Games Done Quick (GDQ) is a series of bi-annual charity speedrun marathons that have become a cornerstone of gaming culture since 2010. While the events raise millions for causes like the Prevent Cancer Foundation, they have birthed a distinct language of memes. Most notable is the 'Save the Animals vs. Kill the Animals' incentive during Super Metroid, which turns donation goals into a moral battleground. GDQ memes often highlight the absurdity of 'frame-perfect' glitches, the awkwardness of live donation shout-outs, and the incredible skill of runners who can beat entire games in the time it takes most people to finish breakfast. It serves as a celebration of both technical mastery and community-driven philanthropy.
