"What... is Twitter."

Permalink

"Uh, does your world have social media?"

Permalink

"...not under that name?"

Permalink

"The internet? Forums or blogs?"

Permalink

"We have the internet and forums and blogs."

Permalink

"Twitter is a microblogging platform - probably that's not actually a good description, I can just show you."

Here is a phone with Twitter.

Permalink

"These are all different people's micro blogs? Next to each other?"

Permalink

"Yeah, here's Lia's."

She has millions of followers, whatever those are. 

Permalink

"Followers is... readers? Subscribers?"

Permalink

"Yeah."

He can show her who he follows - the aforementioned people with good esper logistics and dungeon harvesting takes. He's followed back by a few of them, and a hundred or so Lia fans.

Permalink

Well, what are the good takes?

Permalink

Esper logistics is hard! People can improve this via adding emergency lanes which is worth it in certain specific cases but often worse than just adding more regular lanes to streets or not doing that at all.

You can harvest stainless steel from several different dungeons in huge quantities and that is amazing! People overfocus on that one gold dungeon and instead should pay attention to the frequency other more useful metals show up.

The entire situation with Venezuelan dungeon privatization is actually really complicated and fascinating and Lucien has booked marked almost every tweet in a thread about it.

People should actually record lots of data with dungeons and if they aren't going to this amateur reporter is going to show up and do it himself.

This is really interesting and she might wind up reading Twitter for a while.

Permalink

Yeah, that's how they get you.

Permalink

It's a novel form of getting! Normally she'd just get her bot to digest it for her and present her with the interesting bits at a convenient moment but it's not here.

Permalink

"You should post your own pictures! I can retweet you so people know you're where I got them."

Permalink

"Okay..." How does she make a Twitter account.

Permalink

She will need a name and profile image -and - have they set her up with an email yet?

Permalink

Then they can do that first.

Permalink

Is "lorica" taken? Presumably there's no protectorate.gov but she's accustomed to the "lorica" part.

Permalink

It is not taken!

Permalink

Lorica she shall be.

Permalink

Same for her twitter? She might need to add something to make the username itself unique.

Permalink

If "lorica" is taken on Twitter she can go with... uh... lorica_hamata, seems loosely appropriate to the new power.
