Posted this in the games thread but I think it's relevant here.

H.Bomberguy, aka Harry Brewis, streamed Nintendo 64 game Donkey Kong 64 on and off for more than 57 hours this weekend. He did so to raise money for U.K.-based charity Mermaids, an organization that offers support for transgender children, teenagers, and their families. What started off as an endeavor to “spite” an Irish comedian who opposes the charity organization has turned into a wild, surprising success; Brewis raised more than $340,000, and his stream featured cameo appearances from Doom co-creator John Romero, activist Chelsea Manning, and U.S. congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
