Some catrgories are just too long to complete so ive seen some rules put in place that allow for the runner to take a break in the middle of the run. What games have you seen with these breaks? About how long of a typical run do you think warrants a break rule?

Is there a way to setup livesplit to create a video file or something like that for a run that has already been completed to be edited into the video of the run? Essentially allowing me to frame perfectly make my splits on a video file.

Since DS games have two screens for gameplay, I've seen most people create a layout like this: https://ibb.co/YBKN65d Where there is one dominant screen that shows the most important part of the gameplay and the second screen being smaller off to the side. Typically this is all that is needed since usually DS games really only utilize 1 screen for gameplay on the other for menu options and such. However some games swap between which screen would be the dominant one through the run, which if the layout is not changed, the important gameplay will be shown on the smaller screen. So my question is this: If you were a mod for a DS game, would you accept a run that during the recording swapped which was the dominant screen in the layout some number of times during the run? What would be your concerns if doing so either way?

I'm interested in doing some long speedruns, but I would like to have on my second monitor something like a power point presentation with information about my route that I can switch slides even when the program doesnt have focus like livesplit does. Even better if I could map this to a gamepad key.

Are there preferable settings to apply before the run? What is good to know before doing this run?

I have a few IRL friends with accounts here and would like to be notified when they submit a new run, would a follow user button become available in the future, similar to how we can follow games atm?
