/mlpol/ - My Little Politics

What is up, my dudes?

It's a bit of a late scramble this week, so I'll be popping some longer videos. There are two Lotus Eater videos here talking about recent political nonsense, and a 40k audio drama: The Death Of Hope. We'll see what happens later.

I would like to get a new series started tonight, but might not be able to get things up and running so far.

I'm going with Pony Pixel Art for my posts this week.

Thank you all for a great time.

The first of March, and the first of a new series. This might be a minor coincidence, but I still think it's nice.

I hope your weeks were enjoyable. It's been a very mild winter in my area this year, which has been nice on my end.

Playlist highlights of the week are “Project: UCRONIN ~ Full Short Film [My Little Pony Infection AU]” published on FunnyK16, a Cosmonaut Pony remix / cover PMV, a Valentines Special production by Scribbler that I probably should put in while people remember Valentine's Day, a Little Miss Rarity, and a general reminder that I am adding new items to the stream night playlist far faster than I'm taking them out. There are more animations and PMVs in here than I expected there to be.

The series I've picked for our next run is well made. It's an interesting couple of twists on an old concept with a neat art style and great character work in a setting that feels extremely grounded. This is more of a sober series, but it's got enough action going on that I don't think anyone will be disappointed. I remember it having a great soundtrack, but that might be rosy memories. It's one of those series' that gets “vibe” really, really well. The shots and characters have time to breathe. The series itself is only 12 episodes (and an OVA now, too? Neat.), so it shouldn't overstay it's welcome.

To those who've seen the series before, please refrain from major spoilers. This is a vibe series. Let it have it's moments. That includes confirming or denying

Sadly, this will be on Dub mode until I can spend the focus and time on getting livestreaming up and running. I don't want to risk being late because I'm screwing with something unnecessary. I'll mess with stuff after I get the night ready to go the quick and dirty way.

Out of respect to the above Anon, Pony of the Week is Cadance being silly.

Hello all, sorry I'm late. Here is tonight's movie schedule:

Looney Tunes: Polar Pals
The Honeymooners: On Stage

Gladiator (2000)
This movie is historically preposterous but a good movie nonetheless.

Poni:
S9 eps 15 and 16

Gargoyl:
S2 eps 4 and 5

Hi guys. I've been trying to think of ways to bring a bit more /oil/ into the watch party / movie night.

Maybe I could start opening up the room on Thursdays for people to bring political videos jn to watch. A kind of "Thinking Thursdays" before the "Funtime Fridays".

The good vibes of the movie night are important, so the discussion from some of the political stuff happening could interfere with that.

I'm thinking of leaving these a bit unstructured to start with, and seeing where things go. There are 10-20 minutes YouTube videos and there are also multi hour long documentaries that are good education. We'll figure the format out as we go.

Remember, if you want to easily link video files, it should either be on a major streaming site, or a direct link to the video file, ideally in .MP4 format, since I don't think CyTube does softsubs that well.

Also, CyTube has had an increase in operation costs, so if anyone is in a position to toss a few coins into the hat to keep the site running, that'd be something to consider.

>I've been trying to think of ways to bring a bit more /oil/ into the watch party / movie night.
I misread this as "bring a bit more loli". Also, nice devil trips.

>>371669
>/oil/ instead of /pol/.
Autocorrect has fucked me again.

Phoneposting has it's issues.

>>371671
>/pol/
Okay, that makes a lot more sense then. I was wondering what /oil/ was, I just assumed it was one of those hyper-specific generals on /mlp/

Okay, guys, let's try this out: Thinking Thursdays (Name Pending)
Pony theme will always be Aryanne, and I'll try to skew things somewhat towards open playlist night, but I can't commit too much to the format.

I'll cue up relatively mainstream professional youtubers who are just awkward enough that you trust that they're doing this themselves, and we'll see where things go.

Up this week are
-videos on something happening to one of the major sources of Wokeness in videogames over the last ten years, a company named something like Sweet Baby Inc
-Lotus Eaters talking about increasing savagery in the west, a day or two before a very bad family homicide in Canada.
-Other stuff.

I'm starting this because I think there might be a need for a place for more relaxed discussion, knowing that the years of paradigm shifts you had to undertake as you learned more about the world doesn't need to be artificially tossed into people's minds like they're asking for the unlock code for a tablet or phone.

I'm not sure what to expect from this.

Alrighty, folks, it's that time again. Here is tonight's movie schedule:

Merrie Melodies: Old Glory
The Honeymooners: Opportunity Knocks, But...

Double Indemnity (1944)
It's been awhile since we've done an old-timey classic, and this is a good one. One of our regulars also gave me a list of movies he'd like to have shown, and if I can track some of them down, next week we will do one of those

Poni:
S9 eps 19 and 20

Gargle:
S2 eps 6 and 7

Presumably we'll be doing the usual preshow this week, movies will begin at the usual time. wasn't able to make it for Thinking Thursdays yesterday, but hopefully it went okay.

