Give an option to turn off the achievements, by far the most obnoxious thing in this year's con. It's like opening up your little sibling's laptop from the mid-2000s and five million popups making themselves known as soon as you hit the power button.

Every time I loaded up the stream or switch cytubes I'd get blasted with like 5 of them. Also annoying when they'd randomly appear during panel as their sounds are often louder than the panelists. I'm not asking to remove them for everyone, I'm just asking for a button so people can opt out of it.

Whoops, didn't see that this thread was up.
Reposting this: >>43143770
Before this thread dies, I'd like to ask if the anon who hosted the 'Writing a letter to Hasbro' panel mentioned if he would make a thread to showcase the finalized parchment before sending it out.
I'm still going through some day 1 vods, and I missed a decent chunk of the letter panel, so I haven't had the opportunity to check myself.

You want a medal for that? I'll let you know that I'm rank #229 and I'm tired of you elitist cheevofags comparing your no life number go up games with each other as if they mean anything. No, I'm not salty about the emotes. Congrats, your number went up, call up the presses. In the meantime I was actually enjoying all the panels I was attending and not sweating over APTS (short for Anal Points) like a spamming retard gambling addict. So go on, print out that screenshot and hang it up on a wall as a pitiful reminder that you didn't even make it into the top ten.

Here's the mini painting bumpers I made for anyone that wants them. The third one I couldn't get in time ao I might re-edit it for /mlp/con. I posted these to /create/ last night as well but it looks like that thread got slid off pretty soon after.

I'll be honest, I still don't know what those are. I joined one panel a few hours into the con, and Purp kept saying "the poll is open now!" but I didn't see any polls (I was expecting it to show up below the chat box as usual on Cytube, but there was nothing there). Everybody kept talking about achievements and unlocking emotes, but I didn't know what achievements were, and when I opened the emote box, it just looked the way it always does. There were three pictures of ponies at the top of the screen with numbers, but I didn't know what they represented. I felt like I'd walked into the middle of something. I got annoyed after a while and just sat out the rest of the con desu. It occurs to me now my browser was probably blocking popups with the polls in them or other information. I didn't see (or hear) anything like that. Oh well. And to be fair it's not like I went looking for information. I figured if I had to do homework to understand what was going on, I'd rather just go do something else with my weekend.

I'm not one of those people who thinks that if you're on /mlp/, you absolutely have to participate and love our online cons, but this is just normie autism.
You walked in without knowing what it was, so obviously you didn’t even take a second to read a bit of the thread or the official website like a good zoomer or autistic person who doesn’t want to change their routine one bit.
And obviously you closed the pop-up asking for permission to enable everything else

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for everyone who stopped by my store to buy merch over the weekend. I had a supremely cozy time thanks to all you wonderful faggots, and of course the team that put it all together. You guys are incredible. Hope to see some of you guys at Neighcon next month! I'll have some new merch with me.

I'm always a fan of all the drawing streams. It's nice to have something relaxing like those on as I work. Makes me wish I had more to say in their chat, aside from the empty encouragement and emote spam I provide. The 'letter to Hasbro'/Calligraphy anon panel was a particular highlight for me this year.
Liveleak anon and the Bonzipony panel were also quite fun, if disorganized and chaotic. I know the bonzipony one was more so a showcase, but I think you could base a panel off a pony chatbot interacting with the chat/thread.

It's shame that they ran mare karaoke panel for under an hour, still, I really enjoyed it and excited for the next time. It felt like I was with the anons at the hq even though I was just staring at the monitor with some booze. They said they're going to make the panel much longer next year.
>>43145796
Didn't know that panel was on this time.
>>
>>
>>43145679
Anons who can interact with the chat. And not just those who sit down. Take liveleakanon for example, what stated with an interesting concept of grinding mares, turned into workshop tour, goop bucket, future passion projects and finally burning himself. He's also a funny guy. Streams like that can really make a panel ten times better, as the audience can talk to you, you talk to them, and you are moving around
>>
>>
>>

