I was so hyped as a kid when the Kallters left and there was a little storyline. I remember waiting in anticipation for it to continue, it also teased the area behind Icengate... this will have been 7 years ago in October.

the ice witch...

"from the north" (northern mountain range, the unreleased area behind Icengate, which has always had a hidden path to it blocked by invisible walls)

"it came from a place outside druid providence beyond the Icengate" ;-;

so sad it got scrapped.

I also think it is strange that the fjords were retired four years before starstable started retiring other horses.

Maybe (but highly unlikely) their retirement was meant to be temporary, also considering the fact that the fjords had the shortest time in the game of any breed.

things that (in my perfect world) SSE would bring back

cold resistant horses

reputation locked horses

buying horses with shillings

level locked horses

level locked items

day blockers

location locked items !!! incentivize people to explore and go to the mall. turn the global store into more of like. a catalogue

dark night sky fuck the light pollution we have going on these days

actually evil/threatening villains

an actual difficult/potentially grindy/immersive element to training horses

having to spam w / be mindful of your horse's gait (i understand they removed this for accessibility purposes - maybe they could let you toggle it on/off)

COLD RESISTANT HORSES

regional trailers

the yellow-tinted colour scheme (as opposed to the blue-tint we have now)

not necessarily the old UI but i have to be honest i really do not like the current UI it is so. it is

having to care for your horse multiple times per session

having to wait for the bus !!!

personality for the character designs please... everything looks like fortnite now

having to care for your horses at a stable, not just anywhere on the map

travelling horse market

Cold. Resistant. Horses. :)

my headcanon is that pandorians' natural form is the human-horse hybrid from the starshine games, so...

SSO would have been way more successful and would have had way less trouble if the game was targeted to teenagers and not little kids and actually tried doing something with the old storyline (when it was more creepy and mysterious than just magical and whimical)

That was the wind y'all, a round of applause for the wind

any of the SSOblr people heard of Better SSO? A 2017 version of SSO that apparently works but is giving a ton of people false positive trojans? I’m soooo intrigued by it so much so that I’ve taught myself how to use a Virtual Machine just in case I ever wanted to try it. I probably won’t but yk.

real sso players remember when there was only One pair of pants with +5 riding in the game

I don't know what I'm more afraid of, that Raptor won't have had a single update to his model leading to overwhelming complaints about inconsistent game style, or he'll have been completely yassified leading to overwhelming thirst the likes of which haven't been seen since Ydr*s.

maybe I'm the only sso player with religious trauma but "surrender your spirit to Aideen" is giving mmm no I don't think I will

So. Star Stable's Spotify header.

I saw this on a little trip to SSO's Spotify page to see if they'd released any music without announcing it again and went hm. This looks kind of weird. I sure hope they haven't stooped so low as to use AI for their promo material. And then I looked closer.

First thing I noticed was the stirrups. Or, should I say... "stirrups".

Did they like... employ someone who doesn't know how tack works? What IS that? Also I'm only noticing this as I'm writing the post but why on earth does the boot not have proper laces or eyelets

And what the fuck are these weird straps on the saddle? And the guitar straps aren't attached to the guitar?? Actually... it can't be... but let me look at the hands. Just real quick

Uh. hm. that's not very hand. Are they fucking using AI

OH BOY.

The bit and the reins are... not properly attached to one another, just welded together. The noseband just disappears. The buckles at the top of the bridle don't really exist and the chin strap doesn't fit properly at all. The reins are double on one side, but not the other, and one or both of the reins on the far side almost look attached to the breast collar - or they're just being held a lot looser than the near side rein. Also, you need a very specific type of bit to use double reins, which is not the type of bit that's on this bridle. Or maybe the two weird straps are supposed to be a fucked up martingale, and that's why they're attached to the breast collar? But then why does the horse only have one rein? Also the martingale is attached wrong if that's what it's meant to be, see below (it's never attached directly to the bit). The breast collar is also attached to the underside of the saddle, rather than the saddle itself like it should be. The horse's front shoulder looks like it's drawn by someone who doesn't know very much about horse anatomy, or... y'know... AI.

The cart isn't fucking attached to the fucking horse. Poor guy is dragging that thing along with one singular back leg.

The keyboards all have the wrong number of black keys in the wrong places. And also those knobs do not look right. Oh, and something is DEFINITELY wrong with that drum kit.

And also just look at this fucking horse. Yeah, it's passable as a horse, but have you seen the quality of SSO's horses and horse art??? This isn't even anywhere CLOSE to that

So yeah uh, SSE used fucking AI art for their spotify banner. I feel like this is the greatest punch in the gut they could've possibly sent their laid-off artists' way. You cannot defend this.
