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!]

What the hell is all this?

That's quite helpful, thank you.

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

ok but what about pic filters
asking for a friend

[ that friend is himself. ]

Ah, so you've made it so that even someone as incompetent as Scorpion can use it.

thanks, drawing app might come in handy

A mapping app? You're officially my favorite.

This seems less benevolence and more your belatedly adding useful things you ought to have a week ago.

this is really decent of you. thanks.

[Damn Will, you a savage.]

That isn't what I meant.

Thank you!!! ˚✧₊⁎( ˘ω˘ )⁎⁺˳✧༚

Also I was reading above, but you weren't the one that made the tablets then?

A Sudoku? What an odd choice for a game

[No complaints here, he actually loves Sudoku. And crosswords. And puzzles.]

P.S. Thank you for the map application. I am sure it will serve everyone well

as in: she figures out how to use the drawing app, but by some utter technological failure, proceeds to send him everything she draws, including: a lot of fire, a balding man who looks as if he is clenching his teeth, more fire (she's getting better), a goat-like creature with one horn, fire, and a screenshot of a game of sudoku where someone just put in numbers at random because she doesn't know how sudoku works. ]

Thank you, these are very helpful.

I hate to ask for something else immediately, but if you still feel like coding the next thing we need is an alarm app. Without any cues as to what's day and night not everyone will be able to regulate their sleep long term. And people who don't keep to a schedule will start to lose their minds, I've seen it in space.

There's probably nothing I can do for you in exchange besides offer to be the one to scare people into using it, but if you think of something let me know?

This map tool is far better than I'd pictured. Thanks for getting it done so quickly.

Look at that. You did something useful.

[ It was inevitable really. ]

Hey, Doc, thanks for this.

I think we missed each other at the welcome party, so I've just got a quick question: in your experience, has anyone used the tablets to track or trace the location of anyone else here?
