+<p>Recall ch7 pg27. The version of Skullfuck that hit Shitparade has Right Living nonsense inside its code, but<br />
+it&#8217;s not the original code. So I think we are looking for someone who would be both 1) associated with New Beginnings Drug Rehabilitation Services and 2) competent enough to modify the code.<br />
+It does not make sense to me that this would be Eve, among other reasons because she should have known what Skullfuck was and refused to be involved in modifying it. I would be surprised if it was this dude, since he&#8217;s old (in a world where this tech is new), but I could be wrong, and even if it&#8217;s not him it could mean he knows something.</p>
+<p>The other mystery is how this version, with (at least) 2 different contributing authors, came to be.<br />
+It&#8217;s fucked up, but suppose somebody at New Beginnings found Skullfuck and got the idea to rehabilitate it as _forcible_ therapeutic intervention. Skullfuck is malware, but before that it&#8217;s code that the user can&#8217;t interfere with. Literally it has the potential to brainwash somebody. Which could be attractive to an ethically flexible therapist. Just run the code on their brain and _make_ them stop wanting to do drugs!</p>
+<p>Of course whether they knew how to make the code _actually do that_ is a different question. It clearly doesn&#8217;t.<br />
+Maybe this guy is clever enough to figure out how to modify code but delusional enough to think that inserting text strings will be enough to make it have that effect?</p>

+<p>Happy (belated!) 2019, everyone. Cryo here! (or..Mary, seeing how I&#8217;ve totally deanonymised myself on social media lately.</p>
+<p>I realised this website&#8217;s been quiet for a while now so I figured I&#8217;d give you an update of all the things in case you don&#8217;t follow our ramblings on social media.</p>
+<p>Drugs &amp; Wires has been updating on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/drugsandwires">Patreon</a> for the past few weeks &#8211; I felt like it&#8217;s best to build a buffer for public updates going forward. The good news is that public updates will resume this Wednesday, 23rd Jan &#8211; but if you just can&#8217;t wait you can read the first 3 pages on Patreon for just $3. I&#8217;ve also had to switch my streams to patreon-only to avoid spoilers, those are available to all patrons!</p>
+<p>We still have an active <a href="https://discordapp.com/invite/paN3Wu5">Discord </a>with open access and a welcoming community for all as well as an exclusive #patreon channel where I post WIPs for patrons and other things sometimes. (if you scroll far enough you might even find some extremely secret pre-2012 art of what would eventually become Dan and Lin)</p>
+<p>All physical Kickstarter rewards went out back in October 2018, and digital goodies dropped in November. Please get in touch if you&#8217;re a backer and haven&#8217;t received your package so we can sort something out! So far we&#8217;ve only had a couple of packages returning or missing. KS fulfillment was a ton of work for us both, but seeing the items drop was so satisfying. Thanks to all of you who supported the campaign! &lt;3 I don&#8217;t think I ever want to burn another floppy, though.</p>

+<p>If you missed the Kickstarter and would like to buy the book, it&#8217;s available in<a href="https://www.hellovoid.online/"> my new store</a>!  I&#8217;ve also got some other merch available too, though most Kickstarter stuff is very limited edition and as I&#8217;m typing this there&#8217;s only 2 Wirehead shirts left.</p>
+<p>Regarding convention appearances: I managed to get a trading table at<a href="https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/dublin-comic-con-2019-spring-edition-tickets-50038407223"> Dublin Comic Con </a>this March! Nothing else confirmed so far. Now that I live in Ireland travelling for UK cons is gonna be a bit more of a challenge!</p>
+<p>Lastly I wanted to apologise for the mess that 2018 was for updates, it&#8217;s all on me. I went back to full time work last year and between that, Kickstarter prep and a cross country move it&#8217;s been hard to keep my schedule and brain stable! Thankfully things are looking better now &#8211; for the time being I&#8217;m back on freelance so I&#8217;ve been doing colouring for <a href="https://twitter.com/Casparnova/status/1062770944102592513">Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt</a> with the <a href="https://twitter.com/Casparnova">best</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/kierongillen">team</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/HassanOE">ever</a>, getting my new merch brand Hello Void off the ground (I liked designing KS merch so much I decided I don&#8217;t want to stop) and also trying to get Drugs &amp; Wires back on track.</p>
+<p>Anyway, thanks for reading and sticking with us! Here&#8217;s to many more pages in 2019.</p>

