So when I first saw speedruns of my favorite games, "wow this is pretty epic" so then I created a speedrun dot com account. I have a few days planned to speedrun. Just for fun (sure I'll play for the competition, but I don't really care if a get "the most optimized route" or a world record. cough cough which I'm probably never getting cough cough)

Welcome. Best thing to do is complete your favourite game. Then you have a PB.

Then keep trying to beat your PB, either by a second, or more!

If you still enjoy it, keep going. One day you may have WR. But it is easier to try to beat yourself every day than to beat the WR on day one.

What game are you playing?
