You’re scrolling right now. Trying to figure out what’s actually happening at Scookievent today.

You’ve sat through one too many virtual gaming events that look slick but feel empty. You click in. The graphics are sharp. The music swells.

I remember the first time I tried to pull off a Scookievent. It was a disaster. Burnt cookies. A melted witch hat.

You remember standing outside in the rain with a clipboard and a box of cookies. Your fingers are numb. A kid just asked if you take Venmo.

You’re exhausted just thinking about another Zoom happy hour. I am too. And I’ve run over three hundred of them.

You just updated Chrome. And your conversion numbers dropped 40%. You’re staring at Google Analytics, refreshing, hoping it’s a glitch. It’s not.

You spent months planning that virtual event. Then the day came (and) it felt like shouting into a void. People muted themselves and disappeared.

You keep losing to the same opponent. Even though you know the game better than most. You’ve watched their replays. You’ve practiced counters.

You’ve played for hours. You’ve watched every video. You still lose to the same guy in ranked. Sound familiar? Most guides don’t help.

You’ve clicked through three tutorials already. None of them told you what to do first. You’re not lazy. You’re not slow.
