Ohio, USAHi, the one that verified your run here. Just wanted to leave a comment saying that normally this is a run I would have to reject due to lack of audio and too low of a frame rate (having multiple points where the recording freezes for a significant amount of time).
I decided to let both of those slide this one time because I wanted to accept at least one of your runs, and the other two had issues I couldn't look past (one had part of the screen cut off and the other's frame rate was too low). I wanted to accept a run of yours because I can tell you genuinely do want to give speedrunning the game a shot, and I have no reason to believe you cheated at any point in this run. Also your channel name being "Pieceofchicken" made me smile. :)
Again, I'm letting it slide just this one time because I want to give everyone a chance. I hope you can figure something out for future runs, because I would hate to reject one.
Edit for clarity: I don’t mind low fps in a run. The only time low frame rate would be cause for rejecting a run is when it’s to the point where the gaps between frames are long enough that it could hide splices (like in this video). I let it slide here because I don’t believe you did splice at all.
Hey, just wanted to leave a reminder here that macros are actually not allowed in Dark Deception speedruns. Since your run isn't world record and since it isn't clear in the rules right now, I'm letting it slide this time. I'm just a verifier so I don't have the ability to edit the rules, but I did contact one of the moderators to do so and make it more clear in the future that macros aren't allowed. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Edit to the note I left: the timer starts when the level loads (during the fade in for the level name), not when the level title fades out. This is the case for any level, not just Monkey Business. I don't mind fixing it, but I just wanted to let you know for your full game runs! :)
When I did the run for Comedian%, I just counted every laugh, scripted or the laughs when they are behind you (if you watch my run I have a counter, though I did actually miss one). You don't have to complete the entire level - you can just do it and leave! Sorry for the late response.
Meme% is the joke category for each level. I believe there is also a full Meme% category that has you do the Meme% for each individual level in one continuous run.

An emulator is a program that lets you play a game off its intended platform/console. For example, Mario 64 emulators let users play the game on a computer instead of a Nintendo 64 console.
accidentally submitted my zone 2 time for this one. reject it pls <3
Joykill/Matron crashes are super common (typically regardless of settings). I'd say just wait until the major patch for them to be fixed.
