[Cueball is standing behind Ponytail, who is sitting on the floor playing a video game on a TV which displays a diagram of tectonic plates.]
Cueball: What game is that?
Ponytail: Tectonics!
Ponytail: You steer chunks of crust around, rifting, subducting, and building and eroding mountains.
[A view of the game screen is shown. It includes a large cross-section of the Earth with smaller charts around it.]
Ponytail: You try to keep your climate stable and your biosphere rich. Avoid making large igneous provinces! They're the worst.
[Cueball holds his hand out.]
Cueball: Cool!
Cueball: Can I try?
Ponytail: Sure!
[Cueball plays the game.]
Cueball: ...How do I unpause?
Ponytail: It's not paused.
Cueball: ...
Ponytail: Continents can only move a few inches per year.
[Cueball holds the controller in one hand, now uninterested in the game. The screen shows an achievement page with nothing completed.]
Cueball: It's real-time?
Ponytail: Just 400 millennia to go until your first mountain achievement!
