    @Will Gazzzze I'll keep checking. @ExplosionMare @KirbyFluttershy @Ocean Breeze @Anti-Villain I have Celeste on my island! Last I saw her, she was in the northern hills. The dodo code is still 6XYXL. (Yes, my connection to Nintendo is quite stable today.) The meteor timings, in USA Eastern time, are: 10:24pm, 10:30pm, 10:31pm 11:03pm, 11:17pm, 11:53pm 12:07am, 12:29am, 12:48am, 12:50am 1:29am, 1:34am, 1:35am, 1:40am 2:05am, 2:49am 3:43am Also, I have literally a hundred star fragments that I want to get rid of because my storage space is getting low again---when you've known exactly when you're going to get meteors for as long as I have, these star fragments build up a lot over time!

    it’s 72 on my island today. Not sure where the price will go between now and Saturday; there’s still a chance it’s a declining week for me, but it could be a high or low spike—I’ll have to see what the prices do in the next couple of days

    @KirbyFluttershy which paintings do you still need? Reds is here, and he’s got a Moody Painting and a Worthy Painting that are real (and a Proper Painting that I just bought, but will gladly trade for either of the other real ones if the Proper Painting is what you need) I’ll forgo playing Metroid Dread and keep my gate open; dodo code is 6XYXL

    Will do. So far, ac-turnip thinks there's a 40% chance my island's got a high spike coming at some point this week (don't know when, yet), 21% chance of decreasing, and 39% chance of a small spike. The small spike caps out at 198, so...shoot. Might be worth a try to find something on http://turnip.exchange if it comes down to that; I've pretty consistently found at least a way to more than break even with that site.

    @KirbyFluttershy I never got out of the habit of posting high turnip prices on my island, but...I haven't had high prices for the last several weeks :/ It's been fluctuating, decreasing, or low spikes. Heck, I use the ac-turnip tool to figure out what kinds of patterns I'll have, and if I see it narrow it down to fluctuating/decreasing, then that week, I go to turnip.exchange and find an island with a decent price to sell it. (It's especially good if I can tip in Star Fragments, as I have far, far too many of those---you can tell I'm most excited about the storage space increase!) To be honest, Metroid Dread has been pulling me away from ACNH---it actually got me to break my run of free nook miles for daily uses of the ABD terminal!

    I wonder if they'll have an explanation about why there was lightning in a completely clear, starry sky...? Also, that might not be the mare-do-well; how would G-5 characters even know about that? And if they did, wouldn't they also know that it was a farce? ...One last thought occurred to me: what if they make Sprout a recurring villain in the series? Unless they made him really hilarious, I don't think he'd work all that well as a villain; he's just not a credible threat---not after his defeat at the end of the movie!

    Sorry if I've already said this, but I was into Winx Club; I thought it had good storytelling and worldbuilding. Also, I watched the Barbie Fairytopia video before that, but mostly it was so I could use it as material for a parody crossover with Halo, where a grunt somehow ended up in Fairytopia. (Hilarity ensued, along with plasma pistol fire.)

    Nice and creepy! I don't know why I thought at first that this'd be the first town's theme when I clicked the link; I must've had a brain fart! Palette Town is the first town, not Lavender...!

    I think I might need to log into Facebook so I can see Facebook Marketplace.

    I took a long hiatus because it was...well, so political.  But looking at some of the deals on the marketplace for arcade1up stuff...it's the best source for cabinets at reasonable prices, I think!  I hope to get my hands on a cabinet that either is empty, or that is very cheap and only has games that I already own, so I can take the guts out of it and do a custom project with it.

    Having a character who's got a big fanbase and who has been established as good come back as evil wouldn't work very well: it'd feel insulting to the fanbase, and to the narrative of the character. Daybreaker was a very interesting character, I'll admit, but since she was just a figment of Starlight's imagination, she didn't ruin Celestia as a character, nor did it insult or nullify the narratives Celestia had been through before Daybreaker's debut in G-4. But if Daybreaker came back in G-5, they'd need to have a real good explanation as to how that happened, that doesn't wreck Celestia's character!

    Thanks for trying! I'm going to reopen my gate; there was a network issue, and need to reset my switch. EDIT: sorry for the delay :/ dodo code is J2YH2
  12. HereComesTom
    Go ahead! Personally, I'd go to http://turnip.exchange and find an island there to sell on, but I won't stop you if you want to sell on my island! I'm keeping the gate open all night long so anyone who wants in any time zone can come and make wishes! Just a fair warning: there are spans of time several minutes long where there are no meteors, but rest assured: this is a heavy meteor shower! EDIT: Celeste is also here! She's over by the northern hills around the bridge in the middle, or at least she was last time I saw her!
  13. HereComesTom
    I just know the minute I open my island for meteor-wishers, Kirby will answer. ...Eh, it's worth a try, isn't it? Dodo code is MWY7J
  14. HereComesTom
    I have low prices too. But I do have a heavy meteor shower! ...Should I be opening my island up, or asking for the Dodo code to that high-price island?
  15. HereComesTom
    Fun fact: back around 2009-2010, I was thinking about doing parody crossover between G-1 My Little Pony and Arby 'n' the Chief. At the time, there was quite a bit of G-1 content on youtube; I've seen plenty of G-1 episodes, but I don't think I've seen them all. I've seen the movie, though, and honestly? I really, really wish Hydia, Reeka, and Draggle had been in G-4. Like, my ideal for them would've been where they were introduced in a season's premiere, then the majority of the episodes had their machinations driving either the A-plot or the B-plot. They wouldn't be in every episode, but in more of them than not. That'd give the villains a strong presence throughout the season, something we didn't get until Season 9. This is the other big reason why I wish they'd done this (the first reason being ): Hydia had this Vile Villain / Laughable Lackey dynamic with her two daughters, and there's only one villain in all of G-4 who had a comedic henchman: the Storm King had Grubber. Every other villain pretty much worked alone.

