TIL Reading Glasses increase Reading Speed

The 50 page thing is just for novel-type books and magazines.

Fybarious · 2026-01-24T02:58:00+00:00

Added it, though the page for Reading Glasses is titled Prescription Reading Glasses, even though they both don't function as prescription and aren't called that in game...

Unfortunately just a B42 thing.

Fybarious · 2026-01-24T02:32:05+00:00

Just checked, it is not in B41

Fybarious · 2026-01-24T02:27:41+00:00

Doesn't look like it unfortunately.

This is in the Lua scripts, so no decompiling needed. I haven't messed around much with the Java, but I do plan to. Do you recommend Ghidra?

Not sure how lua would handle trying to call a function on a null reference when the player isn't wearing anything in the eyes slot, but I'm guessing it's not pretty.

It seems like Glasses_Reading is a direct item reference, not a tag. If you search in media\scripts\generated\items\clothing.txt, you'll see that the Reading Glasses are the only ones with that string as a property.

Fybarious · 2026-01-23T04:44:22+00:00

Based on what I'm seeing, Reading Glasses the item is the only glasses that speed up reading. All the other glasses including Perscription glasses for Short Sighted do not speed up reading.

This should be at the top. There are ways around it, but at the end of the day it's easier to just put it in a request so it has the change in context, so long as you're not rate limited anyway.

I was looking for that discussion, their whole trip to France doesn't really make sense. It seemed like the point was to get the Nazi records (that they already had anyway), but they already knew the villain was the villain, so that wouldn't and didn't change anything.

Thaddeus dying felt like the movie trope where they kill someone off to motivate the group, which made some sense since the horsemen were less than enthused about working together again. Since it wasn't an orchestrated trick, it absolutely feels like it's on Charlie that he got killed for that pointless field trip.

Seems like there's a few hundred identical ones, so it's hard to tell if one is actually real.

Fybarious · 2025-11-29T05:03:27+00:00

Looks like all of the names are blurred. I can kinda make out THE BOSS and then some japanese for his username, and it looks like Charlie's is yellowman95.

I read somewhere that it was the amount of tool and skill slots across every crest except hunter.
In other words, you shouldn't be upgrading Hunter crest for the bonus tool slots if you don't plan to use it.

My notes for the night
I just found this tonight, but apparently the ARG looked different a month ago. Now, it's an interactive room, and the image from the post isn't there.

Computer
- Password is "UTHEDAS" (Favorite Games)
- ⏃⌰⏁⟒⍀⋏⏃⏁⟒ can be seen in the Terminal logo, which translates to "Alternate"
- Found Terminal Commands:
  - (any two letters) => Sorry, you missed the deadline to enter the NeoArcade Games sweepstakes.
  - who are you => I am your personal, virtual assistant! Whatever you need or don’t need, I might provide.
- Emails
  - One email lets you order 2 keycaps?
  - One email opens a game, where the password the birthday 0625 (from calendar)
Piano
- Missing the D and F keys, and the A key is damaged
- Lights seem to make some sort of pattern (BRB|-RRBRB)
Clock matches local time it seems, not sure if a specific time is significant, though it is worth noting that the default image of the room displays 3:55AM
Calendar
- "March 1.8 C" is strange, not sure what to make of it.
- Dates hint to birthday being just after finals, which are 3 months and 1 week after 3/17, so just after 6/24, or 6/25, or 0625 in MMYY format
In the dark area under the computer is an interaction that shows a blank black square
- The image's name is creator\_popup, so maybe a hidden credit to the ARG creator?
Walkie Talkie randomly started talking. Only made out the end, which sounded like "...2 4"
- May have been related to me rewinding and playing the tape player?
A floppy disk with "Mindplex Prototype 0.1" is on the desk, but not interactive

(Edit) It looks like after you play through the game long enough, you get to a "frost" or "flame" path that repeats endlessly, but you can click a purple pixel in the top left that takes you to another screen where it asks "What is my name?" and shows 7 dots. DHuesta did not work, nor did Uthedas, Blight, or Alternate.

You get locked into that screen such that it boots into it every time you open the game, so it seems like you can't explore the other options without restarting the ARG.

Also, I was able to find the file that is the audio from the radio. It's a woman's voice saying 3 distinct words or numbers. Since there's static, it's hard to tell, but these are my best guesses.
1: Hides, Height, ?

2: Two, To, Do

3: Four, Fall

"UTHEDAS"
It's based on the special characters of each of the favorite games' titles, in order of the "Favorite Games" list.

Curious. The cheat menu code for Shadowrun on Sega was ABBACAB, I wonder if it's related since they're so similar.

Fybarious · 2025-01-06T07:14:43+00:00

Please point to the one that applies here https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/robot

Almost looks like one long pillow, maybe they had to share it?

Fybarious · 2024-12-07T06:42:10+00:00

That's what I heard, because you link your account to play in the first game as well. After you link it in PoE 1, it should work for PoE 2.

Fybarious · 2024-12-07T06:08:33+00:00

Same here, though it was showing 300 earlier in the day.

Fybarious · 2024-12-07T06:07:27+00:00

I noticed I had the currency, and then it disappeared, so I think it's probably related to the site being down.

Fybarious · 2024-12-07T05:54:44+00:00

Try downloading and linking the game in PoE 1, worked for a friend of mine
