I might as well start watching other stuff in case the horses sink and I’m not left in the dark. :v

Steven Universe bored me the last time I attempted to watch it, but apparently I need to go deeper in order to “feel it”. So maybe I’ll try again.

Gravity Falls is great from what I’ve seen, but I haven’t caught up on it all. Probably should get on that.

Following @nitrus-baro has gotten me interesting Wander Over Yonder, so I’ll also try that sometime.

… Undertale. >:c
 My dashboard is 80% Undertale-related and it’s close to surpassing the “horribly annoying” phase and going into “OKAY FUCKING FINE I’LL FUCKING PLAY IT.”

And I think that’s it.

Eh.

I guess it’s due to the people I follow and/or the friends I have, but I’m starting to get the impression that MLP is entering denouement.

Don’t get me wrong, season 5 has been great. But the recent bout of “meh” episodes has been getting me to think that maybe the writers are starting to hit a couple of walls.

Especially with Twilight. Good lord. All season, she’s been practically absent and in the times she has been the focus, she doesn’t even sound like herself. Like she’s just hanging around not doing anything productive, exaggerating her worries, and just appearing to be simply useless! This princess thing has been essentially detrimental to her development as she’s apparently hit her peak and has nowhere to go but straight down. Ugh. And she was one of my favorite characters :c

Of course, I’m probably gonna eat these words by the time the finale hits. Maybe it’s some intentional bug that becomes the focus of the last two episodes. But even after that, I fear that S6 will only continue this trend downhill. All the way to the series’ completion.

I’m surprised I haven’t heard the theory that Tumblr is intentionally changing up features just so they can drive the “core base” (that being, dumb people we complain about a lot like fandoms, SJWs, teenagers who think they’re hot shit, etc) away and thus improve the reputation of the site in the long run.

Thank you mobile tumblr app for posting that 8 hours after I told you to post it.

You’re doing god’s work :T

Why are people on this so liberal with using the term “virus”?

Do people just not know what to call them so they just say “virus” because that’s what the security suite says is bad?

Unwanted messages that show up in your inbox are called spam. Or junk, maybe.

What about or posts or places that contain links to places that hijack your account or potentially steal your information? Phishing.

It’s not a virus unless it places code on your computer and it is able to spread itself around a network. They present themselves only on your OS and not just on a website. So if you go to a sketchy site and now you suddenly have unwanted apps running and installing without you knowing, then that’s closer to a virus.
