Sorry for the long absence, I finally had the chance to work on some personal projects so that’s what I’ve been doing most of the day

Thanks!

One of them I finished but one of them I am still working on, but both of them were fun to work on.

Thank you all so much for the nice birthday wishes
! Whether I’ve known you for a long time or I have only seen you a couple of times, thank you so much for all the nice comments and pony pictures (and explosion memes 
)! 
I had a pretty fun birthday. On Sunday I went to a rented theatre with my friends (so we were the only ones there cause we rented it out) and last night and tonight I got to have some nice dinners with family
. I’ve had a really fun birthday and I was glad to spend time with all the people I could.

Happy 10th anniversary to Friendship is Magic! It’s crazy that that show is already 10 years old. It’s brought so many good things to the world over the past ten years, from great characters and stories to really interesting friendship lessons. I know everyone here says FiM changed their lives, but I have to say it changed me, too. It brought some joy to my life when I was going through some rough times (and I was at a real vulnerable age, so everything was a mess
!).
Let’s talk about favorites. I’m curious to hear what you guys say.
Favorite Pony: Fluttershy (I relate to her a lot and she’s really cute)
Favorite Episode: The Cutie Map 1&2 (I’m gonna be honest and say I felt like Fluttershy when I first saw that village, I just thought its concept was so interesting)
Favorite Song: This Day Aria (It’s one of the few orchestral songs out of all the songs and I used to love the covers people did when they swapped out Cadence and Chrysalis for other characters)
Favorite Moment: When Starlight asks where the animals have gone and Fluttershy responds with “Because you didn’t ask me to” (This is one of my favorite pony quotes
)
Favorite Season: 5 (All the best episodes were there!!!)

Happy 10th anniversary
I don't feel like the show changed me, but it certainly became a part of my life! I just can't imagine myself not being a brony
Favorite pony: Fluttershy! I always like shy and anxious characters in shows because they're so cute and interesting
Favorite episode: The Heart's Warming Tail. Despite the fact it came out in summer I really felt that, I liked Starlight's character there, I loved songs and the story, it made me watch Christmas Carol animated film
Favorite song: You're In My Head Like a Catchy Song. It's just very cute and... catchy
Favorite moment: When Twilight traveled back in time to warn past Twilight about bad day and she looked like Solid Snake. I like MGS series and it was a really good easter egg
Favorite season: I'm really not sure because I forgot the most episodes and their order, but I feel like 2-3 season. It associates with rise of the fandom and times when the show was actually so wholesome, cozy and about grounded things we can relate to. And Sci-Twi was there

Okay, so my regular notifications are working, but my PMs still need to load. I think it’ll be okay now

My notifications aren’t loading correctly, so I apologize if I have to be absent for a little while

Anyone interested in voicing The Great and Powerful Trixie for an audio fanfic called “Mythic Dawn”? You don’t need the best mic equipment or whatever, you just have to be willing to read a bunch of different lines. I’ll send all the information to people who are interested (it’s all on Discord).

Thanks for the follow

Thanks for recommending me to @Rainy Day
I was going to thank you earlier actually, so sorry for being kinda late

Oh geez time to go through my 100 unread notifications again 😬

I have to say that @Sparklefan1234’s new banner is the best banner for the forums I’ve seen so far.

I like your new profile picture, it’s cute
I probably think all of them are cute, though

Did your phone die right before your 8000th post?

My sibling got a text for one of those gift card scams and it started out with:
”Why the f**k are you still waiting?”
Isn’t that so professional?

Before I forget again, I had a dream that I have to share:
I had a dream a couple of nights ago that mlpforums sent me an email saying I was banned for giving out too many brohoofs. As punishment they only let me use a fake pink one, but I guess that one got banned two cause my most recent one turned out to be green. It had a really weird fake name that started with a “z”, but I’m not sure what it was. All I knew is that my green brohoofs wouldn’t help anybody out.

Math is fun
I actually learned this stuff from our nutrition facts at the back of our products in Sweden, which are different from the US. In the US, they keep telling you how much to eat, and who is telling you? Well the ones making the candy or bad food.
But in Sweden, everything sold is always specified at "100%", so you know how much sugar or fat is in the product by just looking at the back of the box.
For example, "nutrition per 100 grams", "sugar 55 grams" (ouch, too much sugar in my example!). Well, we use the metrics system, but, it doesn't matter, since it could be any unit as long as it is per 100, or as we say percent (cent mean hundred).
You might see the % symbol too, but it is a percentage of what something unknown is telling you you are allowed to eat, but not what that is.
*I am allowed to be 3% nice. (But what is 100% nice?)

Spoiler
This pixel circle looks asymmetrical and it’s bothering me so much, if anyone can help me decide where to erase and where to add the white looking squares, please let me know!

A visual update now when I can post pictures again:
This is a circle grid fitted to 8x8 pixels. The dots are the center of each pixel, and are used to select which pixels get lit (black) and which don't (white):
The grey circle and the anchors with numbers represent the actual circle shape. If the pixel centers (the dots) are inside the circle shape, the pixel get lit.
When the circle is expanded to cover 16x16 pixels, you can see it works exactly the same. The circle looks round. The math works. However...
A 14x14 circle starts having conflicts. The centers of the pixels are so close to the circle outline, that it is up to the artist to decide which pixels get lit. The black pixels are definitely inside the circle. But including the dark red ones I colored myself, and ignoring the orange ones I also colored (not part of the circle), the shape looks more like a round square than a circle.
The math works, but the result is ambiguous. It is symmetrical, but doesn't yield any good result.I would choose to remove the red pixels, as well as the orange ones, to make the circle more round. I don't need to see where the pixel centers are, I just need to see if it looks good or not. It is an artistic choice!
When making video games, it is a balance between artistic choices and math. Math can cover so much, but if the game and art were all math, it wouldn't look very good.
I direct this message to @ExplosionMare and @You.

Thanks for all the references!

Today’s been a day. I had to finish a month’s worth of summer reading in 2 or 3 hours. Great start to the school year! 🙄
Oh well at least I finished it somehow

You would think with how difficult school is this year they would stop giving it to us

? What were the major themes of the book covered, and how does that apply to real life 
?
