37 blinky x gunmar if you are not comfortable with it don’t do it

37. meeting in prison au

And by prison, I mean "the Darklands" because this would be an au where Blinky got sent to the Darklands instead of Dictatious. They're imprisoned together ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

~

"We found him wandering a few miles southwest of where the bridge stood," one of Gunmar's soldiers said. She had her hand on the shoulders of a blue skinned troll. A sack had been stuffed over his head, and all four of his hands had been bound together by rope.

"Kneel," Gunmar said, and the soldier forced the troll to his knees.

Carefully as to not rip the fabric, Gunmar tore the bag off the troll's head to reveal a head glaring up at him with six eyes.

"What were you doing there?" Gunmar asked.

"I will never answer to you, Gumm-Gumm!" the troll said with entirely too much bluster. Bluster that was lost as Gunmar got close to his face and growled. "Please don't hurt me! I'm just a scholar; I shouldn't have been at Killahead!"

"A scholar or a spy?"

"I swear I'm not a spy; though I supposed that's just what a spy would say. But I swear to you, I've never even been in a fight before AAARRRGGHH!!! attacked Dwoza!"

"Dwoza you say? You'll be telling me all about them, scholar, and when we get out your information had best be accurate."

They had only been locked in the Darklands for about three nights. Surely it wouldn't be much more.

SEND ME A SHIP AND A NUMBER AND I’LL WRITE A SHORT FIC

@actuallybells asked: you rolled out of bed and managed to dress yourself. - from sanji

❝ huh? ❞ luffy didn't quite catch what was said, between rubbing at bleary eyes and releasing a wide yawn. yes, the straw hat captain slept later than usual, but bandaged and battered body refused to allow him to rise any earlier — or at all during the past two days. he had finally managed to rouse himself from the infirmary bed and into a pair of pants and one of his vests at least.

the dark-haired man's lips smack together softly as lingering sleepiness fades and he blinks back at the cook, expression mostly blank. it takes a moment or two, but the delayed response of his eyes lighting up and the reality of how long he slept finally hits.

❝ wait!! i didn't miss breakfast did i??! ❞

a meme prompt that i lost the source for (still accepting if you can find it)

What's Behind The Mask

What feels like forever ago, there was this podcast called Fetish Flame (RIP) that had its hosts get a little into hypnosis when they were winding down. It was pretty good and one of the things that happened near the end was that they experimented with the Nova Pro 100 and a hood at the same time, due to its bright lights. For some reason I remembered this recently and I brought it up to @dommestic, so on Sunday morning we gave it a shot. She bought what I assume is some sort of spandex hood with a reenforced, built-in eye mask which blocks most of the light from the outside, but if my eyes are open I can see traces of the blinky lights through it. And brother/sister/sibling, let me tell you, it makes it hard to think during and after.

If you've never used the Nova Pro 100 (which I believe is the most deadly consumer-grade brainwashing machine 1994 had to offer, who should probably be paying me for the plugs some day) it's a very old-school gizmo with red LEDs on a metal box that connects to headphones, LED-enabled eyewear, and if you're so inclined, a microphone/audio input so someone can talk to you or you can play audio. It's pre-Bluetooth and I think the first version of this might be pre-internet. (We didn't get one until almost 10 years ago.) I got trained on it a lot, so I tend to drop pretty quick and pretty hard, although we haven't used it as much lately. (I'm hoping this changes now that it's not Obscenely Hot All the Time.)

The hood added some surprising effects. For starters it was more like I was trapped in my head and that submissive headspace. We don't have much in the way of kink apparel or collars or some such. As such, I was not entirely prepared for the sensation that despite the back-to-back hypnosis sessions being over, I was going to be pretty much in ultra-submissive-headspace mode for quite some time, which resulted in a very happy dominant, surprisingly so, to the extent of "I wonder if this is going to be a regular thing." Trying to fill various demands while blindfolded should be a challenge but I don't remember having any real difficulty with it.

It's cozy. It's tight. Should I be wearing more restrictive things for her enjoyment? I guess I'll need more research or serendipitous blog posts to find out.

How are you all doing?

