1) You’re thinking like a gamer. Bon-Bon is more of the Farmville/Monopony type. Games that are distractions, not experiences. As far as I can see it, it’s a doomed dynamic. When she’s willing to give a game a chance, she plays slow-paced games that don’t have a lot to them. Then eventually she gets bored with them, because they’re slow-paced games that don’t have a lot to them.

Best to leave well enough alone. No reason to try and make a gamer out of somepony who’s not. Still, outstanding choice. This my jam.

2) Bon-Bon: I believe we’ve been formally introduced in the past, York. And 50 First Dates.

3) Well like I said before, that XCOM remake was made in Equestria. In our version you could play as earth, pegasus, or unicorn ponies. Made for a more diverse experience. Was pretty homogenized when all the ponies were turned human, but I don’t guess most humans would want to play as ponies.

Gee, doesn’t that sound familiar?

4) If you’re talking about Half-Life and Portal, then no, they don’t. It’s the environment and supporting cast that make the immersion decent. The characters themselves only detract from the experience.

Ponies- People don’t just stand there silently and emotionlessly take [omitted] forever, just because they don’t know if you as the player would be sad, angry, or happy from the outcome of an event. When you have a real character, you won’t always feel the same way as the one you’re playing. But that’s because you aren’t playing them, you’re witnessing a story take place. You’re not reading a book, you’re playing a book.

5) I wouldn’t know anything about that. I’m a pastel-colored equine in a world full of sentient creatures big and small. For all I know some distant world’s horses might view us ponies are catering to foalphiles.

I like the Amani, though.
