  1. Hoping my complaining about the issue with my PC earlier although I have sorted it out now, did not bother anyone here. It is not often I talk about problems like that. Everyone gets frustrated about something some time or other, it is part of life. I do try to be a positive influence here, I like friendship, rainbows and My Little Pony as much as anyone else here.
  2. Alright I've calmed down now, the issue with my One Driver had been fixed. I deleted the folder then resynced it. Thank goodness that worked, because if it hadn't I would've been out of patience with Windows altogether and had already been on my Linux system. My advice is if file encryption has to be used at all, use a tool that lets you access it with a password like with archive based tools such as Winzip or z7ip, don't use any other, it's not worth the hassle.
  3. Livid, because of a permissions error issue that is remaining on my PC with my One Drive folder, even after a clean install, I am definitely going over to my Raspberry Pi 5 setup with Linux soon for MLP forum use and music listening sessions. I've had it with Windows. This is why I don't bother with drive encryption, because it only takes one thing to go wrong and stupid stuff like this happens. I can access my One Drive on server end, but the local file on the drive is locked and I cannot get rid of the problem. Drive encryption is supposed to protect your PC, but in practice because of glitches, it can also lock you out of your files as well, and Windows has this issue where it will attempt to encrypt things when you install it, I had to disable that bitlocker thing after a clean OS install, even then, my One Drive folder is still locked. Well, I guess that ruined my day. I will see what can be done, right now I am making a local backup of my One Drive folder on my computer, before I attempt a deletion and then resync to see if it can be fixed that way. Probably not though, knowing my luck.
  4. I suppose I am unofficially Pegasapien, mind of a Pegasi, body of a human, who can never complete the transformation because of the limits of nature and Equestria being a fantasy realm.
  5. Reminiscing how hilarious the video game Virtua Racing was, even on the Nintendo Switch port "Time Boner" really? what is that I am wondering, Sega?
  6. I'm scrapping the Halloween layout plan I had for October I realize there's a layout of figurines that can look as cool if not better next to the dragon sculpture with plasma ball. My Little Pony ones, Queen Chrysalis already being one of them. Zecora is mysterious enough for Halloween in her own right, Zecora is an underrated character IMO. Now if only I could find a Nightmare Moon figurine.
  7. Goodness, Princess Celestia knows how to have fun, doesn't she? :D

      @Dawnshine Wonder

      When you have been living regally and formally for years, you get your fun where you can. I imagine Celestia must have been making a list of things she wanted to do, but as the main ruler of Equestria, she had to wait until someone like Twilight and her friends could come along to either ease her bureaucratic duties or just shake things up in ways she couldn't. Having self control constantly for many ages has to get boring over time~ :fimyay:

  8. Is this cute when Pinkie Pie asks Applejack to make a Pinkie Promise? :kindness:

  9. And the fact that Princess Luna was able to absorb Tantabus back into herself despite being a high level reality warper, shows how powerful Princess Luna is, if she hadn't have reformed since the Nightmare Moon debacle at the beginning of the show, she would have absolute rule like in the alternate timeline where she held Spike hostage. Thankfully in the main timeline, Princess Luna has morals, and she demonstrated great courage, to listen to her friends in Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep, let go of the self condemnation, which is not easy, not with attempted murder of a sibling I'd imagine as shown in Princess Twilight Sparkle episode in the past, Princess Celestia had forgiven Luna, Luna learned she needed to learn to move on. As somebody who experiences depression and anxiety myself, I can relate to Princess Luna on this issue, guilt is not the easiest thing to recover from, but when that self loathing becomes toxic in a relationship it is important to deal with it, and Luna in MLP did, if I had been her friend I would be very proud of her for finding the strength to listen to her friends and find a healthier way to deal with her mental health problems. She deserves the title Luna is Best Princess, IMO.
  10. Hi there Night Sky, how have you been? here is what me and Snoopy Fan had discussed last night, do you think there is anything for me to be ashamed about in the discussion about my MLP fan fiction? I've given my honest thoughts. By the way I had been given permission to share this on the forum.

      I did not get into trouble, and nobody was offended by this, which is why I asked your opinion, this is my exchange with Snoopy Fan.

      Thank you for asking permission before sharing someone's private conversation. You rock, Dawnshine. :grin:

      Then going off of just what you've put before me, I can tell you that I don't feel there is anything you should be ashamed of. But that's just me. I think different ponies will react to what you said in different ways, based on who they are and what they have been through. 

      Now, me, I'm of a certain age and generation, and just because different ponies will have different reactions to things I say, does not automatically mean that I suppress the urge to speak my mind every single time. But I have learned to be more careful than would otherwise come naturally to me. 

