If you had to choose a physical storage....
Pentium100 replied to Limeblossom's topic in Media Discussion
Speaking of non-digital formats, I prefer reel to reel tape and cassettes for music and I use them a lot. I also like Laserdiscs for movies and VHS to record some things. -
If you had to choose a physical storage....
Pentium100 replied to Limeblossom's topic in Media Discussion
Different media for different purposes. File storage in a server - hard drives. File storage where you need high performance - SSDs. Backups that would be done frequently and kept online - hard drives. Backups that would be done infrequently and kept offline - tapes. -
When I was a kid, I sometimes listened to audio performances (where there are multiple actors who play characters, not just one narrator telling a story), either on the radio or from a cassette. If there was no TV, I probably would be more into them. I do not know if I would listen to MLP G4 though, as I was attracted to the cute characters first. Not seeing them probably would have reduced my interest. If there was no TV I probably would read more books, but, again, I do not know if I would buy a MLP book as when I read a lot of book, I always was looking for Science Fiction or Detective stories and MLP is neither.

Yes, why would I not eat it? -

What do you do if there's a huge spider/bug in your room?
Pentium100 replied to Carbon Maestro's topic in General Discussion
It depends - if it is possible, I catch it in a small box and then throw it out my second floor window. Reason - I don't need to clean the squished spider from the wall. However, in some cases I just kill it (especially if it's trying to run away). With other bugs, say, a moth, I use a transparent sticky tape, stick the bug to it and then squish it. usualy there's nothing left on the wall. One time I saw a small spider on the wall, but was unable to reach it (my room is cluttered), so I sprayed it with isopropyl alcohol, it either poisoned or drowned the spider. -

How well do you think you can write or draw?
Pentium100 replied to Gaines's topic in General Discussion
Absolute zero on both. Drawing was one of the hardest subjects at school for me. Similar with writing. I can draw a stick figure, that's pretty much it. I can do technical drawings though, or at least I could do them in University, by now I probably forgot most of it, but I could probably fire up AutoCAD and figure out how to draw a bolt or something. -
How often do you swear/in front of who?
Pentium100 replied to Octavia_Melody2's topic in General Discussion
I swear a lot sometimes, especially if something unexpected bad happens (I hit my head, drop something etc), the curse word, usually in Russian, is pretty much automatic. However, I try really hard to not swear in front of clients and I think I'm successful at that. -
Episode 130 - Falling in Water
Pentium100 commented on Justin_Case001's blog entry in What Really Grinds My Gears
"Tip for Hollywood: tv and movies are usually more interesting when consequences are realistic." Not necessarily, it really depends on the movie IMO. It's like when the hero has a gun with a bottomless magazine. Sometimes it does not make sense, but sometimes it's fun to watch him mow down all the bad guys using full-auto fire. Let's say the creators want the bad guy or whoever to survive "impossible odds" - there's a fight near some cliff, the hero punches the villain in the face an he falls to the water below. There's no body found and later we ind out that the villain actually survived (but maybe was crippled by his injuries) and now there's another confrontation. In "realistic mode" the fight would take place somewhere else, something else would happen to the bad guy to make it look like he was dead when he wasn't. But, you know, fights in high places with steep cliffs are cool to watch. -
Me too. I also am waiting for the new season of Youjo Senki, though no idea when it is going to be complete/released.

Love or money what choice would you decide?
Pentium100 replied to user unknown's topic in General Discussion
I don't know if I have someone like that, but killing a real person is worse than erasing a fictional character (though I would not go to prison for it). Still, losing my stuff would be awful, so, I guess in this case "the only winning move is not to play". -
Love or money what choice would you decide?
Pentium100 replied to user unknown's topic in General Discussion
Yeah, bus basically the other choice means randomly (since I don't think I have a waifu), if I ever find a character I consider to be my waifu, I just lose all of my money and things and get transported to some random place. Honestly, if you said that was going to happen to me, I would probably stop watching all fictional media for the fear of losing everything and being transported to a random location, presumably away from my friends etc. -
Love or money what choice would you decide?
Pentium100 replied to user unknown's topic in General Discussion
I don't think it's a big deal. I mean, let's say I find a "waifu" watching some show. She's just fictional, a collection of pixels. After my choice, I guess the show would disappear with the character - I don't think it would be a big deal. Maybe I'm just not attached to TV shows? There are some TV shows I really like, but if they disappeared tomorrow, I would be a bit sad that I can't rewatch it again, but I don't think it would that bad. -

