  1. Obviously, this is just a toy. You can tell from the seams in the fabric and all the plastic parts.... and the fact these ponies can't possibly exist. But even though this is clearly covered in fake fur, it still has the look and feel of fur. And unlike plushies, the eyes are not a solid white. They even have this shine to them like a pair of real eyes with reflective corneas. So what if all those other manufactured details in this Twilight doll were altered? Let's say there were no seams to better resemble the appearance of a four-legged animal. That the wings were just as furry as the rest of the body, the horn was made out of bone, and the irises looked and functioned as they would in a real pair of eyes. Let's say she had the ability to move without all the motorized, mechanical whirring in her head, neck and limbs. That she had a diaphragm that would constantly expand and contract with the flow of air. Let's say there were other essential features present from any biological animal, like warm body temperature, a heartbeat, an ear canal, nostrils, teeth, an asshole, and so on. And on top of all that, try to imagine this Twilight talking to you in her natural sounding voice from the show, while also having the ability to make facial expressions at any point in conservation. Under those conditions, would you say that this doll was the most accurate depiction of how an Equestrian pony would look if they were real, and lived in our world? And if so, would it change your opinion of them?
  2. I don't own a plushie. But of all the ones I got for my niece, the 4DE Trixie's my favorite. I just wish 4DE as a company wasn't so horrible at distribution and customer service. If they'd operated faster and gotten around to making plushies for Zecora or Vinyl, I would have ordered them for myself.
  3. That makes me wonder how you'd take Hatred on the PC. In that game, killing civvies is pretty much what you're supposed to do. Lol.
  4. Clean politicians are a thing of centuries past, I'm afraid. Now they're as fictitious as leprechauns.
  5. Bad things happen all the time when I'm at work. Not all the crime in California's east bay is violent, but it always has that potential to escalate towards violence since the ones who commit theft and burglary act on it like they don't give a fuck what anyone else thinks. And security often takes forever to respond to it. I find that most of the time, the crimes are committed by homeless people and drug addicts. Although lately, I've been seeing more and more thefts carried out by thugs from an organized crime network based in San Francisco. I heard the city government there has put together a small task force to help crack down on their affiliates, and to be honest, I think they should just call themselves a "task farce". It's all a joke. The mayor in that city can't even provide a solution for all the human waste covering the streets there, and given the rate I'm seeing these maggots get away with all their bullshit, I'm not convinced they're making a damned bit of difference. Knowing that all this is happening has not only contributed to my total loss of faith in government on every level, but the police force as a whole. If I had things my way, I'd let private militias operate in every sector of my city. And make bouncers a requirement for all businesses, because it makes no sense for just bars and hotels to have them. But no, our elected officials want us to respect these criminals. They're human just like the rest us, right? Who cares if they treat everyone else as less? I swear in ten years, every city in this putrid liberal state will just become an extension of Oakland. And I can't wait to get the hell out of here. I'm hoping things aren't looking this bleak where you live. But is it?
  6. Just a couple things I forgot to add to the OP: Try not to clutter things up with multiple versions of the same character. Nash in SFV clearly plays different than how he does in the Alpha series, but he's still canonically one in the same. You can specify if you use him in one game or the other, but otherwise, just put "Nash" in one space and leave the rest to other characters. And in case anyone doesn't know, Oni in SFIV is just a more advanced version of Akuma. Even if he does use a different moveset and character model.
  7. If you're older than 30 like me, you'll no doubt remember the original 12 from Street Fighter II. But after 30 years of games, Street Fighter now has close to 90 characters in its total line-up. That includes all the EX characters that are owned by Arika. If you've played all the games that have come out since World Warrior on the SNES, and you had to choose ten of your favorites NOW, who would they be? If you're just coming back into this series and need to catch up to get familiar with them all, I'd recommend downloading the 30th Anniversary Collection that just released, as well as Ultra SFIV, SFV: Arcade Edition, Fighting EX Layer (if you have a PS4), and if you can find it, any version of Final Fight. Gonna start with mine: And since I feel this list will probably change in a couple of years, I'm gonna mention two more. Let's see yours.
  8. I've been to two. My brother's, and a friend's/former-co-worker's. The first one was okay because I got to spend time with old friends and eat a lot of food at the reception. The second, I don't like to think about because of my friend's husband. He seemed cool at first. But as I spoke with him more, I realized he was nothing but a socialist pig. I don't want to be associated with some asshat who's voting to have more of my rights taken from me. And it's because of him, I won't be going to another friend's wedding early next year; that bloated sack of shit got invited before I did.
