While my android came with a very functional screen recorder, it's built in timer is not so useful. And after blindly searching the Play Store, I figure I'd just ask the forums if anyone would recommend a timer app for Android devices?

My runs have forgot the same bit from time to time, yet all my uploads get rejected for not being submitted to the appropriate genre (even tho I have no clue what "appropriate genre" means if what I put was wrong.

No disrespect to anyone but... I would definitely appreciate it if mods would be a little more elaborate on things like that. You basically told me I put something in a spot I thought it went but you cackled and spat it back at me telling me to think about it harder if that's the best I thought..... You say WRONG! but don't tell us where the rejected content should go if it were your own submission that got rejected. Get my meaning by that?

Seems like whenever I do this, it's for a potential video that would have easily broken a top record.

Was it because I forgot to click Record or was it just because I couldn't get anything else on my mind, or was it because I seem to do my best when not recording usually.... IDK but it happens to me all the time these days. So now I tend to start pre-recording around 10-30 seconds before I start the gameplay, then I just go edit after I finish so that segment at the intro and at the end of the clip is gone but up to what and when the video needs to include, without corrupting the core of the recording which is the middle part long after the intro and end segments.

The problem for me doing it like this however is the videos can't ever get verified even if they obey all rules to upload carefully. And they are declined because of one repeating excuse being I need to title or word the description correctly (whatever that entails I guess... I am very careful about how I word things like the titles and descriptions. Idk what exactly the people that verify uploads expect from my videos but for now all my uploads are going to continue being mobile games bc of my hardships irl these days still. That said, I obviously wouldn't even consider the idea of making it even harder on myself doing something more difficult than I was doing already or could have been doing. (But I still don't know wtf I should do about my uploads to come)

I wanna make sure, this is in fact the leaderboard for Doom for Android, right? "Unity Ports" (...because the android version doesnt mention unity anywhere)? The site is awfully glitchy and I'm only seeing a single record placed which was for Any% episode 1 e1m1 -> e1m8

Also been meaning to ask, is it normal for severe lag for doom on android if the storage is pretty much full? I been playing under such conditions lately and for the most part the game runs fine until I complete all 8 maps of episode 1 and try to play the episode over again immediately after. So severe that in the later maps of episode 1, the controls will literally get mixed up; the right half of the screen often merges with the left half making moving and turning one joystick. Surely this is due to my phones storage being full right?

@TwoFoxSix I tried quickloading without a save present after first installing DOOM on my android but it didn't give me the option until I did a save or quicksave, THEN it gave the option... also nothing seems to happen if I attempt to load a save for a wrong add on

@THiEF_HD209 ah I remember that now. ...wasn't the menu also technically there during gameplay, just hidden?

What's with the audio? That repeating beat of the action button is far too perfect to have been done by a human hand....?

I only suggested PS1 only as it was what my dad an I played on. I suppose it wouldn't need to be exclusive to it now that you mention it. That's also why I called it a "CHALLENGE" because we considered it a challenge playing back in the mid 90s only on Playstation 1. Plus it took us several days the first time we did it...but really the two of us found it rather challenging since in the 90s we didn't know how to glitch or bypass climbing or jumps back then, like so many know of how it works now. It's just how him and I did the "challenge" those days. It was different and difficult back then. Also, we found it a bit irritating too but not so bad if we let each other play when we failed and had to restart the level.

...sadly my dad passed away in 2020 and the anniversary made me think of it. I thought it might be appealing to people who are getting a bit bored or frustrated playing on PS1 for a better score, and may wanna try something different but not necessarily a different game or platform. But ya I don't see any reason to restrict it to the PS1 other than my own personal reasons I've mentioned.

I would like to submit my own video of my attempt these days but I can't get the disc drive fixed on my PS1 console. Im still trying to get it to work again... which makes me wonder, having to replace something like a disc drive on such a platform wouldn't mean I can't submit a score, right?

I want to suggest a new category for the 1990s Tomb Raider 1 & 2 for the PlayStation (1) since these were the first games I ever played as a kid. My dad and I finally beat the game back then and restarted the game afterwards with a personal challenge since we played side by side. RULES AS FOLLOWS:

•LARA MUST HANDSTAND EVERY CHANCE SHE HAS, OR TREAT IT AS IF SHES BEEN KILLED. •No Glitching. •Video required. •Deaths = Current level restart. No Loading last saves. Timer doesn't stop if a restart is needed. •Handstands must be done whenever she must climb up from something. Whenever possible. If you can bypass grabs, it is acceptable. But if not, you MUST HANDSTAND, or die! •If Lara dies because she didn't handstand, and you have a friend (in person) on stream with you, it's acceptable to swap players during the level restart BUT the timer and the video must continue recording everything, or it's not to be considered valid. (Single player or Co-Op, optional naturally).

I did complete the challenge long ago before knowing about records like this. Back then it was for fun. Took several hours.but was fun and definitely challenging for the two of us.

Hey fellow gamers. Im CERB47Actual (just CERB is fine). Been playing games since '97 and currently taking a break while the industry figures itself out, til then I play on mobile. I specialize in finding problems with level designs; bugs, glitches, crashes, that sorta stuff. Its kind of an obsession ever since HALO Combat Evolved (2001).

I'm here to observe & assist verifying submissions if needed. As I said, glitches are somewhat an obsession for me so if you need some help finding or confirming faster routes using map issues or physics, I would love to assist. I do know some issues in HALO 1 & 2

• Battlefield 1 maps I'm pretty confident not many speedrunners, if anyone at all is even aware of. Many are probably just amusing to use but perhaps some runners may find uses for them...

Also for noting, I have an unconfirmed & unrecorded world record on BF1 for the furthest successful headshot on Sinai Desert(total map length; end to end); its long forgotten at this point, but I can do it again if ever someone wants to see & confirm it. As far as I know it still stands today (2022).

Anyway, Looking forward to assisting. "Wake me, when you need me..." ~CERB 4-7 Actual
