every october I have to draw something with him.

I also made a wider version for myself to set on my wallpaper. maybe someone could use it! it's suitable for 16x9 resolution.

I have been listening to way too much Ghost lately,,,, and I wanted to name a horse after Call Me Little Sunshine

So this is Little Sunshine!

Awww that's such a nice name! (and fantastic song.. never thought about naming a horse after ghost.. now I might)

I think this every time I'm doing a main story mission

I feel like this was the most important ig story for all the “None of the original writers are left” “they’re losing the original story” ppl out there

Everytime sso mention ashland I feel like a dog who fot teased by their human's dinner....

And I am sure how obsessed I am with the idea of ashland whatever that place turn out would be a dissapointment to me. Either it will be too different to it's og purpose or the exact same which do not fit the new sso vibe....

(Or it will be a small area like devil gap)

#same #it's the one area I look forward to the most....

Oh so SSE does random game-interrupting pop-ups now? That's cute.

Omg that thing stopped me in the middle of getting chased by several wolves.. they took every bit of spray I had left and sent me back to camp.. I cri.. I had even tried to activate it manually myself before that but it didn't appear...

I’m JUST SAYING- star stable used to look like this

And now we have THIS

This is leaps and bounds in game development- I am SO sick of the nostalgia blindness that’s rampant in the instagram community

valahound

Star stable genuinely feels like its becoming what it was meant to be?

With the leading and following command, all the beautiful horses and animations, the new lunging/training stuff coming out, the realistic tack and locations we’re getting?!

I’ll be the first one to be nostalgic and homesick for the vibes of the old game, but id also be lying if i didn’t say this version was objectively better-

And i think a lot of critics are blinded by nostalgia? Like? 14 year old me and players in 2015 would go INSAAAANE for the horse breeds, races, tack, and interactions we get with our horses now

#agreed #but I'm also a bit biased the other way #YES i grew up with SSL i got them through a book club #and yes I started playing sso because of those games back in 2012 #but.. I also stopped playing because I thought the game was ugly haha #like.. back in the day when SSL came out that was fine because not many games looked that much better anyway #but in 2012... games looked better...and SSO became outdated in comparison #so I took a brake... came back in 2016 cus they had updated #and it looked better ... and again.. that was fine for then.. but NOW #other games are stepping up their game so sso gotta do it too and my god #I'm so glad I stuck around so that I could witness this transformation because THIS is what I wanted from the start #It's so beautiful now and I'm so excited about the upcoming features #honestly.. In a lot of ways I think SSO look better than a lot of horse games out there now. And I LOVE that #cus I'm picky af

I cant help but disagree with people when they try and say sso is a uniquely expensive game. In Canada the average price of a switch game is 80$ CAD (or perhaps just the games I’ve bought, but usually they’re at least over 40$). Sso’s lifetime membership is 84$ CAD, which is essentially buying the game. Sso also receives weekly updates so not only are you buying a game (with a substantial amount of gameplay), but the game is also continuously gaining more content.

I will agree that star coin prices are pretty damn expensive but if you’re a star rider there isn’t any requirement to buy star coins since you get a weekly allowance. Prior to playing this game as an adult with income (so 2013-2020), i never once bought star coins and still accumulated a large wardrobe plus 20-ish horses off of star coin allowance alone. There isnt any competitive drawback to not having the newest horse on release either, since its not like they have better stats.

I really just think that games in general have become a lot more expensive. I don’t think sso is unique compared to other games.

#op mentioned glitches and how that might lower the price of the game #but quite honestly... there are entire compilations of bugs on tripple A games too #like Rdr2 and Skyrim #like.. really.. people act as if a game usually is bug free but when not even a game with an huge budget can manage that?#I think sse can be forgiven honestly #most are not game breaking and those who are gets fixed as soon as they can

Them: Buh our feet don't go in the stirrups!

Me, sipping a smoothie: My guy, we didn't even always have a girth on our saddle, chill out.

Beautiful day out at the races!

Really enjoying the summer at the Baroness’s, the stands are the most comfortable spot to rest between championships! Brought home about 5 new ribbons for the stable.
