Catsworth posted:I actually considered it not too long ago but figured this far in it doesn't really matter. Next thing I do I definitely will, though. I didn't mean to start a thing but it was kind of disheartening not getting any responses. As long as people are enjoying them then that's all I care about but I do appreciate the response. Throw me in as another guy enjoying your videos and a good number of the others in the thread. Just don't have much to say about them!

Niggurath posted:But if you feel more comfortable in the megathread then that's fine, but really don't get stuck in this thought process that people are going to dog pile on you for having fun. It does happen, actually, but I doubt the whining and screaming is going to have any teeth unless your LP is literally unreadable/unwatchable. I mean, between the Minesweeper LP (which is great, by the way), and the million and one sperg-simulator strategy games, and the steady trickle of Japanese dating sim LP's, I'm not sure there's much you can throw at the forums which WILL be a problem, unless it's a very tired gimmick or just straight-up boring, and pretty much all of that is covered in the rules.

Danaru posted:Pretty much this. I've considered making a thread for an LP before, but between my own technical ineptitude and worrying about ending up 'screaming into a void' as it were, I've stuck to megathreads. I'd say the forum's a bit more open now than it was (partly, I think, because people got to vent on the subject), but I do get where you're coming from. As to the "screaming into the void" thing, sometimes that's just plain bad luck. As far as "technical ineptitude" goes, well... Firstly, that's something that just takes time and practice. I haven't gotten to the level I'm truly happy with in this ol' hobby yet, but I go for it anyhoo because... Well, as Niggurath said, I'm having a blast, it seems like other folks are having a blast, and really? That, and showing off a game I love/hate, is really all that matters to me. Secondly, you've actually got a fairly good chemistry goin' there, and you've played to your strengths by playing games that... Well, don't need much editing. I will mention that I'm an oldgames freak and somewhat biased though, so take what I've said here with a grain of salt. Heh, I think one of the things that needs to be mentioned a lot to new posters here (and isn't so much) is: We all worry about these things to some extent or another. Hell, half my recent conversations with fellow LP folks has ended with the somewhat depressing "Well, poo poo, there's this game I want to LP, it's on my loving list, but I don't have a clue how to do it in an entertaining way!" In my case, it's a metric fuckton of Atari ST and BBC Micro games (For example, there are some boulderdash "clones" on the BBC that genuinely mix up the formula. But how the gently caress do I keep talking during 80 loving "screens"?), some arcade and twinstick games (Alien Breed Trilogy, for example. I ran out of things to say about five minutes in, knowing full well there wouldn't be another weapon or new concept for... Another twenty minutes.), and some strategy games (After Aftermath, I quickly realised that SSLPs are... A thing I need to prepare well in advance of posting the thread.) As leery as I was of the thread when it began (Not my proudest moment, but I'll own up to it), it's definitely a thing that should stick around, because it's a good way to build up your confidence to the point where you can handle those worries. [hits preview] Welp, Shady Amish Terror's hit it on the nose. So there's my own  , and I imagine now I'll want to actually make something for the thread to compensate for that.

What about those of us who want to be commentary buddies? I'd love to guest commentate in things and get more comfortable shooting the poo poo about games, seeing as how I feel I did poor-to-mediocre in the two guest appearances I've done so far.

There are a number of pretty chill "2007-esque" LP threads on the subforum right now, even if they aren't constantly appearing on the first page, and no one has been banned or probated over them.

Cordial Minuet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulJMzYUGZyg A buddy and I played Jason Rohrer's new game about gambling. Just a singular video introduction on its quirks. I got super hyper-secret access, and I thought I'd show it off because the articles I've read about it so far don't paint a very clear picture.

I'm a Jason Rohrer fanboy. He's a really interesting guy. I'll be the first to admit that his games lack a lot of substance to play for an extended period of time, but they hit pretty heavy with their message while being incredibly unique at the same time. But yeah, a lot of hype around him is just people (like me) going, "This guy is weird!! Did I mention how weird and different he is?!" I saw him at PAX Prime in 2012, and he signed my rare copy of Diamond Trust of London. He's tall. *sigh* Oh, Jason.

zfleeman posted:Cordial Minuet How come when you place 2 lines, the opponent only places one? Or can your opponent only see the red line you set? If so, that's a pretty interesting concept and a neat game, but as confusing as it is (that I needed an explanation on how it works) it seems like a disincentive to spend actual money on it. I suppose everyone's in the same boat right at the start, but without a proper tutorial or something I feel like you could easily hustle somebody or at least clean house when it gets a wider release.

Six rows or columns, 111 each. The sum of the integers from 1 to 36 is 666. That's just the mathematics of it.

Cheez posted:"Are all the letters in the correct order? Ok then. Let's ignore all the rest of these." There's a few cases where it considers similar words and has compensations for one letter being off. So sock equals sucks among other things. edit: Alternatively, it just looks for a certain set of letters to each appear a certain number of times and then gently caress everything else, order included.
