False right now, but I was earlier XD

The pony below me finds the picture in Sapphire Hedgie's signature to be awesome. Because it's just so perfect.

So does anypony actually want to talk about rocks? Because I kinda want to talk about rocks  :D




One of the classes I've been taking this year is all about landscapes and geological processes and that kind of thing. And yes, it covered rocks. Do you have any idea how many lectures I've had to sit through about rocks? It's a lot. Rocks, rocks, rocks.

Anyway, our class covered 3 kinds of rocks:
Igneous rocks
Sedimentary rocks
And metamorphic rocks


Igneous rocks-
Igneous rocks are formed when magma or lava cools down and solidifies. An intrusive igneous rock is what forms when magma cools slowly below the surface of the Earth. Examples include things like diorite and granite. Extrusive igneous rocks form when lava cools quickly above the Earth's surface. Examples would be stuff like basalt and obsidian.

Sedimentary rocks-
Sedimentary rocks are formed when layers of sediment...become a rock? I know, I'm bad at explaining. Sorry ^^;  Okay, so over time, other rocks get broken up into sand and stones and mud and stuff like that. That stuff forms layers on the surface of the Earth. Over time, more layers come and form over the top of the old layers. Eventually, the layers form a rock. Examples would be things like sandstone, or limestone.

Metamorphic rocks-
Metamorphic rocks form when pre-existing rocks are changed by high temperatures and pressure. Basically, the heat and pressure eventually alters the rock so much that it becomes a new rock. Examples include things like marble and slate.


If I had to choose a favourite rock, I would probably go with either diorite, or obsidian. I like the black and white pattern diorite has. And I like the sort of glassy look obsidian gets.




So, does anypony have anything about rocks that they'd like to say? Do you have a favourite rock? Maybe a pet rock? Do you like to throw rocks at stuff? Or do you just like to rock and roll? I'd love to hear about it  ^-^

Quote from: McClaw on 2017 Oct 01, 11:58:54"EST" is the standard abbreviation for "Eastern Standard Time", which is five hours behind "Coordinated Universal Time". Although much of the Eastern time zone is actually now on Daylight Savings Time...


Okay, that makes sense. Thank you ^_^  So should I go by the Daylight Savings time, or the normal time? According to the time zone converter, it would either be 8am or 9am on sunday morning for me. I don't want to have to wake up an hour earlier if I don't have to  :P

Hi :) You should be able to download the game by clicking the "downloads" button on the LoE homepage.


It should take you to the right page. Then you just have to download the right one. I went with the "launcher" one, since I use Windows. If you need to know anything, I'll do my best to help. But I'm still fairly new around here myself, so I don't know how much I can help with ^^;
65
This sound like fun  ^-^
Quick question, though: What time zone is EST? I need to use an online converter to figure out what time it would be for me. I just need to know what EST is, so I can convert the time ^^;
66
True. So true  ^-^

The pony below me is secretly a ninja.

Hi! I'm Silverbeat. It's nice to meet you. I like drawing, too. I'm just not that good at it  X3
Anyway, I hope to see you around :)

Hi! I'm Silverbeat. Good to meet you. And if you make music, then you definitely sound like my kind of pony  ^-^
I had a look at the first one (I'm too tired right now to watch both; it's 5am in my time zone and I really need sleep XD ), and it was really good! Hope to see you around :)

Hi! I'm Silverbeat. Nice to meet you :)
Hope to see you around.

Hi! Yeah, it is pretty awesome. I kinda wish I'd heard about it sooner  ^-^
It's good to meet you :)
71
Hi! I'm Silverbeat. It's nice to meet you :) So you're a roleplayer? I've never done any roleplaying before, but it sounds pretty cool. Anyway, hope to see you around sometime  ^-^

Quote from: Golden Sky! on 2017 Sep 29, 12:41:08Hiya! For the headphones, once you've completed the Graduation event, you can talk to Hullabaloo in Cantermore (east-ish side) to begin a lengthy fetch quest about stolen cookies. You'll need to travel between Cantermore and Cloudopolis several times to keep talking to ponies, but once you solve the mystery, you get rewarded with headphones. (And if you're dancing while wearing them, they produce music notes!)


Oh, sweet! Thank you. And the music notes sound so awesome :D Might go to graduate just for that now.

Hi! It's nice to meet you. I'm Silverbeat. Your pony looks really cool, by the way. I'm loving those goggles  ^-^

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the headphones? I've been looking for a pair for myself, but don't know where to find them ^^;
74
Sorry, false (and Doctor Strange is awesome  ^-^ )

The pony below me likes peanut butter. Or any kind of nut butter, really
75
Happens to me, too. I thought I was imagining things at first, or clicking by accident, but it happens even when I'm being so careful not to skip ahead. I'm sure it'll get fixed though :)
76
Most days. Through probably not as much as I should ^^;

The pony below me is a Marvel fan.

Hi! It's nice to meet you. I'm Silverbeat (and my bunny is Fluffles ^-^ ).
Sounds like your OC is pretty interesting. Mine is more of a self-avatar, what I'd want to be if I were a pony. She's just a random, music-loving unicorn from Ponyville ^^;

Anyway, I hope to see you around. And good luck with finding an eyepatch and cape! I'm hoping I can get Silverbeat some headphones or something.

It's nice to meet all of you! ^_^
And as for how to install it, I'm not actually very good with this kind of thing. But there should be a "Downloads" button on the homepage that should take you to the right page.



And then it should just be a case of downloading the right one. I went with the "Launcher" one, because I use Windows. But I'm not quite sure what to do if you don't have Windows. Sorry about that.



I hope I was able to help a bit, but I'm really no good with this stuff ^^;

Hello, everypony!

I've only just joined up today, so I wanted to just quickly introduce myself. I'm Silverbeat. Or just Silver, if it's easier. I haven't really played the game too much yet, since I've only just started. I'm still trying to work out how to do stuff. So if any of you saw a little blue filly earlier, running around like her mane was on fire...that was probably me trying to work out the controls ^^;

Anyway, this is the first time I've ever joined any pony-related forums, so I'm looking forward to meeting all of you!
