A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

Yeah, I've already been laughing hard quite a bit.
Apparently a wild Swinub traced Truant earlier, but I missed that.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlaySpeaking of refurbished, I just got a secondhand Toshiba notebook, and replaced the sloooooow old Hitachi 5400rpm hard drive with a lightning-fast Sandisk Extreme 1 solid state disk, also I gave it a nice shiny new Win 8.1 install instead of sticking to its old crappy Vista Home Basic license. It now runs fast enough to be my backup rig.
The three finest things in life are to splat your enemies, drive them from their turf, and hear their lamentations as their rank falls!Dammit ace, I already want a new computer, stop making this more difficult for me.
http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/TPP just reminded me of MLP.
Of all the possible abilities in the game, getting Truant was The! Worst! Possible! Thing!
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayStrikes me the randomized hack makes it a World of Chaos, considering birds can punch, spiders that can use scream, etc and abilities are all over the place. Could make the game really nuts pretty soon.
You guys hear about that heartbleed thing?
Apparently the NSA has known about it and been using it to spy on people.
As if their other spying methods weren't enough.
I really, really hate those guys.
http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/Yep.
When I first got into cybersecurity, I never thought the NSA would be an adversary rather than an ally.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayThe only good thing about how easy it is to dig up information online is everyone knows they're fucking terrible. The information access goes both ways.

http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/It's kind of odd that people seem to have only just realized what the NSA have been up to. I mean, I thought it was kind of common knowledge, but. :/
Did people just assume that anyone who mentioned the government was doing this stuff was automatically a crazy conspiracy theorist, or were they completely oblivious, or what?
I've only been aware of it for a few months now, when articles about it began popping up on Gizmodo. It's just slowly becoming more and more common knowledge, I think.
I mean, some of this stuff is obvious. Other stuff- like installing backdoor access into phones and computers, halting deliveries of electronics in order to install trackers in them, spying on people's webcams WHEN THE WEBCAM ISN'T EXPLICITLY TURNED ON, and same goes for microphones... yeah, that wasn't exactly obvious.

http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/Can you point to anyone major who said this pre-Snowden?
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayYou know, when I first got my laptop I actually kept the webcam covered up with tape because I was paranoid and thought someone might spy on me with it. Years later I learned I was right, and now I wish I could write the words "fuck you" small enough to make them legible on a dot less than an inch wide.
http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/I was eight years old on 9/11. And I'm assuming most adults eventually decided it was okay because "anti-terrorism."
I should probably go to sleep, I have to move furniture before work tomorrow.

http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/I remember that too, but this goes far, far beyond the Patriot Act. The NSA is worse than almost anyone imagined. There's several threads in OTC if you want to talk about it there.
P.S. It's funny how many two-turn moves are showing up in TPP FR. In Route 2 alone, there's Surskrit with Hyper Beam, Slugma with Blast Burn, Marill with Hydro Cannon, and Skitty with Skull Bash. Also, the starter has Truant.

Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayRead up a bit here, a lot more people were aware of the implications than you think.
It's a perfectly logical result IMO.
But yeah, not really the best place.
Post of the Day #709
She loves to say I came crawling back defeated after that house share collapsed. All that happened was that the lease ended and me and my friends all went back to our respective homes again. I was invited back here (of course, dad was still here). He wanted me to come with him to his sisters when he left but I couldn't do that. No room there and I just spent a fortune fixing my own old room back up.

It's also gonna be hilarious.
