I'm feeling somewhat benevolent today.
After hearing a combination of your suggestions and complaints, I've decided to share.
You know, health of the community and all that.
For those of you still wildly inept with your tablets, just poke the letters that show up in a different color.


[Attached to this message, (a function not normally available for network posts,) is a link which yields several downloadable applications. Thankfully they're not malware or viruses, but hopefully helpful things, including:

- An app that translates text in images into spoken words. Good for the blind (or the illiterate). As it translates into the universal language of Beacon, it could also be used for deciphering foreign letters. Just snap a photo and you're good to go.

- A drawing app. Not as fancy as photoshop, but you can use your hands to make pretty pictures with a variety of colors and line weights.

- Related: a map app. It comes with a version of the current known map, which can be updated by the community. Shitposting will be promptly corrected. You stop that.

- And finally, a game: sudoku to be specific. Are you good at math and puzzles? Let's hope so, otherwise this will be pretty pointless for you. (This one's for you, Noctis.)

All four apps download together, so you're stuck with them even if you only wanted one. But the file isn't exactly labelled in anything other than random(?) numbers, so I suppose you wouldn't know that anyway.

Have fun, Beacon!]

That's quite helpful, thank you.

I suppose Sudoku isn't helpful, but it's appreciated.

[ he's actually not trying to be difficult, for once ]

We can call and send each other messages. What other functions do we need?

[ he's basically been conceptualizing these as like....weird flat cordless phones. combined with weird flat typewriters. ]

well the drawing and sudoku are pointless except for people looking to dick around but the map speaks for itself given how i can imagine some of us are itching to get the hell out of this town and find something decent

[ c'mon guy you're smart enough to figure out the map's value right don't make him explain this ]
fogey: (that's a crazy idea.)

[ rafe if you think he's been pushing buttons on the tablet to find apps you are dead wrong. he doesn't even know about the camera app. he doesn't even know about the clock. ]

There's a map in here?

[ help him ]

[ do computers exist on TUA's earth?? who even KNOWS ]

I've been thinking of it as a small flat typewriter.

[ there it is. ]

Those sound useful, at least, aside from the game. Then again, with the short attention spans some people around here have, maybe not.

it can literally be anything
you want hearts? there's hearts
you want the entire pic to look vintage? you can do that too
it really depends on the aesthetic you're going for and all that

so yes and no to your question?
like i said i could just show you
