>>38600860
People are making hundreds of posts about ONE game. My choices seem to be either a) read through ~100 post a day that have zero relevance to me, or b) close the thread and stop reading and talking about pony gaming entirely, then maybe check back in like two weeks to see if the thread is usable again. (But apparently they don't plan to start the server - and thus make their own thread - for a whole other month.)

Talk about your game retard
Oh wait, you don't actually have one you want to talk about, you just wanna bait

>>38600887
I wanna see people talking about various games, and engage with them. If there's ~20 posts per day talking about a few different games, it's super easy to find conversation.
If there's ~150 posts in a day every day all talking about one single game, then it becomes much more annoying to discuss anything else as it gets drowned out in the endless "calameme this" and "DoW/pirates/tokens that".

>>38600877
Or, c), ignore the post that aren't relevant to you and look at the other ones. Also

Skipping the nitty-gritty of our packing and preparation, we departed on the morn with a water caravan headed down to one of the Charioteers' farms. For the first couple days the trip went smooth, passing by the first checkpoint that marked the beginning of Charioteer territory, before things took a sudden turn for the grim just before our turn off the road for the final leg. The second checkpoint had been attacked, bodies of Charioteers and small fry raiders scattered about the roadblock, as one of the chariots burned away behind it. Clot checked the bodies, finding no survivors, while Spotted Mark picked an ammo case in the chariot and found a half dozen grenades, which we distributed among the gang. A variety of hoof and drag marks led off to the East, and we surmised that somepony had been abducted, but ultimately it was not our problem, and the caravan's leader, a unicorn by the name of Moonstone, sure as hell wasn't going to veer off course to investigate.

Thus, we carried on, striking off the Big 52 towards our target farm, making good time and arriving earlier than expected. For all but Powder, this was the furthest from home we'd ever been, and consequently our first time seeing one of the farms in person: a wire fence and guard posts, encircling a series of greenhouses, barracks, and storage buildings. The farms were run on slave labor, but in a style closer to the Society than Red Eye, the laborers well-fed, free of collars and not worked to the bone, but ever under the eye of armed guards. Perhaps a more noble spirit, one not raised in the Wasteland, would have taken exception to this, but for us, it was a simple fact of life, albeit an unpleasant one. We spent the night at the farm, splitting off from the caravan in the morning for the short trip to The Office, headquarters of the Charioteers.

>>38600915
Despite its name, The Office was a proper settlement, the usual Wasteland patchwork construction forming a small town radiating out from the old Stable-Tec office at the center. Inside, we found an acne-riddled colt sitting at the receptionist's desk. To this point, Due Diligence had been emerging as the team leader, but his plan of just walking up and getting an appointment like a reasonable pony was interrupted when Quick Clot took the initiative, strutting straight up to the kid and shoving her ponut in his face until he agreed to let us up the elevator to see the boss, which, while expedient, very nearly started a firefight when the guards on the top floor saw a group of well-armed ponies barge out of the elevator unannounced. After brief but tense negotiations, we were ushered into a lobby and engaged in a stare-down with the guards while Quick Clot alone was allowed to speak with the boss.

The leader of the Charioteers was a stallion by the name of Motorcade, a mobster type, very good at knowing when he had leverage and when to negotiate. Clot opened with the 90-percent-of-the-truth story we'd previously agreed on: Oasis was looking to establish contact with other Stables in the area, and the Charioteers were the logical ponies to ask directions from. Then, she threatened to raise the water prices if he didn't comply.

Motorcade's demeanor quickly soured as he told her just what he'd done to the last messenger to make that threat, and I want to take a moment to really lay out the scene. On the other side of Motorcade's door, the five of us were facing down half a dozen armored guards carrying shotguns in a room with no cover. Inside the office, Quick clot was standing in front of Motorcade's desk, a .357 magnum resting atop it, and directly behind her was another guard, shotgun leveled right at her mare bits. In this instant, we became very, VERY aware that we were playing Phoenix Command, a system where 90% of the damage tables are just there to tell you how many seconds you have before its time to roll a new character. The tension was palpable, our entire group sitting there with the words "I START SHOOTING" hanging in our mouths. The only reason Quick Clot walked out of that room alive was the fact that we'd brought just enough firepower to make Motorcade unsure if he'd live through the ensuing firefight.

But emerge alive she did, and with a deal to boot. The raider attack we had seen the aftermath of had hit a delivery of slaves on their way to the farms, and Motorcade wanted us to get back at the raiders responsible. There was a bonus in it for us if we retrieved the slaves, but the important part was sending a message. In return for mercing ourselves out, Motorcade promised us the location of one Stable, and the means to enter it.

