>I guess there's Wander too. I know little about it, but a non-fighting MMO with exploring griffons must sound like a refreshing MMO.

Unlucky my machine is old and has trouble to run 3d games anymore, but is a worth check when I get a new one (I hope soon).

>What I know about Linux gaming is basically its vendors and their general game selections.

Probably SteamOS is the most decisive step I saw that brought Linux in the gaming market, althought still has only a little share.
I'm not sure of what to think about the "SteamBox": while the SteamOS is finally the "OS for games" accessible to any developer and player on any machine that virtually can run it, making also an hardware where run it appears redundant. Could be useful for who haven't time/interest to pass time to choise hardware stuff, but is the concept of the consolles. Is some time I didn't read about the Steambox, but the last time I read that the price was high in comparison of a...

I was thinking more of that Wander apparently also is a PS4 game, which gives you two reasons to buy a PS4. Or in more negative counting methods, if that's your thing, all the reasons you'd have to buy a PS4 can be counted on two fingers.

>Is some time I didn't read about the Steambox, but the last time I read that the price was high in comparison of a common PC or a laptop.
The PC producer companies generally didn't get the memo that consoles are meant to cost less than €1,000. Alienware has a high-potential small PC starting at €530 for the Core i3 500GB model, which apparently has a special-tailored Nvidia APU made for the occasion, but every other scheduled Steam Machine are only really full PCs with fewer connection ports.

>Unless I've been missing some old explanations from Valve, Valve has themselves become what they've feared the most!

Yep. Ironically, the matter they deal to make an hardware for their OS make them a consolle producer. An unusual, but their is a consolle.
I wonder if is only becouse some other company expect a product that enter in this branch of the market, becouse don't appear to me a big deal.

>Uhh... if recent Windows developments hasn't reached your ears yet: the modern UEFI-BIOS motherboards makes it inconvenient, at best, to attempt to install a Linux OS, especially for dual-booting.

I haven't changed my hardware from long time, so I'm not exacly updated with the last stuff in the sector.

Usually, I used the internal boot menu of my machine to swap HD instead of the various OS loader, becouse its BIOS allow to choose the boot device before load them. That save me a lots of problem also when I changed the version of some of the OS: Windows pretends do...

Going back to synopsis and cutting things down to size is what I've been trying to do, actually. Thanks anyway, do need to tryand stick to it now. The other three or four projects just delay the whole thing, not to mention persistent procrastination problems.

Regarding how the school is run, I gathered that they do make decisions together, but what I wonder is: who takes responsibility? Suppose something happens to one of the kids, who's held accountable? Are there teachers assigned to groups of students for that sort of thing, maybe?

Actually... what would a Filly school counsellor look and act like?

... I think I just made another OC ^^

Since there are in the midst of the literature discussion being asked about Filly mysteries, and I've had a month to observe Filly material a bit further without actually being aware that I've been observing, I think I can now answer some of the questions.

>>496
>That does raise the question, though: how is the Academy run? Is there some sort of democracy there, or is Princess Sparkle the one who has to make all the decisions?
Of course, this is a hard one to answer so far. In the teacher room discussion in October 2013, most of the other teachers were arguing for the wildest of emergency procedures, while Sparkle was just sitting around. She's probably listening to the several arguments (which seem pretty lopsided), or she isn't the one to easily be carried away by invading monsters.

In April 2014, she was in a dark room with either Ashia or Luna when Bella called up their stationary mirror, so she does partake in school works with at least a degree of activeness. It could...

And that is what I wanted to see. The gameplay is very close to the 1st one, with the improvement that the first haven't, like the procedural maps and ambushes (impossible to do with the 1st Enemy Unknow).
XCom 2 will be my next (and probably, the only) buying when out.

(unedited first impressions: Ubisoft)

South Park continues to be one of the richest things in the media.
Ubisoft goes full verbal right from the start.

Ubisoft promises "new genre"? What is it?
This trailer goes on forever, and makes me want to replay Spellforce 1. I remember having good memories of that game, even though I couldn't handle its difficulty as a kid.
It's called For Honor, what is the genre?
"Art of battle"? Is it the genre?
I'm seeing generic over-the-shoulder game, what is the new genre?
This looks like Dynasty Warriors.
And now it looks like Dark Souls.
I fail to see this "new genre". Probably because you failed to show "new genre".
Hey, Ubi, it's called "Chivalry: Medieval Warfare". Google it.

