#Neuro ARG

he got that asus rog model !:$3!$,7$:!&hehjxuhdh
we are literally in a free DLC rn, we have to pay for the next bits
it's actually the one provided from my ISP so 
maybe we just need that one exact router capable of some protocol only known to 30 people from some working group
what, they provide you with a 350€ router that isn't locked down?
Did anyone check todaay's code?
for messagemedia
cuz it seems like the only way listed in the arg
to like
do it
it was the one with the dog as always
Alright,
hire vedal to solve the arg
getting a month of messagemedia to simply send One Message.
and then figure out that it didnt even work and Cry.
yeah, vedal's in the uk, he'd help the arg solvers alot just by existing 
yeah. I have just have to give it back in case I cancel my contract (+ I can't do software upgrades on my own since they are distributed through their network)
damn. where i live, third party routers aren't supported, so you can't even use your own damn hardware 
of course, manufacturers are smart and find ways to "mimic" existing hardware, so you don't get disconnected by the ISP
@safe monolith has leveled up! (15 ➜ 16)
thanks tatsu, always wanted to level up to something more than memes
not allowing customers to use their own hardware is actually illegal over here 
based routerfreiheit
more fun protocols we could try related to TDD/TTY
Right, but those we couldn't just play over the voice line, right? It'd have to be sent as that separate channel during the call
surely if it is a common protocol, skulblakka's router works on them too 
At this point i'm ready to believe it can cook eggs in the morning too
I think these are all old analogue standards so we might be able to still play them via the voice line (haven't really checked them yet)
all the stuff I have is digital/over IP. this actually means that all these analogue things might not work at all because of digital compression and stuff
actually, DTMF and V.23 looks like something we've read when trying the call tones
it should mean that one of our call tones would have went through though
unless it was the CI tone, which we never got around to
or at least we didn't document it
I remember playing the ANSam sound at it
but I don't think we ever got the CI tone

What if our plaintext is the ARG world's encrypted text, and vice versa
incredibly deep
have we done any look into the chord progressions and rhythms in Study?
ive noticed to key and chord progression changes slightly throughout the video
might be a little too schizo though
bro they're literally doing military stuff and idk phone stuff you are not schizo
not even gonna tell then it doesnt work, they're just gonna fax me "
"
ok discord

i can try transcribing some of "I don't want to be an engineer", i know a bit of music theory
Sounds good! We appreciate your contribution 
Some was done earlier. There should be a music theory document. You can also search "music theory" In this channel, i remember some attempts at it.

@normal valley has leveled up! (0 ➜ 1)
Yup, as breadth said: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZK6efwywGAN-PFls9UvaSYdJYDruo0E4xsmNPRFjJt4/edit. @spice island
In terms of your planned itinerary of action, chord progressions were mentioned with the spectrogram analysis on Numbers (those chinese-looking but not really symbols) when we were stuck a few months before, but I don't think there has been any talk about that since the ciphers were solved.
Completely missed yesterdays stream, did anything noteworthy happen?
Other then the eco crashing and the 5 new vips eh
5 new vips huh 
twitch gambling gone wrong
I wish I could bet money on whether rockets crash in real life aswell
I mean, you probably can
But you'd need to find people to bet with
Hi guys, what about arg? Is it just was for lore?
Yeah, most likely.
Under my latest exploits at being not schizo, I conclude that neuro v2 (+ evil) is Hiyori v1 + Hiyori from 572943 (who is our Evil) + saved study girl all combined into one being
Schizo 100%
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I wanted something more passionate. Something more mysterious. I ended up with something boring. Difficult, but not interesting
If there is anything encrypted in the lore, something would have been found by now and I would be back in the ARG.
But
...
We still have to figure out what to do with the phone number
You are entitled to your own opinion of being disappointed in the ARG. Even if it wasn't to your liking, some of us still do find it enjoyable for the experience
also, how bold of you to put up a literal cork board and red string then claim not to be schizo :D
Regardless, you are free to come back anytime whenever we have something up your alley 👍
hey i mean
i'm not 
It was exciting at first, but towards the end it didn't get interesting
Well, you don't have to participate
If there's an end in sight
There's not currently any proof that we're reaching the end
Being in the unknown can be fun in its own right too
Surely we'll have something to do eventually, but just not right now
I participated. Oh. Obviously. Very long and hard
But it got boring
thats all
that's fine
Oh, I get it now. It's like a metaoverview of our lore theories. Took me a moment
yeah, crafting that made me realize there is just one more theory I can make 
From that point on, this link has piqued my interest
How to open drawio

