Howdy all, this is bridgefag, current BO (technically, BO pro-tempore, BO is still enteral board owner.) Remember my promised update from like... what? Three years ago? It is here! A form of it anyway. /endpone/ hasn’t been at the forefront of my mind since early 2020 and each time I have tried to work my way back to it stuff happened. Now I finally had the chance to devote some time to here and seized it while I could.

This is a incremental 1.5 update. The update I promised from back then when I decided my more ambitious 2.0 planned from way back when wasn’t doable. This is the best I can do right now as well. Life gave me a pause from all the crises and I have gotten somewhat better at managing my time. Still I am uncertain how much time I have to really work on this board overall. Parts of this year were extremely chaotic and disruptive. My life has always sort of been that way, but now, this year, several different things happened at once that were uniquely bad and knocked me off of my feet. I have lived for a good while with the feeling that the rug could be pulled out from under and have to often tend to IRL matters, leaving little time for pony. On the bright side, I think I have a shot of getting it pulled together some, still, that leaves a impact on time for here in the medium term.

This update and posting spree feels like a minor miracle that is flying in under the radar between different crises. I had time to think about things and think about the board going forward. It might be a handful of minor changes, and one medium sized project that could’ve been better spaced out. My posting opportunities (due to my old friend, unstable and shaky internet and random schedule) means that I feel more comfortable doing this at a time when I have access to a more stable connection.

What are my plans going forward anyway? I don’t 100% know but I am not done with this place yet. I might not be able to do a lot but I am going to hold course. If my life is super chaotic and crazy, /endpone/ being this sort of comfy pup sounds pretty nice, as some anons have characterized the atmosphere here. Even if /endpone/'s take on that is a bit of a weird space that doesn’t fit into /mlp/'s or the old ponychan’s family boards conceptions of things. /endpone/ model hasn't failed so far.

I want to take a moment to thank all the anons here, from major players to lurkers who have never made themselves known. The cultural connections with the old /flutter/ and 8/pone/ and some immigration from the latter as well have also played a roll in this board (with /endpone/ being a sort of vague place where these old communities sometimes bump into each other.) I have always wanted to honor both better but uncertain of where to proceed on that. It is weird, but, many of the anons here who I have even distantly interacted with have I have felt a certain, IDK, a understanding that I haven’t felt in other chans, irc, comment section of blogs, forms, etc. My only theory on it is that /endpone/ draws out certain types of posters.

I part with the wise words of a friend: places matter less than the people who are make them up and that is what you should really invest in for the future. (That was at least a paraphrasing of it). So, that is something I have taken into my perspective of this place as well. If /endpone/ ever disappears (hence why bunker talk and having a personal contact point:https://twibooru.org/profiles/BridgesAndLadders albeit, WIP) tomorrow, I know that a lot of the anons in orbit here who I would certainly like to keep in touch in some form or at least hope to see again. Though I know for anons far out here a lot of us sometimes lack normal points of contact we feel comfortable sharing with the Internet and want to keep some distance (the whole point of being a anon on a normal chan and still ceremonially halfway enforced here yet not but not ponychan style... whatever we call it). I know that feeling well also. (Plus, if /endpone/ were to disappear one night and we all just had twitter contacts, th

And now I conclude my posting spree. Been fun, haven't posted like that in a long time. I know I'll read this all again in a couple of days and might find a host of spelling and other mistakes but from what I can tell now I did pretty good for rushing it.

Albeit, I did take time to compose most of the post here before today. Even if I did do some editing and adjustments.

Anyway, I guess goodnight, /endpone/. For now at least. This turned out way longer than I thought it would too and I am pretty tired.

>>8917
Yeah, you should get some rest after a posting spree like that. Especially with your 3rd world internet connection that it seems like you have.

>>8896
>>8898
These two posts alone seems like a tiring thing to have done and dug around.

>>8936
Have a couple more things to say, actually.
>Synchronized Rewatch Thread >>6985' is now launched for real. Details here: >>8889
5050 will be happy about that.

>A more formal bunker maybe set up at some point later or organized post destruction depending on circumstances (that hopefully never will come or at least be at a point when we are better prepped).
Probably should, (depending on what... yeah, I think that is CB's right?) plans are. I could see him wanting to maintain it as a continuation of 8chan's /pone/. Though frankly, any stranglers of /pone/ and /endpone/ should probably try to stcik a little closer together, in spite of differences in posting culture, /pone/ and /endpone/ do share some blood and /endpone/ is sort of the last focal point that still is fully "alive" in this region of imageboards, even if I hold out hope that /pone/ can come back with CB's determination in holding down the fort.

> Don't read this line if you don't wanna read drama-related crap.

is talking about yourself a kind of drama? So, does this mean that it is cool to avoid any kind of venting? Do you get anything in return by doing this?

> I think someone called me a script kiddie in the past. I'll call him an idiot outsider or someone who wasn't paying attention.

so I see that both of you ended up with derogatory terms. I see...

> I was never arrogant/showy/trying-to-look-cool about my endeavors.

it´s cool not to have an egocentric behaviour. On the other hand, you seem to downplay your personal thoughts by calling them crap. It raises a few doubts here.


> I was just imparting the information related to what I was doing, for various reasons, such as trying to work through a problem. I use other people's scripts if I needed to, but I think I mainly made my own code and stuff to do what I wanted to do.

so, you work on your own by approaching the issues in the most effective manner. Either you make it on your own but you also resort to using other scripts for shortening the time so that you can solve such problem.

> Another reason that that someone got the impression of "script kiddie" from me: the code I posted is fairly simple, and sometimes it is obviously in an unfinished state. Code that's simple is great, especially if it works well. Simple code means that basically anyone can understand what's happening (including myself in the future) even without comments.

so, such simplicity would induce misunderstandings because anyone could assume that it wasn´t yours.

> I did progressively make some of my code more complex, but that was only on the basis that it had to be more complex to do all that I wanted it to do. Oh, and complex code is not necessarily better. Unfinished code that "just works" is fine, updates to it might break it: same idea of version control systems like git. VCSes can also simply record what the code looked like at one point.

I may be an ignorant on the tech field when it comes to programming/coding but, as far I know, the most desirable methods that one needs to carry out are the most efficient ones. The reasons behind such selective methods are due to factors such as money and time. Considering that one only needs a PC for this (and other complementary devices), I guess that time is the defining variable that comes into play for choosing which script comes off as the most adequate for each case.

> One of the reasons I shared code is because it was useful to me (e.g., referring back to it), and it could possibly be useful to others though that wasn't my direct intention usually.

You shared it because it turned out to be successful for you. By spreading it out to other users, your idea consisted of reducing time with the help of others instead of running into troubles, right?


> It wasn't like I was trying to impress anyone with whatever I coded/programmed; I did make one or more things which I think could be useful to others and that anyone could easily use and that could be considered good/great code.

Then, you were definitely looking forward to getting more support from others in order to increase the productivity.

>>9014

yeah, I forgot about including this one >>9021

It seems that they are tracking you for what you are doing around here, by the way.

> Posters there don't seem like the type who would understand this guy's posts either.

