after reading this "By 1911, having formulated a regular act, the young magician adopted the name Blackstone,

after a cigar which he felt was a name of quality" now I'm not 100% convinced that we are following the right

lead but still makes senses with the holy thing.

if there is another trickster with the same name as a silver banded holy relic i would flip out

Impressive work on those shields, guys! :woot:

Blackstone rearranges to nothing helpful that I've found, but there are some interesting phrases that come up:

on sack belt

stolen back

no black set

nothing more to report right now, but I would like to know if anyone can tell what's on the buttons holding the sack to the table.

also, i would like to point out again that it has been almost an hour and my emails to [email protected] have gone unbounced and unanswered. maybe... you have to... say the write thing in order to prompt a response? maybe that's what the clue that we haven't seen yet would be addressing?

They almost look like maple leaves.

So far, we haven't gotten very far with the last one. We know that it has to do with the magician Harry Blackstone (Sr. or Jr.?), and something with the phrase "Accept no substitutes". Now, judging from the hard puzzles so far, none of them ever have directly corresponded to the answer. That means the sentence "Accept no substitutes" is a clue TOWARDS the answer, but not a clue for the answer itself. Also, keep in mind the 4 cups on the table. Does anyone know any famous Cups and Balls magicians?

I think that they may be black-holing all messages that are not addressed to in-game addresses. As I just sent a test message to [email protected] (typo'd on purpose) to see if I'd get a bounce. So far, nothing. It's the easiest way to stop spamming at random email addresses (although don't get me started on the SMTP protocol compliance issues that brings up).

    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      By Nas · Posted

      Absolutely NOBODY has suggested such a conclusion. I am affirming the sober reality check that AV2's overall market adoption will take longer than AV1's adoption rate -- which, by the way, is the whole point of the article! While PCI-SIG is productive (on paper), other WGs have created all sorts of confusing progress plans that consumers have tuned-out of their improvements... HTML/W3C, USB, HDMI, BT, WIFI (ieee802.11) as a few other groups where spec naming conventions, split progress paths, overlapping ambitions... I'm not critiquing the AV specs group; I'm simply affirming that adoption for AV2 faces headwinds beyond the macroeconomics of it all.
