posters: LEAVE!

nightelf_37: Can I still follow this one LP?
posters: LEEAAAAAAVE!!!

Kinu: Stop!! loving!! Posting!!
(nightelf_37 actually stops loving posting)
(or DO they?)
(nightelf_37 signs up an alt and continues posting, gets almost immediately hit with a 24 day probe for being a dickhead in an LP thread, but also makes a GBS thread for some reason)
(nightelf_37's orignal account gets banned and probated for a month anyway because the first thing they did when they showed up was plug a literal porn romhack with all sorts of gross fetishes and rape poo poo in it)

Kinu, I guess, except instead of horny for nightelf she's instead just incredibly pissed at them.

This whole thing could’ve been avoided if nightelf just PM’d one of the admins/LP mods about this issue and hashed it out in private. Hell, it’s what I did way back when in regards to interest checking vs test posting.

Even if we all know the answer would’ve been “gently caress no,” at least nightelf would’ve gotten their answer and would not have made themself look like a fool.

You’re implying that there’s a distinction between the two emotions (pissed and horny) when it comes to the Big Boss/Ocelot relationship. From what I can gather/remember, there’s not.

The most popular video wes ever made was the one he did screaming about the original probation I gave him that kicked off his death spiral. By like a factor of 100. And he deleted it too, the coward.

I will admit, I'm a bit impressed that nightelf has yet to try and post on his alt and eat a ban for probe evasion.

drat near everyone in LP yelling at him to shut the gently caress up, and it turns out all we needed was the threat of an instantaneous ban.

I haven't checked in a long time but I think that he's taken them all down. I remember his video to Burt Sexual as well as his responses to a couple of other probation and bans. I didn't even think about saving them.

Spewing insults, pissing off all your neighbors, betraying your allies, backing out of treaties and accords, and generally screwing over the global environment?
ALL PART OF MY BRILLIANT STRATEGY!
When LP'ing games that work better as hybrid or SSLP games, and which are also text-heavy, it can be nice to have a script dump of some sort so I don't have to screenshot(or worse yet transcribe), every line of descriptive text and dialogue. I know sometimes people seem to just magically produce script dumps even for games I never expected would have them(like Albion, that was a shock AND very helpful), but is there any sort of central database for them or is it just kind of a crapshoot whether anyone's made one and posted it somewhere public?

In particular I'm currently looking for ones for Betrayal In Antara and Return to Krondor, and as far as I can tell I haven't been able to find any.

DoubleNegative

The most virtuous child in the entire world.
It's a complete crapshoot as far as I'm aware. Some games, like Fractured But Whole, are impossible to find script dumps for because all that comes back are 10,000 gaming news sites reporting the same headline from development.

The best source for a lot of game transcripts and descriptions is fandom wikis. Older crpgs in particular are pretty likely to have every word painstakingly transcribed onto one. You might also look into modding tools because someone may have created a tool that can dump the games text.

For Wizardry 8 it was less bad because it was all voice-acted and most of the voice-acting was, if not excellent, then at least interesting(and some of it was absolutely excellent). For Return to Krondor, likewise, most stuff is going to be voice-acted so I'll just have to get back to posting videos for that.

Worst comes to worst I guess I'll have to, ugh, make an effort and do work which are both, just so you know, absolutely lame.

Depending on how the game's dialogue is formatted, you might also be able to expedite transcribing it with OCR software? I looked into this a bit before deciding it wasn't for me (it wouldn't save me any time in my current workflow), so I can't give advice on specific tools or how to use them, but it might be a decent middle ground?

I think some scripts are also just extracted from from the game's data files directly. That's probably not going to be in a format that you can copy/paste into your LP without reformatting and maybe writing a script to clean things up, though.

I only do VLPs so I don't have to do that poo poo.

Actually that's a lie, I copypasted tons of item descriptions for souls games to include in my update posts. Boy, am I glad for crappy wikis with tons of spelling errors of which I probably only caught half, and accidentally corrected a few from the game. I also created an SSLP-esque segment for my Celeste LP for which I manually transcribed all the dialogue of that really long sequence.

E: actually, that's a lie too, Celeste's entire script for all languages is just an easily editable file in the game folders. I just forgot about that.
