/mlpol/ - My Little Politics

Also,... i can leak something inprogress for cupcakes :3

>>380479
There are four "full" videos to watch, with lengths from 22m to about an hour for the most recent movie.

I'm not sure what we'll be able to get through, but I think Tamers12345 usually has some kind of canon event. I'll put two of them in, and we'll see where we go from there.

Going directly from Tamers to Drawn Together might be a bit too much of that wacky stuff in a row to feel fresh. We'll tweak it as we go.

>>380480
Ooh, Cupcakes? Something to do with the Cupcakes thread?

>>380481
I sent it to Stix, if you can discretely reach him

Forgot pic again

The new playlist will be just a little bit longer. I've swapped to music from an earlier month, so the playlist playing right now will be something you haven't heard in this room in a while.

https://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactyl

Tonight: Tamers12345!

With Vanhoover stealing away some of our number, we're going to be spending more time in the CyTube room!

It's come to my attention that Tamers12345 has continued releasting a bewildering amount of animated content over the last while. Let's see how many we can get through by getting two of them in the night.
Balancing out the tone is going to be some history videos. I also might open up the room for a potluck. Time will tell!

We've got an hour of music, PMVs, and other animations. Two songs are related to Tamers, from Thrack and MelodyBrony.

Regarding the Drawn Togethe episode summaries... we've clearly got another week of episodes that don't match. Maybe next time I'll double check the episodes so I get the right one.

If we're interested in watching more Bob Hope movies, some of his best ones were the two Paleface movies, The Princess and the Pirate, Casanova's Big Night, and Fancy Pants (all set at various points in history). The Ghost Breakers is also one that's a spooky movie.

Poke poke poke

Movie schedule will be up momentarily, haven't heard anything from Flappy yet.

Here is tonight's program:

I should add that Jonah Hex animation into the next stream

So far tonight, I've put on a previous night's playlist. I'll work out whether to put in one of the Elements Of Justice series' or one of the other series' we discussed.

The end of the first month is here! It can be nice when events fall on important days, even if the reason that day is important isn't a huge deal in the grand scheme of things. I say, if something isn't important for outside reasons, then we can make it important ourselves!
That said, let's walk through what we have in store for the night.

I've put a bunch of music and PMVs in from a channel by the name “elameaa”. They seem to have been pretty productive over the last year and a bit, so let's give that content a looksie.
Interspersed between the music are a number of comedy skits from Chris and Jack, some animations from Mashed featuring Mario characters, and an eleven minute Nigel and Marmalade animation titled "Nigel and Marmalade: Rat City".
For the new show, I'm going to float out the idea of doing a Farscape episode every once in a while. It's a high production value sci-fi show that doesn't feel like anything else in the space, and it was produced by the Jim Henson company, who was behind The Muppets. We'll start with Episode 1. With Sci-Fi shows, it can sometimes take up to a season for it to find it's footing. I haven't done a full rewatch of this in a long time, so let's see how things go.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FarScape Episodes

Season 1 Episode 01 - Pilot
In the epic adventure of The Jim Henson Company’s Farscape, Astronaut John Crichton (Ben Browder) assumes he'll be home in time for dinner, but a freak accident during an experimental space mission catapults him across a thousand galaxies to an alien battlefield. Suddenly, he's trapped among alien creatures wielding deadly technology - a battle that 20th century sci-fi pop culture never prepared him for. Hunted by a merciless military race, Crichton begins his quest for home from a galaxy far, far away. Created by Rockne S. O'Bannon. Starring Ben Browder, Claudia Black, Anthony Simcoe, Lani John Tupu, Jonathan Hardy, Gigi Edgley, Wayne Pygram, Virginia Hey, Paul Goddard.
Season 1, episode 1. An interstellar mission to test his theory goes awry, and John Crichton finds himself stranded in unfamiliar territory after being sucked through a wormhole. Once his space craft gets pulled aboard a high-tech, massive ship, he joins the Moya crew, if a little unwillingly in the series premier of Farscape.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With Space being the theme of the day, let's use that for our pony imagery!

Sorry everyone, I've been having trouble sleeping the last few days, then today I just zonked out for like 16 hours and slept through movie night. We will resume our normal schedule next week.

I've got the playlist up and ready to go, just getting the writeup and Farscape episodes in now.

>>380961
It all worked out. I'm glad you got your shuteye, it sounds like you needed it.

>>381189
Thanks Flappy.

Also, everyone, we are back to our normal schedule for tonight. Movie program will be up shortly.

Music, shorts, PMVs, and a little variety on the side is how we're doing things this week.
On the music side, I've grabbed a few works from Seaclipse and SYLVVER, We have a stop motion animation from Crossline Animator (I'll put more of their stop-motion animations in in a future week), and a skit where al jokes interviews himself. Also, a short video walking through how we can use actual PDFs, Portable Document Format files to run Doom. It really can run on almost anything.

We ended up watching two episodes of Farscape last week instead of just the one, so we're on Episode 3 this week. Farscape is going to last 5 seasons, so I might space things out, depending on how things go. I know that if we watch Babylon 5 somehow, that I'd love to pair that with Duck Dodgers.