>>43143703
I've got most of the panels uploaded now. If you see any issues with the recordings, please let me know and I will do what I can to fix them.
The following panels I know have issues and their upload is pending me fixing them:
>CYOA Live
>Interview with Dlirium
>bonziPONY
>Lesson Zero
Also as I try to collect the direct streams as well, I am missing the following direct streams:
>Marecon Jackbox
>bonziPONY
>All is not well in Moderation
>Drawing - The Drinking Game
>Come to Neighcon (I have most of it but I think i'm missing the first few minutes)
>EP for Twilight
>Random Mare Appreciation
>Who's That Offboarder
>Snowpity Inspection Day
I know the panelist said they would upload All is not well in moderation to PonyTube, so I'll be on the lookout for that. The only one that's really a problem is bonziPONY. I had both my CyTube recording and direct stream capture fail at the same time, I am probably missing some of the actual panel. The other archiving Anon said he also had some of the direct stream plus a recording of the cytube, but that he also had issues. If the panelist has his own copy that would be very useful, otherwise I'll do my best to put humpty dumpty back together.
Thanks for a great Marecon everypony!

My cytube recording is here: https://pony.tube/w/cxbsidqTs3EqFE7qph5GGc, aside from stuttering the stream was stuck for a moment and I had to reload the player, but seems like other viewers had this issue as well around the same time, so maybe it was caused by the panelist/Picarto.
As for stream copy, the panelist confirmed being too drunk (on mares) to record on his side: >>43141666, :evil: checked. I haven't checked my copy yet.
EP for Twilight was a bunch of .mp4s queued: >>43136209.
I'll do my best to check my copies of the streams you're missing tonight.

>>43145982
AI(N)WiM host here, I've uploaded a concatenated version of my presentation-turned-panelstream: https://pony.tube/w/2eMYni1FdTEEDJknTXEbSP
There's a cut at the 42:38 mark: I was changing OBS settings to make the stream run smoother, which necessitated stopping both the live broadcast and my recording. From what I did manage to record, approximately 2 minutes and 40 seconds have been losslessly cut out to avoid dead air and make the transition between "it's over" and "we're so back" as smooth as possible.
If you require the raw recordings (as fragmented as they get around that cut), I can provide them.
I would be greatly interested in chat recordings, as I had no view of CyTube for the first 20 minutes.

Did this panel not get recorded?
>>
>>43146240
>My cytube recording is here
I saw that. I probably make use of it. I think with that recording it bring the amount of missing panel down to about 1 minute from 8. If you have better footage/a direct stream of around 44:00 to 52:00 that would be nice, otherwise I'll just use the panel video from your chat recording. Also thank for reaching out to the panelist so that I'm not waiting for something that doesn't exist.
Here is the recording for EP for Twilight, does it look like got all of it?

I downloaded the stream from YouTube, but thanks for uploading your copy to PonyTube anyway (One less thing for me to upload). The issue was that the YouTube livestream became desynced part way through. I have all the pieces to fix it, I just have to put it together in a video editor. (And also thanks for the panel, I enjoy the live CYOA every time. Just wish I was able to catch more of it this year).

