Why is my avatar blinking with orbital bubbles? I can’t make it go. I tried dismissing all notifications, it’s sticking there and making me crazy. Please remove this! I don’t seem to have access to any meaningful chat channel either.

I just logged in again and got the Rewind again. Didn’t change anything on the localStorage. Probably an expired session cookie? Probably should be a flag in the DB…

This was just a quick experimental possibly throw-away project (though I hope we continue to do it). So yes, probably should be in the DB, but it is not. If you log out and back in, it also triggers the Rewind to happen. It’s something we will take a look at.
