3 Year Anniversary
MelMelMel1997, Pr1nc3ssShortcake
Stardew Valley
Let's go lesbians! Valentine's Day is the perfect time to show our love for Haley and Penny by marrying them as fast as possible, and then continuing to gift our wives up to the maximum 14 hearts of friendship that is unlocked after marrying an NPC. I (MelMelMel1997) will be marrying Penny, and Grace (Pr1nc3ssshortcake) will be marrying Haley!

I am a variety streamer on Twitch that primarily plays indie games - I do a lot of speedrunning and you will occasionally find me crocheting as well!

Grace, also known as Pr1nc3ssShortcake, is a queer cozy variety streamer and a staff member on the Lady Arcaders social media team. She is a speedrunner, self-proclaimed non-gamer, and certified silly goose. Grace can often be found streaming a variety of cozy games, such as Stardew Valley and any game with little guys- but also broadcasts less-cozy content like Hades and Phasmophobia.

Local Couch Co-Op PlateUp! with my friend Joe
Take your standard restaurant management simulator and make it a rogue-like! Joe and I have been friends for over a decade at this point, so we'll be putting our friendship to the test for this showcase. We'll be trying to keep our restaurant open to obtain a 5* rating (and maybe beyond!) while juggling increasingly difficult menus, customers, and randomized kitchen materials.

Promises to Keep - A queer furry visual novel
Promises to Keep just recently got an update which expands on Ollie's character route, which I will be showing off during my stream. If it ends up being shorter than expected and I still have time, I can also explore other paths as well.
Oh, and I will be doing voice acting (to my best ability).
ProfessorBurtch
Brawlin' w/ Burtch
Magic the Gathering: Arena has several Magic formats to choose from, most notably, Brawl-- a 1v1 variant of community favorite format, Commander. During my slot, I'll have a selection of brawl decks featuring commanders that are on theme for the raid train and let chat decide which deck I'll be rocking as I try to win as many matches I can.

TrainerAnade
Backpack Hero Showcase
Backpack Hero is a roguelike inventory management game that offers five characters and many different styles of play. It is currently Anade's main speed game and they have hundreds of hours in the game, so they'll be showing off a bunch of the variety that the game offers. Arrya, Anade's wife (who will be participating in the Raid Train late night Saturday), also has hundreds of hours in the game and will be chatting about the game with Anade. Come join them for some cute, backpack-y fun!

I'm a queer disabled creator who streams infrequently due to health. My current main speed game is Backpack Hero, but I play a wide variety of games and I even plan to stream things like making 3D Pokémon cards or other artsy things.
I also have a service dog, Percy, who attends in-person events with me and I used to train service dogs, so if you ever have service dog questions or want to talk service dogs, I'm your person!
FlannelKat
FlannelKat's Videogame Disaster Shuffler
People will be able to donate to Lady Arcaders to add games to the shuffler. Terrifying and effective. Might add a feature to make my swap controllers to the cdi controller with a specific amount.

I play Skyward Sword Rando. Hopefully competently. I'm okay at it?
Testing some new settings so we hope they're fast?

Hiya, I'm Pippy :>
I'm a Zelda speedrunner and speedrun event host so if my voice sounds familiar, you've probably heard it on host mic for GDQ... possibly making silly Zelda sound effects...
One of my favorite things is sharing excitement, so I'm here to support the passions of others while also talking about speedrun tricks with the detail level and attitude of the world's most enthusiastic college lecture ♡
Let's hang, yeah?
Pr1nc3ssShortcake
Melatonin Speedrun Showcase
I will be showcasing two speedrun categories of the cozy indie rhythm game, Melatonin, previously shown on the LadyArcaders channel by atwentysomethingloser during Lady Arcaders Super Showcase 2024! I will be doing an any% run, followed by an All Stars, All Rings% showcase which shows all possible levels in the game- regular and hardmode versions of all songs, while achieving the highest score possible on each song.