I may not understand code nor many tech concepts (except for the basic stuff) but I do know how these social situations play out. I am leaving some food for thought that maybe should be taken into account before you get to dismiss your own standpoint entirely.

>>9021
>Are you really sure that what you have expressed here is crap and a waste of time?
What I posted isn't crap per se. I was thinking it was crap because the OP of /go/ said to not make drama posts, which can also be off topic or not getting any work done.

>However, let´s assume that you manage to meet your intended objectives, what´s left for you after pulling it off?
Takes a while for me to complete some things, sometimes due to reasons outside of my control. If I do finish current objectives, there's still lots of things to do.

>don´t get what´s so cool about playing the macho man
How am I doing that? I disliked recent changes to 4chan or /mlp/, so I left. Also left due to disliking how ephemeral threads are. I said why I left in the other thread.

>>9023
> I was thinking it was crap because the OP of /go/ said to not make drama posts, which can also be off topic or not getting any work done

hence why I would relocate such topic over here.

However, the thread would itself not to become as strict as it was announced back then. Mostly because we had no idea how it was going to pan out.

Ironically enough, users and OP himself have already made posts over there that tackle said matters if they happen to be related to them. Given the recent changes for that thread and the unexpected relevance that it has gained, especially due to the recent events, I don´t blame such sudden shift in the philosophy. Nobody had a clear idea how to approach it.


> Takes a while for me to complete some things, sometimes due to reasons outside of my control.

well, they do indeed take some time. Actually, everything does. Who´s telling you to put the blame on you whenever outside factors come into play? Those are expected to happen at some point.

> If I do finish current objectives, there's still lots of things to do.

you sound like me. If you hold on to such philosophy, you may not get such awaited sense of fulfilment.
If productivity is all you care about, results may be found. Heart-warming ones may not be included among them.


> How am I doing that?

by presenting your thoughts as if they were crap, there lies the problem.

> I disliked recent changes to 4chan or /mlp/, so I left.

and what are you planning to do here, by the way? What drove you to take such decision besides your own objectives?

> Also left due to disliking how ephemeral threads are. I said why I left in the other thread.

ephemeral...

we wouldn´t have expected this board to last for so long. You complain about threads that are fleeting in nature, this board exists due to the expectation of being ephemeral in its entirety, not ever-lasting.

I guess that you have traded those ephemeral threads for a more ephemeral experience in general, heh...

>>9023
>reasons outside of my control.
Story of my life.

>>9021
>meandering about personal stuff isn´t exactly frowned upon because it has allowed the board to move forward.
Correct, it is not always the prime subject but it is something that comes up quite naturally in this place when there are too few anons to hind behind a true vail of anonymity. Hence why a lot of our discussions are a bit all over the place and such.

>>9026
>However, the thread would itself not to become as strict as it was announced back then. Mostly because we had no idea how it was going to pan out.

Not to contradict you here,
>>3148
>Golden Oaks is not for the simple dissuasion of the latest scandal within the fandom or gossip about X. These subjects maybe relevant at times in the discussion of certain happenings and periods within the fandom, but the thread itself shouldn't dive into drama without reason.
The debate that has happened in the past is when/what crosses that threshold and you are right that I had to be a bit less restrictive than what I thought it was going to be when I went in but I still consider it in force. For example, in my attempts to chronological any timeline for Ponychan (lol) I couldn't cleanly ignore it. As for that thread, yeah, still good to err a bit on the side of caution but that warning was in place to prevent it from becoming just simply another place on the internet to air out dirty laundry and fighting over subjects covered or lolcows. When in doubt, it would be fine to post such a observations in here or >>5562


>we wouldn´t have expected this board to last for so long. You complain about threads that are fleeting in nature, this board exists due to the expectation of being ephemeral in its entirety, not ever-lasting.
Philosophically ephemeral is different than the function of threads being that way though. Functionally, /endpone/ threads are very long lasting. We, especially in our earlier days, knew the plug might be pulled it'd be game over and adapted a why worry attitude As for philosophically, would I still describe /endpone/ as ephemeral? I have no idea. Taking some small steps to stay around and archiving things certainly is a bit in contrast I admit. Just mentioning this because I think his complaint is separate from your observation.

>>9020
>, as far I know, the most desirable methods that one needs to carry out are the most efficient ones
Define efficiency. There is a bunch of people being led with a carrot and a stick running through whatever trendy new thing and trying to puff up and attack anything else in order to feel important and cutting edge and oldschool pros that hate everything outside of Unix, C, and simple tools. Both are wrong by the way.

>>9035
You forget the contrarians and perfectionist of certain niche ideas various other things that are " this is real programing". Some of which go mainstream and new and some of which stay forever cool but never 100% mainstream.

Still, not a bad oversimplification.

Just putting this out there. I have hardly watched any of the secondary G4 stuff that has been put out. Impressions have been a little mixed from what I have seen but I probably ought to dig into it sometime.

>>9060
It ranges from just "okay" to slightly good tier. It is nothing spectacular and sometimes a bit off putting too. Like that 3D experimental Pinkie short from a few years back.

>>9059
Well, I could go all the way back to the Unix Haters Handbook and be a true OG and contrarian.
>he uses C
Though considering the push against C from Rust, maybe that just makes me half way towards doing what the industry wants?

>>9078
>industry wants.
There is another path forth.
Or you could use raw JS without frameworks. That would piss off "real programers" and perhaps some of those who build their careers on stuff like react.

Endchan briefly went out for some reason this morning (or whenever it was, was morning for me in my timezone). I have only gotten this error once before, lol, and it has been awhile.


I guess, PoLS for now. Still lots I have to reply to but I am out of steam. Goodnight /endpone/!

>>9098
The site still goes off fairly regularly, doesn't it? I am not even the most regular visitor here and I see several at a times at the wrongthink bunker or whatever it's called. At least these have often been hours, or half a day, as opposed to the horror of several days a time and sometimes losing the images like in the not so good old days.

The reason not much appears to be happening, is that the End is letting posts fall off the cliff.

Finally got three files to upload. Post disappeared, which usually means on the next update it will show as a post in the thread.

Two minutes later, no post. Although, in attempting to stick a 2MB .flv file to this post, I was told that filetype isn't allowed. Which is closer to success than I've been since starting this...

Guess I need to get these old .flv files and FFmpeg together before I can share them here.

Hello!
We are having our yearly Endchan Christmas Special Marathon on the 26th. You guys are invited as well. Here's the feature list: >>>/operate/18938

Depends on your definition. 2-3 times yearly for sure. Such cases.

>>9121

I'm not sure what you mean. It works for me (tm).

Some upload movs but that doesn't play in browsers. Better stick to .webm and .mp4 (h264 codec).

A PoLS of sorts. Happy Hearth's Warming and Merry Christmas! Let's hope this year is safe and fun with a nice gift or two! and not Rarity crying in eating loads of ice cream while Last Christmas plays on loop... the Jimmy Eats World cover... IDK, for some reason the local radio station has been playing it a lot. Yes, really, I still listen to radio sometimes.

Endchan has always been a bit persnickety, but I would say it has been a slow upward climb in both usability and stability. I know the feeling of Endchan eating my posts too, though.

It hasn't happened to me in awhile but sometimes the site does "eat" posts.

