hey, so if you've been playing roblox for a while (like me), you've probably heard of the notification feature, probably even used it. yeah, that icon that looks like a piece of paper next to the oddly detailed Robux icon. that one. it was added on November 22, 2016 (before i played the game, wow!!!). it was a convenient little feature that notified you about upcoming friend requests, game updates, blah blah blah... but most importantly, it showed you messages. now this is where trouble for me started.
1st encounter with the guy
it was like, 6 in the morning when i woke up, did my morning routine and such, and then hopped on good old roblox. before checking the continue tab to continue grinding on a zombie game I've been playing (damn you and your 500 levels!!!!!), something caught my attention. in the corner of my eye, the notification tab showed me 2 notifications. i originally assumed they were for the content deleted shirts i bought before (still waiting roblox), or just updates for games i followed. well, while the latter was true, there was something else that caught my attention. "Message from null:" lol??? what is this??? it didn't seem interactable, and it was (presumably) a message, so i went to the message tab to check out what it was. i was instead showed that there was NOTHING in my messages. confused, i check the notification tab again, to see that it was STILL there. confused, i decided to message my friends about it, to no avail of course, because this has never happened to any of them before. seeing as i was wasting my time, i ignored it and went on with my day as usual.
it's not loading God dammit!
well, that was a mistake on my part. about hours later, i decided that was enough roblox for the day, and exited roblox, going on well, to watch some videos instead. when i was on there, i decided to search the error up (since i was bored to death anyways), just to be greeted with random and well, myth videos. defeated once again, i retreat back to roblox.com, just to realized that the site won't LOAD???? just great!!! now i have to play flash games to pass the time!!!!! but boohoo no, it gets WORSE.
an artistic recreation of what happened 5 seconds later
exactly FIVE seconds after this, my computer just decides to just die???? for some reason??? apparently, this is because of "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT" or whatever. now i can't even play roblox on my main account or my computer will just die again whenever i get to the homepage. great.
so, to you, my dear reader, think of this as a cautionary tale, and if you're EVER messaged by something called null, you should just probably call it quits and log into another account, because the one that got messaged is probably doomed to crash your computer.
