Hey, I felt one of those weird desires to go down memory lane and check out this place again. Then after looking through memory lane a bit, I decided that I should just post something here just as a sort of closure perhaps? I don't want anyone to worry about me so I felt this was the proper thing to do.
Basically to anyone who's still here and knows me or had known me at any point...
Hey guys! Zygen here! I hope everyone here is doing great! I apologize to those who I may have worried and many of you may never read this, but I just wanted to thank you for your worries, it's really touching to think that I made enough of an impact on so many individual's lives in the time I spent here!
I will get this out of the way, I'm not really planning to post here anymore or come back or anything, this isn't a return post, I wouldn't consider myself a Brony anymore, not out of any distaste or anything for any individual or the fandom or anything, I've just sort of moved on I guess you could say.
But that being said, I really do treasure the impact that everyone here has had on me during my time here! I looked through a lot of old Pms and stuff, and there were so many of you that put forth a helping hand and helped me in my times of need, and I very much appreciate each and every individual who has done so!
Just as a sort of update, I am currently a university student studying Computer Science! It has been going pretty good! I've made plenty of friends, had plenty of great experiences and learned so much!
Sure, life is never perfect, there have been plenty of struggles, but I think looking back on myself and comparing myself to now, I actually do feel like I've made so much progress, when it comes to many of my own issues, and improving myself as a human being. So overall, life has been good!
There are likely many of you I will never talk to again, in some interesting ways, I feel it might be best that way? But I just wanted to let all of you know that I am incredibly grateful for everything that the people here have done for me! I hope that all of you realize how amazing you can be and perhaps derive something from my appreciation post that may help you all in your lives!
Remember, you are all awesome! I really do mean it! Don't let yourself think less of what you can be! There is nothing stopping you from being amazing! (That is something I continue to try and teach myself!)
That's about it I guess, I may or may not respond to this, since this is kind of meant to be closure, but I hope everyone who reads this understands and it serves some kind of purpose.
And to those who don't know me at all.... Hey LOL, I use to post here(obsessively) but no longer do! Greetings! And I hope I wish for you all the best of luck here and in life!
Peace out my dudes!

@Cwanky Haha, thanks my dude! And honestly I'm probably not going to stick around, I've just kind of got busy and maybe i'll potentially watch the rest, but eh you know what I mean?
Glad to see ya again though my dude! -

Have I mentioned that my brother essentially traded my computer for his? This was Christmas actually and a gift technically from him to me, but he gave it to me because he never used his really that much, and his is much better than my overall, so yeah, I don't think i've mentioned that to anyone, so I figured i should.

That is such an amazingly clever idea! A pony clock is cool on it's own, but it's funny that you used Lyra specifically due to her fandom backstory fitting so well into that cleverness. And the overall art just looks really great! I could see people actually investing in such a clock, it looks like it would be pretty awesome actually. I could see it becoming a fairly popular product, but regardless the art is good!

YouTube related videos are weird sometimes, and maybe they came across it and hating the show decided to dislike it. I imagine it's probably just that though, nothing really that complex, people think disliking the crap out of a YouTube video is going to make some kind of point to the fanbase I guess, but honestly it doesn't really matter to me, or to most people I know, so it's kinda a waste of their time. -
Not really honestly, I mean I took Spanish this past semester in highschool(2nd spanish class) and I guess I could try to sing something in Spanish, but it would be fairly difficult. I'm sure there are other languages that with enough studying of the lyrics I could maybe get, I wouldn't know what I was saying. I think I'll probably just stick to improving my normal English singing though ;p, although it would be cool to sing something in another language, maybe I'll actually try it sometime.

I wasn't even aware you could record gameplay off a PC using a capture card. I think the typical reasoning is more so because without one it's almost impossible to record console gameplay to my knowledge. Fraps is pretty demanding on frames sometimes though, I hear there are better options, but I have no real personal experience honestly. But as far as capture cards go, to my knowledge they are traditionally for capturing console gameplay, correct me if I'm wrong though, i'm not really that experienced with the whole thing, i've just never personally seen it done.

I guess as an American I appreciate my freedom (MURICA) No but seriously, I really do appreciate that I can be whatever I choose to be, and am not forced to do something, as well as other freedoms I get. Also the fact that overall we have a pretty good quality of life. I don't live in conditions in which I'm worried for my life daily or anything. America in my opinion isn't really as bad of a country as people make it out to be, sure, we have our share of issues, but i'm sure everyone is well aware of that stuff, I try to be grateful for what we have however.

161-2 girls basketball domination (coach takes heat)
Zygen replied to Green Precision's topic in General Discussion
Honestly I don't think there should be any heat for this really, unless the coach was like flat out aggressive to the other team while they were beating them, or like insulting them or something, but if they won by that score they won, that's that. I guess it sucks for the other team and I feel bad for them in a way, but on the other hand I don't think the coach deserves any heat because the players played well. You don't always win in competitions, sometimes you do win, and sometimes you get beaten bad, that's how it goes with anything competitive, and you have to learn to take that loss, suck it up, and utilize it to improve. I think that's my thoughts atleast on the matter. -
I'm liking how my Desktop looks overall right now I think... http://puu.sh/eOdFB/ac786b170d.jpg

I'm not sure exactly what a Flutter-pony is entirely, but your drawing looks really good, and has made me like it, so I'd say a job well done! I honestly don't see much to complain or critique about it, a few messy edges I guess here and there I can see, but they are fairly hard to notice so I'd say it's hardly a big deal, especially if this was simply a quick done sketch. So a job well done!