After planning our course of action over lunch, we made our way back to the farm we had spent the night at, meeting back up with the caravan just before they set out for home. We rode with them back to the Big 52, meeting the road back at the checkpoint, now with the bodies cleared away and new guards in place. The trail of hoofsteps and drag tracks from the attack was still visible enough to track, and we split from the caravan, marching through the rest of the day and most of the night in pursuit of our quarry. It was at first light when Diligence finally crested a ridgeline to find an old diner at a T-intersection of forgotten secondary roads, a mare bearing one of those unmistakable raider manecuts standing on the roof with a scoped rifle. He signaled a halt and hit the dirt, fortunate enough to have caught the mare looking the other way, and after taking a minute to observe the scene, slipped back to the group to put a plan together.

For a ragtag band with little training and even less experience, it wasn't a bad plan. Without the weapons needed for a proper base of fire element, we settled for a sniper team of Diligence and Powder, setting up on the ridgeline, while the other four moved North, crossing the road well out of sight and using the woods that had likely once been a park for concealment as they closed the distance. Once they were in position, and following a moment's hesitation, Diligence took the first shot of the campaign. A stationary mare-sized target at a range of 50 meters and all the time in the world to line it up, the kind of shot that takes deliberate effort to miss.

Allow me a moment to explain how Phoenix Command handles damage. When a hit is confirmed, a roll is made for hit location. The location corresponds to a damage table, which is cross-referenced with the data of the weapon and ammunition used. Each weapon has its own ballistic data, graded in Penetration and Damage class at varying range brackets. Think of it as the depth and width of the injury if you will. When plugged into the damage table, this gives you a numerical value of Physical Damage, and the possibility of a disabling injury on that part of the body. Once the PD has been established, a roll for knockout chance is made, with graded levels of difficulty depending on the mismatch between damage and a character's pain tolerance. As a rule of thumb, 30 damage will take most people out of the fight, 100 damage is the point where you need serious medical help, and past 1000 damage, you're pretty much fucked.

>>38600922
Diligence blew the raider's spine in half for 54,000 damage, folding together like a ship with a broken keel as she fell. The shot was the signal for the assault team, Spotted Mark taking up an overwatch directly through the open front door as the other three made a full sprint across the street. Diligence and Powder switched to overwatch, covering the corners of the building to watch for anypony coming from a possible back door, and Spotted spotted another raider moving to front desk of the diner, a lever-action rifle held in magic grip. She took the shot, blasting the raider's liver to pieces, leaving her staring at the ceiling with the blank expression of a fish out of water as she oozed thick, dark blood onto the floor. Gallant caught another running across the room to an internal door and let off a burst, catching her in the hind leg, hip and throat, a bright arterial spurt painting the wall before she collapsed halfway through the door.

As Gallant somehow managed to ask "Did I get 'em?" without tounge-fucking the trigger, Quick Clot caught a flicker of movement as a fourth mare made for a corner of the dining room. She led with the grease gun, spraying the corner as she peeked through, only to find herself staring down a pair of 12-gauge barrels. There was a scream of "FUCK OFF!" and a blinding flash.

>>38600925
Quick Clot jerked back out the door, ears ringing, face stinging with concrete chips, and eyes clouded by sunspots, but mercifully free of buckshot. Marked Spot followed up quickly, leaning in and demanding the raider's surrender around a mouthful of pistol. With one shot left and at least two hostiles, the raider mare let her weapon fall.

The assault team moved into the building, and after a few rounds of securing the prisoner and setting up breaches, the GM informed us that the building contained no more surprises and we moved out of tactical time. The building was searched, the all clear was sounded, and Diligence and Powder made their way to the building. Noticing Diligence withdrawing into his mind during the walk, Powder told him "It gets easier." with all the sympathy she could muster. Diligence might have whimpered a little, or it could have just been an exhale.

We convened in the main room of the diner, sans Spotted Mark, who remained outside guarding the raider. Gallant's kill had been running for the kitchen, where we found the slaves locked in a cage; two mares, a badly beaten stallion, and a filly. Gallant took a minute to examine his kill, the first boards in his mind starting to creak as the scrawny kid who'd been bullied all his life discovered the wonders of violence. The primary topic of discussion was the would-be slaves, with the group generally in agreement to release them and lie to Motorcade that they'd been found dead. Diligence was the dissenting voice. He argued that the group had neither the time to escort them to safety, nor the food and water to give them. From what we had been able to see, life on the farms wasn't terrible, certainly better than death by dehydration, right? It was at this moment, of course, that the captives began to get anxious, and Diligence went to speak with them.

