God I'm blind. Been working too much.



Yay! I'll read it up and see if I can be of help again. I used the hell out of Blowfish encryptions back in the day :D

Hello guys, been out of the loop for a while. I noticed that on the @MagogCartel in the tweets starting here (https://twitter.com/MagogCartel/status/895978845777670145), the caps form the sentence...

Dang it! My cpu heat sink failed in the most glorious way at the worst possible time, lost all the cool stuff from the video up until now :(

That's just a larger Lorem Ipsum, and the reference to the pages are just references/credits. Unless I haven't seen differences between that and the following:

But I doubt it.

Hello and welcome :)


The name is part of a randomised img.ur name algo, and has nothing to do with the ARG.

Think it's just maintenance, that's quite similar to http://www.1029.io/whatifwetoldyoutoo/8291/, with the numbers removed since it's public and no longer a secret. The rest has also been purged from...

I took the screenshots from youtube myself, but yeah, not having a single freakin' method to get the best quality out of youtube pissed me off more than I care to admit.

That was a web scan though, different beast and has nothing to do with what I meant, not that it would be of much use in this. It was just to note the differential in calculus power of the upgrade....

Given that PS is hardware accelerated and that a lot of the stuff I did in ARGs recently is photo manipulation, yes. Interestingly it will.

Yesterday I would have told you that's a lie, but currently I'm waiting for a Strix 1080ti to be delivered to my doorstep, so maybe there's a bit of truth in those words.

Np Xav :)

I'll be honest, I haven't checked them for a while. But I'm kind of buggered by the <i>NOTEs</i>. Do we have music-sheet transposable data we didn't use yet? :P

What I noticed is that the second part when reversing dot/dash makes some bit of sense. For example, OTT reversed in morse is SEE. At this point I'll go out on a limb and declare that part a "DO YOU...

Still can't figure any of it out. But while watching the morse frame in its context I started wondering, "what if the Q are not supposed to be there?". If you split the morse at the double dash, most...

I honestly don't know. A few glyphs read in order with blind language, just like Gunnr found out, read much like "RGBA", which might be a hint for something to come. I need to dig into the pigpen...

Can't seem to make head or tail of any of it. We either need someone way better than me, more information, or both. I tend to think it's both.

Tried to enhance/correct the morse code. I'm still not to sure if some of the things we considered dots before were in reality just added artifacts.
