LISTENING PARTY @ 4PM SLT

Tonight's gonna be a little different. For the optimal experience, please enable parcel media and listen via the stream tonight. Parcel music will still work but it won't be sync'd to the video (for anypony wanting to listen in the background).

Tonight's special to me. I hope those who attend enjoy. Thank you horses <3

It's actually crazy how good Popen Fashion Show works as an event. Dressing up is like 90% of SL, and you can pre-prepare all the outfits beforehand. It just works so beautifully. Bravo, popessimos!

>>42446640
I liked it because it gave me a chance to choose the theme I wanted. I like all the themed events we do and seeing what others do, but I just don't have ideas for a lot of those to participate.

>>42446631
Well, getting stung by a bee makes you look like a gigachad.

A true example of “anti-fashion.” Bravo!

Posting this again, this time not in the tail end of a thread.
Anypony interested in watching some horrormovie sometime? I feel like it's been an underrepresented genre in movie nights. Some good ones:
>The wicker man (1973)
>Hereditary (2018)
>The Witch (2015)
>Pet Sematary (1989)
Somepony else also suggested "bring her back" which I haven't seen.

A huge thank you to Ruby for organizing this event, providing the music, and helping with the designs. It took an incredible amount of effort. Thank you to all the participants; you were all so cute. I love you all! You are all amazing!
As a photopopen, I can say that it was not easy. You literally have a few seconds to set up the camera, angle, and zoom level. You can't pause the world like I usually do at parties.

>>42446856

I only slept for five hours after yesterday's party. I wanted to take a walk around the old town today, but who needs real life when you can be a pony in Baltimare?

Thank you popens and photopopen for everything you do and for sharing it with the rest of us.
I'm glad to be able to see happy powys having fun and wish you more good times down the road.

We're watching ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK today, fellas. Again no pre-show since I don't know what to stream and not sure if I will be home in time for it, but MOVIE STARTS AT 12PM SLT

we . tl / t-TKpZhm0EML

>>42445016
I'm aware it doesn't have any goals. That's exactly why I'm asking for things to do, you moron.
And I can't really treat it as a chatroom because I can't exactly keep it open in the background and reply when I have something to say. Especially since 99% of the time I have nothing to say, because most conversations are seemingly either in-jokes or roleplay. So I asked for things to do while waiting for a topic that's actually relevant to me. Or, alternatively, until I got enough of the in-jokes to participate.
>seem to understand how people get good at these things in the first place
What exactly about my posts gave you that idea? I practise drawing multiple times a week BECAUSE I wanna eventually get good. I just don't trust myself with referencing a non-show-style pic, because I want to have a good grasp of the basics before I start experimenting with fancy poses and styles.
And I'm not learning to 3D model. Fuck that noise.
>>42445088
>It's more about being than doing
Now that I don't get. Are you saying the point of SL is to be in SL?
>Form, anatomy, lines of action.
I have no idea what the other two are, and right now I'm focusing on anatomy. The fundamentals of anatomy. And I'm not good enough to start using something that's NOT show style as learning material, because I know it will just fuck with my head.
>>42445125
>The prop isn't necessary. You could just as well just park your pony somewhere.
Yeah, but then I'd need to figure out how to pose my pony. Which is what I thought you meant by "prop"
>sketch out moving ponies
I could just use a show screencap for that.

>>42447741
Not that anon but
>Are you saying the point of SL is to be in SL?
Pretty much. You can be a little pony in a pony city doing pony things. How much there is to it is basically dependent on what you make out of it. If you don't see the point in this then you're not alone and that's fine. Others enjoy this experience and the freedom to just do whatever you'd do in such a simulated city.

>>42447750
>You can be a little pony in a pony city doing pony things.
Yeah. I'm just trying to figure out what exactly the options for "pony things" are, to see if any of them appeal to me.

