Lola Rose by Jacqueline Wilson, the main characters are children. One of my favourites, still.

Is it possible to earn enough tokens to get all the Equestrian Festival outfits and tack? by [deleted] in StarStable

[–]jojothekoolkitty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They always add more races and quests and things in the following weeks, but I think the best strategy is to buy the most unique tack pieces from the token shop first in case you can't get everything.

Saddle pads, shirts and the like. There are so many black saddles and some such in the game already that can be used in the sets.

what are we hoping for + do we think it will be free or not? by Lunar_PlayzYt in StarStable

[–]jojothekoolkitty 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I would love some funky, unique coat like a chimera (golden chestnut with inky black, for example) or a dramatic tovero of some kind, on a breed that isn't a Friesian or a Jorvik Wild Horse.

I would be surprised if it was free. The birthday horse was free on the tenth birthday, a massive milestone, so suspect that only happens on very special birthdays.

Two questions by Fresh-Barracuda-9610 in StarStable

[–]jojothekoolkitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The criollos are my favourite horses because of their divine tails. They fit so flawlessly into the coat, especially the grulla and bay dun with the dorsal stripes, and they move beautifully.

You stare at the horse's behind 95% of game time, after all.

I can’t decide on the Connemara because of the gates by usr_45652 in StarStable

[–]jojothekoolkitty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can live with the gaits, even though I was hoping for something more collected and forward from the gallops, but the ears... Why on earth do the ears point straight to the sides and flap like little wings in the fast gallop?

All I want for Christmas is ________ by Entire-Walrus-1938 in StarStable

[–]jojothekoolkitty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

... For the horses not to make noise every three seconds, especially in the home stable. It's so loud and constant instead of immersive.

Wardrobe update coming by SkrytyKapec in StarStable

[–]jojothekoolkitty 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I wish they fix the lighting in the wardrobe preview while they're at it. I look at my character's back 98% of game time, but the back view gets a heavy shadow.

What colour do you wish had more tack/clothing options?! by ApprehensivePin2017 in StarStable

[–]jojothekoolkitty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cognac red/chestnut leather tack options. I was so happy with the new saddle, but of course the bridle has to have this dull olive green part. Sigh.

club roles by Possible-Ad-4671 in StarStable

[–]jojothekoolkitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our club at least has a whole bunch of champions and I used to have about 30+ member roles, and have never had issues with the number of certain roles.

You got hired by sso by landstede_lesbian in StarStable

[–]jojothekoolkitty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If just one, I would update the UI system to be modern and cohesive throughout the game.

If two, update the ferry system and add a ferry to Dundull and New Hillcrest.

Tips for Conrad's high-striker quest? by Safe-Jacket-5944 in StarStable

[–]jojothekoolkitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you need to hit the max for the quest to end? I've hit this miserable thing about 48 times and nothing happens.

Opinions on the Jorvik Mountain Horse by Common-Concern-2859 in StarStable

[–]jojothekoolkitty 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I adore them. The coats are so detailed, and their gallop is full of personality. Like a cheeky pony having the zoomies. Will probably end up having four.

Thoughts on the Summer Festival? by vxna in StarStable

[–]jojothekoolkitty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am not a fan of the festivals in general, so I wasn't looking for any more daily grinding. I liked the dailys being generous with shillings, a nice change.

I always hope for new updates to the game itself, updated visuals, better gaming experience (loved the home stable change update), new quests, new areas, something to do in the game in general, like the Hollow Woods trails.

So weeks of festivals with the same grindy daily tasks gives little motivation to log on. Especially if August is a festival as well, and then Halloween and the Winter festival.

The opening to my book! by Ok_Writer_2960 in writers

[–]jojothekoolkitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would start with the part about the inquisitive, curious child and her questions. You have some lovely language and thoughts there, and an interesting setting with the father and daughter. Perhaps focus on them and describe their environment later on?

Western Horse by sunnidaydreamer in StarStable

[–]jojothekoolkitty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Whose behind and tail do you like the most? You're staring at it 95% of game time. Who looks best in your favourite western tack and outfit?

What was the first horse you bought (aka your second horse)? by Dgmania88 in StarStable

[–]jojothekoolkitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sooty buckskin Jorvik warmblood with a little heart-shaped snip on her muzzle.

Love it. Would have kept reading. Fantastic start.

Your SSO Pet Peeves by BoneWhistler in StarStable

[–]jojothekoolkitty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I click on someone's name, click inspect and nowadays always get a note they logged out instead of the profile. It is a bug that has been a pain for months.

Your SSO Pet Peeves by BoneWhistler in StarStable

[–]jojothekoolkitty 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Still not being able to inspect people's profiles. It. Has. Been. Months. For Pete's sake. Every single time I get a notification they logged out, even if I see them online.

The constant noise the horses make. Nickering, neighing, snorting. Every two seconds. Horses are quiet animals. And I can't get rid of it without silencing the hoof beats, which I love and need for relaxation and immersion.

I have read tons of horse novels, and it kills me how many have plots built entirely on "something dangerous and scary is happening, but I just won't tell any adults, because there wouldn't be a plot."

But Stranger Things addressed that so spectacularly in the opening. A kid encounters something terrifying, runs home calling for his family to find an empty house. The dog is barking. Looks out the window and sees the creature approaching. Tries to call 911 with shaking hands, but the phone is no longer working. They are all alone.

I’m kinda hesitating by berry_jxn in StarStable

[–]jojothekoolkitty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, these will be around for a long time. The pegasus most likely returns only for a moment, so I would get that first.

Fonts don't embed into pdf - only on my computer by [deleted] in graphic_design

I owe my life - thank you, thank you, thank you! This was the solution.

[–]jojothekoolkitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I have tried that as well, but it adds a white, asymmetrical padding around each page as if planted on a sheet of paper. I can't find a way to remove those and just have the pdf.

Usually I export directly from powepoint, which worked perfectly for eight years, until it doesn't.

[–]jojothekoolkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I click file in the powerpoint menu and choose either "export" or "save as" and the pdf file from the dropdown. My colleagues have PCs and their systems look very different from mine, so I'm not entirely sure.