  9. As I stated in another thread, I find that most single-player games offer little in replayability. But sandbox games like the Hitman series and Deus Ex have a very special place in my heart for one reason: killing innocents. Yeah, in real life, it's cruel and inhumane. No shit. None of that matters in an interactive world filled with people that aren't real, so I don't care what those mediahounds and SJWs have to say. It creates a new layer of depth in games while raising the fun factor. When you think about it, there can be hundreds of NPCs walking around on a map. They have nothing whatsoever to do with your objectives. Yet they're there, and for what? To serve as obstacles. If they witness you commit some violent act on the street, they'll alert guards, give them your description and location, and make progressing through the rest of your mission harder than it has to be. Accomplishing certain tasks without them noticing is a challenge. But it's a bigger challenge to take them out of the equation altogether, by offing them like you would any hostile target. And it's an even BIGGER challenge to do it all with no resistance. To me, there's nothing more satisfying than stalking and eliminating every living person in sight without them ever knowing you were there. Or without them being in a position to do something about it. And it never gets old because it always gives you this sense of empowerment. Like a Predator, only better. Because most of the time, you're playing the "good guy," and even though you're not supposed to be doing that shit, you still have the freedom to kill indiscriminately. That's why it's so goddamned entertaining. You can murder as many people as you want, and at the end of the day, people will still be counting on YOU to stop the bad guy. LMAO. Deus Ex: Human Revolution actually makes it possible to kill Jensen's acquaintances, his boss, and other people that are supposed to be close to him. Like his girlfriend's mom. I remember when she came to me for help on my first playthrough. She wanted me to help gather evidence on her daughter's death, and the conspiracy to cover it up. So I completed the side mission. I gave her all the information she needed at my apartment building. And after I was awarded Praxis Points for doing it, I shanked her to death with my wrist blades, and I laughed my fucking ASS off. Then I went to the Detroit police station. An old partner of mine was sitting at the front desk. I tricked him into letting me in when he had orders not to, and I paid him back by putting a bullet in his head. Right after I'd finished massacring all the other personnel in the building. I'll never forget that hilarious news article I found detailing all the death and destruction I caused there. Or that column that came up on the front page regarding a supposed "gang war" that left civilians dead all over town. Those were MY victims. Lol. That was one of my most enjoyable gaming moments ever, bar none. The advent of playing a game without moral boundaries is more than welcome. Without it, all the games I own would be sitting on a shelf collecting dust, and that's not what I want from my $60. Anyone else agree? If you do, what games do you enjoy that let you play the hero as a sadistic asshole?
  10. Old-school, arcade style beat em ups. Namely, Alien vs. Predator, The Punisher, and Streets of Rage. Any Street Fighter game except SF1, along with Capcom vs. SNK 2. You just can't beat a good fighting game. Any Hitman game except Absolution. Because I love having the freedom to kill everybody. Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Same reason as above. I love playing the good guy like a psychotic asshole.
  11. - The women that fought in the war were from foreign nations like the Soviet Union. No women served in the US military. That link you just posted even says it explicitly. At best, women could join the war effort by working at factories and farms to support our troops. If they were drafted by the government to fight in the army, we would have had people rioting everywhere. This is a valid criticism if the US military is what Battlefield V is focusing on. But if it's not, and you're able to choose sides to better reflect the status quo in other parts of the world where women did fight? Oh well. Like I said, I don't even care about Battlefield. What I do care about is the constant, dismissive responses to anyone who even has some criticism towards it for the simple fact that it's a game. - Am I? I've seen titles like Shenmue and Metal Gear Solid get the shit praised out of them, and I can't understand why. I've beaten them both, and sure enough, those were great experiences the first time around. When I look at them now, there's just nothing there to entice me to go back and play through either of them again. That's why my preferences have shifted more and more towards competitive gaming as I got older. When I boot up Street Fighter V on my PC, and I play against somebody online, I get a different experience with every match. It never gets old for me. I rarely get that satisfaction anymore with a single-player game. If I'm gonna spend $60 on something, I want it to go towards a product that doesn't get stale. Hitman 2016 and Deus Ex: Human Revolution are rare examples of that; when completing the main objectives aren't enough, I get to be a psychopath and kill everything that moves. There's always a challenge to it. - You have to look over what I said after my complaints about Absolution to fully understand. Again, my point as it relates to the subject isn't the quality of the game itself, but that I'm somehow not allowed to criticize it on the basis of what it is. If it's a video game, people will see me as an idiot for wasting so much time and energy bashing it because all games are perceived as a stupid form of entertainment. If there's something about the gameplay or the aesthetics that I don't like, and it's enough to discourage me from buying it, I can't express why without someone talking down on me. I'm supposed to just keep my mouth shut and let the developers do whatever they please. That's the prevalent attitude I'm seeing in society. Not just from outsiders who have no interest in gaming, but people who actually DO play games, or even work on them. It's perfectly normal to criticize a book or a movie without getting flak for it. But try going in depth when judging a video game, and that makes you a loser. Even to other gamers, and it's just sickening.
  12. Some people just want the best of each. You can't always combine them. I don't think I'd want a scoop of neopolitan ice cream with real strawberries, sprinkles, white chips and hot fudge sandwiched between two pizza donuts.
