Hello Users, For those of you who are new: Welcome to Retrospec™, the last social media network you will ever need. You are one of the few selected to test this exciting new platform based on our cutting-edge algorithms. Membership is not currently open to the public. However, we hope you will come to see how useful Retrospec™ is, given time. We have for your use a variety of features such as text, voice, video, and image posts. We encourage you to explore our many options. For all, new and old: Please be advised that should you go above and beyond the call of duty for Mr. Halloway's little game in the coming days, there may be a reward granted or information given. 100% completion would be the goal for that, should you have an interest. If you have no interest in the matter, please feel free to carry on as usual. R&D will not be handling further communiques for this month, or possibly the next few months. This should not, of course, have any impact on your usage of Retrospec™. The first milestone for the second of the colors lost has been met, and accordingly we have diverted resources to fix what could be fixed. R&D has alerted me that a bigger loss may occur in the near future, and I would advise you to be careful, though I am afraid neither they nor I can be much more detailed than that. Finally, I would like to extend congratulations to those of you who have now reached your sixth month. We hope you will continue to accept our assistance in these trying times. Thank you for your patience, Janet Wiseman Human Resources Retrspec Incorporated As of this post green fruits and flowers of this color regain their pigment. (Note: this is not all plants. This is just for flowers and fruits!) 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. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently. Any new characters will find that the first photo they upload is locked as their profile picture for the rest of the month. Characters who have been in game since February will find their profiles now have a 6 months badge. It does absolutely nothing of note. This post is an overflow from the original post here. Feel free to either carry over threads from there or create entirely new ones.

[Better be prepared, Fuuka has a bucket load of info to dump on him!]

Then maybe you might want to go with Stardew Valley or maybe even VA-11 HALL-A! They are pretty easy games to get into and I don't think you'll have any problems getting them either since they're on the computer!

Although, if you have a console, there is Superhot too! While you can play it on the computer, it is much better when you have a VR! On that note, there are quite a few job simulator games on the VR too! I think you'll have a lot of fun!

[And from here, he can see Fuuka rambling on and on and on!]

[insantafe]

[ ?! He’s gonna need Davey to decipher all this later, isn’t he. ]

Thanks for the suggestions, but… what’s a VR?

[yamagishi]

[Indeed, he will!]

Vitural Reality! It's a device where you put it on your head and you get to feel like you're in the game.

Although, it depends on which one you get. There is the HTC Vive or the Oculus Rift. However, there is quite a few copycats ones you can get too.

[Indeed, he most definitely will!]

[insantafe]

They can do that?

[ he is so out of touch how is he going to survive the convention ]

Sounds like it'd just make you get dizzy real fast, if you ask me. They make demos, though, right? Maybe I'll give one a try.

[yamagishi]

[Better study up!]

I don't see why they couldn't! There might be some that you could play at a local game store so you can see if it's something you might like!

I've tried it before and I never got dizzy.

[Said the girl who plays video games and MMOs on a daily basis]

[insantafe]

[ But he doesn’t even know where to start! He is so not ready for this. ]

I guess there’ll be demos at the convention if the stores don’t have anything to try out…

[ and then he'll see the prices and choke. ]

Job simulators, you said? What kind of simulators? Like, piloting planes? ‘Cause I’ve seen those on regular game systems before.

[yamagishi]

Oh! There's one where you get to be a cook or a clerk! Although, there's one where you can be a desk worker for a day.

[pause]

It sounds pretty fun, doesn't it?

[/deadpan]

[insantafe]

Oh sure, can’t get enough of that stuff. I’m a desk worker in real life, why wouldn’t I want to keep doing it in video games?

[ The very thought is making him reconsider this whole gaming thing. Why would anyone want that? ]

I bet I could try one of the cooking games, though - maybe use that to prove I can do it in real life too! It can’t be that different, right?

[yamagishi]

I suppose not! Although, take what I say with a grain of salt. I'm afraid I'm not much of a cook, I usually buy whatever I could find!

I know I've burnt ramen many times before!

[insantafe]

Oh, I’m in the same boat. Dave won’t let me touch the stove if he can help it, so it’s all microwave stuff or delivery for me, unless he wants to cook.

[yamagishi]

Does he even want you to touch it?

...You haven't burnt anything, have you?

[Because it sure would be nice to have fellow friend who burnt food like she did!]