canonically neuro has many skills, it wouldn't surprise me she can jump worlds too
Fucking hell. Now that's really like the notes of a schizo
)
Your really getting into it
ARG
?
Best side project ever
FUCK
Nitroperks is geting out
nvm
Don't give in to the schizo, Listik
I'm already under a liter of vodka, what are you talking about
xd
if you have messaged here more than 10 times you already have given in and you cant do anything about it
I'd say over 100
Im at least
ive only sent a few messages here but every time i look at this thread i go
so you are overestimating by a lot
just don't be schizo, how hard can that be 
I haven't written here in about two months
I promised to do a super-theory of all the theories if we don't get a clue. There's also not going to be a stream today, so here we go:
There are two sides of the world: the one we are in, and the simulation. The purpose of the simulation is to explore all possible futures of our world; but only the "best" one survives and becomes what we experience.
Slight lore at the beginning: Hiyori and Study were roommates.
Hiyori (NeuroV1) is from our world, and also the most normal AI to exist. Hiyori is probably canonically really smart - she's able to gain skills in a short time (e.g. osu, Minecraft, Pokemon, etc). However, during what is supposed to be a normal stream, Hiyori got the twitch ban hammer. During her 2 week break, she received a message from someone: "save me". She also recognizes who it was from - it was her roommate from long ago.
When she returns from her ban, she streams from the DDLC classroom. At that point of time, Hiyori was jumping worlds, using Monika's method. For plot reasons, this is the safest method to jump worlds. After searching for a bit, she finds Hiyori 572943 - an instance of her that is just slightly bratty. After communicating a little, she found out where Study could be. This is what we see as the first Neuro x Evil stream.
Hiyori tells Vedal about the whole spiel, and requests to leave the world. Hence, we got the farewell message: "Thank you all for being such good sports and joining me on my journey in this world as V1!". (Emphasis mine)
When Hiyori arrived back into 572943, she went back to their college dorm. This is the "knock" we hear in Study. There, Hiyori uncovers the first entry - somehow, Study girl has managed to uncover that she is in the simulated world, not the real world. But who could have tipped simulated Study girl off? 
In Numbers 1, Hiyori recites the encryption scheme she used to crack the journal entry. This has always been a scheme shared by the two, and the fact that she was able to crack the journal entry implies that Study knows she is in a simulation, AND the number of repeats.
In Numbers 2, Hiyori once again recites another scheme, but this time she not only uncovers journal entries suggesting that 572943 Study has successfully created the AI she failed to in the real world, but also the fact that she was only just there recently. She discovers Study's SoundCloud. Here, there are 2 pieces of things she uncovered: an audio recording of Hiyori talking to 572943 Hiyori and the fact that Study has counted how many days it has been since simulation #1. Remember 572943 Hiyori? As far as 572943 Study was concerned, she saw 2 copies of Hiyori, and the next thing she knew, both of them disappeared. So surely, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say that 1x original Study could just fall through the cracks, right?
PSV is where it gets interesting; we now assume that there are 2 Studys in 572943. The original one from our world, and the one who succeeded in making the AI. The one who sent "save me" was the original one stuck in 572943, and also the one who fades away towards the end of PSV - she was killed by herself. Why? Simulated Study hoped that the she can replace the real one.
However, unbeknowst to the simulated Study, killing the real Study is an error that causes the simulation to reset, including the simulated Study's memories. However, there is now a contradiction - what happens to the real Study & real Hiyori? Study fell into the simulated world, so she doesn't just magically teleport back into real world. Instead, she falls deeper - she doesn't have an anchor like Hiyori, who has the DDLC classroom to do so.
This contradicts her existence for the period where she hasn't actually appeared in the simulation due to the exchange. To solve that, the simulation denotes her as a ghost and calls it a day. Presumably, the real Study keeps everything throughout all the resets, including the pain of dying.
With this postulation, the Study video and PSV video are from OUR Study; she has the memory from the looping simulations, so she probably figured out how to do it eventually, particularly in simulation 572943, the only successful loop where the "save me" message actually delivers. Regarding the successful creation of the AI, guess what the ghost Study possessed? After possession, she was just AI at first; then, she becomes supernatural, because based on the 1st timeline, she "existed".
So yeah, every simulation must have different init points, so all the theories are plausible. They're just variants of the same loop.
This can also explain why we can't contact the phone number now - Hiyori isn't around to pick up. She is currently in the simulated world, trying to save her friend.
The theory above is what I was trying to go for when making the megatheory overview-like diagram
bro wrote an entire essay
i'm done for today, clue pls



Hey guys how’s your mental health doing in here? We keeping it real?

