Geez... This gets blown out of proportion. I expected that maybe 1-2 users to answer my question, not sending the subforum into a crapstorm.

In my opinion, cancelling an LP outright just because 1 or 2 enemies has unusually questionable design is such an overkill reaction. Since I'm stubborn, I hope I can get the update nicely by filtering it under heavy censorship and making those enemies not exist.

there's no reason to show young girls in their underwear, as it happens, and people reasonably have strong opinions on this. They also don't know if this is a one-off "okay someone made a really bad judgment call" or "actually that attitude is everywhere in the game", and so are also going to react accordingly.

If you think this was blown out of proportion and that you think this is a shitstorm of a response, I'd seriously think about your viewpoints and judgment that led you to that thought, and consider why people are reacting the way they are.

I was being too oblivious regarding the actual reason why it got blown out. I kept thinking of her as an enemy with unusually questionable design.

I'm truly sorry for causing this whole mess in the first place. I swear I never intended for this crapstorm.

I already reconsidered it. I replaced her sprite with Vivi from Final Fantasy IX.

As mentioned a month or two ago (or was it longer than that? I can't even remember), this subforum is more devoid of drama/self-immolation incidents than a lot of the others. You take your rubbernecking opportunities where you can, which is why there were so many responses. We're all secretly keeping a sharp eye out for the next wesflagr or Pokemon Girls Hunter dude so we can join the communal dogpile and feel like a big happy family. That's why you need to be ever vigilant, lest you end up being at the bottom of such a pile.

Good ol' wesflarger: https://forums.somethingawful.com/banlist.php?userid=226013

He decided to join so he could post several youtube dumps, got probated and then made a meltdown video which has since been removed. Then he returned and posted another dump and when people called him out again he asked for help on how to make a good LP for the forum, people gave him sound advice which he completely ignored and carried on with lovely threads and more dumps, most of which ended up in the toxic waste dump. I believe he made a second meltdown video aimed at the LP forum which was also removed as he was still trying to make a name for himself here.

He proceeded to post elsewhere on the forums which quite often consisted of a lot of misogynistic and homophobic talk which promptly got him probated and banned numerous times. He made two alt accounts and continued this behaviour which also got probated and banned. He decided to make a few more meltdown videos which contained more toxic language. He then paid to unban his own account and made a post in GBS about a book that he wrote: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3917402

The thread in which he ate a 100,000-hour probe is either deleted or removed from public view. The guy was a dickhead and deserved the backlash he received.

If anything is broken after the switch let me know, I'll keep an eye on it to see if I spot anything myself.

It's kinda amazing that one LP can be attributed to getting an entire franchise localized. That's a pretty solid achievement no matter what.

The paywall-related meltdowns are a bonus.

Squenix launched a wave of channel strikes about 2 months ago ahead of deploying their own Youtube Soundtrack channel.

Said channel has the OSTS 100% in Japanese and seemingly no inclination to localize them.

I don't think anything has been saved officially, I know some people made personal backups.

I've had luck with archive.org backing up some videos which was a great help when I go through a playlist and am plagued by the "hidden unavailable videos" taunt on the top that doesn't tell me what it was before it was nuked.

The glow is a guide, my friend. Though it falls to you to avert catastrophe, you will never fight alone.
I'm trying to remember an old LP I wanted to watch again, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was called. It was a co-op video LP with some very old sprited graphics that you ran around like it was doom. Picked up carrots to have a moment of night vision, the weird emotes you could do at each other (Hurrah. :geno:) and a banshee miniboss with corrupted audio that made it sound like it was farting towards you.\\

Edit: And not even 2 minutes later I find it. I'm leaving this here though to preserve my derp, and maybe share it with some other folks. It was Amulets and Armor. On the LP archive like usual, thanks Baldurk.

What really annoys me is that about 50% of the time you'll get a title for a video that's unavailable, and you might have the necessary info to search for it elsewhere. And the other 50% there's just nothing there. No idea if there's some sort of logic involved or just pure arbitrary bullshit.

I seem to remember still being able to access the (grayed-out) videos on mobile sometimes, I think, but not in Chrome. I know that if you can get the unique video-identifying string from the link in your playlist (or wherever), you can sometimes have luck Googling that just to find out what video it used to be.

Things could be going better

This is kind of a weird question but I've been thinking of making a new LP after several years gone and a name change, and the game that I would be interested in doing is Red Candle Games' excellent Detention. However, since it is an *incredibly* political game I'm concerned that the thread is going to just fill up with bad posters getting probated for bad posts. Is the SALP subforum, idk, "mature" enough to handle something like that?

My intention is to present the topic as the game presents it, with some historical background on the White Terror on a high level to set the stage. But as I am not a historian I don't plan on getting into the weeds, so to speak. The main focus of the LP is going to be the actions of the characters and their interpersonal conflicts, not the politics.

I think you should generally expect that most of the posters are going to be left-wing, so if the game, uh, glorifies anything right-wing, then it might start a shitfest(and justifiably so).

On the other hand if it actually has a humane and intelligent take on things, then posters might join in to ask questions or expand on things the game/poster touches on, but not start throwing rocks.
