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

six degrees of separation! some people know everybody [ looking at you, anya ] and maybe your name will come up someday.

"dog"?
affectionately, like how some parents use "pup"?

[ thanks anya ]

I certainly hope not. I don't like people talking about me behind my back.
Ah... not quite so affectionately. I had to google what your translation would be, and as much as I didn't want to tell you about myself, Standard Arabic gives a slightly different answer than Egyptian. The general sentiment isn't too far off. 'Son of a dog,' more or less.

even if they're all good things? [ i mean. anya only has good things to say about people ]

oh
there is an English equivalent for that, for a female dog that Retrospect would likely censor
i like dogs though! they're brave and loyal, with strong familial relationships
all good things

If I am not there, I don't want people talking about me.

Well. My parents must not have known that, but it hardly matters now. Are you this obtuse on purpose? Not everything is as positive as you want it to be, you know. I admit I liked the flattery, but you're taking it a little far.

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-04-04 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
hmm i get it. we'll all talk together

you're not the first to say that about me. i guess i never really notice positivity because that's just how it is?
godcards: (01.)

[personal profile] godcards 2017-04-04 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
No. I don't think you do get it.

Never would have guessed... anyway, I disagree. You've overdone your charm to the point of smothering. Possibly you're trying to misinterpret what I say on purpose. How can you look at every situation with such blatant naivety? You should know better at your age that's not how things work.

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-04-04 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
i wouldn't do it on purpose. and i don't think positivity is something people necessarily grow out of... it took a while for me to learn to see the good in things, you know?

And now you've gone full tilt into bullheaded, childlike innocence. At least that's how you're coming across, whether you're aware of it or not...

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-04-04 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
is that such a bad thing? the world could use some more childlike innocence, i think

[personal profile] godcards 2017-04-04 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
It's unrealistic. Not to mention grating.

[ ok mr. emotional dysfunction. ]

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-04-04 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
it's not *that* unrealistic
there's silver linings in everything, those aren't fake


[ he'll relent about the grating thing... by not bringing it up ]
godcards: (13.)

[personal profile] godcards 2017-04-04 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
No. You're wrong.
There are plenty of situations that if you look at them objectively, are still bad. It's almost worst to pretend like everything is okay so you can go back to ignoring matters for whatever made up happy scenario that's in your head.

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-04-04 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
the point isn't thinking that everything is good, but that a part of it is
that's why it's called a lining
not to ignore everything else, but bad things shouldn't be dwelled upon forever
they can coexist
godcards: (05.)

[personal profile] godcards 2017-04-04 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
There isn't always a lining, either. I won't try to convince you further, but we have very different viewpoints. I'm not about to be changing mine.

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-04-05 01:26 pm (UTC)(link)
i'm not trying to persuade you to change your worldview, i'd just like to share mine
but i'll stop for now
and i'll talk to you later, Malik! (*´∇`)ノ
