I had a fourth one about Cedric but I can't find it on my phone or my laptop. Time to rewrite it, I suppose.

Sha-bam!

Yo, Skundi, since this as good a time as any to say this, is it possible to make the greentext pink instead? It'd be pretty cool. If it's completely out of the question, can we give colours to < and ^ lines, as was once done on Ponychan?

There's a lot of characterism details in your post that I had completely forgot about, but that I now remember as clear as daylight again. Like if the characters in Kingdom Hearts on a random rainy day suddenly began to feel again.

>And you forgot Celestia and Bananas. That is the most randomic think ever did to a character from the fandom. ;)
That was in perhaps January 2011 or so. Now everyone (except the nostalgics, of which I may or may not be one) hope to one day forget about it in the same way they've tried to forget John Madden and Dover Boys.

>Pinkamena of Cupcakes is one of the most stupid thing of the fandom, but the jokes about the darker double personality of Pinkie Pie are some I find most funny. :p
There were some good Ask Tumblrs back in the days involving Pinkamena, and I saw several happy-pony-era Ponychanners use them as avatars to their posts.

>Pinkamena of Cupcakes is one of the most stupid thing of the fandom
This statement is true for all the wrong reasons: Cupcakes didn't have Pinkamena in it, it had the ordinary Pinkie Pie, hair style and all that. Speaking as a guy who adores the fanfic.

>I guess that her metaphysical situation is hard to grasp...
>I know that Zejgar has walked over dead bodies to point out that Luna in fact was in the moon, but I was unsure about how strict the canon was on that, so I couldn't rule out the last 1/20th of her being on the moon. Now I remember that it was pretty strict on that, in fact (PTS should have been enough proof).
Once upon a time there was a Q&A session with Lauren, which had the following Q/A:
>Q: Where was Celestia when NMM appeared? Don't answer if you never thought of it beforehand. Don't wanna destroy anybody's theories.
>A: In my mind, they were still young and still lived in the same castle together--- perhaps with their...

S1E01's book said "banished her permanently in the moon".

>There a couple of thing of fan stuff that I find good as concept, but the fandom in general haven't the skill to develop then in a interesting manner.
There are some serious fan fiction stories that seem to describe individual main and background ponies so well that they can be considered better definition of them than the series. but all of them are alternate settings and won't be discussed much in the open anyway. Like planets orbiting the canon that incoming spaceships won't always see because they don't shine on tv.

>Pinkamena of Cupcakes is one of the most stupid thing of the fandom, but the jokes about the darker double personality of Pinkie Pie are some I find most funny. :p
Just as much as out of control versions of Twilight, Trixie and others, which are not even OOC because they do go out of control in the series. Sort of exaggeration of exaggeration, which wouldn't have happened if canon...

>"how many points do I have left, guys? - Three - No, four - Three, you cheater!"
Rate of that happening seems to depend on probability of a player losing. Some games I know have a mode where no one can lose (just collect), just for that.

>>440
>Conversely, to lessen the Mermaids' super-importance slightly, I half-heartedly suggest making the Elves able to search on water hexagons that are two hexagons away.
Mermaids seem to be drastically different from others, so, maybe they could be in water pool in the center, the rest coming from kingdoms around it? Like in one game, one can find resources only in others' kingdoms, so that no one can mine their own territory?
As there are seven types total, they could be assigned territory in a big hexagon based on symmetry and their ability to fly. That way, each terrotory have practical border only with two or three others.

The game seems interesting, but I find some concepts slow to use in a board game. I think Flood/Drough and Action Points are two things difficult to track in play, you can make tokens/plates to put on the board, but these are very much and I think could be impratical. Action Points can be tracked with pen & paper, but could lead anyway to some difficult to track how many points are spended.
This form could be works in the videogame version, becouse the machine could very easily handle all the counts and change the map. I know some electronic conversions of some old tabletop games that works very well in the computer version (I put something in the video).

What about, instead of a net amout of action points, give 1 to 3 moves to the player, and in this moves he can do one of the allowed actions? In the same turn, a player can move of 3 spaces, or move 2 hex and search 1, or 1 hex, search 1, and use 1 spell/ability, and go on. I think that 1 or 2 moves are right, while...

Flood/Drough are supposed to be tracked by players themselves with the help of the Flood/Drough card, which remains on the table for everybody to see while it is in the effect.

>Action Points can be tracked with pen & paper, but could lead anyway to some difficult to track how many points are spended.
This is my main issue too, Action Points require too much memory from the players. I left it in because I couldn't find a way to fix it, and thought that it would still be reasonable.

Looks like it might be a cookie-related problem, possibly. I'm writing this down on my todo list. (As a general rule, it's always a good idea to make a safety copy of long posts on every site before posting in case the server derps.)

Ironically, I encountered the exact same problem while writing my reply because of the time I spent investigating the problem before finishing up the post.

>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...

>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).
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...

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?

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?

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.