~INTRO TIME~

i go by Synth online. i probably count as a “tumblr old” (been here since 2011, and i’m even older than the source material my f/o comes from). i’m one of these 🏳️‍🌈. i do a lot of arts n crafts, and have commissions open. i’m bad at writing about me.

this is my main selfship sideblog- my main blog and the one i'll follow you from is @leadendeath, mostly furry-oriented but personal too, and if you want more general spunch.b0p-related goodness, i’m over at @1percentevil. if you already know me from those places, you are absolutely fine to follow/interact/whatever. i’m only joking when i call myself cringe or embarrassing :))) i’m unnecessarily self-conscious about every action i’ve ever done ever and i gotta get over it somehow.

This isn’t a faq, more like a “things you might be wondering about”:

“What does your url mean?” -the species plankton are called copepods. yay for having a pre-existing interest in marine bio. the 5000 doesn’t mean anything, i just thought it looks cool. and vaguely technological.

“Plankton is already married…” -anyone who loves Plankton, i also love by extension. That includes Karen! luckily i like computers and robots too very much :)

“So are you okay with sharing him?” -See above. Yes! He needs all the love.

“Anniversary?” -23/7/23. i already knew him from years back, but really reconnected with him when i heard a certain song… it was love at first listen. i’ve had few and far between f/os in the past, and every time it was the same “fall for them hard and fast” situation.

“F/O list?” -just the one guy is all i need. :)

Now here’s where i’ll infodump about my s/i…… eventually lol. When I get round to getting a few sketches I’ve done out of “WIP purgatory”, I’ll post about it under the #🦈 tag. I’m a shark, his best(/only…) customer, then shoulder to cry on, then we progress to more… lil dweeb latches on to the first guy who truly doesn’t consider him a loser. i could be talking about either of them there…

❗i now have a toyhouse page for it! backstory and more here❗

OKAY GREAT >⨀D #i’m joking #s/i is #🦈 #tag for the two of us is #🦈💚𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘶𝘱 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯💚🦈 #tag for us three is #🦈💚🖥 #i remember to tag unsafe for work a lot but i'm not great at tagging sfw! #regardless i do try to tag sfw in case you want to browse only those type of posts #some things i'm Into which apply to the ship are: #robo #and #gt #if you know what they mean- great! if you don't then don't worry about it :^) #i reply to nice tags by reblogging from prev and replying in the tags... #replies #is where to find those #i won't be brave enough to post my art here; but it'll be under something basic like #my art #ok i think that's about it!

[ice-cappuccino]

i’m cappuccino — i make blinkies, buttons, mini-buttons/web charms/decome, dividers, and stamps! (as a whole i call them all decorators, as i’ve never seen someone refer to them all at once. i have no idea the name)

send a request! (info below)

i will do … (be specific for what colors, words, etc)

character themed decorators

any ships

general fandom decorators (shows, books, bands, comics, fanfic-related, etc)

lgbtq+ decorators

neurodivergency decorators

DNI decorators

cw/tw warning decorators

gifs or still images

specific dimension sizes (specify which pixel count is the width or height)

fonts are tricky for me, so i may not be able to, but feel free to request a specific one! i’ll have a font list that’s available below (in progress)

specific frame amount + fps

i CANNOT properly resize an image to be used on a decorator, but feel to request with the image you want in case i figure it out for the future

i will NOT do anything related hate speech-y, racist, anti-lgbtq, etc. be a bigot somewhere else, loser.

feel free to send already existing decorators you want me to have the style of, and what specifically you’d like me to try and be similar to. (i will NOT directly edit specific pre-existing templates unless it’s from plasticdino.neocities.org or blinkies.cafe, as i feel it’s better rude to the creator—unless you link where they say people can freely use their template)

please credit me if you use my decorators for your tumblr blog. you don’t have to credit me on your personal websites, but i would super appreciate it :,3

[ironvaliance]

disclaimer about my liveblog/note taking & a general quick review of some of my opinions.

under a cut for spoilers / length. i'll try and make sure that my posts after the first two - which are up to 10 minutes into the movie - have a cut to them so that anyone who hasnt watched tales of arcadia can have a chance to view the three series first. please do. it's done so much for my brain chemicals.

so i've watched trollhunters: rise of the titans once through. i know this movie is going to hurt watching it. i personally feel like a lot of how the movie runs does jim a disservice. i felt like he'd been pushed aside in wizards a bit too much. yes, wizards is douxie's series for us to get to know him, as well as flesh out some of the other characters we meet in trollhunters' endgame like morgana, merlin & douxie himself and add some new characters. it's relatively successful in my opinion, in keeping up with how the other two series of tales of arcadia feels.

