(Gasps! Shock!) Unpopular Non-pony Opinion Thread!

@Fleur de Lis
Exactly. Definitely nuke Seattle. I’ll sacrifice Valve if it means the complete obliteration of Microsoft, Amazon, and Starbucks. Also, Mod Pizza is cringe so they can go as well.

@Twiface
No need to nuke tens of millions of people, we just need to seize the means of production

@UrbanMysticDee
Silicon Valley is like a giant crystal meth lab. Such production has no place in socialist construction and should be destroyed.

Besides, most of the related means of production are located in Asia, and could be repurposed after nuking the aforementioned cities.

@UrbanMysticDee
No, the means of production must be destroyed. The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race, and we must now return to tradition.

Also, if you ever went to the Bay Area, you too would question how many of those creatures even qualify as “people.”

@Fleur de Lis
Exactly.

@Twiface
>we must now return to tradition
I read that, and while tradition does have a place for sure, tradition is not the same everywhere. Humans aren’t all alike, and not just in regards to skin color, eye color, or height, mind you. Everything being better before the Industrial Revolution? Not completely true, actually. Ironic seeing as you posted that via a computer, complete with a CPU and GPU.
I know that San Francisco has a lot of idiotic NPC folks these days, so one-sided, soylent, and narcissistic, overall. It deserves more of a shattering destruction by Earthquake, Tsunami, or whatever than Seattle by a couple bits.

@Twiface
The criticism of civilisation, technology and industry has a lot of truth.
But there is no way to return to tradition. Civilised people will never be able to survive in nature.

Maybe civilised people will die out, and only the most primitive populations will remain.
Or maybe the dying civilisation will cause human extinction.
But either way, it’s over for us.

>@Fleur de Lis

Yes, there is a lot of truth to that, but which criticisms are valid and truthful? Why must civilization die out. Ted K., as right as he was about many things, such as the abuse of power by many technocratic headmasters, and certain aspects of environmental damage, I don’t think that all civilized people are incapable of learning to survive in nature. Plus, Ted became a tad overzealous in his bombing of people who were in newer tech. Not all progress is actually good, that’s for sure, but change is the law of the universe, ultimately.
>Its over for us.
Ok sure, be like that, Doomer. Say what you will, but I don’t think all or even most post industrial tech is evil or bad in and of itself. What usually matters most is how its implemented. There are other factors besides industrialization, mind you, and if you want, you could leave your city, town and become a hermit in the woods.

Just to be clear, I was making a prediction, not a moral judgement.

>”Ok sure, be like that, Doomer.”
I will.

Brother Bear wasn’t all that bad a movie, unlike Home on the Range.

the GBC’s official production run was TOO SHORT, as was the case for the PS Vita!

5th generation game consoles tier list (My take):
PS1>>Sega Saturn>>N64>3DO interactive Multiplayer>>>>Amiga CD32>>>Funtech Super A’Can>FM Towns Marty>>>NEC PC-FX>>Atari Jaguar>>Sega 32X>>Casio Loopy>>>Apple Bandai Pippin

4th gen game consoles tier list: Sega Genesis/Mega Drive>>SNES/Super Famicom Super Comboy in South Korea>>PC Engine/TG16>>Sega CD>Neo Geo>>>Neo Geo CD

@Absol95
I noticed that your 4th generation consoles list does not include the illustrious Philips CD-i. Where do you rank that?

It would be just above the Neo Geo CD.

Bane was actually the good guy in The Dark Knight Rises. An antihero certainly, but still the good guy.
All he wanted to do was bring justice to Gotham, and Batman had to ruin it.

Every copy of Super Mario 64, Elite Plus (for late 1980s-mid 1990s MS-DOS running PCs), Ballblazer (at least most versions, if not all), the Atari 2600 and Atari 8-bit ports of Tapper, and Alpha Waves for Atari ST, IBM PC, and Commodore Amiga are personalized. They adapt and change to the input in their own respective ways.

I usually find dragons to be boring.

I celebrate Derpibooru’s new AI content policy (which is really just e621’s AI content policy transposed onto a pony-exclusive site).

Keep that trash far away from me.

@Twiface
The only good thing those bastards have done in the last four years TBH

The “AI is going to MAKE US ALL JOBLESS HOBOS!” is largely hysteria and seething from a number of artists. CGI was said to have “no soul” back in the 1980s and early 1990s. They were wrong. Generative AI, like motion capture, is a rather new technology.

@Absol95
This.

AI art is great because it pisses off people I hate.

@UrbanMysticDee
Awful petty reasoning, but eh.

@Absol95
People dropping 40k at an art school making the same generic looking feet porn on photoshop think they’re Picasso and love to sniff their own farts and call you racist if you say that honor killing rape victims in Afghanistan is an abomination because “it’s their culture”. Those people can fuck themselves. I’ve put up with enough fat ugly man-hating feminist “artists” who make the same generic looking shitty porn to know that they deserve to be taken down several pegs and made to eat humble pie.

Have fun burying yourselves under mountains of thoughtlessly churned out neural network diarrhea while I relax in my curated walled garden.

Have fun clopping to ponies with seven hooves, losers.

@Twiface
OK elitist fuckwit. Sneer all you fucking want. I know Generative AI is not the same as Human drawn art, be it traditional art or digital stuff. Also, nice attempt at “pwning” me by selectively quoting my post about how some artists back in the 1980s claimed that “CGI has no soul”, and fuck your either-or dichtonomy, dipshit.
