I want to try to buy one that's not too expensive, since money is always limited for my family.

After all, leveling up with her skills will be useful exp to give to permanent characters.

I plan on doing a segmented speedrun of a game soon and wonder how you use Livesplit. Do you simply just save what you have and open the splits up and continue from the time you previously left off?

Well, the rules don't seem to specify RTA. And FF9 states that segmented runs are fine. So It seems fine for the others, especially 7 and 8 to do segment runs.

It says consoles allowed are PS1 and PS2, but it doesn't say Emulator. It also doesn't mention that it's banned are anything else. FF8 says emulator is allowed, but won't complete WR. So what does this mean?

So I would speedrun games like Final Fantasy, but that might require me to move, which should hopefully happen early next year. Problem is my dad and I live in the same room because we live in our's sister's house and he tends to watch the TV which my laptop mic picks up. Is there a possible way or setting to get rid of of TV background noise? Plus I what I understand is that speedruns as long as 12 hours are done in one sitting, so what should I do to prepare myself for a very long speedrun? Or can I do segmented speedruns for games that take an average of 8+ hours? I know it's pretty much worthless for Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories considering it's gameplay and average hours being 3-4.

And what are some games that are finished in an average speedrun of 3-4 hours?

Is it fine for viewers? And if I stream a bitrate that is above 360p, but the stream remais 360p, what does that mean? And I ask this about both emulators and consoles.

So here's the deal. I lost connection while I was testing my stream. I run my streams on an emulator on my laptop with OBS Studio and my Internet connection runs on Wi-Fi. Then I started my stream and was streaming smoothly until 20 minutes and my kbs went from 500-700 straight down to 0 and continued varying from 0-30. I don't think my bitrate is the problem as I can stream fine without lagging with it, even when someone's watching TV with Wi-Fi. I have 12 GB RAM on my laptop. So can someone tell me if something is interfering with my stream?

Last night, I was streaming Xenogears and it was smooth until the frame rate dropped low enough. Can frame rate option in OBS help with this as well?

The time is continuing to go up as If I was streaming. I don't know why this is happening, but I have definitely checked that I stopped streaming and recording on OBS. Anyone know something about this?

I have no idea what to stream. I tend to go view Ic3lion and Cordellium most of the time.

I know speedrunning has many emulators banned for unfair advantages or slow speed, but I was wandering if a normal playthrough such as blind or casual allows emulators?

Can anyone give me a comprehensive list of notable video game developers? All I know is that are too many that have only made one game and others that have made many. I was thinking by revenue or games.

For example, I looked at Spyro The Dragon runs and saw that some EPSXE versions are allowed and others are not. Is this because some emulators give unfair advantages and others don't? Does it have something to do with the speed?

I'm thinking that I may stream games on consoles in the future. Which is best to use?

I can only stream using emulators on my laptop, and I don't have a capture card or capture device. Only console I have are the Playstations and my dad doesn't want me to spend my money on buying this recording stuff or new consoles. Problem with trying to stream or better yet, speedrun, is that I have no surface such as a table to set the laptop on as my dad's computer is on the table and there's not enough space for another table because we have so much stuff in our room (we had to move into my sister's house). On my bed in the only way I can use my laptop, but it places me in an uncomfortable position as I have nothing to set it on but my legs and I can't properly stand it up. This seriously affects my judgement of streaming, especially if I'm trying to speedrun. Any suggestions? I suppose I could try to get some kind of table and see If it fits in a tight corner next to the door.