    Well, this fandom sure has staying power! I sure hope G-5 is as good as, or better than, G-4: then we're really in it for the long haul!

    @Will Gazzzze @KirbyFluttershy @A French Derpy full of Salt @ExplosionMare @Eren Jeager I have a light meteor shower on my island. The Dodo code is 8J3TY The meteor timings, in USA Eastern time, are: 10:38, 10:46, 10:47pm 11:09, 11:12, 11:19, 11:33pm 12:02, 12:23, 12:45am 1:45, 1:50, 1:51, 1:56am 2:08, 2:11, 2:21am 3:03, 3:11, 3:59am

    Facebook got so political for me that, months ago, I decided to stop going to Facebook.

    And today is the one day I decide to log in and see if there's anything worth seeing---and it's down!  How can one of the biggest social media platforms in existence be down?!

      Must be serious. I’m glad that Twitter’s okay because that’s the only one I’m on. :rarity:

      Way I see it that was a blessing. I did the same sorta thing where I stayed away for a long time and then I went back for a couple of days and I felt my intelligence begging for sweat release. Facebook is a nightmare. 

    3. Rikifive

      Rikifive

      Yeah, Facebook sux, I can feel my Intelligence stat dropping when I'm there. e-twibigbrain.png.59f9651fa9ae93815fbd2e51e2fc697b.png I visit it very very very rarely, but pretty much never post anything.

      Aww, I checked it, seems to be working for me just fine. So how do I break it? e-twiwth.png.5878ad773cfe0efaf9dc8dc75763160a.png

    I think this thread was from 7 years ago...but I'll say my bit here: I really like Celestia, myself, and I think having a motherly/god-like figure like her really added a lot to the show!
  20. HereComesTom

    Wow!  For the first time, someone else streamed my fangame!

    If you ever wondered what I look or sound like IRL, this'll tell you!

     

     

    1. Rikifive

      Rikifive

      Awesome! It's so fun to watch someone else play games one creates :P 

      I heard your voice many times, but I don't recall seeing irl you, so e-eyeswoke.png.e442d218a54e0bafe7357923034d3b77.png

      Very nice, although they kind of have to work on audio quality a bit, especially at the beginning, the music was too loud. :P 

    2. HereComesTom

      HereComesTom

      Yeah---for that matter, the only sound my game has is its music.  That's...shall we say, space for improvement?

    3. Rikifive

      Rikifive

      Actually the issue is, that the streamer was too quiet, otherwise it was okay, your voice was much more audible. It's not the game's fault, the music coming from the game was quieter than the one he played at the beginning, that rainbow factory song - he just could have bumped his own volume. :P

    @KirbyFluttershy @Will Guide @Eren Jeager @ExplosionMare I got a light meteor shower and Celeste again! Last I saw her, she was in the northern hills, way to the east. Dodo code is 0WMHV Meteor timings, in USA Eastern time, are: 9:36pm 10:06, 10:10, 10:11, 10:15, 10:44, 10:52, 10:53pm 11:15, 11:18, 11:25, 11:39pm 12:06, 12:27, 12:48am 1:49, 1:54, 1:55am 2:12, 2:15, 2:25am 3:07, 3:15am
  22. HereComesTom
    To be honest, that looks more like silver to me...
  23. HereComesTom
    Ah---my second idea definitely had its flaws! Thanks for pointing that out.
  24. HereComesTom
    Funny, I'm the opposite way: I'm okay with them saving that question, "How did they get divided?" for the series. Argyle himself is implied not to know. But the ending left me feeling jerked around and half-spoiled the whole movie for me. Reading posts like this makes me realize: there are a lot of different emotional reactions to a film, and a lot of different ways of looking at it. The unanswered lore questions don't bug me; if anything, they're my main reason for wanting to see the series. But if they do bug other bronies, well, that's a legitimate reaction, too! I agree; they're underdeveloped characters. I suppose they had to pick and choose who they'd develop in a movie this short... This is a kind of a freaky coincidence, but what's interesting about this is that I had a fanfic that was a kind of a "what if?" for G-5 (I think I called it "Brand New Day", which will make it impossible to find on fanfiction.net, since tons of other fanfics also have that name), and my pegasus characters were added near the end, almost as an afterthought, and I think they were also a bit underdeveloped. I tried to show off their personality traits in the chapter where they were introduced, but...I'm not sure how well I really did...
  25. HereComesTom
    I agree; I have a whole thread on how I think the ending could’ve been better done, and what I think is wrong with the ending it actually had. You might want to give it a look and see what you think. The funny thing is, that’s the one thing I don’t talk about in my rant about the ending: why they made decisions that led to such an unsatisfactory ending. I keep hearing “rushed”, and it wouldn’t be surprising if that were the explanation. But…shoot. If that is the reason, then i guess it’s another instance of companies choosing speed over quality :/
