>>41801599First for dashie
Dude I love Ponytown Moderators and Developers! I Hate Anonfilly.
Every-popen should post more in the /topg/ trash thread, many people there could be interested in joining and its made by the same thread makers here! Finding new people in /mlp/ is mostly exhausted but a lot of them would be into this. >>>/trash/72049436
>>41801730>openly calling for offboardersNot sure if false flag or just retarded
>>41801738Surely youve seen the signs before this. This is an offboarder general.
>>41801749I'm starting to prefer "off boarders" to how the regular nu-4ch dipshits here act
I know these should be considered bait but with the kinds of people in-sim I don't know anymore dude>>41801730>dox yourself bro, give me more blackmail bro>bigger = betterYou will be put to death inshallah>>41801784Esplain
honestly if I could, I'd just create an OPG specific image archive that could be uploaded to anonymously, and have filtered sections for sfw and nsfw imagesbasically what I want is popenbooru
>>41801790Most popens labeled "zomg cringe offboarder" but wasn't straight up banned, has tended to be very chill and friendly ingameMeanwhile a almost all of the "board culture" /mlp/ denizens have a raincloud of drama following them 24/7, eventually getting bans for being so derangedObviously this isn't universal but it seems more a rule than an exception
>>41801808as a certified oldfag, I've been labeled both cringe offboarder and "out of touch" bc I've been around so longcurrent 4chan has become quite depressing and if thinking that makes me out of touch I'll go chill with the offboarders I'm supposedly part of
>>41801808I would rather a community of pureblooded schizo /mlp/ users than a sim full of furfag secondaries
>>41801815these are not mutually exclusive
>>41801818Incredibly rare exceptions
>>41801823you'd be surprised, actuallymany are just simply very good at hiding their power level
>>41801827I have no problems with furries liking ponies AND keeping discussion relavent when appropriate, but there are definitely those that just can't help themselves but to insert their furfag shit into everything they do. (i.e. barely pony related avatars/bronies are diet furries type discussion/etc. etc.)Basically, they can't separate their autism and we have to suffer theirs instead of our own.
>>41801845bronies are worse furries, actually:)
>>41801808gilded, durpy, red velvet, melody, breezy, did you forget about those? Bunch of popens labeled as "zomg cringe offboarder" with 24/7 drama following them around that got them eventually banned?On top of that its at most 30/70 ratio of popens labeled as off boarders/anons, despite being the minority they've gotten into an equal if not bigger amounts of drama
>>41801845The fact that you don't realize >50% of Baltimare regulars are furries is proof that most of them can indeed keep their autism under cloak.
>>41801849>>41801864You have to still be able to fit in. Any ultra-retarded fag can come post once in the thread and say "yeah I'm from /mlp/" - or, case in point, you genuinely see bronies-are-furries type posts now and then here. That doesn't mean just anypony who's ever posted is automatically welcome.If your entire profile is violently, digustingly furfaggoty, it is a very very strong sign that they do NOT, in fact, fit in. That doesn't mean everyone has to hide their funny groups to be allowed on-sim. It does however mean that if your entire profile is fully centered on being a furfag, you're gonna have to try extra hard to make sure it's clear that you do fit in and aren't just here to be a furfag tourist shitter.
>Desperately attempting to stoke drama while everyone is asleepCease.>>41801614 through >>41801728Great 'shots!The overwhelming majority of outlets at the annual Shop-and-Hop may be next to irrelevant for most popen, but at least some of the storefronts made for creative backdrops prime for impromptu photography.Always a treat running into (You), Gooey, and I'm glad one of us brought their camera along to the post-shopping rush. Not that I had much time to prepare myself prior to first arriving there, as >>41801615 so blatantly demonstrates... Was yoinked straight out of bed and plunked right down onto the mall's floor, before I had any chance to properly wake-up and get dressed. More than a little embarassing, but the rest of the trip was a good time spent gawking at gaudy and occasionally-shoddy wares made by the realm's two-legs in good company, at least.Hadn't any time whatsoever to attempt composing something remotely presentable with my crappy camera phone, so here's a /very/ throwaway 'take of me dancing with a teeny little giraffe familiar Kuro summoned forth from the aether.Little guy wasn't for sale, of course, not that I'd ever dare take him from his master. But he was still a fair sight more entertaining than all those oversized dresses and hoof-polish we passed by in droves, that's for sure...!

