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!]

If I'd realized there was anything to learn, I obviously would've done it before now