The way I've always understood furry's as being is those who like anthropomorphic animals, not just a show about animals(ponies in this case) given a more human-like personality. I wouldn't say they're closely related enough to automatically categorize bronies into the same thing as furries, that's simply being to general. Infact, even in a generalization I don't know if it would really be correct, as being a brony isn't quite directly correlated enough to furries to be considered in the same generalization. That said, of course bronies can be furries, but it isn't a given, I don't personally consider myself a furry, but I do consider myself a brony. There is also the issue however of the fact that both terms aren't exactly dictionary defined or anything. Even just concerning the term "Brony" many are split on what constitutes as a brony exactly. And the same I'm sure is true with the furries. So I guess it depends to an extent, however I lean towards no in my personal opinion, but there could easily be variance on the answer really depending on the individual and his view of it. -
Ok, that hello thing came out kinda wrong, lemme try this again. I've really missed you guys, but despite that I just haven't come back here because idk, I guess I was worried I'd go back to complaining and being annoying, but I do really miss talking to you guys... Hopefully some of you still get to read this, i'm sorry that I just kinda disappear and reappear and hardly say hello or goodbye, I hope everyones doing well, Love you guys <3.

@Jeric, Woot seems very out of character for you, but i'll let it slide
.Being busy is nice sometimes, it makes you feel accomplished typically I find, but yeah.
I can't say I honestly keep up with hockey really, but I did play floor hockey in P.E for a little while last year, and I was fairly good(partially because nobody knew what was going on, and I was a hyper aggressive center ;p.)

Well, i'm a pretty terrible person. Todays been a long day for me. And sorry I haven't been here, I just haven't been feeling it, or just felt like doing something else, or just got caught doing something else, or idk. I just haven't been here for whatever reason. Idk how many people still really care about me here however, but regardless it makes me feel better to vent out my feelings, to some extent I guess, even if I don't have anyone to read them.

Do you feel bad for not being here? It's nice to know you think of us, but just check in as you need.
And anyone who's been there for you til now, is probably still caring about you x) That won't change so easily.
Hope things work out for ya, Z. I often glance for notifications and then zoom off elsewhere, so...join me >

You have issues with the scarecrow levels? Even on my bleh APU which doesn't really run the game at amazing quality and excellent framerate or anything hasn't had any issues from what I remember playing scarecrow levels. I don't remember exact numbers for what I normally run in contrast to the scarecrow levels, but I can tell you it wasn't anything noticable enough for me to remember. I have not actually finished the game yet though, but I have gone through 2 scarecrow levels thus far, and noticed nothing, maybe it's some graphics effect you have turned on that I don't that gets intensified like crazy in scarecrow's levels? Otherwise I have no idea frankly.

school tommorow.. and a busy day in general, I guess I best get some rest, goodnight y'all.

I don't really think that people should just be allowed to touch people whenever. Maybe have it be more acceptable between friends or something, but even then i wouldn't even really consider it something required. Personally i'd just like to see more emotional connection, not necessarily physical connection, but physical connection is a possible part of said emotional connections, if that makes any sense. On the other hand though, random hugs are awesome in a way, depending on the situation. Interesting idea, but idk how that would work, and would be kinda weird in a sense xD. Be much easier to just ask them probably. And yeah, I'm not usually an offerer myself unless I know they would like them. I also don't really give kisses, I find that to be a little be to much in most cases, besides family, otherwise it's just odd to me. But I do love hugs, although I can also be really awkward with giving hugs for some reason, even if I do like them, which I think may give people the impression at times I don't like hugs or something, when in reality I just suck at them. I get the exact same type of feeling sometimes myself . -
So for whatever reason my gamepad isn't working with Sonic adventure 2, but works with sonic generations, and Sonic adventure DX(Well the analog stick won't work for some reason on Sonic adventure DX) so yeah. In other news I apparently didn't get the logictech profiler software I was suppose to get for the gamepad, which I'm not entirely sure what it's for, oh well.

Dude, I know exactly what you mean. There have been many many times that I'll be watching MLP, and i'll start thinking, "Why can't I have that? Why can't I have those beautiful deep true friendships? Why can't the world in general have those friendships? Why must they be so rare?" and all kinds of other deep thinking. Sure MLP is a cartoon, yeah yeah, I know that, i'm not an idiot. But still, why is it that those types of friendships are almost nonexistent it seems? Seeing those heartwarming moments on MLP are both heartwarming at times for me, but at other times they make me feel so lonely, and so unloved, so unwanted, maybe even jealous. Especially as a guy, where sometimes even just giving hugs can be considered by some as "gay", it just seems like those kinds of friendships are so rare, and idk, I just feel like I wish my real friendships could be something closer to that, or just even the world in general. But when I realize it may never be, It's quite saddening to say the least. Maybe I'm just a wishful thinker for it, but that doesn't really change how I feel sometimes about the whole thing, it's quite true unfortunately that our world can be quite cold at times, as a lot of us are raised to fear others, and look out for only ourselves. Maybe i'm just overly caring about this stuff, or overthinking it, but I do sometimes wish real life friendships were more like those in MLP, because it's just so heartwarming and beautiful to see those friendships, even between a group of fictional ponies. But yeah, I know exactly what you mean dude, I think the same think basically all the time...

Well, I just got a Logictech F310 Gamepad, mostly because I wanted to get something to use with my computer for those games that are just to awkward to play with a keyboard and mouse. it's not the greatest controller ever I know, but it works, and I got it for relatively cheap (like 12 bucks) so I guess thus far I'm happy. Finally had something to play Sonic Generations with ;p.

I'm not sure that's physically possible ;p.
