Last post by cubelily - Jan 09, 2026, 02:34 PMsince the others posted some music, ill share one of my all time favourites. criminally underloved so i give it the love it deserves ^ .^
I remember finding this as an mp3 on an old hard drive, and was really glad to see this internet still had an online version of it! And in case this link dies, it's Not Okay by Permanent Dog Pawprint Dirt Stain (aka Alba Rose) ft. Radio-Baby-Victim

Last post by yeebus - Jan 09, 2026, 12:20 PMwow... this is absolutely amazing!! i guess we should start building the hall of fame page on yam finally lol. well let you know when it's up in a few weeks(?)
honestly you are not the first to spend an hour or more with code monkey, hes an alluring guy
im assuming you did the same code cracking with the back cover of volume 2 then? hehehe...
and seeing that printed is wonderful! we did actually make some prints of the full magazines and maybe in the far future we plan to be able to sell some or at least distribute some around. no primises, but I think wed all enjoy that.
anyways thanks for the kind words! stuff like this really helps keep us all going!!

General Discussion / Hows the weather been?
Last post by Asaklair - Jan 09, 2026, 06:49 AMUsers Playground is fresh out of the oven so all of our boards are empty. Lets get something going here in general to make it easier for new users to interact. How has the weather been treating you? It has been going between warm some weeks and extremely cold the next where I am at. Some pretty heavy rain is in the forecast too in my area this weekend.

YAM / Re: YAMUM Vol. 2!
Last post by Asaklair - Jan 09, 2026, 06:42 AMoh my goodness this is awesome! Thank you for the very kind words about what we are doing here and also congrats on being the first to crack the code and post about it! Of course, as you know, the forum was supposed to be up ever since the release of the second volume but pretty bad errors got in the way lol. It feels good being at the start of a new year and having this place rolling again. I think it will be a good year for all of us. Yeebus is gonna love your little journey with code monkey, we have had quite a few people experience similar incidents 
Also, seeing that poster on your wall is incredibly meaningful that a small project like this would even have a single person interested enough to go out and print a poster. I appreciate you! I hope you have a good time here on users playground as we start this early process of getting more people over here. I am gonna knock on wood after typing this, but it seems to be in good shape this time.

YAM / YAMUM Vol. 2!
Last post by Troid41 - Jan 09, 2026, 06:34 AMI may or may not have been waiting to post this ever since YAMUM's second volume launched, because... I found your secret
Right after the table of contents, there is a wall of binary:
It translates to "be the first to post this secret on usersplayground.com forums to be in the hall of fame". So you can guess why I was in such a hurry to post about it, so I could claim the spot.
The Japanese text revealed a secret I already knew, but I still went to the code monkey just in case you guys added something, and ended up going on probably one of the most pointless side-quests I've done
Basically when I clicked on Asaklair's corner head icon thingy, the gif that appeared on Code Monkey's thought bubble looked like a QR code, and for some reason I immediately thought this was all part of a bigger puzzle. But before I could take a screenshot, the bubble disappeared. And what did I do? The logical thing of course! I inspected the page, and found where you linked the GIFs and WEBP files, hoping to find a list. Which I didn't. What did I do? The logical thing of course! I spent more than an hour clicking on the code monkey, seeing every different GIF until I finally found the "QR Code". Only to find out that it was just noise... I am truly devastated by this discovery.
Here's what I found while taking on this dumb quest:
Funny code monkey
Creepy Asaklair(?)
This one was just titled "Monster"
And finally, the "QR Code" that started it all:
Overall, this was a really cool volume of YAMUM! Read it like 5 or so times, because I obviously had to drag my friends to read it through with me. And because the cover this time was really sick, I just had to go to my local printer shop and get it as a poster
This whole project is amazing and truly inspiring, from the main website, to this forum and even the WKBR MechNet Radio! It really makes you want to go out and create as well, no matter what. I am always surprised that this whole thing isn't more known for some reason, but who knows, maybe this will be yall's year. Because it'd be really cool if others saw this sick ass beacon of inspiration

Music / Favorite OSTs
Last post by Asaklair - Jan 09, 2026, 06:25 AMI've been finding a bunch of games and shows recently that have absolutely killer soundtracks. What media do you like the OST from? Recently I have been enjoying the songs from the Higurashi games and keep getting blown away by different songs from the show Chobits. I'll link a super good song from Chobits below...