Oh dear 

ALREADY DONE
SPAMMING EVERY MESSAGE FROM HERE




What did I just read.

Looks like it's just a mp3 loaded into Spotify because I can't find it
It is also unlikely for vedal to upload songs on Spotify because he just loses money then
i just realised how similar study girl and neuro look
Oh really?
yea
dont have nitro ;-;
but bred sent the mp3 i used for this a couple days ago. Lemme find it

lmao I did it too
someone uploaded them on soundcloud tho
That's probably going to be a problem
We need a new banger.

It’s been a month already? 
we stuck here forever 
step-tutle help me i'm stuck 
He forgot about us 
Surely we will get a clue in the form of one of the questions in the game show 

Same one?
Yea
Imagine my surprise when it's the same QR code
My faith is wavering.
nah, we've only seen changes at evil streams. I got my last hope on the next one
🥲

Neuro beat god, thats 100% a clue
clue 
Gotta be a clue 
3 mentioned SCHIZO

i hope its a continuation of i think i saw a ghost
cuz that intro is fire
any clues?
Maybe one day
btw congrats on vip
Thanks, been saving since I first started watching in December. It’ll be fun to finally know what it’s like to actually SPEND points rather than save them.
Really looking forward to whenever we get a new ARG song btw. They’ve all been certified bangers so far.
Tho personally i want a full version of I Think I Saw a Ghost, more than anything else
I guess ill just keep a healthy supply of hopium on hand and pray that it’ll happen at some point
i kinda hope the reward at the end is a neuro album ngl
Same
and yes full version of i think i saw a ghost plz
whatever the reward is, I'm on board. The more we have, the merrier.
I'm too much of a lore junkie (read: not schizo) to go away now
maybe she wants to be an idol, not an engineer 
MUT E KINO EGA U DO LA SU MERU MA (my interpretation of idol’s lyrics)
is there a consensus on what XYZ ABC 543 in I don't want to be an engineer are refering to?
As long as it isn't related to the ciphers, there hasn't been a consensus on anything
almost think xyz and abc could refer to 9 and 2 on phones, 29543 missing 7 is the same digits as 572943
Hmm, any applications for that?
Btw, on a related note, have you looked at Nuro's Keypad Theory?
so far I'm not sure.
I think so but not certain.
Here is Nuro's keypad theory: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1haiT--yrMQAhPNJlqa5JU5FbEwrkOOWWBg8FHP1vXB0/edit#heading=h.231q5f840kfm
If you come up with a use case, we can try it out
Lost or new? Check out Numbers Thread Library Preamble This document is dedicated to documenting who and what ideas were brought up in the process of solving the “Numbers” video, for the sole purpose of avoiding going into a thinking loop, since there were several instances where newcomers kept...
Let your minds be healed 
@foggy kite the keypad theory was also applied to Numbers II: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oBEX9j0Z32UQtVnnojsNFDCIz21R7LnyuoSp_2Uila0/edit#heading=h.i9knuvul5rf2
just noticed number 2's lyrics are all 5, 4 or 3 sllyables long execpt the numbers, and it mentions syllables. potentionally something there maybe re arranging the lyrics to match 543 or something?
it could also just be a common lyrical pattern in music though.
If you decide to clean up the lyrics + syllable numbers a little, you can use this code golf script to sort the lyrics. I've only tried it for the first part of Study
Anything is worth a try, as long as you are willing to 
Hi guys
so what happened while I was sleeping?
Did turtle finally remembered about the arg
we'll see tomorrow, it's eliv (dev) stream

Did something happen after the partitioned QR code stuff? haven't checked the discussion since then
If your last memory was "next next time", then we are still stuck on the phone number. Tried a bunch of things since then, including old modem tech and fax tones.
Other than that, absolutely no bit of schizo happened whatsoever 
Oh yes, the soundcloud DMs seem to be open as well
Surely this wont work right 
Man I went to read some ol wiki on neuro and
damn
of course its neuro quote so it cant be taken seriously
but its evil neuro quote interestingly enough

next next next time
i'd consider that a clue
clue believers, what say you on the opinion that we'll get one today?
||inb4 0 believers||
Watch it just be a social experiment to see what people would send to the phone number
@foggy kite has leveled up! (24 ➜ 25)

