Hey Marcus, welcome to the community! In terms of general tips, I suggest you at least skim through these forum posts: https://www.speedrun.com/streaming_recording_equipment/thread/qlnmy https://www.speedrun.com/the_site/thread/pgxyw

You can see useful resources here: https://www.speedrun.com/resources

If you have any questions, the community is generally glad to help. If its a game-specific question you can ask it in their forum, or their discord or they have 1.

(And though this is more subjective, some etiquette suggestions):

-Don't complain about your run taking a while to verify. The mods have lives. -Don't ask to be a moderator for a speedrun leaderboard. It's generally annoying if they don't need one. -Don't cheat, obviously. -Don't necro threads.
