I'm not talking physically, I mean mentally. General mood, personality, opinions, and so on.

Personally, I find myself having taken some weird turn. I have an outright absurd obsession with equality. At the same time, I hold everyone so low in opinion it's kind of scary. I've gone from a people lover to a hater of humanity, yet I still hope for the best of what we can do. I'm not exactly a pessimist, but I'm not the inane optimist I used to be. I'm more aggressive, wrathful. Grudges are constantly in my head, they ruin my ability to focus and sleep. Rather than being full of joy when nobody is around, during that time I'm usually feeling like some blank, unfeeling person. The moment somebody comes near, I spring to 'life' with joy and silliness, but once they leave it's back to just hate and sadness.
However, it's not all bad. I've become more serious, and thus can understand reality better. I have more real goals. I can value the times when I'm happy much more. I wouldn't say I improved, far from it. But when I do hold someone, do spend time with friends, it's no longer just more fun. It's actually a moment I care about. To show emotion is no longer something I always do, I'm not the firehydrant when crying anymore. I'm not over reacting to everything. I can cherish the times of love, joy, sadness. I can accept that people are evil now, and love when they do good. Rather than thinking of just the here and now, my insatiable desire for entertainment, I can actually look ahead and behind.

How about you? How do you feel you've changed over your life?

When you learn something you find odd, post it here.

I just learned that awhile exists, and it's different from a while.
They can be uses almost interchangeably, but a while needs a preposition before it, while awhile does not.

Yeah, she doesn't have a name and she needs one. Nothing generic or too referencing, and that means nothing involving Rapunzel. Ever. And because I have no idea what the colors would be called, I'm giving hex codes. And all measurements are in what would be relative to ponies.

Name: TBD
Age: 19 pony years
Gender: Female, obviously.
Race: Pegasus
Coat color: A pretty, nice shade of lime and pink smooshed together. Hex code DFE56E
Mane/tail color: Even stripes of a purplish color and black. Hex codes A75A94 and 000000
Eye color: A very dark color, somewhat like black, but it isn't. Hex code 211137
Cutiemark: A pink and black hairbrush and a mirror
Home: Some small town between Canterlot and Manehattan. So no, she does not live in Ponyville.


Thanks for the pic Cutiebone! Still a name in progress though.


She's a pretty normal, if a little vain, pony for the most part, a hairdresser with a rather large house to her name. The main things about her (c wut I did thar?) are her mane and tail. They're extremely long. Not five feet, not ten feet. Over fifty feet each. She spent such an extremely long amount of time as a foal caring for her body that she mastered the art and found it as her talent. After that, she began to try and find out how to make manes even longer, harder to get dirty, and smoother, using herself as a test subject. She actually did manage to figure out a decent way to do so, though it takes a long while to work and requires frequent care.
She's tall. Obviously not Celestia tall, but still tall enough to need to look down a bit to to look into somepony's eyes. Along with this tallness, she is very thin, though most don't realize this due to her thick coat.
Her coat is very thick and soft, you could easily lose yourself in it. It's about four, five inches thick actually, and about seven inches thick around the base of her neck to between her front legs.
Surprisingly, it's not dirty in the slightest.
Now on to the big parts, her mane and tail. Each is over a whopping fifty feet long, and are scary clean and silky smooth. When she walks (she never runs. Ever.) they drag on the ground, and when she flies (gently, of course) they give her a neat little trail of her own.

Her daily schedule is usually the following.
5:00-5:09 AM: Wake up
5:10-5:20 AM: Have breakfast
5:21-6:20 AM: Carefully bathe and groom self
6:21-11:00 AM: Work salon
11:01 AM to 12:10 PM: Have lunch
12:01-12:30 PM: More careful grooming
12:31-4:00 PM: More salon work
4:01-8:00 PM: Whatever really. Shopping, chatting, walking, etc.
8:01-8:20 PM: Dinner. What else?
8:21-9:20 PM: Bathing again and more grooming, and if it's that time of the week adding a little special formula to make it just a little longer and better.
The rest is all sleep.

