LOADING...OVERFLOW

[recollecters]

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! Joanne Wiseman Technician 2nd class Retrspec Incorporated As of this post taste tier 4 has been icly regained; tier 5 will go into effect on Saturday, January 6th at 9pm EST and taste will be fully restored!

I'm more the type of person who'd rather stay inside with a nice book than do anything dangerous, so I'm not in the best position to judge the ultra-risk takers.

[ossifragant]

You're better off, honestly.

Leave the thrill-seeking to the teenagers.

[thesettingsun]

Oh, to be young and stupid again.

[ossifragant]

I can't say I miss it

[but he's still stupid so]

[thesettingsun]

It had a couple perks, but for the most part I'm fine with being older and wiser.

[ossifragant]

pretty much

I'm pretty well over being a punk kid; though maybe that would actually help with the whole sticking it to the man thing
retrospec seem pretty okay with just ignoring us at the moment, and that's no good

[thesettingsun]

If the punks are any better at actually sticking it to the man, let me know. Right now everybody seems pretty much equally incapable of fixing this whole unreality business.

[ossifragant]

you're telling me
I have more important things to do right now than deal with a bunch of people running an app tell me they keep breaking reality

[thesettingsun]

If we could wait to break reality until I've finished all my college classes, that would be great.

[ossifragant]

or if we could just go without reality collapsing around us completely

that would be great too

[thesettingsun]

Let's not get crazy here. You're never going to get something like that, way too unrealistic.

[ossifragant]

damn
then I'll settle for being oblivious to the whole reality-breaking situation

[thesettingsun]

Ignorance is bliss, huh.

I'm not sure if I want that, but I'd be happier that way.

[ossifragant]

it's kind of one of those you're fucked no matter what happens situations

[thesettingsun]

In this case, I think I'd pick knowing and being miserable about it.

[ossifragant]

I honestly wouldn't know if that's the better option or not

[thesettingsun]

There isn't a strict better/worse. Do you want to feel relatively safe and happy? Or do you want to know what the hell is going on?

[ossifragant]

man both choices have their ups and downs, don't they?

[thesettingsun]

Maybe it's for the best that we don't actually get to decide, or we'd drive ourselves crazy trying to choose.

[ossifragant]

more than likely

[thesettingsun]

Should I thank them for that?

I'm not going to, but should I?

[ossifragant]

I don't know

I'd say no, mostly because screw that, not of us asked for it

[thesettingsun]

You're right. It's an 'it could hypothetically be worse, but it still sucks' situation.
