ok i kinda cannot help but appreciate the part of that one minecraft panel at twitchcon where an audience member asked how they deal with burnout or challenging parts of their work and every single one of them was like “we do not get burnt out. we play minecraft for a living and it is easy.”

#‘topsy why were you watching the dsmp panel twitchcon vod’ do not presume to know what is beneath my dignity #would not recommend watching it if you are capable of experiencing secondhand embarassment though #you might die #but once you get past the feeling of mildly dying inside the social dynamics of that whole train wreck was FASCINATING #as someone who has had to answer audience questions before my primary response was ‘oh god this moderator is leaving them for DEAD’ #like HOW did no one on staff think ‘hm perhaps we should give the awkward minecraft guys an assertive and knowledgable panel mod’ #they’re just a bunch of guys who happened to gain massive online audiences #and barely have the first clue as to how to work a live one #except karl #that kid fuckin KNOWS #mumbling
