First there was Games Done Quick. You know it well, mainly because I bring it up all the time. A bi-annual speedrunning event held every six months, usually in January and July, and dedicated to a specific charity. This was also the pattern behind the spinoff Frame Fatales, which also streams twice a year, albeit on a smaller schedule and scope. Now there’s a NEW GDQ event in town…presenting for the first time, Games Done Queer! Like Frame Fatales it is a speedrunning event focused on a specific group of people who like to game, this time the LGBTQ folks. It’s also the shortest GDQ spinoff yet at just one weekend (this one…you already missed Friday). It’s short enough that we can actually list the entire planned lineup of games without issue. Friday Diddy Kong Racing Transistor Frogmonster DK Tropical Freeze Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo Ghostland Yard Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem Kiosk Wolfenstein: The Old Blood Saturday Beastieball Pokemon Puzzle League Tetris: The Grand Master Hatris Hi-Fi Rush Elite Beat Agents Rift of the Necrodancer R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 Sonic Adventure Deltarune Kirby and the Forgotten Land Sunday Untitled Goose Game The Elephant Collection Windowkill Super Glitter Rush […]

I really like the idea of Games Done Queer, especially as it shines a light on the LGBTQ+ gaming community. It feels like there’s still room to do more of this kind of thing in gaming. Events like these encourage not just inclusivity, but also a sense of belonging. The charity side of it—supporting Lambda Legal—makes it even more meaningful. Plus, having games like Beastieball and Elite Beat Agents shows how varied gaming is, and it’s always exciting to see these speedrunners bring their skills to such a wide range of games.

I think Games Done Queer is a great addition to the GDQ family. It’s not just another speedrun event—it’s one that highlights the LGBTQ+ community and supports an important cause like Lambda Legal. The short format is interesting too. It might be less intense than the usual GDQ events, but it still delivers a jam-packed weekend of great games. Watching Tetris: The Grand Master live will definitely be a highlight for me. It’s events like this that remind me why I love the gaming community—it’s inclusive and always evolving.