i started really writing fic and being active in this fandom under starconsequence/trolljim on ao3 & formerly tomearts - now teacuptomes! i run a jim rp blog @trollamulet & i have a few others, but jim has been my main squeeze putty boy since my partner just. put trollhunters on while i was home and had me watch it, since she heard that 3below was releasing season one. she thought she should finish it up, and i was introduced to jim lake jr fairly early in. it was after they got gunmar's birthstone from gato's keep, and blinky was (temporarily) human.

this is to say - most of these are just so i have an archive of fairly detailed play-by-play notes of what entails in this movie for quick reference to comply with some canon. however, i treat tales of arcadia after 3below a bit like a sandbox; one with some of the staff also building castles with us at the time.

the movie feels a lot like a heartbreak, like i'm jim and i've lost my amulet. jim remained in my heart, deep within. watching. waiting for me to rediscover the spark i have for the series. he truly is someone that burns brightest in darkest times. however, getting back into toa, i'm attacking my fanfic 'i've got to find my soul all before i sleep', rewriting it since it's a post-wizards, pre-rott canon divergent thing that i wrote, starting directly after finishing wizards.

if you want - go read the original version. i'm keeping it up on ao3 as is, however i will be posting a newer version & finishing the planned chapter 3 i left it with for so long that my interpretation and writing style has slightly changed.

so, yeah. these posts serve as a half-liveblog, half-note archive. part troll part hunter kind of experience. maybe i might watch the movie again to transcribe it - some of the subtitles on netflix are missing words here and there. nothing much, you don't miss too many things, but i personally get irritated if what i'm reading and what i hear are different. thanks adhd.

i'll probably also archive this experience on my nc blog too. please look forward to it!

and if you dared to venture here, and you havent watched trollhunters, please take the time to do so. i joke it's required watching if you want to be my friend, but i would never force you to view it to talk with me. i appreciate if you do.

Include More Fred and George in Fic Challenge

hosted by @1917farmgirl​

Deadline: 9/3/20

Anyone who knows me knows that Fred and George are my favorite Harry Potter characters.  I love those two wacky twins.  But sadly, they usually only show up briefly in fics, and then as minor background characters (usually for comic relief.)  But I feel like they deserve the right to star in stories of their own. 

Rewards:

First place: Award graphic.Three additional reviews. Honorary membership in the "Include More Fred and George in Fanfic" support group (it's real, I promise.  We even have a blinkie, check out my About Me if you doubt me.)  And I will also gush about your story in my first ever blog post.

Second place: Award graphic. Two additional reviews.  Honorary membership in the support group as well.

Details:

Accepted Ratings: K-T (Please nothing explicit and no smut.) Fred and George should both be in the story, and feature as main characters.  Other characters are welcome, just make sure Fred and George are central.  (Telling the story from one twin's POV is fine as long as the other twin is in the story, too.)

One-shots or short stories are preferred.  If you enter with a longer story, I will only have time to review the first chapter now.

No pre-written entries.

Be creative and have fun!  The twins have so much potential beyond just laughs!  (Crossovers, time travel, romance, AU Post-Battle, master-spies, bakery-on-the-corner, Hogwarts missing scenes, angst, drama, family, humor...  You get the picture.  I just need more twins.   Extra kudos if a certain someone doesn't die...)

Stories should be posted to the HPFT archive and linked in the challenge thread on our forums

Ruby+Penny and Blinky+AAARRRGGHH

Nuts and Dolts is one of my biggest OTPs at the moment (the other, for various reasons, is Carulia from Carmen Sandiego).  It’s ship week was the hardest I ever went in on a ship week, and this blog will be regularly full of content for them.

Blarrrghy is a lowkey OTP for me.  I think I’ve always seen it as a relationship?(even back when I was really getting into galadrilake, I always had it in my head that Blinky already had a pre-established relationship with Arrrgh!!! and it worked out that he was in relationships with both Barbara and Arrrgh!!! before they got together too).  I love seeing fan art for blarrghy, likely will reblog it, and may create for it upon request (if I’m feeling up to it).

Lets play: OTP, BROTP, or NOTP

Best Classic Retro Games for Android

Old is gold; this saying is true to its core when it comes to gaming. Missing the nostalgic vibe of retro gaming? Try out a fantastic array of retro Android games. Let’s bring back the good old days of classic games as we count down our picks for the best retro Android games.

Pac-Man 256

Often recalled as one of the most iconic games of all time, Pac-Man stands out as our all-time favorite when it comes to retro gaming. Lucky for us, the game is now available on the Google Play Store.

