Twilight thought it was all so real-- the crisp morning air, the warmth of the rising sun, the ponies that went about their day-- it all seemed real to her. Yet, with the breaking of a single connection, everything comes crashing down, leaving a very confused girl wearing a VR headset.
Maybe she can still relog.

10574392
It's a remake.
10574393
Huh...
10574394
Yep...
10574394
Full rewrite from the ground up.
I suggest doing a little change to the title. Either this one or the old one
10574418
Done.
POG IT IS HERE


Already good :))))

Spread the word if you can!
I love it already!

What’s wrong with the original? :/
We were just reading the simulation argument by Nick Bostrom in my philosophy class this week.
10574524
Plot holes and failed sequels, mainly.

Nice.
It's a shame this last chapter is so short, it's a enjoyable read so far. Overpowered twilight is best twilight.

"What happens when you realize your life is a simulation?"
Me: Dammit, I wanted this to be a harem isekai with huge anime-tiddied furries!

As funny as this is, should you really be commenting rhis stuff on a rated E fic?
10575224
seconded
Congratulations, Tonkus, on getting this story featured! :D
10575227
:)

Ah hah! It lives! Again! Bring it brah!

10575535
Yup!
This taken out of context sounded like that one episode of Spongebob Squarepants
Damn, it's sounded a little dark for some reason... well, for me anyway.
Maybe you should add a dark tag
So was every Major character in ponyville hooked up to that machine? Is she some type of hero now outside of the machine? So many questions and not enough answers. I look forward to more.
I started to read this back in the day, and then it changed, it changed again. Is this the final version? Is it complete and just being released a chapter a day?
Nice solid 7/10 opener. Good job.
10576254
This is a total rewrite. The original still exists and is complete.
10576254
It's a rewrite, and the final version of Pony-Me. I'm publishing new chapters as I write them.
Now this is interesting. Never expected there to be a reboot for this story. I enjoyed the original story immensely, so I'm excited to see how this reimagining fleshes out.
10576455
:D
10575224 Modern rating systems confuse me. I see intense violence as PG-13, but innuendo is R... it's confusing!
Your story reminds me of this video.
10624122
ha. neat.
Still intriguing, still not entirely certain where this is going. Suspense! Kind of, in a meta sense.
:nervousgiggle:
sorry for breaking the 69 like chain..
10707776
No worries.
OOOohhhh, i thought this was just a random haha funny chapter for April 1st, is this actually a regular story update? Like, they’re just back in Equestria now? also loved the little bit about not realizing the first dream ended before the second one started, very clever ;)
10749290
Mmmkinda. It's more of a what if scenario based on the joke chapters I used to write for the original version of this story, where it's revealed that the human world is a simulation as well. This is just a slightly-less-ridiculous take on it. :V
So this is being rewritten?
Huh. I never got around to finishing the original version (stopped at the first Pinkie chapter I think), so I take it there's no reason to bother doing so now?
Either way I shall add this to my read later
(...where it will sit until I finally get around to frequently reading fanfics again).10764660
Yup, chapter-by-chapter. Updates are much slower though now that I'm in college.