      There's a lot of talk about friendship out there, about support and unity and solidarity. 

      Well, here in the human world, none of us are as skilled as ponies are at that. 

      Not even close. 

      But just speaking for myself, and just about what you've presented, no, I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of, I just had to take a certain kind of care with something like this, in a forum like this one. We have little ears and hooves around here. 

  11. Dah Onion Eater, in case you are wondering, these are what you're looking for, they're officially made figurines of Mane Six, just in case any of you here wish to buy your own set. As for how I am feeling, well, relaxed, for the night, I may listen to some music before bed but it was great talking with everybody here today.

  12. Snoopy Fan's sore throat is almost gone, that is what made me happy earlier today. Also I had a great discussion with him about MLP, the usual.
  13. Actually I would consider this Applejack and Rainbow Dash cosplaying as Toy Story characters.
  14. I do have a long list of friends here but Snoopy Fan is one I talk in private messaging a lot. And I can honestly tell from the way he speaks he is a genuinely caring and thoughtful person, I have a long list of people I like to discuss with but mostly in forum threads. That doesn't mean I don't like them, our time can only go around to so many people. But I do have a long list of people I like here. ARockarooster gives helpful advice from time to time, as do forum moderator staff. I do miss talking to Night Sky though, we're still friends however we have not exchanged much recently. Sparklefan1234 I don't know what he is doing, but he is still around. Octavia Scratch can be funny, in a good way. Kyoshi appears to be busy in Twilight Soapbox, I'm not active there at the moment.

  15. Good thing I decided to put my plasma ball on the top shelf. EMI not good with computers, I know they can cause distortion with speakers so that's not a good sign. It's a 6 volt operated device, but it's still not a good idea. Doesn't seem to get particularly warm though, that's a good sign, means it should have a good lifespan as it's not one of those shoddy electronics with poor power management. I cannot use wireless devices in my bedroom anymore, darn physics and all that. :facehoof:

  16. With the plasma ball setup, it is time to get the other ornaments. Not sure what their life expectancy is but I would turn it off just in case before bed. It's also a reasonable distance away from my Raspberry Pi 5 system, shouldn't cause interference, but if it does, the plasma ball can still be switched off. Some safety advice I picked up on Quora I have noted, do not put aluminium foil on it, as a plasma ball is a small Tesla coil generating static electricity, but can generate a small electrical shock enough to burn if mishandled. Probably not the best thing to use with my headphones in the room, but wow they look cool.
  17.  

    You're a great person to talk to Snoopy Fan, but for now, I am going to take a nap, I'll talk with you later if you're online to discuss anything with anyone, stay safe pal. Also I hope your sore throat is gone. :pinkiesmile:

      Thanks Dawnshine Wonder. I hope you have a good nap. My sore throat is almost gone.

  18. I managed to get one of these items off Ebay, it will arrive in due time. I am hoping the green LED strip will give it the effect I am hoping for, make the green gooey stuff beneath the action figure of Queen Chrysalis look like it is glowing. as the light from the shelf reflects off of it I'm not a scientist or engineer so I don't even know what the outcome of that is going to be. The theory checks out, but will it work in practice?

  20. I couldn't give up sweeteners in my tea if I tried, however I don't want to end up with type 2 diabetes. So the way I see it, going with stevia or some other non calorie sweetener is a compromise. Type 2 diabetes would make mine and anyone else's life more chaotic than without it, not something I wish on anyone. However keeping the calorie count down in diets does help, it's not just the sugar that is in drinks we need to watch out for, it is the carbohydrates in everything we consume, it all adds up, processed or not, which is why calorie calculators are recommended, people need to weigh up what they burn each day vs how much they need. I don't do the best at it, my diet is average at best, I don't exercise a lot either, however by not having sugar in my tea every time, I at least minimize the risks associated with sugar.
  21. Yeah sort of, but they don't have Applejack's hat, as you mentioned. Other than that the models are accurate I would say as well. I am disappointed as well because the hat is literally part of Applejack's wild west identity, I might get a Zecora action figure at some point as well if I can find one, Zecora is another character I love from the show, she is their resident healer, using what appears to be herbal medicines. I just wished the show had done a better job with ethnic diversity because there really did not appear to be many Zebras in My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, I mean it would have made sense, to have their equine civilization have more variety.

  23. Getting an injection for me is fine. Blood drawn? no, real blood scares me, I have to look away in both cases, but usually with the injection, it doesn't take long. What bothers me about the vaccine is not the shot, it is the temporary after effect of the arm swelling and becoming painful after, but it's a minor issue, it's a sign my immune system is working, so who cares.
