    We could later on, if you'd prefer, there's no hurry or expectation, just a suggestion, discuss metaphysics in My Little Pony Friendship is Magic and the possible ties to eastern mythologies.

    One thing I love about Friendship is Magic story telling, is paradise is earned, not given. In order to have peace, they need to go through trial and tribulation, magic can be used as a tool for either good or evil, but ultimately they must rely on the forces of unity to save them from a grim outcome. Treating others with respect and kindness, even other species not only Ponies, earns them their freedom from those who seek to destroy it.

    Hungry, I am about to eat in a moment so that does not matter. I am going to pick up The Best of Mike and the Mechanics CD album next week, because I like some of their songs, Silent Running, Over My Shoulder and All I Need is a Miracle, I may pick up an album of Gary Numan while I am at it as well. I have friends and a support group to keep me going, just as I wish others to have for themselves regardless of how chaotic the real world is. Life ain't fair sometimes, but as Twilight Sparkle in My Little Pony FIM said before others saved her and her friends from destruction in season 9, "We face it together." Yeah my obsession with MLP and daydreaming about it may be a symptom of some psychiatric disorder you mentioned before, but that is what fear of a dying and violent world does to you, it certainly has affected my mental state, at least I am on medication for my anxiety and depression though, some people in the world don't even get that, their mental health problems left untreated makes them more likely to self harm.

    Silent Running definitely a good song from Mike and the Mechanics, 1980's definitely was a great time for rock music.

    The lyrics of the song from Mike and the Mechanics song Silent Running, an old song and has nothing to do with My Little Pony but when I listened the lyrics of the song, I am reminded of Rainbow Dash from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, her patriotism for Equestria, she is a Wonderbolt, and as for the non MLP song I was talking about, the otherworldly like instrumentation of the song, kind of goes well with what the show stands for. I particularly liked the part in the lyrics that said "Swear allegiance to the flag, whatever flag they offer." It's inclusive, means defend freedom, no matter which nation we are with.

    I think I may need to step outside as I do need a dose of serotonin myself, instead of being stuck in my room with some thoughts about things I cannot fix, however I wrote this on my profile recently.

    If there are any fictional writings that are similar to the real world, it's Samurai Jack, Aku rules the future, evil has become the unstoppable force keeping the world locked in a perpetual state of conflict. Only there is no Samurai Jack to save us, Aku does not exist, but people like him do, but there are a lot of awful people who will never be stopped. I feel disillusioned with the world because kindness is almost never part of the decision making process. My Little Pony Friendship is Magic is different though, if I could talk to fictional character Luna, if she approached me about this, I could say to her "Why should I waste my life fighting for a world that will never change?" I'd make the case strongly, that I am tired of living in this world. All I have now, are daydreams of a world that can never be, including my fan fiction about transmigration into Equestria.

    Why do I say all this about Equestria from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic? why would I wish to be in that fantasy realm? I would have something to believe in, something worth fighting for, efforts for justice would not be wasted because there are enough like-minded individuals who also want the same thing, and not just selfishly destroying their world for the sake of materialism or vain aggression. I cannot bring the specifics of politics because if I did that my post would get flagged up for moderation. Just know that in the real world, there's nothing for me to fight for, because my faith in humanity gets wasted on a world that is not going to change for the better. Belief can be a strong thing, it gives us the drive to be somebody we never thought possible before, but belief in the impossible is not helpful.

    I wrote this to The Equestria Goth :twilightsmile: "I love Celestia. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are the Monarchs I would serve if I were in the fictional world Equestria, their compassion for their subjects, their ability to resolve differences without causing conflict, is admirable, I would pledge my loyalty to them, I have a few friends who said the same thing and even daydream about it sometimes. There are no other Rulers I'd serve, only them. How awesome it would be to live in Equestria, in a world more peaceful than this one. I'd be grateful, and in an imaginary scenario where I could go there if they reached out to me, like in my fan fiction where Luna looks for souls to be reborn there after passing on, I'd choose this if I could. I'd love to be there, a Pegasi, in a world where compassion keeps their society orderly and in balance."

    I laughed about this too, I love The Lion King, also them hyenas learned too late that the rage of a Warthog is serious business.

    It is so nice when people are hugging. Also that gif from the show is cute as well, Trixie and Starlight Glimmer hugging, so adorable the way Trixie slowly trots over to Starlight, then hugs with a smile and her eyes closed. <3 As to how I am feeling today, better than usual, I've had a good night sleep if that's what anyone else is caring to ask, I'm not irritable like I was yesterday. But that's not important, what is important is how adorable this community is. Thank you for the cute hugs, seeing you being civil with each other is so lovely to see, Snoopy Fan, ZiggWheelsManning and you TheRockARooster. I've been listening to Mike and the Mechanics songs on Youtube.

    Silent Running · Mike + The Mechanics

    Since you like 1980's rock songs, you may remember this one, Mike and the Mechanics - Silent Running, great song, I used to listened to this one at a friend's house many years back. :twilightsmile: have a good day Night Sky. Unless you have anything to reply with, it's best I not tag you anything else.

      I love this one. Classic Tune, classic music video. Kind of an interesting film it was on the soundtrack too...

      Stephen Collins is known to me as Cmdr. Deckard from the first Star Trek Film, and I vastly prefer to remember him as such, neither as the preacher patriarch, or who he really turned out to be in irl. But, you will still hear this track in waiting rooms and department stores in the States, if you've been waiting for an hour or so. Super nostalgia. Vanished era. It scares me that I remember this. Feels like a thousand years ago.

    Good morning, Night Sky, I had a talk with Samurai Equine about Princess Celesita and DrWolf's video about her.

