And it made one-eighth the difference.
Do these look fine? Are they too large, either in width or file size? Anything obvious I'm forgetting?

Thanks for the feedback! Hope to have something this weekend, but it may be awhile since I'm busier and more exhausted than usual.

Also, everyone join the Discord as it's cool and good and full of cool and good people.

I wonder how you spell Tabasco.
Getting ready to do more stuff for my Sly Cooper LP. How long until a thread gets archived? I haven't posted since March 20th. Doesn't look like I'll be able to record until May 5th...

2 months, assuming the archiving process hasn't changed.

If you're concerned, give it a bump. I don't mind people bumping a thread to keep it out of archives if it's your LP or some sort of megathread or whatever, just as long as you don't get carried away bumping a thread that hasn't been updated in like six months or whatever,

Sometimes that's the only way to bring back the OP for the final updates :/

Don't you think you should put more thought into your battleplan?!


So if a thread that hasn't been posted to in a couple months on page 10-15ish is "locked for archiving", can a mod be asked to unlock it, or is it too late?

Yeah, it's too late. What people tend to do in such cases is just to start a new thread with all the existing updates in it.

Man I didn't realize the cutoff was so soon recently. Then again I didn't realize this sort of locking didn't "fade out" the thread entry like a normal lock does, so I guess maybe its always been like this. :(

I guess I could do a new thread, but I think it'd feel weird, given there was a decent bit of viewer involvement.

Archiving was accidentally turned off for awhile, it was how I was able to revive an LP that hadn't had posts in seven months. That's since been fixed.

Mods can't unarchive threads, sadly.

You can also link the previous updates into the SSLP tester so people without archive access can still view them.

I won this avatar on a technicality this thick.
What I don't understand is why the LP threads get 2 months while every other thread gets 4 months (haven't seen one with 3 months).

LP tends to get a higher volume of new threads compared to elsewhere on the forums, so the Archive Lock window is shorter here to compensate.

HOOKED ON THE BROTHERS
How is PornHub as a hosting site? I'm still looking for a good alt vid host without the dumb restrictions of VidMe or the overbearing ads of everywhere else. Some people have used PornHub mirrors successfully and there's no rules saying uploads have to be porn.

There's not any real problem with it; they aren't super strict about content checks and they don't really place ads that I've noticed. It's just not a super popular site.

No. It just went on vacation while I waited for an HDMI dongle I ordered from China to emerge from the black hole the shipped it through. I have it now though. I'm actually recording footage for it tonight.

Why would you order one from China instead of sourcing one on Amazon?

has anyone ever done an LP of an unofficial translation of a game? I have a copy of pokemon emerald featuring a garbage english translation I've been thinking about doing something with, but idk if anyone would be interested in that, or if that sort of thing is off-limits for the forum or board. if it is something that can be done, are there any examples of that sort of thing I could look up in the lp archive or whatever that would be useful to read over/watch?

There was an LP of the Japanese-to-Chinese-to-Vietnamese-to-English bootleg of Pokemon Crystal a few years ago, so go for it.

Sure, almost this exact example has been done once (kinda twice, but it was abandoned pretty early) in Pokemon Vietnamese Crystal (and it was hysterical). More broadly, unofficial translations have been fine in the past, good or bad, sometimes even from the LPer themself.

was that the one delicious cinnamon was doing? the copy I have is the same bootleg as the one they were using for their abandoned emerald run. it's a damned shame those guys aren't really active anymore. the vietCrystal lp was a treasure, and a bunch of the other stuff they did was about as good.

Nah, it was some bootleg of Green version. It's probably archived at this point, but if you have archives and are curious, here you go.

vietCrystal is easily the best-worst of the nonsense bootleg pokemon translations. the fact that half of the text is junk puts it way above the rest
