  1. Another one from the List of Things Hasbro Won't Let a Brony Do in a Fangame:

    3)  Pinkie-Swears aren't the kind of things I should need to bleep over.

      "Pickles!" isn't a Pinkie Pie swear? 

       

       

  2. I've been sitting on these for years---I think it's high time I started posting the List of Things Hasbro Won't Let a Brony Do in a Fangame:

    1)  When naming OCs for the Canterlot Royal Guard, the following names are off-limits:  Cannon Fodder, Red Shirt, Brown Pants.

      Don't forget "Kenny". :wau:

  3. I hate what they're doing to small creators---there's a definite double-standard. If a small creator gets dogpiled by bots or kids flagging videos, they'll ban that creator without a real human being doing any actual investigating. People can lose their livelihoods at the drop of a hat with the system Youtube currently has in place; it's an unsafe environment for building your livelihood as long as youtube has this policy of no human intervention...
  4. Well, shoot---registration is open for Whinny City Pony Con, but I'm suddenly finding myself wondering if I want to spend over $550 to go to a fan convention for a show I haven't watched in I-don't-know-how-long.

    It's a sobering feeling:  I really did like G-4 while it was on; they did an excellent job with the characters, and I'm still working on my Weather Factory Meltdown fangame.  I cried back in 2019 when the show had its finale, simply because it was all over.  In a lot of ways, the show is a part of who I've been since 2010.

    But...is it still a part of who I am today...?

      This is so relatable, I totally get what you mean.

      I haven't watched pony content in yeeeeears either, yet I'm still slowly working on pony stuff. However, I do intend to give up on my pony games in the near future, though not because I lost interest, but mainly because real life just doesn't want to cooperate, heh.

      $550 to go to a fan convention? You account travel and all that stuff, right? Well, that's a lot, I'd never be willing to go even if that was for something I'd be super hyped for and the like. :twi: For the same reason I've never ever in my entire life been on vacations. My budget kinda tight. :eager:

      $550 is the hotel plus the registration; I live near enough to Windy City to drive there.  Food and gas aren't a part of that, but I know those'll up the cost.  It's high partly because the con starts on the 7th and ends on the 9th, and while I could save myself money by arriving on the 7th and leaving on the 9th, I'd prefer to be rested; I plan to arrive on the 6th and leave on the 10th.

      Just after I posted this, I realized that I still daydream about a portal to Equestria opening in my laundry room---I'm not exactly proud to admit to something that silly, but it is enough to tell me that G-4 is still very much a part of who I am; I've already paid for registration, and I think after my next payday, I'll look into a hotel.  Maybe I'll cut a day to save some money; I don't know.

      I hope you'll enjoy your time then!

  5. Ohhhhh I loved this when it was on the air back in 1999!!! You did it amazingly on the organ, too!
  6. Nice! Love how the tempo slows down at the end; I've tinkered with music-making software once or twice years ago, but I'm not sure I figured out how to make a decelerando like that. (Nor do I know if I'm spelling that right...)
  7. Yum! Just yum! ...Oh it doesn't let you make posts that small...huh... Cake for @Millennium Shadow and @Jonny Music ! Chantilly!!!
  8. That was actually really good---I had to re-listen to that part, but the reverberation really worked!
  9. This is one of the songs that gets me right in the heart. There's a lot of uncertainty in Twilight, and a lot of love from the other princesses to her.
  10. Oooo, forgot about the door-slam! It's been too long since I've seen Recess I guess :/
  11. Wow. Now I need to re-watch and see if I can find that easter egg back! In any case, I liked Chapter 4. It actually feels like a great continuation of the plot of G-5 so far, gave Misty a good character arc, and they managed to set it up in a way that continuing the story further makes sense, and will likely allow us to see more of Equestria going forward. I had no idea that Opaline thought the other ponies already knew about her---maybe that's part of why she kept herself hidden, though the fact that they showed how weak Opaline was when she finally left the castle for the first time might also have something to do with it. What I'm wondering is: will Misty remain a mole and keep living with Opaline so the Mane Five will learn more of what Opaline's up to, or will she get a room at the Crystal Brighthouse?
  12. I have to agree. This could've expanded the mythos, shown us whether this was a scam or something genuinely awesome, and...they dropped it. Also, we have our first sighting of the famous "things can't get worse -> starts raining" cliche in G-5! Spike did that all the way in Season 1 of G-4 in the Owliscious introductory episode. At least they waited 13 years before doing it again!
  13. It's got potential. I'm glad there's some hints in the dialog that things will be moving forward, and glad that they're bringing MYM back!
  14. Nice! I saw Jetforce Gemini in stores when I was a kid, and thought it looked pretty cool, but never tried it. Was it as cool as it looked?
  15. Well, there's this picture from off of the PBS Kids Wiki; it at least shows the six main human characters. I do remember Lambchop's Play Along; it was a pretty good show.
  16. I was just thinking about a TV show from when I was a kid during the 90s: The Puzzle Place. It had six different main-character puppets meant to represent preteen humans, and on top of that a talking dog and a talking cat. The characterization was strong, I feel like it was well-written, and having a rotating, diverse cast of characters meant they could have plots centered around their individual anxieties, struggles, flaws, cultures, and backgrounds...which kind of sounds a lot like FiM when I put it all that way, doesn't it? I'm just wondering if I'm the only one who remembers it. Do you remember it? What episode or episodes stood out in your mind? The ones that stick out in my mind are the one where Ben is called butterfingers, the one where Jodi got bullied, and...shoot, maybe the one with the musical instruments.
  17. I had in mind an easier song/level to start with, or maybe starting with use of fewer buttons earlier in the song. That's let the player get used to the controls. Ideally, there'd be a whole bunch of songs that ease the player into the harder parts---partly the difficulty was how there were so many different things to pay attention to at the same time, and partly it was because I wasn't used to the controls---and, of course, partly it's because I haven't played many rhythm games in general, if I'm being really honest!
