Wondering if there's any point in trying to get mob heads tomorrow with my enchanted trident in Minecraft, been waiting a whole (real life) day for a thunderstorm to occur, none happened. Should I just give up with it and use a different decoration for my castle dungeon instead of Skeleton skulls? or carry on with getting the Skeleton Skulls? I've not been having any luck with it, I know how to make Charged Creepers, but unless the thunderstorm happens I may as well pack up my Skulker Box and go back to base to do something else, more bad RNG equals wasted time.

Although it is unfortunately paid for software, you can use Red Fox AnyDVD if you have a copy already installed before it got taken offline, which will decrypt the physical media for you and allow you to rip them to your hard drive, you may need another third party app to convert it to the file type of your choice however, but I can tell you it does work, if you're concerned about the quality of media players and dwindling support for DVD, I would suggest making yourself a backup copy then keeping the decrypted version on your computer. The downside is AnyDVD is not compatible with Linux, there are probably some alternatives to this software however, you may have some luck using Wonderfox HD video converter factory and it supports HEVC codec for mp4 files. I'm with you on that one, I disagree with people's claims about old isn't worth watching anymore, it's personal preference, I have the same opinion about generations of Transformers, My Little Pony or whatever other cartoon series. I still keep my DVD collection even with the problem of companies pushing digital streaming on people, it's planned obsolescence at its finest, and if DVD's were rendered useless by these decisions, they would be responsible for a large portion of plastic items being thrown away, just because, which cannot be good for the environment.

As both a Sonic and MLP fan, I have to say one of the things that I find problematic is when people attribute the edge lord stereotype to characters Princess Luna and Shadow the Hedgehog. It's an oversimplification of their characterization.

Thank you, I don't wish for anymore misunderstandings to happen here between me and other users on this site or you, the reason I come back to you is because you don't treat me like I'm a monster, and you don't generalize me or other people here for their opinions about anything. You even call out language that carries negative connotations even when there's no malice which is helpful. I'm a MLP and Sonic fan myself.

You recommending therapy helped me, so there's that, you're welcome to discuss anything with me either publicly or privately Samurai Equine, you're one of the moderators I have formed a somewhat stable friendship with so I can see this going well with you. You saw what negative topics were doing to my mental health and I have to admit you did help, none of you really were malicious toward me about this, you saw this as a problem that needed to be addressed as it would be for anybody else here.

Gaming, watching films or TV shows, I would like to continue my MLP fan fiction some time however I have not been in the mood to do it recently. I cannot help but wonder what would happen if somebody from outside the house were to read it, would they think it's foolish of me to wish to be in Equestria knowing it can never happen? I'm not as smart as I would like to be, though I do not hallucinate about this or hear voices in my head, it does inch closer to having an imaginary friend now that I think about it. Adult MLP fans already do get picked on whether they write fan fictions or not, but the only sensible response to this, is to be defiant, we don't owe people with prejudices an explanation why we like what we do.

general What's your opinion on Furries?
Dawnshine Wonder replied to Rivulet's topic in General Discussion
I mean, we're talking about people who fantasize about being in a relationship with a fictional character of another species, sometimes extra-terrestrial. Let me be honest and say at first I never understood it, but over time, I can see why, and as long as they're respecting other's boundaries they discuss it with, it is okay. Don't sexualize characters especially minor characters or characters with a target demographic of minors, and as long as adults keep it in their head instead, they're already cautious not to offend, disturb or upset anybody else. -
I don't have any VHS tapes, I used to, but I found more convenience in DVD's because with a bluray drive you can support most of the modern formats including its predecessor DVD. One movie I did remember having on VHS and rewatching was BFG 1989. VCR's had neat features in them that let us record TV programmes though which was nice.

Which princess would you write to?
Dawnshine Wonder replied to Arrlong28's topic in Sugarcube Corner
The truth is I do not know, what purpose would this be for? I'd be afraid of approaching any of them at first, not because of physical harm but because I would not know what to say to them and I would not wish to put them through anymore stress than they already go through. But if I refused to talk to them for any reason, it could come across as condescending or dismissive, so I would not want that outcome either. Yeah I know, sounds dumb right? I sometimes talk about wishing I could be in Equestria, but without a different set of circumstances on how I came to be in that fictional universe, I would have the same problems I do here, social anxiety and all, I can talk to people anonymously but even then I have to be careful how I word things. For example, if discussing royalty, typically the way to address them is "Your highness" or "your majesty" in the same sentence you are discussing anything with them, or I guess "Dear Princess Celestia" works too. It may be considered outdated language now, but respecting cultures is important, if I fail to respect their culture, that could be seen as bad etiquette there and would put me at odds with them. Growing up with them in another lifetime in a fictional world scenario would have been better, friendships are easier to form if it is the place we grew up in. If you're in a situation where you would rarely talk to them, it is not likely any relationship would follow. -
As amused as I am about Beavis and Butthead cartoon and their antics, I don't get Beavis obsession with tp and calling himself Cornholio. Hilarious that they got let out of prison for that as well, does not take much to impress the Warden, all an inmate has to do for early parole is to demand tp.

