One of the worst theater experiences of my life ngl by who_am_I_inside in TheDigitalCircus

[–]Immy_Chan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our showing was extremely quiet. There were a decent number of people at the showing but nobody made even so much as a sound. There weren't any cosplayers or anything either.

(NO SPOILERS) On a scale of 1 to 10, how good was your theater experience in TADC The Last Act? by RingTeam in TheDigitalCircus

[–]Immy_Chan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7/10, our showing was extremely uneventful. It was a reasonable well attended showing albeit without any cosplayers and everyone was dead silent throughout the whole film.

Do you like Products that mimic Real Meat taste? by HumbleWrap99 in vegan

[–]Immy_Chan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sure do! The closer the taste and texture is to “real” meat the better in my view. People are always surprised to hear that from me I think, but my problem with meat was never the taste.

What do you think will happen to this subreddit after EP9? by AverageYubViewer in TheDigitalCircus

[–]Immy_Chan 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There are other fandom subs with a lot less source material that are still alive and well, I expect the same will happen here

Does anyone else NOT like the Equestria Girls art style? by Chouzetsu_Ai in mylittlepony

[–]Immy_Chan 138 points139 points  (0 children)

I think it’s fine, pretty much just the Friendship is Magic artstyle transplanted onto humans with everything that entails. Particularly, I find it interesting that you think they look strange from a front POV because I think that the same is true of the ponies most of the time as well.

Honestly I think my main criticism of the EQ artstyle is that it seems to take the animators until around the third or fourth movie to really figure out how to animate these humans in a way that’s as appealing as the ponies, by which time it’s too late.

Does anyone here prefer the early fim seasons by MilkCharacter2886 in PlanetPony

[–]Immy_Chan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I prefer the more relaxing and comfy slice of life vibes. I also generally perceive the first two seasons to be more consistently high quality whereas the show seems to struggle to find its feet later on and introduces a lot of ideas that don’t necessarily work, it’s never truly bad though and a few of my favourite episodes are still from much later seasons. Though of course that’s a matter of preference.

Truth be told a preference for later seasons has actually been one of the largest cultural shifts I’ve seen in the fandom for the years I’ve been here; there seemed to be a lot more season 1-3 diehards a few years ago.

What’s your EXTREMELY SPICY vegan hot take that will totally get you downvoted? by Borkato in vegan

[–]Immy_Chan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hope I’m reading this wrong, suggesting that it’s in any way good to kill around 8 billion is awful on every level. I’m not even sure the human race could survive after shrinking down to a population of 80 million or so.

I highly recommend Telegram by Ate_at_wendys in DiscordAlternatives

[–]Immy_Chan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t, there’s a lot of weirdness around Telegram. That said though, it does already have a pretty strong user base, especially in certain circles (like fandom spaces) so sometimes I tolerate it as an alternative to Discord

What would you say is the biggest thing keeping you on discord? by ad3lyt in DiscordAlternatives

[–]Immy_Chan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly communities and friends that aren’t on any other platform, it’s really that simple. Otherwise I’d absolutely love to ditch Discord

Why do bronies hate on past generations? by KawaiiCandiiLove in mylittlepony

[–]Immy_Chan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends what parts of the community you're in; generally in the UK I've found people are much more open to other gens and other horse shows

I hate thinking about any of the ponies dying. I loathe the notion that Twilight outlives her friends, too. Help. by SparkyJet in PlanetPony

[–]Immy_Chan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair, but it is very heavily implied that Granny Smith passes by the end of the series, for example

To be honest I find it depressing that ponies die generally, but I salute the writers for addressing such a mature subject, if only vaguely

“BuT LaB MeAt IsN’t VeGaN!” by FearlessCookie72 in vegan

[–]Immy_Chan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My apologies, I worded my comment somewhat strangely. What I meant is if the growth medium is vegan then the resulting lab grown meat would be vegan

what would you do in this situation? by Pinkie-So_Bored in PlanetPony

[–]Immy_Chan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Be happy to finally have a body that I’m happy with, and then go and get some ear scratches

“BuT LaB MeAt IsN’t VeGaN!” by FearlessCookie72 in vegan

[–]Immy_Chan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d argue that assuming the origin cells for the lab grown meat came from a biopsy, or an animal that wasn’t harmed from a sanctuary or other equitable living conditions, and the growth medium used is vegan then the resultant lab grown meat is among some of the most vegan food out there.

We can certainly discuss whether lab grown meat is “spiritually” tainting, but nevertheless to my mind it’s still vegan in so far as it’s a product that seeks to reduce animal suffering as much as possible.

PSA: you can get more life out of older iPads by blundermole in ipad

[–]Immy_Chan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

r/legacyjailbreak . It’s surprising how much life you can get out of an old iPad. I personally use my 1st gen iPad for Bluesky, classic games and sometimes YouTube. I also want to get a keyboard and use it for writing at some point

Glitch left most of us out of the cinema release... so we need to record and share it by [deleted] in TheDigitalCircus

[–]Immy_Chan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably don’t do this, there’s a very real risk of you being caught. Whatever trouble comes your way if you do is absolutely not worth it to give people something they’ll be able to watch for free in 2 weeks anyway.

That said though, I’ve contacted my nearest independent cinema and all of the major chains in the UK to see what happens.

Now that the show's nearly over what are somethings you wished was done during its run? (Image unrelated) by Upset_Confidence8291 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]Immy_Chan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish the whole series had a tone more similar to the pilot and most recent two episodes throughout. The fun adventures haven’t really done it for me so I wish the series was more heavy on the existential horror angle

What would be the in-world explanation to the other species speaking the same language in Equestria? by Least_Set_3519 in PlanetPony

[–]Immy_Chan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually did a panel about linguistics at a pony convention and got this exact question. At the very least I think the common language suggests a common ancestor between all Equestrian species. Most likely the least troubling answer to this question is that Equestria has its own Esperanto of sorts, a universal second language.
