i'm sure it happened to some poor soul somewhere
unless they were cheating and got caught out tbh then they're not a poor soul they totally had it coming

but yeah
much less menacing than giant slimes

[thesettingsun]

That would be a natural consequence and what they deserved.

Maybe this is what they meant by saying the next thing was probably harmless.

[sharplydressed]

oh yeah
i totally forgot they said that...
i guess it's nice they kind of gave us a heads up at least
or something



nah still salty

[thesettingsun]

I am a salt mine and don't picture myself getting any more favorable towards them any time soon.

[sharplydressed]

same ┐(´～｀)┌
i cant believe i'm so used to this that i look at stuff like massively misfired texts and go
wow we got off easy this month

[thesettingsun]

At least we aren't literally in danger of dying. God, we have such low standards.

[sharplydressed]

i mean
at least it can't get lower than that


that's not a challenge btw @retrospec

[thesettingsun]

I'm just fine with my standards this low! Maybe keep them here for a while!

[sharplydressed]

s a m e
i'm fine with this
mostly
since apparently going back to totally normal is a distant dream

[thesettingsun]

Apparently it's too much to ask that we stop living in fear of waking up to not having colors, or animals, or the ocean.

[sharplydressed]

when you put it all together like that it makes me wonder how we managed to survive through it all tbh

[thesettingsun]

By being stubborn as hell, probably.

[sharplydressed]

i guess there's something to be said for ridiculous hardheadedness

[thesettingsun]

Sometimes spite will get you farther than hope will.

[sharplydressed]

that's the truest thing
like the saddest
but the truest
retrospec prob should have considered that before making us all annoyed and tired every day

[thesettingsun]

Does that mean that if they were polite we would give up sooner?

[sharplydressed]

i'm not sure about that...
but i mean
we'd have less of a reason to be up in arms against them i guess

[thesettingsun]

That's true. We'd sink into despair much more easily.

[sharplydressed]

now people have a reason to want to burn down their hq instead!
productivity

[thesettingsun]

To be fair, a company is a much more immediate target than 'unreality'. How do you even fight unreality?

[sharplydressed]

good point and good question
i mean
we kind of did but that was also parts of unreality that were really easy to deal with in a semi normal way
the monsters i mean
fighting that is pretty straightforward

[thesettingsun]

We usually don't have straightforward targets like that. Even when we were tiny - you can fight all the bugs you want, but they're not actually responsible for any of this. They're just being bugs.

[sharplydressed]

yeah
it was a little cathartic at first maybe?
but that kind of stuff just get sold fast
*gets old
it would really be ideal if we could stop having big OR small problems but i've accepted that probably won't be the case as long as we're on the network
which i guess is better than being totally ignorant maybe...

[thesettingsun]

I don't want to think about the possibility that I'll suddenly forget all this and go back to thinking that blue and green aren't real colors and that horses are made up.

[sharplydressed]

it's kind of spooky to think about isn't it?
especially since stuff maurice said made it sound like that's how it was for all of us before we ended up with the app
even the "first group" i was part of
ugh
