So that's why you occasionally ended your sentences with "hoot" whenever we recorded. Thought something was a bit off but I couldn't put my finger on what exactly.

 I Am The Golf Lord, Lord of All The Golf, All Golfers Tremble Before Me We're going to do this a little differently and put the us back in let's play. Here's how it's going to work: We're going to play a different golf game every week. I'll generally try to limit it to groups of four people but we'll do some special exhibitions on games that allow for more. There are four teams: 1) Grandma Party 2) A person of Grandma Party's choosing who he thinks would be fun; 3) The first responder; and 4) A person who earns their spot through deeds or charity. And if no one does, second responder gets it. We're all going to play the same golf game at a designated time. For now, it's going to be Saturday at 4 PM CST. I will do a different time on some weeks for people on the other side of the ponds. Results will be kept and tallied for each team. Final team gets a trophy with their team name on it. It's going to live at my house as a reminder of my eventual triumph (or shame.) Probably triumph, because I'm really, really good at video golf. All of it. Since you pick what game you get to be in, I get to pick the course we play. And we're going to play a lot of golf. And I'll take suggestions. Golf List So Far Golf With Your Friends Golf It Neo Turf Masters Ribbit King 100 Foot Robot Golf Everybody's Golf Spheda What the Golf Aqua Teen Hunger Force Ninja Pro Am How Are We Going to Do This? I pick a golf game for that week on a given day. I announce a time. First responder here gets to be in it. And I'll also issue a challenge or do a target charity. $10 or dignity gets you in. Your pick. If two or more people issue the challenge or do the charitable donation, they fight each other first. Winner moves on to the final round with the other teams. Videos will be recorded at the same time. I'm testing out different ways to do it. Make sure you have some way to twitch/stream. How can we make it spicy? Oh, I'm glad you asked. Because I'm an idiot and like to make bets. Bets that involve dignity. And if you issue challenges, I'll probably respond. And most of all, let's have fun.

To be fair, because of Radium's coding, you have perform a complex blood magic ritual every time you want to change anything on Something Awful without opening a portal to hell.

Give it a try in a few minutes. I think it should be working. I made both a retro sub forum and a mobile games sub forum (this is partly what affected me knocking out Let’s Play). The forums just takes a bit of time to propagate changes.

Hey, I have a test post! So, what's all this then? This is AI: The Somnium Files, a visual novel / puzzle type game by Spike Chunsoft, released for the PS4, the Switch and the PC in September of 2019. It was directed by Kotaro Uchikoshi. That Uchikoshi? That Uchikoshi - most known for directing the Zero Escape series and mind-melting plots and twists therein. So what's this game about? Well, as far as gameplay is concerned, we're looking at a game that mixes the investigation segments from Danganronpa (look around an area from a fixed position, checking out items in the scene and talking to people) with strange puzzle segments where you have to search for solutions to problems in people's dreams, with all the bizarre dream logic that follows from that. It actually works really well. As for the story, you play detective Kaname Date, an investigator with a cybereye that has a revolutionary AI named Aiba (short for AI-Ball - get it, AI-Ball, eye ball?) in it that helps him in his investigations. Date and Aiba begin the game investigating a murder, and things just repeatedly escalate from there. It's an Uchikoshi game. Expect poo poo to get nuts. Also expect lots of AI / eye puns. And what about the LP? In a departure from what I usually do, this LP will be done in video form with subtitled commentary. I thought a lot about it, and I eventually came to the conclusion that this format has more benefits than a standard VLP (the voiceacting is really good and the game is a lot more "active" - there's a lot going on that is more difficult to convey in screenshots) and also avoids some serious drawbacks (the dialogue headshots use the same 3D models as the characters themselves, meaning there is no sprite rip, meaning I would've had to manually cut out all those expressions, meaning I would've thrown myself out a window halfway through). I will obviously be editing when necessary. Spoiler pol- NO NO NO NO NO! NO SPOILERS EVER! And don't even think about being cute about it. I can tell. I've been that fucker that gets cute about spoilers. I've been him several times within my own LPs. I know. No spoilers, not even under tags. Anyway, with that said, let's get going. This is a link to the first video, I might make some graphics for it later but not now Sandcastle notes: Well, this is the first time I've ever done anything with video beyond "record, maybe cut something out, and dump it onto Youtube", so anything I hosed up is good to hear. In particular, I'm still worrying if the subtitles are readable because I can skim really fast and I can't assume anything from that. Also, I noticed that I said the BGM gets a bit heavy on the "default language", which makes no sense. So don't point that out.

