Video Games are Too Realistic These Days

"I’m just not sure how well I’ll do with this… video game, you said?" Twilight remarked. "I'm still no good with my hands and fingers."

"You'll get the hang of it, Princess," Sunset replied, grabbing a controller. "You’re gonna love Tirek's Revenge!"

Twilight gawked. "It's called what?!"

"Y'know, Tirek! From those old Equestrian bedtime stories. But here, he's this awesome villain you get to take down-"

"Sunset… did Celestia never tell you? Tirek is real."

"Huh?"

"I’ve fought him. He nearly destroyed Equestria. He's locked up in Tartarus as we speak! How did you think he was just a legend?"

"Well… how many ancient doomsday villains did Celestia tell you about before they became an imminent crisis?" Sunset asked quizzically.

Twilight thought for a moment. "Touché."

"So… you still want to play?"

After a moment, Twilight seized a controller. "I'm gonna kick his flank into the dirt."
