  1. Holding Back the Years (2008 Remaster) · Simply Red
  2. Putting together a food shopping list for next week.
  3. Let us explore something fun and imaginary. What part of Equestria would you choose to live in? this is an entirely subjective point of view, as there is no better or worse answer here, it depends on your character traits and what you value most from the show My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. So there is no need for debate which is superior. For me personally, if it wasn't in Ponyville itself, I'd say rural outskirts of Ponyville would probably be better fit as I would like the quiet life, and I am not talking about Everfree Forest, which is dangerous. I enjoy thrill and adventure, but becoming a garden statue from an encounter with a Cockatrice we can all agree would suck. Not saying Fluttershy's choices are bad, she knows how to handle threats there, but if anyone here in an imaginary scenario were born in Equestria that does not necessarily mean you will know how to deal with problems in Everfree Forest or anywhere else unfamiliar to you, how you adapt to your environment is important. As unusual as it may sound, with me wishing to be a pegasus and all, Cloudsdale would not be my habitat of choice. Flying would be fun, but depending on which part of Cloudsdale you go it can be a competitive environment, it's helpful for Wonderbolts, but not for someone like me. Learning from Applejack at Sweet Apple Acres on the other hoof, would be a great experience, because learning to cultivate edible plants, in her case, apples, would be a valuable asset. Some may find bucking for apples enjoyable or emotionally draining, it all depends on your state of health, outlook and predisposition. But like in the real world, survival in Equestria starts with agriculture. To appreciate the beauty of nature is to connect with it.
  4. If I could afford it, this is the DAC I would upgrade to, the SMSL DO200 appears to measure greatly in test results like crosstalk, channel separation and total harmonic distortion. This is something I could see being very useful to pair with a quality set of studio monitors. Why I would pick this over the DO400 if I had the money would be simple, I already have a quality headphone amplifier, and I would want to avoid getting into diminishing returns territory. But either one of those options could be beneficial for some other people who do not. Perhaps you have a nice pair of Hifiman Sundaras or Sennheiser HD660S2's which you may want to try that with, or a different set of headphones entirely, it depends on your budget and how far you're willing to go with this. I wish you all a Merry Christmas come 25th of this month, and a happy New Year.
  5. If I were one of the animals kept as her pet, fine by me, she doesn't treat her pets like Pokemon, nothing to complain about really. I don't blame you for that, It's nice to have a nerd as a friend as they can keep us up to date on the do's and don'ts. Without education from Twilight Sparkle or Starlight Glimmer in a fictional world like that, I don't know how I'd survive in a world like Equestria, or get along with their population, being less informed means more susceptibility to being conned by the likes of Queen Chrysalis or Tirek. To not desire education, is basically the same thing as not caring about the well being of others, IMO.
  6. Home Alone 2 = Live Action Looney Tunes! Marv is immortal!
  7. I don't know who that person is, but rest assured I would never make friends with somebody like that.
  8. Ed Edd n Eddy Ed used thunderbolt, it's super effective, Double D fainted.
  9. Listening to The Ibiza Annual Ministry of Sound album.
  10. I believe that is called repetitive strain injury, it can still happen if you've not given your hand enough time to recover in between @ExplosionMare you may get time off on Christmas, I don't know, I hope that you do. Luckily I don't have RSI which is surprising as I use a keyboard a lot, in the past it did happen I think, when I was gaming with a friend online.
  11. Eddy from Ed Edd n Eddy cartoon would probably like to party with DJ-Pon3 from My Little Pony if a crossover happened, both like vinyl records. Actually as Eddy grows up, since he loves music, I could imagine him becoming a DJ too. Without his ego problem he would be more focused on his personal goals in life, and would probably like to learn where his music actually comes from.
  12. You've laid out the traits I admire in each of them, we all do. Rainbow Dash is funny sometimes, and also cool. She discovered that she liked to read books as well in Read it and Weep, one of my favourite episodes about her. She has her low points in the show as well like when she tried to force her pet Tortoise named Tank into not hibernating for the winter and blowing up the weather factory, and that other time she forced Fluttershy into a dangerous adventure to see dragons in Dragon Quest, but on the whole, I've seen more good than bad from Rainbow Dash. Her difficult moments are not an ongoing trend, sometimes when RD becomes snappy, she is in the right, like when she scolded her parents in Parental Glideance episode for reckless behavior and launching fireworks at her, I cannot fault her for that because she behaved like anybody else would in that situation, Rainbow Dash showed herself to be supportive of Fluttershy on numerous occasions as well, not just in Hurricane Fluttershy, but also in Flutter Brutter when Rainbow Dash became angry with Zephyr Breeze for taking advantage of Fluttershy's charity without giving back. on Christmas I want to watch Best Gift Ever, but after Christmas I intend to give the series MLP FIM a rewatch starting from episode 1, I got the DVD collection, though some people may only watch it on Youtube or digital libraries, it's better if you can get the physical copy because you're not limited to your internet connection, bluray disc readers are affordable and they don't care how good your internet is or if you even have one at all. As for your wish to be in Equestria because of the positivity that exists in that world, I know that feeling, it's such a beautiful world, I've seen it said by some other people they would wish for that, and now I understand why, what I'd give to end up in Equestria, none of my material possessions would mean anything in that situation. I don't know what type of Pony you'd wish to be in that fictional world, but I wish to be a Pegasus, in any case doing that would be more than just about flying, to agree to that would be a symbol, of appreciating their world and their culture. They're not perfect but they own up to it, embrace imperfection, and help each other through their problems. That is community spirit we do not always see in real life. Though admittedly, I see enough empathy on this forum. Nobody has ever once picked on us or accused us of anything negative for this wish.