>>41801801Or, y'know, you could just use the already existing boorus for that. They have plenty of SL pics already. https://ponerpics.org/search?q=second+life
>>41801963personally I would rather not have my character uploaded to offboarder sites to be tracked, being associated with this thread is something I try to keep on the down low
>>41801963Theres like 10 decent photos.No, I think something like the pinup calendar would be cool.
>>41802119You can use a board booru for that then, like twibooru
>>41802201what does this mean
>>41802231it means he likes pearshape, anon
Some animations make my tail slightly bend to the side after I have stopped them and it makes it look like I'm flagging my tail to the side (wtf).I haven't found any way to reset my tail bone apart from logging out and logging back in. Are there any other ways? And why can some animations permanently fuck up bone rotations for the session?
>>41802253Googled it and it just means shapely rump. (Hopefully on a pony.)>>41802257Might right click on avatar - > appearance -> reset -> skeleton work?I really don't know
>>41802257Right click avatar > reset skeleton and animations to reset locallyAfter that tp to a far away sim and then tp back to where you are to reset it for everyone else.
>>41802257hot
>>41802257>why can some animations permanently fuck up bone rotations for the session?this game is 90% duct tape, on a base of 10% cardboard
>>41801730So I have multiple problems>made by the same thread makers hereI don't believe that thread is being made by Neri, nor Marble.That thread is, for the most part, completely pointless. If the goal is lewd photography, we were already posting it here behind off-site links.If the goal was to find new members, then it means we'll only be getting ponies that come here for sex only. Basically more AFKers that get groomed and pulled away to cliques.If the goal is to find out who is open to degeneracy or not, then that's already available in world by observing them for 5 minutes...we're not subtle.
>>41802266>>41802268Reset skeleton doesn't work.But I have a feeling it has something to do with the fact that I don't run any hud for my tail and also don't use a rigged tail. So I guess it gets confused after playing an animation that apparently included the tail bone back to playing nothing on that bone. I may switch to a rigged tail soon though and that will probably fix it since I haven't heard of that issue from others so far and I guess most use rigged tails.

AM I RETARDED?AM I GOING CRAZY?WHERE THE FUCK DOES THAT MINI MALL COME FROM? THERES EVEN AN ARCADE AGAIN? AND A GYM ROOM?SINCE WHEN IS THAT HERE
>>41802277I kinda feel that the goal is to show that opg belongs to /trash, or so was initial reason of a threadshitter who shilled the idea Which is something a Desu would doas we're supposedly doomed and Balti is going to die, because jannies banned a ReAl anon like him
>>41802278>I don't run any hud for my tailThere's your problem. Use the Tail AO or your tail bones will always just stay on the position that the last tail-moving animation you used left them at.
>>41802277>If the goal is to find out who is open to degeneracy or not, then that's already available in world by observing them for 5 minutes.How do I know if they're into mares or stallions?How do I know if they just want to make private pictures (Is that what poseballing is? I'm still unsure) or RP? If I ever actually got around to sexo it would be for that as I'm not really into RP.What if they're NOT clear about that stuff in world but are part of a group, I mean what if they're just in it IRONICALLY?inb4 "Just ask them">>41802330I really don't think it's that deep. Some popens are really into lewd stuff so they want a place to post and/or enjoy lewd stuff, it's not that dissimilar from all the different groups.Sure catbox works but it's kind of hard looking for a picture you saw posted as one 2 months ago if you didn't save it
>>41802340Just ask themAlso, poseballing is mutual whackoff time

post your REVOLUTIONARY NEW PRODUCT IDEAS in this thread IMMEDIATELYi'll start:popen musk but its washable and it gets stronger every day you don't go for a shower or have another pony clean itsome kind of toy or carrot held in mouth but other ponies that bump into you can steal it and then they have it in their mouthplatform horse shoesfloaty ball that you can headbutt to bounce and you get a point every time you headbutt it into the air until it touches the floor so you can play keepy-uppy
>>41802424popen instruments, like a lyre or violin or guitar or trumpet, with idle animations and playing animations of different speeds to match the songs you play
>>41802445You should check out the instruments included in this https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/HMART-Parade-Uniform/24967870
>Oh hi yeah so can I have>UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHH
>>41802350indi made the current mall. it's hard to see that it's in there, so some ponies might not know.
>>41802354I made the mall in 2023, Indi made the mini mall in 2024, but as >>41802477 says, it's hard to see that it's in there so... iykyk?
>>41802477Since when has it been there? Some items indicate June 2024 but I really didn't notice it. Last time I checked many months ago most of the tower was empty and the last time I saw those escalators was when they were just sitting around in the open before the stadium was finished.But I love that there's always stuff to discover.
>>41802481It's really cool! Glad that it's there
>>41802467>imagine working in a literally abandoned mall for over 6 months while seeing all the people walking by the building not noticing you
>>41802628She has a coworker now
>>41802445>popen instrumentsSome have actually proposed introducing MIDI support in SL so you can use your MIDI controllers to play instruments or just use all the dozens of keys and knobs for controlling shit in SL but I doubt this will get anywhere

