I think that's why people are so quick to call the death of gb - we want to preserve it, to protect it as a perfect memory of a time before influencers and YouTube and the naked financialisation of internet fun. They sold friendship in a way that seems impossible to imagine now.

But it was always a fantasy. Giant bomb was a teenage dream of an Internet running off bro vibes rather than money. From hotspot 1 to jeff's firing from gb, i believed, and i loved those guys. We were young and naive and hopeful.

As much as it was about games, it was about the internet and community, and a celebration of the raw excitement of seeing the world change year on year, seemingly for the better. For many of us, those guys were the original parasocial relationship.

I did not power through, but I will be hitting Revelations tonight. A truly miserable movie 👍

what a fuckin movie

Hellraiser started with Hellraiser being my favourite (obviously), but now I'm all about Deader and Revelations because every time I watch them there's some new shit thing that I didnt notice before. Each watch delivers a discovery and adds new shitty depth.