>Holy holy holy, Trackmania!
There is a new TrackMania?! Wow, let's see if this trailer can fix things somewhat!

*watches trailer at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3piye62BYf4 *

It didn't fix things all that much. The first 1:06 of the video is a re-skin of the Nations environment as it was in TM United and TM Nations Forever. It's not even a joke, it's a re-skin of the same type you would expect in TM Nations Forever's online servers. No plus points there.

I have a bad feeling for the Pacific-ish setting. While the steeps, trees and surroundings invoke a TM Sunrise feel, the corners and camera angles shout "TM2 Canyon", which was an experience I would not try to play through twice, due to very tight drifting requirements and the ferocious difficulty that was behind building your own tracks and find it playable at the validation drive.

Also, "first time on consoles", as per Ubisoft's European YouTube trailer? I know that most people would like...

I have no idea how I'd live without two screens.

That's quite a lot of old-fashioned programs, images and open-source programs. I'll take a chance and guess that you like programs and old computer things?

>>447
That's a lot of G3 and Filly pictures, and yet I can't find any programs on your desktop screen. From what I can judge, your YouTube video making mandates having the files easily and visibly available?

>Your desktops are so tidy and spacey! And here I am, with an image of Cradle from Spiral Kinghts. Probably. Can't make it out under all the stuff.
Perhaps some more folders would have saved the day, or?

>I almost mistook Hauppauge Capture for a default Gamemaker game (since both of them use the red circle icon).
I don't even really use Hauppauge Capture all that much, since WinTV 7 works with the same units and functions much better for the cable TV / HDMI PC recording that I use it for.

All vital programs are either in the bar below, or are attached in the Start menu, so I'm not even sure I even need a desktop anymore. It's an eye candy, more or less.

Okay, JPG/JPEG problems may be fixed now. Possibly.

Many of their writing conventions scream "/mlp/!" at you, which made it a bit hard to read (Even though I don't care for Game of Thrones, I still managed to feel insulted by their claims about it). But the fact that "my little pony" is still shown as a popular search term with only a small decline makes me think that FiM is far from doomed yet *shudder*.

But when I take a look at my extremely enclosed parts of the internet, it seems that public opinion has begun to turn against bronies and that non-bronies consider bronies to have been a fad that has finished its run. Ponychan has dropped its posting rate monumentally, having to combine forces with MLPchan *grrr* due to a lack of money and then turning a combined ~30 boards into 10. I have Skundi's words on that /mlp/ has a dramatically lower post frequency than when he regulared the board up until a year ago.

And is exacly how the guys of Horse News love make you feel. ;) They are big trolls, but they also expose the most stupid and disgusting behind-the-scenes of the fandom that Equestria Daily will never dream to touch. If you really want see what going on behind some scandals, Horse News is the best headline. :)

Doubtless the fandom is filled with too much drama and childish folks which it became annoying even to for who stay in it.

But leaving apart this side, I can negate that my personal perception is that the fandom is entred in a stagnat...

I have to point out that their scientists are a bunch of self-proclaimed doofuses, because no big system operates like a straight line unless forced to. It's almost always a line that resembles the function of e^(-x^2), which would make the "death" (also known as "the moment the chart hits zero") of the fandom an event that takes place in the infinitely-distanced future.

>Can I suggest putting vetos on appealing to fanbases of AtlA, Wander over Yonder and Total Drama? From what I know of them, they are fans of their favourite cartoons for all the wrong reasons.
How? If the answer is "banning all discussion of that", then no, I don't think that's a good idea.

>I can get behind it too! But what about that secret porn board that you added when the site was created? If it's deserted (I don't really know, as I haven't looked there), should we go the long extra mile and remove that board from Fillychan?
It's already been emptied for a long time now, it was really a temporary measure when I thought the influx of visitors would be much larger than it became (the activity on /mlp/ really has dropped a lot, sadly), I emptied it out as soon as it became evident there was no lasting need for it.