Merry Christmas to y'all!

Twibooru is down.

8chan.moe is down.

LOL, bunker and emergency contact point both down at the same time. Both were temp/whatever right now measures but I probably should be looking at other options for one at least one of those.

Hope everypony had a happy heartswarming!

>>9134
Happy Hearth's Warming.

>Yes, really, I still listen to radio sometimes.
Fitting.

>Down sites and bunkers
From my experience as well, booth those places are down sporadically but not horribly. I don't visit 8chan[dot moe]that often though.

>8kun
Wow, I forget that the last son of /pone/ is still there doggedly holding that place and keeping it alive. Kudos to him. It'd posting there horrible though? I know I have had trouble pposting even in plain old vanilla internet.

>self hosting
Cheap VPS often suck, but are aplenty and for a place as small as this, might be feasible for use, I say might because of the old rule of lurkers to posters, 1:10 ratio. if there 10 regular anons (say, anons who at least post a few times a year) there still could be is at least 100 lurkers--more realistically, no more than 10 or 20. I do see this board mentioned sometimes elsewhere and noted as being weird, but not quite in a negative way so you do need to take that into account.

My main concern on hosting something like that would be clop, If bridgefag was actually mad enough to try that I would recommend being at least a little bit on the restrictive side just from potential legal and political reasons you never know whom might wish to hurt you one day /endpone/ is a bit more SFW in practice anyway so it isn't like it would be that different.

<VPN blocked
<Tor not working
Happy Hearth's Warming to you anon. I am not sure you'll see it here, but I know some of /pone/ does loosely hang in orbit around here.

I hope to do my normal postings around here but some stuff that has come up that might need my attention and still want to acknowledge New Years at least. This marks /endpone/ 6 years into its current incarnation and I am certainly in disbelief at it. Think, there are places, sites with their own cultures and customs that exist that are younger than here. /endpone/ ain't ancient but it feels it is like from some odd twilight point in the fandom when a sense of death was sweeping everything and things were contracting more heavily with the fears of FiM's oncoming end.

>>9139
>holiday message.
Good, /)

As for cheap VPS', yeah, that has been a consideration that I have weighed the pros and cons of. (Paranoia over my name being ever tied and the possible issues if it actually had to serve as more then just a bunker being the main negatives).

>>9147
>>9148
>last son of /pone/
I wouldn't say he is the only one. I think there are a few who sort of hang around... and you just replied to said anon just now.

Yeah, mad respect to CB for holding out there. He stayed far past the point when I would've. Now, while the experience isn't quit buttery smooth I can say the site has improved. even if it still has it's issues with VPNs and Tor at times.

6 years and it seems that the board is entering into a new phase. We take all these years for granted but it´s ironic that the bloom of this board happened at an unusual time in the fanbase´s history.

Perhaps other users have more to deliver at this point by either archiving material, by discussing a bit the 5th generation, longposts related to specific matters, discussion about the fanfics that are presented over here, sharing videos/webm, adding a new banner or just posting whatever image anyone feels like doing at the time.

I hope that all of you are having fun with the experience around here. Who knows how long it might last? Never take this ride for granted, otherwise regrets can be felt in hindsight.

As for me, I don´t believe that I can contribute all that much to the board. I have been taking a break from this project in the meantime. However, even if I stick around behind the scenes, I am still doing my part but said actions are much subtler in practice.


Another chapter /ends/ and a new one is around the corner.

I guess that it´s up to all of you to get the spotlight around here.
I am just posting this reply for delivering some evidence of my existence around this board.


See you in 2024, /endpone/.

Fireworks is already shooting off some where I live, New Year's is still a ways away in Texas. It is something that is haunting all the same. 2023... well, I'll admit it was kind of slow and not the best year ever, but, I can't say it was the worst.


I hope all of you anons out there, L23, CB, Archiver, YT, 5050, BO, the various /flutter/ and 8/pone/ anons who sometimes peak in here, among other lurkers and posters, have a happy and 2024. Hopefully the illegal fireworks don't do as much damage as pic related!

>As per tradition

I actually had several neurons bump into each other as I napped, that I should come by and write a verse in rhyme, as if I was rapping about the new year rolling over,
one verse for each time zone, once per hour on the hour starting about ... 20 minutes ago?

But now that I've finished waking up, I realize there are several problems with that: I won't be able to just disappear to my computer for long enough, often enough, to look for vaguely suitable images, plus the rhymes floating through my sleep-addled brain were nonsense.

There was also the day the magic died, which I posted the whole of as a .zip file in an old chat or nmaie thread.

There was also an inverted 'friendship is betrayal' comic that ended about a dozen comics in, roughly the beginning/early-middle of season 2

More of mid-tier weird than a nightmare to fear.

I wonder if some "prompt engineering" could improve upon these? At least with the results that were gotten here: >>8663, >>8865

>>9887
>The first two are from an E621-trained checkpoint, so okay, fair point.
To be fair, E621 looked like it was trying to give it, just too weird and anthro for your request. Not that I hate anthro, RIP twentypercentcooler.

>I also tried, since Equestria-at-war calls them thestrals, for a thestral equine - 3rd image.
Silhouette horse.

> Switched to the v6 pony-trained (derpi? I forget now) checkpoint, using the term bat-pony again, same everything else and get this 4th image ... along with several brightly colored but recognizable bat ponies
I am curious on what short of quirk would cause bat ponies to be associated with sunsets and vivid colors.

>>9920
>More of mid-tier weird than a nightmare to fear.
Only the second one looks off to me. The others just are not what he requested and have typical slight AI strangeness but aren't creepy.

> "prompt engineering"
That is some impressive Seapony results, though.

So it seems...that the board has been facing some """issues""" for the 10k GET.

If someone provided us some assistance for moderating this mess, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for cleaning it up.

Feel welcome to post here at anytime if both you and Odilitime want to join us at some point.

No one should mess up with the dedication and love that other users have provided over here for years...

You guys I take a nap for the afternoon and all tartarus comes out to barf on the board? What kind of botched spell did you do?

Apparently stolen! No matter, a 10K Scarred Cadance post will still come, even if not at 10K.

Seconded.

I already have some defenses in place for years. No more than 2 new threads can be posted per hour for example so nothing gets bumped to oblivion. Not that I won't take a look over the settings again.

Okay, the threads that were bumped seem completely random. From moderately inactive generals to VERY old pages like these, >>36, >>94 Now sitting in the middle of page 2. I assume some of the recent threads have also been "bumped" by whoever this was because they are mixed inbetween these older threads with /go/ the way down on page 3 now.

The only posts from these posting spree that might remain from this spam at this moment are:
>>9968

>>9940
>i mean, were all posting ponies here, but ok
>>9965

Now, these post might not be from said spammer, but I assume they are. From what I can glean, IDK. I just wanted to point it out for the record.

Anons from soyjak.party were accelerating post generation to get the 10K GET.
They have a getwatcher and do this across boards and chans, like sportschan did, well still do occasionally. It could be annoying but they are harmless.

>>10023
Thanks for the information. Simple GET shenanigans I see!

