That's right, Power Up With Pride, a charity speedrunning marathon running on Twitch and benefitting the Trevor Project, starts this Friday, June 23rd!
We did have some recent updates to the schedule, so be sure to take another look even if you've seen it before. The schedule can be found here: https://horaro.org/puwp23/schedule
The event is primarily geared toward speedrunning, but will also feature showcases of pinball, rhythm gaming, and a Broadcast Satellaview game! There are new games, old games, and every genre you can imagine.
Personally, I'm excited to be running Dungeons of Dredmor during the Friday/Saturday overnight period! I've recently been grinding and set a new world record in the Dwarven Moderation category for the run, and I'm looking forward to showing it off. It's a run where I'll be crawling through a dungeon with a cute fire-breathing dragon companion, drinking unsettling amounts of alcohol, setting things on fire, and committing acts of Heroic Vandalism. If that's not the recipe for a perfect late-night party, I don't know what is?
And that's not all - I'll also have the opportunity to host for the final runs of the marathon on Sunday night! I'll be hosting for @Kailaria and her run of Super Mario World Archipelago Randomizer - I've played this randomizer myself, I love the unique challenge it brings to this classic platformer, and I can't wait to see Kailaria show it off! Following that will be @leggystarscream bringing us Super Lesbian Animal RPG. It is a wonderful, adorable game that is described perfectly by its title, and I couldn't imagine not having this game in a Pride event. Finally, if we meet our final donation incentive for the event, I'll be sticking around a bit longer as we'll get to see a TAS demonstration of Sayonara Wild Hearts!
