AnoHito posted:The problem with that on youtube, for example, is that there's always going to be those assholes that say that you savescummed even if you don't. Wait, are we talking about for challenge runs or just general LPs? 'Cause who gives a gently caress if an lper savescumms to make his life easier to make a good LP?

Outside of gimmicks like Vicas' LP (which wasn't even a facecam) I don't think they are particularly useful for full blown LPs, but frankly streams are a completely different matter. As a general rule streaming is really relaxed and not meant to be fully informative so either blocking out some unimportant HUD information or shrinking the screen down a little isn't really a big deal. The interaction with the audience is also far more direct and immediate than with youtube LPs or even SA threads.

BMS posted:Probably around the same time the general consensus on SA decided that LP's were "art" of some form, and that people shouldn't make fun of people that take them super seriously that aren't making a living off of them. GOTTA PROTECT THAT ORIGINAL LP CONTENT YO. I mean, when the LP museums start opening up, what, you expect people who create the David's and Mona Lisa's of LPs NOT to be credited for their fine contribution to human society? LPers aren't nerds, we're visionaries! I don't remember that consensus ever happening. What I do remember was people getting tired of being insulted because they actually wanted to put effort into their LPs. Also people getting tired of this argument.

Spielmeister posted:Most of that seems to be a rant about the most recent Retsutalk where Beef and Betus talked about Patreon and viewers gifting them games on Steam and their best guess as to why people do that, and the fact that they run ads on their videos in general. I have no idea what he's talking about with the click-bait custom thumbnails though. The funny part is on that retsutalk video, he made this comment, which doesn't appear to have anything to do with literally anything in the podcast quote:I just figured something out about these two fuckwits and SA as a whole:

ChaosArgate posted:Who knows, but it leads to things like people getting flagged for 4'33". As funny as that little trick was, what actually happened with the 4'33" was that the user had uploaded an actual song and it got hit and the audio removed. After a while the strike was removed or something and the audio was actually added back and ruined the joke (although I don't remember what the actual song was anymore.)

slowbeef posted:At RTX last year, I had a fan come up and tell me a really nice thing. He'd moved to a new city entirely, had no family, friends in the area and he was kinda down about it. So he watched Darkseed 2 and he thanked me for getting him through a rough period in his life. He was totally normal and cool about it - he admitted it's weird to have a YouTube video series get you through some poo poo, but he eventually settled in, etc. I originally decided not to post but since the topic came up here's my own stupid story: A couple years ago I had lost my job as well as my long term girlfriend at roughly the same time. I didn't have a social life but shortly after that I stumbled onto Retsupurae. I basically marathoned the entire library that summer while I tried to get over everything that had happened and not turn to alcoholism while looking for a new job. It really did help me get through a tough time as suicide certainly was something that had occurred to me and instead I just watched King's Quest. It's a bizarre feeling; like as time went on it was almost like listening to a couple of your buddies talk but in reality you know that they don't know or care who you are. Eventually I realized that there was a very real problem that I had traded actual social activity for watching youtube videos. I know that there is a similar issue with some people who watch lots of television; the TV becomes their substitute for an actual life. But I think it's an issue when some shut-ins don't ever have that realization and think there is a two-way connection that exists when it obviously doesn't.

Lazyfire posted:Anyway, has anyone here heard of Low Tier God? He's a guy who streams mostly fighting games and it plain bad at them. He's been called "The Black DSP" because of his constant complaints that happen to be incredibly similar to Phil's. Just watch and see. You can go to his YouTube channel if you want more, but unless you like hearing the words "spreadsheet fighter" then I wouldn't suggest it. Him vs Viscant was some amazing drama and it was awesome watching him cycle through high tier characters and losing.

They aren't, meaning they are as much slaves to the public vices as the corporations they claim to police. I can't tell if this post is ironic or not.

Man, I remember from before youtube was really a thing a site that was basically just these two guys who recorded themselves playing horror games and one was a huge scaredy cat. Had a face cam and everything. Trying to remember the names; it was mac and something but I can't seem to find them. But it was basically the exact thing you expect from modern horror game youtubers. e: Oh gently caress, suddenly came to me. Mack and mesh. Earliest videos from 2005.

Yeah, the problem isn't that people are re-uploading their content, they've literally copyrighted a video style. They've copyrighted (or trademarked or whatever, I don't really care specifically) the very idea of having people react to things on video and now are taking down other peoples videos that are similar in style. It really would be like if slowbeef copyrighted Let's Play and then wouldn't allow other people to commentate over videogames on video.

A couple years back there was an lper who self banned from sa because he didn't want to be part of a site that allowed transphobic jokes (at the time there was a bunch of straight up "I'd murder them with their purse" style "jokes" and other comments, pimarily in gbs of course but still) Been trying to find his videos but I can't remember his name. I think it started with an h. Lastt thing I remember him doing was some shoddy Russian horror game.

He doesn't do let's plays anymore since his LP group disbanded but you can still find some of his old LPs on the LP Archive. I always forget about the internet archive site despite having used it for several similar situations in the past. Thank you. e: actually it looks like the only LP that got archived there was Rogue Warrior.
