I'd really like to say no, but I think it does a little, at least on subconscious level. If someone has an actual drawn image of their OC or persona or somesuch for their avatar, then it's pretty easy to make the conclusion they're putting a bit more effort into how they present themselves than someone who's got a seemingly random screenshot for their avatar. It doesn't outweigh the actual content of their post, but it just might make people pay more attention.

I have a wooden rocking horse in the garage attic. I got it on Christmas when I was... I'm not sure how old I was. It's like foot and half high at the seat, but in the photo where I sit on it just after unwrapping it, my feet don't reach the ground. So I was... 2 years? 3?

At one point I played World of Warcraft almost daily, but now I've kinda fallen out of it. I still think of those times fondly. More recently I was completely sucked into Dragon Age: Inquisition. I have a number of different characters I'm still determined to play through.

Got it on one, buddy. Finnish it is.

I'm not really sure, but I might go with 'Pinja'. In my language it means 'pine tree', but it's also a legitimate given name. ... Then again, now that I think about it, my real given name is one letter away from a word that means 'berry' in my language.

I speak two languages, but slang tends to go out of style so fast that I usually don't bother learning it in the first place.

G3 was during the time in my life when I considered myself too old to watch cartoons. Thankfully it was just a phase. But I'm not all that sorry I missed the G3. The animation wasn't bad quality-wise, but the design and what little plot it had were just... too pink and girly. I felt like they had lost something of what had appealed to me in the original cartoon. The main conflict was usually some kinda everyday social crisis like "Oh no, I broke this thing I borrowed from my friend, what am I gonna do?" or something else mundane. In the G1 cartoon they had this fantasy element going on. The ponies went on adventures and met things that were often genuinely terrifying. There was this one episode where there was a monster that turned living things into stone. And they didn't do it in any wussy 'flash of light from off-screen' way. No, they showed how the monster touched characters that were fleeing from him in terror, and the victim would freeze in midstep for a split second, and then be changed into a grey, hollow-eye'd lump of rock. Tell me THAT isn't brutal for a kid's show.

Can't really choose one. Like some people have said already, all of these can be done either well or badly, and some things look better in one style while others may be better in another. Plus, the line between them is often blurry. For example in Disney's Treasure Planet most of the animation was done traditionally, but John Silver's cybernetics were done in 3D and then combined with the 2D animation. In terms of visual look, I think I like the vector/flash puppets the least, because they often tend to be visually the least varied and interesting. I do still understand their value in creating content on a schedule and on a lower budget than feature length films.

If you want something a bit more instrumental, like something that would play in the background of an epic fight scene in a movie, I think something like this would fit the bill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4UVEbzoiPo
