And what should one do to be remembered?
The LP threads were the big draw for me too, especially the Fire Emblem ones. Though the original dangan ronpa LP thread was such an experience lol All the tumblr people desperately account sharing to bypass the paywall was pretty funny. It's cool that orenronen and The Dark Id both got thank you messages from Spike Chunsoft and Cavia for giving their titles so much visibility in the West.

I don't think Slowbeef deliberately ignores ingame text because every game should be like the first level of Mega Man X, no.

To be honest it's really hard to watch a lot of RP (not using the name because it's racist as gently caress). It hasn't aged well, and I'm glad slowbeef and Diabetus moved on from it

The tool assisted slow run mario 64 and SMB3 *CENSORED* vids still are great imo.

They're funny, but it's not so funny when they were making fun of the guy who was doing those fighting game moves and the Haruhi dance for his weight. I also remember one where they made fun of a Brave Fencer Musashi let's play by joking that the LPers were gay

There was an offshoot LesBeardly did where he did videos of just Super Mario World and rom hacks and those were just literally bullying children with righteous self-indignation and man it represented the worst of the culture LP had back then.

I always liked Chip and Ironicus' RP offshoot more, but I also found them more pleasant to listen to than Slowbeef and Diabetus in general.

FTFY

The internet was (and still is kinda) weirdly obsessed around bullying children. Gen Xers thought we were soft because we weren't allowed to fight other kids in school and old people love to yell at clouds.

it was kind of weird to keep using the retsupurae brand for things that weren't retsupuraes, imo. Especially if you're disavowing the origins of it, though I forget when they first did that.

I was never into the videos making fun of lets players but I really liked the RP longplay commentary videos. Haven’t gone back in a while so I don’t know if they hold up or if they were carried by the absurdity of the games themselves.

Retsupurae was pretty strongly rooted in the SA mockery tradition, and died out as that declined, for the better. Even so, the name stuck until they started deliberately distancing themselves from it, which is relatively recent.

Of course, mock threads still exist on SA, but they're still walking a fine line between legit criticism and mere bullying.
