a few days ago I noticed my name has the color gradient, which while looks good is only exclusive to people who have donated to the website. at least, that's that I thought. however, I never donated to src (no offense lol) yet I still have access to that feature. is it just a bug/mistake? I was curious to know why it happened

I don't know how good I am going to get at speedrunning, but I am very interesred in doing it. I think I might get a capture card at some point but don't know if it's worth it just yet, for starting out.

I know for super mario odyssey, using a camera/mobile to record the screen on video should be fine, but how common is it for other games? should I be fine with that temporary solution?
