Hey :)

So I'm new here and willing to eventually start submitting some speedruns. Thing is, I've no idea how to record myself and stuff... I just play games, emulators etc.

I've slowly been attracted to speedrunning naturally because I often play the same games I love again and again since my first gameboy over 30 years ago. But since I was too lazy to check how to record and stuff and didn't really care about recognition, I've just assembled times to some games, near my screens of non-speedrun big results on various games, just for my own little memories ^^

Few exemple : I finished Kirby's Dream Land in 11min16s (that's exactly the 7th time here apparently !) ; FFVII HDINS (half day in no save) in 10h25min42s with a nice screen of Ultima Weapon nearly destroying my attempt ! A bunch of first places EU when racing for new seasons on Diablo 2/3 (even if it was for just a few minutes/hours ^^), a 9th World for achievements in D3.. some random times on Spyro, Zelda alttp or Castlevania SOTN where I just didn't follow any guide and am just so far behind !

I'm usually not too fond of checking how others do, nor replay some segment/full game again and again just to perform better... because then it loses a bit in fun to me. At least since it was only for myself. But if I'm trying to record and submit, it might be a motivation and I'll probably try some less known games and stuff.

Anyway, just how do I record myself, use those timers things ? Thanks in advance !
