Hello everyone, i have been watching speedruns for a while and watching a few videos very casually, i would like to try the ffx nemesis speedrun and wanted to stream it. The things i would like to know are basically everything, any tips from people who have done it before, when do i start the timer, how do i get the twitch overlay, what cutscenes count, how you guys personally go about staying awake, eating etc. literally everything, i know its alot to ask but i would really appreciate it thankyou :D
you probably want to ask there first, although I'm sure there's some people who can give you advice on how to stay awake in longer runs.
I for one just drink stupid amounts of coke / coffee.
1.) Need a capture card to get PS2 gameplay onto a computer. 2.) Download OBS (Open Broadcast Studio). 3.) Read the rules for the game and category to known when to start the timer. (Timer people use mostly is called LiveSplits). 4.) I don't play 22 hour long runs, so I have no idea how people don't die in the process. 5.) Game specific questions are best asked on the forum specific to the game (as most people he see this have never played, and the people who do play likely won't see it).
Ultimately, you'll probably want to watch a YT tutorial for how best to set up your overlay and such, but having a capture card is first.
By the way, I'm assuming you are talking about playing it on a PS2, as opposed to the computer version. If you are playing the computer version, just skip step one.
