> AXSIS News: "The Suburbs"

Welcome to AXSIS News 8.0.4!

v "AXSIS Net Game 'The Suburbs' Fails To Meet Expectations, Crashes AXSIS Devices On Launch"

After being hyped up for its entire beta release period, AXSIS net game "The Suburbs" has landed - with a resounding thud.

Unlike the surprisingly tightly-programmed beta version, the full release of "The Suburbs" was plagued with numerous bugs that caused a complete crash of the AXSIS device used to run it, with some consumers reporting that their device was then unable to be booted again.

These bugs are, according to AXSIS Net data mapping, widespread, and authorities are warning consumers that, if they have downloaded "The Suburbs", they should uninstall it as soon as possible. Authorities also reminded consumers that, as AXSIS IdentiCard is the only valid government-recognized form of identification in the vast majority of regions worldwide, if their AXSIS device was rendered inoperable, they should purchase a new one as soon as possible.

SuburbanSpawl, developer of "The Suburbs", has maintained radio silence since the release of their game and has been unable to be reached for comment.

[WB] im just throwin stuff against the wall right now
[WB] seein what sticks
[RS] well...
[RS] thanks. i appreciate hearing that.
[RS] it's hard for me to talk to people sometimes.
[RS] i always feel like everyone's going to shout me down no matter what i say.
[RS] i can't ever tell how people are actually feeling.
[RS] especially in text. so i just don't say things.
[RS] and then i just scream into the void of weblog, and then i feel better.
[WB] really
[RS] well, not 'better'. maybe 'less bad.'
[RS] maybe 'less bad for the moment.'
[WB] ah gotcha
[RS] but the way i see it is that if i just shove every bad feeling down, eventually i can forget about it.
[WB] i
[WB] uh
[WB] i dont think it works that way
[RS] hey, don't ruin my dreams here.
[WB] hah
[WB] was that an actual honest to goodness joke

[WB] desta
[WB] i want you to be real with me
[WB] did you message axsis
[WB] ask them for a joke

[RS] i wanted to tell you that i appreciated you talking to me today.

[RS] hey, makani.

[CB] Tone.
[RS] i, uh...
[RS] an answering machine?
[RS] um. sorry. i guess i'll try again later?
[CB] No no don't worry Desta.
[CB] I'm just messing what's up question mark.
[RS] oh.
[RS] i was just wondering if you'd heard from fiametta.
[CB] Not since yesterday she messaged me in the middle of the day.
[CB] She was worried about her birthday dinner.
[CB] I haven't talked to her yet today but then she also isn't normally up this early.
[RS] oh, um... well...
[RS] here.
RiskySophism has forwarded a link: "Missing Citizens Report: 6d5mo"
[CB] Wait.
[CB] Fiametta's on here.
[CB] Fiametta's on here Desta what's going on.
[RS] from the sounds of it, she left her birthday dinner, and then disappeared.
[RS] i thought she might have at least contacted you.
[CB] No she probably shut her AXSIS off ASAP so she couldn't be tracked.
[CB] Smart move but it doesn't help us.
[RS] hrm.
[RS] well... if she does contact anyone, i expect it'd be you.
[CB] Maybe maybe not.
[RS] what do you mean?
[CB] She always got on really well with our teacher Ms. K.
[CB] Maybe she saw her I can ask.
[RS] okay. is there anyone else she might have gotten in touch with?
[CB] I don't know.
[CB] Maybe some other friend or someone who might have had a connection to her.
[RS] i'll see if i can find anything out.
[CB] Okay I'll keep you posted.
