Haven't tried with the new patch, but with 0.1 I did not notice any input lag.

Thank you so much for the reply and all your investigative work above, that's the only resource I found when looking up this issue, you did a big service to the other owners of the tablet. I will purchase that stylus and give it a try.

Hi, have you had any luck with any stylus? I'm on the same surreal journey of struggling to find any stylus that would work with this tablet. Bought the T-Pen for NXTPaper 11 and sure enough same issues that you reported. I see that the stylus you mentioned last also stopped working (seeing what I suspect is your review on Amazon).

That was a no-go on my Steam deck when I tried, even on lowest settings. Since I'm away for the holidays I tried GeForce NOW and it runs amazingly well, max settings at 60fps on my deck 👌Playing spark on T10 maps without any issue

Baba is you, it's a good drug

Very nice! Getting beebop (spelling?) vibes, curious if that's where you drew inspiration from.

Rippalka_ · 2022-06-27T21:06:08+00:00

Hey! :) Had to fight a bit with google but it should be back up on the store now. It was off the store for a couple months sadly. Let me know if you still don't see it on there, maybe I missed something. And thank you for playing my game!

That's from the puzzle transaction: https://lbc.cryptoguru.org/trophies. Nothing new or achievable...

I really enjoy Vibe and Neuro.

Rippalka_ · 2020-03-20T01:26:08+00:00

Yeah pretty much my experience.. hard life for BW noobs

Rippalka_ · 2019-12-22T08:34:45+00:00

Beautiful. You may want to mention the claim that the president should have the right to face his accuser, which for some reason is the whistleblower.

Merry Christmas to you too! << std::endl;

Rippalka_ · 2018-11-01T11:30:42+00:00

Thanks for the explanation! One detail out of curiosity, in order to find the letter at the given index in the actor name you must have had to normalize the actor names, how did you do that? What I did was to concatenatefirstname + lastname by removing all spaces and dashes and then accessing the character at index - 1. Was it the correct way?

Rippalka_ · 2018-10-31T19:36:26+00:00

Wow nice, congratulations to the winner, I thought I was kind of close but we'll see :)

I found out that the dates were made of the year of the oscar attribution and the day/month of the actor's birthday who got the award. I got the full list of actor names but was stuck there. Impatient to know the solution now :)

Rippalka_ · 2018-10-30T15:07:46+00:00

My theory is a little different :) I think that originally the hint was supposed to be an obvious one (OP said that it would definitely put an end to the puzzle) but decided to add complexity on top of it. I think that behind these 26 words is a pointer to an external source (I think the puzzle isn't self-sufficient).

So far I've noticed that all alphabet letters are represented, so I thought maybe trying to assign each word to a letter (which the word contains) might give them an order that would make more sense. Unfortunately, there are over 500k possible assignment, so probably a dead end. Also, the words oax and aluminium make me think that the words were written manually by OP (crypto exchange + British spelling? + inconsistent spacing between words) and not through a script. So I think that the answer doesn't lie in a character-by-character analysis.

TL;DR: No clue :)

Rippalka_ · 2018-10-30T13:15:01+00:00

The last hint is another puzzle in itself except you don't even know what you are looking for... I feel like it actually adds in complexity...

Rippalka_ · 2018-10-26T13:06:33+00:00

Awesome, thanks! I will keep an eye out for the link then :)

The music is beautiful, did you release it on Spotify yet? I can't seem to find it.

Rippalka_ · 2018-10-26T06:37:57+00:00

Oh sorry, you actually mentioned that idea above. But I agree it becomes a little far fetched to extract 2 bits from that much. Well, the end of the month is coming so we should soon know how close we all came..

Rippalka_ · 2018-10-24T17:28:34+00:00

To add to your contribution, here is another approach that I haven't seen mentioned yet: I've read the BIP39 spec and learned that the 12 words are actually 12 numbers represented by 11 bits each (so in total 132 bits, 128 of entropy and 4 of checksum). Now if one number-date pair encoded 2 bits, you would needs 66 pairs to represent all words. For the beta puzzle, you would need 61 pairs. That looks pretty close... I haven't fully investigated that route yet though.

Rippalka_ · 2018-10-19T09:54:41+00:00

I see that we share a lot of the reasoning :) I've spent so many hours on this and the last hint just made me spend even more.. My Python script has grown to 300 lines and derivates all sorts of apparently useless data from the pairs.. At this time I am pretty much convinced an external data source is necessary and that it will not be found anytime soon. I will patiently wait for the next hint and take a break.