>>42447756
Understandable.
In my experience the people with the longest staying power saw pics and videos in the thread just just wanted to do what they saw too and then got hooked on the experience feel hanging out there provides.
The others who were always struggling with "finding stuff to do" or in general to entertain themselves in SL usually left for good quite early on.
So I'd say if you really don't see a point, maybe even after giving it a try, it's no big deal to forget about it. All this here scratches a certain autistic itch and if you don't feel it, it's just not something you'd enjoy and forcing it would just be a waste of your time.

Does the horse seeking HUD have an option that makes it track ONLY avatars and not random objects?
I think a toggle for that would be insanely han- hoofy.

>>42447741
You don't need to say something deep and insightful to have a conversation.

In-jokes? We're from /mlp/. You already share a culture. Just comment about something ridiculous you see in the world. Or ask a question about how to do something. Or you could have this exact conversation in-world, and others would be able to help you more directly, or at least keep you in mind when they find something interesting.

It really feels like you're just making excuses and trying to find every reason not to do something, rather than expressing a genuine interest.

>>42447777
Digits confirm that if this isn't possible, it now has to happen

>>42447786
Oh shit you're right.
Also, a usecase:
The fashion event.
Some random objects could easily steer pony heads randomly all the time or sometimes even lock the head angle to something underground making the hud kinda useless in that moment.

If avatar-only was toggled on in this situation then the heads would only focus on the pony walking on the catwalk (and the occasional moving audience ponies). After the event is over you could just toggle tracking both avatars and objects back on again.

>>42447768
Yeah, I find the pics on here uninteresting, which is the reason I've ignored this general for as long as I did.
I mainly tried to get into it because I met some friends who are really into it, and I guess I caught fomo. Guess I'm just not autistic enough for this. Anyway, back to optimising my factorio megabase
>>42447783
>You don't need to say something deep and insightful to have a conversation
Problem is that I have NOTHING to say. I see the conversations people are having and just draw a complete blank.
>Just comment about something ridiculous you see in the world
Yeah, I would normally do that. Except I have yet to see anything ridiculous.
>Or ask a question about how to do something
I do that already, but I barely have any questions at all.
>Or you could have this exact conversation in-world, and others would be able to help you more directly, or at least keep you in mind when they find something interesting
I tried. Got ignored.
>It really feels like you're just making excuses and trying to find every reason not to do something
I'm not. I just have an inherent filter on what seems fun enough to be worth a try. It sucks, and it's the main reason I want people to convince me to try things, cause otherwise nothing sounds fun.

>>42447818
You sound like you aren't fun in general

>>42447818
post popen

>>42447833
Sounds about right to be desu.
>>42447842
Nope. I'd rather not be known as the retard who basically shat up the thread looking for a way to have fun with the game/platform.
Also my popen is ugly as shit.

>>42447870
post popen, bitch

>>42447870
So, I just wanna say, as a fellow artist/writer who struggles to find joy in the same autistic things others do, if you would like to reach out at some point just to chat and see if together we could find something interesting for you to do in SL, I'll drop a smoke signal if so.

But, I do just wanna note, fun in SL is kind of just... what you make of it. You say you met friends who are into it, talk to them, see about doing activities with them. You said you like writing, but slice of life isn't your thing, you can kit up your popen to fit into what IS your preferred genre and see about doing the silly in character thing as that and try and feel that out. There's a wide variety of ponyfriends here and surely there's somepony who fits your brand of autism enough to relate. I mean, I already do to an extent and that's only based off the posts of yours I've been reading.

>>42447893
Actually, that sounds lovely. I'd like that.

As for what my friends like to do. One likes to play hoofball. I've agreed to try it, but I know I don't like the real thing much, so the same thing but with latency and awkward controls seems less fun. I'll keep an open mind though.
The other one likes to hang out with friends on it, but that's exactly what I've been struggling with.

>>42447870
>I don't care about this game or plan to play it again
>I don't want a bad reputation for this group of people I don't give a single fuck about

>>42447893
Nice offer but they said they refuse to learn how to add props and kit anything. They also complained about roleplay which would take away the in character option. I don't see anyone roleplay in Balti as a matter of fact. What did that anon even mean?

