Looking at the thread that got them perma'd, it's a series of:

Sold something claiming it was intact
Admitted they broke it before sending it when the buyer complained
Offered to refund the buyer, but the buyer still had to pay to ship it back
Then attempted to bullshit Paypal to claw back the refund anyway

So, uh, more than just "sold a broken item."

Does anyone have any feedback before I post this SSLP of Fire Emblem Fates - Conquest?

OP - https://lpix.org/sslptest/index.php?id=163150
Update 1 - https://lpix.org/sslptest/index.php?id=163149
Update 2 - https://lpix.org/sslptest/index.php?id=163148

I think it's mostly fine, but I'd appreciate any criticism.

Firstly, your LP is already 9 out of 10 because you make a Birthright reference. Hats off to that and your good taste.

I'd say if anything I'm sometimes a bit confused about the flow between two screenshots. Things just seem to skip from one to the other and I'm not entirely sure what happened.

Has anyone else ever had to put an LP update on pause because there's just one dumb joke or pun they refuse to give up on and getting it to come together is taking longer than the entire rest of the update?

When I have to give up on a pun that's too labored for its own good I usually mention it in the text of the update just so everyone knows my shame.

This was an enormous impediment during Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, my first ever LP. I will never create a title for anything that's as good as the update titles for the Daein chapters. This isn't because those are good, just because I'm very bad at naming anything.

If imgur is smart, they're starting with the images that are a) old, and b) not being accessed. I'm sure they have terabytes, if not petabytes, of basically idle disk space that could be "freed up" without literally anyone noticing, because the images involved haven't been loaded in the past five years.

That's not a guarantee of course, I'm just saying that recently-posted stuff should be a low priority for them to purge.

I have held off on posting videos for days because I can't think of a witty title for the video. So now I just go with the ho hum "Game Title, Game Area, Part Whatever"

That's why you go with a naming theme, then you can half-rear end an update name and blame it on the naming conventions.

A bunch of goons got together and downloaded all of the imgur images posted on the forums and almost (?) all of the albums. Now the remaining tasks are getting everything uploaded to an SA server and replacing all the imgur links to the self-hosted ones. For more details check out the thread for The Great Imgur Download Caper.

Well, I'll hold out hope that Baldurk gets to my archive requests soon enough. If not, I have all the images still so I can re-upload them if something goes down for whatever reason.


In other news, I'm working on the idea of LPing a puzzle game/point-and-click adventure game blind. I wanted to add on a gimmick, where every time I get stuck and need to get help with the solution, there would be consequences, but I am completely stuck on ideas for what to do.

-I don't do facecam.
-I don't drink.
-I don't want to make myself throw up.

So that rules out a lot of things other people do. I was wondering if anyone could offer suggestions on what they think would be fun things to bear witness to, given these limitations.

Have posters contribute dumb embarrassing things you have to say every time you need a hint. Of course weed out the dumb and offensive suggestions.

Do a spin the wheel with a number of people's suggestions. Don't just choose the easy ones though but don't add anything too difficult like composing an epic poem in iambic pentameter.

How good are your drawing skills? For every hint, you need to draw your interpretation of someone's username who's posted in the thread.