>>41803061You look fine in my viewer (eyes closed).As far as I know the blank stare happens on popens you see is when your viewer failed to load those popen's animations. The eyelid, eye, eyebrow etc states are just individual animation files that are running. If they can't load and run then you get that blank default fluoride stare.

>>41805910Depends if the clothing accentuates the butt or not
>>41805917don't gstrings accentuate the butt by design?
>>41805921Popens need to wear those strings because there's a ton of muscle in those buttocks.All covering pants just trap heat and make the butt sweaty. It is 100% functional clothing.

>>41806508>How do I get different colored eyelids?If you mean the eyelashes on your powy, easiest thing I can say is 'open the editor, find the eyelash layer, change color'. If you mean eyeshadow, that means getting a new texture for your head.>Any idea why my cutie mark keeps disappearing when I change outfits?Could be that you're putting on a texture from your local files, not your inventory, or your other 'fits use bodies that don't have the buttmark on.

Took forever and I haven't played in months but I think I'm finally pretty satisfied with my popen. Will probably buy some more accessories later too. Any suggestions for improvement?
>>41807730>Any suggestions for improvement?Consider a mane colour that doesn't look like just brown human hair transplanted onto a pony
>>41807730You look cute! If you're interested in dressing up your popen, you should experiment with more mane styles.There are plenty of freebie manes in the marketplace, including a pack with all of the mane6 manes and tails.

How much to you spend on average on your popen?Do you actually put real money into SL or are you just using splooder money to further equip your horse?
>>41808754I make shit, and anything I don't care about being my custom shit, I sell. Then I use the linden I make to buy myself shit other ponies make.I have, on occasion, slapped some real money into my SL account, but it wasn't usually for stuff for myself.
>>41808767Self-sufficient, huh? That sounds fucking awesome.
>>41808775learning blender is pretty easy, you know...
>>41808782>learning blender is pretty easy
>>41808782No fuck you we literally just had this discussion like a thread or two agoLearning to move vertices around in blender is easy, but learning to make stuff that actually looks good in blender is just as hard as learning how to make stuff that actually looks good with a pencil and a sheet of paper. If you don't have artistic skill in translating concepts and visuals onto an object on your screen or paper, you won't do shit in 3D anymore than you can in 2D
>>41808878Damn, these two actually work so well together
I loaf you powies
>>41808811I've actually known several people who picked up blender with no prior artistic skill, and now they're better at it than I am, as an artist who's been drawing for more than 2 decades, and 3D modeling for 1.
>>41808892We loaf you too, Cloudy.
>>41808898Can confirm this can happen. I geninuely think sculpting and modeling are easier art forms than 2D. Easier to see what you've fucked up in 3D. Of course being good at one helps with the other but there is something to this.
>>41808934Weighing in this discussion. 2D stuff like drawing/painting frustrates me to no end for some reason most of the time if I'm not doing some intentional "low quality" memeing or something. I get so frustrated that it's actually borderline painful. Meanwhile sculpting is relaxing to me even when my results aren't that great. For some reason my brain thinks I must to a perfect 2D artist without practicing but then laughs at me when I try and fail. Sculpting just works for me without any fuckery in my head. Either I get something neat in the end or I don't. I don't know why this is and I wish I could just go for it, drawing in total serenity like I can with sculpting.
>>41808970ALSO, when I draw digitally I often automatically revert to some "sculpting" techniques like using the liquify brush to nudge shapes into position or into shape like I'd do in sculpting instead of redrawing those lines.
>>41808934I first tried sculpting when I was in high school bc I needed the credit and I'd already taken all the 2D art courses we had then, and I was AWFUL at it. I basically convinced myself that 3D art was not for me and didn't try until years and years later when I first picked up blender. And I still sucked. It took me a long LONG time to get to where I am now, and that was with a LOT of 2D art experience behind me.
Why is booping so powerful?When someone boops my horse I actually feel joy. But why? Technically not a lot is happening
>>41809146The serious answer? Almost everyone here is so hyper-starved for social interaction that a stranger taking a moment to click on them gives some comfort. It's sad really, so just don't think about it.
What's the Flubber thingken bout
>>41809157That really is the sad truth there. Which is probably why we have so many that are permanently online, virtual touch/cuddling is keeping them sane.
>>41809223>>41809157Well I guess there's truth to this. But at least in my case it helps me deal with RL better (more energy and even in shitty days I have something to look forward to) but I know how to balance out RL and SL more or less. I do know the virtual world could easily become a total trap if I completely abandoned RL for it which would be dangerous in multiple ways.
comfy stream right now
>>41809157dont like boop too much it feels cold and polite like a nohooves handshakei ALWAYS go for the slurp or the clean
>ponies talking about massive snow, snow storms and actual blizzards >mfw I look out of the window and see rain and a thermometer showing 11°C>mfw I have no face
>>41809146>>41809223>>41809157I don't think you have to be this cynical to understand boops. A boop is a missing middle ground in SL virtual spaces. An action somewhere between verbally acknowledging someone e.g. "Hi Rose" and just carrying on as though you didn't notice them arrive. In real spaces you can see someone, give them a nod or a smile, to let them know you see them without interrupting conversation. In SL our avatars stare blankly ahead (or automatically look at random avatars, if you have the HSH) and there is no natural indication that you have noticed a friend appear. It takes a little effort to focus and click the right spot on their nose, works at a moderate distance, and fills in that little gap in social interaction that gives you that feeling of acknowledgement and connection that you'd get almost without thinking about it in RL or more expressive systems like VRChat.
>>41802358The piano became really important for me too. The music selection on it is incredibly nice. Big feels.

