Hey Slowbeef, can you link to your Dark Souls LP?

So I have a question, and honestly here is just as good as anywhere to ask...

I actually want to be "good" at LP, I want to make 12k a year, and I want the attention. I've done a couple of screenshot LPs, and I have a lot of fun doing it. What would you guys say constitutes a "good" LP. I've noticed other SA LP'rs will throw in "FundMe" links in their description, asking for people to donate a buck or two. How far is too far where SA is concerned? If I am doing an LP to ultimately have a good LP, but want to be popular can I still post it here? (Obviously, not an already finished LP trying to whore for views, but where is the line drawn?)

Technically, he's not asking for money on-site. As far as I can see, that stuff stays firmly in video descriptions.

I forgot the word "Video" in my first post. :blush: I definitely know there is a difference between asking for money in thread, and asking for it in the video description.

I prefer to keep private issues between you and me private. A little birdie told me you insulted me, in public, again, and so I checked it out. I thought maybe if you had some issue with me we could handle it like people instead of behind each other's backs. I'm not going to forget that you personally insulted me here as well as passed along gossip about me that wasn't true - but that matter again is between you and me, and has nothing to do with everyone else on this forum. You know where to find me if you want to discuss the matter further but I won't discuss it further here. I've already tried to contact you, and this is what you chose to do.

Here's an idea, instead of AGAIN poking fun at me here, why don't you *shock* private message me either here or my channel or google plus?

I'm not posting LPs here for reasons - and you guys should be happy with that. If my existence bothers you so much, then fine, make fun of me all you want because obviously it makes you feel better.

Now watch me go on probation yet again for actually giving my side of the discussion and trying to be civil.

Oh my god grow up you loving loser.

Heya Youtubers! Remember, if you're ever raped, whether it's by the statistically unlikely stranger-in-an-alley, or by someone you look up to and admire and takes advantage of that situation, make sure to behave "like a rape victim" or else no one will believe you!

*JUMP CUT. COOL INTRO TO MY YOUTUBE SHOW PLAYS. JUMPCUT BACK TO FACE CAM*

Rape reporting! It's the "DARK SOULS" of justice! Ha ha, videogames. Well if you wanna beat the ~final boss~ of THIS heinous situation, here's some PRO TIPS I've gleaned from the culture I'm surrounded by, which I cannot call a "rape culture" unless people are constantly raping each other in the streets, or so that culture has told me in ALLCAPS many times.

*FOLLOWING PLAYS OUT LIKE A BUZZFEED STYLE LISTICLE. BOLD RED "NO" STYLE DESIGN. UTILIZE AIRHORNS OR SAD TROMBONES MAYBE?*

NEVER:
-Tell anyone what happened except the police/hospital.
-Write any blogposts about it, ever. This will be interpreted as "attention seeking." No one wants to know about your rape, ugh! You need to suffer in private, that's the correct way.
-Act happy or normal, do normal things like go to work (even if you need money to live), attend parties, or use social media the way you normally do.
-Try to go on with your life, in denial that something happened.
-Wait any amount of time follow up on pursuing court-justice for any reason at all. You should be able to talk about this scary event in great detail to total strangers who are fed up with your poo poo from minute one.
-Give yourself any time to process what happened.

*LISTICLE CONTINUES, WITH POSITIVE DESIGN/COLOR CHOICES. HAPPY PUNKY POP MUSIC MAYBE??*

ALWAYS:
-Get away from the person immediately because that's obviously very possible in all circumstances, especially mentally abusive situations!
-Go to the police immediately, talk to surly strangers asking if you were dressed too slutty that night. They're just making sure you didn't deserve it!
-Go to the hospital immediately to get drug-tested (You have a car, right? You can leave, right? You're not drugged TOO much that you can't operate a vehicle or take a bus, right?), get a traumatizing and invasive rape kit done immediately (All this costs money in many states, I think?)
-Process the rape kit fully (costs money in most states, I think?) By the way, you should do this quickly, or else the police department might destroy your rape kit cuz it's wasting space at the station!
-Go to court and see your rapist again in court (Hope you have money for court fees!)
-Have a defense lawyer go through your entire personal history to make sure you "weren't asking for it" in any way.
-If possible, go back in time and make sure you never committed any sin since you've ever been on social media. Even a sarcastic or joking quip made by you years ago about how you love the dick can and will be used against you in a court of law!
-Have your entire history and personality dissected on the stand, and have to recount the assault multiple times to dozens of people over and over again. Don't show too MUCH or too LITTLE emotion when doing this, by the way! It could ruin your case!

*JUMP CUT BACK TO FACE CAM*

If you followed these simple steps and "behaved like a rape victim" correctly, congrats! You now have liiiike a 40% chance, tops, provided that you did all of those things 100% correctly. [[EDITOR'S NOTE: Statistics on convictions vary a lot, and it's too hard to look up the ones that succeeded due to "acting correctly", but I've got the feeling that 40% is a pretty generous percentage.]]

And if you falsely accused someone of rape, then whatever, none of this matters because apparently falsely accusing is super easy and fun to do, with zero bad consequences personally or professionally! Feel free to rake in all that....... something......beneficial......??? Whatever it is, it's gotta be great for women to be falsely accusing men ..... hardly ever? I think?? Statistics are like ridiculously hard to figure out with this?
