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

both is good, miss woof.

Mine have been a mix too I guess.
And like, I guess it can't be real.
But it feels real.
So

...I don't know.

[notyourutopian]

Elliecat Maybe this is the photo filter result.
Elliecat It's just your whole life is in photo filter now.

Elliecat I kind of like the Thomas memes though, they're cute.

[notyourutopian]

What would be distinctive...?
Hm.

I have a friend who's hair changed color.
But that's still kind of innocuous...

[notyourutopian]

[There's a long delay as she thinks this over.]

Elliecat I don't really know?
Elliecat My parents have never been big on church. I think we used to be catholic?
Elliecat I guess I don't think about it much. I mean, if there is a god, they can...do their god thing.
Elliecat And I'll do my thing.

[notyourutopian]

Elliecat They don't, probably.
Elliecat I just know more about them then video editing.

[notyourutopian]

A kind of full-bodied world-weariness at the extent of what people can find to throw their lives into?

[arahoushi]

I'll make sure I only send you funny ones from now on, deal?

[arahoushi]

To be fair, if a train looked at me with that face, I'd have a lifelong fear of trains, too. Look at that thing. It's up to something and I don't want to know what

[rhapsodeity]

i think they hate ours most :O
because we grew up in a point where all we knew was technology or something lol

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its challenging and fun and has an electronic element so it kind of is like a bridge from video games to board games :D

[rhapsodeity]

you are the best may!!!!!!!!!
but i think you should keep that under wraps hehehe
or else you would not be making that money you deserve :)
soooooo if it is ok, can we keep that a secret :o

[strongestheart]

[It's just another in the long list of skills she clearly didn't realize she has.]

Maya Aidoggo Ali-cat!
Maya Aidoggo ...that's probably actually the best I've got.

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa That's fair, there's only so much you can do. It's also hard to justify putting a lot of effort into that resistance when we don't know what we're resisting against. And, if we've got a social application, why not use it, for, well, talking to people and meeting new people?
Hitori Togusa So long as people are careful about what information they put on here, which people have been, whatever Retrospec wants out of us will become obvious in time. In the meantime, it's gotten more people interacting with their neighbors.

[notyourutopian]

Not my favorite but it's fun.
Although it's the music that pops into my head the most I think.

[burningblossoms]

Leonardo da Vinci.

I'll have to work out the secret to raising the dead though.

[notyourutopian]

Right?
Every time I think this can't get more bizarre.
It does.

[notyourutopian]

It's...hard to explain.
I suppose that's why I thought they were dreams at first.
No matter how strange dreams are, I'm still me in them, you know?

[notyourutopian]

Elliecat Tracking cookies only go so far. This would have to be something almost personal. Physical.
Elliecat When I turn the TV on it tries to default to the app. But the app doesn't actually work, so it just goes back to netflix.

[notyourutopian]

Young whippersnappers changing the world into something they don't understand?
We're monsters, Jade. Monsters!

Well how can I argue with that?
I will try not to be terrible at it.
But I doubt we can play it all evening.

[notyourutopian]

You already have a plan to replace me.
I am trying to decide if I'm concerned or impressed.

[arahoushi]

Toshi Inyaue Search engines are the source of my power. nothing can stop me now

[frostythehitman]

Bluejaymes Barkes Yeah, right. You seriously think you can build a Thomas the Tank Robot faster than you can make a video of it?

[frostythehitman]

Bluejaymes Barkes Not in any store I've ever been in.

[frostythehitman]

Bluejaymes Barkes I bet this is exactly what google had in mind when they first launched.

[notyourutopian]

I don't know. Maybe.
I'd have to learn video editing from scratch.
