Hello Speedrunners, hoping to enter the community.

Hi, i have no experience with speedrunning, but after watching some speedruns from AGDQ and more i got inspired and felt the need to start.

It's just amazing seeing people destroy or complete games pretty fast, that being said, i won't be trying for World Records or anything, just think that speedrunning could be fun and a good way to get more out of a game.

Sadly, i only have a PC so any runs i try in the future will be based on that, thinking on trying runs on platformers and metroidvanias, at the moment i am considering starting speedrunning with Celeste, as it's a recent game that i have been enjoying a lot.

Either that or something like Slime-San or Rabi-Ribi, i dunno, the idea of speedrunning a RPG is not that great to me as they take quite a few hours, same with many other long games, maybe later on in the future.

Oh nice x3 well some games allow emulators too so you may not be so restricted to pc games :) I hope the run goes well :3

Yeah, but from what i understand, emulators aren't taken as seriously as the original console because they change some things, to the point that they are their own category.

Besides, PC has many games already, many of which don't even seem to have big communities, and as a guy that likes to be slightly contrarian, the idea of speedrunning an indie game like Castle Of Darkness, Broforce or Iconoclasts over becoming another person speedrunning Mario 64 or Ocarina Of Time appeals to me.

There are smaller console games and some communities do accept emulators but I get you :D pc is good for variety won't ever run out of anything to run :3 easy to record too