Been considering getting back into popens after like a year or 2 since I last played since it sounds like theres a lot of new popens and content added, but if I do that I kinda wanna alter the mane and tail on my popen to have the gradient and cutiemark she canonically has. Is there a way to implement that without having to spend my hard-saved popenbux?
>>41809218Sexo
>>41811017if its just a texture mod many will just give away linden for that or upload the textures for youhell ill give you 400 now i dont care its pretend funny money
>>41810461>impromptu popen musicanon that's about as equestrian as getting your cutie mark
>>41811027>400 now i dont care its pretend funny moneythat's 1 real life burger $
>>41811017>Gradients on the mane/tailMost mane/tail styles aren't built with gradients in mind, but there are a couple of them out there on the market. Can't recall the designer who makes them, unfortunately, so you'll have to ask around.>Custom CutiemarkYes. So long as you have a 128x128, 256x256, 512x512, or 1024x1024 .png of your OC's mark with a transparent background, you can import it into SL as a texture for like 10L$. The higher the resolution, the better then quality.Afterwards, highlight the flank of your mare/stallion via the Edit Menu, and apply it through said menu's texture panel. Be sure to tick the "Show Highlights" option in said menu to be 100% sure of where you're aiming, since you want to see a little box appear on your character's flank before applying anything. You'll need to do this twice (one for each side), and you'll also likely need to invert the horizontal offset for one of them (also in the Edit Menu's texture panel) if the mark appears backwards on the model.Despite sounding complex, it's pretty straightforward once you've done it once or twice. Don't use the default Customization HUD to do it, that thing is a total crapshoot and often more trouble than it's worth.
>>41811017>>41811124>manes aren't made with gradients in mindLiterally just slap a gradient hair texture onto it I don't see the complication
>>41811124one of the best pony gifs ever
>>41811124>The higher the resolution, the better then quality.And the higher the PAIN. Cutiemarks do not have to be full resolution 1024x1024. 512 is enough. Everyone is just using max resolution for literally everything and that's why everything runs like ass and takes ages to load.
>>41810895>>41810879can you hide the thong on the new one and just use it as a sweater? hard to tell from the pictures
>>41811027shit man that sounds pretty sweet, need me to just advertise in the normalpeople groupchat?Still not clear on how to snap textures onto individual mane parts, I'm still running on the Cunning Curls.
>>41810461Sort of. Come spring time, I want to play music through my avatar when the opportunity is right and I’m doing stuff related to the music.
>>41811147can I literally just snap this onto my popen's mane if I want my popen's mane and tail to have the shift to the lighter color towards the end like frosted tips or would I have to make individual tweaks if I have a certain start-point for each strand in mind?
>>41811357you could just use that texture and be good to go. you might need to adjust the position or stretch it so it isn't tiled but you can do that for free while editing stuff
>>41811357>>41811417You'll definitely have to tweak the position of gradient start and gradient end. Do local textures first to test, overwriting the file automatically should update the texture in game.I also recommend using the hair texture as a base that comes with popen.If you need a hoof, let me know.t. Fire gradient maned pegasus
>>41811357Yeah on most manes it will work just fine. You may have to adjust it slightly.
>>41811417>>41811737>>41811767I think that after a good and long period of wrestling with the gradient and some layers for it in csp I have it working rightDamn I forgot how comfy this game is
Good night.
>>41811791Looks pretty good, yeah.
>>41811816That's not Tundral though.
>>41811791Nice, but I hope you made the texture smaller cause it doesn't need to be 1000x1000 for something as simple as that.Try to keep things efficient, the game runs poorly enough as it is.
>>41811874Sometimes I think popens are too optimized. Having one 1024x texture for the entire body looks pretty bad and blurry if you have anything with detail or hard edges
>>41812067I'm going to re-UV the popen so that each body section is its own texture, so you can have 8+ 1024 or 2048 textures on your body for maximum detailI think that's how the aesthetic body was done, or some other normie body, and everyone hates making textures for it