Rules to play the game are quite straightforward. The interactivity has changed; however, it maintained its one of a kind highlights, uncomplicated interaction, and other minor elements. As of now, the game development is completed along a labyrinth– a yellow, fun, and playful legend, moving across the courses of the area, gathering white specks along its way. Furthermore, Pac-man foes can still be found: smart and ordered phantoms with the names Blinky, Pinky, Inka, and Clyde who try to create every possible hindrance along the way.

Apart from keeping all the traditional elements intact, the Android version offers some exciting new additions like a weapon store to level up and purchase weapons.

Minesweeper

This gem was a game that we all used to have on our computers, mostly as a pre-installed game. The game can be defined as equal parts of thrill and mystery. It is a well-deserved spot when we count our picks for the best retro games. In the game, you’re presented with a playing field that is covered with numerous mines. You’re assigned the role of a sapper, to identify and clear out those mines. No mine can explode, if it does, the whole field explodes. You’re always one-wrong-move away from exploding the entire ground and losing the game. Some enticing additions were made in the Android version’s adaptation to this classic. There are now opportunities to clear up the field much earlier; a few squares can be opened from a solitary snap.

Crazy Taxi Classic

This is a “classic” in its true sense. Crazy Taxi Classic will change your perception about taking a taxi cab. Abiding by the rules, following the speed limit, an exhausting workday — no, here everything is exceptional. You’re supposed to drive to a predefined location at a speed where your vehicle may crush out. If you try to take it slow and drive carefully, the customer will get anxious and start requesting you to drive faster. This is paired up with charming customer outcries during bumps and bounces that compel you to drive as fast as you can avoiding bumps and obstacles. Frantic speed, the ability to do insane things through your drive, thumping down everything that disrupts your journey, make this game a one of its kind experience.

Sonic Dash

One of the pioneers in the endless running arcade games, Sonic Dash is one such game that holds its charm till today. It is a fast-paced gameplay experience where Sonic, the main character, runs through an endless pathway that consists of three lanes. If you’re unable to accomplish satisfactory outcomes from the run, you can head over to the in-game-store for power-ups, opening unique rewards, or to polarize the collected gold rings.

This was our list for some of the best retro Android games that you need to try out. Head over to the Play Store now, and experience the essence of nostalgia with these tasteful and everlasting classics.

so many cool badges this year. #defcon via Hackaday

Hardware is the future. There is no better proof of this than the hardware clans that have grown up around DEF CON, which in recent years has become known as Badgelife. I was first drawn to the custom hardware badges of the Whiskey Pirates at DC22 back in 2014. Hardware badges were being made by several groups at that time but that was mainly happening in isolation while this year the badge makers are in constant contact with each other.

A slack channel just for those working on their own DEF CON badges sprung up. This served as tech support, social hour, and feature brainstorming for all on the channel. In the past badges were developed without much info getting out during the design process. This year, there was a huge leap forward thanks to a unified badgelife API: the badge makers colluded with each on a unified communcations protocol. In the multitude of images below you frequently see Rigado modules used. These, and some others using different hardware, adopted a unified API for command and control, both through makers’ “god mode” badges, and for wireless gaming between participant badges.

I was able to get into the badge makers meetup on Thursday of DEF CON. What follows is the result of a frantic few hours trying to get through the sheer volume of badges and people to share with you all the custom hardware on display. One thing is for sure — there were literally thousands of custom badges built and sold/distributed during DEF CON. I can’t wait to see what the artisanal hardware industry will look like in five years time.

The MrRobot Badge

I knew that Brian Benchoff was working on a badge in his spare time. I had no idea the production he had undertaken. Brian’s Mr Robot Badge was one of the most popular of DC25. He had been working on it for months, ordering several PCB test runs to get the look just right. That’s not a custom solder mask color for the skin tone. Brian used a clear solder mask and two layers of silkscreen when he had Seeed Studio produce the PCBs. It’s driven by an ESP8266 and includes a 144 LED matrix driven by an IS31FL3731. Check out @MrRobotBadge to see the drumbeat of social media he built leading up to the con, and hear the entire story in Brian’s words on his recent project page update.