TheMcD posted:Hey, I have a test post! I find it simultaneously a bit barren and too busy. You have subtitles while the game is showing text, which makes it hard to decide what to follow. Maybe hold back while the game is speaking and don’t advance the game when you are? Speed of subtitles is otherwise fine. At the same time, investigation is very quiet, just a bit of clinky-clanky music. You say there will be more dialog later, so it may not be a problem. I can just see myself slightly zoning out during these bits and not catch the text. Might just be me, though. Should otherwise be interesting, though!

I've heard they're part of some ARG, but that's about all I know at this point. klafbang posted:I find it simultaneously a bit barren and too busy. The main problem is that I record, and then I do the subtitles. I don't plan out the subtitles beforehand because otherwise my recording sessions would become a lot more complicated. Instead, I let the auto text advance do its thing and work from there. I'll have to see what I can do about having subtitles while the game is showing text, because the game is showing text most of the time. Those kinds of lulls aren't that common. On the other hand, the quietness is kind of intentional. I'm very much going with "if I don't have anything to say, don't say anything" and am not against leaving dead air. I can however be pretty certain in saying that if there is something important being investigated, there will be dialogue. So you can at least notice that way if you should be paying attention. Anybody else have some feedback? I'll take what I can get right now.

I had issues with subtitling as well, when I started using them. I think you really have to get into the habit of leaving a bit of dead air intentionally for subtitles, whether you plan to use them or not. Thinking ahead and planning when you think you'll have something relevant to say is extremely helpful, but at worst, you leave a bit of a gap every time something interesting happens and then don't say anything. It gives the audience a bit of thinking time.

It gives the audience a bit of thinking time. I'll have to see how I can make that work. I'm relying on the auto text advance to leave the non-spoken text on screen long enough to read, meaning I'd probably have to repeatedly turn it on and off, which could get annoying. I guess I'll just have to manually advance text and hopefully get it right.

It's a tricky balance though, too much time will leave your viewer bored waiting for the next line. For what it's worth I didn't have trouble reading along with your test video.

Hey, folks! I've been reading and watching these LP's for quite a time now, and I figured it was about time I chipped in with an LP of my own. I 've got a OP and a first update completed and a second one being finished, but I was looking to gather an opinion on what I've got. The first update has a bit of tutorials, but it ended up being shorter than the second update and what the third update will end up being thanks to lots and lots of  , so I went with it. Part of me worries that the OP is a bit too wordy, but I've also seen some very long OP posts before, so I'm a bit conflicted on the matter.In regard to the portrait sizes, nobody seems to have ever ripped sprites or music from this game from what I could find, and since I have no experience with PSP file formats, I had to do the portraits the hard way. They're still at 100x100, which is as small as I can go before resizing it down (which completely destroys them)- are they fine at this size? I know I've seen concerns expressed about them being larger than 75x75 before. I've also got music links to the soundtrack hosted at the music archives on KHinsider. I was also wondering if these are fine, or if I'll need to handle the music in a different manner, since I've never read a SSLP that used it. If there's anything that needs changed, I'd rather have to do that now before I get knee-deep into this LP. Any advice would be helpful!

Hey, I went back and edited the first episode down a bit to reduce the amount of dialogue / subtitles crossover, and made a second episode with that feedback in mind. Also, I made some pictures for the videos. Could somebody take a look and see if this improved things somewhat, or if there's still something I should work on? It seems like the second episode has a fairly low amount of commentary, but maybe that'll just be the way it is.

The Flying Twybil posted:Look on my works, ye mighty I think it's fine in terms of wordiness. Intro updates usually are more wordy than others because of tutorial stuff and setting up story/setting. I like that you have Gifs to break up the screenshots (although I can't check the file sizes of them at the moment since I'm on tablet. I assume they are fairly small based on load time). The screenshots are kind of small though. I know that's native PSP, but it makes for difficult reading. That's more a personal complaint though. I know that PSP is tricky since enlarging the screenshots too much can really make 3D stuff look horrid. It's just something that stood out to me. Portraits don't look bad. 100x100 should be fine as long as the file size stays low. It is possible to rip the assets from a PSP file using software, but I don't have the experience with it to offer much help. I do need to look into messing with it soon for an LP of my own, so if I figure something out then I'll get back to you (assuming you aren't too far in by that point). Also I hate VC2.  Especially Avan.
