I\u2019m in the Glitch Theater at the San Diego Convention Center during TwitchCon 2024, watching a drag artist dressed as Silent Hill<\/em>\u2019s Pyramid Head lip-sync to a nu-metal song on stage.

JuiceBoxx, a streamer and one of the hosts this year, has her face plastered all over the convention center.
