Ask Lyra

Jul 21

image

1) Not what I was looking for, but good enough.

2) Alcoholism.

3) B: The [omitted] should I know? I don’t even know them.

You’re the one they asked.

B: The [omitted] should I know? I don’t even know you.

4) B: Yeah, I bet you did.

I had a lovely night, Boscov. Thanks for making me feel better.

B: Yeah, I bet he made you feel better.

You are how old?

5) Strawberry, I do go back and read anything that B answers. Thank you for trying to comfort me.

6) Old games were good. Never really cared for the comics. Show was okay.

Pizza time!

7) It’s called consolidation.

The computer trouble saga continues as I have my computer wiped and the troubles persist! Hardware issues are the best issues!

1) Eh. Makes sense. You know, in that doesn’t make any sense sort of way.

2) I guess if you use “your” enough you’ll eventually get it right at least once.

3) B: I’m not gonna chastise the colt for trying to do the right thing.

4) B: So does everypony.

5) There’s all kinds of websites about how to recycle old VHS tapes.

6) I’ve beaten Contra without dying, but probably Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne. Blaster Master was pretty tough too.

7) Uh… Yeah. Okay.

1) B: You mean the one that tried to comfort his friend? Yes. Shame on him. He should have done what you’re doing.

2) B: Be glad I got to this ask and not Lyra. For the first portion, allow me to direct you here. For the second, the notion of grimdark derives from there being absolutely no hope. Things certainly didn’t go well for that filly, but she made it through. She found the light at the end of the tunnel and followed it out. Well, mostly.

3) B: Not being Lyra, I’d be fairly confused. Figured her demographic was a little younger.

4) B: She knows you meant well.

5) B: When I heard she made friends with a griffon, I was more than a little surprised myself.

6) B: Pretty sure Lyra doesn’t believe in ghosts. I believe in spirits, but you don’t want to hear about me.

7) B: I can’t tell if you’re calling Lyra a social justice… whatever. Or what exactly you’re doing.

1) Now? What happened to dinner?

2) If she and Tootsie are interested, I could see about that.

3) Not exactly what I had in mind. And it looks like you already knew the answer anyway.

4) …

Nothing.

I’m sorry.

5) Sure! Not tonight, as I already have plans, but we can arrange something!

6) …

I have to go get ready. B, can you…?

B: Sure, Lyra.

B: Until the day comes, if it ever comes, that you fully understand what that mare’s gone through, it’s best that you don’t compare your life to hers. There are more complicated and painful things to live through then accidentally killing a friend.

1) If you could specify what RCA is supposed to stand for, it might help. Then again, if I knew whether or not you used Lyra Player instead of Lyre Player on purpose or on accident, that would probably help too.

2) … I’m not a clever pony.

3) Hm hm hm… See you tonight.

4) Probably not.

5) I said it sounded boring, not torturous.

6) Nah. Was never really interested in professional wrestling.

7) Video was uploaded in negative to avoid being auto-removed.

What could not-so-little ol’ me have to prove?

1) Tarot Cards! More useful, more accessable, and more expendable!

2) That’s no good.

3) Why? So you can try using it against me? No thanks.

4) Whatever helps you sleep at night.

5) Wouldn’t need to be a round two. Optimus Prime could just step on everypony.

Except Pepsiman. He’d just run off and grab more Pepsi.

6) Ess Pee Eee Cee Eye Eff Wye!
Detail what you mean to I!
Ess Pee Eee Cee Eye Eff Wye!
Vague asks make me cry-! O~h!

Be more specific.

7) Thank you?

8) Mmm… What indeed?

As with all real forces within our world, magic must abide by the rules in which our world is comprised. Magic has the potential to do anything; it will never be able to do everything. And even if it could, why would we want it to? The kind of destructive nature magic of that magnitude could have in the wrong hooves would be apocalyptic.

This is why we have hospitals. This is why we still have to grow food. This is why houses take more than a day to build and why death is still a threat.

Fantasy and magic are two different things, but it seems like sometimes ponies forget that.

[redacted]yesrainbowdash replied to your post: I think I figured out my earlier computer trouble….
Yay

1) I’ve never heard of that and am pretty sure you’re making it up.

2) Amused, since that would clearly be a falsehood.

3) Really? Dinner then come straight to your house? You don’t have something to prove, do you?

4) I could argue that this page is only really for when I’m not doing anything, but considering all the unfollowers I’ve gotten lately, I sort of figured.

5) I only really play a few games here and there these days.

That is… a very strange game, though.

6) If I’m being completely honest, I sort of thought you might’ve been Scoots. I think you’re right about Boscov though, so I’ll give you the nod.

7) Finally. I mean, I legitimately bought this sombrero off the black market. It’s not like I stole it.

