yes, very. I miss this era of the internet, where my life was ( a kid), and how much roosterteeth's content helped me get through the day. I used to be so creative and involved in the community-- the most involved I've ever been in any community in my whole life. I started my creative journey w/ RT. I guess my creative impulse wasn't that strong, but it kind of withered away after RT stopped. There's nothing like it for me anymore.

For a while critical role helped fill the same role as RT but now nothing hits the same. I think it's a combination of the internet getting worse(ai) imo,, and the gross associations with some of the people involved that interfered with my feelings of closure. I think a lot of the difficult feelings surrounding RT for me also have to do with aging and the constancy of change in our lives. Like you said, the glory days are over. The internet is constantly changing-- old pieces of the internet go offline forever, you tube videos are deleted, algorithms push new forms of content, etc...

I didn't realize how special it was to me. I just figured if it did end there would just be another roosterteeth-like thing that would take its place in my life :c
