Hey everyone!

I go by R4NG3 and I’ve been speedrunning the KOTOR games for 6 years now. This is the first sub 17 minute speedrun of Any% Unrestricted! I hope some of you enjoy watching it.

If you are interested in how the speedrun works, esteemed Jedi Lane scripted and edited a video explaining the nuts and bolts of every tricks we do. Here’s a link to that: https://youtu.be/Y3pks1Va2S0?is=08oIeByflueoEjCn

If you were ever interested in learning the speedruns or maybe just some of the tricks: check out our community GitHub page: https://kotor-speedruns.github.io

Thank you and may the force be with you.

if you haven't seen mcsr ranked, it's 1v1 matchmaking for minecraft 1.16 any%. both players load the same random seed at the same moment, and the race ends at the first dragon kill.

this one is v_strid and silverrruns. the lead changed hands three times before the stronghold, and the two dragons died 58 milliseconds apart.

i put both twitch povs side by side, lined up on the match countdown, with a split timer in the middle that reads every split from the ranked api. it's the full match, nothing cut:

it's my channel, so yes this is self-promo. the footage is from their streams, twitch.tv/vstrid and twitch.tv/silverrruns.

Got this later the same day I got the All Levels run that I posted recently, so I wanted to space them out a little bit...

100% is sadly very restrictive with the skips you can do due to the fact that you have to collect certain collectibles spread out throughout each of the levels, which means it's not as flashy as All Levels (other than Secret Swim, which is arguably even flashier), and also the last level turns from a very simple boss fight to a massive RNG-fest, but it's still a great run nonetheless imo :')

I beat my previous record! This time no audio glitch and alot of interesting close calls. Should be a good watch if you're into RPG speedrunning!

I been playing WSR since I was a toddler (now 16) and recently got into the blindfolded speedrun community and decided to go for WSR 18 hole golf blindfolded WR and after a few days of practice and runs, I got it! It’s the first ever speedrun WR I hold and I also recently got he OG wii sports golf blindfolded WR

Hey everyone! I'm planning on hosting a speedrunning competition and was wondering what makes entering a competition enticing, as well as what information competitors should know before entering.

It's something I've never done before, and these are the only things I know so far:

• Make the rules and submission requirements clear
• Detail the prize for the winner
• Give people enough time to attempt and submit

Any and all feedback is helpful! Especially where the best places to share the event would be. Thank you.

Hey everyone!

I recently got a job, and I'm starting to wonder how I'm going to balance working with grinding speedruns.

Before getting a job, I could probably spend more time practicing, learning new strategies, resetting runs, and going for PBs. But now that I have work to worry about, I'm not sure how to manage my time effectively.

Speedrunning already requires a lot of practice, and sometimes you can spend hours grinding without getting a single good run. After a long day at work, finding the energy and motivation to keep practicing might be another challenge.

For those of you who have jobs and still actively speedrun, I'd love to hear your advice!

• How many hours do you usually spend speedrunning per day or per week?
• Do you practice after work or save most of your grinding for the weekends?
• How do you stay consistent when you have limited time to play?
• How do you deal with resets and bad runs when you're already tired from work?
• Do you focus on one game and category at a time, or do you switch between multiple games?
• How do you balance going for PBs with work, sleep, and your personal life?

I'm still interested in improving my times and getting more PBs, but I also want to find a sustainable routine that doesn't leave me exhausted.

I'd especially love to hear from speedrunners who started working recently and had to adjust their practice schedules.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Sorry if it's a stupid question, I always liked speedruns, but never was part of the community. And the question is more about challenge run than a speedrun, but I don't know where else I could ask this.

Right now I want to do a one-life run of a horror game that I like, but it lasts for about 10-12 hours and I realistically can only afford 4-5 hour play sessions at most, so I have to save and quit at some point, once or twice. Is there are way to still prove that run was legitimate? How do speedrunners deal with runs like this for long games? Or is it impossible and they always just grind the full session?

Edit: Thanks everyone for explaining things to me. While it looks like there's no magic pill I was looking for, I still learned a lot of new stuff today :)
