've fiddled around with the strat for a bit, but every time i hit the magical buttons (whether on virtual machine or not), there's always a brief bit of chugma that occurs as the screen resizes itself, and i can't seem to get the strat working with the same level of speed that's displayed in the most recent 100% WR by mr spong bong, as there's always a couple extra seconds lost each time in comparison. to anyone else who's fiddled around with this technique, could you spare a tip or two, mayhaps? 'd love to go for the record in the category, but having this arbitrary disadvantage seems a bit unfair

A day ago i made my first game request, but forgot to read the site rules. Earlier today it was rejected because of the rule in relation to how requests work for games in specific series. I then went to contact the series moderator, only after realizing that you can't view past requests once they've been rejected. Because of that, the message i sent to the series moderator was a version of my request done to the best of my memory, and i'm worried that it's less likely to be accepted now because i might have forgotten key details. I don't know why there doesn't seem to be anything on this site to let me view a game request after its rejection, and if anyone knows the reason, let me know.

Currently for recording method i'm using Microsoft Game Capture, the built-in recording function on windows 10. It's the only software i have that produces somewhat acceptable results (and doesn't make the game run at any lower speed). The one problem with it is that, the longer the recording, the more the audio becomes increasingly more de-synced. At around the 30 minute mark is when it becomes intolerably noticeable, and around the 1 hour mark the audio is de-synced by almost 10 seconds. I have two questions about this, and you can answer either one. Question one: how acceptable is it to upload a run with the audio de-sync in it? And question two, which i would like the answer to even more: is there a method i can use to fix this through editing/post-processing?

I just joined this site a few days ago because i wanted to speedrun some PC games i have, but i've run into a problem. All the runs i've recorded so far were done with the built-in 'Microsoft Game Capture', which has a major limitation of only recording one window at a time. I've tried OBS and XSplit, but both seem to affect the game's running speed noticeably more than Microsoft Game Capture. I have a screenshot of the final timer for each run saved in image form (livesplit btw), and my main question here is this: Is it okay for me to submit a run that shows only gameplay, until the end of the run in which i show the livesplit screenshot of the final time?