She was born in Las Pegasus, and did live there for about a decade. Of course, she had to move away due to reporters always being in her face, trying to get her to spill all her secrets on how she was managing to be so fluffy and clean. Fortunately, her family was already planning on leaving for other reasons, though they were planning on going all the way to Manehattan, where she lived for another uneventful six years. By then, she was old enough to go live on her own, so she just went out flying until she came upon a nice little field at roughly the same time as some others who had come to set up home there. The town slowly started growing, and she set up a salon using her expertise. Now there's the occasional out of town customer, just enough of them to keep the place going.

Personality wise, she's sweet and gentle, though she kinda needs to be so she doesn't damage her looks. Normally she's fine with incessant poking and all sorts of stuff like that, but damaging her appearance is the fastest way to make her smash your face with a shampoo bottle. So yes, she is full of her looks, though the worst you'll get if you insult them is an angry glare. Also, she loves snuggling with others, preferring to be the one snuggled against. She doesn't really understand personal space, actually. She'll brush against you, give random hugs, glomp, all sorts of stuff even if she's just met you, leading to quite a lot of irritation for those who don't know her.
She tends to put herself in front of others, despite how caring she is. She won't put her voice above normal talking unless she gets really angry, which only ever happens when someone damages her looks. So yes, she is vain. Extremely. However, she also wants others to look their best.
She's actually fine with others walking on and through her hair, as that doesn't do any harm and it does often get in the way otherwise. She often lets others use it as a blanket, actually.

She does not have a husband or children, instead opting to live alone for now. Inside, there's all the coat, mane, and tail care products you'll ever imagine. The rooms are also very large.

If you were to ask her what the worst thing about having a lot of fur is, she would likely say that everypony who's cold just keeps on following her even when she wants to be alone.


So yeah, she needs a name, and is most likely not yet complete in various other ways.

I'm on this really horrid laptop, and I was playing on the largest map possible, highest quality, max AI on normal.
Two hours.
Everywhere was cramped but me.
I decided to nuke it all. About 25 in total, actually. Half that at once.
The game didn't even end, the program just closed with no error or report or anything.

There's something I don't get about it.
Why aren't Changelings a part of society in the same way as ponies?
Currently they use cunning and lies to get love for food, and if they're caught we can only assume. This puts unneeded drain on both groups, Changelings spending time and energy (maybe even manpower) to get food with high risk, and ponies spending the same trying to root them out and find those who were replaced.
It would be far better for both sides than the current set up. Changelings could get the love needed without risk, and they could add to the workforce of Equestria without adding a lot to the resource demand.
They probably wouldn't even need disguises.
The only downside I can think of would be if Equestria went Democratic style, for obvious reasons.

Discuss how the show would have played out instead if the script hadn't changed.


I think it would've been, well, awkward.
Giant dragon from Dragonshy? Really big pony. REALLY. BIG. PONY.
Celestia? She's only 1% of her full size!

This is Shorn. Say hi Shorn! Er, wait... He no speak.

Oh, and those wings are not the right color, why are they green? Did you paint yourself again? They're supposed to be purple. PURPLE!

   So, here's a child friendly summary. He was found KO'd (like a bawss) in the Everfree by Fluttershy, and cared for while still KO'd (like a bawss) for a bit less than three days. He woke up, Fluttershy got Twilight, Twilight got mad and he found out he was a Ponagon. Think uber evulz species that does horrible evil acts fur teh lulz.
Think half pony half dragon, but not.
So then all sorts of stuff happened, he ended up living with Twilight (for the safety and because LOLZ), he was arrested countless times for eating ponies and causing trouble (no pony was digested, don't worry!) and he just keeps on nomming everything he can.
Oh, and he's two weeks old and smaller than Applebloom.

   Inside his head there are like five or six voices, but usually only two actually do anything. There's the evil voice (male), who constantly tells him to do evil things and makes horrible jokes. Then the good voice (female), who tries to make Shorn do good stuff and goes on and on about how great it is to be good. Celestia, Luna, and Discord are self explanatory. And this other evil being enters his dreams sometimes and tries to make him do other evil things.

