What makes this whole thing extra hilarious is that seorin already did a Kagetsu Tohya LP, it was just never put into the LP Archive. It's totally LP-able but this guy could not be more insufferable about wanting to be an LP superstar with visual novels at this point.

I never knew that I should probably check that out if there is a way. Also, I don't understand how someone could've been a superstar from lping A Kiss For The Petals.

ADullMin posted:What this person should do is maybe lp a VN with tons of choices and no porn. The visual novel thread could easily give them a recommendation for an lp. He hasn't just been posting porn games with out the porn for his shots at stardom. He's been told repeatedly that he should go to the VN thread and do non porn games. He still tries porn games. He legit wants to LP a porn game, not a VN. So good riddance to him.

There's probably a forum for that somewhere but this ain't one of them. ...incidentally, there's a couple of non-porn games out there that nonetheless have certain bits of explicitness and I can't remember how we handled them. I'm thinking of the Dante's Inferno LP specifically. I can't even imagine how one of those levels/boss fights could be handled without a giant censor bar blocking out half the screen. (Can't look it up at the moment, doing something else)

This might just be personal preference, but if a character says multiple lines one after another, you might want to aggregate all of the dialog into a single text block instead of reposting the same character's avatar over and over. If there is some pacing to the dialog, you could still separate different lines with space, but it all looks a bit silly to see the same characters face 4+ times in a row!

Quovak posted:Why can't it be both? I've had some experimental ideas that could have benefited from a dedicated place for that kind of thing but instead were part of pre-existing threads. I've also done things like those Final Fight videos or Objectivist Life Force in response to a challenge, when I never would have made them just out of the blue. If a thread let me play around with ideas I've already had and encouraged me to do things I hadn't considered, viewers would get the best of both worlds and I'd never want for things to try. It's worth noting, by the way, that the experiments I've done based on prompting have been far better received than what I've done on my own. Yeah, like I said it depends.

It's not a question of whether or not someone "minds" a game - it's whether or not it breaks the rules. I have no idea what Demonbane is (and before you explain, I don't really need to) but I don't think admitting it's a VN with porn makes it a strong contender given what just happened in this thread.

I know I got a big surge of people when my LP hit there. The fact that "not getting gassed on SA" acts as quality control doesn't occur to them. I kind of prefer it that way - it's funny when a straight-from-youtube guy posts his horrible thread where he spends the whole time calling Sonic the Hedgehog a oval office or dumps a bunch of youtube videos, only to meltdown when people tell him his poo poo stinks.

Fate stay night and tsukihime were once lped here and they just left out the porn. Sure the safer bet is to just lp a non porn VN, but that shouldn't exclude ones where porn scenes are just there for the game to sell and they clearly aren't centered around it.

Anyone wanting to LP a visual novel with porn in it is also ignoring the fact that there are a lot of VNs out there without any porn in them as well. This site has rules for a reason, after all.

I've had this nagging concern for a while now. There are a few times when I've been tolded that what I'm making aren't LPs and they are playthroughs or walkthroughs. But... I'm playing the game and commentating. That seems sufficient for the definition. Is it a lack of a personality or something? I suppose what I make is very game-centered but the only reason I wanted to LP was to show off games that I thought would be fun. Am I'm getting too focused on the game and the humor suffers? I watched a Star Fox 64 LP by (I believe) some strange flea and it was pretty funny while still informative. He usually went with a joke for any section where nothing new happens while I'd normally just do a cut whenever I have nothing to say. I dunno. I just want to know if there is any way to improve my commentary more.

I don't know who gave you that idea but I haven't really had that vibe from your Game Dev LP. You don't really know how everything works and you are experimenting with it. I think that is as far from a walkthrough as you can get.

I've seen one of your LPs and if your source for these comments are YouTube, I can guarantee you that they are wrong. I think you get comments about this because you have a very informative style, which is a concept foreign to YouTube. I think you're decently funny and the stuff you put out is high quality. If you wanted to make your videos more jokey you could always enlist a co-commentator. Having one guy who knows what he's doing and another who doesn't is usually a pretty good setup for less serious LPs.

Was it on Reddit's Let's Play IRC? Every single time someone has said this to me, it's been from someone who puts zero effort into their Let's Plays. To them, a Let's Play means "Hit record, play the game, say silly stuff". And if you plan out your commentary, or edit things out, or be informative at all, or put literally any effort into it, what you're making is "Not a let's play but more of a walkthrough". Like, what PewDiePie makes is a Let's Play, and if you do more work than that then you should call it something else. I used to hang around a variety of Let's Play places, and "that's more of a walkthrough than a Let's Play" meant this every time. So it means ignore them, make what you want to make and create something you can be proud of.

Interrupting anime porn chat for a bit, I've come back to solicit some more feedback for the "Experimental LP" idea I posted here yesterday. I took to heart Quovak's suggestion about having something to shoot for rather than just a blank slate of encouragement, and so here is the test OP Mk. II for "Let's Play with the format! Experimental LP Contest Megathread 2k13" http://lpix.org/sslptest/index.php?id=15672 This specific contest idea obviously isn't locked in stone, and if something better comes up I will probably do that instead - this was just the first thing I thought of.

Maybe my concern boils down to whether LPs mean something different to most people than what I am making. If, in the most extreme case, LPs mean screaming, obnoxious personalities to most people, then maybe I shouldn't call them LPs. The term would only attract the wrong people and maybe discourage people who also dislike screaming, obnoxious personalities. As for my concern about commentary, I just always want to be trying to improve something and am pretty shite at noticing my own flaws. Not a stress or confidence issue. Just have more fun trying to improve in some way. Most representative of my style currently would be the latest bit of the Witcher 2. http://www.polsy.org.uk/play/yt/?vurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DRauWbEAkS3Y
