web Is this name really offensive?
Passion replied to A French Derpy full of Salt's topic in Media Discussion
Appreciate bringing the origin to my attention, duly noted. However, we also do not live in 16th century anymore. Language evolves, and it is not the current society that poisoned the word with its meaning. You can call people what you want, but it seems that, after more careful read this word has been used as a derogatory description even back 500 years ago. Sure it held different meaning. Its current known vulgar meaning seems to be around for at least a hundred years. Generations have been raised in reality where this word is not exactly associated with sticks anymore, that meaning is vastly historical. And while the explanation provided indeed serves as proper explanation as to where the word itself is based, it fails to acknowledge that its has been twisted across hundreds of years, with its current result as we see today. If OP wanted to call the character a bunch of sticks, nobody can stop them. But refusing to acknowledge the meanings into which the word has grown into over centuries would be their own fallacy to commit. While I understand the reasoning of people jumping to conclusions too easily, at once the intended use of the word as combination would be at the very least provocative knowing the modern era meaning behind it. And the fact this thread exists for confirmation that it would not be received as such confirms that OP knows of its alternate meanings. -

@Pathfinder So, it's been years now. Have you managed to find the path in the end?

Man, I still remember the days before EQG was released and so many people including myself were skeptical, and then it gave us this, one of the most beautiful songs imho that the MLP has given birth to:

Eh, I do remember all the negative attention it was getting. After all I had mixed feelings myself. In the end I doubt it deserved it.
And yeah @Pathfinder, I remember watching it, and figured it was good. It's silly because it's the only ever MLP related movie I've been to cinema with my niece, and I remember that when it ended people started leaving. I stayed, because that song hits me harder than the entirety of the movie itself.

@KujamihIt had a limited release in theaters

Hmm, yes, I wonder... -
TFW you have dozens of notifications and all of them are about people posting topics in OH... I mean, OUotA. My time has passed, long ago.

Because she's an implied free-spirited airhead. I am amused seeing people try ro reverse-engineer this as if it was a complex rocket science example, but in reality it's most probably an indicator that one of her personality traits will be that of a reckless ditzy-do. -
This game is a little bit more than I signed up for
Nice story, great for chillout, pretty graphics. But man if the narrative doesn't know when to stop sometimes.

In between all the DOOMs, Warframes, Starcrafts, various MMOs and all those flashy games with over-the-top stylized appearances, graphics, stories etc, I found Haven. And after reading a synopsis, I figured it's different. Added it to Wishlist to check out one day, and the day has come.
So far from the few hours I've spent in it, it's really relaxing. Obviously it's story driven, so it's more of an interactive... I don't know, book? Movie? Still, it's different enough for me to want to keep playing as a little distraction from all the regular games. And so far, it seems to be doing good. -

I had to chew this information for quite a while. I don't know why but I took Daft Punk for granted. It's silly. I never listened to them directly. But now that they're gone, I recognize that their music accompanied me throughout my entire life, in background. Just as they wanted to remain. I am not able to express with words how saddening it is to me to see yet another iconic band eventually fade away. Their talent was undeniable:

I know a bunch of people over the internet whom, if I've met, I'd take to have a pint of ale with. With exception of @Duality. That man and I would find ourselves sitting in comfy chairs in a room only lit dimly by a fireplace, and the pint of ale would be replaced with a 1988' Merlot Collio Russiz while the resounding (mildly, mind you) words like "quite" and "indeed" echo in the room.

Just so you know, I will be judging this Jeric.

It's been many years, how's it going MLPForums?
Passion commented on Harmonic Revelations's blog entry in Harmonic's Blog Redux
This tiny entry here has more people I've expected not to see again than any recent ones I"ve seen in past 2 years. And I've seen some stuff... But I digress... ...YOU. I shall not lie when I say I recognize the name, but not the person. Back in late 2013 I was too preoccupied in getting accustomed to new forums and being pulled into some really wicked shenanigans to express interest in all the active members at the time. EDIT: To explain: I was on different forums but was peeking on MLPF at all times And for heaven's sake, I forgot about the belly buttons stuff, why would you bring that up again!? D: -
YouTube consistently keeps forgetting that they pretty much own a miniscule amount of vids. Their funds come from creativity of others, there is just that far you can push the hurdle for both creators and audience to become tired of your bs. Should people cease posting content there and move elsewhere, it would quickly make YT rethink their approach.

Now this IS a face and name well known to me. Time passess mercilessly and there's nothing we can do about it. This was a top class actor, nothing less to say. A lot more. So many classics and top notch movies starring him, I thoroughly enjoyed most of them. And his acting obviously made it better. Not to mention that he never lost his touch over all those years, he had this profession in blood as the movies have proved. That's a big loss.

technology You do NOT own digital media
Passion replied to Fluttershutter's topic in Media Discussion
Non-physical media also cannot be resold, unlike physical media. More than that, issue with digital media is that law has not yet recognized that these are nothing more but typical service type agreements. When you go to a barber, you buy a service of having your hair done. When you buy a game, you buy a LIFETIME service to using that game on the host's platform. As long as you don't break their rules. However when it comes down to Steam they CANNOT lawfully remove your access to games. They CAN if they have to cut your internet access through their platform but you would still be able to play offline any games you own on their platform. The whole digital media market is nothing but means of stripping consumers off of their rights. Law encompasses physical objects, but no detailed laws exist for digital products. That's why companies can afford saying that you "resign from right to refunds the moment payment is done". Like, what the hell... And we ALLOW it, through incompetence and corruption of majority of governments. -
Art contest - September-October 2020
Passion replied to Sun Princess Celestia's topic in Older Events
Why is this contest still running considering this exists? ;x -
Compare men vs women Olympic world records and see which sex holds more records. I see a pattern there, where physical differences play a major role. Now, as long as there really are no problems with allowing women competing against men, biology sadly dictates that they would not be able to reach top places in vast majority of competitions. It's not a matter of not allowing women to compete. It's about it making no sense from competitive standpoint. The physical differences between the sexes are just plainly visible and reflected in statistical data.

gaming Can multiplayer horror games be actually scary?
Passion replied to Vefka's topic in Media Discussion
Youtubers live off of this. Like every entertainer, actor and so on, they have learned reactions expected by audience. Mark in particular is one of people who is NOT scared of games as he played horrors for years, but he gives a show for the audience because thats what audience wants. If you look at his older videos, like very old from amnesia days, you will see the difference on how he changed. I suspect that devs of the games approach him straightforward at times saying "We will pay you if you play our game to promote it and if you can sell it as if you were genuinely scared of it, because that's what we're aiming at." It's normal in industry when you're big enough. As for multiplayer games... only with correct people. With people who will read the atmosphere along and will not goof around.
On my Xbox right now and I check for it and it is on Game Pass! Installing it now. .png ":)")
Glad you reminded me of it because i remember having some intrigue towards it when it launched but I completely forgot about it.