  13. That would be fun, and that is so beautiful of you to say about Fluttershy, noting her caregiving for animals being a good reason for wanting to be her friend. the thing is Fluttershy is a very sensitive pony I would not want to upset even unintentionally, she is a favourite of mine from Mane Six, however had this been a real life situation instead of her being a fictional character, I'd be nervous around her, not because she is a problem, she is not, I would not know how to approach her. To hurt her even a little bit with the slightest mistake would leave me feeling guilty of my etiquette around her. Fluttershy is such a gentle pony where what is normally water under the bridge for some other Ponies, isn't so with her. Fluttershy won't even let others know she is hurting sometimes, even when we can clearly see it in the show, that's not a character flaw, that is her typical shy behavior, it took her a few seasons to learn to assert her boundaries. In G5 comics, Discord made a note of Fluttershy's forgiving nature sometimes gets exploited by others, which showed just how much he had grown as an individual and how much he came to respect Fluttershy. I've imagined scenarios like wearing flower crowns with Fluttershy, I don't know if anyone else here remembers me saying that, but I did in other sections of the forum. Caring for animals with her, yes, I'd love that. I'm just wondering if I'd be too flawed of a person to be deserving of a friend like her.
  14. I'm hoping I'll have a good dream tonight. If I dream of My Little Pony, well, I must be doing something right because then I'm filling my mind with pleasant thoughts. I wish everyone a good dream though, even if my own dreams suck, and they have done lately.
  15. Browsing this forum, anticipating Christmas, thinking what to do. Reminiscing over the discussion about Sonic Adventure 2 soundtrack with @ZiggWheelsManning Not sure which soundtrack I like better, Sonic Adventure 1 or 2.
  16. A person scolds another person on a different forum for using bold writing, then does the same thing, people can be hypocritical sometimes. There are some forums I would not want to join. I see this type of nitpicking occur often on social media platforms like Facebook, but I didn't expect to see it on ASR forum. I'm shocked. I respect their reviews, but when it comes to community, I'd rather observe them at a safe distance, because of how argumentative they appear to be for trivial matters.
  17. Just glad I got money saved up for other people's presents. With that taken care of, I'm focused on building up the small library of Christmas movies and TV specials to watch on Christmas day. The speaker amp can wait, it's not vital. What else I may buy? decorations, I guess. Tinsel and balloons, just some ideas.
  18. They're great, then again I don't know many of them, I just think it helped promote inclusivity in Equestria. They're not all cruel just because their Queen is. Their Queen uses coercion, ultimatums and emotional abuse to get what she wants. Reformed Changelings understood loyalty to Chrysalis was not worth losing their freedom, so they revolted and learned Ponies in Equestria offered something greater, and that was beautiful.
  19. Waiting for my My Little Pony Best Gift Ever DVD to turn up for Christmas. So I can use my old Panasonic DMP BDT700 player to watch it.
  20. That is what it comes down to, plus there is not enough demand in the market for fiber optic to be invested like that. But some technical experts, like Paul McGowan at PS Audio mentioned the unfortunate truths of this, Sony and Philips developed the SPDIF protocol, so technically they were responsible for the stagnation of Toslink, not Toshiba. Fiber optic is used in low latency and high bandwidth data transmission in internet, Toslink or some technology like it, could easily be updated for high end audio, and it would work better for the reasons that were discussed. And while Toslink cannot do two way communication, speakers and headphones do not need it. Some Hifi enthusiasts would much rather a signal be more stable and not risk damage to their equipment than have everything fed through a single cable.
  21. Everyone has their different skills, Applejack would be a good influence though, her knowledge on how to grow crops is a great survival skill, if we are to stretch the internal logic of the show a bit, to do that efficiently and with little to no help from other Ponies, it would definitely mean Applejack would have studied ecology and botany at least at its basic level if not PhD, understanding how plants grow means knowledge about soil PH, soil depletion, irrigation, what types of fungus are good for plants or not, and stuff like that. Remember that time when she wanted to keep fruit bats away from her farm? No one needs to tell her how to do her job, however Applejack did have pride in her work in Applebuck Season and she had to learn to accept help from friends when offered. The output of her produce was enhanced, not reduced when she did this. More apples per day, everypony benefits. Yeah learning how to buck for apples would be fun, and for that reason, I'd imagine being a roommate of Applejack, possibly, if in an imaginary scenario my wish came true and I got reborn in Equestria. But that's just a silly dream of mine, I know fan fiction has its limits. Even without the possibility of this happening, I still wish the same for other people who desired this, Pegasister or Brony, or non binary. But we can still have dreams about the fictional character Princess Luna, it would be kind of upsetting to wake up to be reminded she was never real, though, thus this wish is impossible.
  22. Yes, in an imaginary scenario we got to live in the fictional world Equestria is at, they would not want outsiders if they are just going to mooch off of them, that would not be fair, us getting a job there by the time we come of age post rebirth is a reasonable assumption to make. It would take a considerable change in psychology to make me a soldier, though, but if that came at the cost of me being a good person, that to me would be worthless. Then again if Queen Chrysalis used mind control on me to make that happen, say make me one of her drones, that would not be my fault.
  23. I like how Google search has saved me from making foolish assumptions.
  24. We don't get a lot of snow where I live at, it happens sometimes, but it would be awesome if it would occur more often around Christmas. I'd enjoy Christmas more if it was for small pleasures like that. If not for only myself as I don't get out often, at least for children who would get to enjoy playing in it outside. If we are to have a cold winter, I'd like it to be more interesting than just something that forces our heating bill to rise, snow may block roads, but black ice is even worse IMO. Pets may get cold in winter, but generally if their fur is too thin or if they do not have enough body fat, problems like that. We need coats though, and a lot of padding in weather like that.
