Come join us! We want to see your games! Also, this is the first event where I'm not in charge of production, but I am excited for the ideas being brought by the new leads. Please apply to be a producer or a member of games committee!

It's worth noting that unless you need to engage with 18+ marked channels, you won't have to give discord your ID. I don't agree with the decision to require IDs, but speedrunning event discords do not generally operate in 18+ marked channels.

getting to volunteer for speedrun marathons is pretty cool actually

We have officially gotten a #BTB26 donation total PB!!! But it's not over yet... if we go BEYOND and reach our milestone of $45,567, we unlock @peassmb.bsky.social running bonus DLC levels of the Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds finale! HELP US REACH IT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE! gdq.gg/donate | gdq.gg/live

Take care of each other. That's not a new idea, nor should it be.

🚨We have a very important goal to meet for more #BTB26 content unlocked!🚨 @prohero.stream wants to show off a hidden BULLET HELL mode inside of the rhythm game Muse Dash! ALL HANDS ON DECK, we need this incentive met to propel us to $42k and beyond! DONATE: gamesdonequick.com/donate/63?pr...

This is also relevant to reading any documentation of horrific actions, like the Files of a certain trafficker. Professionals have training and support to withstand these things. Please don't let your curiosity or hunger for justice lead you to hurting yourself!

We sale-in'! ⛵️ store.steampowered.com/app/2311990/...

I'll be joining a group playing PEAK for the Lady Arcaders Raid Train next week, so why not get some practice in with the community first? Come watch the chaos at twitch.tv/selcouthmind (oh, I'm also scared of heights for extra chaos 🙃)

I am super excited to announce that I am a member of the Safe in Our World Ambassador Class of 2026! Mental health is super important to me and I'm proud to help support their work bringing mental health awareness and resources to the gaming space!

There are so many incredible games in this bundle! Go check it out and support the valuable work Safe in Our World is doing!

$10K BLACK JOY, HECK YEAH!! We have reached $10,000 raised for @raceforward.org before Day 1 of #BTB26 even ends! Thank you all SO much for your generosity, cause only with YOU is any of this possible. Let's keep it up together! gdq.gg/donate

GO WATCH BACK TO BLACK!!!

This is a wonderful reminder to track your volunteering! It's cool to look back at the data but also you never know when having the info collected may be useful! I personally am grateful to @chillingwillow.bsky.social for introducing me to the idea! If you'd like a template, feel free to reach out.

♥

This was a ton of fun to be part of! A huge shout out to @sweetpeebs.bsky.social for organizing it. Now go watch the whole event if you haven't yet!

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.

It feels weird to say this, but I'M ONE OF THE FIRST TIME HOSTS FOR #FrostFatales2026!!! Been auditioning basically every event since Flame 2023 and it's finally time! Absolutely stoked to be working with the incredible @quacksilver.bsky.social and the rest of the team! 💜

Happy 20th Birthday, Dirge of Cerberus.

also deeply humbled and grateful for how many submissions came in, it meant a lot to see our passionate community come together in this moment. if you didn't make it in, know it was a super tough choice and you should totally still submit your runs to other events and showcases!!! they were so good

This was one of the most difficult but incredible games committees I've ever been on! A huge thank you to everyone who submitted; the support was overwhelming! I'm also super excited to be running Blue Prince B Quest Bingo on Saturday at 6:30pm ET!!! 👑

The raid trains continue today, this time with the Twitch Women's Guild Speedrunner Raid Train! I'll be practicing the Asgore fight until the train comes in and then CHAT will pick my speedrun for the train! Come join the fun at twitch.tv/selcouthmind

I'm deeply not okay right now. But even with everything actively going wrong, I'm grateful for: - incredible friends - cooking skills - good mental health - the beauty of nature and more ... Hope is a slippery beast, but it's easier to hold onto with others. Go message someone you care about! 🫂💜

Oh hey, it's time for a second stream! The #WildRideRaidTrain is back at my station as we visit Mt. Holly with the weekly B Quest Bingo board! Fingers crossed for good RNG! twitch.tv/selcouthmind

Last night was a ton of fun learning the True Pacifist run for Undertale, so why not keep that learning going today! Stream is live with more very scuffed Undertale speedrun learning and glitch practice! twitch.tv/selcouthmind

It's my turn on the #WildRideRaidTrain , so I'm using the power of friendship to gain the determination to learn True Pacifist route in Undertale! Come cheer me on and join the train at twitch.tv/selcouthmind!

SOMEONE SAVE VELOCITY THEY'RE STILL IN THERE #AGDQ2026

If I had a nickel for every fire alarm that went off during AGDQ 2026, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

Being in the relay prepared me for leaving the hotel in an orderly fashion. #AGDQ2026

My thoughts post-sleep: Stomach still angy I understand "caffeine makes me sleepy" now; I've never been up then down that fast or hard before I also understand the diuretic effect of coffee Tea is 100000% the superior beverage! 🍵