>>10022
>Might too be some sort of awkward raid, where everypony is too shy to leave their mark where we can laugh at it.
I have also seen the inverse too. A site or chan with raids with a lot of incomprehensible memes and injokes that are lost on everyone and it fails to leave a mark a certain sports themed chan comes to mind.

> /pone/ - Cadance's Domain

> A board for discussing all things animated horse. Especially Cadance!

I guess that we will have to invite her for a special visit. The Royal Sisters have already visited the place several times so maybe it's time to give her a pleasant time around here.

>>10095
I think Cadance would love it! She might take her daughter along as well.

It would be a good place to hide should Sombra show his ugly face again.

>>10096
Not that Cadnace couldn't kill him, or if captured, go into a gothic moody teenager phase and drive him mad, of course, BUT it is always good to have Seaquestria as backup option, and otherwise, a nice place to visit (and maybe stay, I'm looking at you Scootaloo!)

Hope everypony enjoyed April Fools! I did. Decided to give people a break from the pink (but can bring that back anytime by popular demand). Sidenote: missed opportunity with spoilers with pic related.

Speaking of April Fools: seems like a lot of places don't do April Fools jokes anymore. I see some grumbling and backlash to them in certain conorns (both Twitter style, UR NOT TAKING EVERy mOMEmnt SeriousLY and cyclical wojacs). I can understand backlash at times or not caring for the crescendo of sites bending or breaking functionality for a day all for a joke, but I still overall am I fan of them.

well, this will either prove fun or boring.
Someone on 8ch either doesn't like ponies or is just trolling for giggles.

Have tried space-marining me off the board. An open board is like a fortress...with its gates unbarred, and unguarded.

Or something. Finally seeing a tiny use for the horrible abominations Stable Diffusion creates.

That incident was misguided ambition. This one was simple laziness. You are right in your assessment of some trolls personalities and motivations though.

CB, have a message for ya on twi. Been having some medical stuff going on. Doing okay. More of a mystery than a imminent concern (mostly).

Happy 4th of July to all anons who celebrate!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15R6Qv5PZqE&pp=ygUKb3ZlciB0aGVyZQ%3D%3D
Random unpony related video, both patriotic and slightly comical depending on how far you go with the US invading everywhere meme.

Neighbors still think it is the Fourth of July... I don't mind the noise other than trying to find a certain family member's cat. Still, overall, my 4th was happy, if quieter and less celebratory than normal personally, due to a mix of things including partly:>>10531 the medical thing.

Hmmmmmm... stuck staying up, and actually here. Can I do anything with this combination?

Drove down to the edge of town which, despite the lack of elevation, offered a view of several near-professional displays, you could just see the professional ones behind some trees, and the locals were gathered at the same wide spot setting off all their stuff.

I don't actually like the noise but the lights, enthusiasm, it's come be a major encouragement as the woke-crowd fights against everything American, and we Americans politely proceed to ignore the everloving crap out of them.

Also I can't remember how the tune to Yankie Doodle went, thought now is the time to remind you he rode to town on a little pony

>>10612
>offered a view of several near-professional displays, you could just see the professional ones behind some trees, and the locals were gathered at the same wide spot setting off all their stuff.
Neat! Sometimes growing up we'd luck out and see stuff at the military base right near where I lived, albeit this no longer happens now.

>we Americans politely proceed to ignore the everloving crap out of them.
I'd make an argument that the woke have somewhat fractured and some people with those traits weirdly take up some of this, but that is probably too political for right now. At least too long winded for my mind, lol

>but the lights, enthusiasm
Same, I think, noise is a bit much but I do dig the spirit of it all.

To any certain contacts whom I have communications elsewhere, I bridgefag am fine, just a minor tech mishap.

Days ago I watched some mostly biographical video about the life of German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. It said that he yearned to be loved and desired love from women but never really got any. That part of his story is sad or unfortunate for him. Do you desire to be in a loving relationship? Can't say that's been a priority or focus in my life. I was going to tie this Nietzsche detail into the below text (contrast it with a priority/desire of mine), but this post is long enough already.

>>9020
I kinda don't remember if I replied to this post in another thread or not, but I was thinking about this situation recently so I'll reply (maybe again).

> >>9014
Post >>9014 is about programming, posts, and self knowledge.

>> Don't read this line if you don't wanna read drama-related crap.
> is talking about yourself a kind of drama?
!wt: drama, n. 5. "(slang, uncountable) Rumor, lying or exaggerated reaction to life or online events; melodrama; an angry dispute or scene; a situation made more complicated or worse than it should be; intrigue or spiteful interpersonal maneuvering." It was drama-related. Talking about oneself can be a moment in a larger drama.

> So, does this mean that it is cool to avoid any kind of venting? Do you get anything in return by doing this?
I guess you get even more bottled up or pent up anger. https://anonfilly.horse/ = "Likes: [...] Videogames", "Dislikes: [...] Videogames". I can understand that. I play a video game called tint-tetris and it makes me pissed off, but I also kinda like it (Tetris). It makes me have such angry thoughts and also destructive thoughts. Makes me think about shit which made me angry and I become full of hate. That I sometimes or often think back to that event or similar events makes me think I have unresolved issues that I perhaps have to address or talk about one or multiple times.

>> I think someone called me a script kiddie in the past. I'll call him an idiot outsider or someone who wasn't paying attention.
> so I see that both of you ended up with derogatory terms. I see...
What you must understand is that I suspected that guy of being this one guy whom I fucking despise. He had no good faith and was a complete cunt. He continually insulted me beyond what was "necessary". I don't feel bad of treating someone on par with how they treated me. I tried to be accommodating and kind and understanding, but got not a shred of understanding or kindness from him. After a point there is no getting along or any mutual understanding. Fuck him and everyone he cares about. Hope he gets raped by a pack of wild niggers, lulz. Even knowing that I once moreso shared a website with him was somewhat sickening.

Woah, I was looking for that seapony Celestia image. Did you repost that image from Golden Oaks general where I think I first posted it? Seems to be a scaled-down version compared to what I remember.

>>11214
>was going to tie this philosopher detail into the below text
Will do that in this post. So it seems what I desire out of life is at least a minimal level of respect or acceptance and maybe also recognition for my work. Not looking to be showered in praise. I have had users appreciate my work in the past (as they communicated with me). Would be nice for users to participate moreso in the stuff I care about or data I have shared. Also not looking to be rejected or insulted. Reminds me of some things that I heard from a specific piece of media, also something this one 4chan anon said (IIRC). That anon said something like "if you keep participating in something which makes you sad then maybe the real faggot is you." In that specific media, this was said: [insert here].

I think this falls under the umbrella category of "being recognized by your peers" maybe also "leaving a legacy" or "changing the world for the better". Does admitting this about myself make open up a vulnerability? Does it make me more easily manipulated or trolled? Probably yes to both questions. I remember opening up about something in the past, and I basically regretted that move.

Just a stupid test for something later, carry on anons.

I didn´t have much to say, honestly. I feel tired too and I find myself already in 2025. I will try to stick around so that I can check that all of you get to synchronise your countdowns. Europe has already fulfilled that task so, now it´s the turn for the other side of the Atlantic ocean.

