You know, that Honkai Star Rail game, it’s all the rage now. My grandkids, they play it all the time. They keep talking about this “Ghost Actor” thing. Sounds spooky, right? I heard them say it’s some kind of mystery in that game. These games, always with the puzzles and secrets.
They say this “Ghost Actor” is a quest, whatever that means. Some kinda mission you gotta do in the game. Sounds like a whole lotta work if you ask me. But they love it. Keeps ’em busy, I guess. I’d rather be tending to my garden, but hey, to each their own, right? I try to listen when they talk about it, but half the time I don’t understand a lick of what they’re sayin’. Honkai this, Star Rail that… it’s all a jumble in my head.
One thing I did catch was that you gotta choose to be a boy or a girl in the game. They call ’em MCs, whatever that is. My grandson, he picked the boy. Says he’s more “upright.” My granddaughter, she picked the girl. Says she’s more, what’s the word… “scummy”? I don’t know what that means, but she sure likes her. They do the same things, from what I can see. They call this main person “Trailblazer”. Like they are making a new road or something.
Anyways, this whole Ghost Actor in Honkai Star Rail thing, it seems important. The kids say it’s part of the story. Like a big secret you gotta uncover. And there’s this thing called an “achievement.” Sounds like winning a prize or something. They got one for doing something related to the ghost actor, and they were all excited about it. They said something about a locked post, and no new comments. I guess that’s how they talk to each other in these games.
They also mentioned somethin’ called “Zenless Zone Zero” and a fella named “Billy”. Seems like another one of those games they’re into. Technology, it’s something else these days, ain’t it? Back in my day, we played with sticks and stones. We didn’t have no fancy Honkai Star Rail ghost actor quests or achievements.

I overheard them saying something about tags, too. Rail and Ghost, I think they said. Like labels or something. It’s all very confusing, but they seem to know what they’re doing. They sure spend a lot of time on it. I guess it’s their way of having fun.
They were saying this ghost actor quest makes you think. Takes time, they said. Like a real head-scratcher. I reckon it must be pretty interesting to keep them hooked like that. I remember one time, my grandson was stuck on it for days. He kept pacing around, muttering to himself. Finally, he figured it out and let out a whoop! Scared the chickens, he did.
These games, they’re somethin’ else. They got stories, and characters, and all sorts of things going on. It’s like a whole other world in there. My grandkids, they’re always exploring it. They say this Honkai Star Rail is a strategy game. Like planning a war or something. They gotta think ahead and make smart choices. I guess it’s good for their brains.
I still don’t really understand what this whole ghost actor in Honkai Star Rail is all about. But it makes them happy, and that’s what matters. They try to explain it to me, but it’s like they’re speaking a different language. A language of Honkai, and Star Rails, and ghost actors, and achievements.
I asked my granddaughter what the story of this Honkai Star Rail is. Like what do you do? And all that. She just looked at me and said it is like going on a long trip, like you know, walking from here to that old Miller farm. But you are walking in space! On a train! How about that? And these young ones, they are trying to find their way, like lost sheep. Only the sheep have laser guns or something. I don’t know. I don’t think I will ever understand it. But as long as they are not getting into any trouble, I suppose it is fine. If that ghost actor thingy is what they like, then they can go ahead and like it, I say.
Maybe one of these days, I’ll ask them to show me how it works. Maybe I’ll even try it myself. Who knows, maybe this old dog can learn some new tricks. But for now, I’ll just stick to my knitting and my garden. And I’ll keep listening to them chatter on about their Honkai Star Rail and their ghost actor. It’s their world, and I’m just living in it, I guess. These games sure are somethin’. I’ll tell you what.
