Hello, friends. It's time we gather and discuss the important thing going on in the news right now. The only crucial thing that is dominating your thoughts and feelings these days.
I'm talking about the HQ Trivia app, doyeee.
(I'm going to assume you're not an idiot, but just in case, HQ Trivia is a new app that's basically a live trivia game, but somehow way more fun than that sounds.)
Here's how it works: Twice a day, there's a live game — you have to log in on time or else you can't play. The host (usually a guy named Scott) asks 12 questions that get harder as you go along. If you get one wrong, you're out, and the remaining winners split the pot of actual money.
I've been playing it for a few weeks, and have yet to win. Go ahead, laugh at me for being dumb. WHATEVER.
Since most of us idiots have only know utter defeat in the game, it's time we collectively discuss the feelings of anguish and pain that we experience. Come with me on this journey of ~feelings~......
1. The emotions start when you're impatiently waiting for the game to start.
Me waiting for 9:00 so I can lose at HQ trivia like every other day.
2. The crushing feeling of defeat can set in early if you're slow and forget to sign in on time.
When you miss @hqtrivia start by a few seconds.
3. Therefore you are reduced to a slave to the game.

12. Then, inevitably, you lose. The heartbreak may come early.
i’m so excited for HQ so i can lose on the second question and watch how people magically know stupid trivia and win money
13. Or maybe it's the humiliation of getting so close.

14. Knowing that victory is ALMOST within reach — and then failing.
