I have a wild idea: doing 7 days of ~8-hour live-streams titled "Bugs Done Quick", where I go through ~20 lucky #FOSS / #opensource issues and fix them. The dates would coincide with this year's #GamesDoneQuick, so, July 6-13.
I don't have much experience streaming, but I've done it ~twice in some form and seem to enjoy coding live before an audience.
Timezone-wise, the stream would be EU morning/afternoon.
Thoughts? 😊

It's Frost Fatales time! I knit a hat for a prize! You can win it by donating on Thursday! I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS!
This is the first #GamesDoneQuick event I've attended aside from [AS]GDQ, the production quality is great though. They even have a support stage for the prize segments. I'm so proud of GDQ bootstrapping all that.
I haven't checked in with a lot of #GamesDoneQuick events that aren't the main winter/summer events, but they are currently hosting the #BackToBlack event of Black speedrunning organization Black in a Flash. The event proceeds benefit the Race Forward charity.
I think I'll be tuning into this one some over the weekend, posts will go under this one in a thread such as I do.
Five Great Runs from Awesome Games Done Quick 2025
A mere five runs among too many worth watching to list, of course.

Puh. Aufm Twitchkanal von #GamesDoneQuick läuft eine Wiederholung des AGDQ2025. Wird alle paar Minuten von ein paar Minuten Werbung unterbrochen. *Gefühlt* im Verhältnis 50:50.
Könnten aber auch nur 50% sein.
Jedenfalls ist das Unwatchbar. Ich hatte schon bei #Wheel's Sänger ihm sein Twitch aufgehört zu gucken weil's genervt hat.
Das Internet ist kaputt.
Here's the #GamesDoneQuick #EldenRing saxophone showcase on YouTube. It's a bit hilarious, because you can hear some of the atmospheric in-game effects and soundtrack, the commentators explaining speed strats, and in between doots and toots by the saxophone thingy. The commentators themselves break out laughing during the thing.
Another excellent #AGDQ. That finale was incredible! Glad to see another $2.5m raised for Prevent Cancer Foundation, too!
Credits are running on the #GamesDoneQuick Twitch channel. They've raised $2,5M this time around. The money goes to #PreventCancerFoundation, as always for the winter GDQ.
Final¹ total: $2,556,305 raised for the Prevent Cancer Foundation
¹ not actually final
Meanwhile, the Super Metroid race has ended, the chat is spamming Deer Force emotes
A downright nostalgic end to #AGDQ2025
Time for the finale speech, announcement of SGDQ date/location, and the Feels™
Oh boy, a convolutional neural network built with PyTorch is indeed involved in the implementation of this randomizer.
Eddie said something in the pre-race discussion about machine learning being used in the randomizer? I'm curious to know what sort of ML they might be using.
I'm going to have to start keeping track of how many GitHub repositories I check out during each GDQ event :blobfox3c:
The credits roll modded with time spent in each area and splits for each pickup is pretty cool
It's wild what modders are doing to speedgames. They've even brought Super Metroid back to the main stage long after the vanilla game has lost its appeal to most people except the hypercompetitive types.
Top 2 runners finish less than 1 second apart from each other. Both had dramatic Escapes, multiple fumbles for each runner
I never get really into SM runs/races on their own merits (I find the game hard to follow), but that was a fun ending!
The bid war for Save/Kill the animals has raised $173K alone. It could easily break $200K before the runners enter "go mode"
Seems like "Save" is going to win this year, because it requires the runners to find the particular room¹ that contains the animals before doing the Escape sequence.
¹ they're always in Bomb Torizo's room apparently
just shy of $2.5 M about halfway through the race, so no $3M unless the vendors are holding onto *very* large donations (I imagine at most $100K for both combined but that's probably way over what they have left to donate)
(Edit: oh there's also the Humble Bundle total to donate, too)
But this marathon will probably beat the total for #AGDQ 2024. And more than $2M towards cancer prevention is nothing to sniff at. An amazing charity drive, as always.
The meme sprite replacements for the Super Metroid race are pretty good
Currently a race between:
Swole Eggplant
Swole Pug
Swole Kirby
Link (LttP) holding Link (Lttp) on his head
