Tulpa Discussion Thread V1.2
SonOfTheNorthe replied to Rizoel & Crepuscule's topic in General Discussion
I'd recommend not making a tulpa based on a character. My tulpa, Aurora, was originally Fluttershy. She deviated a whole bunch, and now, she practically loses her shit any time I compare her to Fluttershy. Identity crisis, man. [Hi guys!]- 4,983 replies

Dark Souls is the Starry Night, the Mona Lisa, the Statue of David of video games. The level design is completely amazing. You can go through 95% of the game with no loading screens, because everything is intertwined and connected, and loops back on itself. It makes great use of vertical space. Each area feels like part of world, not part of a level. Now lets talk about the fusion of themeing and mechanics. In the world of Dark Souls, there are people with the curse of the Darksign, called Undead. Undead cannot die. Each time they are killed, they are reborn. Eventually, Undead will give into hopelessness or despair, or possibly anger, and become hollows, mindless ghouls who feast on souls. You character is an undead. Each time you die, you respawn at a bonfire. Now, for newer players, the game is hard. Very hard. They might get frustrated. They might want to quit. That's where the genius comes in. Each time you the player dies, you feel a little bit more frustrated. If you get angry enough, you'll quit playing the game. When you've given up on the game, when you put it down for the last time, YOU'VE GONE HOLLOW. Truly, Miyazaki is a genius who can never be surpassed. In addition is the moral ambiguity. Both endings have their upsides and downsides. What may at first glance seem only a monstrous brute turns out to be a deformed younger brother watching over his sister's grave. What at first glance seems to be a cold-blooded murderer is only a guy trying to liberate a martyr from her unending pain. And the most sacred of quests is only struggling to resist change. As for the gameplay itself... Sure, it's difficult, but not unfairly so. People can struggle to beat this game at level 80, and people can breeze through the game at level 1 without dying. It's all about learning patterns and reacting. There is no single-best weapon. Each have their own unique movesets and can carry you through the whole game. The game is challenging, but it's also fair. Every enemy follows the same rules you do. Most can be bled, or poisoned, or have their poise broken. Some can dodge and gain i-frames too. They can parry you and backstab you, and you, them. Bleh. I could go on for days, but I've got homework I procrastinating on.

I planned on making a video to discuss this episode, but I never got around to it. Here's the script. "It's pretty much universally agreed that Spike at your Service is pretty much shit. But why? After thoughrough investigation, I have come to the conclusion that it's because Spike is a useless and clumsy little twat. He used to be, you know, competent, but in this episode he's had his brain switched with Derpy. I like the concept of the episode, I do. The problem was it's shit execution. So how can you fix it? Here's how. The episode starts off the same. Spike accidentally lets the balloon loose, him grabbing on, being dragged to the everfree forst, AJ saving hm. Now, here's where it gets different. Instead of the conflict coming from Spike being a bumbling idiot, and AJ wanting him to GTFO, it comes from Spike overworking himself, causing him ill health. He never sleeps in the process of working constantly, hardly eats, ect, being kept going only by his sense of debt to Applejack. Applejack at the beginning lets Spike work only because she'd feels like she'd be pissing in his cereal if she didn't let him pay his debt to her, but later tries to get him to stop, to no avail, because he's working himself much too hard. In the end, they stage the Timberwolf attack, and everything goes pretty much the same from there on out. So now we have two morals in one episode! "Some debts don't need to be repaid "That's just what friends do."" and "Don't work yourself too hard. Hire me Hasbro." Copyright SonOfTheNorthe AKA HeavyMetalHorseman 2014

How long are you usually online the forum?
SonOfTheNorthe replied to Lato's topic in General Discussion
I pretty much only come to to laugh at the gold that is this forum, with such gem threads such as (these are all real): "Are you a Racist?" "Do you have a non-pony waifu?" "Pro-feminism thread" "I came out as a brony to my parents!" "Fedoras" -
So, uh, how does he make hand signs?

Why is Coco Pommel so popular?
SonOfTheNorthe replied to Gustyvelvet's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
Well, why don't we take a poll and ask disabled people how they feel about Derpy? I, for one, have seen more disabled people who like Derpy more than hate her. I cant' even remember the last time I've heard a disabled person claim they didn't like Derpy, but I've seen quite a few posts from disabled people who love her. All the hate for Derpy comes from people who aren't even disabled. It's even more offensive to assume that they can't speak up for themselves. -
Why is Coco Pommel so popular?
SonOfTheNorthe replied to Gustyvelvet's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
Slapstick comedy is rooted in exaggeration. Someone dropping a vase isn't funny. Someone accidentally destroying all of city hall with only their butt is. Come on, this is comedy 101. And wouldn't you be kinda miffed if you're trying to fix something when some other person comes along and destroys all your work, and all the property surrounding it? -
Why is Coco Pommel so popular?
SonOfTheNorthe replied to Gustyvelvet's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
Carefully crafted manipulation of your paternal instincts. It wasn't mean spirited. That shit's been going around on the internet forever before that episode aired, all in good fun. And yeah, a mental handicap won't make you break things. But a lack of depth perception caused by bad eyes might. Imagine having crossed eyes 24/7. By the way, just a wild guess, you don't happen to spend a lot of time on Tumblr, do you? -
Even worse: Posting a small portion of your completed project. I posted a song on August 6th. After a year and a half, I added 15 seconds and some drums. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxTdg5J_bi0 I posted this update January 6th. It it now October 13th and I have not done shit with it. FINISH IT ASAP BEFORE YOU LOSE INTEREST OR GIVE YOURSELF A FALSE SENSE OF REWARD FOR 30 SECOND DEMO.

Protip: Never, EVER tell people what you're going to do or what you've got planned. It actives the reward center in your brain and you feel like you've done something even though you haven't. And then you jack off for 6 months before saying "Hey, I was gonna do this thing...", and then maybe doing it. I know from experience.

SonOfTheNorthe posted a topic in Requestria
Would someone be willing to draw my OC? Imgur link here. http://i.imgur.com/rE9HL5F.png If you could draw her, but with short hair, that'd be neato. Super bonus points for drawing her in multiple angles/multiple short-haired hairstyles. -

While I have not taken heroin personally, it is usually either smoked or injected with a needle. I have heard it described as sobriety being compared to walking in a cold winter night for hours upon hours, and heroin is coming home, wrapping yourself in a warm electric blanket, and sipping a mug of hot coco. I've also heard it described as a calm so peaceful it's like a glimpse into heaven. The bad part is, once the feeling is over, it's like paradise is being torn from your fingers. Oftentimes, (but not always) you'll crave the stuff more than food. Don't do heroin, kids. Erowid has a lot of trip reports for a lot of drugs, so look around here. http://www.erowid.org/experiences/subs/exp_Heroin.shtml