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

Farscape Episodes

Farscape S1E2 - I, E.T.
Season 1, episode 2. The crew learns that Peacekeepers have installed a Paddac beacon on Moya, and it needs to come off. In a hasty landing attempt, she ends up sinking into a swamp. In order to remove the beacon and take off once more, they need to find supplies to sedate the Leviathan and sever the beacon from her primary neural nexus in season 1, episode 2 of Farscape: "I, E.T."
[This was shown last week, and is being noted here for posterity]

Farscape S1E3 Exodus From Genesis
Season 1, episode 3. Moya is getting hot and Aeryn is struggling to handle it. The crew narrows the cause down to an infestation of bugs on the ship, but these aren't your simple cockroaches and they prove to be significantly more crafty foes than expected in season 1, episode 3 of Farscape; "Exodus From Genesis"

The pony of the week will be... Flutterdeer, since that's apparently a thing.

Evening gents, time for movies again. Here is tonight's program:

Merrie Melodies - The Hare-Brained Hypnotist
I Claudius - Ep 5, Some Justice

The Saint Valentine's Day Massacre (1967)
A light romantic comedy appropriate for V-Day.

Hearts and Hooves day is here! I mean, precisely. We're not a few days late, we're exactly on time! Ain't that nifty?

For the variety hour, I gathered many animations, theory videos, and songs. Most of them are themed around either Cadance or Chrysalis, or Hearts and Hooves ideas in general. Aside from those, the two-part “Insults are magic” series by Toshimatsu is also in the list, accounting for almost twenty minutes of time. One lore theory video is about Cadance's Backstory.

Following this, we will be continuing with the fourth episode of Farscape.

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

Farscape

Season 1 Episode 4 - Throne For a
Season 1, episode 4. A group of Tavleks boards Moya and takes Rygel, dropping a powerful gauntlet in the middle of the scuffle. After figuring out that it injects stimulants into the wearer and is equally as dangerous to them as it is to their foes, the crew passes it around as a strategy to save him in season 1, episode 4 of Farscape; "Throne For a Loss"

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

With it being the day, the Pony Theme of The Week will be Hearts and Hooves, to absolutely no-one's surprise!

The room is open, running and ready.

Are ya feelin' a bit blue? Well, you'll be happy to see a continuation of one of the previous Luna themed stream nights.

This week we've got a number of clip compilations of Luna doing stuff in the show, some Luna lore discussion , and a hoof-ful of animations. WhiteHawke's “Luna's General Work Day”, a three and a half minute animation from thirteen years ago with eleven million views is here. A copy of Children of the Night with on-screen lyrics on the AureaiArt channel from eleven years ago with four point six million views, and then of course the classic Lullaby for a Princess Animation from WarpOut from nine years ago with a whopping sixty-one million views.

As far as pace breakers, there are shorter clips of Luna doing stuff, as well as three parts of a “Gandalf vs Saruman” wizard insult fight, each lasting about a minute.

Then, we've got our regular episode of Farscape. The crew comes across a ship that's disintegrating and accepts refugees. John has a feeling that something isn't quite right.
What a strange and unexpected conflict that definitely only exists in the world of fiction, isn't it?

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

Farscape

Season 1 Episode 5 - Back and Back and Back to the Future
After witnessing a disintegrating ship and receiving a transmission for help, D'Argo calls for the survivors to be pulled on board. The refugees appear to be two Ilanics, blood allies to the Luxans, and D'Argo takes it upon himself to make sure they receive the utmost in terms of hospitality; but John keeps sensing that something is wrong in season 1, episode 5 of Farscape: "Back and Back and Back to the Future"

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

This week, there are no prizes for guessing who Pony of The Week is. It's Luna!

Glad to have you, fren!

Progress requires some tinkering. I ran out of playlist slots, so I'm working on some kind of weird system of two browsers with different extensions and two different sets of playlists. There are a lot of kinks to work out.
Tonight's playlist has lots of animations and PMVs in it as I was building up a new subscription list on the new account. Not as many songs as a normal night.
A variety of animators are in this list, from Crash, to ACLP Films, ForgaLorga, Halo12, Makaryo, Tridashie, and more.
One of the highlights of the week is the new 35 minute Tamers animation, “My Little Pony Coco Pommel Has Her Heart Stolen”. This will be followed by our weekly Farscape episode.

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

Farscape

Season 1 Episode 6 - Thank God It's Friday Again
The crew visits a planet full of happy workers. Soon D'Argo and Zhaan start working and refuse to return to the ship. Meanwhile Rygel's body fluids become explosive and Aeryn and Pilot must learn why before Rygel dies in season 1, episode 6 of Farscape: "Thank God It's Friday, Again"

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

It is decided that tonight's Pony Of The Week will be... Amethyst Star!

Let's get settled in with some grub and some ponies and have a cozy night.

It was excellent, from what can be recalled

There's a lot involved in living a full life. Some of it involves reading as learning, not just consuming YouTube videos. Slacking on this to some degree is very normal, but a bit of reading to shake off the cobwebs can't be a bad thing.
Why not pop on over to /mlpolit/ >>179533 → for some reading recommendations? >>>/ub/1174 → and >>>/cyb/2661 → also have reading material. Books, research papers, and essays abound!
The Pony Theme of the Week is “Books”.

Contents of the stream night this week include music from a variety of sources, including several from Seaclipse. At least two character focused music videos from Magicked and Algo at All are in the list, with some works by Crossline Animator including a stop-motion animation.
I've rounded out the night with one design for a “sand battery air heater” that seems like a surprisingly fun way to draw useful heat out of a few tea light candles for comfort.

