    The simplest and most truthful response is that it's enjoyable for the same general reasons that anything else is. In particular: the characters are likeable, the production quality is great, and the fandom behind it is amazing. It's just a good show, there's no reason to complicate the matter.

    For anyone that was watching this, the final part is out;



    Came here to post this. I'm happy it's finally wrapped up. I think it ended pretty well, even if the latter with all its goodbyes were really, really drawn out. It was all quite clever and well constructed, and was great fun trying to figure everything.

    I have this issue too, and can't find any way to fix it.

    It seems the shaders run on the GPU, which overrides the set anti-aliasing via the control panel. Maybe tweaking some settings can get it to overlook the shaders, or perhaps a mod for Minecraft could. Either way it kinda sucks now.

    ^ I agree. Night time is a bit too dark. I also wish the torches emitted more light, as caves and houses are really dark. Is there any way I can tweak these values?

    For what it's worth to anyone here that still reads fanfics, I'll be reading Background Pony soon. Doesn't see like the usual adventure/epic fanfics I generally stick to, but it's said to be good. I wonder how someone made an enjoyable 432k story out of Lyra being largely forgettable.

    The art's really good, though the only thing that's a bit off is that Rainbow Dash looks a bit like a...balloon. She appears way too shiny on some places; maybe shading would be better.


    Thank you (and to everyone else that complimented). I'm aware that she looks a bit like shiny plastic. I tried adding some deeper shading to make her contours and body seem more natural, but when I originally began drawing I set out with a cel-shaded cartoon-esque look in mind. I'm not particularly good at shading yet, either. Currently I'm drawing to practice smooth lines and shapes. I plan for my next drawing to have some better shading though.

    I drew again, for anyone that cares. Faloxx (old member that left) asked for Rainbow Dash, so I sketched this:



    Which (after a 5 hour period) turned into this:



    Here's the page. I uploaded an 8k version; it has 16x the pixel count of 1920x1080.

    I never understood the point in choosing to leave a fandom. I understand slowly fading from it on a natural level, but the actual choice? Seems silly to me, because there was accountable reasons for you even being a part of it. It's not as if those reasons have fundamentally changed. I guess the person changes, which is something I'm not prone to.

    I stick by the show and fandom because I still enjoy it. The show is fun to watch, and the fandom still creates some really amazing things. Sometimes I feel that growing lull of absence in the back of my mind, but usually an amazing fanfic or the next season drops and it's whisked from my thoughts. Even when I do eventually move on, I'll still respect it all, remembering fondly the fun times and amazing people I met. Never before have I seen something like this, where so many open-minded people suddenly come together for discussion and content creation that inspires that awes and inspires me. It'll be a long time before I see this again, so I want it enjoy it while it lasts.

    Nostalgia is a poison best left untasted. In my experience it only works to destroy what you still love.

    I'm here, joined in fall of 2010. MC is starting to get old to me though, I don't find it as fun as it once was. The PPNS section has become very redundant, with nothing new that's stimulating or challenging. The pony thread(s) haven't been the same since the staff came in and violated us horribly a couple of years ago, but now it's almost dead with activity. I'll probably be gone in about half year's time.

    It's a fun show but there's a lot of angst and cliche anime drama. If the superficial content was cut then it'd be a lot more enjoyable.

    Anyone else have a higher framerate? I'm getting about 100-200 more frames than normal, and this is on amplified. Hopefully this sticks with 1.7 because I'm liking it.
