I solved the unlocked sudoku! It was pretty challenging, but now I’m in your inbox like I’m outside Rentaro’s shed begging for more puzzles

Congrats on solving!

I have a few other puzzles out there, with ranging difficulty

Getting Knotty: German whispers, region sums, and renban lines. Tested pretty solidly at a 2/5 on difficulty

What is this Feeling?: German whispers and renban lines. This one is older and has been solved but wasn’t ranked for difficulty; I think it’s on the simpler side. Note that caged cells contain a secret but serve no purpose in solving the puzzle

We’re Off (To See the Wizard): German whispers, entropic lines, and partial kropki. This tested higher than I expected on difficulty at a 3.4/5

And for anyone else, the mentioned puzzle It’s Unlocked from the most recent Clue Crew zine, featuring German whispers and killer cages, intended to also be on the simpler side

For a wider range of puzzles, check out dailykillersudoku.com or the studio goya app Killer Sudoku or Cracking the Cryptic – the Killer Sudoku app is paid but has zero ads while the Cracking the Cryptic app has some free sample sudokus with a variety of variants and then a number of paid packs, again with no ad. Searching “generally approachable sudoku” will also yield a number of interesting puzzles that aren’t too difficult

Lookism x Reader: Simps

G/N. Gun Park, Ryuhei Kuroda, Jake Kim. Just stupid and silly.

Goo calls Gun a simp.

He says it mocking and derisive as if it is something to be ashamed of.

Maybe it is. Gun doesn't know what a simp is. Goo opens his mouth and most of the time only shit comes out. Gun isn't about to ask and neither does he care.

"Wrapped around Y/N's finger," Goo sneers and that, Gun understands.

Maybe that's true too. He still aims a punch at the blonde's head.

.

.

Leaning over Gun's shoulder, you peer at the search box and chuckle, "Simp? Why are you searching for simp?"

"I'm researching what it means."

"Huh." Your brows knit together, wondering how he came across the term, when this is the kind of person who likes to text in either simple emojis or full sentences and no inbetween, has no idea about pop culture references and terminologies, and you had to teach him what the eggplant emoji actually meant.

A lightbulb goes off.

A Cheshire cat smile creeps over your face, " Did Goo Kim call you a simp?"

Gun turns towards you, traces of annoyance on his face, "He did."

"Well, aren't you?"

He looks down at the definition of simp again, doesn't really understand why it's meant as an insult, when at the crux of it, for Gun, it's simply someone attentive and devoted to their partner.

Gun grumbles, but he supposes: Yes. For you, he is a simp.

Kenta and Ryuhei are Executives.

Part of the exclusive club of Senior Management at Workers yet they both wait patiently in line at the coffee bar as their assistants (and yours) fidgets behind them.

"They're worried," Kenta murmurs in his native tongue.

"Why?" Ryuhei glances over and indeed all three appear concerned.

"That you think they can't do their jobs."

"It's just a coffee." Ryuhei shrugs, "Anyone can get a coffee."

"Exactly," Kenta wonders if he's being deliberately obtuse. "And it's expected that assistants get the coffee. They think they're doing something wrong because you're here."

"I know how Y/N likes their coffee."

"So does their assistant."

"I know precisely how Y/N likes their coffee."

Kenta sees the beginnings of a sulk, Ryuhei's bottom lip starting to jut out and the furrow of his brows, and sighs.

Ryuhei is being deliberately obtuse. It's not even a particularly adventurous order. Even Kenta knows how you like your coffee, having unfortunately been dragged here by his friend enough times. 

They both shuffle forwards.

"One large Americano. No sugar, no milk," Kenta demonstrates, rattling off your drink of choice to the barista. 

It's difficult to get wrong.

Ryuhei gasps dramatically at Kenta stealing his thunder, and receives an eye roll in return. Who cares about who places the order? Ryuhei is going to be the one that hand delivers the coffee anyway, then hang around you all afternoon being a nuisance.

"You're such a simp." Kenta complains.

Any hint of indignation disappears, and a wide cheerful grin spreads over the blonde’s face.

"I know!"

.

.

For someone of Jake Kim's size, he can be surprisingly sleuthy.

He pokes his head into the room, where the majority of his inner circle sits, hears both his and your name being mentioned and his ears perk up.

Oh?

With quiet, measured movements, sneaks over to the table, and slides into the empty space between Jason and Jerry.

"-I can't believe he is such a simp!" Brad chuckles.

"He really is," Jason agrees.

Jake leans forward, "Who is?"

Lua rolls her eyes, "Jake!"

"Me?"

Hasn't this guy kept up with the conversation? "Yeah, obviously!" Lineman adds-

And then eyes widening in shock, recoils sharply. As does the rest of the table.

Jake?! When did?! How?! What?

An uncomfortable silence descends, festers, stretches taut-

Snaps, when Jake raises his eyebrows and asks the group, "I'm a simp, huh?"

Jerry, his ever loyal sword, speaks for the first time. "You are."

Jake considers it, thinks about himself, thinks about you and his eyes soften. He grins, toothy and lovestruck, "I am."

ICE Senior Detective Glitch Solved!!!

omg I feel so sleuthy right now! There's a glitch in ICE where Elsa never picks up the phone on Senior Detective mode no matter how much you try, which has infuriated me for ages because I'm a 'leave no stone unturned' kind of player. Today I tried to do something about it, and it worked!!

I noticed that regardless of how many times I read her resignation note, her phone number never appeared in Nancy's notebook. It turns out that the Senior Detective glitch is that it never registers that you've read the note, which then never activates her phone number.

So the solution is to go into the developers menu and manually check off the event that you've seen her number! Solution: Press ctrl+shift+tab+C at the same time to bring up the developer's menu. Go to the 'Events' tab and search for 'elsa'. Check off the event "Saw_Elsa_Number". Hit Enter.

