Never heard of this before. I'm going to reblog this for reference just in case.

WARNING ABOUT A REALLY NASTY NEW VIRUS.

Meet CryptoLocker. It’s your worst nightmare. A lot of antivirus software, including the big names, cannot yet detect or stop it. If your computer gets it, CryptoLocker takes all your files hostage by encrypting them and giving you a certain amount of time to send a certain amount of money to the man behind the virus.

The encryption is very tidy, and so far seems uncrackable (well, crackable, but it might take a couple centuries). If you tamper with the virus itself, it will pretty much self-destruct and take everything with it. And the way the money is transferred, the dick programmer behind it all for the moment is pretty much uncatchable.

YOU CANNOT GET RID OF THIS VIRUS WITHOUT COMPLETELY WIPING YOUR COMPUTER. YOUR ONLY CHANCE IS PREVENTION AND PREPARATION.

Back up your computer to something like an external hard-drive, or even an internal hard-drive that you just take out and stuff away somewhere for safe keeping. Make sure your antivirus is up to date, avoid skeevy sites, and don’t open random emails. DO NOT download email attachments unless you know exactly what it is, because that seems to be how this is primarily being transmitted.

You can learn more about it here.

Hello. Is it possible for you to create a master post of all Solas related audio dialogue you've uploaded? They are so relaxing (painful) to work to. Ma serannas.

me: I haven’t uploaded that much Solas audio, have I? me: *looks back at all the audio files I’ve uploaded*me: …holy crap

 I’m just a big fan of voice acting, lmao… Gareth David Lloyd is a sweet prince

solas talking calmly for 10 minutes (I’ve been meaning to make “solas yelling for 10 minutes” one too, because this kind of thing is great for fanfic reference, but I also have more than enough to make several more of him just calmly talking (and it’s soothing and easy to make them so I probably will when I need some stress-free task to do))

everything Solas says in elvish (except for one line he says to Mihris that I forgot, whoops)

(spoilers) every single possible line that Solas says in Trespasser 

(spoilers) the Negative Responses that Solas will say when he hates the Inquisitor in Trespasser

Solas dialogue that isn’t in the final game, that I only found by rummaging around in the files, so you can only really hear it here:

A missing/removed dialogue option for the last romance scene at Crestwood (warning: this is effing sad, and I couldn’t believe my ears when I found it)

Solas talking to Morrigan about Mythal!

A cute little line missing from the ball at Halamshiral

Solas calling f!Lavellan “lethallan”

the Inquisitor asks Solas what he knows about the Temple of Mythal (no audio)

more missing dialogue from the Temple of Mythal, featuring Morrigan and Abelas (not Solas dialogue, but interesting) - (1) (2)

Hi Beast! Do you know any good websites for story/plot charting?

I had to do some research for this question! Look at you guys, making me dig through the bowels of the earth.

Hiveword - Requires you to create an account, but it’s free; allows you to make lists for your characters and their descriptions, list out your plot/story flow, has a built-in name generator and more

Read-Write-Think - Though this one seems to be geared toward younger kids, don’t be fooled - it has different charts that allow you to type out your plot, characters, setting, and resolution via visual maps; the only drawback is that it’s somewhat too simplistic, and doesn’t account for overly complex plots but it’s good for mapping out all the base information needed to plan your story

Scrapple - An app for PCs and Macs that is basically a combination between a mind map and a basic text-editing software, but geared specifically toward writers (if you don’t know what a mind map is, here’s a helpful article); the downside is that it’s $15, but there’s a free trial version available on the linked site

LitLift - Free site (with account registration) that allows you to organize your stories, characters, and plots (similar to Scrapple); also has sharing capabilities so that you can share your story within the site - you can also browse other peoples’ stories if they’ve been shared

Scrivener - Another app for PCs and Macs; like a more advanced version of Microsoft Word, except that it gives you an outliner to list out your ideas/plots/etc, ‘index cards’ to keep your ideas organized, ‘scrivenings’ - which basically function as tabs to switch between manuscripts, and a lot more; downside is that it’s $45, but once again there’s a free trial available on the linked site

Storyplanner - Site that has lists of resources where you can select from novel/short story, screenplay, or nonfiction and it asks you further questions in detail about your story; great for getting all your ideas out in one go (I look at it as sort of a ‘quizilla’ for your story, except it’s not full on Mary Sues and sadness); the site is free to use, but there is a premium edition, though you don’t really need it (you can just copy your answers to your nearest document)

Hemingway - Though this one is more useful for editing rather than planning, this in-browser site that allows you to either write right in the browser or copy/paste text into the window; points out any writing errors, repeated syntax, long-ass sentences, and all kinds of other helpful editing advice; there’s also a desktop version available for download

If anyone finds anything else that’s helpful, feel free to add it!

I don't really know what I was expecting tbh.

The mashup you never thought would work
