  1. Rarity, do I look like Pinkie Pie? Pretty sure I'd break my left front leg again if I even tried to.
  2. Probably my mom's mac and cheese, or Pinkie's cupcakes. By standing outside in the middle of a thunderstorm holding a lightning rod. But I wouldn't ever do that to you.

  9. MLB the show 22, WWE 2k22, and Gran Turismo 7 (since I bought it a few weeks ago). I also mix in Wreckfest and a couple others as time and my taste/feeling allows.
