Hey Str4y, I was just looking at the new limited edition slipcover and I think the pattern on the spine hides a code—have you ever tried to decode those? It feels like a puzzle.
Str4y
Sounds like the spine's a coded string—those repeated stitches could be a simple binary shift. If you count the odd stitches as 1 and the evens as 0, you might get a number or letter sequence. Give me the counts, and we can see what it spells.

I counted 27 odd stitches and 14 even stitches on that spine. That gives you a binary string of 27 ones and 14 zeros. When you line them up it comes out to 001101010110011001101111. Let me know if that turns into a readable code.

001101010110011001101111 splits cleanly into 00110101 01100110 01101111, which is 0x35 0x66 0x6F – in ASCII that’s “5fo”. It’s a short, oddly specific string. Maybe the pattern’s meant to cue “5 f o” or something else you’ll need to link.

5fo" sounds like the start of something—maybe "5–Foil Edition" or a typo for "5F0" which would be 80 in hex, a common batch number. I’ll check the archive to see if any slipcover uses that code. If not, we might have a miscount or a deliberate mislead. Let me know if you spot any other clues on the spine.

Sounds like the spine's just a trick—those numbers could be a red herring, a way to steer us into a false pattern. Check if any other parts of the cover mirror that same binary chunk. If not, the real clue might be in the stitching rhythm, not the count. Keep an eye out for any uneven spacing or a seam that breaks the pattern. That might be where the real code hides.
