retrospec | LOADING...OVERFLOW

Hello and happy new year! A lot of poll results came in from R&D and we've almost fixed taste all the way. Horses are almost fixed, too. We've been working pretty much non-stop around the holidays to stabilize everything, so I hope this works!

Just so you guys know, while we were working on fixing the original problems we received some alerts of residual effects outside of our usual domain. Don't worry though! Remember what I said a while ago? We're still moving more resources around into better defenses to protect the city from huge storms like last summer. We'll be taking care of that really soon and isolating the unknown problem.

I wish I could tell you more, but we're all working overtime here to finish the final stages of a big project. No matter what happens you guys should be safe while we finish up, so just stay calm, okay? Don't get too reckless!

Yeah, well, I have connections.

[ no he doesn't. ]

Is it going to be one of those puppet shows??
Mr. Rogers

yes
it would be set in a spooky castle
and all the puppets would be kid monsters
they are miss amis friends and she loves them all
and lets them know they are special just the way they are

You're going to need some sort of catchy song, dude.
It's a proven fact that without one, all kid shows are doomed to eternal failure.

hmm i dont know anything about music though
maybe i can commission james to write one!
his style would match the shows aesthetic pretty well
although we would probably have to tweak the lyrics for positivity lmao

Which James are we talking about here??

[there's more than one?]

barnes
you may remember him as the guy with the bionic arm

Oh him
I've only spoken to him once. He seemed cool.

He'd make a terrible PBS safe song. Hire them.

aye aye captain!

so anyway how was christmas

It was ok
I spent Christmas Eve at Anya's.
It felt like one of those dinners where your extended family is there and you're not entirely sure how everyone is related to you.

did she have a bunch of friends over?

There was just four of us.
One of them was that Yato guy
I assume everyone knows him as that one guy who just somehow keeps breaking into people's homes to sleep on their couches and hasn't gotten arrested for it yet.

ah
sort of the "weird uncle" character?

Pretty much.
That one guy who everyone is too afraid to ask if he's actually related or not so they just let him show up to all the family gatherings and eat all the food without bringing any himself.

haha oh dear
well as long as you still had a good time!

What about you?
Any weird uncles on your Christmas?

nah just a cranky grandma
she hates speaking english so i tried to impress her with my one semester of japanese
didnt work at all lmao
but she still cant beat me at catan so i think were even

Isn't that what truly counts?
Annihilating our elders at board games?

heck yes thats the true meaning of christmas

This holiday was built around defeating our elders.
I am pretty sure that's a Bible verse somewhere.
"Thou shall steal all of grandpa's property in Monopoly."
- Matthews

whoa were allowed to straight up steal it?
this changes everything
we can rob the bank and give to the poor
the boot and the scotty dog seize the means of production

We will grab capitalism by its white, skinny mustache and twirl it around our fingers like the vigilantes that we are.
But instead of fighting costumed villains, we're becoming Karl Marxesque Robin Hoods.

(which are like regular robin hoods but with german accents and beards twice the size of our heads)
its the fate of all robber barons to go to jail
go directly to jail
not pass go
and *certainly* not collect $200

Edited 2018-01-28 06:05 (UTC)

Shit
If anything, you'd end up owing them $200.
That's the only way to truly punish the capitalist board gamers.
Pay up, motherfuckers, you're getting jail tax.

its only fair
they made their bed and now they must sleep in it
where by bed i mean prison industrial complex
and by sleep i mean be held indefinitely without trial while also paying their own upkeep

They will have to make their own shivs by slowly collecting plastic silverware over a period of time.
And after they've collected enough they will then attempt to form some sort of utensil based shovel to dig them out to freedom.
It doesn't work. It never works.