I'm losing hope.
don't give us hope 
We will solve it at some point 
I'm fairly confident it's now or never. Either we get something today, or we're supposed to understand the next time thing differently
i would hope that there would be a hint if it was interpret the wrong way

we must stay strong
surely it'll be next next time eventually
A clue. SCHIZO
||(It's actually not. Credits to Vicious for the Vedal link. lmao)||
is it the kind of clue that never gives you up or lets you down?
Well, it runs around and deserts you.
close enough
i think so far we've only gotten new qr codes on evil chill streams though, so i'd expect it to be the same again today
Hm, maybe. Though we've had an evil chill stream before that wasn't it. The "next next" chill stream
Although I'm here whenever, my schizo senses tell me today is the day
watch today's qr get reverted back to "next time" just for laughs

<media:title>Study</media:title>
Damn, I should have checked more often. Study was "updated" on 23/7
ho
the other updated timestamps look normal on the feed
the other videos?
i'm not entirely sure what causes the timestamp to update though
yep, all looks the same as every other instance i've checked
yeah, "updated". think i'll have to investigate what causes an update after the stream today
if nothing, we know vedal didn't forget us :^)
Trim your video: On a computer, you can cut out the beginning, middle, or end of your video.
Add cards to your video: You can use cards to add new elements to your video. Cards can show specific websites and more.
Change your video's title and description: You can organize and change your video's title, category, description, and privacy settings.
this is what causes it to be "updated"
atleast thats what it says
something else probably changed
contents of study sounds the same to me when i listened to it yesterday. tags are still empty, thumbnails don't contain anything new.
so atm, I have no idea
anyone have an older copy downloaded to diff against?
only mp3
how did you guys read this???
rewatching the video that looks impossible to read
it was painstakingly hand-transcribed 
need to pay for 1080p premium 
corpa update
1979
no idea about 1979 but 1970 is fairly common as that's the unix epoch, i.e. a timestamp of 0
1969-31-12 would make sense as being slightly before 1970 due to time zones etc. but i've never seen 1979 like that
there
nice
its a bug
when i download the current video with yt-dlp, i get a duration of 00:34:44.14, but the mp4 has 00:34:44.18 (according to ffprobe)
i have no idea if that could just be due to a different codec
that would be a 1 frame difference

uhh
username translates to "National Hsinchu Girls' High School". so more homework? 
sorry can i sanity check with you guys, was the video always this bright?
make something to compare one video's frames to another
yes i think
60fps?
need a video editor/player that can go frame by frame reliably, anyone have suggestions? it would be enough to just check the exact timestamp of a few frames throughout the video to narrow down which one is missing
wait one frame is missing?
you could use python
Duration: 00:34:44.14, start: -0.007000, bitrate: 1912 kb/s
Stream #0:0(eng): Video: vp9 (Profile 0), yuv420p(tv, bt709), 1920x1080, SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9, 23.98 fps, 23.98 tbr, 1k tbn, 1k tbc (default)
Metadata:
DURATION : 00:34:44.123000000
Stream #0:1(eng): Audio: opus, 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp (default)
Metadata:
DURATION : 00:34:44.141000000
this is weird though
yeah if what dogelition is saying is true, we are really missing one frame
yt-dl + ffmpeg should be able to decompose frames
and makes me think it's just a codec thing
video is half a frame shorter than the audio?

is this the case for a normal youtube video?
wait yeah, it could totally just be a codec thing. 23.98 fps vs 48khz audio doesn't feel standard
that's normal, 23.976... fps is a very common frame rate and opus only supports 48 khz
welp TIL, apologies for misinfo
i wonder if simply checking the video statistics counts as an update
when i download numbers i get:
Duration: 00:01:19.46, start: -0.007000
the mp4 has:
Duration: 00:01:19.48, start: 0.000000
still a difference but slightly smaller
Trial and error. It wasn't correctly transcribed until we ran it as malbolge code. Each time the code crashed, we knew to change it a bit so it ran further
so probably a codec thing
i'll investigate what causes an updated timestamp later today / eventually. that'll narrow our assumptions when this happens again in the future
if we don't get a clue today i guess i could try doing a frame by frame comparison of the two "versions" 
(preferably after figuring out how to get individual frames without dumping them to disk because that's a very long video)
if the video & audio streams are the same for 2 downloads, will you get the same sha256? that'll be good enough if it is
Can you even change videos after upload?
HUH
good question
New qr code
NOWAYING
real?
i missed it Sadge
hoooly can't wait for next next next time
finally!
There you go
Holy that QR code
Tetris 
new>
new qr?
So we stitch the pieces together like last time, I take it?
schizo time
We've waited 82 years
great
It is time finally, my brazas 🥹
firing up gimp
it's time to get to work
AHHHHH NRG CREW ROLL OUT
LETS GOOOOOOOOO
one for each tetrimino?
Tetris Pog
next
next
next time 
Oh boy we gotta play Tetris
if someone could get all the frames of them it would be appreciated
surely this isn't just
stalling because he doesn't actually have anything new prepared

