I also don't think the Chinese government posts here, which was IIRC Detention's issue? Something less-than-flattering about Xi Jinping?

That was their next game, Devotion. From a look at Wikipedia, Detention should be fine but I'll leave it to OP to explain why without spoilers.

If it's the game I'm thinking of, the pedophilia subplot might raise a lot of hackles, but this subforum's generally decently behaved as long as you're careful about framing it.

Things could be going better

Yeah I'm not concerned about nazis getting shirty about things, it's just more that it was a real thing until relatively recently, a poo poo ton of people died because of it, and the whole premise of the protagonists journey revolves around her accidentally participating in the deaths of some people over ideology. The innocent victims here are socialist, or at least people interested in it, so tankies are more in question than nazis, I just didn't want it to devolve into "well THIS is what SHOULD have happened"

Yeah that's the one big real holdup for tone, aside from my pathetic mandarin pronunciation. The game is shot from the perspective of a schoolgirl that has a *very* inappropriate relationship with an older person but since it's told from her childish perspective it's not directly framed as a negative thing, since she doesnt realize what she is a victim of. I don't think it was Red Candle's fault so much as the best they could do without breaking the flow of things would be to have several more people standing around going "Jesus dude what the gently caress". It's nothing graphic, just very heavily implied, but it's *there* and informs huge parts of the plot.

the number of actual honest to god "tankies" on these forums is generally greatly exaggerated. i wouldn't foresee any issues from this angle

I'd be happy to take care of any tankie posting myself if it comes to that, just report it if you see it.

As for the other content, as long as it's not explicit, you should be alright with a content warning in the OP and above any updates that deal with the subject matter.

I feel like there have been enough LPs of similar enough games in the last 15 years that the "un-LPable game" thing doesn't really apply anymore

If you're worried about spoilers in recommended videos from your youtube links to the OST, you can use polsy to make links to videos without recommendations.

Otherwise your updates look good to me.

The warnings above are, I think, mostly about the fact that because it's a visual novel type of game, there's a metric poo poo ton of dialogue, and transcribing or screen-shotting all of that tends to burn out people before too long.

Also someone actually finished an LP of AA1 and even got it on the archive. It was AA2 where that same LPer ended up stopping in the middle of.

So yeah it really doesn't apply to AA itself anymore.

Ibblebibble
Nov 12, 2013

Yeah, I'm aware of the one actual successful AA LP. It's just that with this one as a blind LP, there's no guarantee that we'll get to AA 2. If DKII was starting from AA 2 then I wouldn't worry, but they're not so yeah.

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
Worst case is they get bored/distracted/whatever comes up and it gets abandoned which, whatever.

If someone wants to do a LP, putting in some effort, and not doing some hosed-up game, I don't see any reason to talk them out of it.

Yeah I did a similar style visual novel a couple years ago and managed to get through it. This one's been fun so far - I think playing blind is keeping me more engaged.

I'll go look at polsy too.

Oh, I wasn't trying to talk anyone out of it. It was a very sincere "good luck".

Will you be doing the ones that begin numerically before or afterwards? Where would the ones that start with symbols fit in?

Also how do we define symbol priority? Is it based off the shift key and the number line on the keyboard? Because ! trumps ^ in that regard.
