Quick Take
In a world where everything is becoming increasingly ugly and unhospitable, its nice to see that there's still events like this being held that are helping people in need. Every dollar helps, and sometimes it's nice to forget about the world and watch a speedrunning event for a few hours. Even in a charity speedruns, the stakes can be quite high for those that have poured hundreds or even thousands of hours into their runs, which require good planning and flawless execution.