>>11462
>>11463
>1 hour off on the time,

Nope, you absolutely nailed it (when it comes to Spain save the Canary Islands). Unless that you were referring to Portugal, the UK and a handful of countries in Africa, the timezone was actually correct for that reply.

So, don´t be so hard on yourself on that. There is absolutely no need to feel that way.

New year, AI is old - I'm still between jobs.
It's less than 6PM on the left coast, and neighbors are already setting off veritable dynamite sticks. Though now that one neighbor passed away, the friend that had literal dynamite won't be celebrating right here that way.

>>11465
>New year, AI is old - I'm still between jobs.
Drat on the latter part of that news. even if it gives a break in a sense, less income, especially in that region, can make things unsteady even with stuff being relatively okay.

Very noisy down in Texas as well, though no dynamite, sometimes gunfire though!

Awesome, this New Years started out rather lonely but I still had fun. A local show of illegal fireworks as always! I also enjoyed posting here and casually hanging out with a couple of friends online elsewhere. This New Years may not be a blast, but I cannot complain all things considered!


As for 2025 and /endpone/. I know not what the future hols for our little board, but I intend to at least take a future precautions and and make some modest improvements. My medical issues are still a present threat to things though.


Again, Happy New Years Everyone, from longtime poster to first time lurkers, I wish y'all well and hope this upcoming year is one to hope and not to fear! Boy, I love this old image, being reedited every yea and I see it posted around.

One more post...

Me and my father actually had 3D printer problems around last New Years with a ancient early generation 3D printer he had been using off and on for years. It wouldn't respond and while he ended up buying a cheap Endyr 3 (my brain not spelling this right probably) we did look into replacing the board outright with an Arduino board controlling the motors itself. Don't know how feasible that is as an option there but might be something to look into.

Okay, now goodnight!

Need to dick the CMC down so good. Who's got sexy fillies art? I'm in the mood to see that little whore Apple Bloom get filled up!

Been sick for awhile and just finally getting out of it. Given me some time to reflect. Though nothing profound has yet to manifest in the form of pony related words (I have written some bits of fanfiction, but only scraps of fics).

Seapony designs still impress me, just wanted to note that.

Dolores Umbridge is feeling smug again for some reason, hopefully the communism doesn't return!

We did/still do. See back in the 1.5 update:>>8Bunker: In the event of Endchan being wiped off the face of the earth, flee to here for now: https://8chan.moe/pone It is not a continuation of /endpone/ but a general bunker/secondary pony board held under friendly hooves.

https://8chan.moe/pone/res/231.html#231

Between sickness, random site outages and being unable to post/update things, word never got and a organized effort was never launched. Need to put more prominent instructions and contact points (like, I really need to revamp the site instructions on the top).

> Thought this place was dead, but, seeing this, is /pone/ back? Do we have a chance?
It might, but the site barely usable to not usable for three months has certainly left me shaken a bit I admit. Not going to give up on it though.

Good for this place to not be pic related for once.

>>12004
>(like, I really need to revamp the site instructions on the top).
Critical thinking too. Some chan boards died after a couple of incidents like this even with the best laid plans. Others thrived with no good plan in spite of chaos. I think this /pone/ is sort of impotent as it is the last community that holds some fragment of 8chan's /pone/ even if it is culturally very different and not quite a simple continuation or successor.

You need to study your predecessors and fellow pony boards and see what worked and what didn't.

>>12014
>Good for this place to not be pic related for once.
Yeah, that was a wild ride.

>impotent
Yeah, we are hapless to stop things, aren't we? LOL!
>as it is the last community that holds some fragment of 8chan's /pone/ even if it is culturally very different and not quite a simple continuation or successor.
I get what you mean though. Some of the anons there refereed to us as our faggy cousins. I don't think you should count 8chan/pone quite out yet. One brave anon who I happen to is guarding the place diligently should if/when somepony returns.

>You need to study your predecessors and fellow pony boards and see what worked and what didn't.
That is a good idea. As a survival strategy I am going to put up better directions at least. A small a few wondering what happened to us and evidently the lurkers and thread specific posters (despite the small population, we do sort of have those) didn't know anything about where to turn to.

>>12028

Need to do some clean up and construction for sure. Sorry for the relative low key blink if you'll miss it April Fools. Just kind of snuck up on me, >>12020. I tried to quickly whip up some CSS for it but... lol, it was scary but probably too annoying for keeping the site functional. probably should've just sticked with the Nightmare Moon theme again this year.

>>12026
>Some of the anons there refereed to us as our faggy cousins.
Forgot quotes, no, we are the ones being refered to as the faggy cousins by 8chan's/pone/.

>>12030
>was scary but probably too annoying for keeping the site functional.
This scares me because I have seen you trying to edit CSS before.

>>12028
I forget there is a guy guarding that place still. One of the anons here, right?

Did a little clean up. Though prepping for a relaunch of /go/ and minor maintenance already I am going to be a bit more watchful here. There is a chance that we will have some random anons stumbling in from remembering our existence or googling us if 4chan is down for more than a day or two.

>>12034
>CSS
Yeah, I'll admit that can be pretty scary.

>>12040
I hope you're doing well, CB. I am... errr, starting to turn around a bit in some situations. Still cautious.

>>12040
I just forgot that someone was there still holding down the fort. Mad respect considering what that site has become. Do you think you might have a shot with this current calamity?

>>12041
Smart precaution. Some anons do know of this place's existence. Haven't seen it be mentioned yet in the options on /mlpol/ and /nhhb/ but if it does get mentioned a risk of some refugees coming in is there, because of discontent with the restrictions on EQG, and other shit. I think the discontent is partly justified as a lot of /mlp/ anons are just being asshats with how hyper factional they are with each other but you should be still ready to contain things if 10x stupid fetish generals come up or if you guys get too overrun with barbiefags

Dolores UmBRIDGE must reign over every last board. Through posters blood, honor what was before!

I am retarded and just had a few lines in my head of an /endpone/ anthem while I was not browsing 4chan. Based on the Helldivers 2 Super Earth Anthem. I did try to give this a go. Acknowledging board history and board memes even if I am not sure I understand them all well. Now though I don't know where to go or how to further /endponer/ it.

>>12045
Exact reasons why I put the 4chan thread up in the first place. To help mitigated that risk and noting very upfront (we have a sticky, but people often don't read stickies well) that we are a bit different.

>accidentally hit post.
Goodness, is this our official ideology name?
>Based bridgeoracy is the true path. All who resist will face our wrath.

I am not too familiar with Helldivers but this is a pretty good attempt at writing up an anthem in an /endpone/ context. I amused and impressed. Good job with what you have here, /)

Since this is where I see others posting snapshots of the board's front page. I will post this here. Weird seeing /b/ on top here.

Been going through something of a personal crisis at the moment. I know /endpone/ is more bloggy than other places but stuff of this tier I usually keep to myself. I almost feel like doing _something_ with it but I don't know what. Hehehe, I make no promises of anything cool but I just feel like posting rambling and strange posts. SOme Umbridge of an art project there amidst the exhaustion.

I hope and pray everypony out there is doing well. Even anons who I have only crossed paths ever briefly due pop into my mind from time to time.