>>42447911
This anon doesn't know Scribble Script.

>>42447818
To get hooked on Second Life and become a Baltimarian, you had to at least:
- Be Anon from 4chan (preferably from /mlp/)
- Love ponies
- Want to get into Equestria
- Have a certain degree of autism to get hooked on the idea of being a pony.
- Understand that Second Life is not a game or just a chat room, but a completely different and unique genre of “parallel life.”
- Accept that Second Life will never be perfect; it will always lag and glitch, and yet you will never stop loving and hating it at the same time.
(Everything written is, of course, only my opinion.)

>>42447915
I have, they're just rare recently. The anon asking questions said they didn't talk because all conversion was either inside jokes or roleplay. Hard to believe since roleplay isn't the norm.

>>42447387
>too late to get my own
oh well

>>42447911
>>I don't want a bad reputation for this group of people I don't give a single fuck about
Anon, you know the whole point of me posting here is that I WANT to find things to do and ways to have fun, right?
A bad reputation to that would be an additional roadblock to me being able to enjoy the game.
>roleplay
Yeah, bad choice of words. I'm not exactly sure how to put it or what exactly it is called, but I'm talking about those single word exchanges/action between two people that make it difficult to actually join the conversation because it's not even really a conversation.
Also, if it's a pre-requisite to enjoy the game, I can learn some things except 3D modelling. I hate that shit from the deepest depths of where my soul should be
I just wanna see if the game is worth the effort of doing no first.
>>42447916
I actually check all these boxes. Which is exactly why I wanted to give it a shot.

>>42445232

>>42447893
>I'll drop a smoke signal if so.
This is meant figuratively, right? Or does the game have literal smoke signals?

>>42448021
Figuratively. Aka give a hint on who you are so others can actually contact you

>Yeah, I would normally do that. Except I have yet to see anything ridiculous.
Okay, then anything of passing interest or note.
Do you not have any curiosity about things? Surely there's something you've seen that invites a question or makes you wonder.
>Guess I'm just not autistic enough for this.
I think it might be the opposite, anon...

>>42448088
Are you by any chance the smoke signal anon? Because if so there's no need because I already know who you are.

>>42448093
afraid not, that's a different anon

>>42448091
Not on the sim, no. Everything seems self-explanatory.

>>42447870
>>42447818
>>42447938
The game is entirely what you make of it, if you're not content with just idly chatting I'd recommend keeping track of how many are online. Sometimes things are really dead and other times a lot of stuff is happening at once. If there are only a hooffull of ponies online it might not be worth it for you to try and get on.
There are some regularly scheduled events such as parties, havok, field trips, movies, events, photoshoots e.t.c. but some of the most fun I have is doing simple things in the moment with frens. For example I've never even touched on photography, havok or lewd stuff (or frankly anything that requires effort).
Ultimately it's a social game, what do you enjoy doing with others?

>>42448134
>what do you enjoy doing with others?
Most of my social interactions are just idle chatter with friends on dicksword.

>>42447939

yeah that was quite easy actually

>>42447741
>I have no idea what the other two are, and right now I'm focusing on anatomy. The fundamentals of anatomy. And I'm not good enough to start using something that's NOT show style as learning material, because I know it will just fuck with my head.
Again, that's not how it works. You don't just master one art fundamental at a time, and then when you think that's "done" or "good enough", move on to the next; rather, you learn them in tandem.

These elements don't exist in a vacuum. They're interrelated. Your knowledge of one builds on your knowledge of the others.

>>42448204
Nigger I have zero understanding of anatomy. I need SOME understanding of anatomy before I can even think of trying to understand the other two.

>>42448219
stop giving excuses and just start doing shit, it's the only real way to learn
fuck about. find out.

This Barky guy is annoying as fuck.

