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.