Dumping thoughts. I have something of a softspot for comics and other media made from just editing scenes of the show. Especially when they are slightly higher effort like pic related. Yet, I don't really consume or study them all that much. Just a passing appreciation. There is part of me that may want to make or so something by diving into one of the larger ones (like the forever running Friendship is Dragons) but for the moment that is more of a pipe dream.

My status is still a little iffy, but better than earlier maybe. I hope everyone out there is doing well.

>>12138
Thanks. I hope whatever crises for you finally subside.

>>12138
I've always thought stuff like that was low effort but I do like some show style vectors on their own. In fairness, I don't think I ever looked over comics like that often, so maybe some have good writing or something that would make up for it.

PoLS and happy summer everypony!

>>12142
I used to be of a similar opinion but they gradually grew on me. I'm not calling them perfect or the best, certainly a lot of trash and a lot is just middling to average, but some stuff speaks to me for whatever reason. I suspect it's my nostalgia for the show's style and my dislike of the uniformity of where some art styles have gone both twitter artist and the AI they hate may play a role but I still started to have this positive feeling towards some of that before some of that really set in.

Thanks for the well wishes! I hope you are doing well yourself.

Happy 4th of July to all who celebrate!

MRIs are fun... Bleh, depending on what it finds may mean i am very active hear soon or not.

PoLS

So, there is this thing. Though I have only taken a brief peak around, from what I have seen and the words of a friend, everywhere from twitter to the old online bastions are filled with significant and understandable skepticism to this project. My skepticism is medium high. I mean
>Amazon
>On the heals of mindcraft movie
Those two factors enough mean there is a pretty high chance of it being corporate and soulless in a way that probably would merit Generation 5 an apology or two from some of it's more radical haters. We are so early in development though it could easily get canned at some point depending on events in the world.

Another big factor: China, might loom large on this. I keep hearing about how big the fandom is there. I wonder if things would be made to be geared towards that too? Only issue is the increasingly tumultuous relationship between China and the United States has kind of made the "bet big on China" model a risky proposition compared to even 5 or 6 years ago.

>>12170
every live-action adaptation has been terrible. Also China, which is terrible.
Though the BilliBilli vids that filter through are cute, but I don't think I'd pay to see this movie.

>>12171
>every live-action adaptation has been terrible.
Agreed. I don't know if the worst case scenario is some sort of ponies in earth setting or humans in Equestria filled with uncanny CGI that may or may not be cartoonish whimsical or channeling the "live action" Lion King adaption.

>Also China, which is terrible.
I think China has a small, small sliver of a chance of making the movie less bad, but them jumping through hoops to look good/get past the censors in the Chinese market probably would digest me.

>but I don't think I'd pay to see this movie.
I am officially in wait till I know more but 95% chance I think it's going to be something of the above and thus in a similar boat.

>>12172
>I think China has a small, small sliver of a chance of making the movie less bad

It's interesting, what catches on in other countries/cultures.

If they'd just hire an administrator and pull in the best of the fan works, we could build a gen6 to be proud of.

Why do the Chinese NEETs care so much?

>>12172
I feel like I might be in the minority but I think HiE is better than PiE. Because there is a chance that the movie could still be somewhat whimsical and at least trying to be fun over POP CULTURE! Say what you want about the Minecraft Movie, it's shit but at least it had fun being MINDCRAFT! in a way that was better than X cartoon character in the real world scenarios have.

>>12173
>If they'd just hire an administrator and pull in the best of the fan works, we could build a gen6 to be proud of.
Hasbro has killed most of their creative team and is hot water and they don't have much to lose at this point but I feel like we are going to go through a phase of retarded cash grab boomer focus groups first before we see anything truly good and Hasbro may die and then some fans might actually make a horse franchise that is worthy spiritual successor that can easily get away with almost copyright infringing characters.

PoLS again.

Had to pump somethings. Headache.

>>12175
>Say what you want about the Minecraft Movie, it's shit but at least it had fun being MINDCRAFT! in a way that was better than X cartoon character in the real world scenarios have.
I haven't seen the Minecraft Movie, so I can vouch for it, but I do agree there is logic of Equestria being the spectacle and thing to react to versus Earth. One has a chance for some soul. Though with Hasbro post G4 it has been mostly done by marketing committee. The failure of Transformers: One, a movie that was more closer to what the fans of Transformers had wanted, probably doesn't bound well for us.

>>12174
I had seen a lot of art work of that by western artist, but this wants me to checkout who is making art of that and seeing if a lot is from china. I need to get better at checking the non-english speaking fandoms!

I hope (and am unironically praying) for everyone and everypony out there to be doing okay.

Stream of consciousness, happens when I am tired.

Working on several posts. Just wanted to make an anniversary post here in /NMAiE/ just to note this event in this thread. Plus, I find this image funny that it has Mane 6, Princesses, + Cheerilee. Random choice to fill out the roster there (probably should be Spike) but I enjoy that randomness all the same.

>>12377
Three way civil war, Princess Celestia with Twilight and Rarity. Princess Luna with Fluttershy and Pinkie PIe, and Cheerilee with Applejack and Rainbow Dash.

Who would win? My bet is on Princess Celestia just because of unicorn Twilight, but Luna has the higher combat potential of the princesses. Cheerilee would be some random usurper without magic or much support, so I don't know why Rainbow Dash or Applejack would side with her.

>>12381
Come to think of it, it would make more sense for Fluttershy and Pinkie to be part of a 3rd faction if it was some sort of "stop the war plz" effort.

Starting to have Hearth's Warming on my mind, slightly.

Might open a new thread or two before New Years, if I am organized enough. This are minor threads. Will explain later.

Hmmmm....Truth be told my mind is drained from some minor family difficulties someone having me help them pack and organize stuff. He moves rather sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowly and it takes the whole day. 3rd day of it. Otherwise my status is alright.

Pony posting purposefully powerful peculiar pictures.

Tried to put up a Hearth's Warming/Christmas message but the pictures wouldn't post. I suspect it is something on my /end/ with one of the pictures. As sometimes endchan rejects them. Will try again later. for whatever formatting reason

Testing 1.2.3 testing.

Just deleted a previous post of mine. Image didn't post. Not the main problem. I wasn't sure if me mentioning the recent mirror spamming attack contained any keywords that would trigger crap from bots. Like mentioning a email address even partly censored just the address mentioned in post like this >>12450 . Considering what happened last year, I hope we don't have any sort of repeat. Thanks to admin/mods of /endchan/ and boardvole of here who probably dealt with this.

Another year, another chance to leave a celebratory reply around here.

Not much activity in endpone from my part, is it? This year has mostly been carried by the owner, 5050 and CB.

I suppose that the latter might recall what I am linking around here for tonight´s event.

I am leaving you to the main discourses of y´all to shine. Not much to say on my /end/ other than making my mark before the party even begins.

For now, take care ...which is a true gift on its own...

PoLS, currently healing from a foot wound. That and a sick relative has somewhat limited festivities at the moment. I might give a small Christmas storytime but for now, Merry Christmas and Happy Hearth's Warming to everyone and everypony out there.

