GDQ’s Flame Fatales, a speedrunning event for women and non-binary people, wrapped up on August 20, 2023, with a total of $110,835 raised for the Malala Fund. The event was held online and featured over 60 runs of video games, including Stardew Valley, Tears of the Kingdom, and Pokemon Scarlet/Violet.
