That awkward moment when I’m in the liminal under-construction area at the airport and I’m 90% sure a semi-famous YouTuber just walked by, but I don’t say hi because I’m with family and don’t want to spend the next few minutes awkwardly explaining their channel to my dad

The vibes at this AGDQ have been nothing short of immaculate. The entire event has been a massive fuck you to all of the darkness, fear, and hopelessness that a lot of us are feeling right now. I'm so proud to be a part of the speedrunning community and the GDQ Staff. We're changing the world.