>>42448223
You fucking retard, that's exactly what I've been doing. You're the one I need to study lines and forms and anatomy. I just want to fucking draw.

>>42448219
>>42448204
You two should make up and shake hooves or I'm going to force you two to learn anatomy from each other while bound up on my buckbed

>>42448219
No, no you don't. Form, for example, is literally just breaking an object down into simpler shapes (if drawing from life/reference), or creating it out of simple shapes (if drawing from imagination). It is interrelated to anatomy.

>>42448231
It's a cycle.
You draw something. It sucks. Why does it suck? You break it down into its component parts, you look at how you approached every art fundamental, and figure out what you're doing wrong. Maybe you grind out some exercises in between. You draw something else, keeping in mind what you've learned. It still sucks - but hopefully a little bit less.

>>42448237
There are more than two people in this conversation

>>42447533
yes all of series 2 including THAT card

>>42447387
if someone gets mimosa and i dont i'll blow you for her

>>42448242
>Form, for example, is literally just breaking an object down into simpler shapes (if drawing from life/reference), or creating it out of simple shapes (if drawing from imagination).
I am infinitely too retarded to do that. You're referring to the circle thing, right? I tried that. Didn't work.
>You draw something. It sucks. Why does it suck? You break it down into its component parts, you look at how you approached every art fundamental, and figure out what you're doing wrong. Maybe you grind out some exercises in between. You draw something else, keeping in mind what you've learned. It still sucks - but hopefully a little bit less.
Then I guess I'll always suck, because these "fundamentals" are for people who are actually good at art. I do try to understand what went wrong with every drawing, but if I have to do the circle thing to improve then I guess I'll have to stay terrible.

>>42448267
Do you know what the word "fundamental" means?

>>42448272
Just state your point, retard.

>>42448281
They aren't for "good" artists, they're fundimental to art. As in, you do them because you aren't good and as you get good you get better at them.
>fundamental: a central or primary rule or principle on which something is based.

>>42446758
Yeah you're right we should watch one every now and then.
We always do nothing but horror movies on october, so we might have overcompensated by watching none of them for the rest of the year

can we ban tapi's alt for r2 please, that song has been going on for hours

>>42448704
Just perma blacklist the sound, I did it months ago.

>>42448706
or maybe tapi could stop being the most obnoxious popen on sim and stop it

MOBIE TIME

>>42448021
Now that you mention it, I should script a smoke signal generator to be used above bonfires
It would get used like twice total, but it'd still be funny

>>42448704
>>42448706
I wouldn't be surprised if someone has it out for tapi and is deliberately turning the dancer on just to be an annoyance. However, if you do notice that the dancer is playing it can easily be turned off just by typing 'off' in chat. This works surprisingly well for most dancers. Blocking works just as well if it can't be turned off.

>>42446758
I like Pet Cemetery!

>>42448304
I care about Pensive Stroke

>>42448708
It has been stopped. Anyone could have stopped it just by saying 'off'. If something is that annoying SL does allow players to block sounds or avatars as well. Getting this upset over something so trivial is ridiculous.

On a bus to see my marewife right now.
You really have no idea how much you've helped us.

>>42448267
Hey, this stuff is a long process, so don't sweat it. I'm going to be straightforward about what you should do if that's your goal - you seemed serious about getting gud, studying anatomy and trying to attack things in a certain order - so I just wanted to set you straight. But I'm also not going to belittle you if that isn't your goal. What's important in a hobby is that YOU feel fulfilled by it.

Just wanted to follow up because another anon jumped in the chain after I went to sleep.

Thumbnail looks like it shows the half closed eye of a grey popen wearing eyeshadow ... Spooky

The year has been running SO FAST no one noticed that it's almost Autumn again and that means penis inspection day in two weeks

>>42449282
Oh fucking hell.

