    Hyperfixation is a podcast about the small things that bring big joy. It’s a serotonin dump of media and more. Each episode Kristina and Briana pick a topic to hyperfixate on and dive in to understand the good, bad, and obscure things they love and obsess over.

    In this episode Kristina attempts to explain Genshin Impact to Briana with varying degrees of success. Even after being hyperfixated on it for a few months now, she's not entirely sure she even understands the mechanics. All she knows is that this free-to-play game isn't exactly kind to her wallet.

    But it's fun and it's a diversion from the world on fire, so hey! If you've been curious about Genshin Impact, play it yourself, or just want to hear two sisters roasting each other over things they love, have a listen!