Note 1: The resolution of my screen makes the menu dialog stretched and cut off. If this happens to you, you can still do the above! The parts that you need will be on the screen (using search makes it so you don't need to scroll through the events), and hitting Enter will work instead of clicking the OK button that is cut off.

Note 2: Elsa doesn't always answer the phone even when you've seen the number. If you do this and she doesn't immediately answer, try calling again at another time (I'm not sure what her available hours are, but this is what worked for me!)

Sorry for such a long-winded post, but I am so excited to have figured out a solution!!

Hiii I really love your art and was wondering if you wouldnt mind showing what kind of brushes you use for your recent drawings thank you so much and i look forward to your future arts!

Of course! I've answered this a few times before but have never really tagged it properly, and I also realised that I've never actually explained what I use each brush for so I'll do that now!:

I'm gonna go through each of these brushes in order (and if i remember correctly, I'll link the top two since they arent default CSP brushes). (NOTE: almost all of these brushes have anti-aliasing turned off so that it can look more crispy and pixely!!! there is one exception to this that I will get into)

For this brush, I exclusively use it for sketching, it's advertised for inking digital manga panels, but with how the pen pressure is I feel like it adds form to my sketches

This brush, Sleuth-y Pen, is what I use mostly for MSPFA panels, mostly for lining, but sometimes for sketching too if I'm having a hard time with my usual sketching pen. It's really good if you want to replicate the homestuck style, and good for broad strokes on smaller canvases. The only issue is that the brush isn't great for that style if you use it on a larger canvas (ideally you would want 650 x 450) and can be especially messy if you're trying to get smaller details, such as open mouths, and certain facial details. I use another brush for that, which I will get into soon.

My second use for the sleuthy pen is for lineart on larger canvases in my usual artstyle! It has a texture to it that I like, as I like having my art appear a little rough around the edges, and the issue regarding small details isn't nearly as prominent of a problem

Almost done! Now we have the G-pen, a default CSP brush! This used to be one of my top 2 pens, along with its counterpart "Real G-pen" but nowadays I use it for two things: clean-up during rendering (usually getting those smaller details done that the sleuthy pen has difficulty with) and for doing SOME MSPFA panels (Vast Error, for example)

As you can see here, Liaaam's face is a little smoother than the rest of him, that's because I use the G-pen for those details, to keep things a lot cleaner! As for my other use, Vast Error's style from my understanding is a lot more "smooth" and "clean" which is why I exclusively use the G-pen for it, you can also make a lot of thick, juicy brush strokes with it which I feel works really well for the hair and folds in the clothes!

Finally, the Real G-pen, another default. This one is very similar to the last, its only differences are that it's slightly sharper and ever so slightly more messy. It's almost like a medium between the sleuth-y pen, and the g-pen.

I'll be honest, I don't use this pen much anymore, BUT, I still consistently use it for one thing and one thing only: Friendsim sprites. If you want to make friendsim sprites I highly suggest this pen, and making sure it's set to "weak" antialiasing. If you want to go the extra mile, I like to use a lasso-fill tool to block out shadows in all of my art, although if I'm using a rougher brush I'll usually do that manually. There's also other brushes I've been using more for rendering full pieces, such as a "rake brush" and a "design pencil" with low pressure to get details like blush down without making it too intense. That's basically it! I'll link the brushes below if I can find them: sleuth-y pen textured pen rake brush

whats your trickster form

So funny thing about this is that my usual sona is that my sona is basically kind of horrorterror-adjacent to begin with (i.e. vaguely squiddy and 'eldritch' in the stereotypical sense.)

And I've been meaning for a while to convert xyr to a more Homestuquesque [sic] style for a while now. Here's my attempt to sketch her in a more Problem-sleuthy style a la Fluthulu and the other zoologically dubious gang.

There we go! Suitably sketchy imho.

However, this presents a problem. Because canonically

Trickster mode horrorterrors are just the squiddles.

Dear god.

Oh the humanity. Or lack thereof.

However, if I gotta go traditional (i.e. human or trollsona with some sort of sugary confection latched to their cranium).

It's Toblerone. Gotta be Toblerone.

I mean the most prominent thing I've done in this fandom is lengthy Junefic and a smattering of gender theorization, and given the weight of the mighty Toblerone in this fandom, it only seems appropriate. Plus I have like. Three toblerone in my bedroom right now. For credibility.

the sleuthy slurper.....

[barrenclan]

My turn on the Dream Curse! You were making an entire PATFW themed haunted house. The ticket booth looked like Rainhaze’s head. People who came through kept trying to ask about changes to the story and you were getting gently frustrated

People are getting so sleuthy they're trying to hack the dream world for future content. You'll never get my secrets!!

[ask-mspafamily]

did you fuck up oh sleuthy? It's alright, we all kill people from time to time, if you commit a murder, just say it

[reviewdiaries]

Guess who's back (back again)? It's me, your Secret Sleuth with what might be a trickier question. Are there any old objects you think might be cursed? For example, my parents boiler always scared me. I think it might have had a demon living in it. Or, there's an old doll my mom has with stringy hair that, when I first saw it in the attic as a kid, I thought for SURE it was possessed.

Sleuthy's back, tell a friend!

Hate to tell you, but that doll was ABSOLUTELY possessed. Also pretty likely that the boiler was too. But you survived! So that's a win on surviving possessed or cursed objects! Go Sleuthy!

I'm not sure there were ever any *objects* that I thought were cursed growing up. Mostly because if I came across anything that seemed cursed I would nope out immediately. But we lived in a really really old house until I was ten that I absolutely think was haunted. And then from ten on just a really old house that had a frankly terrifying cellar. That was for sure haunted, and just seeing the door down to it would freak me out.
