Before gaining fame as a gamer, he was involved in theater and participated in several plays in 2014, including performances as Frank in Infinite Black Suitcase and in Summertime by Charles Mee.
Rise to Prominence with Genshin Impact
Tectone’s popularity grew significantly with his streams and videos centered on the gacha game Genshin Impact. His content often involved spending large amounts of money within the game to acquire in-game items, a practice that drew a large viewership. One notable incident involved him spending $2,000 in an unsuccessful attempt to obtain a specific in-game weapon, an event that some community members believe influenced the game’s developers to introduce a new system for obtaining desired items. His most popular video, “The WORST account in Genshin Impact… and how I FIXED it for 0$,” was uploaded on February 9, 2021. He is a member of the gaming organization One True King (OTK).
Controversies
Throughout his career, Tectone has been a part of several public controversies. In August 2022, a clip of him speaking aggressively to his then-wife, Fream, surfaced online. He later stated that the last two years of their eight-year marriage were difficult. The couple divorced in November 2022.
In 2025, Tectone discussed his father’s past legal issues, revealing that his father had been found guilty of storing pornography on a government computer, sexual harassment, and maltreatment of several women, among other charges. Tectone has also been open about his personal struggles, including a diagnosis of schizophrenia, and discusses his mental health experiences with his audience.

I tried to handle this via the legal system, but Pink knows the loopholes in defamation…