[Benchoff holding Mr Robot Badge photo by @catmurd0k]

DC DarkNet Badge

DarkNet has got to be the most popular contest at DEF CON. It starts off with a pre-conference online challenge called a casefile. Anyone who solved the casefile was able to purchase one of these badges two hours before they went on sale to the general conference-goers. The badge is necessary to solve the rest of the contest challenges

Our friend [Krux] is the mastermind behind the badge design. As you can see, it is laid out to resemble a rotary phone. Each of the numbers on the dial is a capacitive touch sensor, and the numerals/letters are open spots in the copper. These let back-mounted LEDs shine through. The badge comes as a kit so to use it you first must solder on those surface-mount LED as well as a connector for the screen and the LiPo on the back.

Who Doesn’t Love Blinky?

[Brian Benchoff] actually built three badges for DEF CON. The second was terrible, but the third was a solder kit of Ohm, the Tindie dog. [Jasmine Brackett] and [Shulie Tornel] were on hand talking to people about Tindie (a great place to sell extra hardware badges) and handing out the solder kit that includes two self-blinking LEDs, coin cell and holder, and a custom PCB.

[Sean McCabe] had a 3D badge. It’s the DEF CON 25 logo (note the 2 and 5 make up a skull with keys as the crossbones). There’s an RGB LED controlled by an ATtiny85 and coin-cell on a custom PCB. Grab the design files on his repo.

There was also a ‘punt’ badge. The SecKC folks built a badge (shown later in this article) but couldn’t produce enough in time so they showed up with edge-lit acrylic badges.

DC Zia 505

The DC Zia crew had about 10 people working on the badge this year. It’s their third year building badges for DEF CON and this one features four Cherry MX mechanical keyboard switches… clicky! The badge is a shield for an Arduino 101 (RIP). Last year they built a badge that was a shield for a Raspberry Pi and had a full-color video screen which they were showing off at the meetup. They are also joining in another trend, several badge groups (including MrRobotBadge) were giving away custom fidget spinners as swag.

AND!XOR God Badge

I’m not going to go too far into the AND!XOR badge since I did a full hands-on with the badge before the con. Here we can see the “God” badge that only the core team had. The Bender on a Bender was top three most popular badges at the con if not the most popular. They had a hugely successful Kickstarter and everyone was trying to get one at the con.

They shipped with the multiplayer features disabled until a code was input. This was Tweeted out at the beginning of the con and once people unlocked theirs the botnet game began. I was able to terminal into it and escalate my privileges to get root ([@Hyr0n] did help me out by suggesting which of his hint Tweets to revisit). I came across [Samy Kamkar] with on in the Chill Room. The code running on the ARM processor was read protect and [Samy] was using a Chip Whisperer to try to side-channel attack the badge. That’s pretty awesome!

Note the brain-slug addon board. There were about 10 of these built to test out the breakout header for hardware hacking.

Car Hacking Village Badge

Badgelife is often pushing right up against deadlines to get everything finished — this is an extracurricular activity after all. This is the un-populated Car Hacking Village badge. The assembly took longer than expected and the finished boards hadn’t arrived as of Thursday evening but did make it for sales in the village on Friday. 900 of these were for sale at $50.

You can see the full glory in this animated Tweet. An OLED display makes up the grill of the truck (which is a PCB itself) with amber blinkies all around. This is car hacking after all so the footprint on the left is for an ODB-II connector.

The Tribble Badge

The Tribble badge was a total surprise for me. [@emilyincarnate] built 58 of them and they were all hand-sewn and hand-soldered. The little balls of fluff were built around Adafruit Trinket boards, with addressable LED discs for eyes. I’m a sucker for the PCB badges with challenge games built into them, but I fell in love with this and it was my favorite to wear around the con. Perhaps I’m anthropomorphizing? I checked out the associated website and it seems there are some crypto challenges waiting to be solved over there. Get to work.

DC801

Look on the back of the DC801 Sheep badge and you’ll spot the familiar Rigado module that drives it and links it to the unified botnet game spanning many of the badges and Bluetooth greetings that talk back and forth. In addition, the firmware broadcasts username and then play a game of contagion.

[@rushan_ee] has been developing the board. The prototype boards carried by the core developers have “God” mode that can make clients go in and out of party mode. In total, they built 290 boards plus the 10 prototypes. Presales were coordinated through 801labs hackerspace in Salt Lake City. This is the second year Rushan has led the design and 5 years total for the hackerspace.