>>42449282
Also means the trees will get colorful again

I'm actually gonna say, as an artist, there is no "correct" way to draw.
I DON'T do any of the laying down guidelines and shit. I don't work out skeleton shapes or basics or what have you. And I never have. Yet my art has actually surpassed some friends who were better than I was years ago who DO that stuff.
I literally just... get idea, start throwing down sketches till it looks right, then I follow through with line and color till I'm content with how it looks.
sometimes I even skip the sketch part and just pen something till it looks nice. picrel I just.. drew that. no reference no particular inspiration, just hors and a sort of understanding of anatomy.

>>42449323
obviously this would look nicer if I had sketched and put more time and thought into it, but that was doodled in about 15 minutes so like...

>>42449282
shit shit shit where am I going to find a penis on such short notice?

>>42449336
you can borrow mine anon

>>42449336
Just rent a dick silly

>>42449145
fuck off with your blogposting
this is why you're "not a popular popen" lime

Are pegasi who have GIANT wings based or are the ones that can fly with small wings based and the large wings ones cringe?
I don't know any pegasi in Balti who can't fly but they all vary in wing size.

>>42449191
>Indigo
>regulars
Did Indi come back from the dead or are you retarded

>>42449392
Not him but Indi does visit every full moon. Just became incredibly rare, not dead.

>>42449390
Pegasi with giant wings who winghugmaxx are based
The ones who just use it as a super special fashion accessory are cringe

That said I haven't seen many pegasi with truly noticeably giant wings, except the one tryhard alicorn

>>42449401
Ok so he should be in the second tier then ("still visit sometimes"), me and that anon are both retarded then

>>42449416
We're all retarded here

>>42449282

>>42449323
It's not about putting those shapes, skeletons, whatever on paper, it's more about your thought process. 90% of getting better is changing your way of thinking about stuff.
Plenty of artists don't draw these things out, but that's because they've learned how to construct it mentally. It's still construction, it's still perspective, it's still line and value, you're still using those art fundamentals, but you've internalized them and don't really do it consciously.

>>42449403
>haven't seen many pegasi with giant wings
>except alicorn
yes anon an alicorn isn't a pegasi thanks
>>42449390
I love huge wings personally, but there's not a whole lot of options I feel for OP, there's like... two? really big wingies that I like the style of and those styles just don't fit every pony

>>42449282

>>42449502
>you're still using those art fundamentals, but you've internalized them and don't really do it consciously
did you miss the part where I said I've never done those things?

>>42449513
>You don't have to do those things, as long as they live in your head it's enough
>Yeah but I just said I don't do them!!
anon...

>>42449523
You said artists don't do those because they've learned to construct them them mentally
I have never used those fundamentals, is what I'm getting at. I just draw till it looks good. If the proportions don't look good initially, I adjust it, but I'm not "constructing it out of shapes" because that has never worked for me. I think it's a neat trick some use, but I don't

>>42449191

>>42449535
I am not saying you have to literally draw a sphere, then put a crosshair on it, then use that to orient the snout
I am not saying you have to do that mentally, either
What I'm saying is that you probably do think, "hey, this cheek is kind of round and it should be a decent distance from the other side, which is also curved." Probably not as an internal monologue, but still. Congrats that's construction, you fucking did it. You just intuited a circle.
Keep doing that. Observe and critique your art using the things that make sense to you.

>>42449282
when's pussy inspection day?

>>42449571
oh
I understand yeah
I just wanted to lay down for the other anon tho that there's no like... "correct" way to draw specifically and I don't like the tone of others in thread implicating he's learning the wrong way bc he just wants to focus on one singular thing

do you expect the other to say bye even when the last chat was like half an hour ago or are you fine with them just logging off if it's been a while?

>>42449723
100% fine if there wasn't some discussion going or something. You chat a bit over IM and at some point the chat just kinda concludes on its own and it's fine to just move on from there. I only see a problem if one side expects some reply and the other one is just going offline.

>>42449676
Need.

>>42449403
I suppose that's all I'll ever be seen as to some of you.

Oh wow! This is incredible!

