Similar to the Skippy situation, it looks like The Dark Id's YT channel got nuked at some point. Is there any known archive of it? It's not a catastrophic loss considering he mostly made screenshot LPs, but it's still a huge loss.

Commander Keene: Dec 21, 2016; Faster than the others

Yeah, IIRC Squenix turbofucked his account by copyright-striking all of the Drakengard videos simultaneously, which nuked his account because if you get a certain number of strikes in a short period YT auto-deletes your account. I don't know if there are any alternatives to the now nonfunctional YT links in the LPs, but none of the ones I checked on the Archive had the Internet Archive banner, so it's not super likely anything exists.

Any interest in a Parkitect LP? Probably screenshots, with the occasional track ride video tour.

For those unacquainted, it's an amusement park management sim from 2018. Very similar to the rollercoaster tycoon games of old, but with mechanics for guests desiring immersion - aka, a bunch of decor for rides and shops, to hide their underlying services.

As for the theme of the park, it'll be focused on different forms of the apocalypse. Doom without the gloom! Sections of the park will be dedicated to the various ways the world ends - alien invasion, climate change, biblical Armageddon, etc. I'll figure out different ways to theme architecture and ride designs to each topic - while also staying educational!

My only claim is finishing someone else's thread, never started one of my own. I think that makes me an over-achiever here.

I find this fact makes it one of the best LPs I've ever read, even if I do have to wait months between new posts. :allears:

Going by projects I thought about and then gave up on because I'm bad at coming up with commentary and other reasons I'm at like 5 to 3 or something.

I've abandoned two LP's so far, some may say that's far too few.

I have no idea how much longer Library of Ruina is going to take, but I must sincerely accept that it might be done before the next big Project Moon game comes out, meaning I will be at a loss for what to do with my time.

Maybe I'll write something original idk.

This is a big part of why when I LP'd an MMO, I identified a clear point to end the LP rather than making an open-ended commitment.

I have finished every LP I've started to date, but that experience thoroughly disabused me of every LPing another game when I'm not feeling confident that the game's received all the DLC it ever will.

In fairness, I started Disco Elysium, worked on that for a bit, then started P5R in the middle of that one, finished DE, then started 13 Sentinels and finished it while also working on P5R the whole time.

Also, I'm doing a lot more work on Royal than I did for the original.