Octopus Badge for Bsides Vancouver

The Octopus badge was built for Bsides Vancouver a few months back. [Jake King] made a total of 120 for Bsides Vancouver. It is driven by an ATtiny85 with blue LEDs on four of the eight tentacles. There are two WS2812 modules for the eyes but [Jake] usually leaves them off because they drain the coin cell battery really quickly. You can get your hands on the design files on his blog.

Ides of DEF CON

I think the Ides of DEF CON badge was one of the other top three most popular badges. It was inherently a multiplayer badge, letting you discover and battle other badge owners wirelessly in a video role-playing game. You could walk around the con and see people sitting around glued to these badges like a Game Boy.

Thursday night was the first night everyone was getting together and when we ran into [Zapp] from the AND!XOR crew he was already topped out in level, and XP. The firmware wasn’t read protected (like the AND!XOR firmware) and so [Zapp] dump and disassembled it to artificially boost his player ranking. It’s an instant classic.

You can read about the dev process on the Ides of DEF CON project page. They had a very successful Kickstarter earlier in the summer.

Team Bazooka Badge

This badge was introduced to me as the only badge with a Vacuum Fluorescent Display on it. The VFD is an HD44780 addressable character display. Powering it is a 18650 cell in a battery holder. This is becoming an incredibly popular setup for badges and other custom hardware. You can check out the design, which is based around an ATmega382, on the Team Bazooka repo. This is an ultra-rare badge — so far there’s only one.

Hardware Warehouse

We also took a close look at the Hacker Warehouse badge before the con. It has an ESP8266 laid out right on the board rather than opting to solder on a castellated module. The badge is a built as a WiFi testing unit, leveraging the ESP chip’s flexibility in that realm to scan for AP, listen to packets, and even spew deauth packets. I don’t think there was too much mayhem cause on that front this year.

One of the really cool things that went along with the Hacker Warehouse badge is that they shared their space in the vendor area with other Badgelife folks. This provided an area for people who had acquired any of the badges shown off in this article a place and time to meet up with the badge creators themselves. Neat!

It’s worth noting that this was the first hardware endeavor for Hacker Warehouse which has focused on offensive security up to this point.

DC503

The DC503 throws503.party. Thank you to [Joe Fitz] for letting us crash it. The party is privately financed and supporting these badges is one way to get yourself into the party. [Joe] is behind this badge, as well as the bicycle design we saw at DC23.

One hundred of these badges were made through the effort of four team members and with the labor-saver of professional assembly. You can see the Rigado familiar rigado module on the back, and the coin cell that powers the badge. I really enjoyed seeing the lanyard, which is a USB-to-Serial cable. You are literally wear what you need to hack it around your neck. The badge hacking contest was judged in the suite at Caesar’s during the 503 party.

SecKC Badge

SecKC is the Kansas City infosec meetup. They wanted the badge to be a devboard and based it around an NRF module from Sparkfun. So far they’ve seen numerous hacks on the design, the best of which turned it into a cellphone with a rotary dial.

The crew had a preorder of 50 boards and ended up building 60. There was demand for more but they couldn’t get the boards fast enough so they made the acrylic badges we mentioned earlier in this article.

Puffy Badge

The puffy badge is another that we had an in-depth look at before the con. Shaped like a puffer fish, the badge is based on a router chipset module that was sourced from “some dude in China”. Searching for router chips that could run linux, 40 of the modules were ordered for the project. More details about the development process are available on the website.

Megabling and Derbycon Black Badge

Some people feel like they need to answer the question “How bright can a conference badge really be?”. [Blenster] answered this with a huge triangle badge powered by six 18650 Lithium cells. Look at the power regulation on the back of that thing!

Not to be outdone (by himself), [Blenster] was also sporting a DerbyCon 2016 Black badge which he designed and built himself. Those LEDs have a tiny pitch and he hand-placed and hand soldered with an iron — incredible.

Dragonfly Badge

The Dragonfly Badge was featured on Hackaday before the con. It’s primarily a blinky badge, but put more than one of them within sight of each other and they’ll sync up their flashing. One of the really nice touches is the aesthetic of the IR receiver on the tail.

106 of these were built but only 85 were fully functional on Thursday night. In true hacker fashion, the rest were being reworked in the hotel room. I saw a ton of these around the con so I suspect the rework effort was worth it!