>>41812413and they shouldnt! :)

>>41812558>complexity 8.809Now that's pretty low.How low can you go while still being recognizably popen?
>>41812571The flatfuck ponies are probably the lowest you could possibly go, especially if you just took a screenshot of your popen to put on there

>>41813281I assume rule 5
Anon filleh party this Friday?
>>41813232please unban me
Balti start to ban tourists again.
>>41813281>>418133041 I'm not the person who banned you, the literal sim owner did, and his word goes over anyone else's so good fucking luck2 you're a tourist. rule 5 is being a tourist. grats.
>>41813377Can I at least get a ban appeal?
>>41813394go through the proper steps, and maybe
>>41813398what are the proper steps?
>>41813404first you have sex with rarapony
>>41813423Ok
>>41813423How I think she blocked me
>>41813479Apparently you're so bad in bed that she blocked you.
If you guys were more consistent, faster and not let "tourists" settle in for weeks or even literal months it wouldn't be such a fucking act every time.Way too often you let it slip and kick them out right when they already got used to the place or even made friends instead of making things clear from the start.
>>41813516Letting someone stay long enough to make some friends and then banning them is just cruel
>>41813516This, you can't just ban them for being tourists after they've already been to the sim for over a month
>>41813516Natural consequence of 80% of the mod team sitting in private parcels whenever they're even online.
>>41813516>>41813519>>41813521I complained about blupon from the start because he was so fucking obviously a tourist but you fuckers cried and went "nooo leave him alone he's innocent!!!"
I enjoy this creature
>>41813519>>41813521in my opinion there should be a rule that goes something like this:>if jannies fail to act on a tourist after 1 months they officially fucked up and the tourist got naturalized. the tourist rule doesn't apply anymore and the person can only get banned at this point when they do any of the other rule violations
We went for a cruise and ended up at the fun fair in Potter. Some fun was indeed had here.
>>41813556Wtf for a second I thought rose went bat
>>41813555I do find it kind of funny that I think most anons who were actually willing to harrass every single newcomer every single time they showed up, all got banned themselves for other rule violations
>>41813538this thing is next on the chopping block
>>41813570I actually highly doubt that
there are jannies that are too placid when it comes to dealing with tourists dont want to hurt their feelings some that do nothing at all but sit in private places off sim or do nothing at all but sit
I've been here well over a year now, got to know a lot of people, make friends and have a relatively good time and cause no issues. Unfortunately I got banned too with Blupon
>>41813555>>41813567it's funny how you haven't read the rules5. Tourist Control: As stated at the beginning of this document, the rules above are liable to be applied more harshly towards tourists. However, the following rule is to be applied only to them. To clarify, a 'Tourist' is anyone who is not active in the thread, did not come from the thread, and has not assimilated into the sim culture. 'Assimilation' is determined at the gumption of the public and jannies, but generally refers to any former-tourist who has integrated into /mlp/ culture and either become a newfag on the board or would otherwise not be considered a tourist at a glance without already knowing that they were.
>>41813572how, it's one of the most obvious tourists I ever seen
im banned from baltimare for being an "alt" and ban appealing didnt work out. just play the game, second life is fun when you can be a pony and explore. the only issue i have is that there are no chill pony hangouts free of furry hybrid ponies with fetish autism. but tbdesu i dont really care much about socializing so exploring, dressing up my mare, and taking pictures is all i do. make the most of it ^:)
>>41813581We have several tourists that I have invited over time and none of them stand out as such, "looking" like a tourist means absolutely nothingyou'll never know who they are or who I am :)
>>41813581hi lonely
>>41813538He's very cute, I like that creature too.He won't get banned, he makes the jannies horny
>>41813582alts are allowed unless you were sploder alting, or accused of being an RV alt/someone else who was banned, which most false accusations of that I saw cleared up pretty quickname drop?
>>41813521At that point it's not banning tourists, it's deporting immigrants.
>>41813582>there are no chill pony hangouts free of furry hybrid ponies with fetish autism.Not even Baltimare.
