Submitted my entry (had to guess my old go-to hat from back in the day)! Really cool of you to do this, it's nice to have something other than spam happening on here again.

Thank you! So much cleaner now.

Yuuup. It's part of the tradition, I guess! Just this year it didn't grind the forum to a halt as much, because there wasn't a ton being said here anyway.

I think the Gvlog mention might have been in the PAX Australia episodes, so he was probably talking about one that came out already, since they're a year old.

I don't actually watch the show, but on the MLP topic, I met the actress who voiced Vapor Trail in the episode Top Bolt yesterday, so that's kinda cool.

Yay, congrats! Keep up updated.

Yep! I think I didn't find it (or at least a link) until well after it was set up, I don't think there was ever an announcement on the blog or Twitter or anything, so it probably mostly came up on the streams, and is one of those things they assume people know about by now.

Here's the link.

Yeah, I think it's a combination of the two, and a few long-time forum folks moving on, but there not being enough discussion for new people to join in as frequently. For myself, I do miss it, and I find the chats aren't nearly as good of a fit for me. I like being able to think out my words, make a...

Done! And welcome to the forum, by the way.

That's awesome! Congrautlations Aeralis, and also to your husband!

Yeah, it's been quiet, which bums me out too — I'm not really big on real-time chats, so could never really get into stream or Discord. I do feel like it's picked up a little in the last month or so though (no thanks to me...), so maybe we're just in a lull.

That stinks, but from what I've seen, LRR's pretty good at responding to this kind of thing when it's brought to their attention, so maybe this is their current distributor. I'd say reach out on Twitter (it's pretty quick to set up an account if you don't have one) to @loadingreadyrun, and maybe @Gr...

I get what you mean, and have a similar backstory. Didn't really get "into" music until I was about 16 because I wasn't really a fan of the pop music of the time, and while my parents listened to a lot of classic rock I liked well enough, I didn't ever really engage with it. But then it wa...

If most of them were from the LRR community, that might affect it too. I'm sure there are a lot of people in the same boat as me, who don't really watch streams except for LRR's, and watch them specifically because they like LRR.

Done!

Cool, congratulations!

Been meaning to watch that one for a while, will have to check it out sometime!

By the way, just wanted to say that I'm still reading and enjoying all of these write-ups, even if I don't have anything to add in response to most.

I don't know that I've ever heard it used snarkily, but I think the best way I can define it is someone who has a lot of variety in their interests and the way they act. So you might say it about someone who's really into Magic, sports, gardening, and music, and is capable of being completely weird ...

Awesome, glad to hear it.

Fancy!

Hey, question for audiobook folks: they aren't usually my thing, but I got an Audible trial because I had a bunch of cleaning to do and a book to read for a class (World War Z). I've got one more credit to use before I cancel the trial, so I thought I'd see if anyone has a good suggestion for anothe...

Thanks, y'all!

We're on a little vacation at the ocean (planned ahead of time, but she thought it was just for Valentine's Day) having a nice, rare get away to celebrate.

Thanks, you two! <3

Thank you!

And what's crazy is, I realized this never would have happened if I hadn't got gotten my passport so that I could go to LRRcon... (For those who don't know, I'm Canadian and she's American)

So...

I kinda just got engaged.