Crypto and Privacy Village Badge

The Crypto and Privacy Village badge was one of the most gorgeous pieces of hardware on hand. The team went all out, even delivering the badge in beautiful matte black boxes with guilded lettering and a magnetic closure. The lanyardware have a cypher on them, the back of the badge has a cypher on it. There were PCB keys, ornately cut in interesting shapes. The badge is based on the WROOM32 (ESP32) moduel. It drives a backlit display with a rotary encoder on the front and a few capacitive touch sensors. The package included earbuds; the badge has a headphone jack and was set up to stream DEF CON radio all weekend. That’s a feature of a different color and quite fun!

Plugging into the badge you were greeted with MicroPython for you own badge hacking. On the wireless side, it finds other badges. I couldn’t get confirmation for sure but I heard that these were putting backdoors into the Bender on a Bender badge. Yes, it’s wireless badge warfare out there, friends. These boards were selling for $120 in the Crypto Village. When they sold out the team was trying to get the nonfunctional badges working but would sell to enterprising hardware hackers for $50 upon request.

Bsides San Francisco Badge / Life’s A Breach

[bon] and [redacted], the team behind the Bsides SF badge, came out with two badges this year. Their ‘official’ badge is being pitched as a ‘body camera badge’ for their conference in February. Their second badge is quite literally the best 3D printing work we’ve ever seen.

The Life’s A Breach / Tiki badge is more or less what you would expect from a conference badge — there are blinky bits, batteries, and some nice silkscreen art on a PCB. This gets dialed up to twelve when the 3D printed parts are added. The plastic parts on the Tiki badge are snap fit, with plastic bosses for holes on the badge, tiny ledges to clasp the PCB firmly, and a bit of vellum used as a diffusor for the eyes. We’ve been around the block with 3D printing, and we’ve never seen anything that marries milled PCBs and printed parts this well. We’re literally begging the Tiki crew for a write-up on how they managed to do their plastic parts.

1Bitsy 1UP

  The 1Bitsy 1UP badge should be an incredibly familiar form factor. It’s shaped just like a Game Boy, but with an extra set of right-hand buttons like on the old SNES controllers. With a beautiful color display and audio, this is the portable gaming experience you remember, but hanging around your neck as a conference badge.

The dev board on the front is the 1Bitsy. This was given out to all attendees at the Open Hardware Summit last October. Mine is still on my desk waiting for some love and this is the type of demo I needed to get really excited about it. At the con, [Piotr Esden-Tempski] was running a custom game he wrote for it and the thing is super fast. The pattern demonstration shown here is running at 80 FPS and this is without a framebuffer. It’s the STM32F4 banging 8 bits into the ILI9325 display using DMA that makes this possible. On the back you’ll find an 18650 for power, along with a battery minding circuit and an SD cards slot. We can’t wait to bump into [Piotr] at he next live event to see what’s been a added to the part of the board marked:

Here be dragons. Well, not at the very moment, but soon, I promise! Just wait for it. :D

Red’s LoRa Badge

I missed syncing up with him at the meetup but later ran into [Red] in the Chill Room. He has been doing the hardware badges for SkyDogCon and built a special badge just for DC25. It is sniffing LoRa packets and displaying them on two screens. He wrote the firmware on the plane. The platform is meant for development so plenty of room to grow here. It has a multitude of switches, both momentary press and DIP, which are controlled by the Propeller chip that runs the board. For connectivity there is the LoRa module and an ESP8266.

There’s actually a really cool concept at work here. He sets up a server in his room in a different hotel as the Internet gateway. The badge phones home on LoRa, which has great range, eliminating the need to navigate the shady WiFi options during the con.

Quadcopter Badge

This badge is a lot of things in one. Primarily it’s a quadcopter complete with a badge-based remote control. [Brian] covered it in depth before the con and we were so excited to receive this badge kit at our Breakfast at DEF CON meetup.

Weight was carefully considered during the development process. But for some reason the thing just wouldn’t get off the ground after everything was assembled. For this reason, there are two versions of the skull badge, one that flies and one that bling. You can see the add-on board for prototyping which is mean to look like a pirate’s bandanna, and in the upper left you can see the dual-stick controller complete with a buzzer and screen.

The greatest year of electronic conference badges yet

Badgelife is truly amazing. Should you give it a try? Yes, but not for the money. This is an art and not a business endeavor. There is no badge competition between makers, there is only a willingness to celebrate the effort and ingenuity to that go into every badge, whether it be a blinking LED or a networked multiplayer game. This is what drives the developers and what makes the badges themselves such a hot commodity at the conference.

This was the greatest year of badgelife yet, and we can’t wait to see what everyone will come up with by next year.
