Well I was definitely harmed xD but I've done this all my life, the horrible claw grip I had to do for dark souls ruined me tho... now I take a break every 30 minutes or only play 2 hours max

I always loved watching speedrunning vidoes, then one day I googled, dark souls speedrun world record and it popped up I believe, I might be remembering wrong tho

From the anime parasyte the maximum migi is the name of the alien, and 1258 is just my fav numbers, my other username I also got from anime...odd cuz I havent seen anime since i was a teenager but I just kept the names

Dark souls would be the game I play the most, it teaches me to never give up no matter how hopeless or how many times you are defeated, a message I've always needed. But if I had to pick something else, xenoblade series brought back my love for video games when I had lost it

My name is sonia, I'm 26 and got into finally FINALLY trying speedrunning which I've been following since I was a child. First game I challenged myself to do was dark souls, sadly for me, I had no idea it required so many imputs to glitch, that it would end up hurting my hand, BADLY. Even basic task are so painful, I reseted for a couple of days and its getting better, I managed to get my goal of under an hour. But PLEASE IF YOU'RE NEW, TAKE CARE OF YOUR HANDS. I've been playing games since I can remember but speedrunning will destroy them if you don't take breaks inbetween (I ran 8-12 hours a day with zero breaks) Now I can only do one or two runs before I can't anymore. I have been doing simple games while my hand heals, that dont require much. So i can still run, but srsly PLS BE CAREFUL. I wish someone told me this before hand, no pun intended.

Glad to be here tho, I'm happy I finally managed to make it.

would run it too....and get destroyed

not an expert but here is what helped me get started. (I havent submitted my run yet, but I went from 3hours down to under 50min following these)