As the guy who really pushed the Mare Doom host on this, I have to say I’m glad you guys liked it.
I did it because I’ve always felt that anything related to multiplayer gaming with ponies and anons isn’t explored enough at these conventions, and that’s a shame because it’s wasted potential.
There are many weekly gaming sessions on this board, including entire generals dedicated to them, that could host game sessions or panels where anyone can join and play, attracting many more players than usual and raising awareness of these mods/games.
Not only is there DOOM, which is played weekly (we’re playing this Saturday! >>43147224), but Unreal Tournament 2004 also has an /mlp/ server (which we play every Sunday) and supports up to 32 players.
There’s also the /mlp/ server for SRB2 Kart, with various pony skins including /mlp/ OC skins, it’s really cool and supports up to 16 players, though I think that can be expanded.
HOI4 doesn’t allow more than 10 players? You could host a panel playing Equestria at War.
Then you have things like L4D2, Gmod, Team Fortress 2, and don’t we have a Them's Fightin' Herds general?
I never understood why these guys don’t host a tournament or something; I feel like it’s the only time of year where they can shine on the board and maybe even attract new or old players, Idk
>>
>>
>>43147527
oh, and yes, I understand that they could take up slot time in the schedule that could have gone to other more elaborate panels, so that’s risky.
At least this time, Mare Doom took place during a time slot that’s usually dead, and the ironic thing is that even despite the preconception that “it’s a dead time slot”, about 50 different players joined the game (with a peak of over 30 players online at the same time), that was nice.
Lesson: Never think of any time slot on the schedule as “bad” in the sense that no one will attend your panel, whether it’s because it’s late at night or too early in the morning for most anons (we all assume this week is going to mess up our sleep schedules anyways), or because there will be another hyped panel happening at the same time in another cytube (not everyone likes that panel, trust me).
>>
>>43147139
oops, read the wrong part of the reply. i appreciate your work immensely, glad i can help if even its just saving you an upload. CYOA as a panel wont die any time soon, im just on the fence of if its running its course or not. i dont wanna keep doing it if the novelty has worn thin, but ill leave that for other anons to decide before i stop them altogether

/tfhg/ died when the original devs for the game were bought out by modus. We used to have monthly tournaments that were hosted on the board through the thread with a reasonable turn out. I believe they almost made it to year 4 before calling it quits. There have been occasional tournaments hosted through the thread since then but the player base already dwindled.

I noticed the recording of I Hope My Dog Doesn't Bark has the video and chat severely out of sync, resulting in skipping the last song while watching chat's reaction to it ahead of time. In case anyone cares enough to fix:

Regarding the D'lirium panel - here are some things that weren't mentioned during the panel due to time constraints:
>In the initial version of the plot there were supposed to be some computer simulation shenanigans, Ada was supposed to discover that she is inside a simulation. That's why she started releasing evil into the real world, to prove that she's a real person.
>Abel was supposed to be one of the bosses whose goal was to try and prevent Ada from discovering the simulation thing
>Before release there were some thoughts to replace ponies with deer to avoid copyright troubles
And some other sources of inspiration for the game, that weren't mentioned during the panel:
>Sci fi book "Tunnel in the Sky" by Robert Heinlein (served as an inspiration for tunnels between worlds)
>Twin Peaks (the flashes in particular)
>Prey (2006 game, inspired the idea of personal hell for Ada)
>Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion (2014 game) and Event Horizon (1997 movie) inspired the chaotic, shifting intros
>Nosferatu (video game)
Also, for those who missed it, here's a document with a detailed description of the game development process:

And some more details by Igor, about that simulation idea:
>Originally, the game was supposed to have a different ending. Throughout her entire journey Ada followed strange cables, stretching out from the mansion itself. After talking with Abel, she went through a door and found herself in a small room with a computer nestled in a jumble of wires. On the computer screen, she saw herself standing in this room, staring at a monitor, and in the corner of the screen - code and the level editor. She was furious that her entire life, her fear and torment, were all a computer game, orchestrated by someone. She decided to defy the program and unleashed monsters into the real world, condemning it to a slow death, not even realizing that all of this was also written in the program code on the monitor. This ending was abandoned in the final stages of development: I wanted the game world to be real to its characters, and not to be computer simulated.
>Ada's entire journey made little sense, as the ending was the main point. It asked the player a question: What is God?
>Why do authors invent stories and worlds? Perhaps they want to write their name into cultural history? Perhaps they want to convey a message to society? Or perhaps they simply want to feel omnipotent?
>I am the author. I invented this world, I created these characters, imbued them with personality, shaped their destinies, and decided how they would think and what they would say. In the world I created, I am omnipotent; everyone does as I wish. If I am omnipotent, then I am God.
>And who is God to me? Who created my world, wrote my story, and made me speak? Who put me to bed, handed me a notebook, and made me write all this? Are these my thoughts or the thoughts of an equally invisible, omnipotent "director"? Is the world around me a world for everyone, or am I its protagonist, and the world beyond my field of vision simply doesn't exist until I go there? Why aren't there any cars on the street until I start walking, and then they miraculously appear?
>In D', Ada also wondered about these questions. I wonder about them too. But I was the one who put this thought into the main character's head; I decide what people will believe in my world, and whether they will believe it at all. The characters in D' sincerely believe in the reality of their world, just as we believe in the reality of ours.
>So does God exist? Humanity will never know, because God decides what humanity will think, what it will learn, and what it will only guess at. And only God will retcon reality itself again and again, and humanity will never even know about it, because this knowledge wasn't written into their program code.
>So the answer must be that every author is God to their creation. Just as we are all creations of our own author, God.
>And who created God?

