  1. Nah, you're a great person to talk to, and you're always welcome here to talk with us. I've been dealing with family problems of my own as well but it is not your fault or anyone else's here on this forum. After having taken my medication after a bout of anxiety problems earlier this afternoon I do feel more relaxed. I don't know about you but I do wish I could exist in the fictional world Equestria like in my fanfic I have not been motivated to continue writing about recently. But why waste our time wishing for a world that can never exist? Midnight Insight and I had been discussing about this very topic, even in the distant future if virtual reality technology became the closest thing to making that a reality, though I have my doubts technology can become that advanced or that human civilization will be around for that long, in the event VR tech did become that advanced, it'll be locked behind some paywall for the richest of folks, so we're never going to benefit from it regardless, either that or it'll end up banned because of fear-mongering, though there are plenty of ways to die IRL as well. So nope, we are never going to live out some superhero fantasy in a computer generated world, either A) that Matrix-like VR tech never gets developed or B ) the law stops it. Both are very good reasons to hate our world.
  2. No problem Snoopy Fan, want to discuss something about an MLP episode?
  3. Yes, this website truly is a safe haven to discuss our problems and interests in a calm and respectful manner with other members here. Joining this site is one of the best decisions I ever did, I regularly message my friend Snoopy Fan, about MLP, fan fictions and possible death battle scenarios between fictional characters. He also gave me some ideas on how to ponyfy my bedroom, in an indirect way, he did not recommend it in conversation but he has posted photos of his collection of plushies on this forum which intrigued me. When my ornaments on my shelf are finished with the LED lighting already done, I hope to give other people ideas on how to add style when showing support for MLP. He is a sweet and gentle person.
  4. No character is more cute than Fluttershy.
  5. In these two episodes I mentioned, this was one of the times i felt bad for Rainbow Dash, their main villains Tirek and Queen Chrysalis were not even in Flutter Brutter, and Rainbow Dash still becomes a victim because of the selfishness of another. I know Rainbow Dash has acted selfishly or impulsively sometimes in MLP FIM official, but not like this. Rainbow Dash does have a heart, even in episode Tanks for the Memories, while she was not justified in blowing up the weather factory, her behavior did come from a place of not wanting to be separated from her pet Tortoise, and considering the thought of never seeing Tank again brought her to tears, I would say there was empathy even if skewed with ignorance about hibernation. Zephyr Breeze is a different problem altogether, his actions come from lust and not caring about the well being of who he hurts, in his own reality, it is all about him, and him only.
  6. It happened in season 9 episode Twilight's Seven. Zephyr Breeze continued to violate Rainbow Dash's boundaries even after she had told him no. He is a jerk, plain and simple. I was hoping for him to reform after his behavior in Flutter Brutter episode from season 6, but wow was I off the mark this time, he did not. Equestria is not the worst place in fiction to live, I have admitted to wishing to be in that fantasy world because of how peaceful their world appears to be compared to our one, though it will never happen, however unfortunately they do have troublemakers in their community.
  7. Agreed, I don't know why this episode of My Little Pony gets a lot of flack from some people, Fluttershy had every right to defend herself in this situation. Zephyr Breeze's sexist behavior continued in future episodes, where he harassed Rainbow Dash with the same conceited behavior like what you would see in Johnny Bravo cartoon from Johnny Bravo himself except females there are human not pony, Zephyr Breeze tries to force in an unwanted relationship with females. Zephyr Breeze is a loser who takes advantage of others goodwill to get what he wants, though thankfully other Ponies in Equestria were not having any of it, and he even got fired for leaving his post at Canterlot. Zephyr Breeze annoys me as much as Iron Will and Flim Flam Brothers do.
  8. I don't like bringing this up online with people, especially this forum of all places, and for the first time in months since I joined, I bring up current family issues here. I won't mention the real names of people involved for privacy reasons, however I am not happy with how my so called "Carer" berates me for the smallest things. The problem is unless others hear both sides of it they're likely to take her word as gospel and yes, this has happened before about a separate issue and I think she banks on the idea that because of my learning disability, others will take her side all the time and it usually works in her favor, but I am sick of this, I will be taking another beta blocker in a moment to get my anxiety down, but the short version of this is I cannot trust her. All I did was told her I was about to hide a mess of wires with larger monitor in my room, and she made a drama out of it by raising her voice for no reason. She may have her own problems which have nothing to do with me, but I cannot deal with the negativity, the same issue will happen again and again and it is draining on my mental health to deal with this.
