Sometimes im just doing random chores around the house and I naturally hum the old sso soundtrack, but it has been years since i haven't heard it. Yesterday I decided to listen to the entire old sso soundtrack playlist and oh boy... the silverglade theme were always my favorite, i almost cried when I heard it again, it's so whimsical and beautiful.
I literally don't care about the discussions around SSO nowadays ("the game is dying", "it lost its magic", "its cashgrab", you guys know the drill), but you just gotta be dead inside if you listen to this soundtrack and don't feel anything about it.
No no I don't think you understand the feelings this screenshot give me. I'm crying.
This is from 2014! The sso screenshot. The noob, lvl 4 me. The old graphics. The badly edited tack, mane and tail. The free gimp program. The pink edges I had set. The old windows. The Microsoft program icons.
If it wasn't for Avalon's roomba ""walkcycle"" and Fripp's galaxycore sparkle fursona design, I would have found that one scene were the druids express their disappointment towards the Soulriders' actions ominous
(I know people are going to come at me with torches and pitchforkes but,,,)
"This new StarStable is the DEATH of REALISM!!!!"
My brother in christ, you haven't taken an art class/elective in your life and it shows
That was NOT realism, that was an early 2000s-era cartoon style,,,,, JUST LOOK at all the cartoons that were aired around that time!!! It's very clearly along the same vein!!!
It's like yall wanna be angry for the sake of being angry and not actually paying attention to what you're saying and being completely wrong about it,,,
Do yall look at this and think "Hmmmm, yes, totally normal human proportions" And I bet those of you who are saying that are the same ones who are fatphobic. Bruh, (IDK how old our character is but pretty sure she's in her teens) a 16 year old does NOT look like a runway model, if she does, she probably has a LOT of health issues which I really don't want to get into due to personal reasons (even then, runway models do often have health issues)
Like, yall canNOT be this serious about being this unlearned please say sike I'm BEGGING. I think those of you need to go back to reading comprehension or study human anatomy like SERIOUSLY
Apparently the artist who painted the book covers and a lot of the SSO loading screens & launcher backgrounds (instagram link) is ALSO no longer working for Star Stable. No comment made on whether willingly or not but we can take a pretty educated guess, I think...
I think of this screenshot my friend @yaksemash took so often... It's so striking, it's like renaissance painting to me, I had to draw it to get the demon out of me