  13. If you had asked six years ago, I would have said "No, of course not." And my preference would have probably been ice cream. But then the Donut Bar in San Diego opened in 2013, and they've come up with recipes I never thought possible. Behold.... Donuts can be just as versatile as ice cream, if not more. And this is coming from one donut shop out of many in the US. If I could find the place that serves these pizza donuts, I'd book a flight just to go there. Oh, and I purposely omitted the poll. In my experience, polls take the discussion out of threads and turn them into ballot boxes. That's not very interesting to me.
  14. This one's easy for me. I'm lactose intolerant, so I gotta go with donuts. Even though I enjoy both, I can't indulge on ice cream on a hot day as much as I'd like to. But if it weren't for this godawful condition, I'd be at a total loss here. What do you say?
  15. Change "school" to "indoctrination center" in the thread title, and that sums up exactly how I feel about it. I'm envious of people who got to be home schooled.
  16. Holy shit, that's awesome! If they come with ponies, then that puts Vinyl on my wishlist.
  17. No. I came close two years ago, but the girl that liked me turned out to be an irresponsible mother, an overbearing SJW and a socialist pig. California's crawling with women just like her, and thinking about it makes me feel like a character in The Thing, trapped on that base in Antarctica with assholes I can't trust. I'm afraid I won't get to experience a kiss until after I move to a better place.
  18. Maybe things didn't happen exactly as described in each option, but one of these ponies is ultimately at fault. But yeah, take your time.
  19. You just bought a new house in Ponyville. Twilight, Mayor Mare and Pinkie Pie have all agreed to give you a welcoming party for being the first human citizen in town. That kind of makes you a celebrity, so all ponies are welcome to attend for the opportunity of meeting you and becoming your new friends. But days before the party, you've already engaged in lengthy conversations with several of your favorite ponies. At some point, the subject of your most hated pony in Equestria comes up. This could be anyone you don't like: Chancellor Neighsay, Svengallop, Zephyr Breeze, Flim or Flam, etc. You could talk almost endlessly about what a jackass this pony is. You talk about how much you'd like to kick his ass. You make jokes about him. And most of the ponies are having a blast just listening to you and nodding their heads at every insult. They don't like this pony very much either. Then the topic shifts to ponies from OUR world. Fluttershy is curious to see what they're like in person. So on the next day, you decide to head back and talk to a friend who happens to know a farmer, who owns a handful of ponies (because reasons). And the farmer lends you the youngest one from his stables. Wouldn't it be nice to bring this plump little baby for all Equestrians to see? You do just that, and on the night of party, the pony guests are in love with it. It's a lot like a special kind of monkey to them. When the party ends, all the guests leave except for Derpy. She's had too much to drink, and she hurt herself trying to keep up with all the dancing. Doc Whooves asks if you could let her sleep over for the night, and you agree to help her with this one favor... as long as she doesn't do anything stupid. You get up in the morning to do some shopping. You check on the baby pony. It's still grazing in the backyard. You check on Derpy. She's still laying like a vegetable on the sofa. You then head out. You're gone for hours, and when you head back with all your new stuff, you find your most hated pony on the street. He's walking in your direction about 50 feet away from your house. He doesn't say anything until you pass him, at which point, you could hear him mumbling to himself. You're not able to make out a coherent sentence, but you're pretty sure that "asshole" was a word that came out of his mouth. Most likely referring to you. It seems he knows you've been talking so much shit about him behind his back. And when you get back to the house, you find that the front door is wide open. You walk inside, and the place is a mess. There's trash everywhere, some furniture's broken, and.... there's shit all over the floor. You want to ask Derpy what the fuck happened, but she's nowhere to be found. And the baby pony that you've been looking after has gotten inside while you were out, and is now sleeping in the kitchen next to some food scraps. Apparently, the door to the yard was carelessly left unlocked. Or was it? One of three things could have happened: 1) Derpy did all this herself by just being Derpy, and got so scared that she shit herself and flew off to avoid taking responsibility. 2) The pony you hate broke into the place, trashed it, shit on your floor, scared Derpy away and made it look like the baby pony did it. 3) You really did neglect to make sure the door was secured, and the baby pony just came in and did what ponies always do. If you blame the first two without evidence, you could end up eating a lawsuit. And the farmer won't appreciate an accusation about the baby's behavior either. What conclusion do you make, and what do you do?
  20. That's funny. Gordon here's quick to tear down pineapples, yet when it comes to anchovies, a topping that nobody in the world with functioning taste buds can like, he doesn't say a damned thing against them.
  21. I've seen pineapples used with the same ingredients for other dishes, like pineapple glazed ham, cheese and pineapple danishes, pineapple salsa... if you can eat any of those, having pineapples as a pizza topping shouldn't be a problem. It boggles my mind that there are people who don't like it.
  22. Well, if you just touched her there like you would pat somebody on the shoulder.... nothing, I guess? I'm starting to wonder though how Sunset would take it? She'd be in a uniquely strange position.
  23. I can't figure this out for myself. Which do you prefer?
