Let me tell you, I am forevermore going to be depressed and bitter over how badly they screwed over My Little Pony G5 after A New Generation, from utterly butchering the characters I came to care about in that movie, as well as the storytelling, to mishandling how they advertised its darn material.

In my opinion, save for one season (the 8th), this show remained good, if not always great, throughout its 9 season run. It's only a pity that we haven't gotten anything as good from My Little Pony since it concluded, and Lord knows if we'll *ever* get anything on Friendship is Magic's level again.

The first episode of it I watched was Season 1's Green Isn't Your Color, and I officially became a fan in October of 2012, 13 years ago. My favourite episode of the entire show is Season 4's Pinkie Pride, which premiered on my 20th birthday, *11* years prior. Best Day of Birth gift of my adult life.

15 years since My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic first went to air. At first, it came out quietly, nobody expecting anything but another extended toy commercial for a franchise only little girls cared about. In short time, it was discovered to be the best thing to ever happen to said franchise.

On the left: Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash in the humble beginnings. On the right: the same characters, plus Spike the Dragon, grown up, standing at the sunset of the old days, and looking forward to a fresh tomorrow.

Felt like looking back at tweets of mine from 4-5 years ago about that Diaz Red Horse Station fellow. Pretty ridiculous, yes, but remember: according to him and his white knights, this is comparable to Star Giant Productions, apparently.

I just snapped these screenshots tonight, so you know.

Still waiting for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds to fall to a more generous price.

Mere days short of the original's 20th anniversary! It'll practically be a birthday movie!

And that corncobbler donkey on YouTube wanted to suggest those who criticized you-know-who (someone we've mentioned enough already) are comparable.... to THIS guy?! In what world?!

Today's Nintendo Direct in a nutshell:

A perfectly well and good Mario anniversary direct, with a long random showcase direct attached to it.

I haven't seen the TLBT sequels past XI: Invasion of the Tinysauruses, and I saw that years ago, when I was a preteen.

The grainy look of Season 1 gives off the warm and fuzzies.

Most laughable of all: not only does he firmly, unironically believe his critics are "terrified of negativity", but his takeaway from this was that his critics are terrified of negativity towards The Land. Before Time. XIII. The Wisdom. Of. Friends! What a farce this guy is!

An odd day when Zavok gets some of the best voice acting in recent Sonic games.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger is almost 3 weeks away from release, and the first taste of it is coming up fast.

My poor, dust-collecting PlayStation 5 needs a good game to run!

Okay, enough with this husk of a horse.

Finally, an excuse to use this one clip of Nostalgia Critic laughing.
