[personal profile] loganberrybunny gave me 5 questions. I can try to come up with 5 for you dear reader if asked.

In a prize draw you win a single-use time machine which allows you to attend one live gig, anywhere in the world, any time in history. Which one do you go to, and why?

Since I can't decide on which particular concert from a single band, I'm gonna have to go with Live Aid, specifically the Wembley half. However, I'm also eyeing the JFK Stadium half and kinda waffling, but I gotta go with the fave to see Queen live at their show stealing set.

 If money was no object, what would be your dream cosplay outfit?


Currently, my "grail cosplay" is a Ghostbusters one, but that's more a matter of time and logistics than money. Owning a 3D printer really drives down the hardware costs at the expense of time. For GB, it's largely a matter of figuring the specifics of how I'm going to do the Proton Pack and Neutrona Wand. With that in mind, something I am far more limited by funds is a fursuit. I don't think I have anywhere near the skills to pull that one off to the level I'd want. Funds also severely limit how accurate I can make props. 3D printed stuff hits visually, but that's not on the level of accuracy of, say, using a Graflex flash for a lighstaber hilt or a Mauser C96 as the base for a DL-44 blaster. M41A Pulse Rifle from Aliens would be another expensive one, needing a Thompson machine gun, Remington shotgun, and part of a SPAS-12, and that's before figuring out the legality of cutting down the Remington real short.

What's a time when you were gaming that you really felt accomplished?

Actually getting match wins back at the beginning of my TF2 Highlander career was a pretty big deal. The team had been getting stomped pretty bad in scrims up to that point. This was only the end of the first half, but pulling ahead was pretty satisfying, especially with as close as that was. 






How do you feel about the makeup of the furry/pony (you choose) fandom now compared to when you first encountered it?

Why not both?
Furry is definitely bigger now than way back in 2002. I do feel like there's a portion of the fandom that's more in it because of independent queer artists than for the anthropomorphic animal aspect.

As far as pony, I
 do think it's smaller than it was at it's peak. Probably still bigger than when I got into it summer 2011, but certainly down from the peak. It also feels like there's a lot of trash that needs to be tossed out. It never did sit well with me that the fandom had 4chan origins, and meme lords are always a red flag for me. Feels like a lot were just here for the memes and ignored all that the show stands for.

What's the most breathtaking natural sight/feature you have ever witnessed in person?

I always love getting away from the light pollution and seeing the full starfield, Milky Way and all. The utter vastness of it all plus my own sci-fi addled brain seeing millions of worlds with sights to see and, with any luck, some life to meet.
