hey bug game is on backup for this so if you're around for PAX, let me know and i'll come say hi? 👉👈

The VOD for the Community Block Party is up! It is always such a pleasure to be able to show off the amazing talent that the greater GDQ family has to offer 💜 The harder we work to support and uplift each other, the stronger we are. Together! www.youtube.com/watch?v=koKd...

running events is a rewarding experience but they don’t tell you about the Feeling.

I can't believe that there are 30+ incredible performers showing up to support me getting a new hole I can't believe that we're selling merch that says "no ethical pussy under capitalism" I can't believe how amazing @fletchisafurry.bsky.social is but actually I can believe it all life is good

huge huge shoutouts to @tantrummerch.com for the quick turnaround on this and letting us print truly the most absurd art of all time to support @ohheyitskara.bsky.social and the highest of appreciation to @fletchisafurry.bsky.social who designed the tunc shirt and spearheaded the store setup 💛

OH HEY I'm getting bottom surgery in Apr & I'll need to take time off work to recover. SO! My gay friends & I are streaming HOLE-A-THON, a mutual aid event to cover my time off! We start at 6p ET on Feb 27-Mar 1st on www.twitch.tv/ohheyitskara. Schedule at horaro.net/holeathon/sc...!

I've been learning how to go fast in a lot of video games and they also say teaching is one of the best ways to learn... @quacksilver.bsky.social and I will be exchanging some of our favorite games and see what we can learn in just 2 hours!

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

Hey, BlueSky — a bit of transparency for you. Today is our final day of our fundraiser event for @raceforward.org, Back to Black 2026. Today is also the day of multiple major events going on country-wide, even globally. With this in mind, know that we’re against the grain and we /NEED/ your help.

ALL HANDS ON DECK, #BTB26! The skillful @jrocthegod.bsky.social has got a great showcase of HADES II for you tonight! If we get to $20K raised, we unlock a BONUS Surface run and, incentive willing, WITH NO HANDS! Support Jroc, support @raceforward.org! DONATE: gamesdonequick.com/donate/63?pr...

**SCHEDULE UPDATE** Our runners are going too fast (positive) which means MORE BACK TO BLACK!!!! After this upcoming run of Street Fighter 2: Champion Edition, @cassasaur.blacksky.app will return with Dr. Mario (SNES 0-10) Come chill with us. :) gdq.gg // #BTB26

It is my honor to officially say... WELCOME BACK TO BACK TO BLACK!!! We are live on Twitch www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick AND YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmHj... Come hang out with us as we get set to kick #BTB26 off!

Back to Black is back! @gamesdonequick.com’s annual fundraiser for Race Forward has returned for Black History Month. Last year, GDQ's @blackinaflash.bsky.social community of players raised $44K. They're back again, February 5-8, to speedrun through your favorite classic and latest video games.

HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH!!!! We've always been here and we'll always be here. Period. See you Thursday on the @gamesdonequick.com channel when we welcome you back to Back to Black!

A better world is possible and the speedrunning community proves it To not only show up for the frontlines but to sing and laugh and talk about cartoon fleas while we do it is proof that we are stronger than fascism ever can be, i am indebted to you all awoo

streaming today and getting this off my spirit now: BHM starts tomorrow. I hope the energy and drive that we've seen this weekend translates into continuing that work all month because police brutality and state sanctioned violence overwhelmingly impacts PoC.

TODAY! LIVE RIGHT NOW!! on the host mic later today for UNBEATABLE, Earthbound, and Chicory and then on Sunday for Silksong (but you should tune in for the whole thing) always and forever, FUCK ICE

No preview sucks so here is the post with alt text.
