sizzyls FAQ here is good but the problem is quickly sharing it isnt "easy". the url is really long to type out and contains the thread id "pt010" which youd have to remember so I quickly whipped out a google doc, wrote some questions that came to my mind(also has some basic stuff about recording) and embedded it on my site.

should be easier to link to someone who might need it. https://siontea.com/srcfaq

if you want to add/edit something on it then dm me and ill give you edit permissions on the doc

there really should be some way of forcing new people to read everything in the knowledge base and going through all the settings before allowing them to post on the forums. actually idea: force everyone to record a video of them reading out loud the entire knowledge base to get posting perms. that made me quickly go through the knowledge base and it seems outdated too (: https://www.speedrun.com/knowledgebase/navigating-a-game-page specifically tells you how to navigate the old layout where the forums, guides and all that was on the left of the boards and there is no explanation on how to submit runs (which would surprisingly be needed as there have been multiple threads asking how to do this)

dont think dropbox has any video player so the mods would have to download the video to watch it. some will reject your run for that. just put your videos on youtube

Nuuskis

sure ill go check your run on world war II

the oldest speedrun i remember watching was the dk64 any% run at gdq in 2013/2014 then in 2016 i tried out running sm64 16 star though i dont remember what made me do it. speedrunning was cool but 16 star is a bad category so i went through multiple games trying to find the one for me

gv-usb2 or literally anything that supports composite or s-video

yes. but everyone would highly recommend you go download OBS instead, its free and has no limitations

note that you dont need to submit your runs to the boards to speedrun. if breaks arent allowed in your game then screw it run anyway

time to ban the staff for not having runs in their profiles

ive never heard anyone say that. people who do time trials (at least in the mk community) mostly call themselves "time trialers" instead of speedrunners but the time trialing is definetly speedrunning. as speedrunning is: "complete a task in a video game with the intent to be as fast as possible" and time trialing is literally that. you try to complete the time trial as fast as possible thus its speedrunning but since the community is somewhat different to the "actual speedrunning" community its safer to say time trialing is a subgenre of speedrunning

what kind of bots are these

ive just ran what ive felt like and for how long ive felt like. though id say ape escape has "always" been my main game series which ive been running since 2018 but i started running in 2016 with sm64 16 stars but realized how bad that category is

this guy really needs a ban

wonder when theyll think of a proper reason for people to think about getting supporter
