I just ran into the same thing in a video I was watching, non pony related, but the same as in, the video maker thought it was some genius new thing on the internet when I remember the same thing existing back in the 90s.

I think too, that newer generations don't understand how it used to be before the internet was so easy to access and everything you could ever want to find was on it. Nerdy stuff has always been around (and mainly seen as a bad thing). They were having conventions with cosplay in the 60s. And it certainly wasn't something that was widely accepted like it is today. Like, take gaming culture. I don't like the term 'gamer' because it denotes a certain type of person, but I've been gaming my entire life. Back then it was seen as a nerdy thing (nerd stuff was bad) and something you did by yourself in a dark room because you were a loser with no friends

I mean, I'm glad it has become so mainstream and people are are enjoying it together, but growing up it was definitely seen as something an outcast kid did, not the norm.

I haven't been sleeping due to being out of one of my medications, but last night it finally caught up with me. I slept all day. I had a very strange dream that seemed absolutely real. I am usually a lucid dreamer, but this one I was trapped in. It's been on my mind since I woke up.

Yes, Shai, I've noticed that too about G4 customizers. I wouldn't link anything that uses questionable materials, or down right wrong materials, don't worry

I will check out out RetroGeek.

Yes, that would be lovely!

Couldn't sleep at all last night. Officially out of bed at 5:30am. Managed to burn my hand making coffee. Some laundry done, clothes in the dryer. Blankets next. It's become too hot for my fuzzy blanket so I got my cotton knit one out (it has holes in the knit so it's cool) but it has that stale smell. It also reminded me I need to vacuum seal some items in the linen closet. It's overflowing with stuff I never use. Why do I have so many towels???

So with fresh blankets I should change the sheets. Not looking forward to that.

My silly shrimp. I was using the net to pick up some uneaten food and the shrimp are so curious they swam right in. Took a few minutes of maneuvering to not scoop any up.

How scary! I'm glad they are okay. I hope the repairs won't take too long.

The burn hurts but I still have my skin. Luckily, I let the kettle sit for a few minutes. I'm not sure what happened. I think I absentmindedly grabbed the Aeropress as I poured the water but it came over the side and hit my hand between my index finger and thumb. The worst part is that there's no such thing as cold tap water right now, it's lukewarm at best. I used ice.

Again, when things are going well, something happens. This morning it was pouring boiling water over my hand.

Oh yeah! I'll add MLC to the list.

I'm on Etsy all the time. I'll look up things that could be used for ponies. Great idea!

I was thinking of searching for videos too.

Thanks

Customs / New Resources?

I cleaned up the sticky links, some sites were gone or moved.

Does anyone have any newer resources they know of or use? A lot of the tutorial links are so old, with old info, like using Mod Podge as a sealer. I mean there is an Angelfire site up there

I was thinking of adding a where to baits section and linking the HQG1C blanks and I discovered someone on Facebook making amazing 3D printed pony blanks.

What else could be added? New techniques? Like what? Gimme some ideas!