I have done what I can to fix it. There's not a whole lot to synchronize it against, and even the YouTube direct stream had some problems. But please check it out and let me know what you think. I did several resyncs before the 5 minute mark, everything after that should be more or less aligned to the end of the stream.

Honestly seconding a big Minecraft/Minetest server. We all join, the panel runs for a few hours, and then the server gets taken down and the map gets uploaded as a special Marecon time capsule for us all to explore later.
Otherwise for panels, always hoping Purp and the gang bring more HLAIVR and other shitposting. It's hard to say what else I want to "return" as the serendipity of people just throwing a panel in and it being gold like Lenny's is half of the magic.

Why do you need that piece of shit? Its way worse than a video recording and we already have those. And I kinda half-given up on those. Like. To be a proper archival solution they need a lot of work. Like it needs to detect livestreams and start saving them when they are queued/played, same with regular videos, it needs to save stream timestamps to resync to chat afterwards, it needs to save all the emote (and maybe chat) links, it needs to detect and save all the .js / .css links in the channel js / css (probably recursively too), it need to record poleish bot socket to save advanced polls, the player site needs major rework. All those could be done but I 1) dont have the hdd capacity for all that video data 2) too disinterested in it to implement any of the above. And no, I wont stop recording those any time soon (that's why I'm only "half" given up), but I wont be Improving/fixing them either. And to answer your question, I do have the replay recording of all 3 days (and post con depression too). But I honestly don't know why would you want them. I mean, I can post them but why?

As a Team Coco I disagree, we weren't that far behind and I still had fun, and we won on 'apts' (apparently), it was just buried in the achievement menu as a meaningless statistic that still counted us as third place. Supposedly it means we got more rare achievements than Team Cheerilee or Cherry Berry. Plus we had a nice little comeback thanks to the waifufags even if it ended up being short lived. It's more interesting with three. Having the third team removed 'because of our performance' would be more of a humiliation.