Coded for Windows, mainly has to do with the popularity of the platform and Microsoft wanting control over their own video games. There is truth in what you say, however Windows 11 received some negative press not just because of its strict hardware requirements and mandating TPM 2.0 on its release years ago and not guaranteeing compatibility with older gen I series Intel processors, but it uses far too much memory. I'm not a programmer myself however I do use my PC for gaming, and based on past experience I cannot say what Windows 11 uses on idle post installation is a good thing, a pagefile may be faster on an SSD than with a hard drive, but it is still considerably slower than RAM is so the amount of RAM Windows 11 uses on idle which is often in excess of over 8 gigabytes while using prefetch cache to justify this does not make me confident in it. Some of the stuff being prefetched isn't needed to begin with, if you're using an SSD, your system is likely already fast enough to load those programs without prefetch involved, all Windows is doing at that point is wasting RAM and depriving other applications of the RAM they may need later on to function. Ubuntu works differently it would seem as it only keeps things in RAM if they're needed at the time.

I like what Magma says in Batman Beyond episode Terrific Trio "No, I am an accident, with heroes they make a choice, I never did." This hits home the duality of choice, and the important distinction between what heroes are and are not. Without autonomy there is no heroism.

How to escape your box of deppresion
Dawnshine Wonder replied to fnaf kind of pony's topic in General Discussion
I don't speak for anybody else here, how this affects them is a nuanced issue and their own subjective experiences are within their own right to determine for themselves, not mine. But as for my experience with depression? it's a curse, one that has brought me to ruin many times over and one which I've had to seek therapy sessions for, and I have a feeling it probably won't be the last one. And it does not help to exist in a world that brings that pain either, I did not come here to burden anybody else or make enemies, but it only takes one misunderstanding for people to mistreat us or vice versa, and I've been at wits end about it on separate occasions, how do you recover from something like this? maybe some others are stronger than I am, I don't know, like I said I can only state my own experience with depression, sometime days I can cope with it, other days it gets so horrible I cannot sleep. Next time I see a GP I will ask them to extend my prescription of diazepam, at least when I am dreaming I'm out of it. It's part of the reason why I daydream, I don't hallucinate about beings who are not there, and I don't have a religion, however I am beginning to understand more deeply why some people would want an imaginary friend, considering that their imaginary friend appears to bring them more comfort than the real world does, or at least, they imply it, but hallucinations are still a sign of something going fundamentally wrong with a person's brain, and a fictional person is never a good substitute for a real person who you can relate to, it's one of those conundrums of the psyche, people seek refuge even in places that are only temporary, but in the end, what needs to change is how we treat each other, that is the only hope the world has in recovering from the mess it is in. -

I have not thought about this, I've been single since I was in school. I am single, have no intention on finding a date, not in person or on the internet. I have difficulty getting close to people as it is, worry about the pain that comes with that if it goes wrong, and to be a friend is enough for me, whether they agree with my opinions or not, and not all of my friends do which is fine. I have friends who don't even like My Little Pony, and it's whatever, that does not define their character as it does not define my own. But as long as they respect me as a person and don't belittle me or anybody else for this, I find them to be likable. So far, I have not encountered a friend who did this so I've had luck with that one, it would probably work out the same in a dating situation, however, I understand some people have been made fun of for their preferences in life which can affect their relationships with other people. Apparently adults get mistreated for not conforming to societal norms though, you know how that goes, the stereotype that adults must only watch horror films or do things considered "mature" like going to the bar or smoke tobacco and just as it was in the 80's this problem persists today, but quite frankly that is their problem not mine, and I think smoking is not mature at all, it is a destructive habit that puts a strain on our healthcare system, and they set a bad example for children. Which leads me to question whether or not people would date someone who smokes cigarettes?
