I think Metal is just a silly lil guy.

>>43013378
Same actually.
We had whole other beasts to deal with in the past and while Metal drops some stupid shit every now and then it's harmless and to be honest often even entertaining. Not everything he says is dumb and in some cases there are actually pleasing conversations and moments when I actually agreed with him.
He's also open about having issues like dealing with bipolar disorder and schizo tendencies and doesn't deny having it in a smug manner. Also, he never tried to (actually) piss me off/hurt me or anything. He kinda just exists and has some schizo rambling moments. I for one just hope his conditions won't get worse and that he maybe will find ways to fix many of his issues or learn how to deal with them better (like his lack of sleep, which there are ways to fix).

I think Metal is a deerie

>>43013537

Hello. My sense of humor has gotten too advanced and people must think that I'm always totally sincere in what I'm saying.
Half of everything I say is mostly just to amuse myself. I'm not even thinking about what other people's reactions are and I typically don't care, it's just a sort of outlet for me. I like to say ridiculous things because its funny. If this has managed to offend or annoy you at some point or another I'm sorry you felt that way anon.

Maybe you could also walk up to me, and give me a nice smooch on the lips? We could talk about it. I love you anon. Like bros are bros.

Metal, this is what's offputting about you. You seem to have some kind of main character syndrome and look/talk down to others for your amusement. I never for a second thought you were being serious when you say forced edgy shit.

>Maybe you could also walk up to me, and give me a nice smooch on the lips? We could talk about it. I love you anon. Like bros are bros.
This is more reasonable. Show this side of you more often.

not him and i'm not a big fan of that either but anon you have to realize that this is second life and to many it's actually a game where they slip into a role of a character. i myself rather enjoy being me but yeah, there are definitely people who like to play as someone else.

>>43013568

>>43013628
it's like you didn't even read what he just said or chose to ignore the relevant parts

>>43013634
anon, not caring about what people think about what you say isn't "main character syndrome" OR looking down on them, it's fucking normal
especially when what you say is just random silly shit spewed because funny

>>43013644
You're forgetting most of the retards on here are terminally online neets that cant socially interact irl

>>43013568
So, you just like to spout random nonsense because it's funny? I mean, I find it funny and always had a feeling you were just memeing or whatever.

I would prefer it if people who have issues with me personally DM'd me and discussed this instead of making it a thread issue.
This is an interpersonal thing which I am perfectly willing to discuss with you if you just approach me.

I'm talking about a filter or something like that which you can apply only to yourself in the game.

How would (You) bring back the spirit of the board on sim?

>>43013729
>>43013733
it's not my webm, just one I saved because it's me in it

>>43013740
What spirit? The /mlp/ has been quite depressing for years now.
If you want the spirit of the old days:

>get more involved and bring in creative ideas for things to do in the place
History has shown over and over again that when ponies come up with an event, fun items or any games to play together the fun had been doubled.

If you're a newfag don't be afraid to create an event. Most really are just lurking and waiting for someone else to do something fun but don't realize that nothing will happen if no one actually makes the fun happen. LITERALLY one of those be the change kinda situations.

>>43013729
You mean the windlight setting (sky texture, light, atmosphere etc)?
That's just one of those I cooked up back then and keep editing according to the situation at hoof

>>43013784
It looks nice. Is there any way I can get these settings from you?

>>43013788
Thanks! Not online right now and gotta see if I still have that one somewhere.
But the main ingredients are just relatively thick haze and relatively muted colors.
I like to use haze extensively to get a better illusion of depth. Definitely recommend to play around with windlight settings, it really completely changes how scenes look

>>43013830
When the time comes, we can meet if you're online. By the way, I also wanted to ask what program you use to get such a soft picture in the game?

>>43013841
I suspect it's Black Dragon

>>43013841
Of course!
Well, kek... I've been criticized for laying down the lensblur too much but I just really like separation from the background. My biggest issue is that it's a huge pain in the but to QUICKLY get the dof just right in Firestorm. In the end my stuff turns out a bit too blurry most of the time or in couple pics one of the character is a bit less sharp than the other (even though sometimes it's intentional since in some pics just one character is my focus of the story).

