cranberry-scotch-replies asked: You know, I was just wondering... why do you censor? Anyone who knows anything about context will be able to figure out what was censored. I'm not trying to convince you to not censor. Heck no. I just want to understand your view on the matter.
Two reasons.
One, because this is the internet, not face-to-face interaction. You have time to communicate without stumbling on words or being incredibly upset. There’s no excuse for swearing.
Secondly, I run a family friendly page. I operate under the assumption that some of the ponies following me don’t know those words and have no reason to be exposed to them. Plus, it shows a certain level of maturity. And swearing isn’t the way mature adults communicate in a casual interaction.
I swear, but not online, and not in front of children. When Gilda tossed me like a rag doll into a wall, I swore quite a few times. Not directed at anypony, just as a reaction to having the wind knocked out of me.

As of this post, I’ve answered all the ones before this post was sent, aside from the song you submitted.

You’re welcome!
theblackstrawberry asked: ohh i see where you're coming from. it seems like batman: arcum asylum would also fit into the duce ex category for its versatility in the same way, though i haven't actually played it extensively enough to critique it.
I’ve heard it was a great game, but I haven’t played it at all.
askbasspony-deactivated20120130 asked: *knocks on Lyra's door* *after the door is open* Good evening Lyra :) I was just in the neighborhood and thought I would swing by and hang out for a bit. If you are not busy that is.
I don’t just open the door when somepony knocks.
Also, I’m not there right now, Mint and I are coming back from picking up Sweetie Belle.
I’m still standing next to you.
Oh.
Sure!
Anonymous asked: C: thanks for not revealing me
No problem.
Anonymous asked: I'm guessing the His Dark Materials series sparked it, actually, because the Lyra in the book you posted is a character from that series.
Six of one, half a dozen of the other.
diamondmint asked: Hey Lyra, wanna try to play my bass? You might like it, and its easy to pick up.
Oops.
Sorry! I didn’t see this until now and you’ve already left. Maybe next time!
Anonymous asked: Showtime (Piano Refrain) - Homestuck. Is this possible?
Anything is possible if I have the sheet music.
I think…
Probably not drum and bass. That’d be too hard.
Likely is the question. If it’s techno, no, not likely. But I don’t know the piece in question.

scorch-mechanic asked: You needn't preform any head-shoe intercourse to please that silly anon. We love you anyways, whatever that footwear-cranium interaction desire-er may think or want.
Well thanks.
And thanks for the high-brow terminology! I don’t have to censor this one!
askprofessorlyra asked: Putting your shoes on your head? Do they not know that horseshoes are nailed into place?
I think they meant like galoshes.
theblackstrawberry asked: What about the game portal? what was wrong with that?
Short, puzzles don’t change on subsequent playthroughs, no multiplayer. Minimal enemies, methods to defend yourself, and methods to accomplish a goal.
And of course it falls into the same huge problem that all full-on puzzle games always fall into. If you just have no clue what to do, you’re not gonna figure it out. If you’re not looking at the puzzle the right way, no amount of trial and error is going to get you the right answer.
And if (heaven forbid) you look up the answer, that’s half the point of the game removed!
That’s what I like about the Deus Ex series. There isn’t just a few possible answers to a complex question. You can puzzle it, sneak it, shoot it, blow it up, or use any combination at any magnitude you want! And that’s present in spades in Human Revolution!
None of that is to say Portal is a bad game, or that Human Revolution is flawless. But you asked.
Anonymous asked: I do want to remain anon... But I feel that Lyra has instantly solved the mystery of who I am already.
Style’s different this time. If you’re the same anon, you’re safe.
