/vr/ - Retro Games

Hi there /vr/.
I'm looking to start practicing speedruns for quake 1. I've been looking up ways to start and along the way I've been seeing people saying this engine is better and this engine is better and blah blah blah, but I get a feeling that you guys can probably come to a solid conclusion. I'm currently using a torrented darkplaces port, but if there is an optimal version for speedrunning that I could buy (or mod later for speedrunning) I would be more than happy to.
I'm also not so sure where to look for strats other than YT runs and demos (which I have no idea where to find). Is there anything else i should know as well (like proper movement tutorials)?
Also would it be better to talk about this here or in /srg/?