The open for the night will be an episode of the Red Green show as people wander in, and we'll wrap up with an episode of Farscape.

Season 1 Episode 7 - PK Tech Girl

Also, we only have a few more episodes to go, so we need to decide which Horse we would like to watch next. I am currently thinking either G3 or G5, if anyone has a preference please let me know. If I get no responses I will just pick.

Hey frens, this came to mind after video surfing: geothermal system.
Take some thicc underground waterline tubes and chuck it in a pit. How much tubing and the size of the pit depends on the area needed to be cooled/heated. The main bits is a radiator plus the underground tubing and a fan and on/off temperature stuff.

While radiator liquid can charge and arm and a leg, it's possible to use windshield wiper fluid.
Most of this just depends on the size and cost.
Down side, getting the underground tube out of the ground if something goes wrong is hard. Much more difficult than installing it.
Colder the area generally is the deeper one has to dig to get to the warmer ground temperature.

>>382184
Is there some reason you felt compelled to post this in the movie night thread?

>>382189
Yes, due to the conversations that occurred.
>>382184
There's also PCMs that can be useful to store heat.
Basically a mix of two or more salts in water give different phase changes which store more heat than normal stuffs.
High temperature phase change materiel can't go above a certain temperature, but lasts for long periods of time.
Low temperature PCM can be cold at a specific temperature for long periods of time without much change.

>>382184
Thanks for the follow-up, friend.

Geothermal sounds like it might be better used for cooling in the summer rather than heating in the winter. I've heard that it's expensive to run and does a less good job of heating homes in the UK in places where it seems to be mandated.

There are a lot of ways to do things, and it's sometimes not clear what the best options are. So many variables exist that blanket solutions are hard to suggest. It's easy to get stuck in the allure of newer technology and ideas that might be fantastically useful in some situations but untenable in other situations.

I admit that I don't know a lot about the relative costs, effectiveness, and reliability of geothermal as opposed to other methods.

This is the fourteenth day of the third month... That sounds like it's time for a pie-related celebration!

Have a happy Pi day! Or Pie. Whichever you prefer.

This celebration of delectable delicacies will bring with it a dash of sweet creativity and experimentation, as the best bakeries benefit from. A conversation with a little birdie the other night turned me on to a new tool to turn today's two cents' worth of topics to a totally terrific experiment! The tool isn't new, but it IS new to me.

Try testing that first thumbnail in the post to hear an AI voiced reading of this writing. Experimentation is a great way to keep creativity and energy.

With that experimentation and theming firmly established, I'm happy to stick to a normal night of mostly music with a few short videos. Most of this is Pony related content, but I've got some other items. Non-pony content includes two classic songs from Filthy Frank, two unrelated short videos, and a “Straight White Male” song. This will be followed by our next episode of Farscape.

Most of the pony music tonight is coming from Nicolas Dominique and NeverLastStanding. I've added a four minute video from blob compiling some funny AI ponies moments, and a recent video from Magpiepony's channel talking about the possibility of G4 coming back with more content. That means that you should use this as a reminder to double check that you've got an offline copy of all the Fanwork archives you want to keep. I think that there will be domineering rounds of purges to clear the cultural space for the corporate overlords' content.

The Farscape episode has our crew searching for supplies. Remember, they're a crew of escaped prisoners on an unarmed ship barely scraping out survival while being actively hunted. This is like Cowboy Bebop in that the main characters live a life that, frankly, sucks. “Your life sucks, and you're in very weird and unfamiliar territory.” I do not envy the characters, but damn if it isn't fantastically imaginative to watch.

Our music for the evening will consist of a handful of artists. Mostly BGM, then Evershade, then several artists with just one song.

Non-music Videos include an analysis video of why Rainbow Dash and Daring Do look so similar, a compilation of ponies impersonating each other for five minutes, and a couple of comic dubs from Scribbler Productions.

Non-pony videos include a minor update on the Culture War in the Gaming industry, one RPG related skit , and another video torturing you with fucking weird lines from some kind of anime / hentai dub.

Is it possible that you have a dark mode extension turned on that puts some images sourced from a certain booru into the negatives? That there's some sort of bug where it's marking the whole website's visuals as negative except for a whitelist of images, and these thumbnails don't count?

The last Watch Party of the month is here, and we've been keeping things going solidly.
While poking around on the Deleted Pony Songs channel, I found a whole playlist of songs from Crystal Slave. So, I decided that those songs would form the core of this week's Watch Party theme, with other playlist items having some moderate theming around “Crystal Empire”.
The highlight of the week is going to be SillyFillyStudios' “Fall of the Crystal Empire”, in case it's been a while since you've seen that. I've also added a PMV from Magpiepony about Princess Cadence's Backstory.

Alrighty, so a few things tonight before I post the schedule. First and foremost, tonight is the finale of Cowboy Bebop, and in celebration we will also be showing the movie. If you are invested in Cowboy Bebop, you will want to attend the movie portion tonight, because this will be your last chance to bebop any cowboys on this stream for quite some time. Next week we will be starting a new anime. Most likely it will be Trigun, but I reserve the right to pull a last-minute switcheroo should the mood strike me.

Second, as of tonight we are officially out of episodes of My Little Pony Tales and G1 in general. Next week, we will be showing a different gen, either G3 or G5. If you have any preference as to which one I ought to show, please let me know. I will also post a poll during the prestream so people can vote if they like. If nobody has an opinion, I will pick (I am currently leaning towards G%).

