I'm going to be frank I was kind of "meh" on the whole experience and just playing along for the hell of it, but Cyrano's little "oops, you're all actually banned guess you hosed yourselves lol radium" twist was legitimately hilarious.

I love that all that's needed to make a "something hosed up in the code" prank perfectly believable is to blame it on Radium.

It's one of the "legendary" whiskies. I got the cheapest bottle which still set me back 60 €. It was good.
More expensive bottles can cost thousands or tens of thousands. It's ridiculous. I'm not rich, I just like to enjoy a good whisky while eating dark chocolate, having it melt on my tongue, soaking in the bitterness and the sweetness. And then taking a sip from my Glencairn full of the Whisky of my choice... MMmmMMh

Why is that a thing? And why is it available in Russian, English, Chinese, Polish, and German?

The idea of this game originates from Fallout: Equestria book

If you want to learn more about history of this world, the Great War and a following apocalypse, you should familiarize yourself with Fallout: Equestria.

:cripes: Oh dear lord it goes deeper than I thought. It’s based off a 1,000+ page fanfiction.

Why would you do that to yourself? And then seek to make another goon suffer in tandem?

Yes. Yes. The devotion and work fans put into their works is one of my favorite things about humans. Even if they pick the weirdest fandoms to write for.

That's actually one of the weird spinoffs of the original Fallout: Equestria.

Yes, there are spinoffs.

Yes, most of them are even longer than the original.

Yes, most of them go for even more grimdark.

Yeah, if I had half the creativity and passion some of these dedicated fandom people have, I would at the very least get LP updates done a whole lot quicker.

I read a little bit of the original out of morbid curiosity a few years ago and my favorite thing about the MLP fandom is how the show introduced a zebra character as an analogue for not judging people based on their appearance, and the bronies loved to have zebra pony race wars in their fanfic.

to be fair it's apparently a hilariously bad racial caricature in the show too so it's not like it's based on nothing

also I've lost track of why this is in the sandcastle

I'm thinking for my first ever Let's Play, I'd like to do a screenshot LP of Roller Coaster Tycoon scenarios since I have a lot I could possibly talk about between: Game mechanics, real world examples, and experience currently working at a major theme park which could include all kind of fun terrible customer stories. It could potentially extend to the sequels as well with 2 and 3.

Once I finish my playthrough of GTA4 that I've been doing, I can do the first scenario and write up a sample post on the off-site.

Sounds like it'd work out well! It's a subject you know well and it's not a 40 - 60 hour soul-crushing JRPG, so it should be a great starting point to pick up LPing from. If there's any technical issues you have making it, just ask in the Tech Support Fort and someone should answer it quite readily. When you've got it made, put it up in the Sandcastle and the folks there will help you if there's any issues with it.

Here's a sample of the first scenario. Since it is the first scenario, and the first appearance of a bunch of mechanics, it is a bit explanation heavy.

https://lpix.org/sslptest/index.php?id=156414

My idea is to try to put in a scenario update at least once or twice a week, with fun updates on ride history and background in between.

I always thought it peculiar how these rollercoaster games do these calculations for coaster intensity, etc., maybe I should look into their code sometime.
