I must say for an obvious MSPainting it's pretty damn good.
(how did you put the gradient on the goggles and the semitransparent text though? copied into Powerpoint or such?)
Tahrey: >TFW you find a small altoids-type box whilst doing a back bedroom clearout with a bunch of strange coins and silvery buttons in it that would have been just perfect to act as septims a few days after uploading this.
Tahrey: Is he the guy who puts a load of latex stuff on his face and then moulds it into a variety of disturbing character masks whilst it's still setting, on-camera?
Tahrey: > gets to part about planning to cut open a soup can to use as a makeshift cutter
> impromptu reflexive biting of fingers in horror at what's almost certainly going to result
Tahrey: ah, it's just because there seems to be that same blue glow in both pics, I figured it was from the scroll in this one being stuffed into her bag in the other :D
Tahrey: Well, you could claim it was parchment and we'd be none the wiser, seeing as it's come out about the same colour as the already-used greaseproof baking paper I wrapped around my "basic mead" bottle ;)
Tahrey: Date/time the picture was taken: literally an hour or two before upload.
Camera make/model/settings: Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini, mostly auto but usually with flash forced on or off as appropriate and occasionally forced focus or exposure.
Location: I always turn that shit off as part of the initial device setup, so no fear there. The GPS only ever gets turned on when absolutely necessary anyway, because cellphone GPS in general and Samsung's in particular is utterly hopeless and mainly just drains the battery for no real benefit.
As for stripping it etc before upload, maybe a bit tricky on a smartphone that I was already having upload issues with, but I might try filtering through that site in future if needed.
But really I don't understand why it even bothers including that info when it would be just as easy to change the orientation of the picture before encoding it... I mean, if it knows enough to set a rotation tag, it knows enough to save it the right way up, right?
(I'd prefer that it did neither, in fact, rather than attempting to save some kind of corrective data and making things worse. At least then I'd only have myself to blame for not correcting the rotation before upload)
Anyway, I assume the pic refers to someone handing her the scroll in trust to "just have a look at", then the other picture is the follow-up where she and her accomplice(s) are running like hell with no intention of actually giving it back?
Tahrey: Hepatitis-and-fish flavour? I think I may have to find a way to effectively zoom this then actually read it instead of just looking at the photo thumbnails.
Tahrey: puzzle plus brain minus pants = oblivion portal ... and it's either Katia or Asotil's fault
horrors from said portal + aggy + dwemer technology + errant orc = way to remote control the horrors and also teach orc a lesson
inexplicable lizard boobs = the only known surefire way to stop someone spreading jam on your neck and licking it off, by confusing them
Also, LOST was just an excuse to put as much randomness and deus ex machina into a script as possible and see if someone, somewhere, would still commission it for a full season.
Tahrey: Grah! If it's able to do that, why doesn't it just save it the right way up in the first place? JPGs can be rotated 90 degrees rapidly and losslessly after all.
Lunacy. But thanks for fixing it, whoever that was.
Bartender: we have basic mead for one septim, or above average mead for three.
>Hopeless_drunk: still have incongruous standards and a two bottle thirst.
You decide to get one of each and try mixing them. Surely this can only go well.
>assess finances
You have one septim, something that looks like it might once have been a coin before a century of dirt and corrosion did a number on it, and a pocket full of bric-a-brac.
>try bartering
It's surprisingly effective! The bartender accepts your offer of one septim for the basic mead, plus an unknown coin, some disembodied eyes, a single cufflink and a decorative button for the above average mead. Whether he's just taking pity on you, knows something you don't about the junk that collected in your filthy pockets - or maybe the Mead - or is simply a magpie-like hoarder, you will never know and don't care to, as you've already uncorked both bottles and tipped them into an oversized stein you keep secreted in a hidden corner of your lengthy beard.
Tahrey: Update: they have made it to the workplace cookie tin, alongside someone's kid's attempt at... Farmyard shapes i guess? Or maybe dinosaurs. I'm sure the one i took was a gingerbread llama...

11 in there, and i tried one myself. Not the most amazing flavour in the world, but perfectly alright. ISO Biscuit, really. Somewhat crunchy though, more biscuit than cookie, guess I should have erred on the shorter side of the cooking time given my oven is often a bit over eager. Didn't burn them at least.
Tahrey: Sal: Makes me think of 90s clipart for some reason.
Now I want to make some Katia CGMs/WMFs and sneak them into a copy of Office on an old PC then sell it on eBay for maximum random-retro-gamer-confusion if they ever load up Word on the machine.

I think the monofilament fruit slicer is the best way to think of the yo-yo trick tho.
And what's the difference between a Giant Pineapple and Giant Fucking Pineapple?

After that, things get a bit hazy.