Grace, also known as Pr1nc3ssShortcake, is a queer cozy variety streamer and a staff member on the Lady Arcaders social media team.

chibicarrera
ÅŒkami First Playthrough
I plan to continue my first playthrough of ÅŒkami. Been playing completely blind and reading all text dialogue out loud.
Metroid Crime
Metroid Crime's Incredible Crisis
Incredible Crisis is a Playstation game from 1999 that is completely absurd. I played a bit at the end of last year and it was very fun!

She is a variety streamer with bold, eccentric, effervescent energy in a small package. Crime plays a wide range of video games on Twitch, in addition to fostering a caring and friendly community for her viewers to spend time in.
BeamQueenSol
Boss Fight Shenanigans
Apart from speedruns, I also like a good challenge! A big one for me's the arena/boss endurance modes in many of the Kirby titles. So the raid train stream might see me showing off in Star Allies' hardest version of The Ultimate Choice, Soul Melter EX! Apart from this, I've been meaning to do a similar sort of hard challenge in Forgotten Land, and there's a growing temptation to involve a non-Kirby game as Metroid Dread also has a boss rush mode...

Hi, I'm Sol (she/her)! I'm an Eevee Vtuber with a bunch of hats, a love for beams, and try to give cozy vibes while also playing games quickly! Or sometimes casually, or as a challenge. Expect a lot of Kirby, but other platformers might show up too! And Metroid now, by accident.
I've also been in a bunch of event spaces and been part of the Lady Arcaders tech team since 2024!
Alara, ClockworkOphelia
Co-op Rando with Femmes and Thems
Join our randomized adventures as Alara, ClockworkOphelia, GrayGooGlitch, and Genesis all figure out their coop randomizers. Also, did I mention that Alara is really bad at randomizers? Sure to be a fun and chaotic time.

She/they. Fox bartending Vtuber and Speedrunning host!

Mario Party 4DX followed by Warioware Inc: Mega Party Game$
Gathering a few friends together to play a very silly game of modded mario party 4 deluxe.
deluxe adds more items and we also have size based events set to always work regardless of size for extra chaos. afterwards will play Warioware Inc: MPG, either as a group, or i will present a stage clear speedrun of the game, or both depending on time. I expect to use about a hour for both things!

Hi! Im Anneurismz but you can call me Anne! i speedrun Warioware, Mindwave, and some other games. i also play lots of fighting games, rythym games, nintendo games, and indie games in my streams.
The general vibe of my streams is chill and comfy late at night, with the occasional more energetic stream. I very occasionally will also stream content realted to my other hobbies, specifically modern yoyoing.
Rexy
Generic Bingo
I demonstrate my prowess in Generic Bingo for my slot, showcasing whatever game knowledge I have to at least attempt to clear a full board by myself. Rules are 3 goals to a game and no illegal emulation. I won't know what games I'd play until the day itself! :-)

Humble Mini Mayhem
I hold a monthly event on my stream called "Humble Mayhem" where I play all 8 games from the current month's Humble Choice gaming bundle for 30min each. For the Lady Arcaders 3 Year Anniversary Raid Train, I will be featuring "Humble Mini Mayhem!!! For Mini Mayhem, 3 games from the February Humble Choice gaming bundle will be showcased. The three games we play will also be raffled off to the community, as is tradition in Humble Mayhem, to spread the love of gaming through gaming. The games we play will be selected at random by the "Wheel of Choosing." What games will we play? You gotta tune in to find out! Will t0zzle beat the tutorial? Maybe! Will t0zzle beat the game? Probably not! Will there be mayhem? ABSOLUTELY!

Dragon Quest XI Sword of Light% (Act1) Speedrun
Dragon Quest XI is a popular JRPG that follows a hero's journey to save a fantasy world from a dark force. The protagonist, known as the Luminary, discovers his destiny to defeat an ancient evil. Joined by a diverse group of companions, he embarks on an epic adventure filled with turn-based battles, exploration, and a captivating storyline. The game features charming art style, nostalgic gameplay mechanics, and a rich, immersive world.
Beat Act 1 of the game as fast as possible. Involves meticulously managing gold to buy/sell items/equipment for the best combination to win several boss battles while being very underleveled.
Takes advantage of a major skip glitch that involves spinning the horse out of bounds to get to Yggdrasil way before you should be able to.