+<p>If you&#8217;re reading Drugs &amp; Wires regularly, you might have noticed that our updates have been a bit all over the place lately &#8211; and I apologise for that! A couple of months ago I had to go back to working full-time  and readjusting to that has been challenging. In addition to that, I&#8217;m busy preparing the first issue of Blue Pill Arcade for London MCM and both me and Io are working on some extras and things for our upcoming Kickstarter! (more on that later)</p>
+<p>Anyway, it seems like June is going to be extremely busy for both work and personal reasons, so<strong> unfortunately I&#8217;m left with no other choice than to take a mini-hiatus and put D&amp;W on a break until July</strong>. We might update before then, but I can&#8217;t promise it&#8217;ll be regular. I&#8217;m very sorry about that &#8211; hopefully the stuff we&#8217;ll be working on in the meantime is gonna make up for that! I&#8217;ve also closed down our Tictail store until after MCM to help me keep track of stock.</p>
+<p>Speaking of Kickstarters &#8211; we&#8217;re planning on launching one for a collected edition of chapters 1-4. I&#8217;ve been slowly adapting it all for print and making rewards (BPA comic being one of them) and there&#8217;s still a lot of work to be done, but hopefully we&#8217;ll get there! If you&#8217;d like to know when it launches, <a href="https://forms.omnisrc.com/signup/v1/5aef8996597ed76bb7ba32f7_5aef8a0d597ed74e366b4ba4.html">sign up for our mailing list here</a>. (Your email might already be on there if you&#8217;ve bought stuff from the Tictail store in the past) I promise I won&#8217;t spam you more than a couple times a year &#8211; it&#8217;s just a neat option for people who can&#8217;t keep up with my shitposting on social media!</p>
+<p>I&#8217;ll be documenting everything we do on the meantime on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/drugsandwires">Patreon</a> and Patreon-only Discord channel and hopefully giving people early glimpses of the pages when I do get to draw them.</p>
+<p>And finally, here&#8217;s a regular reminder that D&amp;W does have its own very active &amp; friendly <a href="https://discordapp.com/invite/paN3Wu5">Discord server </a>&#8211; so do have a look if you haven&#8217;t yet.</p>

+<p>Good news &#8211; after many months of writing scripts and thumbnails, Blue Pill Arcade is finally getting drawn! First 5 pages are already up on<a href="https://www.patreon.com/drugsandwires"> Patreon</a>.</p>
+<p>Blue Pill Arcade is a prequel set 2 years before the events of the main comic. While <a href="https://dreamspace.nfshost.com/">Dreamspace </a>(our original prequel series) focuses on Dan&#8217;s last moments in VR, BPA is all about the early days of Dreamspace and its users. Expect it to be a little more light-hearted than the main series (light-hearted by D&amp;W standards, anyway&#8230;)</p>
+<p>We&#8217;ll update the comic  in monthly installments of 6 to 8 pages (depending on Cryo&#8217;s workload) and keep it as a Patreon exclusive until the story is finished.  Once it&#8217;s done, we’ll see how to go about publishing it, but it&#8217;d most likely be available for purchase online.</p>
+<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s a sneak peak of people&#8217;s typical reaction to Fixer:</p>

+<p>If you&#8217;d rather pick it up from Cryoclaire in person, here&#8217;s a list of our convention appearances confirmed so far:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Em-con, Nottingham, 29-30th April</li>
+<li>TCAF, Toronto,  13-14th May (First time in Canada! Exciting times)</li>

+<li>Thought Bubble, Leeds, 23-24th September</li>
+<li>Nottingham Comic Con, Nottingham, 14th October.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Hope to see some of you there!<br />
+If you&#8217;re ever in Nottingham but can&#8217;t make it to the conventions, Drugs &amp; Wires is now stocked at thte Page45 comic shop &#8211; they even said some nice things about us<a href="https//www.page45.com/store/Drugs-Wires-1.html"> in their review</a>!<br />
+We  got some very positive and in-depth review from <a href="http://loser-city.com/features/drugs-wires-is-a-clever-and-flashy-cyberpunk-alt-history">Loser-City </a>and got to be a Pick Of The Week over at <a href="https://comicbookhour.com/threads/first-ever-pick-of-the-week.354/#post-2936">ComicBookHour</a> all in the past couple of weeks.<br />
+And since I&#8217;m just showing off now, we also<a href="https://comicsalliance.com/cryoclaire-io-black-drugs-and-wires-interview/"> got interviewed</a> by Jon Erik Christianson over at Comics Alliance which was great. Sadly we&#8217;ve heard sad news of the website getting shut down &#8211; so go read the thing while it&#8217;s still available! There are many more interviews with indie/webcomic creators including our comic buddies <a href="http://comicsalliance.com/tags/rising-sand/">Rising Sand</a>.</p>
+<p>All in all it&#8217;s been a good year for D&amp;W so far and we can&#8217;t wait to come back with Chapter 4!  And with that I&#8217;ll stop typing and go get some actual work done. Eloquent news post is definitely more of Io&#8217;s thing.</p>