Third, this week's theme has raised the question of crystal ponies. Specifically: do crystal ponies have crystal genitals, and if so, do said genitals have hard edges? This seems like kind of an important question.

Lastly, here is this week's schedule:

Merrie Melodies: Tortoise Wins by a Hare
I, Claudius: Ep 11 - A God in Colchester

Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (2001)

Poni:
S2e19: Putting Your Hoof Down
G1.5: Ponies in Paradise, Who's Responsible?

Cowboi Bebop:
Session 25: The Real Folk Blues, Part 1
Session 26: The Real Folk Blues, Part 2

Thank y'all for hosting

But for fucks sake, how are you gonna make people sit through an hour of fucking I claudius? Jesus christ, it's like you're TRYING to discourage participation. I Claudius is for pseudo drama-fags who want a non-prescription alternative to ambien. It should - if at all - be played at the end of the stream when people are already falling asleep, as opposed to incentivizing sleep at the beginning.

Its trash

>>382439
You're the only one who's complained so far.

>>382439
>I Claudius
>Its trash
I disagree, it is a master piece.
No series even approach on teaching history, sociopathy, psychopathy, sadomasochism, wickedness and greed, as this one.
Every kid should be exposed to it to learn about the people around and what make them tick, not to mention the average American ignoramus to get a contrast on how lowbrow and provincial his tastes are.

>>382441
>masterpiece
Masterbate, you mean. If you want to learn about psychopathy there are plenty of resources available that don't involve being bored to sleep at regular interval
>>382440
Thats relatively easy to speak to. The 'artistic taste' regularly depicted by the 'movie night consensus' (reminder, the G3 or G5 poll got 1 vote, so 'consensus' is a funny use of the term) is reminiscent of the film predilections of the Critic (the John Loveitts animation). I'll remind you if you've forgotten.

>>382442
>Masterbate, you mean.
Ew no.
What about to move it to the end of Movie Night? Surely might cater your preference and allow the ones enjoying Roman devious plots to watch the series to its rightful end.
Let's what Flappy thinks.

>>382443
Gasp! You mean, making movie night about MOVIES? You mean, NOT this incrementally drawn-out fixation on way too many series to the point of having to (personally) set an alarm to wake me when it's time for the actual movie? What a concept

>>382444
I don't disagree with you.

>>382445
Then I'll do you one better! The thing about boring MOVIES is that they END. You don't have to come back next week and think 'oh fuck, there's more of this'. And then the next week, and so on. Once you've finished a boring movie, you can stop watching, whereas a boring series just keeps on giving.
With respect, it is appreciable that I, Claudius is "one of those dramas". By that I mean oh yes, the acting is so very neo-shakespearian; They're all so very serious. The reference to the Critic was deliberate (the line was "I like french films: pretentious, boring french films. Iiiiiiii like french films, two tickets cie vous plaiiiiiiit" followed by a slap from the cashier). Huh, Robert Graves wrote I, Clausius in the 30's, no doubt the books are better.

>>382446
>Robert Graves wrote I, Clausius in the 30's
It is twelve episodes BBC series from 1976.

>>382447
Now is not the time to be dismissing citations
>The I, Claudius novels are two books published in 1934 and 1935, respectively, both written by the English 20th century writer Robert Graves, but in the form of an autobiography of the Roman Emperor Claudius who ruled the Roman Empire from 41 to 54 AD.

>>382442
>'consensus' is a funny use of the term
I never used the term "consensus," you did. What I said is that you're the only one who's complained so far about I Claudius. The reason being that you're the only one who's complained so far about I Claudius. You were also the only one complaining about Wodehouse Playhouse and Drawn Together, which as far as I can tell everyone else enjoyed. You complain a lot about things that nobody else seems to have a problem with. Hence my calling attention to the fact that, much like Jay Sherman in the Critic, you're the only one complaining.

Anyway, I'm not really looking to make a big thing out of this. As far as the schedule goes I'm easy like Sunday morning; generally, I just pick stuff that I like that I think our group would enjoy, and if it turns out that the group doesn't like it I'm more than willing to make changes. If nobody says anything, I assume everyone is happy with the format as is. The present schedule is the result of both Flappy and myself making numerous changes to accommodate various people's suggestions and complaints.

In this specific case, since you're the only one complaining, and since you've complained vocally about other things we've shown that nobody else seemed to have a problem with, I'm inclined to not see this as a serious problem. It's like trying to make dinner for a picky six year old who is likely to pitch a fit one way or the other. You can either eat what the rest of us are eating, or you can go to your room and sulk I guess.

>>382449
So in your adaptability, if I put together a 'menu' you would give it a go?

>>382450
I'd be willing to look at it and consider it. I'd also want to hear from the rest of the group to see what they think before making any final changes; I'm not just going to uproot the entire format and do something different just because one person has a problem.

>>382451
Naturally, who would, and of course input is important, bus come on. The viewing order of stuff is like the course-menu of a restaurant; 'this' dish is SUPPOSED to increase anticipation for the NEXT dish, and a stodgy drama to start the night makes one want to go get some fast food. Like that scene at the vegan restaurant in Grandma's Boy

Hey fren wasn't all with it Friday. It's about 50-40 minutes.

MLPOL Anniversary Stream

Henlo my dudes! Today's a special day. The anniversary of the founding of /mlpol/ as a board over on the currently-cucked origin site.

