Thank you both! What a tremendous LP. I've poured hundreds of hours into the various incarnations of this game (maybe up over a thousand by now) and to see the way you've both detailed everything that makes it great, and written from the heart about it... it's pretty awesome :unsmith:

E: Also, you finally did it!

Yes! CODA 4 owns so hard. Makes me wish we had more Matsuno (or at least a remake of this quality for MotBQ).

Picked up the remaster with some of my overtime money because I really enjoyed the thread. Goddamn, it's even better playing it.
E: Seriously though, I'm about to be a weenie that's opposed to things like slaughtering towns of the people I'm fighting to protect and the soundtrack is loving great. Love the horns.

It also helps that its a lot easier to keep all these people and factions straight when I'm mainlining the plot and not viewing the plot in lp time.

I'm going to use the occasion (occasion being me buying my first account) to thank you for having made a let's play of this game. I bought It a while ago but remember not finishing it due to weird combat mechanics I never grasped. Thanks for helping me enjoy that game, it's amazing.

Waah's gone again, I think I'll be sending this deal to the LP archives soon.

If anyone spots any egregious typoes or grammatical errors, let me know!

I've updated the chapters page with all the chapters not previously included, and will spend a bit of time going through the chapters for typos etc

Saw this a long while back, definitely going to read it once it's on the archives. Clocked in 330 hours on the remake and a bunch on the PSP version, so this is definitely going to be a good read.

I agree - it's past time. I don't know what travails are happening chez waah, but this is an LP for a game that is 13 years old that has been going on for six years, three months and has seen a remake of its game conceived, created and released. Simply stated, it's well past time.

Sadly, the archives are so backed up right now I don't know if it will ever make it, but no reason not to start now.

I'm not criticising, really, I just think that Baldur is either overwhelmed and/or totally burned out. He didn't update since November until a few weeks ago. There was a little flutter where he moved in a few dozen LPs, and now weeks of silence.

I didn't see it as a critic.

I never went on something awful until a few weeks ago, but I keep check on the LP archive website. It just seems like a case of real life getting in the way, and when they get time they uploads a lot of LP's at once. But I don't know how long the waiting list is for LP's to be archieved.

I'm not criticising him either - I wish that he had some help, but when it's six months between updates then it's a very serious problem.

This LP is like that paradox where one keeps moving half the distance towards the goal without being able to get there. The LP archive hasn't seen an update since late May, so it's probably a moot point, but I think that I am going to re-read it from the start before the images and videos start to be lost.

I would say 'try again', but I don't know if it will help.

Is there any other way to backup the photos and videos? They wouldn't take up that much space, and what I've found with LPs that never leave the forums is that the videos are lost first while the photos take some years, but eventually all that is left is the text. Presumably videos and screencaps could be stored offline just in case.

If the photos are on imgur, there was a policy change over there a while back that stuff gets deleted for inactivity after a period. So video will last longer right now waiting for barudak to return or hand off the reigns.

A script or, if completely lazy, just hitting Crtl+S on each relevant page is probably substantially safer and faster. So long as your browser saves the source images which at least Firefox does. It's also substantially faster.

Sorry for double posting, but the archive was just updated today for the first time since 24 May of this year. I would contact them again. Perhaps if you play up how long this LP has been in progress, you might get to jump the queue.

Mindopali

From what I've seen, that's how the archive works. Long periods of silence, and then updates for some time.

There's been a game a day for some days now, from games that were finished in 2021 or 2023, so I don't know how he prioritizes the stuff. Nonetheless, it's been like this for some time, seemingly abandonned and then back to it.

It's a legitimate question to ask 'Yes, but when'? I'm not even trying to make fun of Baldurk. I realise that he does this out of the goodness of his heart, but I think that he's overworked, doesn't have enough help and gets very burned out, which is why he goes dark for months at a time. Purple's LP of M&M6 just went into the archives; that LP was started almost three years ago. I can only imagine what the backlog must be.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

he's working on it, I know that much, it'll happen when it happens.
Worst case scenario, the lions share of the LP is backed up and it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to get the rest.

He doesn't post them in chronological order from what I could see. Apart from that, no idea how he handles it or how long the backlog really is.

I'm going to read Helmet 10s incomplete LP first, but then I am going to read this thread from top to tip. It may never make the archives, but it's a great story that anyone interested in RPGs should experience.
