Hi, I'm new here so I Tougth of leaving an introducion here. I'm 19 years old guy and I have watched both Speedruns and TAS for a fairly long time. Also, watching a specific speedrun group (Not saying name cause I'm not sure if it's counted as adversiting) got me into making speedruns too (Currently planning/practicing a run). I have few games on the list right now that I want to TAS/Speedrun. If you have something to ask, feel free to leave it. It can be something about me or about the games I'm going to TAS or Speedrun.

Hi, welcome! Curious to see what games you are thinking of TASing. My advice is to TAS what you want to TAS, and not to worry if other posters say "that's too hard for a beginner". My other advice is to stop TASing for a few days or move onto a different TAS if you aren't enjoying the process.

Why does everyone start a new topic about himself?..

I think it's a habit for some people when they go to forums to go to the Introduction section and say hello to everyone. I always found it as a way to get my post count up (when I was a kid looking to get imaginary points in everything), nowadays its meh.

Why, what's wrong with it? (If you don't want to read about newbies, you can just not look at anything in the Newbie Corner - that's what it's here for)

I have nothing against it, but many other forums disallow it as it leads to tons of useless discussion threads. Will you remember those some years later? Usually there is one single thread for newcomers :)

I think it's nice when new users introduce themselves here. TASing is a demanding, time consuming, and often fairly solitary pursuit. The feeling of contributing to a community of people who care about your work is a big part of how some people are motivated to actually complete TASes, and a warm welcome in an introduction post is a great way to start that process. On the other hand, if the first thing we do is make a new user feel like they have made a mistake or are unwelcome, we stand to lose out on a productive contributor, and that's sad for everyone involved. Even if the user's first post doesn't seem very promising, it's worth our time to welcome them anyway - we have many amazing TASers who arrived here young & inexperienced once upon a time. If you really think site policy on this should be improved, then as thatguy suggested, the Sites subforum (or maybe irc) is the appropriate place to bring it up. I'd kindly ask you not to do it in threads like this one :) -- Welcome aboard, Baka94! I think it is fine for you to mention your speedgaming group and works in progress here, as long as you're not spamming it repeatedly or aggressively trying to recruit people. Have you tried out TASing on the platforms you're interested in yet? I would recommend downloading the tools and just playing around a bit, setting yourself small goals or doing little research projects in the game or games you care about, before you jump in to trying to make a complete TAS. But everyone learns differently, so don't listen to me if you don't want to!

Sorry for the late answer, but I didn't say I was a part of speedrun group. I meant that I watched that group's videos and they got me interested in speedrunning. I'm doing speedruns on my own and there's no groups etc involved (At least not yet. Who knows if I later join a speedrun group, but I'm just not good enough yet). That's corrected now :P
