Today's the time I have created an account on TASVideos, after finally watching TAS videos for over a decade. Now is my opportunity to actually make my own ones... I watched TAS videos since 2011, starting with this classic SM64 16-star run (https://youtu.be/82TSWzOsPYc), when I was just 6 years old (yes, I had some knowledge of accessing the web on a PC). Nowadays I am almost 17.5, but I just realized I forgot that I'm also meant to submit a TAS for once. In fact, why shouldn't I do so to show how much I actually enjoy them in the first place? After all it has been my dream, ever since my childhood, and I know it will come true in the near future. However I'm not here to try to break any record (because it's right now difficult for me and there are always many talented TAS makers anyway). My goal here for now is to share runs of more obscure games that little to no people desire trying to make one of, and that way I can at least make a plenty of useful TASes. I would also like to use TAS just for playarounds rather than speedrunning. There's also nothing to worry about it; yesterday, after seeing only a few guides, I managed to make one of Donkey Kong on NES quickly. Keep in mind that I am a computer scientist :] Before you do talk to me, please remember that I am autistic and severely anxious. I just want to make sure I don't cause arguments with anyone, and I will try my best to behave here. Thank you for reading, have a nice day <3

It's alright. TASing is used for various things. Someone does it for records, someone does it for fun and joy. I've made a lot of Doom TASes, but none of them was submitted here.

Great work! Most people here are self-learners, but the guides on YouTube are really useful. They're often underestimated.

People have complexes. It's completely fine. Right now you're doing well by talking to us. It will make you feel less awkward in such situations. When I met this community, I ruined my shyness by submitting a long TAS and it was rejected due to being unoptimized. Even though I was very upset with the result, eventually people told me what I was doing wrong and helped me making TASes better. Have a nice journey =)
TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.