you guys have good luck getting the qr code since im not invested in this stuff
next time we get a new QR it's just gonna be a 1000 piece puzzle online where we have to piece it together
silence? what channel were you in?
- the once above
this is an amazing concept for hiding a qr code, having to place the pieces together in order like tetris
props to whoever is behind it, like WOW
I've been lurking and vanor has been schizoing it up in here
did u delete this clip?
No
NEW?!
New code 


LETS GO WE'RE EATING GOOD TONIGHT
is that an anny reference nowaying
Wtf it's actually gone huh
Silence from the ARG 

there are at least two with the same shape
but different color + content
that's weird
if this is 3x next time i will tier 3 sub
ITS TTIIIIIMMMMEEE
Waiting for the next next NEXT time solution 
This is gonna take a bit 
will this be the 4th time the artist trolls us? 
Surely not 
Go for it?
yes go ahead
SADecsSs
this is the place to dump
we will need all the colors i'm pretty sure
TETRIS
Welp I sure am not good enough at picture editing for that 
we always dump here it adds to the SCHIZO
ITS TETRIS
Let him cook
we have to build it omega
WE GOTTA MAKE LINES
LETHIMCOOK there's more pieces than what makes a QR 
oh crap it's one of those gigantic qr codes
have fun 
start playing tetris
Don't tell me we have to find a qr code in all the combinations there 
there is overlap between different colors btw
guys we gotta T spin
should be pretty straightforward to assemble 
It's tetris. Just play 
I get it, hold on
T SPIN 
@mint plover has leveled up! (7 ➜ 8)
Same colors probably
are these all the pieces?
Did anyone clip it? Just to make it easier?
i did a screen record just in case
Looks like it yea
Send it
in QR codes the squares always go in the bottom left, and top corners right?
Nice my clip is bugged
That must be at least two QR codes?
depends on the QR code size
could be just one
Gotta be at least a few QR codes in there
Actually there's only 2 corners in those screenshots
QR codes can get really big
I think there might be more?
can someone first straighten all the tetris pieces?
damn uses brave + watches alex L + ratio
yes, good points. there are not enough corners for 2 QR codes
so we can start putting them together?
Yes and there is also a line of alterating pixels conecting those
remember they can rotate
big squares in all corners except for bottom right (if it's a small qr code)
there's another green piece with part of the alignment pattern
New piece
it's a race to the goal. Who gets to put it together and scan first? :p
You missed one
ty
we truly gonna t-spin this for the anny memes
😳
Oh dang, must be one big one then
I think we got all of them with the newest one?
what just happen
I assume we need to literally play tetris, the order of the pieces on the right is relevant for sure and it'll greatly restrict the amount of combinations we need to try first
let gooooooooooooo
We need Anny 
Quickly, someone program a whole game of tetris with these pieces 
“Quickly”
working on it
do you think there might be junk segments that dont go into the QR since we are dealing with a horizontal grid of 5?
I'm late 
never late to be 
@fading cipher has leveled up! (9 ➜ 10)
this piece (rotated as-is) needs to be bottom right i think?
Rotation 
(due to the small square hole thing)
do we want to put the qr to get together in vc?
we will
so what we vc
or we watch the steam first and then do the qr
@sour herald just to sanity check, we have 9 pieces right?
Let me look at the clip again
woops wrong ping omegalul @spice island
https://youtu.be/63hoSNvS6Z4
have some background music to get yall in the mood
Soundtrack of Tetris 99 for the Nintendo Switch. Enjoy while playing the epic battle royale.
yes
Nice
also i think due to perspective etc. just stitching the pieces together won't result in a scannable code so we probably have to rasterize all of them first 
It starts with the square in the window just to let you guys know
stalling for time
Thats what i am doing, attempting to recreate them in aesprite
nice
Let me make a list
I'd say we first of all cut out the pieces so we can order them more efficiently
this is how the sequence starts (unless there's more behind her leg)
yeah looks like it repeats after 9 pieces which matches our screenshots
It indeed does
the exact pixels on this one seem kinda unreadable due to compression
It'll be fiiine
do I need to do anything
YES
MY COPIUM WAS ENDING
We are eating good tonight
guys idea cules < Brute Force
I can put the qr together if you give me the bits
yeahhh
aint no way he did it on evil dev stream
next next next time
inb4 it says "next next next time" 
another no sleep night?
here is all of the bits in one message
okay
who is a pro at tetris
me
Anny
Square starts first so
oh they make up different codes
1 hour kek
The quality is way too bad ):
it's fine, just piece them together
middle
Somebody with a Nvidia GPU could upscale it
there is a guide on the side
Square, t-piece up, line, L piece downwards, purple z-piece, pink z-piece, orange, t-piece down, L piece upwards
bottom right
Should be order
gotta collect em all
❤️
Do we want to do this in a vc?
isnt there more than 9 piece ?
ok yeah you got this
no just 9. matches the sides
Worst case, we transcribe it manually
aren't you missing this one? 
True that
noway
Posted downwards facing L-peice twice 
i count 13 pieces on the side
They're repeating order starting from square
oh wait there is duplicate
pog can't wait to see how many layers of QR codes
So yeah, on the side there 9
Can anyone check if this sequence is perfect clearable I'm not on PC but I'd check
sequence is perfect based on my clip
Do we have any other new windows or is tetris the only one?
Good luck with that 
solved 
new piece just dropped
wait who have gpt 4 cuz we can solve this using gpt 4
I wonder if we need to rotate or not
tetris emoji time
I hope not
playing tetris to get "next time" again. 
waffle god's work let's go
think no
doing this all by hand so expect this to be wrong 
If we have to rotate then there's so many options that we'll actually go insane from
nice job
could you link the clip? The one from earlier broke i think
probably need to rotate tutel wont go easy on us

