I used to play Minesweeper a lot back in the day (my mid 20s) when I was only working part time. I'm 36 now. I have two saved screenshots of my two best times for Expert. This was all the way back in 2011 (almost a decade exactly from the date of this post). There was no streaming or capture back then obviously, but I was proud of it so this was all I had. Can I submit these screenshots of my old ass times? They aren't anywhere near the top times, but they would be my first official speedrun.com submissions and would put me tied at 50th and 65th respectively and I only just got into watching speedrunning in the past year or so.
I do have some corroborating (although I will agree it is circumstantial) evidence within the screenshots it was done in 2011. The number of games I played was over 12K for the 113s time. I had only 250 wins at that point. For the 108s time (which was done a couple of weeks later) I had over 13K games with only 13 additional wins This was done on a PC running Windows Vista. This info is in the screenshots. Also, the icons on my desktop contain AOL Messenger and Yahoo Messenger. But if that’s not enough, that’s still okay. It was fun putting in the attempts back then and checking to see how they compare to today.
