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

Isn't that an oxymoron?
Anyway, at least it sounds like they're putting their information collecting to use. They just happened to confuse the two of you... for whatever reason.

[parodeity]

i mean this sure is SOME kind of use
not sure its a GOOD use or even a logical one
but ok

preppy goth is an oxymoron but google will tell you it exists

[godcards]

I'm not arguing in defense of them, but considering they already had our names, at the very least, when the app installed... And these 'gifts' they keep sending people... It does appear like they're flaunting their knowledge of us, however silly it may be.

I am not googling that. I don't want to know.

[parodeity]

i could google it for you and make you look but ill be nice

and yeah they do seem to be flaunting it
case in point:
sending me shades right before my eyes went stupid

[godcards]

I am not any iteration of goth, for the record.

Stupid... How so? I take it you're not blind or else you wouldn't be able to text.

[parodeity]

they're red

[godcards]

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

[parodeity]

no like
the iris
the color of my eyes is red now
instead of hazel

[godcards]

Oh. That's quite different.
I presume you've been asked this a lot and you have no answers, but how is that possible? Let me guess... you just woke up like that?

[parodeity]

yeah
tho they sent me shades the day before it happened
retrospec i mean

[godcards]

Do you think they changed your eyes as well? Knowingly? That's a pretty convenient coincidence otherwise.

[parodeity]

its my best guess at this time ig?

[godcards]

Interesting. Has it affected your vision at all?

[parodeity]

surprisingly no
though people keep thinking im more sensitive to light im not actually?

[godcards]

If you're wearing shades, I can't blame them.

One more question... does the change bother you at all?

[parodeity]

it did at first because it was like
before a bunch of people started getting them
and it still does sometimes
but its what i expect to see when i look in a mirror so
shrug