Apologies for the delays once again.
direct streams:
>Marecon Jackbox
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMEzcVa0AaI, it's 01:26:26 but it cuts rather suddenly at the end. My cytube recording got screwed (see pic rel), so I wasn't sure if there was perhaps second part on another URL, but I've checked JSON in >>43155704 and AFAICT it appears that this was the only Jackbox stream. There were a few short videos right after it and then the bonziPONY stream.
>Drawing - The Drinking Game
As of now there's VOD at the original stream link (thanks panel anon!): https://pony.tube/w/g9R4oZfJPSxuTnPns7t5F6
>Come to Neighcon
reuploaded: https://pony.tube/w/7WroF2Ry3Fnfamqo4yYskH, the .ts was 49:05, I didn't notice any obvious gaps/seeking ahead during spot checks
>Random Mare Appreciation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwDXzHKnMW8
>Who's That Offboarder
https://pony.tube/w/nuWZndawPrmV11ErivthXT, the YT link is now unlisted again (thanks!)
>Snowpity Inspection Day
https://youtube.com/watch?v=StuQvseF02A, also unlisted again
>bonziPONY
Analysis so far:
>cytube .mkv (01:02:40)
00:00:06 - stream liv
00:00:36 - "wonderful, hi everybody"
00:44:48 - player shows X, but video and sound is still there
00:44:50 - "oh Lord"
00:45:04 - sniff
00:45:07 - player shows spinner around X, assuming stream was kill by then
00:45:52 - manual player reload
00:45:57 - "[fuck] yes, a drink!", stream is liv again
00:46:50 - "hi Chrysalis"
01:02:38 - "fuck", stream skipped
so, cytube would have a gap of 00:45:07 -> 00:45:57 = 50 seconds, perhaps the panelist had 50s gap on his side as well? (foreshadowing: a bit less)
>streamlink (timestamps as in .ts, they tend to change a bit when remuxed to .mp4)
>streamlink-2026-03-29T20:29:53+02:00.ts (44:53)
01:42 - "wonderful, hi everybody"
44:39 - "oh Lord"
44:53 - sniff, then stream is kill
>streamlink-2026-03-29T21:17:43+02:00.ts (17:15)
00:01 - "hi Chrysalis"
15:50 - "fuck", stream was skipped at this point
so, streamlink might have everything up to cytube's 00:45:07, but then is missing cytube's 00:45:57 -> 00:46:50 = 53 seconds of second part?
>yt-dlp
>stream 2026-03-29 20_52 [stream].mp4 (21:29)
21:13 - "oh Lord"
21:27 - sniff
>stream 2026-03-29 21_16 [stream].mp4 (18:21)
00:14 - "we're back!"
00:16 - "fuck yes, a drink!"
01:07 - "hi Chrysalis"
tldr: it appears that splicing together streamlink and yt-dlp's segments might create the a mostly complete copy of the stream, even a few early seconds from the "second part" that cytube player missed.
I'll start working on that in a moment, if you have a better copy let me know.What a fucking shitshow this is.
>>
>>43158110
I forgot to note that both streamlink and yt-dlp managed to capture the second part of the stream until panelist's computer explosionaka clicking stop streaming in OBS, which happened when the panel was already skipped on Cytube. So, a complete-ish copy might be possible.
>>
>>43158110
Fantastic stuff Anon. My direct stream captured two segments, approximately:
>00:06:42 - 00:43:42
>00:51:05 - 01:03:53
Timestamps relative to cytube recording, see link below.
Between what I had and the cytube recording you provided, I was able to fill in all but 00:43:41 - 00:45:46, though the 5 minutes up to 00:51:05 was cut from your cytube recording and has the polls overlayed. From what it sounds like it's possible we might be able to assemble a full copy of the direct stream (and the cytube recording by extension). If you just want to upload the raw streamlink recordings somewhere, that would be great. If you want me to upload what I have of the direct stream, let me know, otherwise I'll wait for you and just upload the fully assembled copy when I put it together.
You can see the current state of the panel here:
https://pony.tube/w/cfgXLRr2hKkhC3FfRUCnNk
>>
>>43158168
sigh, I forgot to check the first part's .ts for skipping ahead (which should've been expected given shorter length after remuxing), and of course there's at least 08:12-17:04 and 42:01-43:00 missing. Sorry.
Since you're offering to stitch this yourself, I've trimmed (via ffmpeg -c copy) my files to complement yours, as you might bring a less derped result:
>your Cytube timestamp | you/me sync point | url
>00:00 - 06:45 | 06:43/07:57 "Dash is too loud" | https://litter.catbox.moe/dh0082ccul2zttzb.mp4
>43:36 - 44:53 | 44:15/00:39 "okay" | https://litter.catbox.moe/tbeezwiyhan059ah.mp4
>45:31 - 51:29 | 45:48/00:17 "[fuck] yes, a drink!" | https://litter.catbox.moe/efxom30pye4420gr.mp4
Thanks anon!

