I have never read the LP Announcement thread, so that's not a problem for me. :smuggo:

Also I'm incredibly disappointed to hear that. I put so much work into copying that OP verbatim and only changing a couple of words from the last guy who posted it because he got perma'd for randomly posting a thread about how he used his stuffed animals to masturbate when he was younger for some insane reason.

Hello! I've been doing a Baldur's Gate 3 Let's Play (https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4040619) but I recently changed the focus of it. Originally it had been a blind run, but I've decided to end that part of it early and now do a challenge run.

I would like to have the thread name changed if possible, and it was recommended I ask for that here.

Could the name be changed from "Baldur's Gate 3: A Blind Run" to perhaps
"Baldur's Gate 3 Honor Mode: No Long Rests, No Heal Potions, No Mercy!"

Thanks!

Congrats on taking that step! My first and last experience in that venture was 8 years ago with a very nice person who I always felt like they deserved better than what I offered. It was during a time when my mental health was in decline and a lot of other fun things involved surrounding it were in full force. But I did try to engage in conversation, put some research into some things and made notes to talk about in later recordings.

You'll learn and grow with each experience, it's one thing to hear commentary and another thing to provide it yourself. Co-commentary is another ball game entirely. I've always been open to co-commenting again but since my second child unexpectedly burst onto the scene I've kept to solo projects as my free time has been strictly limited over the years. It's also hard to organise anything when I have no real idea what's happening in my own life.

I've listened to the LP while typing and you're doing fine and I can hear in your voice that you're starting to relax the longer that it progresses. I've been avoiding FF LPs as I've been slowly working my way through the series over the last few years and recently completed IX so I'm not wanting to get ahead of things too much, but Covok sounds pretty chill.

I got the will to drive myself sleepless
I'm currently in the planning stages for a new let's play that I think will be pretty good, but I should probably get approval before going ahead with it the way I plan to. The game in question is Fear & Hunger, and while I don't think it runs afoul of anything within the Let's Play Forum rules for SA (At least, as long as I'm reasonably upfront with what to expect from the game), it'd probably be prudent to get approval before doing it anyway. I'll be creating a test post here for a hypothetical thread, and if the mod team would rather I not press on, I fully understand and will pursue other projects. I'd highly advise looking up information on this game after reading this post to determine whether or not it's suitable for the forum.

Thread Title: What's the most you've ever lost in a coin toss? Let's Play Fear & Hunger!



*CONTENT WARNING!*: Fear & Hunger is an extremely grimdark game with plenty of content some may find upsetting. The game contains scenes of mutilation, sexual violence, body horror, exposed genitalia (both heavily deformed varieties as well as the occasional nude though not really graphic human sprite), drug use and themes of suicide and mental breakdowns. Essentially if it seems like a really edgy thing to put in a game, Fear & Hunger probably at least references it. Viewer discretion is strongly advised.

The Game

Fear & Hunger is a 2018 horror/Role-playing game made in RPG maker with extremely spaghetti custom code, created by Finnish independent developer Miro Haverinen AKA Happy Paintings AKA Orange~. (Mans is like a rapper with all these aliases) Billed as a horror dungeon crawler with roguelike and JRPG elements (though the roguelike aspect is about as tacked on and loose as that term gets), the game is an unholy conglomeration of trial-and-error, buggy coding and edge. Heavily inspired by Berserk, (by orange's own admission and obvious to anyone who has read/seen the series) Fear & Hunger seems to have been made under the impression Darkest Dungeon was too cheery and optimistic and decides to approach the medieval fantasy genre in the most grimdark way imaginable. The usual suspects of permadeath and sanity decay are present, but Fear & Hunger also features the possibility of permanent limb loss, death by infection, states where the game is technically playable but effectively unwinnable, and loads of beginner traps where the only way to realistically get around them is either blunder into them and use the knowledge gained to avoid that in the future, or use a guide. In terms of atmosphere and story content, the game is unashamedly edgy and checks all the boxes you'd expect for a Grimdark game. While my sardonic approach to describing all this might sound negative, I actually really love the game for how much it does not care what people will think of it, and I respect how hard it goes. And if you're willing to put up with the transparently unfair gameplay loop, this game is great fun to delve into and learn about, and is very rich in tension. And I hope to demonstrate why I think it's pretty great to you, the viewer, with this let's play!

The Let's Play

Per my standard, we'll be delving into this game about deep as I can go without dedicating my life to it. We'll be completing successful runs of the game with all characters, obtaining all endings in the standard game, and then obtaining each character specific ending in the game's ultra-sadistic Hard Mode. We'll also be doing at least one playthrough of the parody dating sim mode the game gives you a code for upon completion, though I will not personally commit to every ending you can obtain from that. I will also be sure to show off as many major worthwhile secrets in the game that might be worth routing into a playthrough if you were tackling the game yourself. For anything I don't feel is worth personally going for but I feel is notable enough, I'll likely link to videos from the channel NoCommentary, a Fear & Hunger fan channel that contains videos for just about any obscure event or secret you could possibly think of contained in both games in the series. With all that being said,

The Videos

*IMPORTANT NOTE*: While a censorship mod does exist for the game, it excises about 30-35% of the graphics from the game. Having to describe what you're supposed to see would get old fast, so I won't be using it. It's also highly impractical for me to censor anything I'd feel worth it personally, as it would turn the videos into an editing nightmare. With that established, these videos will be covering the unmodified game, and thus I will be age-restricting them as to not run afoul of Youtube's guidelines. While I sincerely doubt anyone under the age of 18 will be seeing this thread, it is worth noting you will need a Youtube account with the age tied to the account being 18 or over to actually watch these videos.


That's my pitch. As I said, if the mod team objects to this game being featured on the forum, I fully understand and will just focus on other less triggering things.
