Final complete day: 2026-08-02. Attention was 0.2% — this entity appeared in 14 of 9,589 analyzed posts/comments in the seven days ending that day (14 mentions).

Each point is a seven-day rolling window of complete UTC days; a point is comparable only when at least 100 analyzed posts or comments fall inside it. A day with no analyzed records counts as zero; missing coverage is marked and never shown as zero. The series ends at the latest complete analyzed day — it never extends into the current incomplete day. How attention is measured.

   They’re actually different substances secreted by different glands. Exercise sweat comes from the eccrine glands, whereas stress sweat comes from the apocrine glands. Eccrine sweat is waterier and not secreted at the hair follicles, so it doesn’t stick around in the same way. Apocrine sweat is what causes BO. A good game is naturally stressful. Gamers’ apocrine glands are working hard. Shampoo and body wash are your friends. (Signed, lovingly, someone at GenCon who’s been holding my breath in the elevators…)

   This is my 4th year coming to GC and I've noticed exactly one person over that span that had any unusual BO. In my opinion, this trope is blown way out of proportion to what actually exists. Or perhaps I have just not been attending the "right" events to be around this type of person.

   I'm 8 months pregnant and just got back from the convention. It was a struggle. I am also prone to near fainting spells so the BO/tight space/hot combo did not help this year. I feel like it's bad every year though but this year in particular was rough. 😫 🤢

   Ever year. It couldn’t get any worse than it was in the 90s. The issue is it hasn’t gotten any better. It’s the same smell of stale weed, BO, and shit.

   The thing about these threads that gets me everytime isn’t the “didn’t bathe or change clothes, BO, deoderant” issues. What the fuck is with the whole “don’t wipe their ass” thing? I’m so goddamned disturbed this is obviously a thing. What is wrong with people?
