^See, I thought Sonic Adventure 1 handled Knuckles's gameplay style far better then the 2nd one did, and I don't get why people don't like the shooting gameplay in in both games, as I thought it was fun. Amy was mediocre though, and Big........ The less I say about him, the better.

Also, sorry for being a complete twat about the whole Vinyl thing. I do want to point out that reading up new stories about her and Octavia was something I loved doing when I was in a pony mood but not for one of the mane 6, or if the show was being lackluster for me {During a good chunk of the time season 5's first half had been airing, I read up on stuff like University Days and Allegrezza and had so much more fun with those then with most of season 5}, and I hate not being able to do that anymore ever since the show and then fandom threw out those interpretations. But it doesn't excuse me being an asshole. The show writers arn't allowed to look at fan stuff for some reason anyway, so even if she did talk she'd still likely be completly different then in fanon {To be honest I'm surprised they accuratly nailed a fair amount of Derpy's fanon stuff without issue}. So now I'm just trying to ignore all of that like it never happend {Aside from JT's upcoming fic, which I look forward to}. It's probably the best course of action. Otherwise I'll just get all pissy again. The fact that it took me 5 months to fully realize all of that means that I'm probably the biggest fucking idiot on the thread.

Don't get me wrong though: I still loathe the Mute Vinyl interpretation and it's overthrowing (For lack of a better word) of the entertaining fanon one. But I'm trying to be a lot more reasonable about it then I have been.

I can't get into any of the Adventure titles honestly, they feel and play so clunky and the atmosphere and aesthetic in them feels kinda weird to me. But then I went from the Genesis games to Colors and beyond and prettymuch missed that inbetween until years later.

I do feel like Adventure 1, along with Unleashed which I feel did better, came closer than others to translating and/or building on the general feel of the visual events and storytelling you got a glimpse of in Sonic 3 & Knuckles though - albeit maybe removing some things and adding others. I'm not huge on the writing in the 3D games past or post Unleashed admittedly.

You sure you wouldn't benefit from some professional help? Because that's a lot of bitterness that goes deeper than fanon portrayals.

This is for the CMC.

Congratulations.

Hey there guys. How are y'all doin' now?

Feeling bleh. Having a day off from volunteering due to illness. Really hope it clears before the weekend (got 2 pony ccg tournaments on the Saturday (Harmony and Block))

Well in my case I am checking TV Tropes in the middle of the night because I woke up and can't sleep.

Feeling kind of okay. Better then I was yesterday.

Told my mom about feeling depressed. She said she was gonna call my therapist today. Though I don't know when my next appointment will be.

I lost an earring in the middle of the night while I was asleep but I found it again. Hooray!

Good luck with the therapist, Scott! Hopefully you'll get an accurate diagnosis.

I don't know when I'll have her since my mom tried calling her twice before and she didn't responsed.

I also set an appointment with the school counsler.

I don't know how much of they'll be. I still think it's just me being a whiny, attention wanting cunt.

(hugs Scott) Try not to blame yourself so much. You have every right to feel the way you do.

We all have a complex behavior of thought patterns and feelings that dictate how we feel, it's just a matter of unraveling some of those knots.

I know it feels like you deserve to be blamed because it feels pretty terrible in your shoes, I've been there. Even if you don't want to believe it, even if it might not seem true, I'll still say that most of us are quick to hate ourselves and don't give our efforts the credit they deserve.

For what it's worth, depression ultimately makes the people that go through it better as a result. I think you can do it.

I got an interview at a paintball place that I'll be going to this evening :)

Pring a paint ball gun and shoot the interviewer to show you have initiative.

Congrats!

Good luck at that interview!

Post of the Day #1247

I'm not sure if I follow with that logic :/

Besides, where's the fun in not impersonating a character or things similar to that anyway?

The thread would be a lot more boring without Thunderlane or Sunset appearing every now and again or all the people/ponies who think they are now a colourful cartoon horse (or actually are one).

i keep missing Sunset.

But your aim is getting better?

That's such a Grunkle joke.

@Dark Thanks for trying to help me out.

It really is easier for me just to berate myself. I can't bring myself to do self harm or commit to killing my self because I don't want to hurt others. I know doing either would probably hurt them in many ways. That's why I choose to insult myself. It's a little less painful and it only hurts me. Its a good option compared to others. At least I think it is.

@Mud Honestly, I could do without the pony/human rpers.

We used to have a lot more. Lightning Dust was pretty active for a while, AJ popped in once in a while, and Pinkie a little more often. Tealove would show up just to start absently dreaming out loud about Big Mac, at which point Fleetfoot would usually show up and start a fight, and Celestia help us if Big Mac actually showed up at the same time.

In non-pony news, our hours of operation at work are going down due to the seasonal change, which means that my hours have actually gone up, since we let the other cook go, and I've absorbed on of his days. So don't worry if you don't hear from me for upwards of a week straight; I'm just tired.

I'm gonna go to sleep soon. G'night everypony.

Hi everypony! Billy Mays here!

Hey marcen...
