I gotta admit, I sometimes still go back and watch early Game Grumps just because 2012 and 2013 were a happier years for me. I was finally on my own back then, I had a cat who loved me, and I had a moderate amount of financial independence.
I had friends too, and we all enjoyed the same type of internet content, so I probably mix together that type of nostalgia. All blended together. We'd watch Game Grumps and then we'd also play terrible games on a couch together.
I know nothing like that has necessarily changed, I can still find people to play video games with, but so much of my brain has changed. Even knowing how Game Grumps turned out doesn't dissuade me from enjoying the older stuff somehow. I never liked Dan. I got sex creep vibes from him Day 1 and I wasn't wrong.
Fair enough ๐
I'm very much in the same boat, I absolutely agree there are problems with the attitudes. But that Grumps era just holds a special comfort for me.
I'd watch anything similar if I could find it. Two goofballs goofing around with SNES games on a couch is what I like. Reminds me of when I had friends. Everything is twitch streams and vtubers now and it just doesn't hit the same.
