Possible Half Life 3 ARG on twitter? Steam's twitter banner has a mysterious black box in the middle that creates a weird pattern when exposure is cranked up in gimp. Pic related.
give it a rest
>>726325968bad photoshop skills is all
Most of those could be genre-relatedBut what is that second one on the second row supposed to be
>>726325968This is what happens when you rise the exposure. I have no idea what that means. Could be encoded message? Am I trippin'? There is no way it's an accident. Graphic designers don't just leave black boxes in random places.
holy shit it's an apehoop ball, NBA 2K27 confirmed bundled with Gordon and Barney free DLC on the steamtendo shitcube
>>726326117Nah bro go to twitter and look at the original banned. It's dead center. Black box. Barely darker than surrounding background.>>726326145Look closer. There's a black box there. It's better if you look at the originall less compressed pic on twitter. Steam official twitter page.>>726326174Fuck off bot.
>>726326294kill yourself you retarded ass faggot queer this thread is fucking pathetic
OG on the top and what is left when exposure is raised all the way up on the bottom.
>>726326170>>726326750Seems vaguely kanji-like, or maybe a hanzi. Can you balance it until it looks more legible?
>>726325968You mean Team Fortress 3?
>>726327458This is as sharp as it gets. It kinda has a qrish quality to it but not quite. This is how it looks only slightly overexposed. Similar patterns don't show up anywhere else in that pic. Just this black box.
>>726328070This was my view, maybe it's just image compression then.
ok guys...this is getting sad
>>726328339Yeah maybe it's just jpeg compression artifacts. It's just weird for them to leave that black box there man. And the patterns look very clean with straight lines and what not while everything else is just random garbage. Even if it is an ARG I'm probably not smart enough to figure it out anyway.
>>726326170STEAM MACHINE AND CONTROLLER HINT UNFOUND ARG VALVE FROM STEAM VALVE SOFTWARE WHERE SQUARE IN SQUARE IS THE FACE PLATE WITH LINE SEPERATE CUBE and CONTROLLER TO SIDE SIDE SIDE OF SIDE NO ONE SAW BEFORE LAUNCHING GRAUNCHING HAUNTING yeah no they put it up there and no found it until AFER the facts. This IS steam machine.
>>726325968The RGB values of the primary color inside the box are 28, 12, 0. Right outside of the box it's 28, 12, 25.The release date will likely be the 28th of December, 2025. The color blue could be significant; the absence of blue in the box may refer to Valve no longer blue balling us. However, orange can be made without the color blue as well (and this ratio of red to green is even perfect for it). Considering it is a box, the reference is quite plain to see.Personally I have no more doubts with this newfound knowledge. Just one month left, bros.
>>726330192I BELIEVE
>>726328070>>726328339>>726329318looks like some kind of chink/jap hieroglyph to me
Finally, a good thread
>>726332093looks like somebody forgot to take their meds
>>726330192>28*12^0-25=3holy shit
>>726330192Yes, the Brown Box
Is it finally happening???
Look like something
>>726325968Shut the fuck up you insufferable faggot, they're not releasing anything.
>>726338184Kinda.
>>726339227>they're not releasing anythingWhat are you basing that on?
Manipulation of the green and red channels does not really do anything but playing with the blue channel makes some patterns show up. Is it just jpg compression or is the box not actually pure black and contains additional information?
Vaguely looks combine-esque
>>726340216i am going insane
>>726344304ALERTALERTHALF LIFE 3 HOPIUM LEVELS CRITICALUSER SCHIZO MELTDOWN IS IMMINENT
it looks like a malformed qr code
>>726325968I BELIEVE
It's the letter RgoRdon
>>726338184Is this loss?
Let it go uncs :skull:
hey some of you are having a hard time with this so id just like to suggest that you check the image metadata and hex ;)
>>726330192I woke up depressed that nothing happened, but now I start to feel hopeful againPlease be real
>>726330192Isn't it more likely to be a reveal date? I doubt that HL3 is coming out in just over a month
>>726345885Why would Twitter save the metadata
You people are legitimately turning insane.
>>726346565That already happened years ago, AnonWe are all already insane, maybe HL3 will cure us all
this is from the 1080x360 image i got from browser inspecting the banner, seems clearer
>>726346964and this is the one from the banner you get if you just right click (1500x500).
two overlaid on top of each other
It was already leaked:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ao3iC_L1kzQ
>>726325968It's a fucking tiny yellow rectangle, probably some compression artifact or mistake.
>>726348176gottverdammt fegelein
>>726348598GET FRIGGIN HOPEPILLED
>>726338184thanks doc
>>726346565this is nothing. a few years ago they've zoomed in some image 100x and found a few pixels that resembled a lambda. everyone genuinely believed that it was a hidden message by valve
