The fundamental misunderstanding here (other than being a shit person) is the belief that GDQ is a speedrunning marathon.

It isn't.

GDQ is a charity marathon. It exists to raise money for charity. It does that through speedrunning and high-level gaming.

Charity first. That's the priority.

I have spent so many nights watching GDQ at 3am because of The Disabilityℒ️. I respect where you’re coming from and fully support it…despite wishing you didn’t deal with whatever your personal shenanigans are. Keep doin’ the thing and know you aren’t alone in it!

You did great! Yours was the first run I saw after waking up this morning and a lovely one to watch while prepping coffee.

Appreciate @shout.rocks shouting out JoCo just now in the segment. As fun as this Pictionary section has been, I’d’ve been fine listening to more stories from the early days of Steam…because I too was alive when the Earth was created.

PAX Wiest banner about Diane Wiest

So, years ago, this was one of the joke banners for PAX West. I happened to be the guy making the announcements at the beginning/ending of the day in the Expo Hall at the time, so each of them made a reference to one of her movies in some way.

I agree.

In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

no one who hasn't experienced chronic illness will understand the devastating grief of letting go of another day of your life. When you try to be active whatever that means for you and you realize you just can't do it today, that you have to let the day go and hope for tomorrow.

Watching Speedruns Helped Save My Sanity: or A Timeline of Events After the FND Nation Attacked The very first thing I want you to know is that when I call these folk nerds, I mean that in the most reverent and joyous way I can.

#FrostFatales has been absolutely incredible! The #GDQ community has really meant a lot to me over the past year, as I went from mostly-functional to bedridden and disabled. open.substack.com/pub/wtmeadow...
