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

tbh i think its just an inconsistent piece of shit
i cant say the f word
or like
heck
but with double hockeysticks?

[parodeity]

*that but not red

[notbunaga]

...so what? they can't keep font formatting under control either?

[parodeity]

no thats just me
its a compulsion i guess
or a habit
which was not mine but there you go

[notbunaga]

[she's literally just

staring at her screen just trying to process this, which is why there's a delay before she responds.]

are you trying to tell me you do this without meaning to

[parodeity]

i never said it was a habit that didnt sound stupid as duck

god i hate this app

[notbunaga]

it isnt that
just

i mean, memories are one thing
even stupid appearance stuff
but...
i know font is a minor thing and it's hardly anything worth worrying over
but affecting someone's behaviour even in this tiny little insignificant way is
kinda
unsettling to think about
how far is this going to go?

[parodeity]

i think it can go further than that
if you remember enough of how you acted in whatever that was
sometimes it can start to effect how you act here i think
or at least i know ive been picking up a few traits that i maybe didnt have before
for various reasons

[notbunaga]

i havent had anything like that happen to me...yet, at least
thankfully
what kind of stuff have you 'picked up'?

[parodeity]

the red text thing
reflexes
a certain mode of thinking more and more i guess

[notbunaga]

...as if this entire thing wasnt messed up enough to begin with

[parodeity]

im taking the fatalistic approach that its just gonna keep getting more messed up
apparently