  9. I want to get my own place, unfortunately for the time being I am stuck in a Council estate where there are waiting lists for moving home. I had to terminate a conversation with somebody in my home by walking out of the room because she kept raising her voice at me, I am annoyed with the way she treats me sometimes. I cannot have a normal conversation with her because when she raises her voice she is not a pleasant individual to be around, it becomes doubly aggravating when she blames me for it, accusing me of not letting her get a word in, when I do. I like my brothers but not her, she may be my Carer for the moment but at this point I'd rather be on my own because of all the negativity with her. And she is not the only relative in the family who has treated me like this. This is the definition of a broken home, now I realize the reason why I used to be so short tempered, her influence.
  10. One of my favourite parts of the show, actually that is my favourite episode from season 4 besides Princess Twilight Sparkle. Twilight's Kingdom showed Twilight's quest for knowledge and friendship had paid off, when she threw down the gauntlet against one of MLP's worst war lords.The calculated risk she took with the trade mid battle with Tirek showed she is a tactician as well, and while it wasn't a good option, what this did show is sometimes in life we need to deal with the cards we are dealt, the alternative was surrender which would not have helped anypony. Continuing the fight would have put her friends at risk as I had explained to somebody else before, as Tirek could have killed the hostages any time. Twilight Sparkle knows how to deal with a hostage situation, which is important when dealing with a terrorist who has your allies captive. And it does bother me that some people don't analyze the situation correctly, I know you're not the one who complained about this episode but some people did, and they missed the point completely. Though thankfully MrEnter reviewed this episode with enough tact to inform people why Twilight made the decision which she did.
  11. That was obvious from the start, I won't call out any specific names with this one however I have heard one critic on Youtube complain about this duel between Twilight Sparkle vs Lord Tirek, with some claim that it was boring because they were both hitting each other doing zero damage with their lasers. That's ridiculous, if that person really thinks this, then why did Twilight Sparkle teleport out of the way when Tirek fired at her? clearly Twilight Sparkle was worried about Tirek's energy blast having some adverse affect on her if she felt the need to move out of the way quickly. critics on Youtube can be cringe sometimes, but then that is a platform that normalizes that behavior for clickbait.
  12. In my death battle suggestion I made earlier, before anyone says that is Chrysalis cheating by gaining the powers from others, her opponent being an artificial life form is not exactly a fair fight either. Prep time and all the rest of the amps given was necessary in my opinion to even the playing field and make that death battle more entertaining for fans to watch if it were to happen in an animated video. One sided battles are boring.
  13. Here's another dangerous death battle situation if a crossover happened between two fictional characters, Queen Chrysalis from My Little Pony vs Shadow the Hedgehog from Sonic the Hedgehog, Chrysalis had prep time, managed to master chaos control with the chaos emeralds after learning about them, and gained Sonic's super speed because she ambushed him and siphoned his energy away, it is stated in the wiki that Chrysalis in the comic version of MLP can steal others magic when using her love draining abilities, this would imply physical attributes as well, I mean, Sonic's powers aren't exactly rooted in science. To use an analogy here, in Dragonball fiction, it was shown that characters had to use Ki to enhance their physical abilities, because biology alone was never enough to secure a victory for either side of a battle. Ki is sort of like magic, but it is not spell casting or divine intervention, in eastern mythology it is the energy of the life force in living beings. Ki is not rooted in science either and has never been proven to exist in reality, but you get my point here. I do believe Chrysalis love draining abilities in My Little Pony to be a censored type of life force drain, as when she uses it she does weaken another character.
  14. Who would win a death battle, Queen Chrysalis from My Little Pony or Rita Repulsa from Power Rangers?
  15. True, FLAC is flexible in that regard. I have to use compression anyway on my Pi 5 setup because SD cards have bad lifespans unless you use the high endurance ones, but they have problems of their own, slow write speeds, really if people want both good speed and reliability they should use an SSD. People did complain that the Pi 5 did not come with an NVme SSD slot, which I can understand why, 100 megabytes per second read/write speed is definitely not helpful, not even in Linux when web browsers constantly access the drive cache for cookies and whatever else. I've read on other forums where people have managed to kill their SD cards in a matter of months when using them in the Pi, but if it happens to me, as long as I got files backed up which I do, It's not too much of a problem anyways, because SD cards, even the Sandisk extreme pro ones don't cost too much. I just have to be careful how I use it that is all.

