Gulf Coast Allsparkers, how are we holding up? My area isn't in the cone last I looked, but I got an official alert that they're handing out sandbags tomorrow.

September 29 is Coffee Day in the US and a bunch of other countries. Did you remember to celebrate?

I got robbed at the grocery store again. My receipt does not match the in-store prices. Certain sales didn't apply. The name of the item matched, the weight matched, and the date range matched. No sale. Same old story. This happens too often to not be deliberate. It is a subtle theft they hope...

Iberian orcas have apparently declared war on boats, and they've sunk three so far. https://www.livescience.com/animals/orcas/orcas-have-sunk-3-boats-in-europe-and-appear-to-be-teaching-others-to-do-the-same-but-why https://www.orcaiberica.org/antecedentes 52 interactions in 2020. 197 in...

Oldspark had a thread about how bad our schools are, and I started thinking that we need to revive the topic. My governor just signed a bill to raise school start times. From the headline I thought that would be interesting, but the actual change is that middle school can’t start before 8:00 am...

https://www.allspark.com/try-out-the-voice-of-optimus-prime-in-new-text-to-speech-app/ On TikTok anyway. https://www.tiktok.com/@paramountpics/video/7230796029237529899?_r=1&_t=8c97rTFbrQc&social_sharing=v3 Someone give it a try and let us all know if it works.

So my area had some rain this week. I'm fine. That wasn't a lake a few days ago. That was Fort Lauderdale Airport. That's how much water fell out of the sky. 7 months' worth of rain in 7 hours. This wasn't even a tropical storm. Just rain.

For G5 ponymotes. So I am doing it myself.

Apparently we are supposed to be watching the backgrounds. Do you realize what this means? I'm gonna watch it again.

How is everyone holding up in the big freeze? I thought we were going to sit this one out, but it's 47 degrees and I have had no electricity for several hours, and the power company says it'll be over another hour at least. I like doing these blogs in Allsparkle. Pip inspires me, I guess. I'll...

https://www.allspark.com/new-officially-licensed-transformers-keycaps-set-announced/ I actually really like how that Autobot set looks. That keyboard looks like it should be plugged into an 8-bit game console to form a completely useless computer. I could see myself buying a keyboard that looks...

Yes, another G5 game. Trailer: Gameplay preview: It's just Gameloft, but it does look significantly higher effort than their G4 game. It looks like the map is once again just an elaborate level select screen for a bunch of shovelware minigames, but it does have cutscenes and the models...

Took my dad back to the hospital again. Been here since just before 2 in the morning. There were no rooms available so we had to camp out in a hallway for a few hours. I'm tired anf bored and hungry and I need to post my rambling thoughts I like this hospital so mych better than the firsr one...

Nissin ramen, apparently. https://www.taobao.com/list/item/537570110115.htm This isn't Nissin's first MLP tie-in. They also did G4 and Pony Life. Google Translate says these are mini cups for children, which means the amount of sodium might actually be within sane limits for an adult.

Lost power already lol. Fortunately I brewed coffee last night just in case, so I was fine this morning.

Today it has been one year since Generation 5 began with the release of My Little Pony: A New Generation. One year ago Izzy became best pony, Sunny became cutest pony, and I looked forward to seeing them continue to be prominent characters. So what's happened in the year since? My Little Pony...

This needs its own thread. It is a thing that was released and seemingly no one played. As with A Maretime Bay Adventure, its enduring legacy is likely to be the treasure trove it's provided to the SFM gang. There's a whole GB of assets here. It's all much lower res than than the MBA stuff but...

https://www.allspark.com/agora-models-optimus-prime/ This is just in time. Agora Models is giving us another option for a stylized G1 Optimus Prime with odd proportions. I do give it points for having a Matrix cover instead of just having the Matrix visible through the windows. That's very...