>>431
>How? If the answer is "banning all discussion of that", then no, I don't think that's a good idea.
No, it's not that. But I assume that will have to reach out to our possible target groups in some or another way, be it with buying ads or by making contact notes on whichever forum-collection sites people use to find new forums (or other chatting places) to chat on. Basically, if we opt for buying ads on cartoon sites, we could simply not buy ads on sites that are specifically about those three cartoons. That was what I meant.

I'm also getting slightly tired that you always assume the worst of what my statements could possibly mean.

I'm sorry if you felt I accused you of something. Since this is a thread about rule suggestions, I wanted to ask if that meant you wanted some kind of rule to deliberately make this place unappealing for those people.

>But I assume that will have to reach out to our possible target groups in some or another way, be it with buying ads or by making contact notes on whichever forum-collection sites people use to find new forums (or other chatting places) to chat on.

I'll have to admit I haven't really considered doing any more "active" outreach.

>forum-collection sites
My experience of forum directories is that the number of people who actually use them is very very small nowadays.

>Rubber alicorns, was it? Or the mind control one?
Wanna hear something scary? That's the same story. Although I have also written some stories about little girls turning into balloons in a non-sexual setting. I think you mean the rubber alicorns one, which was also the mind control one. REgular novel first, though. I can't remember who asked if it was a pegasus or a griphon thing, but it's both. It's a pegasus MC living and coping in griphon culture. The beginning's edited okay-ish now, but the middle and ending need an overhaul.

>Being better than Brinquedo would officially elevate you to 'someone able to do proper animations', which is a higher tier than anyone else I know in person, be it IRL or internet.
Guess I spoke too soon, then. I haven't actually animated any of my models yet.

-Build something as colorful as Native Instruments Maschine, even if it wouldn't do anything
-Study low-level programming for more platforms from time of Spectrum and C64. Make sure to have compilers and music trackers for as much of them as possible
-Try again to draw a Microsoft Office assistant. Seems impossible, but maybe there'll be a way someday
-Think about a http filter that would allow to browse modern internet using Mosaic.

I do remember the title of one of your stories, Rainbow Dash Discovers Erotic Mind Control, so I'm surprised in a good way that it was also the one with the rubber alicorns.

>I can't remember who asked if it was a pegasus or a griphon thing, but it's both.
I think I was the one who asked. It's probably very late of me to be noting this just now, though.

I was thinking of adding Dr. Dimensionpants to the horse cartoon thread, but ultimately decided against it.

My views on the show does for the most part not really rely on the, uh, griffins and unicorns. The show has cartoony action, has a fast pace but not destroyingly fast as was the case with Uncle Grandpa, and on the few occasions where the Doctor can think clearly, he can act sensibly and doesn't try to punch everyone senseless *hark*Powerpuff Girls*sneeze*. But one thing does wreck some 3/4ths of the show's watchability: From the ~10 episodes I've watched, the cartoon feels to be trying to be educational and has massive punches of anvilicious-ness, even feeling more moral-preaching than several Disney Junior cartoons, let alone Randy Cunningham or Adventure Time.

The unicorn gives me some Robot Unicorn Attack vibes, although much more of a free-soul and often also self-centred personality. It does miraculously succeed in its apparent job to differ him from Equestrian unicorns,...

Yeah, Philip isn't exactly a character that I would use as example for a unicorn, mainly becouse is that kind of comical cartoonish character that don't grasp the point of use an anthropomorfic animal. Yeah, I very picky about that.

But I must say that I like he as character becouse represent all that silly/stupid humor that is part of unicorn stuff. Like the motto "I want be a unicorn to stab stupid people with my horn" or "Be yourself, but if you can be a unicorn, be a unicorn". :P

Ah, you're right, he actually represent all that stuff pretty well! Well spotted.

>Yeah, I can agree. The problem is that the demential stuff don't blend well with the parts that try to be more "serious" in the way this cartoon is written for me, making these part "off" with the context. There are other cartoons where they succeeded better.
Perhaps I'll simplify it a bit too much now, but it feels like the whole cartoon is an action high-speed attention-grab rush, but that they try to stuff morals repeatedly into it that messes with the whole experience. It's sort of like trying to stuff yet another newspaper into one's paper wastebin.
