The only LP I've "abandoned" is one nobody will miss because of how dire of a game it was. :v:

yeah no, that LP was finished by mutual agreement. You might not have gotten to the end of the narrative, but it was definitely finished :gibs:

I still hold that because of how no one here has managed to finish an LP of either one, Wild Arms XF and Devil Survivor 1 are the most cursed games to LP.

Sorta toying with the idea of doing an LP again. Is 800 x 600 still the max size for the archives? And what's the recommended way to batch upload things to Lpix nowadays? I'm very old and out of touch :corsair:

900 pixel width is the main limit, not sure if there is a specific height limit.

Also ShareX is the best utility I can think of for the purpose.

900px is the max width, now. There’s no height limit as far as I know.

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
It'd be nice to at least bump it up to a nice 960px width, so it'd be a clean 50% resize of 1080p.

Have there been measures taken regarding gfycat shutting down at the beginning of September? Imgur made a lot of noise but I'm pretty sure a bunch of stuff on the archive uses gfycat sometimes, often for critical scenes too, and I don't remember much discussion either.

I was considering an LP of a pokemon romhack last year. Asked for advice in the Discord and people were like "Don't LP pokemon you're gonna hate yourself for it" so I didn't.

Pokemon LPs have a bit of a reputation for people getting weird about them. They were even outright banned for a while.

If you really want to do it, go ahead, but you should strongly consider whether you want any audience participation or not.

It was over ten years ago, I think during slowbeef's tenure, and I don't think they were outright banned, you just needed to get permission. I think the rationale was that they were often low-effort and anyone who cared enough to get permission generally put in the effort.

It's mostly that newer posters flooded the forum with them. Yeah, there were a few weird LPs, but it was mostly being drowned in quantity while not having much setting them apart.

That eventually got lifted, and honestly there's enough variation with Pokemon between the various spin-off games, ROM hacks, and challenges that it's simple to find a unique spin on doing one.

IIRC, a goon LPing one of the games - I think Mystery Dungeon, the roguelike spinoff? - was going through some serious mental poo poo that goons were egging on or stalking, and it was coming across in the LP, so slowbeef decreed a ban or at least by-permission-only rule for Pokemon LPs.

No, he was the guy who wanted someone to LP his favorite Pokemon romhack, the one where all the Pokemon are replaced with naked women and girls and you torture and rape them there's a market area in it where you can buy women who've had their limbs amputated specifically so that they can't escape from their life of sex slavery.

The reverse recruitment guy was like almost a decade ago or more now.

Fajita Queen posted:

Yeah Delphisage was the "why are all these 7 year olds in my animes so drat hot?" guy. How he didn't get perma'd for that one and caught one for something else relatively innocuous instead I'll never loving know.

I think everyone realized that Delphi suffered from a very severe mental disorder or was massively on the spectrum in some form, and so people were being uncommonly patient with him. His perma was more a lifetime achievement award.

That being said...

LP has been home to many sex weirdos over the years. I don't blame anyone for conflating them.
