As long as we get to descend, I’m fine with whatever! Especially since that would give me a reason to post this gif again:

I’m torn, because on the one hand I feel like there being a timer means we’re almost finished with it and there will be at most 1 more tiny puzzle, or some sort of gateway before durtle heaven. On the other hand, durtchi (the nickname I just came up with to not say “descended koichi” that wont take off) did say he only knew of B5, so there is a high chance there’s a lot more. In terms of the end, I feel like there will be something after the timer, at least an e-mail or something.

I’ll take anything if it has Coelacanths or Descending.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we waited until April 1st and litterally nothing happened. Just the same as now, the countdown would reach 0 and start counting negative numbers. Of course, that would mean that we missed something…

The B5 image btw has a tIME png chunk which specifies creation time (also not found in the other images) which is set to 2019-2-17 03:27:48 UTC (2019-2-16 19:27:48 PST), we solved B4 around 2019-2-18 7:24:~ PST. So the image was created just 1~2 days before we solved B4. The image was created when we just found out how to read the clue but we were missing a lot messages.

and it’s also added as a txt chunk at the very end:
date:create=2019-02-17T03:27:48+00:00
date:modify=2019-02-17T03:27:48+00:00

I don’t know and am really bad at this kind of jiddling but I’m happy people like you are still looking for clues

I think we wait and nothing happens, we are supposed to figure something out

I also took a look at that, if it's helpful to you, here's some stuff I've found

EDIT: Might was well to share a few other things I’ve tried yesterday that were deadends

  • Looked at a few alpha panes of this durtichi image, nothing interesting
  • Max image size for durt-ichi is 1465x1591, but that’s doesn’t mean anything to me
  • Tried to refresh the page at exactly a certain time (e.g. when the minutes hits 0, when the hours hits 0, etc)
  • Wrote a search spider to crawl wanikani radical, kanji and vocab for comments. (There are no extra comment)

Also can koichi really stay in character, descended koichi, for another 42 days or will he come back as koichi at some point before that…

He managed to stay in character while playing dead, so doesn’t seem impossible

His death feels so short now…