It's just really shallow depth of field and the rest is WEBM file compression doing the rest I guess. Check out the DOF settings and play around with them. Low f-number for a start and go from there.
>>43013843
Nop, just Firestorm

Popens keep saying my st*llion looks gay. Should I change his colors?

>>43013848
I'm more used to Alchemy because it has a more intuitive interface than where you are. I'm just not used to the one there...

>>43013918
Is he not supposed to look or be gay?

>>43013947
Neither. I felt I should make a more 'normal' popen, no marecock, no nonsense kind of thing but it is clear that I am in fact failing at it.

>>43013918
Honestly anon I think making a PINK stallion normal, and not gay, is a very hard sell. It's not impossible but you picked extra hard mode, literally just do anything else.
The mane also looks fuckcoltish. Pick a mane that's more rough and not a wavy curly faggot style.
I dunno about the beret. It either makes you look like a hipster (and therefore gay) or you have to pull off the boomer grandpa style.
Also I can't quite tell from this angle but I think your ass may be fat? Do not make a fucking obese stallion unless you want to be a fetish object. I hope that's just a trick of the perspective and not actually your understanding of a "normal stallion".
Also I think you may be using the more feminine version of the alternate stallion snout, try the v2 or whatever the slightly squarer one is.
Lastly drop the half-lidded gaze, you're not projecting any heterosexuality by having an expression halfway between bedroom eyes and bratty bottom I-need-correction-fuck-my-ass-right-now eyes.

>>43013962
I don't think the colors are gay, but I do think they lacking in contrast. He's also too fleshy looking if that makes sense. As if there is no coat at all.

>>43013962
>failing at it.
that's great because while you're struggling you're learning new things about designing. you never learn while within your comfort zone.
he's looking good but it's true, also gay. to be fair though it's incredibly hard to not look gay as an open pony stallion.

>>43013981

So, lemme recap;
Pale/pastel colors= GAY
Long hair/ponytail/hairbun = GAY

>>43014272
Does that mean R*wan had the peak stallion characteristics...

>>43014272
This, yes. If you want to make a masculine looking stallion he has to look a bit rough.

>>43014185
You should take the old design and turn it into a mare.

>>43014185
>>43013918
Pony is an inherently cutesy thing. Pastels and big, expressive eyes and neotenous heads and small mouths are just the style. You aren't going to escape from that without also betraying the stuff that feels "pony" in the first place.
If you stay on the pony aesthetic at all, it's going to look a little gay. Even if not inherently feminine-looking, people will still get gay vibes from it, because all stallion interest is associated with gayness in this fandom.
The ones who defeat the gay allegations are usually the ones who do so by their personalities.

>>43014323
>make stallion
>get called gay
>remake the stallion
>still gay
>make mare instead
>no longer gay
And thus the game was rigged from the start...

it's only gay if balls are touching

time to drop a trvthnuke for /opg/fags
>If you play as a mare OC, you are GAY because you have to act indirectly and think feminine at minimum
>If you play as a stallion OC, you are NOT GAY because you can act as yourself or a man
>If you play as a female character from the show, you are NOT GAY because you're just following a already established personality and don't have to spend excessive time pondering on the character's female personality or actions.
This'll clear everything up, people who make a mare OC just to go full self-serving autoerotic fetishism are 100% trannies, people who make a mare OC and get swept up into designing their personality or behaviour are 65% tranny, people who make a mare OC and not act like a mare are 30% tranny.

>>43014397

don't trannies scream up and down that it's not a fetish but "who they are" or some shit, I don't really see the connection

Nice bait. Here's your (You).

women playing as stallion is hot and works for hind, the stay at home mom of 4

>>43014397
The reason stallions get called gay is because most people on SL create avatars for what they want to see, not what they want to be.

>>43014397
You don't have to do anything. There is no requirement to RP. You in no way have to act feminine if you have a mare OC, and several people do not despite having one.

That's normal. The place is ranking up near the top of pony sims so there are tons of people trying to get in that aren't /mlp/fags so a bit of asking is done when someone new shows up as attempt to filter most out
