@fredley THANK YOU I TRY

Origami Robot

@Unionhawk But that news was already leaked earlier this week

MadMAxJr

@murgatroid99 Also in a society largely dominated by independent/cooperative Matriarchies, given the levels of technology present as depicted in the cartoon, it should be fairly likely that the educated citizens should be progressing for a more progressive form of representative government. I suspect the show is propaganda to keep the Matriarchy in place and that off-camera we are shielded from seeing those who question the status-quo.

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot Yes this is true

MadMAxJr

5:01 PM

I have too many stupid questions about cartoon pony society.

murgatroid99

@MadMAxJr The fact is, though, that most criticisms of monarchy and dictatorship as a system of rule fall apart when the monarchs are both benevolent and immortal.

Yuuki

@MadMAxJr It's entirely possible that given benovolent rule, they don't want representative government.

MadMAxJr

They state that friendship is magic. Does that mean friendship is /mandatory/ and magically enforced?

Yuuki

Most (read: all) pushes for representative government come from people who are being oppressed by non-representative government.

@MadMAxJr I don't see how that follows.

murgatroid99

5:03 PM

@MadMAxJr No, it means that there is literal magic in friendship

MadMAxJr

Okay, I'll concede on that one.

Yuuki

If fireballs are magic in D&D, does that mean your house always has to be on fire?

MadMAxJr

@Yuuki Depending on your DM, that could be /yes/.

GnomeSlice

I'm pretty sure the politics in my little pony are designed so that four year old girls can understand them

murgatroid99

@MadMAxJr That's almost literally what the next episode is about

GnomeSlice

Are the politics really that complicated

Think about the target audience

Children can pretty much grasp the concept of a king or queen and that's about it

Matt Giltaji

@GnomeSlice bronies seem complex

MadMAxJr

Oh yes, it's for four year old children, sure, but I'm taking the time to absurdly apply more complex thinking to it for my own personal amusement.

murgatroid99

I mean, it's not actually soviets, but it's a town based on enforced equality, which is kind of similar, and was immediately compared to communism

MadMAxJr

5:11 PM

I can see a Stalinist pony. "Magic is for the people, not for the indvidual."

murgatroid99

@GnomeSlice Children can enjoy the plot of a show without understanding all of the underlying details

@MadMAxJr In a sense, it's more Equalists, than Communists, but those are pretty similar

GnomeSlice

I'm pretty sure it's meant to be taken at face value

Matt Giltaji

my wife is jealous of it, but now wants me to get her a real life pig

@GnomeSlice no, it paws at your corpse and laughs

MadMAxJr

I doubt the pig would cry. But if you had seven of them fully grown, they could devour your corpse, bones and all.

Q: What is the deal with Providence?

At the begining of Risk of Rain, Providence (final boss) shows up and causes your ship to crash (leading to the rest of the game). Once you get to the UES Contact Light again, and fight your way through it, you find and battle Providence. But, when you win, he says: You... monster... Why do...

@Arperum If they do it, it will be really obvious, so they will be caught.

Unionhawk

Yuuki

5:49 PM

@Unionhawk Party like it's 1982!

murgatroid99

As a certificate authority, signing a certificate for an entity that does not own the domain it's a certificate for is a breach of contract with whoever signed their certificate. Doing that a million times over is insane

Fluttershy

That Risk of Rain question is speculative. It isn't stated anywhere why Providence does what he do.

That said, I wish I could play Risk of Rain again. :( One of their updates completely borked the game. I can't even launch it now.

No, an animation cancel that lets you use a firekeeper soul without using it up

And it can be edited with a server variable to have /way/ more than four players.

GnomeSlice

by extension, gives you infinite free healing, but that's lame

murgatroid99

There are enough things to exploit naturally, like enemy reaction distance and wander radius

GnomeSlice

Yes, but never having to be hollow is nice.

I prefer my people to not look like beef jerky

Origami Robot

@GnomeSlice Everyone loves beef jerky

GnomeSlice

Also my ~~asshole~~ darkwraith doesn't need to worry about having to use humanity if I die anywhere.

Although he doesn't die much any more, especially outside of invasions.

murgatroid99

Well, I never actually beat the game, so there may be a good argument for glitched free humanity

GnomeSlice

It's also a way to heal for free as a summon/invader.

Provided you have a few seconds to execute it.

Yuuki

5:57 PM

That's dirty.

GnomeSlice

Yeah a bit

I don't really need to heal as my invader most of the time.

Unless I end up invading somebody in NG+ in which case I basically never win anyway

I don't ever summon help, and hate being invaded, so I just never go human.
