raising a grip of cash for cancer research and also producing a hit show and getting mad rich in the proicess is sad and for faggots -said nobody ever, cept the fail fuckers in YOSPOS

how much did they raise? what hit show? who is getting rich? all I see is some dude dressed up as link watching another dude play a game in what seems to me to be the least fun way possible

well, they raised 100k today and its the first day of a week long thing, i think, idk, imnot a scholar on this show. i imagine the producers are probably making some p deece cash and will proilly get more gigs producing video game content for the rest of the careers... seeing as how agdq is a big hit

It's legitimately confusing to me why anyone would donate a single dollar to a twitch streamer for playing a video game but I can dig people donating literally tens of thousands to charity per run I mean that actually owns and if you don't think so then you're probably gayer than the autists who spend their lives playing these games

I can see it from rotor's POV though,.. Being elderly the man probably has barely enough money to pay his local housing tax, so donating to some asinine cause like cancer research seems unwise

i think that if you get brought in to do the event you get brought out expenses paid? probably not though, its probably just a promotional event for your twitch stream and such

also i guess a worker from upstairs died from cancer over the weekend :(
