People can't give comments unless you do a sample of a typical update. Just posting your OP doesn't give enough information.

Ideally, this would be a call to action of sorts that would bring OP (or else some likely hero) to put the LP back on track

That sounds like a really weird thing to do.

OddHaberdasher posted:

but I could theoretically continue the LP

That sounds fine, factoring in what other folks have said. Just doing one update is like giving someone just two chest compressions in CPR and then stopping, hoping that you've motivated someone else to take over.

Hey, MAGIX is an awful, awful company so I made a video about how Sony Vegas Pro has gone to poo poo since they purchased ownership of it in 2016. If you are interested in hearing about how the only way to get a refund is to send a form letter to germany via snail mail, please watch it. If you use Sony Vegas Pro to make your let's plays (like I have from 2011 until now), please do not give MAGIX any more money. Also this video has my face in it.

The only quibble I have is that the portraits you're using for the dialogue are a bit tall, but since they're pulled straight from the game like that (and come with those pretty borders) I don't know if there's a better way to do it that's worth the effort.

Sibyl Disobedience posted:

I actually just spent a lot of time internally debating using timg. I went with them thinking that it would be considered polite to use them, so this conversation is a tad distressing.

For this post in particular, I had a lot of large screenshots that I wanted to include at full size for people who might be interested in seeing detail, but initiated them as a thumbnail so that a reader not interested in detail could just get a quick glance of what I'm referring to and not have it disrupt the flow of reading. Can someone advise me if this considered to be a bad practice and I should just full size everything, or is my style of presentation unique enough that the usual complaints against timg do not apply?

imo you're using timg's right in that post - things like pretty pics and concept art and the like are fine to be shrunk. You're not doing a SSLP in which people have to click everything, you're okay.

one immediate thing!


screenshots should not look like this!


screenshots should look like this! whatever you're doing for this pic, you should be doing for all pics.

if your screenshots are too big, you need to crop and/or resize them. [timg] tags help nobody and make things worse :buddy:

watching someone mine 6400 silver ore is hella boring, seeing a few screenshots with the explanation text "i've mined 6400 silver ore, out of my goal of 10k, so that i can craft those into tiaras, because that's the most efficient way of training my crafting high enough to make a special amulet, because that amulet will make it more efficient to train my ranged level" is much better

- banner pic is really big yo

- other pics are a good size on my screen

- it's hard to read any bits of the UI that are on the yellowing paper background. i don't know of any way to improve this :v:

Alright, I've waffled on making a test post for this long enough, this is a test for a screenshot LP of Pokemon Stadium 2. I recall back a while ago, don't know if it's still in effect or not, there was a Pokemon LP lightban of some kind, or at least you had to get active permission to make one due to the influx of them. If there is indeed still that lightban, I'll attempt to properly get the permission for the LP.

Includes both the OP and first update, separated by a line of hyphens.

Outside of the above concern, if there's any other issues, or if I am indeed ready to :justpost: please let me know. Thank you in advance.

pokemon ban has been gone for a long time, so green light for that issue!

i was confused about all the empty space on the right until i skipped forward enough to see that your hand cards went there, so that nixes my would-be complaint about it not being centered

i personally do not care for the bottom chunk of the screen but i'm guessing that was a stream overlay or something? if you plan to edit the streams into more digestible vids then imo you should also crop that out

post layout seems fine (dunno why all the images are clickable though?). iirc that might be lpix doing something weird with [timg] tags - and if so there's no need to do that, since none of the pics are big enough to need it at all (and if that's not it then welp :v:)

depending on how many deck submissions you get you might want to have the links in a second post just in case you bump into the character limit
