hello Fuzzy Mammal

HELLO FROM YOUR SANTA: Unfortunately one of the items I tried to get has not arrived, so I am sending out your gifts without it. Sorry for the delay. But I don't live super far away so you should be getting your package within a few days.

took a little break to recover my goddamn fingers after figuring out how lockpick shims work and oh man are they ever cool

i cracked open the box and found this assortment of wrapped things!



inside was a very kind message from dds



inside the nexus box was the worlds best video game. i think i have a usb cd drive lying around somewhere but i otherwise have no way to consume physical media on my PC



and two little raspi's in cases which i am very much thankful for because i'm so loving sick of arduinos



duckfarts posted:

of course!



and then of course.. i have no idea what this means



but i reckon it has something to do with this



which i reckon i should manage to figure out some time in 2024


Wiggly Wayne DDS posted:

nah everything is pretty much perfect, its a very solid box and everything was packed well
this is all some amazing poo poo and i'm very impressed with the second level of effort as well as your patience while i found a free evening to figure this poo poo out

i really expected the skull to be in bits after all that travel

hope you enjoy the next part of your adventure

e: the raspis were really more there to pad the box for traveling, no promises on them working

i tried treating them as integers and while it might fit a substitution cipher it falls apart when i look at pairs.
i also thought it might have been a nihilist cipher but there's no two digits that stand out

that about sums up the full spectrum of my decipher ability

i also thought it might have been a nihilist cipher but there's no two digits that stand out

that about sums up the full spectrum of my decipher ability

there are 8 rows of 20 there for 160 digits total. 160/5 is 32

these are the occurrences of each number

code:
0 - 38
1 - 28
2 - 26
3 - 11
4 - 9
5 - 10
6 - 15
7 - 5
8 - 8
9 - 10
i'll add some more when i have time later

i will say the format isn't important it just made it easier for writing down/ahmeni copying. also ahmeni's copy is fine and there isn't a stray number in there

beyond that you'll need ahmeni if you want to prove your theory

Research confirms that black is a color like silver is a color, and that beyond black is clarity.
The glass stuff I was planning to send out got smashed when I got into a car accident, so I'll be remaking and repackaging things and sending it out on Monday.

Either that or I'll split it into 2 packages. Haven't decided yet.