>>as far as I remember they are hosted as images not text also heard the translation is very terrible
>>Yeah got someone to check and they're images. Not sure what's up with that. Does anyone want them anyway?
Not that Anon, but I understand where the misunderstanding came from. I should mention that I don't have Netflix though, all of this is simply referred to the openly accessible trailers on netflix.com, but I'm pretty sure that it's probably the same with the actual shows.

Netflix has a lot of different versions of each track. Different resolutions for video, different bitrates for audio, but also different formats for subtitles (or, well, closed captions, the distinction is irrelevant for this).

The default subtitles are in a format that Netflix calls internally dfxp-ls-sdh. These are just TTML files, all the files you shared with season 1 subtitles are dfxp-ls-sdh, and most languages have dfxp-ls-sdh subtitles. However, for whatever reason, Netflix does not offer dfxp-ls-sdh subtitles for a few languages: Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Romanian, Simplified Chinese, Thai, Traditional Chinese, and Vietnamese. All of these languages (but as far as I can tell, these languages only) are available as what Netflix calls nflx-cmisc, which is literally a zip with png files containing the subtitles, and a TTML file with the timing of each image. Depending on the system of the user, the player might default to showing images instead of text for these languages.

If I'm not mistaken, all the languages, both the ones that default to dfxp-ls-sdh and the ones that (at least for some people) default to images are also available in another format, internally called imsc1.1. This is yet again a TTML file, except that it's formatted slightly different. I don't really know why Netflix doesn't simply use it as the default, but this is the format you got when you downloaded the Romanian and the Vietnamese subtitles.

Pic related shows two different caption files for the same video, left is imsc1.1, right is dfxp-ls-sdh, the most immediate difference is that 'standalone="no"' in the very first line. If you look at your files, the files in English have this 'standalone="no"', the files in the other languages you downloaded don't have it.

Knowing the names of the formats is interesting if you're saving trailers, because you can mess with the parameters when you call the backend to get exactly what you want. I have no idea if this is relevant at all when you're playing videos inside the platform though, but at least this is a technical explanation for the mysterious subtitles served as images.

>>38600793
Interesting. You wrote "Netflix has a lot of different versions of each track. Different resolutions for video, different bitrates for audio"

I wonder if Netflix has audio only files and video only files, similar to the output you would see from running this command:
$ youtube-dl -F https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M0Rb_Nn08M

Someone in the previous thread asked about the Greek dub of the show. I assume that all non-English dubs use the same video stream (the one for the English audio) but different audio streams. Or, they changed the video to lip sync with the non-English audio, which is less likely, I guess.

Twilight's name is Amurg in Romanian. In Romanian, "amurg" means "twilight". In Romanian, "bowling" is "bowling".

All of the Romanian subtitles files are valid, but untested. I checked them basically the same way that I checked the Vietnamese subs, but this time I checked the first like 20 or 30 lines. I was worried about the last files in the Romanian (ro / rom) set for a certain reason, but they turned out fine.

This might be a really dumb question, but how do the image hashes prove it's them? Far as I can tell it only proves that the image's data is identical to the image that already exists on the site. Unless I'm mistaken.

I was expecting more drama as well, as the opening scene was two homosexuals being killed by exposure to the elements, the guards affair with his herdmate, and the demon/magic detection intervention.

But you must remember, anon has no magic, and has relatively weak constitution compared to his earth pony hosts strength. Stockholm syndrome is real, he's not in the worst position, he does not have viable alternatives, and he is playing it close to the vest despite his errors.

You know what I just realized?
Life for the foal of Anon and his mare would have the most groan-inducing parents.
Think about it, not only do they have to deal with stupid "Mom jokes" but because their dad is of an RGR nature, they'll also have to deal with "Dad jokes."
And it can get worse, too.
What if it's a nerdy Anon married to an equally nerdy mare?
They'd do cosplay together and quote old movies at each other in public all the time.
If I was that filly or colt, I'd have my face in my hooves constantly and asking myself why this is my life.

The intention of the special was to pass the torch of empathy to Starlight I wouldn't call her a Sue I don't like to use this type of term. I think in those days she had the bad luck to be the candidate to replace Twi in FiM and possibly Hasbro thought that she needed more presence so that people will notice her more. It's a situation that is out of her hands but yeah the special could have been better if it had been handled differently.

>>38600430
You speak as if the character is separate from the writing instead of a key component of it. The blame for the shit storytelling is of course on the hacks that wrote it but the characters involved are defined by what happens in the story that they're involved in. Glimmer is a mary sue in the special; she has no flaws, she has abilities beyond reason, and everyone else sucks cock except for her so that she can stand out and be the sole person to resolve the entire conflict. This isn't even the only time something like this happened; the comic arc with Accord was resolved in basically the same way with her somehow surviving an element of harmony nuke while everyone else jobs so that she can talk down the big bad.
