#SGDQ2026 went by in an absolute blur. this was my first event not working stream tech, but I did a good job of keeping myself busy with the Fatales. they let me back on the host mic and I got to do Stardew from the couch! plus, live commentary for Rift was amazing. see y'all again in 6 months?
super honored to be returning to the host mic for SGDQ 2026! my first speedrun and mainline experience was running Crafts Room in Stardew for AGDQ 2023 so it is truly special to get to return to a similar run for some of my best friends 💛
We're live tomorrow with our stream for @coolearthaction.bsky.social ! Join my terrarium and make it more difficult for me to attempt to unlock All Achievements. Game giveaways and expanded schedules to be added as milestones! Watch: twitch.tv/thevaliantsun Donate: tiltify.com/@thevaliants...
I'll be live April 22nd starting at 7 PM as part of the The Steam Earth Appreciation Festival (17-24 April) benefitting @coolearthaction.bsky.social ! They directly fund and support Indigenous communities who protect the world's rainforests to fight global climate change. Let's catch some bugs 🐝!
this submission period was one of the busiest I think I have ever had but I am really proud of what I was able to cook up for SGDQ
I've been learning how to go fast in a lot of video games and they also say teaching is one of the best ways to learn... @quacksilver.bsky.social and I will be exchanging some of our favorite games and see what we can learn in just 2 hours!
halfway through #AGDQ2026! final stream tech shift was this morning and my final hosting shift for 102 Dalmatians into the first chunk of Awful Block 💛
expect a costume change today but give it up for Day 3 of #AGDQ2026 ! more stream tech, my first ever mainline GDQ couch appearance (Bill Nye!), and Awesome Words Spelled Quick hosted by the Frame Fatales. all today! and also Trans Rights always and forever!
early Day 2 selfie for #AGDQ2026 to continue the now 3 AGDQ streak of 7 AM stream tech shifts 🔥 @framefatales.com Meetup #1 today at 4 PM and I hope to see all my women and femmes there 💛
Day 1 AAAAAAAAAA I'm hosting tonight for Split Fiction for my best friends 💛 tune in #AGDQ2026
my first hosting shift is for two of my absolute best friends for Split Fiction on Sunday night. then, i return for my second shifts in the early hours of Thursday with a TAS showcase of 102 Dalmations into Awful Block, starting with The Land Before Time through Super Buff HD 🔥 i'm so excited
contrary to popular belief, this is my first time hosting for mainline GDQ and i am beyond excited and honored and aaaaaaaaaaa WHAT DO YOU MEAN???
you can *catch* me at #FlameFatales running Kabuto Park (an indie bug creature collector and the FF Game of the Month) on Sept. 10th at 6:39 PM ET! incentives to name and pet the bugs! 🪲🐞 other encounters include hosting for NOISZ STΔRLIVHT, Lunistice, and Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii!
I prepared, but it wasn't enough! I could not complete a speedrun so we donated $100 on top of the $135 raised during the stream! But we're not done! Jump on the train and join us all weekend as we visit 17 other amazing Stardew content creators raising money for AFSP! horaro.org/afsp-raidtra...
I have prepared 5 speedrun categories to attempt to complete during my segment. By sending in donations, you can interrupt me! For every run I am unable to complete, I will donate $20 to AFSP. See you at 10 AM on the 30th! Let the games begin!
I will be kicking off the Stardew Streamers x Team Never Winless Raid Train at 10 AM on August 30th to benefit The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention as part of Team Never Winless! I will be speedrunning but I might have some donation incentives to make it more interesting 👀
#SGDQ2025 was by far my busiest event but i loved every second. from helping with the Fatales events as one of the community liaisons to my usual spot behind the stream tech desk, i got to see so many old friends and meet so many more. let's do it again in 6 months 💛
finale day at #SGDQ2025! this week has been a blur but I'm not quite done yet. final stream tech shift and then watching the finale runs to finish it off 💛
friday? in my #SGDQ2025? another stream tech shift today but otherwise my obligations are sparse and I'm looking forward to relaxing a bit before some evening runs I'm really excited about!
how is it already Day 5 of #SGDQ2025? excited to start my final volunteer position of the event with my first stream tech shift. honored to be over the checkpoint again and help make sure some of the more complicated setups look crisp on stream 💛 also, unrelated to anything, it is suit day!
give it up for Day 4 of #SGDQ2025! if you haven't come to a Frame Fatales Meetup, come to the one tonight at 6 PM! else, I'll be wandering around all day today.
Day 3 of #SGDQ2025 and we're starting with tabling and then running tech for Frame Changer (an improv comedy show inspired by Game Changer) at 8 PM tonight! you won't want to miss it! also, Trans Rights Tuesday!!
Day 2 of #SGDQ2025! today is the first of the Fatales Meetups at 8 PM so I'll be doing a little bit of a fit change for that, but if you're available tonight, we'd love to see you! 💛
it begins! Day 1 of #SGDQ2025, so it's fit check time! this event I have been helping with set-up, working as one of the Fatales Liaisons, and I'll be on stream tech later this week! oh, and I will be trying to watch some games done quick, or something 💛
super excited to announce that i'm part of Twitch's #TogetherForPride recommendation shelf! queer creators will have a chance to appear on the front page for June and the rest of the year 🌈
did not get in with the shitposting or sincere runs to SGDQ but I did have 3 bags of cheese to pick from, so whose the real winner here? (excuse my delay, I was out of town for work)
