#QR code reading

PUZZLE WEEK - CONCLUSION

[I WILL FINALLY ADMIT: YOU ALL ARE A LITTLE SMARTER THAN I THOUGHT. I SUPPOSE I HAVE TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING AS A REWARD FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK OTHER THAN MY SHALLOW CONGRATULATIONS....]

[AH! I'M SURE THERE IS SOMETHING PREVIOUSLY HIDDEN I CAN BRING FULLY TO LIGHT. THOSE OF YOU I AM PROUDEST OF HAVE SEEN THIS ALREADY.]

[THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING.] [LEAVE ME ALONE NOW.]

Are Sleep Token fans just extremely unlucky? Has Sumerian Comics ever fucked up this badly? I am genuinely curious, because everything that could go wrong has gone wrong for this pre order. There are people who still haven't received any shipping emails or tracking numbers, there is damage to the screenplay book, posters, and graphic novel itself (like they were carelessly handled before being packaged), many tier 3 orders are flat out missing the screenplay book, the QR code for the digital download leads to a 404 error page, and some people flat out never got a QR code at all.

... This is honesty starting to feel like some insane social experiment instead of a handful of unfortunate incidences.

Some quick Shilk doodle with messy shading to practice a tad bit

Not really doing anything in particular these days, figured I should practice my anatomy a little since I can be a bit nit picky.

Don't really like how flat my bases before I put clothing and hair in there look sometimes, so we gotta fix that/silly

I'm actually pretty happy with this one, had fun figuring things out here

I made the amazing Butterfly series by Moreta1848 into a book!

A6 size, cream white paper, body font is Coelacanth and title font is Empherian. The butterfly motif is my own design.

Now brb, I’m going to get a nice cup of tea and some muffins and read this series for the nth time.

(You can go read it here.)

Have You Read This Web Novel?

Xing Ye couldn’t accept the sudden death of his younger brother, and as he searched for answers, he recalled the QR code he once saw on his brother’s phone. Having a photographic memory, he was able to quickly sketch out the QR code. Upon scanning it with his phone, he then finds himself transported to an all-white room, where, at the very middle, a giant cube was afloat. Xing Ye then learned that his brother was a player in this Game of Challenging Fate, and to learn how his brother died, he signed himself up to it. Later, he gets ahold of a sentient mirror, and the very existence of it hints at the truth of what this Game is really about. - Novel Updates

If you’re in the process of reading this web novel, please choose whichever option best fits your situation. You do not have to be completely finished with it to answer “yes.”

[jon-mcbrine-author]

I have no clue why this is a real holiday but I’m celebrating 🎉😂

[dullahandyke]

we need to do something about the qr code epidemic at colleges. I have a Samsung from 2018 you cant be doing this shit to me

[billymarvel]

marvel putting an extra page behind a qr code in their PHYSICAL comics is just insane. like ur so worried about people scanning them that you then basically just make it even more difficult and inconvenient for a fan to read your shit. vile

I don't know I'm not done talking about it. It's insane that I can't just uninstall Edge or Copilot. That websites require my phone number to sign up. That people share their contacts to find their friends on social media.

I wouldn't use an adblocker if ads were just banners on the side funding a website I enjoy using and want to support. Ads pop up invasively and fill my whole screen, I misclick and get warped away to another page just for trying to read an article or get a recipe.

Every app shouldn't be like every other app. Instagram didn't need reels and a shop. TikTok doesn't need a store. Instagram doesn't need to be connected to Facebook. I don't want my apps to do everything, I want a hub for a specific thing, and I'll go to that place accordingly.

I love discord, but so much information gets lost to it. I don't want to join to view things. I want to lurk on forums. I want to be a user who can log in and join a conversation by replying to a thread, even if that conversation was two days ago. I know discord has threads, it's not the same. I don't want to have to verify my account with a phone number. I understand safety and digital concerns, but I'm concerned about information like that with leaks everywhere, even with password managers.

I shouldn't have to pay subscriptions to use services and get locked out of old versions. My old disk copy of photoshop should work. I should want to upgrade eventually because I like photoshop and supporting the business. Adobe is a whole other can of worms here.

Streaming is so splintered across everything. Shows release so fast. Things don't get physical releases. I can't stream a movie I own digitally to friends because the share-screen blocks it, even though I own two digital copies, even though I own a physical copy.

I have an iPod, and I had to install a third party OS to easily put my music on it without having to tangle with iTunes. Spotify bricked hardware I purchased because they were unwillingly to upkeep it. They don't pay their artists. iTunes isn't even iTunes anymore and Apple struggles to upkeep it.

My TV shows me ads on the home screen. My dad lost access to eBook he purchased because they were digital and got revoked by the company distributing them. Hitman 1-3 only runs online most of the time. Flash died and is staying alive because people love it and made efforts to keep it up.

I have to click "not now" and can't click "no". I don't just get emails, they want to text me to purchase things online too. My windows start search bar searches online, not just my computer. Everything is blindly called an app now. Everything wants me to upload to the cloud. These are good tools! But why am I forced to use them! Why am I not allowed to own or control them?

No more!!!!! I love my iPod with so much storage and FLAC files. I love having all my fics on my harddrive. I love having USBs and backups. I love running scripts to gut suck stuff out of my Windows computer I don't want that spies on me. I love having forums. I love sending letters. I love neocities and webpages and webrings. I will not be scanning QR codes. Please hand me a physical menu. If I didn't need a smartphone for work I'd get a "dumb" phone so fast. I want things to have buttons. I want to use a mouse. I want replaceable batteries. I want the right to repair. I grew up online and I won't forget how it was!

No, actually, that's how you address these problems. Maybe people in job-roles can't address them that way, but the more people who straight-up bully HOA Karens about their preferences, the more, "Oh. This is actually good and normal," is spread in the world. Sometimes you have to be an asshole in order to do good.

i do think we need to start treating spraying harmless "weeds" in your lawn as utterly absurd princess and the pea level of obsession with needing the world to revolve around your every whim, like.

Okay a flower grew out of the ground outside and you can't cope with it. Do you need to sleep on thirty feather beds as well