>>41813615we're all autists and furries here <3
>>41813599yea i was banned for being an RV alt, i was also banned from aries bluff for the same reason but i cleared it up with the owner after turning on voice chat. my username and the fact i changed display names was a red flag? what ever lmao lol>>41813615hm typical i guess
>>41813266this
>>41813521being a long time user has never been a shield against being banned.
>lolol I posted it againYou realize that copypasta is a laughing stock right?
>>41813585Hi rara
>>41813762incorrecto, fair point tho
So ... Anon filleh party this Friday?
>>41813840We just had one
>from the board>touristsigh
If you haven't changed Rarapony at a convention it's hard to say if you're a tourist or not.
>>41813538I really, really fucking don't
if i was a mod i'd have banned barky, spot, several hollowhearts day oneand id force a few ponies to stop looking so ugly (bad colors/designs)i gen didn't know blue so i have no idea what happened today that warranted it but they probably just did something especially stand out? either way now like some other anons have said it was too late and some got attached to the creature and now it's been put in the backyard and shot, cruel
Go. To. Cloudsdale.
>>41813926if its their design, they might be willing to take criticismif it's their personality, I don't understand, they're actually real nice
>>41813932>I'm going to ban people who took part in creating the avatar that helped make this community
>>41813940>if its their design, they might be willing to take criticismmy criticism is don't be a fucking goat or creature thingy whatever it is. it's that simple. lose the creature nose and don't have nigger dread looking hair
>>41813945unironically yesit's a decent model but several of the people involved are something else but that's just my opinion so it's not a huge dealalso the quality of hmart shit is quite varied... in general>>41813938ok, landmark? i'm in the group but don't even know where the sim is kek
>>41813556Is that rose as a changeling wtf
>>41813955>but don't even know where the sim isopen the fucking map holy shit
>>41813958yeah im retarded i also see it in the OP. never mind
a reminder https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/41747341/#41752415this was pretty early on when blupon came around, and response was mainly "leave him alone!"like damn man, yall do really love your coached tourists
>>41813963everytime a tourist gets banned they come to the thread to post for the first time to cry about being banned like it was wrongful. like clockwork
>err sweatie if you don't like tourists maybe you should go to cloudsdale?
>>41813989cludsdale is literally empty all the time it doesnt even matter
>>41813989>Ree we don't like how Balti is *shits and pisses in public*>We'll make our own place that's the way we want it!>(Seldom actually goes there)>Uh...>...Ree we don't like how Balti is *shits and pisses in public*FTFY
>>41813932Honestly barky looks ugly but over time I've come to think he seems pretty based. He's extremely autistic but in a good way, the kind of autism that makes you not a normie and actually alright to be around, even if you don't like hanging out with at least he isn't going to be annoying (at least for me)
>>41814004an attachment has been formed...fair though again like i can't be a mod because i'd be too cruel. i just hate their avatars too much
What even happens in Cloudsdale? Is it a sekret harem sim? No access there
>>41813932Please consider suicide.Thank you
>>41814023its sky line's personal fuck sim now
>>41814029did the build ever get finished at least
>>41814036not after sky and dusty fell out with each other
>>41814027i have but i gen don't know what i said that was wrongtake it all with a grain of salt i just really don't like their avatars/personalities
>>41813615
>>41814029Must not have many to even fuck, haven't seen that pony around in a long time
>>41814050Barky is a good pony, I have no idea what you find so unpleasant about him. Try talking to him, or something? I was joking about suicide, don't do that. Be kinder, pony. One small good deed can change the world for the better. Your world or someone else's.
You wait too long to ban someone and people say you should've did that when they showed upYou ban someone when they show up and you're being too hasty with your judgement You can't win with these tourist chasers
HOP IN>>41814128>>41814128>>41814128
>>41814123i just dont like their pony that's it. it stands out and i don't know why he gets a pass and others don'tand i am very nice in sim i just like to let out my anger here ehehe
>>41813521You can even ban tourists after two years if they fuck the foid you're obsessed with
