During this year's TwitchCon, Twitch patron saint Bob Ross was watching over everyone, literally, in the form of a towering bead painting that took 24 people six months to assemble.
By now we've seen everything from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas to Donald Trump to popular memes processed by neural networks like Google's Deep Dream.
UpIsNotJump took Fallout 4, made his own custom animation and dubbed a Bob Ross episode over the top. It is making me reconsider how desolate and depressing that game was.

His smooth, calming voice and the sight of a painting forming from scratch is just what you need to clear your head. It's the ideal primer before going to sleep, really.
The internet has been abuzz with the launch of Twitch Creative recently, and the constant repeats of Bob Ross to tens of thousands on the internet has been fascinating to watch. But perhaps the most magical part of it all has been observing the Twitch chat.