In reverence for this, I've thrown together some stuff onto a playlist on the CyTube room for your perusal. Feel free to add more stuff. I'll be in and out, trying to do some other stuff, but having a specific /mlpol/ room running alongside the Marekissers Anonymous afterparty room could be fun.

[YouTube] /mlpol/ 2017 [Embed]

This will be less organized and curated than a normal night. A potluck. Bring your Pony Prank vids, your Aryanne vids, your /mlpol/ vids, links to the MLP Movie, and whatnot.

I see you, friend.

>>382536
Thanks for the stream tonight Flappy, it was alot of fun

>>382443
For whatever my vote's worth, I'd prefer to keep it in the before-movie time slot. I sometimes can't stay up until the end of the night, and I love these non-movie series. Sometimes the movies are hit-and-miss, and I appreciate the run-up to the movie. From the intermission, to the shorts, to the episode of a thing, then to the movie.

Ideally, we'd get a way to have this run in the CyTube room where we have more engagement options to shitpost with.

>>382552
The ceiling burds are the CyTube April Fool's Day event.

>>382558
It's really just a me problem I suppose, frequently waking up between 2 and 4am, by the time the movie is starting I'm usually in shutdown mode, and having to sit through several shows that - no accounting for taste - I simply don't appreciate the quality of makes it more difficult.

I will also say that when I ask "how long before movie" or something to that effect, there's several things I could be saying: 'I need to take a nap if I am to continue later', or 'I need to run to the store to get an energy drink, how much time do I have'. But really, what I am saying is "I'm trying to schedule something on the fly, and i would appreciate an at least rough estimate of how much time I have. I don't know is an acceptable answer. So, if you insist on displaying trash shows (I said it) then I insist that you meet me in the middle by giving me timeframes when I ask. Deal?

>>382561
>I insist that you meet me in the middle by giving me timeframes when I ask.
Kinda pushy your request.

>>382563
It wasn't a request, it was an offer of parlay. And, it's the far more reasonable ask.

>>382564
Ur a frn gn freNMm

>>382565
Nini, ur more gai

>>382558

This is pretty much how I feel about it too. If I remember correctly that was the concept behind this progression in the first place. It was based on the old-timey picture shows, where you'd have a cartoon and a couple of short features before the movie begins. I enjoy running these little oddball things that (I'm assuming) many people haven't seen but might enjoy. If a majority of people really don't like my selections and want me to cut them and/or show something else I won't force the issue, but if not I'd just as soon keep the schedule the way it is.

>>382561

Fair enough, I can understand this and sympathize to a point. If it helps, you can think of this as a return to the old pre-Netflix days of watching stuff, when programming was just put on by the guys who ran TV stations, and your options were to either watch what was on or shut the TV off. Inevitably you'd run into a problem like this, where a show you don't care about is wedged inconveniently between two shows that you do care about, and you have to find something else to do for 30 minutes. It's annoying, but you figure out a way to manage.

>I will also say that when I ask "how long before movie" or something to that effect, there's several things I could be saying: 'I need to take a nap if I am to continue later', or 'I need to run to the store to get an energy drink, how much time do I have'.

So, if you insist on displaying trash shows (I said it) then I insist that you meet me in the middle by giving me timeframes when I ask. Deal?
Fine, but I do think there are a couple of things worth pointing out here. I run basically the same stream every week, and unless it's a holiday or something, the programming order doesn't change. The movie itself is really the only variable-length thing in the stream; everything else is very predictable time-wise. Moreover, the schedule is posted in this thread before the stream starts, so there's no ambiguity about what's being shown. We also tend to have the same basic group of people showing up every week, and my assumption is that most of the regulars show up with a general idea of what I'll be showing and when.

If some completely new person were to wander in and ask "how long until X", I'd give them an exact answer, because I'd assume they didn't know and that's why they were asking. However, in the case of someone like yourself, who attends the stream almost every week, my assumption is that you're already familiar with the basic structure. So, when you ask "how much longer until Cowboy Bebop," my assumption is that "after ponies" is a reasonable enough answer. It's reasonable for me to assume that you already know that the pony block consists of 1 G4 episode and 2 older-gen shorts. It's also reasonable for me to assume that you know how long the episodes generally are, and that you are capable of basic math. Ergo, it's reasonable for me to assume that, when you ask "how long until Bebop," I could answer "after pony," and you would automatically interpret this answer to mean "about 40-45 minutes from now" without further explanation on my part.

Moreover, if you'd stuck around for literally ten seconds longer, instead of immediately getting pissy and storming out of the chat just because you couldn't handle a tiny amount of light banter, you'd have seen that your question was ultimately answered with the level of detail you were requesting and your buttrage was unwarranted. As we lovers of pretentious, boring French films are fond of saying: La patience est amère, mais son fruit est doux.

>>382573
It's true that I regularly attend movie and everything streams, and I usually don't pay attention to them because I'm waiting for the movie. "After ponies" can mean anywhere from a few minutes to a half hour when one has been tabbed out, passed out, or otherwise indisposed. But I suppose it's on me to communicate that better.

TBH, I would give I, Claudius more of a chance if one of the first things I saw wasn't Patrick Stewart with blond jerry curls.

>>382574
No worries, it seems like most of the issue here just stems from miscommunication. I’ll try to keep your situation in mind.

