Might not mean much coming from me since I've barely engaged with the let's play forums or with this topic at all, but thank you for the work you've put into this. As far as I'm concerned, feel free to put it aside for the sake of your own well being. I hope you'll feel better soon :catplanet:

I guess this is the closest thread for thing being relevant...?

raocow's channel is getting a bunch of new playlists added today. And I noticed that raocow.com wasn't loading about 20 minutes ago, although it's working now. Might be a coincidence?

That's rather strange timing. Starting some time last night, adding videos to playlists stopped working for me so I haven't been able to add the last two Wandersong videos nor today's YUMP2 video to their respective playlists. Which is apparently no longer important to bother with.

I still liked the local playlists here, but man yeah the site has been really struggling for a while. has to do with google's api, or so I was told.

Putting the next video of a clearly-labeled series in the play-next slot, or at least near the top of the recommended videos, seems to be one of those things YouTube used to be pretty good about but has regressed significantly. That and remembering my place in videos i watch partway through and come back to rather than loading them from the beginning, which has turned into a crapshoot whether it works or not in recent years.

Playlists are really helpful for revisiting old series, so thanks to raocow for the effort of going through such a huge back-catalog. Some of raocow's LPs are on individual fan-made playlists, and the lists on this site are good, but having them all organized on raocow's channel will be nice. I'll have to give some old favorites a re-watch when they go up.

2008

series part 1
recommended videos: series part 2-7

2018

series part 1
recommended videos: 1/2 videos you already watched, 1/2 just whatever's driving the most ad revenue at the moment
Well it is a decent hack but sometime its just too repetitif there no level that actually pop in your face and your like oh yeah that level they all ressemble themselves and just monster along the way.

Ah, I actually forgot that this site did that. I should've specified that my problem was an issue on Youtube itself. When I click the button to add a video to a playlist there (which I've been doing for your videos since some point a month or two after the start of your All the Sonics lp) the screen now just goes dark and doesn't bring up a dialog box like it should. Definitely an issue with Youtube though that's not surprising since the shitty Polymer layout doesn't work worth a damn on anything that isn't Chrome-based.

I don't want needless replays, they take time away from gems such as Spelunky 2

Is he actually planning on playing that? It really doesn't seem like the sort of game raocow would lp since it's a rogue-like and fairly open-ended.

Looks fine to me. Not really a fan of the art style but the puzzle mechanics look like they could be pretty interesting.

The backstory: I emailed the developer about one of his earlier freeware games, and he graciously gave me a code for this one after I asked him how that game's sales were going. It seemed a little too hard for me, so I asked him instead of me using the code could I give it to raocow to get more exposure of the game, and he said sure. I then offered it to raocow but he said I needed to ask the viewers if they thought this game looked interesting first. So here we are!

My suggestion is Quantumleaper, a game which seems to be a metroidvania and similar to Distorted Travesty, if you put in more puzzles - it even has its own Jeremy... if he were a cat. The main idea of it is that you get a Lost Vikings-esque ability which allows you to switch between two selves with a button, and take advantage of the other player's current position to hold down switches, direct enemies away, and act as a free meat shield for projectiles.

I think it shines in the tilesets. He did mention he's working on the graphics some more, yeah. It worked really well in his previous game, Dark Ball 2, which is likely attributable to how an artificial, metal look works in a game like that.