I cut my foot on the lid of a can. (I was trying to make a raspberry pi case from a old food can, lol) It bled a lot and long story short, couldn't get it to stop. By the urgent care doctor saw me it had finally clotted but my sock was soaked with blood. Now I am doing okay, if not fatigued and I'll admit it is interesting to be out at 2 AM on Christmas.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm... Any further holiday messages can I muster? Heh, we shall see. For now, once again Happy Hearth's Warming to everyone (and Merry Christmas).

>>12465
> currently healing from a foot wound.It bled a lot and long story short, couldn't get it to stop.
>That and a sick relative has somewhat limited festivities at the moment.

That defines a...less than ideal way to celebrate Christmas. If I were to add a slice of sad relief/humour to it, it´s that these kinds of incidents happen more often than people are willing to admit in public.

Here, viruses are spreading out all over the place and I have info on people I know who have been dealing with the influenza, potentially making their relatives sick by pretending not to be sick in public.

No wonder you feel fatigued though, spilling blood like that may lead to headaches or some minor struggles because of it. So, even with that optimism, maybe it wouldn´t be wise to overlook the aftermaths so fast with a happy-go-lucky tone.

>>12469
>So, even with that optimism, maybe it wouldn´t be wise to overlook the aftermaths so fast with a happy-go-lucky tone.
Yeah, far from ideal, but the suffering level wasn't 'too high. I have been doing better and I think I'll live. My main worry is my father who I think pushed himself way too far after surgery and is has been running a fever off and on for over a week. Haven't really gone into all the complexities with that here, just know that could make my life pretty complicated too.

>>12470
> My main worry is my father who I think pushed himself way too far after surgery and is has been running a fever off and on for over a week.

It´s very telling that concerns are instantly switched up from you as soon as it´s somewhat but not completely under control.

Without diminishing the problem in question in the slightest, it´s somewhat uncommon to not put oneself at the forefront while reporting the evolution of issues of this kind. Understandable and noble on your /end/ indeed...but a subtle detail worth pointing out nonetheless.

Well, with that attempt to uplift some fans out there, the background noise of the fireworks and momentum are catching up over here. 4 hours before reaching the /end/ and...well, what can I say?

Whilst it´s true that my absence has been almost absolute from my part, this wouldn´t prevent me from glancing at the board behind the scenes, even if it´s for maintenance purposes of monitoring it. I do believe that, given the lack of drive to engage with the board as well as any new ideas, contributions should be approached on a longer term than just fuelling the dopamine rush that we all get from the internet over and over again.

Whilst boring for many, I think that instead of spamming images like a fool, it was best to spend that energy on systematically taking care of the tags that feed this community. It´s just that I posted the achievements >>12459 of this yearly exercise last week without communicating the small updates. It would become quite a boring chore to do that around here. Apologies to those who awaited for my presence this year but...there were other matters to take care of from a personal perspective...but the support is there, just less celebratory/noisy.

Well, I can predict that Bridgefag, CB and maybe someone else are setting up the party for later posts that will get greater spotlight when the time comes.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=OmOlx1wpmlQ [Embed]

One final push. Just a little more before the party comes.

See you on the other side,endpone. Just don´t forget to rest in order to deliver the last hurrah of the year for closing it on a worthwhile note.

Cheers,

A user from 2017.

>>12476
A very good point. That is weird to think about because I remember back in 2012 people thinking interest would die by before the show was even over. 2019 was some hypothetical apocalypse that never happened. I am uncertain of the state of things. Some places and subgroups still seem to be doing well and others are still enduring a slow die off, but I am certainly surprised, that 5 years from MLP's /end/, what places are still here. I'm surprised we're still here! I am thankful to the Lord that I have gotten to know some of the people here and that we are still somehow chugging along. Even if I am uncertain what my roll is here or what do with the mix of things I've wanted to do.

I think that ought to prompt some other reflections as well, though my mind is unable to from exhaustion. Maybe later.

Happy New Year /endpone/! I'll hopefully be back later, but in case I'm not, let me continue with tradition:

I didn't do fireworks, but as per usual, my city put up quite the illegal fireworks show around me. A bit scary this time, more stuff right next to where I live and some debris was hitting the front yard.

I hope you have a good time with fireworks. I think it's 11 something now in y'all's timezone (if my brain is functioning right).

May the bridges stay crossed and Cadance be a little less scared compared to how she usually is.

Happy New Year west coast of the US of A!

And finally for me, goodnight /endpone/! God bless all of y'all!

I guess goodluck to anybody out there who is having a long hnagover or is dealing with possibly ramifications of certain other events in the news. Funny thing, for most people I know, it's regualr life/one last weekend of fun before the life returns, but I was raised celebrating Christmas 12 days and thus it still feels like a holiday even if things have been a bit chaotic on my /end/.

Hopefully this place won't go under. 8kun had a rough transition back to their original URL/DNS-entry, so it would at times look like they were gone forever.

8chan moe decided /pone/ didn't have enough posters and locked the whole board. It's been unlocked but now the threads don't bump when you post.
As an admin I can look at posts by date, and bumplocked or saged they show up in order, but to visitors it would look like no one is showing up.

On mlpol I've been toying with joining a play-by-post DnD game but the rules are really vague and no one actually knows what race stats they're using, only that flying is pretty much disallowed.

So long story shorter, it feels like the internet is dead to me even though everyone else is having a loud, normal time.

>>12497
>As an admin I can look at posts by date, and bumplocked or saged they show up in order, but to visitors it would look like no one is showing up.
Bleh. That is annoying. Does this affect new threads?

>On mlpol I've been toying with joining a play-by-post DnD game but the rules are really vague and no one actually knows what race stats they're using, only that flying is pretty much disallowed.
I don't do a lot of RP, but I know this feeling of groups that are annoyingly vague. A lot of rules being unwritten and certain people either mesh well with them or not. I also have been dealing with minor disaster in a non-functional computer and the password booklet I used most having disappeared, can't test anything with my board vole position at the moment. I still have the password for here though.

>So long story shorter, it feels like the internet is dead to me even though everyone else is having a loud, normal time.
Similar feelings. I've been looking around at some other chan boards, forums and other places. Most are dead or feel dysfunctional with people I suspect I wouldn't get along with well. Social media I have done more limited scouting but I feel the same with it as I do with above. I suspect part of it for me is that I am not "wired" for this age well. It honestly almost feels like that my ideal space would have to be a place that is /built/ and that would require a lot more in the OC department. Maybe that can be done here, but I really need to make sure some bunker is established because everything feels rather fragile. I'll tell if you I find any spaces that are functional with decentish cultures.

>>12497
>8chan moe decided /pone/ didn't have enough posters and locked the whole board. It's been unlocked but now the threads don't bump when you post.
That is a point against them because a lot of places could use a bunker that is just on standby. Is there a particular post count required monthly or something?

>the internet is dead to me
I'm split between the idea that people are bad at expanding their horizons versus the truth that communities on Reddit and Discord are objectively downgraded and culturally similar even if some still have their own traditions otherwise. I imagine AI RPing has also hurt RP sessions across the board. I think a lot of chan culture and older forums are too puritan to some ideal of recapturing a golden age while newer online meeting places genuinely are downgrades in terms of culture and fun.