   He loves (read: addicted to) eating, nomming, and being full. He's kinda like a snake when it comes to what can fit down, but far more capable. A fully grown pony (Trixie, lol) has been found having been eaten as "punishment" or something like that. She was rescued shortly after and Shorn was grounded for a week.
What? She was mostly unharmed!

   Of course he has some weird thing most every other OC I've seen has, so his is needing to eat meat one every three days or the evil voice takes over until he does eat some meat. This really does make things a bit harder, but they manage!

   And don't try locking him behind bars, his teeth can rip through six inches of solid steel... if he can get the strength to. It's only his teeth that can, he's not strong enough to actually do that. Yet. When he's older he'll be able to do that.
He'll also be bigger than Celestia. By a lot. Nowhere near as strong though.

   So that's Shorn for 'ya!
   :D

He was Link, I was Lucario, and we were fooling around in 2v2, us on the same team. We got bored with the random character level 3's, so I decided to jokingly make both enemies Ike (so OP to both of us) and set the difficulty to the max on both, and my friend selected Final Destination.
After a nice five minute match and a lot of frantic action, the scoreboard popped up.
1st: Lucario: 3
2nd: Link: 0
3rd: Ike: 0
4th: Ike: -3
Completely unexpected, he hasn't fought at the top difficulties before and I'm a total noob at the game.

You guys ever do stuff like this?

I'm not asking what size you think they are, I'm asking what size you would prefer them to be if they were real. It's been found by a lot of people that using real world measurements for apples that normal ponies are about 3-4 feet tall, but we don't know if their apples are say... twenty times the size of Earth, or the size of a walnut.
So without further ado, let the topic begin.

I'd prefer to be about eye level with them, maybe/probably small than that though. Not really sure why for the smaller, porpbably because it'd be easier to keep me all safe like, but for the first one it would put less strain on my eyes, not needing to look up and down as much.

Self explanatory title is self explanatory

My computer does have the brightness changing option, but then when I go over to another web page it's almost always too dark, needing me to bring the brightness up again. It's more of a minor inconvenience, but it's a painful one. Literally painful, actually.
EDIT: I mean as an option, not as standard, since some obviously will prefer the current one

I looked about and didn't find a thread for this, so... What's the above pony's theme, based on what you've seen of them and their avatar and stuffz.

No pony?

It's an awesome game known a a "Bullet Hell" which is a genre known for filling your screen with bullets from enemies.
http://www.kongregate.com/games/polymerrabbit/frantic-2?acomplete=frant

I scored 67,217,200 points on Frantic Difficulty, beating the entire last chapter too. I wanna know how it turns out for you guys. Let us know the difficulty you were on, your chapter, and how many points you got.
Let us call it friendly competition or something like that.
Have fun!

Do try and give the game it's from, please, and try for what you probably would be, not what you'd like to be.
And no TF2 or MNC classes, 'cause those aren't RPGs.
I'd probably be some mix of Stealth and Magic of both Divine and Arcane types, mostly helping my friends out rather than harm the enemy.

I'm not saying best, or most memorable, or best made, I'm saying most awesome.
I'ma gonna say Shadow the Hedgehog. Just look it up, most awesome sonic game ever.

For me, it was Darkrai in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time.
I was Cindaquill, my buddy was Totadile.
Opening moves of the fight had Darkrai set on fire, or as the game calls it, burn.
Pretty fast all his minions were down and not a single guy, not even him, had any PP left.
My buds and I had like 5 HP.
For a whole half hour or so we just ran in circles, letting Darkrai take some 5 damage per five turns.
Somehow, we managed to win.
I burst out laughing every time I remember that.

Love the show, will you?
21
It's a hard choice for me.
There's the Spider Mech in Mech Assault 2, Count Waltz in Eternal Sonata, any of the dragons in Skyrim (they are wandering bosses), one of the many Blue Dragon bosses, etc.
