“I bet Pickles could do whatever these things do twice as better!” *humph*
Twice as bet-? No matter, there is headway to be made!

1) You’re like a ninja or somethin’. You keep disappearing.
2) Look at that, a special agent offering their help!
3) Hmm… I don’t think having a daughter appointed to princess status automatically makes you a queen. I mean, if it did, she would have already been a queen when Shining Armor married Princess Cadance and became a prince. But it’s something to look into!
4) I don’t have the answer to that, Strawberry. And I said you were a powerful unicorn, not a penultimate wizard with a might beyond the collective strength of all the princess’s combined. I’ve often found myself wondering about the cat thing too, though. You were kind of eccentric. No offense.
“And it hurted my hoofie” :<
((Pro tip: if at the sole disposition of rocks, do not punch; seek softer materials.))
Alright. That didn’t work either… But I think we’re making progress!

1) Uh… I know Pac-Man is pretty good in Smash. It’s just that his grab is so terrible that fighting against ponies who shield a lot can be tough.
2) When you get your memory back I need to remember to remind you that B doesn’t like you… That sentence sounds off… Anyway.
Do you remember any of your spells? You were a pretty strong unicorn magician. Used to turn into a cat for months on end.
((It’s only the artist’s style, but twilight will never know.))
Lyra over-thinking things and making ponies uncomfortable.

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.
1) Well now… I’ve never heard it called that before.
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.
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.
