1) You bet I did! And I think I’ve pinned down why I like the show. The character’s react so real within the setting. I mean, when Pearl got [spoiler], the other Gems had that quiet look of [spoiler]. And their voices were just [spoiler], like when something happens that you can’t even conceive. Steven was so lost at what happened he didn’t even understand when the other Gems said [spoiler]. And Pearl herself was in [spoiler]. You could tell she was in [spoiler], but all she wanted to do was reassure Steven that [spoiler]. They’re just such great characters.
2) No~! Steven! It’s alright! This is nothing like that time you called me mom in front of your little friends. And I want you to know that absolutely no one remembers that either.
3) It’s fine! And yeah. I might look at stuff here and there for general ideas, but the whole thing is elitist min/maxers. Taking what should be an expansive game with all kinds of strategies, and boiling it down to damage damage damage. Going so far as to limit or forbid the use of things that create chance. Because it’s not about having fun; it’s about who’s better.
4) A singer in a smokey roo~m. A smell of wine and cheap perfu~me! For a smile they can share the night- It goes On and o~n and o~n and o~n!
5) It’s pretty nice. It has its flaws, like everything else. But it was by no means a bad game. It’s trivial to completely break the combat, such that even on the highest difficulty you’re nearly unkillable. But provided you don’t level up enchanting or potion making too high you can have a fun, balanced time with it.
Just a small town gi~rl! Liven in a lo~nely wo~rld! She took the midnight train goin’ a~ny~whe~re!
2) Bon-Bon: Seems like a semi-popular subject to explore. This one caught my interest because it takes more of a cultural look at the experience. It’s told by several ponies from what they know about title character. I’m a little ways in and we still haven’t heard from anypony that’s actually seen it.
3) Well… If I was told this is where I’d be five years ago I could have believed it. But to just think it up myself? No.
NO! Don’t try to kill it! It might have somepony captured!
1) Thanks! Mostly it was just a quiet evening. Which, after the day before’s sprawling play to help Rainbow Dash learn, that’s just fine. Bon-Bon says we’ll do something more for it later.
2) Ugh… Never been so glad my birthday was ogre.
3) Nope. I want a new laptop, but I’m waiting for it to go on sale. So Bon-Bon just gave me some money to help pay for it.
4) Thanks! I mean, it’s probably not technically my birthday anyway. It’s just the day we celebrate it. So really, early/late; it doesn’t matter!
Sarah, huh? That’s got a nice ring to it. And that cake is pretty [omitted] big, yes. Thanks!
A~nd it looks like Zombie Fluttershy is even friends with horseflies. And bad smells. Suddenly more unnerved by this concept than I was previously.
And here’s where I’d put all my birthday recognitions!
1) I haven’t. In fact, I never have. Not even back in Red/Blue/Yellow. Catching all of the Pokemon has never really interested me that much. But with the addition of critical captures, I’m enjoying a few easy catches since I have so many already. Gives more incentive to catch instead of defeat in order to raise the odds.
2) I know, but it was so well received! I just kept making calls and scheduling appointments. And everypony was so receptive!
There’s a number of concepts in place to try and balance the various methods of combat. Since I’ll need to make a post about it eventually, the short version is that while magic, by design, has the widest range of effects possible, each individual spell has to have additional points applied to it (after unlocking) to make it stronger (which in turn increases its cost, if you want to use the stronger version). So you can either have a bunch of different spells, or have a much smaller pool of spells that you’re actually good at.
On the other hoof, while there are much fewer individual physical attacks, while applying points to make them stronger too, you can also augment them to have additional effects that you can turn on or off depending on how much stamina you use. So, in addition to the armor insert effect applied to all of your physical attacks, you can add a knockback, add additional intimation damage, turn it into a multi-hit cleave, or all three at once if the situation calls.
4) Bon-Bon: Well, I could certainly put the attention to better use. I run a business, after all.
Lyra: But no. Fewer bizarre messages. Fewer messages period, really.
Bon-Bon: I haven’t really been paying attention to movies. I have a bunch of books I’ve been collecting during the busy season. Finally getting around to reading them! Reading one right now about a pony that was raised by timberwolves.
