PAX East 2025 has been and gone; if you missed it, you might as well have missed Twitch Guilds‘ small taste of culture. The official Twitch account posted a little about gaming, culture, and community, mixing in a good muster of well-known faces from the guilds. The reply thread was like a wild mix of hype and chaos, followed by a few rather questionable opinions.
First, the good part. Streamers and creators found it too important an event not to attend. @_Smirky and @cosmicquarts gush about the bonds that were forged embarrassingly; Smirky mentions being able to raise over $2,000 for St. Jude during the event. That is the kind of positive energy that should be shared: gaming for good. Then we had @ChangeAffector, unable to contain her excitement as @The_Ben_Starr (yes, THAT Ben Starr) was seen flaunting an FFVIII sticker. What a flex.
But, in true Twitter fashion, the madness really began to set in. Some replies changed course in an… let’s call it unexpected… way. One user (@alexpsx) joked, “Wait, Twitch is about gaming? I thought it was a porn site at first.” Classic. Meanwhile, @Jechtxy and @SpitDragon hurled some heavily loaded accusations against Twitch’s platform policies. Ow.
Then we got some drama because there really can’t be a gaming event without it. @TheKingCastiel came out of nowhere saying DrLupo was cheating in a Twitch event and was getting away with it because he was getting the VIP treatment. No evidence, just vibes, apparently. What about @DreamingDavey? Dropped a one-word bomb: “Woke.. 🤡” and bounced. No context. Total chaos.
But behind all the noise, the real treasure is how much these meet-ups actually mean to the creators. @candyxbomb: “Couldn’t pick a favorite moment because meeting fellow guildies was the best.” That feeling of community? That is what PAX (and Twitch) is about.
PAX East 2025 was fully loaded with prime hype, meme fodder, juicy drama, and big doses of love for gaming. If you missed it, pull yourself together and start planning for next year. Unless, of course, you made it there, in which case drop your fave moment in the comments below. Just maybe steer clear from conspiracy theories.
Oh, and shoutout to @Pedakin for the most relatable tweet of the night: “Please everyone, contain your excitement.” Too late, my dude. The hype train has already left the station.
