    I enjoy GDQ but man do I wish they didn’t read EVERY SINGLE DONATION because some people just have the social awareness of a wombat.

    Germans constantly having to remind you that the Internet exists in Germany or that they’re from some far away magical land.

    The most depressing cancer stories known to man while playing some upbeat and colorful game like Kirby or something

    So. Many. Relatives. dying CONSTANTLY within the same week as GDQ it seems. Like they ALL hold on until THAT specific week so their relatives can donate with a sad story.

    I get that it encourages donations but really your entire motivation to donate to a good cause shouldn’t be to hear your donation stated on stream.

      I don’t know if I’m a weird one for this, but I donate an uneven amount without a comment just so I can go back on the VOD and see if I can find exactly when it got added in.

      One year it got added in exactly when a final boss powered up. Felt like I helped the bad guy.

      When they aren’t reading donations they’re begging for donations or reading an ad. I don’t know why anyone watches it.
