Oh man. So back when I was an idiot moron teenager, I found protonjon’s Kaizo mario videos via TV Tropes. Specifically, the Special Stage video. I was enamored with the idea, and eventually got bit into SSLPs. The Dark Id’s were my favorite, and were what led me to SA. I think the first thread I actively posted in and followed was TDI’s NieR thread.I eventually get it into my head that making LPs can’t be too hard, and so I try my hand at my own SSLP.
It was not to be.
A combination of coming out as trans, leaving SA, re-creating my online identity, and having a depressive breakdown led to that LP falling into the archive and never seeing the light of day again. I basically stayed away from the whole LP-making scene for a while (although ironically, somehow ended up getting to know MORE SA LP peeps than before I left). I’d basically sworn off LPs when this site launched, so I planned to just kinda observe but never get involved.
Then I found this thread.
So here I am, idiot moron adult, actively posting on the forums, and I start thinking “maybe I should give this LP thing another shot”
Anyways that’s my story.
