Make a Life Upgrade to Sony's PlayStation!

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Not all LPs do this. It's extremely common, but there are also LP's done by people who genuinely love a game and want to share it and provide context for others. This seems to be more common for older games, when people do it. Similarly, some people use subtitles and are pretty unintrusive!

I still haven't gotten through it, but the Alone in the Dark LP on the archive is so far a love letter to it as a piece of gaming history and the person who did it knew a LOT. As a kid who got into games in the late 90's it's very interesting for me to see how different computer games were just before my time.