Love or money what choice would you decide?
Pentium100 replied to user unknown's topic in General Discussion
So, not only I would not get any money (reasonable), but the money and things that I have would be taken from me? That makes my choice easy. Well that and the fact that I do not really have a "waifu". So yeah, give me the money. With that much money, I could invest it and have a great life from passive income, not having to work for money anymore. I could do stuff for fun, maybe volunteering at some heritage railway etc. -
pony personality test thingy :p
Pentium100 commented on sillystar_catcher's blog entry in ☆~Star catcher wonderfull blog~☆
The vast majority of sites prohibit posting html or javascript by users because of the potential security issues. Usually, when a web site allows this it is a bug that soon gets fixed. This bug even has its own name - html injection. Some sites, like slashdot, allows very limited html tags for text formatting, so <b> for bold <a href... > for a link etc. -
Was Luna deserving of her punishment?
Pentium100 replied to ManaMinori's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
99% of the blame goes to Luna. She decided that not having enough attention warrants staging a coup and possibly killing a bunch of ponies (when Celestia and Luna fought not all magic beams landed on their intended targets, so I'm sure there was a lot collateral damage). However, Celestia shares a tiny bit of the blame because she ignored the situation and let it fester until it blew up in her face. The punishment for treason in many countries is either life in prison or death (and in the past there sometimes was a worse form of death penalty reserved for treason), so Luna got off easy in a way, only spending 1000 years in prison (we don't know how long alicorns live). Also, as I understand, the banishment may not have been the intention of Celestia. It seems that the Elements work randomly - they turned Discord to stone (twice), banished Luna the first time, but exorcised/brainwashed her (depending on your interpretation of what Nightmare Moon was) the second time. -
It's an episodic TV show, most of the episodes are pretty much stand-alone stories and you do not need to watch all of them to enjoy the show (in comparison, Babylon 5, The Expanse etc are basically very long movies cut up into episodes). Because of that, you cannot be sure that the audience has seen the previous episode (especially if it was a while ago), so you have to inform it of the relevant facts. There are not many ways to do it. Yes, we here have watched all episodes, in order, starting from the very first one, but the target audience may not have diligently watched all of the episodes and instead started watching at some random episode and then only seen some of them (ones they were able to catch on TV).

No, I don't think so. I'm quite OK here and would not want unforseen consequences. They say "grass is always greener on the other side". This applies both to real and fictional places. Any fictional place that is interesting to watch/read about is likely a crappy place to live. That being said, if I could go to pretty much a copy of the real world, but become immortal and get a lot of money, I think I would do it.

One of my friends suggested it as our next group game. Since it was advertised as an MMO I immediately rejected it (others could play it without me), then I saw the bad reviews and after a few days the news came out that it was basically a scam. I don't think anybody of us bought it. In general, I dislike MMOs and will not play one. If a game is advertised as a MMO, I immediately reject it. I prefer single-player games, but playing coop games with friends is fun too. I played Borderlands, TPS, 2 and 3 with a friend and played Raft and Valheim with a group of friends. We are currently playing Barotrauma. We also tried Void Crew, but it was a bit too repetitive for me, so we decided to wait for some content updates before going back to it.

Ever felt like slowing down, or stop collecting altogether?
Pentium100 replied to Steve Piranha's topic in Merchandise
I think I have the MLP figures that I want, though I sometimes go through the toy section of a store to see if there's anything good there. I collect other stuff though, but whenever I seem to be running out of space I start slowing down. Then I hang a new shelf or whatever and, well, I am not going to keep that space empty, right?
