Do any of you know about this? I saw a bunch of videos mention it on YouTube, and as most of them sung praise for it and it looked weird enough, and after reading the general premise, I thought I'd give it a watch. And holy Bob was it crisp! Like, all ten episodes had exceptional animation quality that made the characters and all the weirdness really pop. And boy is it weird, especially with the characters. But it's an endearing weird, for all their quirks and insanity. Wamawink is an absolute

This was originally going to be a comment posted in response to one of the blogs written by the authors of The Other Side of the Spectrum in response to recent events, but it turned into a wall of text so I decided to make it a proper blog post instead.

Story review: #28 The Sun and the Star
—by General Alduin

Characters:

Sunset Shimmer: I really like the way you highlight who Sunset is in this story it feels very organic. And I appreciate the amount of characterization we get for her in such a short run-time.

Starlight Glimmer: This alternate human version of Starlight is interesting….
…..because although she is very similar to the Starlight in the pony world/the canon she also isn’t.

A note before we begin; this is not intended to critique or disparage people who do accept money for their fanfic/fanwork; like all my musings posts, it is merely a public exploration of my own thoughts. It is intended to provoke discussion, not to insult or denigrate.

Today’s meandering musings post is about a subject I have wanted to address for a long time. And yet, it’s one that I’m still considering my feelings for.

Hey there, readers. I hope you’re having a good weekend! Mine is looking up. I’ve got some writing to do today (when do I not, right?), but before I dove into it, I really wanted to get a quick post up on some recent news items that have hit recently.

I am curious. What is it about Shattered that you guys like about it? What positives do you have? What negatives do you have? Something you think that needs to be looked into some more that I should do? Maybe something that could have been taken out completely?

Pop quiz for you. Don’t worry, it’ll be easy to answer. Have you ever read any licensed literature? Like Star Wars books, or Star Trek, or Warhammer, or … Sands, really any licensed property? Or maybe seen a tie-in TV show to a movie? Played a game of a movie or a book?

Hoo boy, it's one of those weekends.

Random Fact: Windows XP was the last version of Windows to support running without ACPI support, and was also the last version to (unofficially) run on the i486 platform, using the Pentium Overdrive chip for i586 capabilities.

Something a little different but I thought I might share my thoughts on Jodie Whittaker as the new Doctor, as I am a big fan of Doctor Who.

I know some corners of the internet doubted her ability to play such an iconic character, but I'd like to think most of those voices are now silenced.

CAN YOU SAY, FEEEELS?!

No random facts today.

I watched a do not cry challenge. I failed.

Generally, if you ask me, I'm pretty sure that I've teared up at anything that contains a loss of something personal or of significance to a character.

Internet's gone to crap again, so yeah. On the bright side, my singleplayer survival world in Minecraft has gotten a massive bump in overall progress!

That moment when childhood finally catches up with you...

Random Fact: Even though there's hardly anything that currently uses the full bandwidth of PCIe as of yet, PCIe 4.0 is already rolling out, and 5.0 is in the works, both of them greatly increasing the bandwidth. Again.

There's Discord, and then there's... Discord.

Random Fact: Before the rise of smartphones, Qualcomm was a small-time chip maufacturer. Now they're an up and coming rival to Intel and AMD.

As per usual, daily internet outages are back with the school year in full-swing.

Today pretty much all but confirmed that I'll be leading a sizable chunk of the school robotics team.

Once again, I repeat myself: Screw Comcast.

Random Fact: Comcast and Centurylink, as well as a smattering of smaller ISP's, were recently hit with a massive, rolling set of internet outages caused by technical issues on Centurylink's behalf. Ironically, this is due to Centurylink having scooped up an ISP called "Level-3" that provides access to other ISPs. Including itself and Comcast. Unfortunately, I'm still feeling the brunt of that.

Random Fact: It's indeed still possible to use a 56k modem to load modern websites. It's just painfully slow.

Now that I'm practically a full quarter into the school year, you can probably tell that I've gotten comfortable by the massive load of productivity that I've pretty much slapped down wherever I've gone.

Somehow, in Angry Birds 2 in the Arena, I beat someone with nearly 100 ranking points more than me.

Currently, Equestria Daily is having a poll, where the question is:

How would you feel about a more "Mature", PG-13 level 5th generation of pony?

One of the answer choices is the ever nebulous "other," which is the one i have chosen. Seeing as I don't exactly have the ability to explain why there, I thought I would do so here.
