The popens have gone to bed in their weird tube houses. Say goodnight to them. We return to My Little Pony now... for the most part.
Go discuss whatever below, or popens. It's entirely up to you.
As announced yesterday at their closing ceremonies, BABSCon 2025 will be the final one. This is one of the longest running pony cons out there, having been started way back in 2014! What a while ride it has been!
Registration for 2025 is already open if you want to attend their final hurrah. If it's anything like BronyCon was, they are going to be jam-packed all weekend long, so be sure to get those tickets bought.
REGULAR POSTING RETURNS. I GOT BORED.
Have pony art. Expect more pony later. It's raining though so I might just go run around in it. It never rains here in Arizona. It's a terrible desert filled with brown. I really want to move to Washington but it's too expensive. Preferably somewhere in the forest. Someone trade me a house over there for my Arizona house tyvm.
Go get art below.

Do they not make your day so much better? We have another gallery of glorious popen ready for your eyeballs to be purified with. Embrace their beautiful 3D forms as they show you the power of making your graphics card sweat by ramping the graphics up to levels they never were designed to hit on a game from 2 decades ago!
Go get OpenPonies below.
A LOT of you made ponies since we posted up the Open Pony article back on May 9th, but one bit of feedback a lot of people are seeing is that the newer people have no idea what to do now that they have their cartoon horse made. Second Life is a huge game and finding things can be pretty daunting. If you search for My Little Pony in the in-game browser, there is a good chance you will find a pony "sim" (the Second Life name for server), but you probably won't find many people there. Where is everyone hanging out?
This post will hopefully give you a little bit of direction on where to go next. Pony Town is where the guide originally had you begin, but it's more of a display piece than a hangout these days. I'm not going to bombard you with words here about everything there is to know about each area since we have a separate community focused post coming up, but I will give you some links to check out and hopefully find some other pony fans to talk to and interact with. At the end of the day, Second Life is a social game. There aren't ladders to battle it out on or stats to level up (outside of specific sims that are essentially games of their own). Your pony is simply an avatar to customize and hang out with other cartoon horse enthusiasts with.
Anyway, get a location guide below!
There are many frustrating things on this wonderful planet we call Earth. From housing prices skyrocketing to levels that make zero sense, to people leaving out raw meat out at the grocery store because they are too lazy to bring it back to the cold section, or even your TV getting ads on it after a random forced update. Life is filled with RAGE-inducing things!
For a lot of people, making their first popen is about on that level. Wrangling Second Life and not obliterating your adorable cartoon horse waifu is a lesson in frustration if you've never used it before.
Today I grace you with my awful vocal skills to show off how to make your very own OpenPony! That's right. I made a video that isn't 30 seconds of a pony dancing. An actual useful bit of filmography if you happen to want to venture into this weird digital fandom filled with 3D equines that bark at each-other.
Head on down below to learn how to make a popen!
Discuss OpenPonies. Talk about their manes. Talk about their tails. Tell Hasbro to create Build-A-Pony with OpenPony as the plushie base model. Bask in my current interest as I flood you with it like I did back in 2011 with Trixie and 2015 with Sweet Velvet. You will be dominated. Or you will leave forever. We accept this because EQD is like 13 years old and I'm basically in yolo mode at this point.
Or discuss whatever below.
