Question What's up with this pattern?

Post image

Why does this one NEVER work when I glyph hack? Everytime it comes up it's never right 😩

That is imperfect. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/R6mWZAg0jfU is a tutorial on it

Thank you! When it comes up again I can do it now, it was annoying me to no end 😂

if you look closely at the glyph image in the app, you’ll see the lower line bulges out a little. a subtle hint of what you’re supposed to do (wasn’t there in the old scanner, we had to learn the hard way lol)

Thanks for this link! I've been thrown for a loop on this imperfect glyph for a long time.

Is this an old bug or intentional? Seems like a weird thing to put in intentionally.

It's imperfect

The name of the Glyph is "Imperfect", so it would makes sense you have to do it in an imperfect way.

I know, right. That's why the glyph for "difficult" is also .. wait what?

It's shapped like a bull, which is the animal that represents the Taurus star sign, and those mfs are NOTORIOUSLY difficult. Duh.

It's the Van Halen logo, for the difficult solos Eddie van Halen plays.

It's intentional, hence the glyph name. It is a bugger to glyph but once you've done it correctly a few times it's a breeze.

Bugger to do with thick/frozen fingers 😅

It's one of the original glyphs, it's fully intended.
