The livestreamed event via Twitch featured the best speedrunners. In one of the many events, speedrunner Mitchriz completed Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice while blindfolded in just over two hours.

On Twitter, AGDQ shared a video about ¡Celebremos la Vida! (Let’s Celebrate Life!), a program of the Spanish Catholic Center in Washington, DC, that provides education and screening to underserved Hispanic women 40 and over.

As #AGDQ2022 climbs in donations, we'd like to show how your money benefits @preventcancer and the programs they help fund.
