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
Saturday
Sunday
The charity Games Done Queer is fundraising for is the Lambda Legal and Education Fund, the oldest legal organization in the US dedicated to achieving full recognition of the civil rights of LGBTQ+ people and everyone living with HIV. Lambda Legal works through impact litigation, education, and public policy work to secure justice and equality.
You’ll be able to watch Games Done Queer on any device that streams Twitch, running this weekend. October 31 through November 2.