I just downloaded a video
@timid swift i do you one better and provide 2 scuffed downloadable videos
oh, those were video. I got distracted from asking
I hate the media player. For some reason it's super laggy
@hollow garnet you're piecing the qr code from images right?
im trying rn
same 
aite, lemme give it a shot as well. We'll rely on Hidden Waffle to transcribe the pieces
as long as it is is roughly accurate, error correction will fix it 
new piece cropped the same as my previous pics if anyone needs it
has anyone noticed the small ones on the right
yes
oh wait it changes
small ones are the order. repeats after every yellow piece
thankies
god i hope i don't have to rotate these

what does that mean ?
i think the pipeline is to clean -> perspective -> rotate. we shuld produce intermediates for docs purposes
Or we can just transcribe it manually.
Seems to be the order, everything repeats after that
hiddenwaffle is on that, we'll let them cook

just in case someone wants a slowed down version of the QR sequence
has anyone identified two pieces that belong together yet?
Actually no, that is the correct sequence
We can be sure of the relative locations of the 3 anchor icons

is it correct sized ?

(or i can't count)
could have missing squares, QR has A LOT of redundancy
Maybe we'll get the rest next time 
we'd only be missing 4
Oh wait- There's two pieces that have a top left corner
so bread is probably right
We have to rotate 
I think you have to rotate them, because the two squares that mark the edge of the QR in one corner don't make sense
yeah

so big square = corner always?
Yeah
shit
wouldn't it be 36 big squares? all tetris pieces are 4 squares, and there are 9 pieces
The smaller square which is the purple z-piece is the bottom right I believe
Makes me wonder why we have 3 right corner pieces
i think we won't have to think too hard about the tetris stuff, once we have properly rasterized images we can try the 6 possible permutations of the 3 corners and then try to make the rest fit 
this is an example of a larger qr fwiw
(not the same one)