Not sure where Flappy is today or if the prestream is still happening, but it looks like the playlist from yesterday is still running if anyone wants to come in and hang out.

https://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactyl
https://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactyl
https://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactyl

If there is no prestream, I will go ahead and start my portion of the stream roughly one hour from the time of this post, 6:00 PM PST, 9:00 PM EST.

Look at my proposals For the next movie nights

Thinking Thursday

Hi guys, the room is open, and so is the playlist. Feel free to add whatever news you want to discuss. The Sweet Inc. story seems to have developed a bit more.

I have some stuff I have to take care of, so the playlist is still last week's list, and I won't be there for a while. Maybe 30-45 minutes.

Stream Night Once Again!!

With a bit of the weirdness of the last week or two out of the way, we have a normal enough week this time!

I hope you all got some good sunshine and time outdoors this week!

Messing with the streaming settings hasn't been done yet, so it's another week of dub!Grimgar. These are important episodes, so we'll see if we want to re-watch them in Sub form later. Remember, these guys aren't the A-team, they're the leftovers of the group of people teleported over.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Grimgar: Of Fantasy and Ash

Episode 03 - Are Goblin Pouches Filled with Our Dreams?
Haruhiro and his friends continue to hunt goblins and gradually become used to their new world and learn to fight as a unit.

Episode 04 - Sky Dancing with Ash
Becoming more confident, the group starts to hunt goblins in larger numbers, but when they encounter a group too powerful for them to defeat they retreat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pony of the Week is Scootaloo.

See you in the stream room!

Hello all, here is tonight's movie schedule:

Looney Tunes: Wise Quacks
The Honeymooners: Unconventional Behavior

Robot and Frank (2012)
Was going to show Murder Party (requested), but the completely legal acquisition of this title hasn't finished yet. However this is a good movie that I've been wanting to show for some time now, I think everyone will enjoy it.

Hoerjhes:
S9 eps 21 and 22

Garhangaogamne:
S2 eps 8 and 9

>>371861

The cutest pone I've seen in a long time.

Would you be interested in watching the football movie "Gus"?

>>371876
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gus_(1976_film)
If this is the movie you're talking about then yes, this sounds absolutely delightful.

>>371880
Whoops, forgot capcode. Also, I'm Lithuanian now.

Regarding tonight's Thinking Thursday, I have plans, so I won't be able to attend. I'll make sure the playlist is open so people can pop stuff in.

There have been some developments in the Sweet baby inc situation such that it's serving as another onboarding point for some of the head-in-the-sand types to start to notice that woke nonsense isn't just mysteriously happening.

Looks like I was in enough of a rush that I forgot to open the playlist. Oops.

I know what day it is, you know what day it is, let's get these biscuits buttered.

I wanted to make this night a bit of a variety hour. We have several comic dubs, PMVs, and another update on that non-commercial VR fan project. There's multiple ponies, pony behaviours, and the map is a nighttime equestria map. There's more of this sort of content than music.

Nigel and Marmalade are used as bumpers in the latter portion of the night, and we've got a total of about four and a half minutes of an animatic of a 40k fight scene.

In Grimgar, well... We finally made it past the major event, so now our group of leftovers have to deal with the fallout, just as they thought they were starting to get better. Take your time and get immersed, if you can.

I'll try to stream on a lower bit rate from a smaller window or something. I think I have an internet upgrade coming up soon, so the next time I stream this it should hopefully go smoother.

I've decided that the Pony Theme of the week is “Fantasy”, and have therefore picked images from the Ponerpics Fantasy Community Collab 2024. Thanks to everyone who contributed to that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Grimgar: Of Fantasy and Ash

Episode 05 - Crying Doesn't Mean You're Weak. Enduring Doesn't Mean You're Strong
The group is despondent after Manato's death and funeral. The boys decide that they cannot proceed without a priest in the party and, with Haruhiro acting as spokesman, recruit Mary.

Episode 06 - Her Circumstances
Haruhiro and Yume discuss Merry's coldness and convince the rest of the group to try to make Merry welcome, leading to internal disagreement.

Now that that's out of the way, the room is ready. Feel free to drop in.

>>372473
Anyway, the stream just now went kaput.
Until the next week so.

>>372473
The stream went up again.
https://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactyl

Sorry for the technical difficulties folks, we'll rewatch the second episode of Gargoyles next week. Thanks to everyone who came to the stream, see you all next time.

Hello. I hope your eyes aren't still burning from the glorious eclipse event that happened this past Monday.

In respect to that, I'm making Luna (and Celestia too, I guess) the Pony/Ponies of the week.

Getting the other chunk of the playlist written up now. I'll get the room open and running in the meantime.

https://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactyl
https://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactyl
https://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactyl

Two Fridays later, we're back to regular pre-stream programming. Many thanks to OccultFacade for taking over for the nights.

I hope you enjoyed your time during the eclipse. If you couldn't look at the sun directly, then I hope you enjoyed looking at the area around you outside to see the altered lighting.

