CirclMastr has a blind playthrough of The Witcher ongoing at the moment: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3890773 I could take a stab at an informative, and maybe more concise, LP at some point in the future but I have my plate full at the moment. Also, I don't really want to step on CirclMastr's toes as his LP is still very active right now. I've only just finished the fourth book so my knowledge of the lore is only half complete at this moment in time. I'll see where things are at in a few months but I'll definitely give it some serious consideration. If anyone else wants to take up the reigns though, feel free.

I'm sorry about your loss. I found Zorak's LP of Endless Ocean 2 pretty chilled out, for the most part, the commentary can get a little loud here and there but there was something pretty relaxing about watching someone explore underwater worlds. It's pretty amusing at times too.

I'm not a good speaker in any form but so far all of my LP's have been video and most of them I've done commentary on the fly. I'm well aware that I stutter and am prone to mispronunciation when I get nervous. I'm my own biggest critic, I wont go into details of the anxiety of starting a new LP. If you have the software then you could always do post-commentary, which means you can have more control over what you're saying and when. I'd like to echo what aniEhilated and Strategic Sage said. My first LP was a game that I was passionate about, I had a lovely mic and the most basic of software and it's still my most watched LP eight years later. Even after investing in new equipment and software over time. I had no idea what I was doing at the time apart from trying to emulate other people's formats. Do what you feel is within your boundaries. If you're wanting to cut your teeth with co-commentary then I'm sure someone will be interested. If you want to start with subtitles then build up then that's fine. If you're passionate about the game it will show regardless, whatever you decide the effort will be noticed. Good luck with getting the LP started! Edit: Has co-commentary requests been moved to one of the pinned threads or is it still in it's own separate thread?

I would request an LP of Total Distortion but I think it would be cruel to inflict such an ordeal upon another person. It was on my list but there's no way that I'd be able to take it on anytime soon, my test runs have resulted upon abysmal failure and I'm not even sure if anyone has been able to take it on legitimately from start to finish even on easy mode. I believe that if anyone does complete it on the hardest mode they will be crowned the King of Moldova. This is one of those games that requires a masochistic personality and a healthy dose of LSD to endure it. If anyone does take it on from start to end, I'll happily throw in a forums upgrade or a charity donation. If no one does then I might take it on at some point before I retire, I'd just prefer it if someone else would take it on.

Lemniscate Blue posted:I enjoy having LP videos playing on a spare monitor when I'm working, usually laid-back colony builder type games (Surviving Mars and Frostpunk, notably). What doesn't help me relax is watching LPers flail around making stupid decisions and being confused because they didn't read what the tooltop just told them, or ignore the flashing notification, or have the attention span of a squirrel on meth and forget what they were about to do and leave a task uncompleted for a whole video. Strategic Sage posted:I will have the affrontery to note that in the early days of my channel I did a Frostpunk LP shortly after launch which I think fits this description, although I'll let others assess my intellect or lack thereof I've been slowly catching up with the Dawn Of Man LP by Strategic Sage and I've been enjoying it. He is methodical in his approach, explains the mechanics, what he is doing and why he is doing it. He also has taken the time to talk more in depth about the time period and the way of life back then. I still have a few videos to watch and I'm intending to watch more of the series that he is doing. Dawn Of Man is in the archives if you want to check it out: https://lparchive.org/Dawn-of-Man/

. Due to when it was recorded, it does not have all the more recent changes and bells and whistles, and some of what I did there (particularly as it relates to hunting) would not fly now due to changes that have been patched in since. I think the more recent Dawn of Man and Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom also fit the laid-back city-builder vibe, though they do have somewhat of a more historical focus which may or may not interest you.

Once in a blue moon, I'm reminded about Abomination: The Nemesis Project, but this time I've decided to post about it and I'm not sure whether this is a request, a threat or a general enquiry. I remember playing this a couple of decades ago, enjoying it a lot but becoming burnt out by the time it came mid to the late-game scenarios. From what I remember, this was a response to the X-Com series in the 90s and its selling point was that it was real-time instead of turn-based but without anything that endeared people to X-Com. I'm tempted to throw this one at someone who hasn't LP'd in a few years.

I'll include Hidden Evi if I do but right now I'm smack bang in the middle of one project and nearing the end of another, but I already have something lined up when that one is over. if I get around to it then it most likely won't be until at some point in 2022, I'll include Hidden Evil if I do.

I'd like to see an SSLP of The Dream Machine. It's a point and click adventure game, all the characters and locations were built by hand out of clay and cardboard. It's quite suited for the Halloween period as it's creepy and gets quite surreal as it deals with voyeurism and dreams.

Kaboom Dragoon posted:Infamously so, I think the bug wasn't even discovered until years and years after the release of the original XCOM I'm only two months in and I've lost two people in four missions. Both of those people were lost in one mission and I quit out of a mission last night because of the same "Alien Presence" encounter. I don't know if you've encountered it yet but there's a mission type where you encounter half a dozen huge jellyfish type creatures on a very small map, who are massive bullet sponges, can move far and can one-shot your men. I'm not usually one for abandoning a mission when it starts going downhill but I had three of those bastards just descend on my men at the same time, my current weapons are lovely and these things need at least a dozen bullets to be taken down. So far, the mod has been quite interesting. There are a lot of weapon choices very early on after some minor research, a bit too many for my taste as I think too much choice is a bad thing sometimes. There are new mission types with new alien types which seem interesting so far but I haven't read the lore behind some of these choices yet. One of these mission types I've experienced twice and it's quite random playing them without context behind it. The new starting base layout is confusing at first and some of the new room types are very confusing to me at the moment like the Outpost and the inclusion of being able to use a space to add an empty corridor. I'm going to keep playing it, I'm enjoying it so far despite some of the added bullshit on top of the already bullshit game mechanics.

PurpleXVI posted:You know what I just realized I want to see? I have thought about doing Redguard for the fun of it, it's a game that I remember fondly when I was younger and even bought it on GOG a couple of years ago. But it does have some commonly reported performance issues, unfortunately. From what I've read, Dosbox can't handle it, which may be down to it needing to use DOS and Windows to function properly. For an SSLP it's not a problem if things are running slow but there may be some issues when playing the game itself when it comes to the fighting and platforming sequences. I've taken people's suggestions with editing the config files and such and it's definitely playable for me at low resolutions and with the graphics turned down. There isn't an option to run the GOG version in software mode either, which may be a blessing as I believe there is a bug in the software mode which means that you can't complete the game. I've tried using PCem to run the game on Windows 98 and still had performance issues there. That might be down to not allocating enough resources to the emulation or it might be down to it using too many resources in general, I haven't done enough testing there to find out. I'm all up for anyone doing an LP of Redguard, just be prepared that it may need a lot of tweaking to get working effectively. I've just fired up the game and it runs fine on 800x600 with everything turned down to the minimal settings, when I edited DOSBox to increase the window to 1024x768 the game started slowing down then speeding up repeatedly.