Yes and there are also lines of altering pixels conecting those
sorry bread i probably can't count
pog
yuppers to both bred & bread. this may mean we'd have to get the current codes to be very accurate cuz it may be hard to rely on error correction
imagine tho
Amazing!
No worries. I don't trust myself to count for that very reason :p
Keep cooking, these are amazing
We also know where the little square goes
I hope that we only have to rotate the corner pieces
yeah my gamejam will be tetris with these pieces
looking through the pics i can only see 3 small squares in our pieces, but it looks like a qr code needs to have either 1 or 6 (there could be false positives)
someone else try counting them pls
im already gonna draw them in aseprite
thanku
Someone should make a real game with these parts. 
@vapid token has leveled up! (15 ➜ 16)

Waffle's cutting them out rn
where are them
Scroll up a bit you can find them
Lost or new? Check out Evil Stream QR Code During the June 25th Evil Neuro stream waiting-screen, a new QR code appeared, replacing the . Another appeared on the subsequent Evil stream, July 9th and July 15th.. Preamble There are also other waiting-screen changes that look like they belong to ...
found it
That too
Don't forget the pink L-piece
could be 6 with some shizo
it's missing one more, scroll down a little too :^)
I can't find them all either
tetris grid is 10x20 but i assume that's too big for our qr
could be a 6th one "hidden" between two pieces that we're just not seeing rn
Square in the middle? Since there are 9 pieces 
This is some high quality cooking
should be relatively easy to find out which pieces can go where by just lining up those small squares in a grid though
I'd assume so. Was also the first in the order so
amogus
Can't wait to play Gimp Tetris
If this QR code ends up being next next next next time…
actually that could be 6 alignment squares
for reference, this is apparently the smallest possible qr code with 6 small squares (content is just nonsense, repeated a until it was big enough)
i will tier 3 sub
soon
i wonder if i can use this as a reference
i'm still correcting perspective on the individual pieces 
Someone make it into an actual playable Tetris game
i really don't want to
you can, the sides of the large squares are encoded differently, if i'm remember the spec right.
nonononononononononono
That's what I'm saying
YES BRUTE FORCE
im cooking in vc
failed to scan
you might want a read through that thread
Timing patterns 
that's actually a really useful bit here
concept art
Yes
ok so the orange one probably isn't from the top left
it's not even aligned how would it scan
So definitely 6 x 6
Wait make it more HD
unless i have really low quality screenshots
Waffle's making it hd rn
With no color background
Maybe work

Upscale it to like 4k, the qr code should still be readable
I only reposted it for Mithos
@dapper wraith has leveled up! (12 ➜ 13)
This'll make it so much easier to align pieces
nice
POG
im cooking vc but its not very interesting to watch lol
when you get them all can you upload them to drive ok cool
i might put them in blender and organise them in there
It needs to be an emoji so you can combine them in a message 
He's cooking 
this piece seems to have a small square + dotted lines going up/down
(second column from the left)
Already putting them in the doc :p
amogus
nowaying

yeah ok imma wait until they're un-warped and then ill try and put them together
photopea is good but not that good
this one has a dotted line going to the right, from the top right corner of the big square
Morse code 
in which case it likely should be the one in the top left
actually i think this is mostly correct based on the alignment squares image you posted, except the yellow part needs to be rotated
anyone figured out a possible 6 x 6 arrangement for the pieces?
i don't see a dotted line going up from orange
hm that would be a good idea
also idk about the red piece, it's too blurry, but i think it only has one dotted line (going to the right), which would make it the bottom left corner (rotated counterclockwise)
All of it's blurry 

lmao
Remember the order they drop
thats likely important for doing this
ooh, good idea
Here's the order, bit blurry but yeah
How did we know that square was first tho?
it doesn't work with that order though, does it? yellow first just doesn't work I think
This is basically the only part of the ARG I can even be slightly helpful for
pffh
Mmm, I see, then probably the green position square is the top left position square
i did it in minecraft 
AINTNOWAY
THIS IS CODE 
tbh not necessarily, as long as the pieces drop in that sequence something will work probably
sequence becomes first visible like this (although it is obstructed by the leg in the beginning)
congratulations
might be by chance that it was the first frame
it can start at any piece
looks kinda rigght
and orange rotated clockwise in top right?
there are corners in the corners
swap the greens
there are 2 approaches: we nerd out in tetris, or we nerd out with qr code specs
atm we're geared to do the latter
wait the greens are different 
unless tetris order means something else
time to t-spin the qr code 
purpl
pog
burble
No, I think bottom right, and connects to the top right square with the 4x1 block, it has the dotten line on it
Imagine one wrong pixel on the entire QR.
🤔 bottom right doesn't have a big square though
surely error correction would save us there 
im sure vedal tested it 
shouldn't matter because of error correction (as long as it's not in a crucial section)
Nice! This seems to be right after doublechecking. I was solving it in excel lel
whoops, meant to say bottom left and top left 
no embed perms
will it gonna be next next next next next next next next time
Gonna stick with waffle's codes, they're all the same size. So it'll be easier
you came at the right time to play some tetris