I'd agree with your assessment that screen recordings are a bit better (as in, reliable and comfortable) than your replays, and as such I use the latter very sparingly. However, I absolutely adore that your tools solve another problem too - making the Cytube queues and chats not so ephemeral, available for perusing later via scripts. Those word clouds are a staple finishing touch to any pony event hosted on Cytube, and the marecon 2025 shirt wouldn't have been as delightful without the chat word salad. As far as my pony horizons go, these are things I've only seen on /mlp/, and engineering done for poniponi brings the utmost respect from me. There's too many ideas, too little time/money/energy, so those who actually can do things should be encouraged and praised.Even if the work isn't immediately visible to the majority of ponyfags, like the mascot mod UI thing.
You're probably right that turning those dumps into perfect long-term archives would be a lot of upfront work, and maintenance to keep up with channel scripts and whatnotinb4 dumping HARs for 3 days straight, then replayweb.page. That doesn't mean that what you've done so far and keep doing is of no use, anon. Glad to hear you'll go on.
And it's kinda fun to see you ponder on similar problems as I have, observing the tech wizards of /mlp/.

Good thing I was quick on the draw this time. Looks like we're going to be able to put humpty dumpty back together after all. So far it's looks like only a couple seconds missing, which probably never existed at all. Exporting the chat version now, I will also export a "direct stream" version later. A little bit of weirdness syncing during the first 5 minutes or so but I think I got it.
Thanks again Anon.

Thank you very much anon, any remaining jank fits the theme of the panel I suppose.
I wonder if this pain can be avoided or reduced for future cons somehow. Probably a reminder from con management to record locally if you don't stream on YT would be best. There's only so much you can do on the receiving side.
>>43158387
MKVToolNix escaped my mind for this use case, instead I found LosslessCut to be rather convenient, given the quick visual feedback unlike ffmpeg and MKVToolNix. >Electron, but it's not super annoying.

>>43158488
>Mission accomplished
Woohoo!
>I wonder if this pain can be avoided
As long as there's a recording of the direct stream, putting it together in KDenLive isn't too much of an issue. I do hope we continue to have others (including you) recording the chat as well. With three cytubes going at once one of my biggest fears is getting banned from YouTube (again). If that happens there's going to be some footage loss while I scramble to figure something out.

Had a dream Purp and Corp started fighting over a Twilight plushie. It ended with Purp trying to rape Corp, but he wasn't having it. He picked Purp up by the throat and choke slammed him.
Then everything changed and suddenly they were sitting facing each other in an empty hotel room. Corp was resting a silenced shotgun on his lap, pointing it at Purp. It was just like that scene in No Country For Old Men where Javier shoots Woody, except Purp was crying. I think he pissed himself too. He eventually reached out for the Twilight plushie that was sitting at Corp's side and that's when Corp shot him in the face.

Thread points were only awarded for original contributions, not reposts like whatsapp. Cheerilee beat them in both oc and reposts (fun). If she didn't she objectively wouldn't have gotten more points for it. This years point system was fairer than last years. Checking Day 3 archives shows a sea of Cheerilee. The only cope that can be made here is that the other teams got lazy and didn't try to counteract that, which is counterintuitive to your lie.

Sorry for the delay; here are all the songs used in PonePuzzle Time at Marecon 2026, along with a .txt file listing each song’s name and its corresponding link to YT (or Bandcamp, in the case of one of them).
The .mp3 files aren’t fancy or high quality btw; I downloaded them using the first website I came across.

I'd sacrifice my mare points in a heartbeat to prevent that, but I think something involving Hot Love (or whatever her new name may be) would be nicer. Hearts and Hooves theme, love potions gone awry, shameless shipping in chat, Cadance nowhere to be found. A temporary buddy system would be funny and not gay. Dial the waifu faggotry up to 11. Hoof holding emotes.

I have a memory of a panel from a while back. Not sure if it was marecon or mlpcon. All I can remember is that the panelist started it out playing robot unicorn attack. I don't even remember what the panel was about, but I have a feeling like there was something special there. Or maybe not, I don't know. Maybe it was a draw stream? I have a feeling like maybe it was a second channel thing. If anyone knows what I'm talking about could you tell me what the panel was.

It was a draw panel.
