hi hi tiny cute people of ff = * x *= iv been getting more used to fz as part of my routine, not that i do much else... but um i have 2 rasters now n believe it or not i think they have the same favorite color!!! they both liked black sweaters when i let them dress themselves and i spent lik 40 min putting every single item down... like what is the odds of that theres so many colors in fz so i started thinking am i just unlucky is this some kind of fz omen? or are some favorit colors more common than others n im overthinking it???? also is favorite flavor the same as color idk?
we r all still learning about the game a bit right so this is important research!!! n pls dont tell me that a forum poll "barely constitutes as proper research" bc someone has already told me that and well = 6 x 6 = ughhh

proof btw i finally figured out how 2 upload pix

Hey there, to play this game just post one or more descriptions in this format:

'TCP who buys complex size candles as a bonfire.'
'Accountant TCP who deals with big tax fraud.'
'Rock Type stuck in a soup bowl.'
'Lawyer Type who breaks the law'
'TCP that believes that cubes aren't real.'

or anything of the sort. Only rule is that it has to be a tcp.

Bonus points if its somehow related or inspired by an above post.

with the recent public release of the virtual pet game 'friendzoo', there appears to be a glaring oversight in how one certain feature affects computer operators all accross morbit. the virtual creature programs themselves, which i will refer to as 'friendzoo rasters' or simply 'rasters' from here out, are given a form of pseudo-autonomy. friendzoo rasters are given the luxury of not only living on the designated sector of your harddrive they were deliberately installed upon, no, rasters are given the quite risky permissions to move around your operating system by themselves -- this includes moving over your network if your machine has access to the morbit mwide mweb.

as far as i have been able to gather, friendzoo was not designed to be a malicious acting software, so this is by no means a call to remove your copy or to scrutinize the developer team. but you should be aware, whether you have the game installed or not, friendzoo rasters may very well find a way to access your system. in theory this seems like it some sort of intended feature for rasters to be able to venture out into other player's homes. but in practise, rasters tend to not be able to locate actual installs of friendzoo to place themselves into particularly well, nor do they come with a function to send them back 'home'. thus, you may end up with a raster present on your operating system that is stuck somewhere it can not be interacted with. this can cause issues, especially on older machines. if access the internet, specifically if you engage in file sharing or instant messaging, this leaves you open to friendzoo raster possibly tagging along your activity uninvited.

one of the most obvious tell-tale signs for a raster having nested its way into your system without you knowing is immense slowdowns in very specific locations. you may find yourself unable to load certain folders, or having sudden unnatural spikes in CPU usage that have no other reasonable explanation. this may occur in a few areas for you even, rasters seem very fond of moving around in no particular pattern.

getting to the actual point. in order to catch a raster and place it somewhere it is not causing problems, you can either attempt to find and relocate them manually -- this is easiest if you are already aware of what folder they may be inhabiting, remember to set your file explorer to 'show hidden files' and 'show extensions' (a raster's extension will generally be '.frn') -- or, the more accessible method would be to install (or start) friendzoo, and leave the game open with a sort of 'lure' item placed for a while. rasters, much like real animals perhaps, are programmed to be intrigued by their 'food' items. moreso than they are intrigued by the rest of your operating system, rasters are thankfully easily persuaded through digital snacks. in the simulation, if you leave the door open, the raster can safely make its way into the game by itself and operate as it was intended, with visuals and all.

what can you do with a raster that has been caught? i am unsure at this time. not everyone has time for friendzoo shenanigans after all, and even when inserted back into their intended folder they may still decide to roam again. my suggestion is attempt to contact the previous raster owner, or try to find a new owner to send the rasters to. alternatively, i have noticed that a raster's roaming behavior will stop entirely while they are inside of an archived/compressed folder, but that is more of a temporary solution than a permanent one. rehoming rasters seems like it would be ideal. raster files can not be deleted. hope this helps for now.