> TBH, I would give I, Claudius more of a chance if one of the first things I saw wasn't Patrick Stewart with blond jerry curls.
It really is quite a good series. The pacing is probably slower than usual compared to more recent shows, so it’s not really something you can watch casually in the background while doing something else, but I think if you give it a chance and watch from the beginning you’d like it.

>>382587
>so it’s not really something you can watch casually in the background while doing something else
Absolutely, it is crucial for the viewer to keep up with the dialogs and sequence of events from previous episodes.

>>382588
So, what you're saying appears to be "If you missed the first episode you're kinda fucked for the duration?"
>>382587
Binged, perhaps. Weekly? I will decline from saying any more rude things, but you have an idea where I was going.

>>382589
>If you missed the first episode you're kinda fucked for the duration?
Not quite, but the essence of the characters, yes.

>>382590
In the particular case of I, Claudius, I can't specifically speak to validate your point about being/feeling lost (though there was plenty). It was pretty easy to see that it was n emperor growing increasingly megalomaniacal to the point of pathology; anon's point wasn't wrong.

But in no reality are you going to convince me that Jean Luc Picard both has a full head of blond hair AND is a legionairre or whatever. Headcanon request denied, and the entirety of the production must bear the stain even before any further analysis occurs.

>>382591
>Jean Luc Picard
I, Claudius is a 1976 British series. Star Trek the New Generation, is an American series beginning in 1987. There is no possible confusion, and even if it is, the former is hairy, the later bald. Let us be sport anon.

>>382593
Oh? So you're saying he wasn't a waifish bald man in a wig, pretending to be a professional soldier back in The 70's? Professor X?

>>382594
I submit that I, Claudius stays on the same schedule.

>>382595
There was never the expectation that the schedule would change, this is purely shitting-on a bad series that managed to be sufficiently less-bad than its contemporaries to manage 'critical acclaim'.

>>382596
>this is purely shitting-on a bad series
It is a master piece anon. I'm so sorry you won't give it a chance.
The first time I have a glance on this series I thought exactly like you, boring and trash, but years later it came to my hands the full DVD collection and just for pure boredom I gave it a run. Imagine my surprise when after the second or third episode I realized that that shit actually was platinum.

A thot did get patrolled.

>>382597
>it's a masterpiece
They said the same thing about Avatar (the blue people one), and out of spite waited like 10 years before I finally caved and watched it. The assumption was that there was no way that the hype was justified. My intuition proved correct in that case, and I have less good feelings about I Claudius, even beyond the ridiculousness of Patrick Stewart. There's acting, and there's ACTING like you're acting, and I Claudius is the latter; pretentious, super-serious, and dull. No one is saying "stop watching the mini-series", but each episode feels longer than a whole-ass movie and clearly I maintain no reservations about saying so, for the record.
>>382597
Ever precious

>>382599
>There's acting, and there's ACTING
The preciousness of I, Claudius is not in the acting or image/studio set, but the story and dialogs teaching about wicked psychology in a old civilization.
The corollary is that human kind has not changed a bit.

>>382601
>The corollary is that human kind has not changed a bit
Wow, hot take. By that logic, a text or history book is a masterpiece. Basically all you have indicated was - as I said - it isn't good, it was the best available at the time.

>>382602
>By that logic, a text or history book is a masterpiece.
I never read a history book showing me the emotional interactions of the participants. I believe it is called "dramatization".

>>382603
>dramatization
Okay that's fair. Regardless, English media - and this is Shakespeare's fault - has this preconception with how Roman culture behaved that doesn't resonate as anything more than atrificial. Even the good acting - Claudius does a good job - doesn't result in a suspension of disbelief; it feels more like a recorded play than a mini-series, and I just can't take it seriously (it does that well on it's own and without assistance)

>>382605
>it feels more like a recorded play than a mini-series, and I just can't take it seriously
From the perspective of a Hollywood consumer, your assessment is understandable. As how elitist the following might sound, this series is not quite suitable for the unwashed masses.

>>382606
Fuck Hollywood, you're an idiot who doesn't know what you're talking about. 'Oh look, someone doesn't agree with my taste, they must be unwashed reddit', fucking ponce.

>>382607
It didn't take long to lose composure.

>>382608
The hell are you talking about? You lost any expectation of respect the moment you went for ad hominem. It's quite evident who the pleb is.

>>382609
You seem to have a strange amount of vitriol and hatred directed at this. About anything that is not "the movie", but also at this and most other things we show that aren't the movie. We do a lot more than watch "a movie" during the Watch Party.

Is there some problem with looking at the evening's programming as "an evening on CyTube watching a premade playlist with a chatroom"? As far as I can tell, you seem to be spreading a lot of negativity for reasons that amount to personal hatred of anything other than just watching a movie, and it's not clear why. What the objection to non-movie content is in general, and the objection to the programming chosen specifically here.

To be completely honest, I kind of drift away for a while when we're watching the old cartoons in the leadup to I, Claudius, but the old-timey programming of I, Claudius, The Wodehouse show, and the other things we've had in that time slot are all gems so far to me.

If you want stuff happening in a different time slot, on a different day of the week, then feel free to articulate it and put together a test run. I've considered moving this to a different weeknight so that more people are free for this over the other Friday night events. The wall I'm at right now personally is just inertia and juggling the other life stuff. Just keep in mind that a Potluck Night requires a number of active and enthusiastic participants, and can't be assembled live without the person running the room spending so much time managing the event that they can't relax and participate with others.

