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!

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.

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).

5:00am EST @ Sat Feb 15th

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...

BeamQueenSol

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Arrya

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!

SporadicErratic

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.

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.

darthplagal

I'm in my late thirties and have been playing games since my family got an NES when I was five. I enjoy JRPGs, randomizers, puzzle and detective games, and all forms of video game music.

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!
