First Sichuan dish I learned to make; boiled beef. It’s very thinly sliced beef with whatever veggies you have (onion celery for me), but the broth is the magic: Soy, sesame, beef broth, cilantro stem, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and chili oil from scratch with sichuan peppercorns

Easy; Ori and the Blind Forest Randomizer Goated randomizer, I would suggest not playing it unless you have hundreds of hours to burn into it; it is that good

I played Silksong mostly blind; This is my act 2 final boss fight that was my 2nd attempt, it absolutely made me pumped/focused/fired-up and so I wanted to share: www.twitch.tv/videos/28333... I had never seen this fight until today, but was so in the zone that I owned it #BeastCrestBest

So cooking has been a hobby for me for many years, tonight I did quesadillas with an Asian fusion take; homemade mayo, soy based reduction with chili oil, homemade salsa and a sharp cheese blend 👌 I’ve tried making tortillas but never been successful with them yet

I have been working a lot on overlays since having a computer again, and I just want to say how much I love my phone background. Absolute 🔥🔥🔥 (Also symbol is a tattoo on my back)

I will be on comms for Jedi Knight 2; this schedule is fire

ohhhhhhh it's a big one Today: Indie sequels on MYOV! Checking back in on Grime II now that it's been like routed and also All Characters in STS2! The weekend: THE MENAGERIE IS UPON US 👀 15 hours of the best video game genre with my dear friend Mallory Metroidvania

The most important rule for any streamer community to have is rule #0 "Don't make me want to ban you"

It's okay to ban someone from your chat for no other reason than "their vibes are bad." I promise, it'll be better for your peace of mind and your chatroom's morale.

We would LOVE any assistance to help get more eyes on the show and raise more money for St. Jude! 💜

STREAMERS are you wanting to support the marathon and get more eyes on @stjudeplaylive.bsky.social for free? CONSIDER:

It definitely feels a bit surreal having a computer again, streams will definitely be occurring more after I redo a lot of my assets; today I am just sitting with GIMP and OBS making overlays and troubleshooting No idea why but OBS can’t locate my webcam 😂

I’m back; stream in ~ 30 mins or so where I’ll be doing first time setup stuff, programming some livesplit stuff and happy to chat and answer any questions people might have because this year has been absolutely ridiculous Twitch.tv/Covert_Muffin

Alright it’s time for my ritual; what SGDQ runs were good watches? Can be biased or like an obvious title like silksong etc I couched Constance by 8bit (must watch), system shock by Bloodthunder, and Dark Forces 2 by Alnak; all great runners and performers, I am looking for other standouts

Never thought I’d say this, but potential stream tomorrow where I’ll be setting up my new laptop; it’d be an open AMA of the ridiculous year I’ve had and a peak behind the curtain of setting up a stream and speedrun based computer

Also mouse suggestions; I use a fingertip grip which is rare, so curved sides are a pain, so if something has flat sides that are orthogonal/perpendicular to the mouse pad that is ideal And fewer or no side mouse buttons as well; I am literally looking for a basic mouse that can keep up with 3k DPI

I am looking to purchase a gaming laptop by the end of the month; suggestions? I’m looking for something under $3k but will let me play games like Elden Ring and stream older games Optic seems like the best long term but Lenovo and other companies are cropping up, so I’m curious what is best?

Reality check for yall wanting someone to be blamed/fired: I've volunteered behind the scenes, and the biggest strength I've come to appreciate in the GDQ communities is an environment that treats mistakes as human rather than shaming those who make them. It's why we get to enjoy the events we do.

I'm just going to say the unpopular thing: Cheering for somebody to get fired because a mistake was made (and summarily corrected) is ghoulish. Clearly there was an oversight and people don't have to demand blood for every error. Some of you should reevaluate your morals.

We have canceled our sponsored stream with SNK. We have heard the concerns from our community regarding this partnership, specifically the company’s majority ownership by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, and the human rights concerns tied to the Saudi government.

Today was rough. Tomorrow, let’s celebrate the various speedrunning communities that help make this community whole. Frame Fatales, Games Done Queer, Black in a Flash, Asian Speedrun Alliance, Latines and Hispanics in Speedrunning. Join us tomorrow on GDQ Hotfix!

I appreciate when people make an error and then establish their intent direct and clear GDQ did that after re-evaluating an initial decision, and cut a stream, which honestly was fast after digging in to an oversight. I appreciate strongly they admitted a mistake, and they rectified it immediately

THANK YOU CHAT ❤️ WE HIT 2.4 MILLION RAISED FOR @doctorswithoutborders.org FOR THOSE CAME BEFORE AND THOSE WHO COME AFTER. #SGDQ2026

If you missed @lifel1ke.bsky.social running Cyberia during silly block at #SGDQ2026, it is definitely a must watch. Lifelike has a particular monotone deadpan humor which proves that there are many different ways to do commentary to best represent the speedrun. Absolutely brilliant performance

Sadly I woke up this morning absolutely floored; I either have flu or COVID (tested negative each day) so sadly my presence at SGDQ this week has come to an end Still got to see tons of amazing friends + people + couch 3 runs; time to watch the rest of the event in an absolute fever dream from bed

This is in just under 12 hours.

Raelcun@raelcun.bsky.social · last mo.

I'm so happy that @gamesdonequick.com is giving me the chance to showcase @minodev.bsky.social 's Maiden & Spell this SGDQ. Single character story run on hard difficulty, bid war to choose between: - Hero of Frost - Royal Arcanist - Silent Redhood - Sun Priestess I hope you all give it a watch!

This is from the #SGDQ2026 photo album hahahaha 😂😂😂 I love the volunteer and staff crew hahaha bunch of meme

Day 3? Yeah it’s Tuesday; I’ve pulled like 2x 20+ hour days in the last 3 days so I am a bit out of it hahahaha On to another meetup and then volunteer shift from 4pm-8pm #SGDQ2026