Making rude demands will not give you success in your goals.
Criticisms without offering a clear and simple alternate way of doing things does not represent you or your case well.

There's been an Afterparty room on CyTube, Marekissers Anonymous, that's been running for a while. There are usually half a dozen to a dozen active users in the chatroom, and it runs on a potluck system with a script to automatically queue up PMVs when there's nothing suggested by the users. Maybe spending some time there can help scratch your itch for the time being?

I'll see you in the Watch Party room in about six hours or so. Maybe some meditating will help things.

A bit of a delay in the start of the night. My internet access is hostage pending running around for a while will update when I'm closer to being free.

For the first Friday of the fourth month happening on the fourth day. Aside from an unexpected delay, I think we're doing good.

There's a Tamers12345 episode premiering today, but we're at least an episode behind on the stream. Rather than work through all sorts of planning stuff, I figured it would make sense to just go with a regular stream and then see if people would like to have a kind of Tamers-focused stream on some other day of the week. Not exactly like the catch-up streams I did once or twice for Gargoyles, but similar. There's a lot in the Watch Party playlist that doesn't quite fit in to the now-standard format.

I'll tell you what we do have going on this week, though!

Our highlights include an eight minute video talking about how “historically speaking, bronies[sic] were inevitable”. Then there's a delightful short video of Nigel and Marmalade helping Patricia hide a murder weapon that I think we'll enjoy.

The shorts for the week are themed around a Wizard War.

This week's Farscape episode involves our characters being hunted by bounty hunters, and needing to do some fancy pretending to get out of this jam.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Farscape

Season 1 Episode 11 - The Blood Runs Clear
John and Aeryn narrowly avoid destroying Farscape-1 in a wormhole and land on a planet where they learn their crew is being pursued by bounty hunters-- so they pretend to be some themselves

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Given the shorts and Nigel being about wizards, I think that “wizard” will be tonight's theme.

Room is running and we'll be on our way right away!

>not remembering the six million
oy vey, it's a very important film, goyim

>>382627
To your credit, you are consistent with having dodgy taste

>>382628
Oh, stop being a sourpuss and just join the fun. It's a special edition, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

>>382629
You posted the schedule, hard pass

>>382630
Your choice.

>>382630
>>382631
Let me put it into perspective. Your schedule is so boring, I don't even want to show up for ponies. That's right, your schedule sucks SO bad that MARES are unappealing. I know, its the last night, PLEASE finish the fuck up with I claudius, and let us never speak of it again. Schindler's List? The fuck were you thinking??

>>382632
>your schedule sucks SO bad that MARES are unappealing.
rood.

>I know, its the last night, PLEASE finish the fuck up with I claudius, and let us never speak of it again.
Just for that, next week's stream will be an I, Claudius marathon and we will ALWAYS speak of it again

>Schindler's List? The fuck were you thinking??
oy vey, how could you forget the six gorillion? really, though, I suppose it's my fault for expecting you to have a sense of humor

>>382633
>rood
Fuck off. Shindler's List? Schindler's list. Schindler's fucking list. What's next, a 'reading' of "The Diary of Anne Frank?" That fits right, cuz its WW2 right?
>Wanton disgust

>>382635
No, Schindler's Fucking List was the XXX rated sequel, we're watching that next week.

>>382636
Have it your way

>>382637
Thanks, I will

>>382638
Are you capable of serving other than yourself?

>>382638
>5$ the meal
I miss it.

>>382639
I think I'm serving you pretty effectively.

>>382643
L:ike you've served the mlpol audience? Trying the same thing but expecting different results? Yeah, posture all you want, you're an abivalent shitposter! But how is the site doing? How are incentivization methods such as communal events including and not limited to movie night doing? Youve been at it for quite some time.

I'm gonna go to bed. Happy anniversary!

>>382645
Goodnight, Sven.

>>382644
What are you even angry about?

I have to be honest. You wanted to come back here, mend bridges and all that? The way you're behaving is a big part of why everything blew up for you before and you wound up getting banned. Getting pointlessly combative about everything, taking minor quibbles and exaggerating them into huge fights; it's exhausting to deal with.

You're the only one who has a problem with the movie night schedule. Moreover, if you're going to be this obnoxious about it, nobody is going to be inclined to listen to your complaints or take you seriously. I can't even tell what you're upset about half the time, you just inarticulately rage about things that don't seem to bother anyone else. Just chillax, my dude.

>>382647
.mending bridges
We'll start there. I've gone out of my way to acknowledgr my faults and misgivings. Well golly gee, I must be the only one.
The way I'm behaving is exactly what happened last time, when a bunch of inneffectual assholes decided to ignore the one person who was trying to take what is and try to make something better. I know, you have gotten quite comfortable "as things are", so obviously you have no interest in having to do more.

>>382648
Chillax poner.

>>382649
>BoomBoom has an opinion
Let's just pause and savor this moment

Oh look, to no one's surprise BoomBoom had nothing to say, but piped up anyway.
>>382647
It's real simple. Imagine that you wanted people to come back. Not just the regulars, but everyone.

>>382651
>Oh look, to no one's surprise BoomBoom had nothing to say, but piped up anyway
How mistaken you are.