What are the big ponys discussing

>>42439502
Hi pony
I've been working and just haven't done anything more on SL than logging in to clear notifications and answer the rare IM.
First time checking the thread in like 4-ish months, so hope you're all well!

>>42450208
miss your shenanigans, come back soon

I like a pony. This pony is sweet and kind. How do I get over my pride and accept the love of this pony without looking like a faggot and burning for all eternity?

>>42447387
This is actually a really cool idea and kudos to those in the set

... although part of me wishes the card sets weren't abandoned to be included eventually. Maybe

>>42449833
sure

>>42450259
It's already over for you if you're a christkek

>>42450259
If you become a woman it's a straight relationship as Jesus intended.
Good luck Christsister.

I think she goes to marefair also

Unfortunate

Ban faggots who can't keep cock in their pants and make nice and sweet ponies leave

>>42450758
what if we banned (You)

>>42450758
he doesn't know

Ban wenches that can't stop sleeping around and make nice and sweet ponies miserable

>>42450758
>fag tease someone
>they leave
Many such cases!

>>42450758
Examples?

>>42450886
threadshitters be like
>generalised sweeping statement as fact
>refuse to elaborate
>dissapear from board

>>42449162
That makes sense, thanks anon. I'm not saying I'm never gonna try to learn that stuff, but I'm still overwhelmed by the basics. I can tell I've gotten a lot better over the past few months, though, so that may be sooner rather than later, kek.
>>42449323
Yep, that's what I've been doing. It's kinda how I got good at writing. I just wrote until I eventually started realising I needed more technical knowledge. I imagine my journey through learning to art will be similar.
>pic
Looks very nice, anon. And don't mind me, using this as an excuse to post my own.
>>42449535
I'm in the same boat. I may plonk down a circle or two to get the chest-to-head ratio right, but even that tends to induce errors more than it fixes.
>>42449662
I mean, after a night of sleep, I gotta say, the others are kinda right, and I probably am learning a whole lot of other things just by virtue of actively trying to improve every time I draw something.

>>42449104
>>42449837
Sorry dude, I was already asleep. I'll try to find it after work.

Sorry for the double post, I got hit the "our system thinks your post is spam" kikery. Is that new? I've been away from the board for a while.

>>42450921
You're all good poner. I may be laying down to sleep myself in a few hours but I'll leave myself logged in when I do.
>spoiler
I don't know, I run into it now and again and I'm still never fully sure what triggers it

>>42450921
>our system thinks your post is spam
This has been on the site for a while. At least a few years. You just have to reword your post, it won't accepted repeated phrases or spammed letters, among some other things which I can't think of right now.

>>42450933
That's what I tried at first. Reworded a bunch of things, moved some other things around, etc.
It didn't work until I removed the last part.

>>42450939
Probably a key word it didn't like. I recall one time it was really bitchy with me, but its not a huge deal.

>>42450398
ok staffie

can we turn off the rain?
the sound becomes annoying after awhile and its difficult to click through
the fire keeps going out as well

>>42451073
The rain is set to ignore clicks. Only way you're still able to click it is if you open the Edit menu first. Either that, or you're using a viewer that doesn't support prims ignoring clicks.

>>42450886

has any popen ever tried to reenact this pic with the same expression, head angle and all?

so the classic penis stroke experience

>>42451331

>>42451335
really good

Ever since that one big dev left LindenLab it feels like development simply just stopped which is a fucking shame. Tons of sudden improvements in the last couple years after like a decade of nothing and now a whole lot of stalled projects that seemed so promising.

Can confirm, had to listen to gilded splitting her in half when I roomed next to them last year

>>42451800
That was the African man they invited, Gilded was in a chair watching

>>42451805
Actually gilded was inside the African man the whole time
t. African

>>42451800
its is now my mission to sex gilded next month

>>42451805
This time those extra noises were from rara watching gilded rearrange her guts, easy mistake to make

I thought he stopped posting here about himself and his hag after getting all whiny and sorry but apparently he's being bored again
