On Friendship

After quite some thinking over this past year or so, and even more so these past few weeks. I got quite introspective about friends and friendship. A lot of things have happened, which bring me to my conclusions.   What I have come to realize is that so many people out there truly undervalue friendship and what it means. And more importantly, throw around the word friend at someone without thinking once or twice. Very casually like it is nothing at all. And what it turns out is that people who

Why I don't RP on this website.

So, i have several reasons why I don't wish to RP here, or in most places, some deal with mentality. but allow me to explain.   1. My lack of RP skills   I am very bad at writing, I am just dreadful. And in order to get better, you have to practice, RPing, is good, but see where I am at? I am already stuck. I am woefully inexperienced in any kind of writing. Considering the other reasons I will bring up later, I won't be able to join one in the first place.   My only practice is writing st

Some ponderings on OC design: a history of Tich Pony

I believe I've had a pony OC for over a year, and he's been through a lot. And I feel like there is a reason for this. There were some very important stages that helped shaped and some of the mistakes that were made. The big idea is that TichPony was actually a spinoff character. Since Tich is actually a human, this pony should reflect that character. Let us look.   1. Overall design     Now there is nothing much wrong here, we see a female pony. Nice looking colours, they don't clash and

The Fizz Buzz test and solutions

So on Codecademy, in one of the tracks, you have to solve FizzBuzz. A simple test to see if you can write some of the easy loops and conditional structures in a language.   Fizz Buzz is a game, where you count the numbers, but if a number is divisible by 3 you say "Fizz" and when it is divisible by 5 you say "Buzz". If divisible by both you say "FizzBuzz".   Now their solution is slightly annoying to me as it isn't very elegant and just proposes a very nested if structure. See code below.

An awful confession.

I will confess something, something horrible, something awful, something so shocking it will rock your world.   I used to play MapleStory. And I had several characters. And I just spent a little work using a character simulator called BannedStory. to rebuild how these characters looked a little.   Where does this tie into. As many of you may no, my dead pony OC wears an orange shirt. And subsequently, any character of mine would share this characteristic. Green eyes, blue hair, and orange sh

How we should deal with clopping and cloppers

We are all very much aware of the so called rule 34 of the internet. It states: "If it exists, there is porn of it." It is very famously used to excuse the fact that there is porn of anything out there. And considering the internet is a handy compendium of all media, it also is going to likely contain pony porn somewhere, and it's going to be archived.   Now we know there is a significant amount of it out there if you searched for it. So unsurprisingly, considering the amount of it out there,

Alicorn Twilight Rant

(Reposted from my Tumblr)   Since it’s been officially announced that there will be a princess coronation at the end of the season which will likely turn Twilight Sparkle into an alicorn princess like Celestia, Luna and Cadence. I have heard about much outrage concerning this change. And I want to chip in. What I see as the faults and possible problems with this change.   The first and biggest problem is how final it would be. It would irrevocably change the position of Twilight Sparkle in t

Dabbling in editing

So today I managed (with some help) to edit this. A main problem being having to switch editing programs because Sony Vegas just doesn't cut it anymore.   What basically happens with Vegas, when you import an AVI file into it, you get to not use sound in the file. That is a very, very annoying problem. I cannot change the file type I record in, Fraps locks you into using AVI for encoding. Which to me is fine. But it must be said, it is not alright for a video editing program not to be able to g

Why I don't like working in groups and why my teammates are idiots.

I will rant in two parts here, don't worry.   I don't like team assignments, and this has many reasons. the first reason is, I tend to have to work with people who I would say have very poor analytical skills and generally don't seem to understand how certain good practice works. At times I just think they program things willy nilly, without thinking what the hell they are doing. I constantly feel like these people don't deserve their diploma's, very simply because I cannot understand how they

Dear whoever made Windows 8

I tried, no seriously, I tried, but I am right now at attempt #3   The first time, you said I needed 20GB more free Hard drive space, and so I had to remove a lot of stuff to make this happen, and reluctantly I managed to give you this space, but not before restarting and derping around like hell.   The second time, you started moving my settings, but then you just couldn't help yourself, and you froze midway, I don't know what went wrong, all I know is, it took you a long while to restore m

Steam etiquette

Something I have been noticing lately, people who invite me to a game without prior conversation, without bothering to ask if I have the time, or if I was in the mood to play. This happens more often then I want to, pop up with a invite to a game.   It's kind of rude when you just invite without asking, ask first, then when I say yes, send me an invite.Not this, it's annoying. Because I often don't have time.   No, I am not going to shut down Steam for it. I have time to maybe chat, not play

The educational system: a short rant on what could be done to fix it.

I am someone in heavy support of replacing most of the things within education which don't make sense anymore or are indicative of a system behind the time.   My first proposal, introduce video lectures as a main means of bringing new knowledge to students. I often see in my own classes how teachers are interrupted, have to struggle using the logistics of the classroom, stumble over their own words. There are many reasons why teaching by professing or lecturing is not optimal and frankly a was

Brohooves as a measure of success

Even though many will see brohoofs as a pointless numerical value or as an addition of no value. While other attach much of an importance to how high the number is regardless of what they post.   I instead see it as a measure of how successful I am. With each post I make, place though in, take time to write, think up and place out there for all to see. It's not hard to overlook a could things about it.   If someone agrees with it and thinks it's a well written, brings a good argument, they w

Personal Rant on Recent Events

I am posting this song because this is how I feel about you. And many will know who I am talking about.   I'm not upset, I am merely distraught with you dumping me. And I in retrospect, I have learned my lessons from this. But I do expect you from now on not to lend you any courtesy, or lend you any.kind of friendship. I don't want to talk to you for what you said when you dumped me. What you said was really harsh and was really an unfair blow to me.   What I have learned is, you decided not to

Roleplaying and problems with storytelling

There is a reason I don't role play and a reason, on this forum or anywhere else. And I will explain some of the gripes I have with role playing, as it may explain what could be done if you want to entice me. I won't be talking about specific gripes with people, or time zones, but other inherent problems.   Lack of endgame   Most role plays will have a huge problem with this one. Lacking an endgame means the characters lack a goal. Usually an endgame should be resolving an event, or getting

Interest in Mine Little Pony OC skins to support the forums?

So here's the story, I once had a commissions topic (now closed and hidden) for skins for this mod, I would charge $3 for a skin to be made.   Now the problem was, nopony was very interested, and the mod has since changed around some stuff, So skinning is different. Now if I do see interest in people wanting these. I'll have it reopened and also add some info on people wishing to update their skins. I detailed some of this in my previous blog post.   If you do, I urge you to vote in the pol

Adventures into Skinning for Minecraft

Well, today I decided I wanted to fix an age old problem, my human Minecraft skin. In order to do this I had looked into some more advanced skinning tools. I found MCSkin3D. Played around with it for a bit and managed to create results.   What I had to go from was this picture. But losing the hat. Once I had finished it, it looked slightly bland. The result wasn't bad per se. But I managed to get the hair done nicely.     With the initial step taked, I decided I needed to add somethi