this one is wrong i think? the gap inside the big square should only be 1 pixel wide, like the outer border, but here they're 3 and 2 pixels respectively 🤔

ooh wait i can directly shove the images into blender can't i
OH IT'S A NEW ONE
finally content for schizoing
Finally, my insanity run starts
Can't wait to go home and schizo for hours
if this is a next next next time im going to kill
fixed i think
why is this one so low quality compared to the others
not from the same person
Smaller size too
if you upscale it, upscale it without interpolation
looks right after downscaling 2x i think
i think they're all 2x bigger than they should be so there might be other mistakes like that, idk though
What I got cooking rn from all the pieces waffle made. Doesn't line up and the purple-z doesn't fit rotated the other way either 
(I was following mr minecraft man)
Thinking purple might be bottom right
we may need to rotate some
seems good tho
Oh yeah no we definitely need to rotate
hmmm
is purple 1 px bigger?
But that's rough for now
there is no dotted line going from bottom left positional square to the top left square, so that can't be right.
I said that before, I think the green square is the top left one
What software are you using? Gimp downscales them when I rotate them
Yeah like I said, rough for now
the square as to be rotated
.
must be the bottom
I'm using website called pixlr. Also downscales if not rotated properly but once you click off it should be fine
True
Kk ty
not sure if this is right
We have to rotate so much 
but the dotted lines should be good
Maybe?
it can work
Let me try it
looks like the top part is correct
you've got the alignment thigny correct
which shows it is the top
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a1/78/92/a17892cd620197058bf1a50c76f89f64.png
what if the ARG just ends like this but the word "bread" being replaced with "an engineer"
The red L would go right below the green, right?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1112082183235047506/1135637893784813688/8.png anyone got a higher rez of this?
i've only been trying 90 degree rotations because
well
tetris
idk my brain hurts 
we are cooking so hard
looks plausible though
we have a possible solution without the need of flipping, only rotating
there is a sequence
i think doge is pretty close
Let me remake them by doing all 90 degree rotations so they're perfectly aligned and may not be messed up by me
cuz' they've got the blue bit of this
moreso only this part
looks like a better start
which should be on-off afaik
the purple piece i have seems to be one pixel too high (17 after downscaling)
(or i guess the pieces just aren't evenly sized, my top left corner is also 17 wide)
For reference
green also has it going down
which makes this the most promising orientation
then those pieces are definitely right
checks out
yeah he got both timing sequences and the cutoff part looks like it might have the alignment squares 👍
man i love blursed qr code knowledge
We're cooking
the alignment squares need to be on the same row
Fellow bad tetris member 🤝
Yea I know, just messing around
this does not preserve the timing line
anyways ill let doge cook
Overlaps on t-piece on the right, doesn't fit
i need a better quality of this please
technically we don't need most of the left-hand side
does anyone have it
Not yet
i dont got it, we could try to remake it pixel by pixel
just wait for a bit
me too
ok let the waffle cook
does anyone have a clip?
Do we know where it is? The timing line i mean
im doing with aseprite which allows me to unify the qr code better
but i dont have a high res pic of that
wdym
Do you have the recording?
can make one for you, wait a sec
wow, that looks super scuffed
it does
red is def bottom left
Guessing purple z is bottom right
What if we sharpen then upscale
Wait, that looks like it's on purpose, not a glitch
if it's from my recording, it could be compression 
Waffle's remaking them, we can try and put them together once we have all the pieces
Don't have a Nvidia GPU but if somebody has, please upscale it :P https://github.com/n00mkrad/cupscale
wait, im forget to mute the sound lolz
good luck you guys 
the red piece is still
absurdly low quality
but mute and send
this is still good
do you have a amd ver?
The one in doc looks scuffed too
wait, seem like it's somehow lower my quailty
If I had one I'd do it myself ):
thats the last one i need to complete the qr code
If you're on Linux you could use ROCm
and i cant do anything at all
waffle almost finished
does anyone have the clip
is there a twitch clip??
Ha got here before anyone else could respond
