The Only Winning Move
“No! No, I’m not playing again!” Button Mash slammed a hoof down on his character sheet—based on himself—and swept the dice off of the table. “This is nothing but a killer dungeon! No matter what I do or don’t do, I’m just going to die over and over!”
Sweetie Belle glared at him, eyes only just visible over the top of her DM screen.
“Why did we interrupt our usual weekly D&D session for this?” he asked.
Sweetie sighed. “Do you seriously not know, Button?”
“Wait, is this just because I forgot which day your birthday was?” He blinked. “I still got you something.”
Sweetie’s eye twitched, and she sputtered before pushing the DM screen over to plant both of her forehooves on the table. “That’s not the point! It’s not that you got me something or not! It’s the part where you forgot about it!” She closed her eyes for a moment and took a deep breath before fixing her gaze on him again. “And besides, it wasn't just the birthday. It’s also about what you said to my sister.”
“What did I say to her? Was it the part where I asked how her mane stayed that shape?”
Sweetie ground her hooves into the table and threw her head back in a growl that seemed to be restraining a scream. “You said ‘oh wow, you’re almost as old as my mom’! You said that to Rarity!”
Button blinked again, and cocked his head to one side. “And? What’s wrong with that?”
“Now she thinks she’s getting old!” Sweetie shouted. “She was in hysterics the entire day! I spent most of my birthday trying to console my hyperemotional sister instead of going out and having fun with you!” She sank down into the chair and grumbled. “And she ate all the ice cream I was going to have for my birthday, too…”
“I could… take you out to get more ice cream?”
Sweetie Belle stared at Button for a moment, then sighed and rubbed her temple with one hoof. “Okay, you know what? It’s a start.”
“Great! Just let me get my wallet and—”
“But if you ever do something like it again, I’m having Apple Bloom loan me an axe.”
“—and make a note to change the locks on our house.”

This reminds me of that comic book "Knights of the Dinner Table".
I'd like to see Button Mash play "Five Nights At Freddy's" just to see how many night's sleep he'd lose.
NIce job on this. It's funny, without being too gruesome, so I'll give it an upvote and fave.
Button playing a game about button! Reminds me of this:
5222256 I agree about FNaF
wow c.c
You know...This is exactly what a written out version of one of my attempts at a Resident Evil QTE scene would be like.
Hilarious short story! GOOD FCKING JOB! I am typing this in the dark, in a TENT, also it is extremely windy.
How did I not come across this! I laughed, and laughed, and laughed... ext.
This was a good read. No errors encountered, so no jolting out of visualizing the scenes. Good premise. Good plot. Good ending. Well researched too (gamer behavior, etc.)
Thumbs up and shelving.
Sequel? Button dies from overloving, an overdose of love?

I have had an idea for a sequel, but it's never moved past the "dumb and maybe funny idea" stage.
6051982 ok
This was very well dine, I like it ^_^
I started reading your shit you told me you had a gay Luna. Instead I got beauty in nature.
Followed.

That's canon for her in my fics, but I don't write much shipping, and even less that's not Mane Six. It's only come up twice thus far. Luna mentions a mare in her past in Do You Want Nightmare Moons?, but doesn't say outright she was her lover. And then Legacy is building towards Luna romance, so it'll be a major factor there. I just haven't worked on that one in a while.
A darkfic that ends on a moral note. Nice!
*reads this chapter* WHAT!
i thought sweetie was the killer all along but no it was just a game!
I thought the cover art said final masterbaition
better title:
button mash wants to play Dungeons And Dragons but sweetie belle forces him to play I Wanna Be The Guy.
