Gen Con 2023 | Day 0

[@wesadie]

I think this must be my 12th year of living my Gen Con vicariously through you. Thanks Nelly.

Yay! Thank you so much for these videos! I met you and Derek once in 2019 at the JW and you were both SO NICE even though you seemed so tired! I can't be at Gen Con this year and that was making me sad, but watching your videos this year is giving me life back and reminding me of how much I love it and all my wonderful memories of years past! And now I am hype to make next year happen! THANK YOU!

It’s been quite a while since I’ve been to GenCon. It’s nice to see how everything has continued to build up and out to support a great event.

I got to see you and Derrick in person already!!!! Yay!!!

Hey! That's us in the background when you met the fan at 4:15! I clocked you as you were talking to them, but I was too nervous to say anything or interrupt you. Plus I had a 9 person group to manage.

We loved the pinball machines!

Just discovered your videos and am enjoying them a lot. Can't make it until Sunday this year but it will be my 7th Gen Con. Wanted to comment - I worked at the Indy City Market from 2014-2020 and the pandemic was brutal on the vendors there. The restaurant I worked at had to close that location (we fortunately still have another location in Fountain Square, close-ish to downtown). A lot of other vendors closed too. The city county building across the street built and moved to a new building and that was a big lunch crowd. The director/management of the city market also changed in later 2020 and it looks like they were unable to really get back on their feet. There's another food hall downtown called The Garage that has become popular the past couple of years and that also took away some of the city market's business. Just a whole bunch of things happened to that place and it's been sad to see.

I saw -1 video yesterday and checked again this morning. Seems fine. Thank you again this was awesome! Heading to my flight to indy now. Would be so nice to meet and thank you in person!

Yes, the pinball machines were amazing!! One thing I miss from before is the Gauntlet machine.

I was able to see day -1, and was worried about that music. Sorry to hear that it might be flagged.

[@2532robh1]

Unfortunately it was loud and distinct in the background. Let's hope it passes scrutiny.

Hiya! Too bad about the gen con forums and loss of that community. I think Discord is pretty exclusionary whereas forums are pretty approachable for a wide variety of people. Hey what, you know people, can we get some sort of forum experience back?
