Nadia was recognized as a highly intelligent (albeit somewhat monotonous and long-winded) individual, whose main claim to fame was her contributions to the Linux kernel source tree. However, in 2013, she fell on hard times and became semi-homeless for several years following. Starting in early 2014, she began hosting live hangout after live hangout on her channel, immediately starting a new one when the 8 hour time limit was reached (yes, she slept in her own hangouts as well), and would occasionally use her phone to go into other people's hangouts while hers continued to run. This isn't an exaggeration at all...until late 2015, the periods of time where a Nadia hangout WASN'T running were few and far between. She would divide her hangouts into series which were always given interesting titles, such as "Christians Destroyed Me" or "My Transsexualism is a Nuclear Weapon." Nadia's hangouts suffered from poor moderation, and since she always made the join link public, they were a perpetual revolving door of fundamentalist Christians, Presuppers, vitriolic antitheists, conspiracy theorists, white nationalists, social justice warriors, and practically every other internet stereotype you could think of, but also a wide variety of intelligent and interesting people. Nadia's hangouts ran the gamut from engaging, intellectual conversation to shouty clusterfuckers to boring snoozefests. Unfortunately, due to the existence of hangout sniping, a phenomenon like Nadia's hangouts will never again be possible until the exploit is fixed (although that's probably a good thing). Nadia stopped running hangouts and left G+ completely sometime in early 2016, and is reportedly employed and generally doing much better. Still, her impact on the GDC will not be easily forgotten.
