Satyr Abomination Thread #296(probably): Wholesome family edition

No.40550071 View ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
What is a 'Satyr Abomination' thread about?
A satyr is what happens when a human and a pony decide to get freaky and end up having a child. The top half is mostly human, the bottom is from pony mom (or pony dad). This thread is dedicated to the art and written works about these lovable creatures.
>What about other species?
The show had quite a few different intelligent species by season 8, 'everycreature' and all. Pick your poison, but /mlp/ is mainly into ponies.
>What is the world/characters/personalities & attributes?
The most common setting is one or multiple Anons in Equestria. Most of the established characters are in the list below, the personalities mostly vary from green to green. Just ask the thread about common headcanons.

(Pony) content being deleted starting DECEMBER 1 on inactive Google accounts

No.40578605 View ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
Reminder that old pony content on inactive (>2 years) Google accounts may be gone as early as this Friday: https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/updating-our-inactive-account-policies/ Although YouTube videos from the account are safe, it will affect almost everything else. Lots of old pony content still live on in Google Drive and Google Docs links like old fanfics, games, images, and so on. Some current pony projects even use these old links, but all these may go away very soon.

If all this sounds familiar, there was a similar Google Drive incident 2 years ago: https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/37510688/ But back then it was not content that was being deleted. That is happening this time.

>How to remain "active"
It's simple. Sign in at least once every 2 years and do something like read an email or google search. (You'll need to specifically sign in for Google Photos too if you use that.) If you know someone with an inactive account and they have a lot of pony content on there, remind them to sign in.

>What is being done
I am still not familiar with what exactly has been done so far, but I'm aware that something is being done in /pag/ thread right now >>40557552. I'd ask those there and any other pony archivists to contribute to this thread. I do know that several major sources have already been scraped for links and their metadata saved. If you know which ones, please list them here. Metadata can be used to infer "active" accounts for prioritising what needs to be saved or identifying titles that sound "pony".
Some links have also been saved into Wayback Machine. Again, please detail here if you know.

>What can you do

Obviously download whatever you want saved. There are automated ways to do this using Google API key or rclone if you know how to use those.
Share any links to pony content on Google Drive here for current and future archiving efforts. Remind anyone else you know to do the same. Google Drive/Docs keeps a list of files/folders that you have been opened in the past, so that's also a good place to find links (https://drive.google.com/drive/shared-with-me https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/). Share any websites that should have these links for scraping, but I'm not sure how much time there will be for this.

What's the definitive power ranking for MLP characters? Who can Daybreaker solo?

No.40586124 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
This show has some amazing music and even more amazing fan musicians remixing and reimagining the show's songs.
What is your least favorite song and is there any remix/cover that you think saved it?

For myself, I hate Raise This Barn. It feels phoned in, the most obvious take on an Apple Family song without thinking for a second what good country actually sounds like. It makes Applejack sound like a dumb hick who can't think of any better way to fill a song than counting to the highest number she knows, but it's actually fully on the song's writers that they didn't care enough to write a good song.
There are a few remixes that fix the song, sometimes by making a completely new song with a "Raise this barn!" sample in the beat and little more, but Mandopony played it mostly straight and fixed every issue along the way.
