It seems that I am functionally incapable of driving on the Nurburgring. I hate the track so much that I think I end up subconsciously crashing on general principle.

Nurburgring is hard, if you play the 24h endurance back at GT4 you get a pretty good idea of where the bumps are, the problem is that different cars react different to the bumps, in my case I just play it and play it until I get a clean lap(used to do that all the time back with the GT-R). There are times when several attempts are made to correct the different mistakes(bad breaking points, bad cornering points and silly mistakes like getting a bit off road), but there is a point in which is hopeless and there is when a stop of attempts is required.

The best strategy after 10 or 15 attempts without luck is to stop altogether and try latter, tension builds up because there are point in which mistakes have to be overcome, this creates a status of "overtension" which is problematic at the time of tackling posterior corners and high speed corners. What is ironic about it is that I love that track because of that, there is really a sense of knowledge and intuition that builds up as you get faster and faster on the lap times, there is also a nice sense of achievement when the target time is achieved, and you know you can go faster(for the record, my fastest lap archived with the GT-R before selling the PS was 7:20 and that was it, I couldn't get lower than that, not even by tuning and I know that 7:18 is possible).[/Off topic Nurburgring experience]



Apart from that, By looking at that Ask prince tumblr something pop into my mind: The size of the horn really matters?. I mean, Celestia has more magic than all the other ponies, therefore she has the biggest horn, but that isn't the case because Twilight's horn is smaller than Trixie's. Is certainly a peculiar mystery to be solved, not to mention that Rarity seems to have the biggest horn among normal unicorns besides of prince douche.

And ask pinkamina updated, which makes me want to see an Iron Chef style duel between Lecter and Diane, Sauté stake or Cupcake, who will win?

I'll reply to everything in the morning, but before I go to bed let me say that 66684 is the best one yet. The best one yet. "Nearly choke on my tongue" funny.



It is also the most explicit one, so consider this your warning.

Good night.
 
I saw this a few hours ago on DA. Unfortunately it's not for sale.
If Hasbro could do this sort of job on the plushies I'd buy the mane 6 and any other characters they brought out. The creator's also doing a pattern for people to follow to make their own.

Want...want now. Curse my love of plushies.

By the way, I hate EVERY pony in the world except for Augmented Rarity <3

Hate? Or just don't like?

There is a difference, I just wanted to make sure.

Huh, that's actually my favorite track.

I love the challenge. For the last month I was actually playing the game I did nothing but hotlap on there and do the seasonals.
I probably never would've gotten bored if I didn't have to maintain a Excel worksheet with all of my times on each car because of the 10 car only leader board.

@Toro, I'm not a fan of the ring. I prefer Trial Mountain and the other original tracks. I'd like to get better at the ring though.
I might try what Mint's doing with the lap time excel sheet.
 


More friends for RD!



The meteors are OK, the fireflies are what overwhelms the scene IMO. 👍

Interesting, I like the shadowing and I see that you can pull that off correctly.

The next step is to compare it to the "normal" style.

Conflicted about this. Will wait for the alternate coloring job before commenting.

Starting to work on the "normal" one in 1 hour. I really wanted to do a live stream, but my PC is just too weak for this.
I can update the picture each 30 minutes if you like?

That is some quality stuff!

Oh god lol :lol:

I'll wait for someone else to figure out what I'm talking about, because I am not posting that here.
 
I saw or heard this phrase somewhere, but I can't remember.


Can someone please tell me, where I can get my lineart traced for free?

And about the new tumblr image, horn size does matter.

I've never hated the Nurburgring, I just love the challenge that track provides. I spent a hell of alot of time doing fast laps and testing new cars on the Ring in GT4, although I haven't really used that track to test cars in GT5. Instead I use either Trail Mountain or Suzuka (and on some occasions, Rome Circuit).

Also, I urge you to use the Jaguar XJR-9 LM with racing softs on the Ring. I reckon it is by far and away the most fun you can have in a Group C on that track.

66684 is the best one yet. The best one yet.

Win. Pure win :lol:

I guess that settles that.


Anyway,




I love this comment(Check "Linked Comment") so much.

:lol:

Also,

I feel like there is a reaction image to be made of this, but I don't feel like thinking of one right now.

Hmm, I don't think anyone here is going to use that Big Mac wake up image (actually, I get the feeling that someone will).


Also:
My Little Hangover - Part 5

Security Pony talking to Rarity: "Yeah, better hurry. You're on the pole in twenty minutes".


Also, random Panda bear: "You gonna buck on me?"

This crossover is hilarious :lol:

And I've just realised that this is the only crossover fic I'm reading right now, plus it's the best I've read up to this point.
 
Big Mac wake up image?

Dammit. Can't....decide:banghead:

EDIT: Just finished watching an Episode of Psych. There was a guy with the last name Macintosh. The main guy Shaun always makes up weird nicknames when he introduces someone.
He called him Big Apple Macintosh. I loled.

EDIT: I'll probably go with the Big Mac one now that I put more thought into it. I mean, Tom is funny, but I feel like the joke will get stale with grey text, a Tom avatar, and a Tom wake up image. I think I'll dial it down a bit.

I've found it's impossible for me to start a chapter without something ludicrously absurd happening.

In my case, a pegasus rolling on the ground, licking other ponies' legs while making silly noises.
 
Oh, just seemed to be a strange setting.

I've hit total writer's block. Mainly because my ****ing job drains all the joy and mental capability I have. Seriously, I genuinely work with people on the same level as a care home...because that's where most of them come from!

So whenever I look at the GDoc for chapter seven of Allegrezza, my eyes defocus and my brain just shuts down into a haze. Annoying, because I know there's a tonne of ideas for what to write behind that haze...I just can't grab them.

I'm basically using a war as an excuse to shoehorn violence into MLP, and it's working remarkably well from what I can tell. I may need to adjust power levels though, I think I've made things a little too unrealistic.
 
Sumbitch. Mommy Nearest updated this morning, and I won't have time to read it until tomorrow evening.





Also, let's say I bought a 360 Slim. Are you supposed to put them vertical or horizontal? If I put it next to a FIVE-HUNDRED NINETY-NINE U.S. DOLLARS PS3, will they attack each other when I leave the room?
