    There was once a space, between the place of your birth and the place where you were, measured in moments of latitude and the relative movement of a distant and uncaring sun.

    She still believed in the sun. The same way she still believed in gravity. It was something that was there and couldn't be escaped, but it wouldn't catch her now that she'd started to fall.

    The Skyking Flies Still

    "I wasn't really planning on landing." -- The Skyking

    People disappear from the internet. Blogs are abandoned, forums fade and last posts are made. You might wonder what happened to them, but you'll never know.

    Everything is True; Nothing is Permitted

    Krakatoa just went kraka-boom and that great lady might be setting a trend among her sisters.

    I hope the first time you heard about this was from a My Little Pony fanfiction website, so you can enjoy the freely-floaty feeling.

    Unfortunate paralells to the Nazarene

    Not as dead as I had advertised.
    Not as undead as one would suspect. Utter distate for the brains of others I have met. Most of them anyway.
    Raising a toast, but it isn't really mine and the toast is actually grape juice.

Merry Eastermas Everybody! · 10:57pm Dec 25th, 2012

Today is the day for avoiding conversation with our loved ones by giving them a bunch of video games and other consumerist crap so that they'll shut up and leave you alone while you raid the liquor cabinet. A day for disappointment and washing new socks. A day for getting drunk at the only dive bar in town that is still open tonight and telling people you're Jewish.

And sense I love you all SOOOO MUCH! I created a gift:

An talking horse personality test
Take it to discover what sort of people group you should inhabit. You might be surprised (or you might not be).

Like most terrible things in life, this was Sunshine-Smiles' fault:

knighty does seemed determined to head in the facebook direction. Maybe we'll at least get games out of it, like farmville with Applejack and personality quizzes

This is why we keep our mouths shut, mister Sunshine.

And since everyone else is posting image blogs today, I guess I'll do that too.

Maybe I just don't understand this holiday?

That was awesome.

Fiddles OH YOU :rainbowlaugh:

I'm the Michael Haneke of fanfiction and online quizzes. I transgress the boundaries of my genres, and also no one likes me or knows who I am.

648966
Somehow, you responded to a comment that was on a completely different blog. Good job?

zel

Eh, I am still waiting for top comments.

Also, reddit's karma - soon on fimfiction!

649012 You never fail to disappoint.

You'd be a good psychologist

Obviously Scootaloo is best CMC. Though purple is better than pink. Just slightly.

Important Question:
Did you try and retake it for a different result?
Like most works of genius, my quiz requires multiple readings to grasp the full meaning.

649129
I am the geniusest.
I am a little busy being an existentialist, writer, quiz-boy, horsefucker, and some other things to become a psychologist, though.
Very busy, busy bee who never accomplishes anything.

649733
I'm glad you see the light on Scoota-fucking-loo.
You are wrong about colors though.
Princess Cadence is best pony because she is pink and a princess, which are the two best things.
Allow me to quote myself:

I have the aesthetic sensibilities of a 6 yr old girl. Well, that plus, you know, sex and violence and heretical imagery. But I do love pink.

After playing that for a bit, it is kind of strange.
Not in the way they want it to be strange.
For one thing, the expanding walls mean that you can erase mistakes that would have been otherwise suicidal. The raising ceiling gives you options that regular Tetris doesn't entertain. The whole way they changed it opens up a wealth of new strategies.

And, as far as the points? Part of why I quit playing video games about a decade ago is I realized that a little number on the screen is utterly meaningless. If you're worried about points I have a program for you. It is in BASIC:

print "hello"
print "would you like to play?"
print "Press 1 for yes"
Input "Press any other key for also yes"; $dummy
print "congratulations!"
numVar$ = 10
[hell]
print "Score: "; numVar
numVar = (numVar + 10)
print "Congratulations!"
goto [hell]

650222 >BASIC
OhGodWhy.zel
Does anyone actually use that language nowadays?


Also, everything was set up for that "goto [hell]", admit it.

When I was in High School, the graphing calculators they gave us could be programmed in BASIC. Since I never paid attention in math class anyway, I made a robot fighting game. You bought missiles and lasers, or whatever, stuck them on your little guy and then got wiped out in a fight because I'd fucked up one of godfuck thousands of lines causing the enemy to have infinite health.
Oops.
It took almost the entire semester to get all the kinks worked out, and then it was time to turn the calculator back in over Summer break and all my hard work was probably wiped.
Thus began and ended my interest in coding.

It is more I named it Hell because it is an infinite loop from which there is no escape.
But you keep getting those points!
If I added a picture of a green guy or a dude in armor to the screen I could call it Land of Orkkraft and become a millionaire selling it to idiots.

Also, this thing now has more views than I have watchers.
Where the Hell are you people coming from? I am surrounded by spies.

zel

650797 Fuck, I need to get one of these calcs. I remember video of one guy writing some implementation of Skyrim on it.

Thus began and ended my interest in coding.

There are more modern languages that have different and far easier to read/analise syntax, you should take up something. Maybe python or pascal.


Also, funny thing I noticed about humans: Either you are able to learn, and are able to master programming to some degree if you do not decide to stop giving a shit, or no matter how much time you spend learning, you will never progress.

I guess this has something to do with creativity.

You don't even get points on this version, it just stays at zero forever because you never actually get any lines.

650896
Witchcraft.

But points are meaningless. It is just an arbitrary number on the screen. (The aspect ratio serves the same purpose)
That is why I made my "game.". All you have to do is turn it on and whee, watch those points go up.
Futiltris held about the same enjoyment value for me as regular Tetris. A little more, since it was a novel experience.

The funny part is that trying to lose gets you the same result as trying to win, but it gets you there faster.

Just like real life?