Cassette Beasts
I'll be showing off Cassette Beasts, one of my absolute favorite games to speedrun! I will show off the newest route of the popular Any% Seeded run, along with some other cool stuff I'm working on.

Luigi’s Mansion - PAL Version Speedruns
For the months of February and March, I’m dedicating myself to some rigorous speedrun practice for Luigi’s Mansion in preparation for SGDQ submissions. By the time the raid train rolls into my station, I’ll be warmed up and ready to play through two of the game’s most difficult categories, Any% (No OoB) [PAL] and 100% [PAL], where I’ll be aiming for top 5 times!
If there’s time left over, I might also show off some blindfolded LM gameplay, or maybe some fancy driving in F-Zero GX!

Hi! I'm Spud (they/she) — a part-time achievement hunter who accidentally became a speedrunner at some point. I make silly noises while playing games on the internet as an excuse to indulge in my many hobbies and meet some cool people along the way. I enjoy difficult, high-energy games, but also have a soft spot for story rich narratives regardless of genre. I've beaten Luigi's Mansion over 300 times, and once even blindfolded!
Quacksilver
Speedruns!
Unclear exactly what I'll be speedrunning right this second, but I want to have 5 submissions to SGDQ, so gonna send some runs of one of a couple video games as time allows! Contenders include:
- Haiku, the Robot
- Rusty's Retirement
- ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist
- Another Crab's Treasure
- Rift of the NecroDancer (not technically a speedrun but still rotating this in my mind)

Low-Strats Celeste Speedrun
Ever watch a Celeste Speedrun and think 'I could never do that'. Well, I was the same way, but we all start somewhere...Watch as I complete a run "mostly" as intended by the developer as quickly as I can, using just what I learned by getting 100% of the steam achievements. There will be lots of death but still hopefully a good time.
SporadicErratic
Daikaijuu Monogatari Casual First Play
I'll be doing a Daikajuu Monogatari first playthrough stream! I have been playing through a SNES RPG that was never licensed or released in the US. It's a lot of fun, and an awesome, silly game not a lot of folks have seen before!

I love hosting!! I first volunteered for GDQ in the summer of 2019, and it was my supreme honor to host for the finale of that event; Puwexil's run of Chrono Trigger that took the event to 3 million dollars raised for Doctors Without Borders for the first time. I want to help out with similar events to make a positive difference in the world. It helps that I love video games! I stream casually 3-4 days a week, and I enjoy playing a variety of indies.

Speedrunning with Barbie
Learning routes and practicing speedruns for one or more Barbie video games. List includes but not limited to: Barbie Fashion Pack Games, Barbie Ocean Discovery, Barbie Game Girl, and Barbie Magic Genie Adventure. All games listed are Gameboy games for that vintage/retro touch. It will be a fun, silly, and super fab showcase.
SweetPeebs
Dave & Busters Adventure! TTRPG One-Shot
Improv game with 2-3 players. Players come up with a character, as well as one item that can fit inside a backpack. This item can be super OP, or mundane. All dice rolls are random.
This is a COMEDY game, with YES AND. All suggestions are incorporated.

Link's Awakening DX Randomizer (default mode)
This is a "default" mode randomizer. Weapons, trading quest items, heart pieces, heart containers, secret seashells, and chest rupees have all been scattered throughout Koholint Island. Dungeon keys, maps, compasses, and stone beaks have been shuffled within their original dungeons (i.e. this is not a keys mode). Entrances are vanilla. I use some hard/advanced logic techniques and glitches in my runs, but the spirit of the original gameplay is still very evident. It also follows the No Wrong Warp/Out of Bounds vanilla speedrun rules.

Introduction to Cozy Building Fundamentals in Minecraft
I worked as a professional Minecraft builder for a handful of years, before *and* after the Minecraft Marketplace changed how people approach mapmaking! I think the most enjoyable part about Minecraft - in vanilla or in modded worlds - is building and constantly improving a space you want to spend time in, whatever that means for you!
My intention for this stream is to build a house from scratch on stream, covering fundamentals of color, shape, depth, and the art of thinking of blocks as their textures, not their materials!