    Celestia is a kind and gentle Pony, it's like DrWolf said, Celestia could have been vindictive about it and left her previous enemies Discord and Nightmare Moon to rot for eternity, but she did not. Actually the first episode of the show MLP FIM was endearing and is one of the best in the series for me, because her reunion with Princess Luna showed just how deeply she cares about the importance of mercy in maintaining peace and order in a kingdom, by not promoting violence, she is inspiring Ponies to be so much more peaceful to each other than the world humans inhabit will ever be, collectively the human condition is too far gone and are on a path to extinction IMO.

      I applaud this guy for his thoughtfulness. He may be putting too fine a point on it though.

      Remember, the Crew of the Enterprise D was always very short on patience when it came to Q, at least until his later appearances. 

      FIM could simply have chosen to substitute Princess Celestia, who is in charge, for Captain Picard. I don't think anything scarred Princess Celestia worse that the rupture with Princess Luna. 

      They had everything back where it needed to be and then thanks to Discord, Legion of DOOM. 

      I think everyone was ready to murder him at that point, though not in the same way or to the same degree.

      Oh I agree, and about the fight between Luna and Celestia at the beginning, 1,000 years prior to Friendship is Magic, I'd imagine this would have left a deep wound in Princess Celestia's psyche, heartbroken she had to do the unthinkable to save herself and Equestria from an out of control Nightmare Moon, this may explain one reason why she is so merciful, she has seen the ugliness of violence firsthoof, realizing this, she does not want other families to feel the same way. That's love and the beauty of her inner strength.

      it's also as we discussed, there are hints to eastern mythology being woven into MLP FIM as well, Friendship is Magic extends to all living beings, the more they learn about relationships and how to treat others with kindness, the more justice there is. It's sort of like Oneness and universal love promoted in Buddhism.

    Having some orange juice while I am thinking what I am going to do after I wake up tomorrow. Perhaps post about an MLP episode or two, or private message Snoopy Fan again, or talk with Night Sky.

    This part of Flutter Brutter episode was hilarious :D

    Zephyr Breeze's mane went all spiky from getting zapped by Rainbow Dash, and then as soon as he tells Fluttershy what happened, Fluttershy immediately knew her no-hoper brother failed to do his job right at Wonderbolt headquarters.

    Wow Fluttershy looks so miffed there though, but I cannot say I blame her,

    she is at the limit of her patience, you can tell.

    Since you would be a sworn patriot to Equestria as I would be if I lived in that fantasy world with you, I've come up with a cool name for a reserve defence team for Princes Celestia and Princess Luna "United Equestrian Dynasty" you can use that title for your character to be in that group if you wish in this MLP fan fiction. :twilightsmile:

      I may make a fan art of the banner, which you can use some point as well, I've told Snoopy Fan but I don't want to spoil the surprise. But the banner would go great with that I think, yeah feel free to use that group name in your about yourself part of your profile, it's yours as much as mine, I'd share that title with individuals who wish to be part of that. :proud: have fun with it, create your own banner if desired.

    What I did admire about Sega's attempt with Sonic Adventure is this was really Sonic's first successful 3D game, the other 3D Sonic attempts of the past were pants IMO, including but not limited to, 3D Blast, but that was more a limitation of the older gen hardware, which meant 3D Blast could not have been made a true 3D game, it had to be isometric which made Sonic harder to control. Even then, 3D Blast had good music still. . But in Sonic Adventure for the first time we had a worthwhile Sonic game with 3D world environments to explore, hidden collectibles, rings and extra lives became farm-able with the shovel claw with Knuckles, before that you had to access either the zones or specific areas of the hub world to get rings, Casinopolis still gets you a lot of rings, but if you fall into the under side of the level, you can end up losing them to Badniks so it's not considered reliable, Speed Highway is where I farmed rings and extra lives, which by the way has awesome music with it.

    I mean, Big did spend about a quarter of the game chasing a frog he couldn't contain. Ah well, we cannot have it all our own way. The biggest issue with Sonic Adventure in my opinion was the lousy PC port, had worse textures than the Dreamcast version, it can be modded, but really, we shouldn't have to and it would not have been an issue in the first place if we got a definitive release of the game on modern hardware like the Nintendo Switch. The soundtrack on the PC version of Sonic Adventure was the same from what I can tell though. I have a version on PC disc that has WMA files of the music. And I must say it is loaded with bangers like this one, Mt Red: A Symbol of Thrill.

    I hope Silent Dusk is feeling better now, like I know he said he was taking medication after being diagnosed with gastroparesis, earlier yesterday he said he woke up and puked in the bathroom. Like that sounds like a condition that will need ongoing treatment but he has been to the hospital.
  23. Dawnshine Wonder
    Hey look folks, it is that time again, the theme of time wasting. Ironically, I found this hilarious, but only because of how absurd this part of Sonic Adventure was.

    For the time being you could use the on screen keyboard app if you're using Windows. That'll let you use any key with your mouse, but yeah it looks to me like some keys are going bad.

    I did want Queen Chrysalis to reform but I also have the realistic perspective to say not all villains will, nor are they expected to, and in the end it cost her everything in MLP FIM, even her freedom. But I am not going to go out of my way about the story to justify what she did, because after Thorax showed her there was a better solution, she refused it, her ego was the problem, not Starlight Glimmer. The problem with MLP community is too many people more easily rally behind the hate Starlight Glimmer camp because of the other aspects of her story in the series like when she used to be a villain and a vicious tyrant, but when you look at it from both sides objectively in To Where and Back Again, you will see why Chrysalis was the problem in this situation. Her hive getting totalled was 100% on her, Thorax had a better plan that could have secured Changelings energy for generations to come, and Chrysalis tried to ruin it because she does not like kindness.
