Master!

Because useless trivia/statistics is one of the best products of the big master review list, here is today's post from my main blog. Linked, but everything there is down below.

Why they so bad? Like nine out of ten youtube video reviewers of pony fan fiction are just terrible. I've gotten to the point where I'm all caught up on the BMRL but still have the energy to work on it. So I once again dipped into the video reviews bookmarks. Which once again reminded me why I don't do them as a regular thing. Half the time finding out what story is being reviewed is a struggle. Just link the damn story properly, dang it!

If there's one thing that's good about living in 2020, it's that software for rolling your own service has never been better.

Literally the best part

I had to pause the DVR recoding I was fangirling so badly

It's like what Bad Horse does, only without the breadth, depth, education, computer fancyness, or usefulness.

So... interesting episode. But I'm starting to wonder if the Apple Family doesn't just make up new traditions to confuse the rest of the town.

I adored the idea of Pinkie and Shy being awesome at something because they just have fun doing it. Of course, then the completely expected happened, with our competitive girls trying to drive that same thing into Pinkie and Fluttershy of all ponies.

Now... we come to the weird part.

Ah, that feeling when you find just the right way to do what you want on a computer. Didn't have to edit 6000+ entries by hand! I'll get the hang of this computer automation of spreadsheets eventually. See below the break for another minor set of Big Master Review List statistics.

I finally found the formula/function in google spreadsheets that does what I need it to do! So here is more numbers for you.

A few years ago I carved myself the shape of a promise.

The promise was to include an amount of poni in my Master's Thesis. Anyponi, someponi, everyponi – just not no poni.

Recently I finished my Thesis in philosophy of language. It's about the structural theory of meaning. And it definitely has some poni in it. I have a fragment below to show for it (I'll post the link to the official, published version whe

My term paper was just turned in. That's it! My M.S. in Sociology is done! It's odd not having anything else to do. My brain is kind of dead. Now I can start the job hunt. Well, tomorrow. Tonight, well I dropped an extra chapter for y'all.

Yeah late, I already explained last week, let's get to it shall we?

Fluttershy prepping for Nightmare Night looks a bit different than normal people, namely battening down her cottage.

We got spiders barricading the windows and bears making hidy holes (well prepping under the bed for hiding all night long) buuuut Fluttershy forgot Dev- I mean Angel's food so out to town.

We'll be discussing the leaked episode of Scare Master in a second but before we do, since there are SPOILERS, I am going to use the discussion about the new Tydal image as a SPOILER WARNING BAR! If you don't want to be spoiled turn away now! I won't discuss the plot but a detail of the episode.

There we go. All done catching up. Not that I've got every review on the list of course, plenty I don't follow and plenty I don't know about. Yet I've got everyone I currently follow caught up plus a couple I've only discovered in the last week or two. So I'm calling that good.

14,000 reviews on the list as of right now. I actually hunted down some new ones because the total when I finished catching up was 13,997 and I couldn't let that stand!

Just got finished adding MLPmatthewl419 to the big master review list. Not the simple version yet, I'll probably do a update for that over the weekend. He's got eleven review posts up as of today in fact. On the short side, averaging two stories a post. So, if you like reviews, and if you follow me I can't imagine you don't like reviews on some level, go check him out. The only flaw I noticed while skimming his stuff is that he didn't

Today's bit of trivia from the Big Master Review list. The word 'bread' appears 5 times in the titles/authors of the covered pony fan fiction. Which means it beats 'nice' which only appears 3 times.

Only 27 more review posts to go through and add reviews to the list from! I'm slowly but surely catching up and will be actually current soon! I mean, not counting my own reviews obviously.

So it turns out I was wrong about my PC's power supply. It can take a GPU upgrade.

So Friday's overtime check turned into this:

35 minutes and one heart attack later, it's in, and quite a beautiful sight.

Thanks to you, I'm not waiting four days for an adapter that I don't even need.

You did a perfect job of describing things to a newbie. Needless to say, I'm absolutely hooked. That feeling when you've got everything hooked up, you cross your fingers and hit that power button, and everything lights up... Nothing else like it.