>>12498
> know this feeling of groups that are annoyingly vague. A lot of rules being unwritten
/endpone/ is this too. That isn't a bad thing. What is when things are being mismanaged or managed in a negative arbitrary way. /endpone/ being more SFW, loving generals, and being in-between peak /b/rony Ponychan and /mlp/ in terms of sincerity aren't spelled out rules but pretty quickly and easily picked up by anyone who lurks here and is pretty easy to understand*. An RP with unclear rules is one that can be arbitrarily run or a chaotic train-wreck. Now train-wrecks can sometimes be fun though if everyone is in on it or just trying to have a good time.

*/endpone/ I'll admit is weird to fully wrap your head around. It's like a mix of /b/ronies, /pone/, /flutter/, but has its own traits outside of those.

I wonder if this will become the main standard? The gameloft game has some weight with some of the designs it produces ``but reformed Chrysalis did have a fair bit of fan art
before.`` We shall see if it crystalizes.

...It probably will, Chrysalis' redeemed/reformed state didn't have much coherence and a fair bit of the art was subpar. Not all, just a fair bit, from a brief search I did.

>>12500
>/endpone/ is this too. That isn't a bad thing.

I think there is a line between lurkmore and obscurity with incoherent preferential treatment without a basis in culture and some places dance right over that or don't have... really anything in the form of competent moderation to begin with. Something old forum users will know well .Though I do respect the nuance you show in making that distinction even if I wasn't making the point. Pretty good description of /endpone/ as well.

>An RP with unclear rules is one that can be arbitrarily run or a chaotic train-wreck.
Also noting: most ponysites with RP sections usually seem to have a certain... reputation.

Polar vortex making its way to Texas and where I live is one the places affected! Let's see how Texas does this time. It's not as bad as 2021 and supposedly things have been improved but I am ready for the power to go out for a while. Just in case.

PoLS, hopefully next time I'm here I'll have something to post. Working on a lot of minor projects most of which don't have relevance but I might blog about on here or /chat/.

Most of these projects are done at a whim and we shall see how far they go or if I have anything interesting to report. /go/ did have tech as a secondary topic, but /chat/ and here is where random stuff was usually posted. Speaking of /go/. I have wanted to dump everything I consider important, even if I can't do much /go/wise right now. I might have a few things others didn't get. I have been horribly disorganized from moving (slowly) and partly between houses!

I am doing okay health wise, not 100% but 70% or 80%, which is way better than even a few months ago. That is the one bright spot., just a lot of IRL stuff. Oh, and moderately stressed on the Iran War, not that I want this to decent into /pol/tard vs libtard interventionist fighting.

>>12548
There is something /comfy/ about posting on a chan during stressful times. At least when it is done right. So, while making no commitments, I am going to try to post more regularly. For the 2 to 5 regulars that I know of (and sometimes weirdly more that will show up once or twice at random times who I know less on) here, no pressure on y'all. I am just posting in a somewhat more laid back manner like I used to do as opposed to my roll as a more distant chaperone of various threads that I feel like I have been kind of defacto doing outside of our Sync Rewatch Thread.

Hope to do the Season 2 thread soon!

In the meantime, goodnight and God bless y'all!

That is actually half decent spec'd machines. Very unusual considering what I know of you. If you're not careful you might end up with something that is actually powerful and not a beaten up laptop being held together with duct tape. There is sometimes half decent tech discussion hangouts on /mlp/ and you might consider posting some of your efforts there.

>monarchy:the system of having a king or queen
Sorry m8, but we cannot afford to run a tetrarchy. Disney´s stigma (and its alleged copyright of princesses) of queens has ruined Hasbro´s will of assigning them as queen because otherwise, we would have evil characters in power.

Fortunately enough, Gameloft Chrysalis, Novo, Haven and Kirinlestia (aka Rain Shine) could fill up their vacancies for their roles instead.

> We are not going to crash, we are going to fly into the heavens!

Well, let´s check:
-Both Luna and Celestia are retired, traveling through the world as tourists and sunbathing and swimming on the beach as their daily routine these days.

-Cadance is on maternity leave with Flurry Heart´s care...and also calling and trying her luck on several insurance companies so that she can get a cheaper fee from the losses that her daughter often causes in the Crystal Empire.

-And Twilight...well, she is blaming Sunny Starscout for not inheriting her lessons properly. I guess that becoming a background pony as a protagonist has its diminishing returns. Thus,she is focusing more on her flawed teaching methods than sticking with her past duties.

So, rather than heavens, I´d say that we are more likely to end up in Cloudsdale. Not only is it safer to reach and land but also because we would have to rely on Rainbow Crash to carry us...and her landing looks more faulty than Boeing airplanes.

Not a good move to pick up these days...

>-Both Luna and Celestia are retired, traveling through the world as tourists and sunbathing and swimming on the beach as their daily routine these days.
They retired not of age, but of boredom or stress, perfectly fit and capable.

> ..and also calling and trying her luck on several insurance companies so that she can get a cheaper fee from the losses that her daughter often causes in the Crystal Empire.
Flurry Heart will be able to be used as a weapon in a decade and a half at earliest, pays off.

> -And Twilight...well, she is blaming Sunny Starscout for not inheriting her lessons properly. I guess that becoming a background pony as a protagonist has its diminishing returns. Thus,she is focusing more on her flawed teaching methods than sticking with her past duties.
Yeah, in the maintime Twilight is an abject failure, I'll grant you that. BUT THIS TIME WE ARE GOING TO AVERT THE TIMELINE, FLY PAST THE STARS AND KILL COSMOS. PRINCESS! PRINCESS! PRINCESS!

>Fortunately enough, Gameloft Chrysalis, Novo, Haven and Kirinlestia (aka Rain Shine) could fill up their vacancies for their roles instead.
The one good idea you have had so far.Maybe we need TWO TETRARCHIES instead of ONE?!

>That is actually half decent spec'd machines. Very unusual considering what I know of you.
Yeah, it is a long way from a couple of years ago when I just was posting from a pair of decade and a half year old laptops. Though truth be told, my access to good tech has always been more unstable than completely bad. I had a T470 at that time as well, it was just, on loan because of a family member having computer troubles.

> on /mlp/ and you might consider posting some of your efforts there.
I might if it is comfy enough. /mlp/ discussion, save for a general or two, isn't my cup of tea but I am not hyper partisan against their way of things.

>Sounds painful unless you enjoy that kind of thing and even a poorfag could probably scrape together something better and simpler than whatever you're trying to do.
I have a M93p machine I acquired cheaply. The low power Xeons that would be easier on that machine are a bit expensive (not terribly though, but I am stingy) and harder to find. Normal Xeons that fit and work in the socket are as cheap as $5 despite being as powerful as i7s from the era (a combination of the marketing of the i7 and those Xeons dumped by corporate users and not being in high demand). They will supposedly boot with a powerful enough power supply but I want to run said Xeon under a restricted thermal profile something I can't do from the native BIOS of the M93p but can from coreboot, albeit I believe it is setting it in the flashing of the firmware and I can't adjust it afterwards. There maybe other stuff I will try too, if I get around to it. I think with RAM prices and potential power price increases it might be an ideal set up for a server of sorts that I want to have running 24/7.