  18. What I wrote about Princess Celestia to my friend Sparklefan1234

    "Princess Celestia would be a fun individual to be a friend of IMO, if me and some friends I know existed in the fictional world Equestria as Ponies I could easily see myself being friends with her, they'd like her too including you I'd imagine. Celestia is fun, she does not stress out too much about things that cannot be helped, I think people underestimate her wisdom sometimes, she knows nothing is perfect, so she tries her best to make life enjoyable for herself and other residence of Equestria. Her personality is beautiful, to put it simply. Yes, she tests others ability to solve problems but despite the trollestia memes about her, she does not enjoy making others suffer, and what I would respect about her, is she encourages others to figure out problems on their own. What is the alternative? her babying her subjects and doing everything for them? that is worse, IMO."

  19. Worried, not anything about health at the moment, but I need to get another CD rack, messy, worried about knocking CDs off and smashing them or their cases, after how many years collecting them.
  20. Love how united this community is as I'm chillin' listening to music on my computer and reading the posts between people here.
  21. Some people may call me a wimp for this, but Queen Chrysalis is one villain who would scare the living daylights out of me if I were in the fantasy world Equestria from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. I would not let that stop me going to that place in an imaginary scenario it could happen, though, because sometimes in life to get the result we want, even for the purposes of friendship, love and redemption, we need to face our fear. On the good note, since that place is not real, we do not have to deal with villains from that world. :twilightsmile:

  22. Any thoughts about Princess Celestia? the older sister of Princess of the Night, also known as Princess Luna?

      I think Lullaby for a Princess music video did justice to the history of Princess Luna and Celestia, even after banishing Luna to the moon for a thousand years, Celestia must have been heartbroken. It would not have been an easy decision for her, some people may think she was at fault for this, but people need to try to imagine themselves in her hooves, what would they had done differently if their own sibling went on a rampage because of a misunderstanding that turned violent? it would not have been fair or reasonable, to expect Celestia to just let herself be killed in battle. Of course I like Princess Luna, however as you said, to serve her is to also honor her sister. I don't support the animosity some fans have toward Celestia either, it is not easy to rule a Kingdom, even in the real world, politics is difficult. What I like about Princess Celestia in MLP FIM show, she rules her Kingdom without causing war, where others resorted to violence, she shown mercy, so yes, I do love Celestia, I don't agree with every decision she has made however disagreements can occur with civility and compassion, there is a thing called being bipartisan.

      I don't like that video. 

      I know that places me in a very small minority. 

      It's a jewel of the fandom by a very solid majority consensus. 

      Nothing is going to change that. 

      What happened was terrible, it was a public tragedy and disaster for Equestria, a family tragedy for the Princesses and worst of all a very dramatic magical imbalance. 

      So, ponies everywhere are going to try to deal with it in their own ways, and some pony made the video, and it seems to have struck a chord and resonated with a great many ponies. Which is fine. I don't agree. I don't like the video, I have my reasons.

      But, I am not an unbiased voice, though I might counter that by saying that on this matter, no one is unbiased, and that in itself is a good thing. 

      Equestria is not what it is because ponies tend to take an objective view of things.

      That is fine, I cannot say I liked the ending of the official show from G4 though, while I suppose Princess Celestia and Princess Luna would have to retire some time, the way that was done was careless, and out of character, you see, Princess Twilight Sparkle needed more time to prepare for her eventual coronation in my opinion. This could have been dealt with in G5. A story about new Ponies as well as Mane Six ruling Equestria with balance in mind. In my fan fiction of MLP after some thought, if I continue on writing it, I will write the story in a way that leads up to Luna's and Celestia's retirement, but as Alicorns who have served their duties and are immortal, they ascend to Nirvana, a higher state of being, in this state they exist in a realm of eternal peace, they can go almost anywhere in the multiverse (A bit like Goku at the end of Dragonball GT), and voluntarily give guidance to any mortal who needs or wants it from them. Adding a bit of eastern mythology enhances the magical aspect of Equestria IMO.

  23. Larger than mp3 yes, FLAC IMO offers the ideal middle ground between metadata support and quality. It's lossless, but it doesn't consume almost a gigabyte per CD album in doing so. Depending on the compression ratio a CD consisting of 20 songs can get below 500 megabytes. I hope Amazon scraps mp3 for new customers and upgrades to FLAC for music distribution, Beatport and Bandcamp are way ahead of them.
  24. From me to my friend @Sparklefan1234

    What do you think? :pinkiesmile:

    "Princess Celestia would be a fun individual to be a friend of IMO, if me and some friends I know existed in the fictional world Equestria as Ponies I could easily see myself being friends with her, they'd like her too including you I'd imagine.

      It's perfect. No notes, my friend. :twilightsheepish::hug_day: As a Celestia fan, I fully approve.
