1) B: I’ve seen one of those before. It’ll show you whatever you want to see, with no bearing on what’s real. Great if you want a five second vacation in your head, but little else.
B: If there were an easy solution to everypony’s problems, we’d have used it.
2) Alright, look. I’m in hard mode here and this Macca is important. If I give you some will you for real join me?
3) Well, that is sort of the point. Being ruled by a single entity for a long duration only works if the one in charge is truly benevolent and willing to sacrifice for the advancement of his/her subjects.
Otherwise a government for the ruled needs to be governed by the ruled. Rotating an individual in and out every few years only minimizes the damage caused by whoever managed to win a popularity contest.
4) Thanks! That means a lot. Things are a little… shaky right now, but I’m okay and I hope to be here for many years more!

I can’t tell if this is something I would do to Bon-Bon or something Bon-Bon would do to me.

1) Overestimated? No. I think you just have no idea what exactly you should be afraid of. Which is how it’s supposed to be. At least I always thought so…
2) I don’t know for certain what this means. I’m going to guess “no” but I reserve the right to change my answer if need be.
3) Well… Casual games are certainly all about having fun. If a casual game isn’t fun then it has failed as an electronic form of entertainment. But not all games are necessarily very fun. They can offer other things instead. Usually a sense of accomplishment. I might not be having any fun clicking through menus to twink upgrades on weapons and armor, but I can get a great sense of accomplishment once I see the fruit of that effort.
The problem is when casual games, like what Call of Duty actually was (maybe even still is, I don’t know I haven’t played one in a while), get inundated by “hardcore demographics” looking for a sense of accomplishment in a game that’s supposed to just be fun. And of course, if those mic-chewing pricks tried to pick up a real hardcore game, like EVE, they’d get ground up and used for space fuel.
And thus we have the brown/gray, washed out games that are supposed to be “big name titles” catering to this “hardcore demographic” with games that are about as hardcore as J-Pop. Congratulations. You know where to stand, where other players will spawn, and the most efficient method of killing them. Once you get there, you’re not playing anything. You’re just acting on your own conditioned responses. This is also why I hate MOBAs.
4) Well, yes. But you have to remember that prisons in Equestria aren’t just cages. They teach real skills and can even hire prisoners to work on public projects.
B: You still don’t get it, do you? They know who you are. They were watching you. They were the ones that took your house. They know what you can do and they can track you. Any ace-in-the-hole you could have provided is gone, if it ever safely existed.
B: This is not something one pony can solve.
On the train from Manehatten to Ponyville to help a friend of mine with something that may be one of the biggest things to happen to her.
It’s a good thing that this computer has internet access, otherwise I’d be bored to tears. Going to watch something on Netflix. I think I’ll watch Escape From New York (1981, John Carpenter) tonight. What do you think Zach?
1) And it was awesome! Thank you so- Ginza, huh? Opening those mystical chests for the best reward? Sacrifice fusion? Oh! Maybe you’re trying to get a stat up from the shop using tickets!
2) Well, I was supposed to be substituting for the summer. Haven’t worked a day yet. Not looking good.
3) Oh, I don’t know. They aren’t mine. I’m sure they could if they wanted to, but I don’t know for certain. I don’t eat flowers much. They’re kind of expensive. A daffodil and daisy sandwich is like… [omitted] 3 bits.
4) I played GTC 4’s multiplayer a little at a friend’s house. Was fun!
5) Lyra: … Can I-?
Bon-Bon: No you can’t play with a leaf blower.
Lyra: Aw…
Bon-Bon: But of course I’d welcome a new costumer! Not that Pinkie Pie empties out the store or anything. Reliable, though.
Lyra: I don’t know how well I could live by that, but it is cute and adorable and happy and upbeat. Kush kush!
6) Very tiring. Also somewhat disturbing to view, from what I’ve been told.
7) Uh… Rarijack.
Well, alright then.
You got something in your eye.
Oh my God! Oh! My! Go~d! This is the coolest thing ever! Thank you so much! I got this hours ago and I’m still freaking out! It’s so amazing!
1) I know, right? On my end it’s more like, “Yeah, I’m playing on the higher difficulty setting but, you know, it’s-it’s taking me a while to clear.” And this one time in particular-, “What are you even doing? 200 hours? And you’re only that far? I completely beat Disgaea in 80.” And I’m all like- da [omitted], dood? All I did was ask a question. Was that even called for?
2) Big enough that I don’t really care about it but have operational knowledge.
3) B: How and were I spend my limited free time is my business.
4) Well, I know Rarijack is. If Flutterdash is canon that would just leave Twipie. And I think we all know better than to ship Twipie.
As a disclaimer: this is a joke and I have no idea.
5) Well… It’s a group of unicorns who’s job is to offer their body and mind for six hours a day to a magical system that monitors vital signs for anomalies. They have no memory of anything they’ve witnessed, in order to maintain privacy.
But the story goes, they can tell the difference between a pony who’s upset about something from a pony who’s getting a rush from thinking about killing somepony. It’s why there’s so few premeditated murders in Equestria.
It’s been around for a while but after what happened in Canterlot it was expanded considerably. And after what happened with Cadance and the changlings they now monitor even the Princesses.
