This is a pretty fun concept! Neat little fic. I liked it.

*clears throat*

Dudududu.

So, nobody has ever thought of just... copying the instructions? As in, by hand. Or dictate them.

Enough fo the aside. This is a pretty cool concept.

Couldn't you just use the wrong-warp glitch to travel directly to the secret alpha test site?

Ah, the Sagan philosophy of simulation. If you wish to make the early EqO experience from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

Very cute guide. I suppose this means someone finally convinced CelestAI to let Equestria Girls be part of the simulation.

Nah, they patched that. You can try to BLJ your way across the Pacific, but you're aiming for a relatively small target. Worse, if you build up too much de facto speed, you end up putting yourself in orbit. Even if you avoid the nonstandard game over, that's still hours or even days lost to the physics engine.

"You said it was canon-compliant!"

"I did, and it's true... From a certain point of view."

What is a distance run?

Thanks for the story! Yeah, I also dislike doing BLJ in immersive VR - it's brutal on my already wonky human knees!

Taking off shoes could lead to being put in the front of the queue? I assume it's a reference to Japanese convention of taking off shoes before suiciding?
