GDQ weird feelings lmao 

I kind of just stopped watching GDQ at some point and not for like... disliking the event at all? and there's like, still a bunch of runs that I'd be happy to watch or whatever, probably if I were there in person but

I guess there's this kind of feeling that I've moved on from it, I guess, unless I'm there in person in which case I'm not there for the marathon at all, I'm there for the hanging out with people in the practice rooms and other events going on :P

re: GDQ weird feelings lmao 

IDK I've just kind of hit the point of "I can't wait for GDQ to be done so I can hang out with all of the people who went there when I didn't feel up for it again" which is a pretty selfish take, so I kind of just usually fade into the shadows for a week :P

@karma i feel like AGDW being so soon after christmas adds to that feeling. xmas already disrupts a lot of people's routines so it just extends the season of people being off schedule - not around when they usually would be. there's a sense of lonliness to that

re: GDQ weird feelings lmao 

@karma I feel like there was a point where twitch just, stopped when GDQ was live. Everyone hosted the channel while they were offline, a huge number of people I knew went to the event. But now like, most the people I watch stopped going and/or still stream on their normal schedules. Like it doesn't quite feel, as special anymore?

I dunno how to put it exactly.

re: GDQ weird feelings lmao 

@NinTheFolf yeah I getcha, and it's definitely not that the marathon is any worse. In fact, there's a lot of ways that I'd say it keeps getting better than before!! Just... I've had my fill of it, I guess. :P

re: GDQ weird feelings lmao 

@karma Yeah, as a whole it does continue to improve! But yeah it just feels. Like the cool spark it had isn't quite there anymore? It just kinda feels like one big advertisement now VS a bunch of cool people banding together to do a cool thing.

@karma you're just bitter you never had a run accepted

re: GDQ weird feelings lmao 

@Yza yeah it'd be super weird if I did and that gave me a crash course on polyamory and helped me meet some of the most awesome people I know either directly there or indirectly through the associations formed through there 🤔

re: GDQ weird feelings lmao 

@karma love you!!

re: GDQ weird feelings lmao 

@Yza :3 love you too 💜

re: GDQ weird feelings lmao 

@karma @Yza That's it! I'm goin' fishing

re: GDQ weird feelings lmao 

@trysdyn @karma @Yza y'all have fun, I'm getting dinner

GDQ weird feelings lmao 

@karma I’ve watched so much of it + its VODs for years when I was working from home that I kind of had my fill. I still tune in when I have the time and it’s a game I’m interested in.

There’s also the fact that there are other smaller charity marathons that popped up and added to the mix as well.
