📢 || Twitchcon San Diego 2024 + Made by YouTube Recap

Hello! If you attended Twitchcon, I hope you had a great time! I'm sure you're feeling a range of emotions right now. There's nothing quite like the post-Twitchcon high (and slight post-con depression) that comes from meeting your community and making new friends, mixed with all the walking, food/drink choices, and late nights. Take that feeling and use it to power through to year-end! If you weren't there, and you've been running on FOMO all weekend, start planning to be at the next one! (The dates are listed below!)

In either case, through the ups and downs of the last year, Twitchcon continues to offer the best reminder about what makes this space unique, worthwhile, and valuable: the community. All the rest falls to the wayside when people get together, and that's true both in person and digitally through chat. There's nothing quite like the streaming community! In any case, you're not here for me to glaze you all this much, so let's get into the news!
