Greetings, Users. Our system may be experiencing some residual glitches from a recent network malfunction. Our technical team is working on getting these issues under control. Please direct any concerns in the meantime to the HR department at humanresources@retrospec.com. Our staff has furthermore noticed a significant increase in tags and trends for #aprilfools and #pranks. Keep on your toes and be certain to tag your best tricks for Retrospec™! Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Any emails sent to the HR department will be returned with a failure to send notification, and will furthermore automatically be posted to the Retrospec network. Oops? Characters who have been in game for one month will find they can now change their profile pictures. Glitches will be in effect until the 15th and may include: -Usernames changing to a cat, dog, or bird pun. -The Retrospec application being changed into a neon color + animal theme of some variety. -Notifications going off at random and being unable to be turned off. -Various "special effects" crossing the screens when people comment. -Users having to beat a level of pac-man to access the application, and then being made to beat a new level every hour to keep using the application. -Thomas the Tank Engine memes being sent to users every hour for some reason. -Profile pictures being replaced by pictures of rabbits and easter eggs. -New creepy pasta stories appearing upon log-in, to be forwarded to someone before the app can continue to be used -Parental lock and auto-correct on cursing (i.e. fuck -> duck) -A parade of pixel Chocobos or dancing fruit scrolling across the screen after each comment posted

You know i take it back. You arent allowed to use these words.

[splinten]

Consarn it, Foghorn. I didn't mean any flapdoodle by it.

[potentite]

I should go on a speaking strike around you!

[splinten]

Calm down, Lysistrata. I'll end the war.

[potentite]

Who is that?

[godcards]

No. I've never had a pet, and I don't care to have one now. I don't... dislike animals, I just don't have a strong opinion either way.

[godcards]

Wouldn't eyedrops be more beneficial than shades, in that case?

[godcards]

That's if you get caught... and don't advertise it online, they'll know who to look out for. Although, I understand the point you're making.

[splinten]

Don't worry about it.
I already told you I'm cool with how you talk.

[godcards]

That is true... I suppose to further that line of thought, it's also a matter of what they want us to know. Which doesn't seem like much, given their lack of communication.

[potentite]

Im curious though!
Anyhoo i know you did it just... it still sounds stupid to most people.

[splinten]

Most people are as intellectually flexible as a 2x4.

[godcards]

No, it does not. It sounds stupid! I'd rather deal with autocorrect... although I could have the advantage of foreign swears, but it means nothing to others when it's not written in Roman script.

[godcards]

Meowlik Ishtar Yes, because it's really hard to notice that it's broken AGAIN... or that this new color scheme is giving me a headache.
Meowlik Ishtar The notifs are new, however. Although... not surprised about those being broken again either.

[potentite]

I dont know if it has to do with their intellect.

[potentite]

Plenty of swears even in other languages still sound rude!
Its all about context and confidence. Context tells the meaning but the confidence to say it gives it the right flavour!

[wiselys]

Bark2-D2 I guess they didn't want to mix cats and birds either. Or they're just not very clever.
Bark2-D2 The app has a theme, I have yellow snails. Thalia has bright blue cats. Were you not lucky enough for one?

[godcards]

That's the point.
I don't swear often, but my point stands when it comes to using "خرة" over text. It is not censored, but hard to read for most people. But I would rather use that than whatever... you're suggesting.

[ oh my god ]

Ritsmew Cattynyanya I don't know what I did to deserve this

[potentite]

Oh! Thats arabic isnt it?
Well of course youre free to use what youre comfortable with!
But im kind of hoping to spread these words a little. I mean theyre pretty unique!

[darkinferno]

Nyante Cattailen so you're also getting fond of sounding like you stepped out of some campy movie set in the fake 1800s
Nyante Cattailen i'm surprised there's no "gadzooks" on your list

[esperimental]

[ THANKS??? ]

at least I'm contributing something to society even in my suffering 💀

[godcards]

Yes. My dialect is Egyptian, so some words and meanings deviate from Standard Arabic.
I'll give you credit for them being unique... but I still can't see them catching on. Maybe if they were shorter, or didn't sound so dated.

[darkinferno]

Nyante Cattailen good guess
Nyante Cattailen it's not affecting anything else, my eyesight seems to be the same as it was before
Nyante Cattailen but that doesn't mean i like it

[esperimental]

Ritsmew Cattynyanya I have 3 whole letters kept intact
Ritsmew Cattynyanya THREE,
Ritsmew Cattynyanya How bored are these Retrospec people??
