I really don't think this ARG is ever going to require someone to go to a real location.
If it is, then i don't think it should.
The Portal 2 ARG did something like that

its probably nothing but I feel that the number of 'sale titles across steam' (10126) might be significant somehow? Especially since they point it out?

probably nothing, they do that with all of their sales

ah, ok

no he means as in the order in which you press them, which would make more of a triangle than a lamda
pixels. not lines.

if it were 'drawing a shape in the order of keypresses' then the 5 would be absolutely redundant.

he was referring to this which uses lines to show how they are pressed, yet he was saying that if they were pressed in order, the line would be showing a triangle-like shape. This has nothing to do with the arg, we're just arguing over someone's delusion lol.

So if anyone's curious, according to the Facepunch, the red herring badge is the end of the ARG? But like, people managed to find an alternate way to obtain it? And like, there still might be things they've skipped over?

I guess we'll just have to wait until the sale ends or when CES happens? Probably nothing hype worthy will happen

You can do a variety of things to any picture and get a small splotch of pixels that looks vaguely like whatever you want to believe

That's what you see in this rosharch test of an arg


if we ind out ricochet 3 takes over the front page of the steam store accompanied by a recorded dance routine performed by gabe newell and the half life 2 development staff

Except it looks nothing like regular jpeg compression and jpeg compressing pure black is pure black, it wouldn't have artifacts
that and it lining up with the numpad/keys, there's too much for it to be a coincidence

exactly

I mean at the least it has to be another red herring. There is no way it's accidental.
