I am new to speedrunning. I would love if some people could help me out on what game to start speedrunning with. I have a Nintendo switch but I do not know how to record or to put the timer thing on the side. I would really love some help thanks!
This guide is a pretty good starting point: https://www.speedrun.com/streaming_recording_equipment/thread/qlnmy
I'd recommend reading through that as it will probably answer a lot of your questions. If you have additional questions after reading that, feel free to ask them and I'm sure someone will be happy to help further.
The advice I give everytime is to speedrun a game that you love. It's not an obligation, but I think it helps getting the determination to start training and not getting bored of the game too quickly. I think it's weird to buy a game only to speedrun it for example, even though some don't. I think speedrunning should be an expansion of your experience with a game, like if there's a game you played so many times you don't have anything left to do with it but you love it anyway, try to run it! It will most certainly bring you a bunch of new sensations and even some you had when you played it for the first time, cause speedrunning is a completely different gaming experience than casual playthroughs. It's a great way to find new potential to a game you thought you were done with.
Well that's how I do it at least :)
