While the subforum definitely had that vibe for a couple of years, things had become considerably more chill long before LP Zone got started. Yeah, the only thing I don't like about LP Zone is their software making it all continuous scroll. Makes it really annoying to resume an LP on a different device as you can't bookmark a page.

Looking at the SA LP sub-forum, though, some of them seem to be still posting LPs there as well, so...?

There's nothing prohibiting posting on multiple sites for extra views, think of it like back in the old days people uploaded to more than just YouTube. The endless scrolling is really bad though but they can't do anything about it since the Dev of the forum system they picked hates pages with a burning passion for some reason, so they can't really do screenshot LP without risking crashing browsers.

Not everybody bailed entirely. Mainly a core group that are all closer friends. Lp.zone wasn't meant to be a wholesale replacement of the subforum but just somewhere away from the more cynical / dickish SA culture. Things just gotexpedited when poo poo went down. And yeah, not gonna lie, the discourse software kinda sucks and I wish they'd gone with more traditional forum style

Yeah, if you're doing a video LP on SA you might as well dump your updates on the Zone as well because you can just copy-paste everything as is except for smilies. Screenshot LPs are doable, but the forum software just isn't suited for them so I haven't bothered. It's not like you get that many views or comments on the Zone anyway unless you're Chip Cheezum, but it's not a big deal to crosspost your VLP stuff.

I don't know how it is now, but at the time, the LP sub-forums strict rule-set I thought was to drum out low-effort garbage and trolling (remember Richard Gamingo?). I think it was an answer to the quality of YouTube LPs at the time, where it was mostly camcorders recordings, unedited footage of constant failures, and obnoxious gimmicks; the idea being to dissuade that sort of thing from happening on SA. The trade-off, though, is that I imagine it put a damper on what you could do in the sub-forums, where if you had a bad mic, or tried to go outside the box a bit, people would slam it. I don't know, though, since I stopped following ongoing LPs a while ago (mostly I just read ones on the Archive). Incidentally, Retsupurae hasn't posted a new video in almost a year now.

I'm not posting it because it's good, I'm posting it because I'm amazed someone would actually sit down and do such a thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsl9FkEVyCo How far can you get, scrubs? Forget your excellently crafted and story driven screenshot bullshit. This is what the people want to see now. Adapt or die, fuckos. Git gud.

I hadn't heard he had a kid, I thought he was busy with work. Slowbeef streams almost daily so I had wondered what was going on. The LP forum is definitely not what it used to be since most of the bigger names either disappeared or left for other sites. I know some stopped LPing.

Ack ack ack I miss the days when tihydp was just a compilation of DSP being bad at games. Now its become its own thing where people are using it as a way to springboard their own form of comedy with their own in jokes and stuff. I recall putting one in the background for one game, and after about 5 minutes thought "wait what game is the video about?". The first 15 minutes of the video was about a completely different game then what the video was supposed to be about. They make fun of DSP for running jokes into the ground while they themselves run jokes into the ground, make fun of his overly long pre-game talk while they have overly long intros. Why the gently caress does a compilation have an intro?! Not even jokey intros, just "this is my brand" intros. Someone was in such a rush to get out a tihydp the description of the video was something like "yeah I messed up audio but its fixed next video." Dude, loving wait another hour and get that poo poo fixed, its not a race! Also they mostly focused on egregious examples of him being bad, but now they're 12+ hour marathons of basically every moment that he fucks up, with some reference to another tihydp and other inner meme jokes made by each individual who made the video. And why do they still reference Pandalee? Its been like a year and a half now? Bury it already! Where are my ethics in TIHYDP!?

Yes, but not a lot of LPers do that anymore The only streamer I really watch any stuff from is allshamnowow, who was a guest on Retsutalk when that was still a thing. He had been periodically doing edited videos of his streams and putting them on YouTube, but has more recently said that it's too much work for no real return since you can't make anything off of YouTube revenue anymore.

Always bet on Duke  , but never bet on Hilary, I guess.

Because I mentioned the GMan Squad and jsXanatos a while back, I found myself rewatching a lot of kitty0706's videos this week. Leaving aside that he (like Xanatos) used to think this one gay slur is the funniest word in existence, I find myself surprised at how many of the jokes still land. There's a great sense of timing, especially in his 'Elliot Goes to School' videos which works perfectly for both 23 and 10 year old me. And also, I've come to realize just how much that snappy, sound effect laden style of comedy has influenced me. I don't know if I'm the only one. I really gotta put myself in the right state of mind, because the slurs really distract me at some points- but when it gets going, it really gets going.

I know when you brought it up, I went and watched A TF2 Western, which in turn reminded me of Ignus Solus. Kitty0706 really was exceptional with the machinma stuff he did. You could say his animation style wasn't as refined as someone like DasBoSchitt, but it had a real energy to it, and his use of sound effects and facial poses really were what delivered the comedic punch with the non-sequiturs. Even now, stuff like Mass Defect, Moments with Heavy, and Team Fabulous 2 still make laugh. It's sad that he passed away, especially since he seemed like he was working towards being an animator, and it would have been nice to see what he would have made if he had gotten established in that field.

Max Wilco posted:I know when you brought it up, I went and watched A TF2 Western, which in turn reminded me of Ignus Solus. Exactly. Kitty's style was the first time I remember seeing that kind of fast-paced, snapping animation with sound effects and manic energy. And it's a credit to his abilities that even some of the jokes that aged badly have some grace to them, or that he also has a bunch of self-aware jokes about how the characters say 'gay' a lot-- one of my favorite jokes is on the Mondays episode of Elliot Goes to School, where Brandon goes "That's so...", looks off-camera, and it cuts to this person holding a cue card that says 'LINE: DUMB' and there's just this simple beat before it cuts back to Brandon and he says "... gaaaay" with the dumbest face on. It's so good. Kitty, Xanatos, all those people that aren't around anymore for whatever reason really nailed their particular styles. Current animators I like that remind me of Kitty include Gray Cartoon Pony, but both of their styles are way more refined (Greatdictator in particular is amazing at movement in particular, their Team Neighborhood series applies all the technique of a Looney Tunes short to the TF2 models with incredible results) and miss some of that... I don't know what the word is for it. The closest equivalent I can think of is the Xerox remains you'd see in 60s Disney animation like Winnie the Pooh and Jungle Book. SFM also killed a lot of that for me. There's a particular smoothness every SFM animation has that sorta sands away at the edges GMod's style has.

Check out STBlackST and Payton Tate. I dunno what they use (seems like GMod, though it could be SFM), but their videos seem to capture some of that rough style.
