@fallinwinter However, that kind of description would absolutely suit Trixie.

@fallinwinter It's the same with all the other smaller products. Things like "Catwoman's Catcycle City Chase" over and over again.

@fallinwinter The Batcave

@fallinwinter You're challenging yourself intellectually with the story. Most game difficulty levels tend to be what I categorise as "Stupid bullcherries" that gets in the way of the interesting part (The story). The kind of person I'm talking about wouldn't even be discussing this with me right now. They've have taken a copout and left. His views are different and they're making me uncomfortable! Better go back to Facebook/twitter/reddit where everyone agrees with me!

@fallinwinter There are supposedly intelligent people on this very site that would refer to your post as a "wall of text" and demand you summarise it for them. I think that puts the problem in a nutshell. Something I wanted to write about (I might put it on my blog) is that I feel that people tend to shy away from experiences that challenge them now. Our "on demand" culture has allowed everyone to manufacture, and essentially live inside bubbles of false-consensus whereby they will never be forced to deal with views that do not align with their own.
-
@fallinwinter Which leads me to the inorexible conclusion that a terribly large number of people aren't performing any of these things. Which explains a lot, about a lot of things, actually.
-
@fallinwinter Admittedly they're commonly regarded as "low" genres, but my favourites (Fantasy and Sci-Fi) frequently aren't set on Earth. This is just arguing semantics at this stage though. I feel like perhaps the difference between us is that you're getting this...self expansive stimulus from elsewhere?
-
@fallinwinter Actually, I was thinking ABOUT Persona as a concept as a way of elaborating how I feel. Reading things that challenge me is a way of becoming closer to understanding my true self. Sitting in a safe bubble of familliar places and people isn't going to get me closer to that ideal. That's why I feel like fanfiction is "worth less" than "From-Scratch" literature.
-
@fallinwinter Good question. I guess I'd have to see how different they actually are, and what the character and setting development are like to judge, but on the whole, it would, as far as I am concerned, be less stimulating than a clean-slate.
-
@fallinwinter Would you rather read Persona 4 Fanfiction or play Persona 5?
-
@fallinwinter It provides some, yes. I think given a couple of months and access to a professional editor, KKat could probably "de-ponyise" it sufficiently to get it published.
-
@fallinwinter I believe this is one of the primary reasons Fallout Equestria has garnered the praise that it has. It DOES force the reader to expand their horizons by removing the familliar Equestria and removing the mane 6 from the equation.
-
@fallinwinter Well, you don't have to digest the characters or the setting do you? You already know both of them intimately. There's no pushing of boundaries or expansion of horizons here. They're the same 6 ponies in the same comfortable safe world as always.
-
@fallinwinter I'm saying that it's...mostly without substance. Easy to digest. It is not going to provide meaningful intellectual challenge.
-
@fallinwinter as for what bought it on? I'm sick of hearing teenagers rave about My Little Dashie. The fact that it is the first time you've read something that made you cry says far more about you as a person than it does the story itself.
-
@fallinwinter Fanfiction is like...the literary equivelant of a ready meal. You get your characters and settings prepackaged. It's quick and easy, but it's not as fulfilling as a proper meal would be.
-
@fallinwinter EVERY TIME YOU DON'T READ YOU MAKE TWILIGHT SPARKLE CRY.
-
@fallinwinter I can be cynical when it's called for, but not to the extremes that some people go. For example, I felt that Mare-do-Well was the weakest episode of the new season so far, but I never thought of it as bad
-
@fallinwinter Yes, if I was looking to improve on my own work (which I always am of course), but this is something created by someone else, so I stick to my own opinions and don't feel the need to have them validated by others
-
@fallinwinter Unlike these downers, I left the cynic in me behind when I realized I was watching a show about Pastel Ponies made for young girls, and enjoying it XD
-
Goodnight @fallinwinter
-
@fallinwinter Goodnight to you too! Sleep well!
-
@fallinwinter Good night! :D
-
@fallinwinter I'm kind of timid in real life, so as much as I'd like to help in a situation like that I'd probably sit idly if it didn't directly affect me.
-
@fallinwinter Hey, if some little kid was picking on me, I'd probably hurt him, too.
-
@fallinwinter Oh right, I saw that video. I know this may sound mean, but the little kid had it coming.
-
@fallinwinter I don't know what that is, and I'm pretty sure I don't want to know.
-
@fallinwinter =D I WANT IT!!!!! *FANGIRL SQUEEL*
