By the way, #SGDQ starts tomorrow!
Sumner Games Done Quick is the summer half of the biannual charity speedrunning marathon, raising money for Medicins Sans Frontiers (Doctors Without Borders). If you enjoy videogames, it's always got at least a couple of really amazing runs to watch, and the way that the community has remained trans-inclusive in the face of gamer bro criticism is a beautiful thing to see.
Looking through the schedule (https://gamesdonequick.com/schedule/) there are some cool things like Okami, Lena's Inception, Timespinner, En Garde!, Dread Delusion, Pseudoregalia, Evoland, Backyard Baseball '97, Rose and Camellia, and more than is practical to list here...
Super Metroid low% Ice should be cool (hah).
Beyond enjoying watching the runs, I often find some new indie game I want to play in the marathon. Plus the community atmosphere of the longer RPG runs is super cozy, even from afar.
I'll probably be watching a bunch of stuff via VODs instead of live; once things are uploaded you can access videos right from the schedule is that's more your jam.
