Ummm... I guess why.

Honestly, I'm not quite sure. I think my enthusiasm and self-esteem just waxes and wanes, and my activity supports that. (Also I don't have much to contribute during hiatus because I've seen seasons 1-3, part of season 7, and bits from the other seasons. That's mostly the extent of official pony I've seen.)

There are definitely specific people I don't like seeing, but I have more of a distaste for the corporate model in general. Most of the time, it excuses deplorable actions and glorifies who can be the most "intense" under the company's rules.

For what happened to "old Disney villains," I think Disney's current mindset can most accurately be found in the live action Maleficent. This movie, however you may think of it, serves to give more "realistic" motivations towards Maleficent's evil in Sleeping Beauty. Through this, I observe that, currently, Disney heros and villains start with the same mindset, but the villains have a certain small event in their life that changes them (see @Ivan The Adorable's post above). In short, Disney's priorities have changed from bringing memorable villains to bringing realistic antagonists (in their view of "realistic," at least). I don't really have an opinion on this change, but I am interested in seeing where it goes from here.

Star Trek: Into Darkness James Dean and Pointy Boi fight for and against the system at the same time.

I drink Canadia syrup. Is the plan a-go or c-go?

"Your actions will have consequences." This is a saying repeated throughout modern gaming culture after the immense success of Telltale Games's The Walking Dead. And true enough, your choices in these games do have consequences: they cause one thing or the other to happen in the game's story. With this framing, the story of a "choice game" often feels objectified and unaware of itself. I thought this trait was inherent of games with choices until I played Pokémon: Super Mystery Dungeon. In this game, the first few hours are spent building the characters. I could go into an entire other thread explaining how well this game uses characterization, but for now I will keep it simple. Your partner throughout the game is impulsively driven, yet she (as I call her) still wants to be accepted by someone, so she hangs around you. As this game progresses, you come to a very important event. You have been in a team with your previously mentioned partner and another person. On a rash decision, your partner decides to abandon the third member of your group to get a goal. As a testament to the writing, this frustrated me, especially when I had no choice to stop her. However, this annoyance was key in the next scene. Your partner asks you if she is annoying. This does give you a choice in answering, so I chose to say, "You can be annoying," as I was annoyed, but more at the turn of events. Her reaction stunned me. My response broke my partner. She ran off the screen after showing her devastated state. However, I thought that would be the end of it, as it is in most "choice games." The next day, my partner refused to hang around me, something she had done habitually up until that point. With this change in such a simple event, I was more affected emotionally than by any "choice game," and I realized after that the game expertly utilized my emotions to make a point. After that, I had to take a break. I haven't come back to the game yet, so please leave spoilers out of the discussion. I'm sorry if this is unclear, but I just really wanted to express my emotions. Other than that, discuss the game and these moments below!

At the door, two at a time, keep the extras. It's enjoyable.

No one has ever told me I don't look like my name, so I think I do look like it. (As for my profile pic, I don't think it would look like anything other than the text in it.)

It's probably going to turn out like The Emoji Movie did for me. It's an incredibly stupid yet hilarious idea that I think will have a mediocre, unnoticed release, yet its release actually brings a movie with waves of actual hate against it.

Not enough. I will try to change that at some point.

For peaceful songs, I'd say my favorites are by OcularNebula, especially The Lopez.

I don't usually cry, but watching the season 5 finale of Supernatural, Swan Song, did the trick. The trick was done too well.
