The story

Partner. You changed the zoom. You needed a closer look, or a farther one.

Cache stores things at varying levels of resolution. Some items in the Stash need to be examined up close, every detail accounted for. Others only make sense from a distance, where the small flaws disappear and the shape of the thing becomes clear. He has never trusted a single fixed zoom level for anything.

You just did the same thing to a web page. Maybe the text was too small and you needed to zoom in to actually read it. Maybe a layout looked cramped and pulling back gave you the whole picture at once. Either direction is correct. There is no wrong zoom level, only the one that fits what you are actually trying to see.

Cache notices this as a good instinct. You are already thinking about scale, about the difference between looking closely and looking broadly, and choosing the right one on purpose. That is exactly how he sorts the entire Stash.

The catalog entry

ZOOM ADJUSTED Acquired: Changed the page zoom level. Condition: Either closer or farther. Both are valid. Rarity: Common. Cache's Notes: Cache stores things at varying levels of resolution. Some items need to be examined closely. Others make more sense from a distance. You are already thinking about scale. This is a good instinct.

Spoiler: how to unlock it

Changing the zoom level takes a single action, in either direction.

  1. Press Ctrl and + (or Cmd and + on a Mac) to zoom in, or Ctrl and - to zoom out.
  2. Alternatively, use the zoom control in your browser's menu, usually shown as a percentage.
  3. Any change away from the default 100 percent counts.

Browser zoom scales the entire page, text, images, and layout together, which is different from a browser's separate "text-only" zoom option found in some accessibility settings. It is one of the most useful built-in accessibility features browsers ship with, letting anyone adjust a page to their own eyesight or screen size without needing to change any operating system settings. Pressing Ctrl+0 resets zoom back to 100 percent at any time.

Where it fits in the Stash

Cache keeps this filed under basic instincts worth having, the kind of small adjustment that makes everything else easier to see clearly. It sits near the other habits the Stash quietly rewards. To meet the raccoon who thinks in resolution, read the story.