>>382651
>Imagine that you wanted people to come back. Not just the regulars, but everyone.
Alright, just for the sake of argument, I'll bite. What exactly are you saying? That we've lost people? Even though we've basically had the same core group of regulars for the last 5 years? And all of these phantom viewers would come back to the stream if we started only showing programs that you, personally, approve of? Which as far as I can tell would be an extremely short list?

>>382653
At face value, the argument is that you might have more viewers if you didn't start each stream with a boring-ass drama that ostensibly you had to see the first episode of or you're lost for the next 8 weeks.
I would say the greater point is a macrocosm of that microcosm, but me guess, not making sense?
If you were a new user, or even a lurking old user, what would incentivize you to post?

And now, what can be done about it?

>>382654
>boring-ass drama
You are literally the only person here saying that it's boring. Everyone else who was watching said they enjoyed it. It's a critically-acclaimed classic series based on two critically-acclaimed classic novels. I'm sorry you don't have the attention span to appreciate it and apparently can't deal with Patrick Stewart having hair for some reason, but unfortunately there's no accounting for taste. As far as it being an appropriate choice for the stream, if you consider that this board is half-/pol/, and there's usually an overlap between /pol/ and /his/, as well as /lit/ to some extent, I would assume that a drama about the seedy underbelly of Imperial Rome ought to be a popular choice. I made a judgement call, and it seems to have paid off, with you being the only outlier.

>ostensibly you had to see the first episode of or you're lost for the next 8 weeks.
This is actually a fair point. Showing anything with an ongoing story would run that risk. However, the same can be said about the anime block or the pony block, both of which are also popular. Also, I Claudius is the first thing I've shown in that time block that has an ongoing story between episodes. Before that, I ran Wodehouse Playhouse, which are all self-contained stories, and before that was the Honeymooners, which is also one story per episode. Before that I was running Little Rascals shorts iirc. The thing I'll be running starting next week is also the kind of show you can jump into at any point without having seen the previous episodes. So again, I don't think the issue here is so much that the format turns people off, so much as that you, personally, don't like my choices. You're entitled to your opinion, but you're heavily outvoted, and I'm the one running the stream. If you don't like what I pick, feel free to start your own stream, with blackjack, hookers, etc.

>I would say the greater point is a macrocosm of that microcosm, but me guess, not making sense?
Read this sentence out loud to yourself and see if you can answer that one on your own.

>If you were a new user, or even a lurking old user, what would incentivize you to post?
What would incentivize me to post would be quality discussion and quality content related to subjects I'm interested in. We could probably debate about what, specifically, that might entail for the average person, but I think in any case "come to the movie stream to hear Ninjas bitch and moan about every single thing that gets shown is not going to be a huge draw for anyone.

>And now, what can be done about it?
What can be done is that you can either stop bitching or continue bitching. I'd prefer that you stop, but I have no power to compel you.

In this case, aside from cheeky one liners, my insults and attacks have been against the series it's self while on the other hand, I've been insulted and attacked for attacking the series.
>duhhhhh nobody said nothin'
>duhhhhh you don't like patrick stewart
Maybe your eyes aren't trained to see horseshit when you see it, but I see a guy like Patrick Stewart pretending to be a roman solder that ISN'T bald and immediately go "Nah, horsehit." If you CAN'T, don't go anywhere near California
Macrocosm versus microcosm refers to the idea that all of reality is reflections of its self at different levels. The reference was to indicate the defensiveness that resulted from the idea that the stream was in any way not as good as you had built up in your mind.
This against the macrocosm of receptivity to any deviation from the general strategy the site has maintained for many years now. See how much receptivity there was to making a porn board for a day just to see if people will respond? As though pressing the delete button a day later was such an egregious ask. As though getting a straight answer from you is such an egregious ask. The same attitude that pervades the willingness to attack me rather than continue an otherwise enjoyable argument about the quality of a TV series is the same attitude that pervades the site which has become observably hostile to the notion of lifting a finger for non-site users in any way.

They are both reflections of an attitude that lacks self reflection and is at the very least inconsiderate of any potential new/oldfags.
Maybe you didn't notice, but oldfags are coming out of the woodwork, try to have a shred of propriety; you may have given up on the site growing any life to it but I haven't.
And yes, I WOULD be encouraged if I came to a site and saw users with the testicular fortitude to challenge Staff and all comers over a subjective experience, if anything I would be discouraged by the logical fallacies and loose rhetoric of you and 'yours'.
are you still following or did I lose you again?

I took some time to calm down before replying, because this is an extremely silly argument and I don't want it to escalate any further. I'm going to explain this to you in very plain and simple terms, and then this conversation is finished.

1. I have no particular obligation to stream free entertainment for everyone once a week.

2. I run this stream for fun and because people appreciate it. If it stops being fun, or if people stop appreciating it, I'm not going to do it anymore.

3. While I will generally make an effort to accommodate people's preferences, I am not obligated to accommodate anyone. If someone is being obnoxiously combative, particularly when they are making complaints that no one else is making, I'm not going to listen to them.

4. This stream is not intended to be a newfag magnet or advertising for mlpol.net. This is a fun place for anons to hang out and watch stuff on Fridays. If new people want to drop in, they're welcome to. If they don't want to stick around, they don't have to.

5. I don't know if the issue is that you need meds, therapy or what, but the behavior you've exhibited in this thread is exactly why nobody likes interacting with you, and it needs to stop. It's why you're not on staff anymore, and it's why you received multiple bans. If you can't rein yourself in, then you won't be welcome in my stream anymore.