8) Well… I might have spoken too soon… It seems to be okay when I first reinstall Flash, but then it breaks again. At least it’s not freezing up my computer.

But as I read more about it, it sounds like the parties involved are aware and working to fix it. They just don’t know how yet.

For now, I’m back with Firefox and I’ve downloaded adblocker plus and set it to block youtube videos so I don’t accidentally break something.

I think I figured out my earlier computer trouble. Some sort of compatibility issues with Firefox, my graphics drivers, and Adobe. It doesn’t explain my moniter zonking out during boot up after a crash, but I’m on Opera right now and no crashes! Yay!

1) Sounds about right.

2) I think my version is sort of relaxing throughout, but the original? I mean, it was specifically designed to cause unease.

3) Yes.

As a disclaimer, I’ve never played Rhythm Heaven and only knew what you were talking about entirely be chance.

4) Not me. Do you have something in mind, big guy?

5) Just to confuse you as much as possible.

6) So Jews are citizens of the United States of America? Huh. I thought they were called Americans.

7) Upbringing mixed with apathy, I imagine. Why learn about something you have only a passing interest in?

P.S.: Why doesn’t Chrome let you turn off tabs? I’d have gone with that over Opera but I don’t like tabs.

image

1) Okie dokie.

2) You’re welcome!

3) Okay…

You realize at no point did you actually apologize to me, right? You apologized for your past, but never anything you did to me in your past. Or is that the whole point? Lead me to believe someone was sorry for something they did to me but then come back and be all “Oh! I wasn’t apologizing to you! HA HA HA HA HA! You stupid mare!”

Hopefully you’ll see where I’m coming from here.

4) Pretty sure you weren’t, since that’s not how anything works.

5) And you’re perfectly welcome to think that way, if you can’t help yourself. I work around foals; I’d rather rumors spread that I’m boring than a freak.

6) Flute. Tootsie Flute.

Also, sort of funny how the bedroom question is followed by “Candy String.”

pumpkincakeanswers replied to your post: What does the blue screen say? Also, do you have another computer that you can use?
Well, I have blue screens all the time, until now, nothing bad happened, but I heard that it’s not very good. Anyway, it happens to me all the time and I still don’t have any problem owo

[redacted]yesrainbowdash replied to your post: My computer isn’t doing so well (blue screen). I’m…
Yikes :( I’m sorry! BSODs are so scary. I wish I could do more to help you!

1) It’s okay now. I think. I updated my graphics card drivers and it seems to be fine. Then I saw a new button on my start menu that said Nvidia 3D Vision or something and when I clicked it, it crashed again. So I removed that button.

Everything looks more crisp than before. I wish I’d updated it sooner. But I have no idea if everything is really all better now. Also, I deleted all the posts about it to conserve space. I was just kinda panicking. Sorry about that.

2) Twilight granted, but by what are you defining important by?

3) Oh, I’m sure you do.

4) What are you talking about, Rar-… Oh… Well, Salu~t! Nice to meet you…

… Elusive? Nice to meet you, Elusive!

5) This should help, unless you wanted to asking about something more specific.

6) Are you just the same anon or do I have a strangely large and vocal audience that likes Kamen Rider?

7) I swear to Celestia, Strawberry. If you turn me into a newt or something because I was playing dead, I'ma slap you into next week.

8) I'ma tell you right now. If you don’t have copies of all your vital, irreplaceable work files on a flash drive or two, you’re tempting fate. I’ve lost everything before. 500+ hours of music/pictures/writings- all gone. And when it happened, it was so sudden I never had a chance. If anything ever starts acting up now, first thing I do is safe mode and update my back-ups.

9) As long as I have everything I’ve worked on backed up, I’m okay. It would certainly hurt a lot to lose my computer, but I’d still have trusty my laptop!

Just couldn’t play City of Ponies

1) Wouldn’t be the first pony after me.

2) Nope. Sorry.

I can’t even seem to set aside time to watch Regular Show and Adventure Time every week.

3) Can you buy a new one?

4) …

5) Aw… I’m sorry. We’re separated by the ponynet, but I saw this on tumblr once.

Huggu~!

Let me know if that worked.

6) I always liked the pointy chin! It’s okay if you want to change styles, though. Or if you want to just draw however you want for the situation! I like the mostly flat colors with highlighting/shading here and there. It makes it feel more animated!

I’m not very good with art. I don’t really know how to answer this anymore than that.

7) Sorry. I used to go to /f/. You learned pretty fast to be mindful of where links lead (watch the status bar). And always be aware of the volume, especially with swf files.

Sorry about that rockstar that died. It’s a good song you sent me, though! I like Celtic Metal.
