I check the New Posts tag every time but I only go into threads of topics I am interested in. I knew about the server change but I still keep to my handful of threads.
I know none of the fanfic people and am always amazed to see so many unrecognizable faces every time I read CaS to mark it as read on mobile

I've been on this forum for over a decade now (seven officially), I still have no idea what the Ashaverse Continuum is and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

There is the one fanfic thread I keep seeing active, whatever that is about.
Petri's arbitrary limit
CaS is the Orient of Beast's Lair
We lost fanfics, but we got character sheets.
He never sleeps. He never dies.
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.
Fun things stop being fun when you have a time limit to do them.

I feel like that's more a battle than a defeat. It's surely annoying.

There are two wolves inside of me. One is "I swear to god they changed the font of japanese text on twitter" and the other "no, it's so similar, I must be imagining things, my eyes must be playing tricks on me, I must be hallucinating. right? right??? right?????"
Have you recently updated your phone or system? CJK encoding can be tricky, and you could have been or are now using a chinese font instead. Has happened to me before, to the point of some kanji actually being hanzi before the switch.
Also, a post from like a week and a half ago supposedly about the same topic (I can't really check it since it requires a twitter account):

With the upcoming Trump tariffs about to start on computer parts I decided to just get a new PC now since I was already planning on shuffling stuff around for what I currently have to friends/family that were needing upgrades anyway. Didn't have a huge preference for the 5070 Ti vs the 9070 XT, just went with what I could get without relying on my family near a Microcenter because they were never actually able to go to that Microcenter when MSRP models were in stock. GPU and monitor were on a Newegg deal though I could have saved a little money getting something else, oh well.
MSRP models around here are like Bigfoot. Nobody's ever seen one and the majority of sane people are convinced it's a hoax.

Kept hearing the sound of furniture moving around just out of sight of the welcome desk. I peak my head around at the lounge and there's a small cluster of students looking at me with incredibly guilty expressions, but nothing visibly out of sorts. Okay, I think. Maybe something fell over, whatever.
This persists. Slams and bumps and laughter. Ok! Maybe they're rowdy, I think! And I go and I take another look!
They took the fucking study tables in the lounge and turned them on their side, vertically, and were playing wall ball off of them.
In the university library. Literally right outside of classrooms with classes in session. Adults with full facial hair, who started "fair enough"-ing me when I asked if they were fucking serious.
What the fuck is going on!!!! What is this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They knew you needed another weird work story in your portfolio. Heroes.

When my students do something bizarre I always think, damn how did they know I'm meeting friends this week and needed a new funny story.
