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

Yeah.
Which I think I was too young to 'get'
That it was weird I mean.

I thought of it years later and looked it up.
And apparently there is an insanely dedicated mario fandom out there.
With the whole crazy family tree lined up.

notyourutopian: Do not take! (Distant and considering.)

[personal profile] notyourutopian 2017-04-03 12:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I was just talking to someone about that.
Like all the weird rules of the internet.
Except all we could think of or find was the porn one.

Which actually seems kind of fitting, really.

But yeah seriously a whole mario fandom.
With arguments and everything.

I kind of want to see the peep people

[personal profile] notyourutopian 2017-04-09 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
A kind of full-bodied world-weariness at the extent of what people can find to throw their lives into?
