1) I worked a relief shift today. It’s where I only work a booth while somepony else takes a break, and then I ride a train to the next station and do it again. We probably missed each other.
2) You’re in luck! I know all about this sort of thing. In my experience, the best solution is to search for yourself! Where you used to work might be a good place to start.
3) I have! And the only thing that was a little weird was the TwiPie (as I’ve said in the past, we all know better than to ship TwiPie). As a story, it was fantastic and filled with neat little jokes on item/enemy descriptions that you wouldn’t get in any other form of media. Artistically it did the retro-style right, using the limitation on visuals as a tool instead of an excuse. But mechanically it was a poorly balanced slog. Characters, their abilities, enemies, bosses, items, equipment, money; it was all over the place in terms of difficulty/accessibility. It needed much better balancing/progression than what it had.
4) I think I’ve played the game long enough at this point. I like it! It continues to be fun and when the online mode isn’t going into slow-motion because someone’s latency is too high, it’s a constant source of entertainment! The balancing seems to be a lot better than the previous games, too. I always seem to find myself at home with Pikachu in this series, but for some reason this time around I’m doing some serious damage with Charizard of all fighters.
oh. who the fff—rick is Tootsie’s dad??? Have i never noticed him at these events??well, THANK YOU TOOTSIE ROLL’S MYSTERIOUS DAD.
Champagne. He’s usually the boy pony sitting next to the girl pony that keeps contorting her mouth and gasping at the things you do and say.
I’m pretty sure she, Tootsie’s mother, also wants to have you committed, but I guess that’s a little off topic.

LOL really? Why??
is it because young Tootsie Roll needs a positive male influence
that isnt a bearin her life? THats exactly it. isnt it.WELL ALRIGHT…WE WILL SEE…I WILL POSSIBLY SWING BY WITH MORE DESTRUCTION THIS YEAR!!—I MEAN FUN.
Actually, it’s because Tootsie’s dad thinks you’re hilarious. Probably in the same way that one would think a clown is hilarious.
Let’s… try not to talk about Krastos, please.

1) Bon-Bon: That sounds awful. Although…
2) Absolutely! Everypony is invited to Thanksgiving again! Even sexxi-bbz!
3) Oh, Hearthswarming I wouldn’t mind so much. But Nightmare Night is a festival. It’s not technically a holiday so I didn’t get overtime.
4) Well, it wasn’t great, but it was better than it began. So there’s that at least. Thanks!
5) No. If you couldn’t tell, I’ve intentionally omitted specific aspects of the event so as to not attract unwanted attention. I’ve never even used the public name of the thing to avoid the possibility of a post of mine being connected via tags. If you want to learn about it, I can give you a place to start. But if you want to know more or check different sources, you’ll have to research it yourself.
2) Bon-Bon: That doesn’t sound right… Even high school students would be back to their studies by then. Who would take those jobs?
3) It didn’t ultimately matter. I worked all night.
4) I got to eat candy, but I didn’t really dress up much.
Yes, the candy was stolen.
5) Bon-Bon: Haha! We showed this to Tootsie before Nightmare Night and she almost started crying about how she didn’t want twigs in her mane! But since we both had to work, she wound up traveling with a group.
Seriously, this happens all the time!
sry, 2nerd4me
lol REKT!
why does the new dash have to be a different shade of blue
I know! Ew! This shade of blue is awful! It used to be vibrant and now it’s just this faded gray-blue!
Ew! Double ew!

Because there’s nothing I’d rather do on my day off than spend the next two hours carefully choosing my words in response to what I can still only hope is a misunderstanding.
Before we even begin, I would like to remind everypony that at no point in my little rant did I state any position against those pushing for better ethics in game journalism. I think it’s a waste of effort, I will explain why shortly, but I have nothing against the effort itself.
A very intelligent professor once told me that there will be ponies in life that’ll insist that “If you’re not with us, you’re against us,” and that such a statement is nothing more than coercion. Consciously removing yourself from a conflict leaves only those engaged in the conflict. You help or hurt neither. I care for neither side of the debate. I didn’t care yesterday. I don’t care today. And I won’t care tomorrow.
Wow. The last four days sure have been progressively more and more awful.
Bon-Bon: Nopony if any credibility is going to work for that. At least not for what I could afford to pay them.
2) Too much hand to stand.
3) I haven’t, but I’m not surprised; I hated the first one. The real headtrip is that Lion King 2 was pretty good.
4) I was aware of the general idea of it for a while, but this message got me to look more into it. I found a quote that sums up my feelings pretty well. “It would be absurd if it hadn’t forced people out of their homes for fear of their personal safety.”
For anypony on the side of ethics in game journalism, if that’s what your real concern is, why would you banner behind something that was originally formed to deliberately harass somepony?
For that matter, why care about game journalism at all? I’ve taken it with a grain of salt for most of my life. Some of my favorite games received extremely negative reviews or little publicity, so why should I care what somepony else reports on? They already don’t know what’s good.
If you have some other reason to side with it, I have nothing to say to you.
Bon-Bon: Okay, so adequately explaining the mood we were walking into during the wedding requires some context. So-
Tootsie: Is this the pirate story?!
Bon-Bon: Yes, this is the pirate story.
Tootsie: I love the pirate story!
Bon-Bon: I know. I know. Okay, so. Well over a thousand years ago there lived two orphan siblings- a brother and a sister.
1) Lyra: …
Bon-Bon: Hey, you forgave me for that. You can’t go back and blame me again; that’s double jeopardy.
Lyra: None of your business.
2) Bon-Bon: Oh gosh. I’ve been so busy… And at this point the story is hardly worth the wait. Plus it would require some context… Let me see what I can do.
3) Bon-Bon: Ugh…
4) Tootsie: I’m gonna be a forest princess! Mom got me my own bow!
Bon-Bon: Nothing this year. I’m going to be working through Nightmare Night. Have to make up for lost time somewhere.
Lyra: I kinda want to go as, like, an animal.
5) Bon-Bon: I wouldn’t go that far. Ribbon is going to want to pick out who teaches her, when, where, with who, etc. Control control control.
No. No; you cannot possibly be so vain as to believe you could beat me in a musical competition.
They stick me, a musician, in a musical movie (where I’m human), put me into a musical competition, wherein I advance one round and then get beat by Trixie…
[omitted] you.
