So, how has everyone's apocalypse been?

[Valikdu]

[RATED D FOR DWARF]
I've made a megabeast / night creature hybrid called a Mare of Pain.
They abduct ponies, torture them until they're... something else, and sometimes reproduce with them to create more Mares of Pain.



Yes, I incorporated Lil' Miss Rarity into Dwarf Fortress. Problem?
There's also a second converter caste of the same creature, which is pink and has huge grafted blades.

It looks something like this:

I feel like I'm a mad scientist.

Welcome to the club. We have plushies.

You know the rules, and so do I, but I'm gonna desert you so I'll repeat them for our new watchers :

Find a scene or an overall theme in Fallout Equestria, Fallout Equestria : Project Horizon, or any Fallout Equestria side story, which you think the following song could fit as a soundtrack for, a theme to or a representation of.

Aaaand, here it come :

I just finished reading chapter 19 of FoE: Starlight. I aint gonna lie, writing ability like that makes me jealous. It is a really good story.
Started the damn chapter at 9 AM...

Took me a minute to realize that "thumbdrive" means "flashdrive".
Shows what I know. x)

The thing about the night creature / megabeast hybrids is that regular megabeasts, as seen in vanilla Dwarf Fortress, tend to all get knocked off after a century or two of world generation. They rarely, if ever, leave offspring, as this would require a male and female of the same megabeast species to meet.
Megabeast night creatures, however, just keep on abducting and assimilating ponies, and then reproducing with them. I've observed several generations appear in a test world.

...so there's a lot of alicorned Lil' Miss Rarity clones running around the world and doing... things. Not to mention the other creatures that I made.

I haven't even finished reading Ch. 7 of Murky Number Seven yet, but the following song :

Makes me think of the relationship (on multiple level) between Murky and Chainlink Shackles (aka "The Master").

This makes me think of the times where Iron ponies-up and goes awesome.

Hey Iron (or anybody else but I know Iron digs this kind of game) have you ever played Mount & Blade or Mount & Blade: Warband? They are pretty sweet games, especially with a good modulus on. My favorite is Sword of Damocles because of how big the game becomes. Basically you ride around and recruit soldiers and fight as a mercenary/vassal to kings and if you are badass enough you start your own kingdom.

I've heard about that game while in process of my usual internet crusades. It sounds fun. To be honest that sounds similar to my story but with major changes.

[Cptadder]

And Gangnam style passed one billion views, not just passed it but SHOT past it it's all ready at one point three million views. Wondering about the money on that? 1$ per 1000 views is the rough ratio, so he's officially made a million dollars off that video alone. The real money as always is in endorsement deals and associated stuff. Of course have a billion hit video on Youtube? Here's an iphone be sure to flaunt it when your doing interviews.

[222222]

@Iron: well I know there is a free trial on Desura, and probably elsewhere. I would highly recommend it. I just started to get back into it, and it's a real time sink for me again.

@Gangnanstyle: I remember someone posting that video here, or rather in the other thread, a while ago. I thought "that's pretty stupid." But a billion views, I have to hand it to PSY, that's impressive.

[Ironmonger]

A time-sink isn't exactly an option for me, I'm really busy most of the time despite the fact I seem to dick around a lot.

While I'm thinking about it, whatever happened to the TF2 get-togethers the PHCC would have on occasion?

Aaaaaaaaaanyway, in all seriousness Harmony is right, the ADD does help with multi-tasking, it's just focusing on one thing that gets me.

@Iron
...you have control of what task your ADD switches you to?
Why couldn't I of had that ADD? :P

Heh, odd right? Really I just have to switch to something other than what I am currently doing every few minutes, else shit starts to get out of control, in which case I'm like "fuck it, I'm done." Instead of the train being late to the station, the train aint gonna arrive at all. The train derailed and exploded, everyone on board either died or was injured, and there's shrapnel all over the damn place! xD

It's a condition that provides constant amusement.

While I'm thinking about it, whatever happened to the TF2 get-togethers the PHCC would have on occasion?

um... that's my fault mainly, I kept forgetting to post new events (plus steam doesn't have a repeat function), due to being busy, and Admiral Rum (who volunteered to be an officer) apparently didn't pick up the slack, because we never got into the groove
thankfully tonight's the start of my break, so I'm completely free so I'll set up an event, expect to see it around 9 pm EST

[222222]

Well as they say Swicked, childhood is apparently a disease now and the cure is Ritalin.

Edit: that is not to say ADD isn't a real issue or a serious problem in some people's lives, merely that it is far too over diagnosed for children who are behaving exactly as children do, with short attention spans and high energy.

I love Warband, but it requires so much time (or really, really low honor, which is usually bad if you want to get awarded fiefs and the like) to get anywhere. I'm going to play some of it over the holidays, maybe try out some of those mods.

Still, an army of elite Swadians against some king's force while kicking ass using an awesome bow from horseback and a claymore for good measure is some fun.

[222222]

@IncoherentOrange: I would recommend the Sword of Damocles modulus, especially for the mercenaries and guns. At first I didn't like gun mods because I thought they would ruin the game, but all the guns reload slower than crossbows so it balances well. The mercenaries are just awesome, from the realistically plausible like Cataphracts and Musketti men to the ridiculously awesome like Samarurais and Conquistadors, complete with Foil and Buckler and those weird poofy pants. My first run I played I started with the Saranids so I generally prefer Mamlukes (Marmadukes as my family calls them) over swadian cavalry. That and a Rhodok Crossbow and Sergeant picket line to rally the cavalry behind between charges, and you are set. In vanilla M&B that is, Sword of Damocles adds so many new units and weapons I haven't picked my ideal military yet, right now it consists of a ragtag group of Samurais and Villanaise archers with some peasants mixed in for meat shields. It also overhauls the politics and adds religion, which I typically ignore in favor of leaving an ocean of blood to do my negotiating.

@Swicked: he is five months old and he comprehends not only English but Santa Clause? He is smarter than I was. And way to murder a childhood dude, uncouth. Uncouth indeed.

I was never led to believe in Santa Claus. And just look at me now!

[Ketchup]

In other news, I just told my five month old that there is no Santa Claus. He's taking it pretty well.

I agree with that decision.
Just tell him to keep it to himself, since a lot of children are led to believe Santa exists. I know I was, though I never was directly told he doesn't exist. Ever.

I just found this GIF animation: [link]
best animation ever! too bad I can't post it...damn flash...

@ketchup

He's five months old, ketchup. He doesn't understand English XD

He might remember it, you never know. Heh.

Actually, your first 18 months of life is where you pick up 90% of your language skill, so they may not seem to completely understand it, but their little brains are picking it all up and processing it to figure out the language.
