start with any% to learn movement and routes then do other categories
So if you want a short category, I would go with Nipple%. I started with it and it is a great jumping off point movement and time wise. Any% is always a good call because it's the biggest category and you can get used to running the game and the movement. World peace should probably be done after any% once you have some experience with the game. You don't have to listen to me at all but that's my advice.
1st run always any% then get everything you want and decide what you like the most at that moment
I just started off with any%, it's super fun and there's a lot of things to work on. I suggest starting with any% then moving on to other categories.
I'd start off with any% personally. That's what I did. Any% can help a lot to learn movement and routes, and just get familiar with the game in general. Then move on to other categories.
any% is immensely helpful with getting used to the game, as other categories can be quite a bit more daunting for beginners to start off with. however, don't get any% tunnelvision - it's great that you're aware that there are plenty of other options for categories out there. try multiple categories and run whatever you enjoy the most, but be aware that starting with any% can greatly improve your experience with longer categories.
Thanks for everyones help! Looking at the replies I'm going to start with any%.
also I definitely recommend joining the discord server as there are many people willing to answer your questions and help you improve your runs.
