        “My briefcase,” Rick said as he rummaged for the Voigt-Kampff forms. “Nice, isn’t it? Department issue.”

        “Well, well,” Rachael said remotely.

        “Babyhide,” Rick said. He stroked the black leather surface of the briefcase. “One hundred percent genuine human babyhide.” He saw the two dial indicators gyrate frantically. But only after a pause. The reaction had come, but too late. He knew the reaction period down to a fraction of a second, the correct reaction period; there should have been none. “Thanks, Miss Rosen,” he said, and gathered together the equipment again; he had concluded his retesting. “Thats all.”

        “You’re leaving?” Rachael asked.

        “Yes.” he said. “I’m satisfied.”

        Cautiously, Rachael said, “What about the other nine subjects?”

        “The scale has been adequate in your case,” he answered. “I can extrapolate from that, it’s clearly still effective.”

        To Eldon Rosen, who slumped morosely by the door of the room, he said, “Does she know?” Sometimes they didn’t; false memories had been tried various times, generally in the mistaken idea that through them reactions to testing would be altered. Eldon Rosen said, “No. We programmed her completely. But I think toward the end she suspected.” To the girl he said, “You guessed when he asked for one more try.” Pale, Rachael nodded fixedly, “Don’t be afraid of him,” Eldon Rosen told her. "You’re not an escaped android on Earth illegally, you’re the property of the Rosen Association, used as a sales device for prospective emigrants. He walked to the girl, put put his hand comfortingly on her shoulder, at touch the girl flinched.

    How do people go about making really long images like this? And also, what screen resolution are they aimed at?

    Any time I find images like this I end up having to zoom in & pan about to read whatever text’s included. It’s not much trouble, but when I come across them I’m often a little perplexed by the formatting.

      Modern phones let you scroll after taking a screenshot

      At least I know IOS does, and I’ve done it on android before

        Thanks, I should have clarified that I’m asking from a desktop perspective.

        There are more options on that front, but I think the browser screenshot tool may kinda work for a full page shot then I guess you might crop it? But those have still seemed kinda rough to me so made me wonder.

      They splice together multiple mobile screenshots. There might be an app that lets you press a button, scroll, then press stop, to do the same thing.

      But it’s definitely designed for mobile. This reads really easily on my phone.

        This reads really easily on my phone.

        Through one of the apps, presumably? I typically use browser on mobile & so have the same zoom/pan experience described above.

          Sync automatically zooms it in to full width. Really nice for screenshots like this or web comics.

      Screen Master is a great app on Android that can do this (has automatic stitching which works really good too!). There’s probably an iOS version. I forget if I paid for it or not but it’s been great.
