It was a fun show, though it's idea of ghosts always irritated me a little. They were more like extradimensional beings than ghosts as we know them. Also, ghost DNA? Rather strange. It's too bad they never resolved that storyline with the alternate future Danny, though.

I've listened to quite a lot of Archie's Discography while playing TF2, as well as All Levels At Once, as well as a lot of fandom music in general. Besides that, I listen to whatever is interesting to me at the moment. I was listening to a couple of albums of electroswing/electro-hop a while back, for instance.

I think that bronies stereotyping feminists in general because of the actions of the vitriolic few is just as bad as feminists who stereotype bronies because of that tiny minority of loud jerks who pop up from time to time.

I'm not sure what you mean by circlejerking... I really like seeing people so openly and warmly express such enthusiasm and camaraderie. There's precious little of that on the internet.

It always makes me happy to hear people say this. It really is a pleasure to have this little community of fans in my life, and you all brighten up my day.

Heh, Tumblr has it's own fair share of it, that's for sure. But I've found it's all in where you choose to look and who you choose to listen to. Tumblr has 230 million users- as loud and awful as the people we're thinking of are, I don't think they're the majority. I find all kinds of great artists and cool people, and when I focus on them, it's a great site- same goes for places like reddit. For 4chan, though... I've always had the impression that those things characterized the culture of that site. Though, talking with some people, I wonder if maybe I'm wrong, and if maybe I'm characterizing the whole for the parts that are bad.

Yeah, exactly. The example I heard was Abraham Lincoln. In his time, he was considered pretty ugly, but he's deified in our own age. In the other direction, I think there's more to physical attractiveness than just your body: it's also a matter of posture, carriage, expression, and how you dress yourself, and those are all things that I think can potentially reflect who a person is inwardly. Of course, people can exploit that fact to make themselves seem like more than they are, and there are always people (like me) who don't actually give it much consideration in practice.

Something I think is worth noting is that what you think about a person actually affects how physically attractive they seem to you.

Gone Home is a magnificent game that doesn't deserve the hate some people give it. Dismissing it as a "walking simulator" and "not a game" completely misses everything that makes it such a compelling experience. I've never played a game like it before- it took what Dear Esther did and moved in wonderful new directions.

Hmm... Technicall, I'd consider games in general to be works of art, in the same way I would consider music and film in general to be art. Basically, I think of all creative work as art on a basic level. In the sense of being something truly beautiful, inspiring, and emotionally captivating... Ocarina of Time, Shadow of the Colossus, Final Fantasy X, Bioshock, Gone Home, and Dear Esther, to name a few. It's not just about stories and experiences, though, though those are certainly where I focus. Some games I've found to be magnificent in how well put together they are, in how well they play. Dungeons of Dredmor is very satisfying in the attention and forethought it demands from you. You have to have a plan for your character, for your playthrough, and for individual encounters (especially those Monster Zoos).

I remember the time I decided to try out /mlp/. It was awful. Just... so much cynicism, bitterness, and anger. It was very unpleasant.
