** Furthermore, Jerod offers to run a yoga segment the following day if they hit a particular stretch goal during the segment. And he does! It's just 30 minutes of him running a yoga class with some of the crew.


Added DiffLines:

* One of the segments is called "Nap Time," and is just Jerod conked out on the couch, while various incentives give or remove comfort, have someone reading him a bedtime story, wrap the couch and more. It's weirdly wholesome and adorable.

** In general, the amount of care that the whole event takes towards its participants-- for example, allowing Jon to be immune from the spray bottle since he's recovering from a cold, and extending TRG Makes Music since Josh needed time to recover after the mayhem of Crowd Control. It's a really good model of self-care and shows how much this group of people cares for each other.

* The absolute outpouring of support from participants and donators alike for Emile and Tim. The two came down with COVID right before the event, and were thus unable to participate in-person; instead of people being upset that two of the three core Runaway Guys wouldn't be at the event, many of the donations are sending them well wishes and telling them to rest and not worry about participating remotely.
* Alongside the usual shirt for donation merch, there's a zine available to purchase featuring art from members of the TRG fan community. It's amazing to see the way fans are coming together for this and the support the TRG crew has for them.
** Included in this zine is an incredibly sweet letter from Tim: "How TRG Changed My Life." In it, he talks about how important the community, and his friendships with Jon and Emile, are to him. ending with:

When Jon mentions how he hasn't felt this much hatred towards a game since ''Mario Party 3'', which only happened then due to the end of his five-year relationship, Emile promises that should any of them have a relationship end again, they won't do a collab at that time; fully showing how much he cares about Jon compared to the NoSympathy he showed back in ''Mario Party 3''. Later on, when Jon says he's wrecked his voice from all of the yelling, Emile sounds genuinely worried about him, asking if he needs to take a break before they do Minigame Mode, and when Jon says he might need a throat lozenge, Emile reassures him that he has plenty.
