I know a lot of folks don't realize this, but AGDQ and SGDQ are not the only times of year that GDQ is live!

We have a TON of speedrun shows nearly every day through the GDQ Hotfix Programming, where you get to see a whole slew of talent and games that don't always get to be on mainline!

Hey, I worked on this! VGHF supplied some rare archival materials for this collection, like this flyer for the original Atari Jaguar release (from the Game Informer press materials collection)

I enjoy DC 1, but I find DC 2 to be more enjoyable. Definitely a little less "What if Resident Evil but Dinosaurs?" and you can see a *little* of the run & gun action DNA that passed on into the original RE4 imo. Glad you're giving these games a shot!

HOLY FUCK THERES A NEW GAME COMING?!

AND A DEFIANCE REMASTER????

Yeah! Ryan and I originally met through PAX East 2012 at the Puzzle Bobble tournaments they hold every year and we've been friends since! I was genuinely honored he commissioned me for the work!
February 13, 2026 at 4:13 AM
A surprising amount of us, I'm sure!

Ryan's a great friend and I'm thrilled he let me do the work on it. I have a whole thread on Cara when I thought I'd actually stick to that platform (I didn't lol) talking about the art and the backstory behind it.

I DID THE PLAYFIELD ART FOR THAT!

My friend Ryan was the designer of the game and had me do the art for the playfield. His homebrew is super fun!

Also GG on getting started with 3D Blast! It was my main speedgame for a couple years and I had a lot of fun with it!

I'm still open to submissions for the game, as the puzzle showcase will be in April! I'll be looking more closely at runs that people have sent in around mid-march or so!

While cancelling Nitro is all well and good, just a reminder that age verification itself won't go away as a whole unless KOSA, the SCREEN Act, and tons more are buried and done with.

Please contact your reps if you don't want this to spread to other platforms.

Trying again tomorrow. Gonna do grocery shopping tonight instead. My brain can handle that.

I wish I didn't have to fast for bloodwork.

I wish I wasn't so easily stressed out by medical stuff. Or like...anything, really.

I wanted to get this stupid bloodwork out of the way today and of course my brain decided to subject me to very traumatic and stressful nightmares.

Do I try again tomorrow? Do I do it anyways despite my mental already being tanked?

For context, I get extremely stressed out in medical facilities.

Nested scenes are my bread and butter in overlay design and it never occurred to me that people don't know about it.

Yes! Entire scenes as sources is a thing in OBS and it's extremely useful when designing something modular!
I learned you can add scenes as sources in OBS, so you can set up a scene for something like a chat connected to a webcam and background, then import that scene into other scenes to keep that webcam and chat altogether as one group. It makes it really convenient to add commonly used sources.

I always love archival projects, and I think this is awesome!

Hotfix archival would be a task all it's own, so I don't blame you for not taking that on. Maybe someone will take that on someday!

Hey y'all.

A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews.

Imma grab this up myself anyway, but can we all be some chums and help push the racists out of the reviews? 🙂