On the playlist for the night, I popped in a few recent releases, some older songs from the Winter Rose chanel, and a short animation on it. I'll see about adding some Celestia/Luna content at the end.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Grimgar: Of Fantasy and Ash

Episode 07 - They Were Called Goblin Slayers
Having learned of Merry's past (and how similar it is to what they have experienced with Manato), Haruhiro and the group decide to continue befriending Mary, although some of them are still unsure if it's possible.

Episode 08 - In My Memories with You
As the group continues to hunt goblins, they resolve to not let any more friends die. Having improved their skills, the party decides to hunt the group of goblins who killed Manato.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It'll take me a bit to pull the stream stuff up and do some other tinkering behind the scenes, but we're rolling right now, and we're basically good to go.

https://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactyl

Running a bit late tonight, I will have the schedule up momentarily.

Alrighty, folks. Here is tonight's (belated) movie schedule:

Merrie Melodies: Pilgrim Porky
The Honeymooners: Alice and the Blonde

The Untouchables (1987)

Ponie:
S1 ep 1 (neighponese)
G1 shorts: The End of Flutter Valley parts 1 and 2

Gragagon:
S2 eps 13, 14, 15 (2 new ones + the one from last week)

>>372648
I can't believe I missed it. Hope you had fun!

>>372650
Still it's streaming. Come over.

We are currently watching Lone Gunmen, the X Files spinoff series, we will likely be going for awhile. Feel free to drop in.

>>372652
It was fun! Until next time...

>>372652
It was cool how that first episode was about computers in cars being used to assassinate civilians who might be inconvenient to government or industry interests.

Just within the last couple of days, I saw a news story where something like this was mentioned as a possibility, and the ability of law enforcement to remotely drive any car that has a computer managing the engine in it was mentioned in the discussion.

Cars with a lane keep assist feature can steer themselves to a degree. Cruise control can force you into a certain speed.

We should watch The Naked Gun because OJ Simpson is dead.

Here we go again:

Looney Tunes: Porky's Poor Fish
The Honeymooners: The Bensonhurst Bomber

The Naked Gun (1988)
Suggested by >>372792 for reasons I have no power to refute.

My Kawaii Poner:
-S1e02
-G1 shorts: The End of Flutter Valley parts 3 and 4

Gargamel:
S2 eps 16 and 17

Movies will commence at the usual time following the prestream.

It's April 19th. Do you know what makes this day special? Because I don't. It IS right close to April 17th, the international bat(pony) appreciation day. It's also right before the famous 4/20.

Regarding the night's structure, I started by adding a ton of short (and short-ish) videos, and mixing it down with music and animations. Algo at All features prominently on the music selection of the night. There's a Scootertrix video, an MLP in real life video, and a couple of SFM animations that are 6 and 9 years old respectively. We have a couple of bat related shorts, a body swap skit, the Celestia episode of My Tiny Pony, and I popped the original Cupcakes HD in just because.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Grimgar: Of Fantasy and Ash
Refer to last week's post for details on the intended Grimgar episodes. Hopefully we have better access to joshwho.tv this week. If not, I'll search something out on YouTube.

Pony theme of the week is Batponies and Weed hoerses.

Welcome again, one and all, to the very good Watch Party That Doesn't Have A Consistent Name!

I hope the strangeness of this Spring weather has been treating you all well enough so far. It can be a bit below freezing in the morning, and you could be sweating in the afternoon. It can be hard to dress for this.

In news of the Culture War, GW tried to make Custodes (the super-er than space marines guys) suddenly “always” have had female members despite decades of their own lore saying that they were an all-male group. The fans don't like that, and TL;DR it looks like the company might possibly die as a result. Remember, this is a setting with one of the cultural sayings of the human faction being “the rewards of tolerange are treachery and betrayal”. This feels like a significant enough pushback to draw morale from.

I neglected to put Arch's (formerly ArchWarhammer, who covers a lot of 40k content) April Fools day lore video in the last few streams, so I have it in this one. “Is Celestia Evil?”. Bumpers this week are sketches of a demented animation, and should be fun.

In Grimgar, we're following our crew into the underground to fight some kobolds. The episode descriptions make me think we might have seen these episodes already, so I'll post the episode descriptions for the next pair if it comes to that.

Without further ado, let's cover the Grimgar episodes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Grimgar: Of Fantasy and Ash

Episode 09 - How to Rest
Haruhiro and the group take a day off. During dinner, Haruhiro suggests that they change hunting grounds to the Siren Caves, citing increased goblin activity at their present hunting area.

Episode 10 - I'm Not Fit To Be a Leader
Haruhiro and the gang reach Siren Mines and defeat a few kobolds as they work their deeper into the caves. Haruhiro has doubts about his ability to act as their leader.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In respect of the Culture War news in 40k, and Arch's “Is Celestia Evil?” video, I'm making Warhammer 40k the pony theme of the week. We've got a bunch of images on PonerPics, so there'll be fodder for the chatroom.

The room is ready and running.
