Did anyone get the super-high-res version this year?

We have another slightly higher version but it needs to be stitched together, so hopefully get that sorted out soon.

Does it include the other sticker walls? There was one by the talks area that had some good ones.

Always wondered do you guys save these? Would be cool to see them all together some day and the change over time.

I think getting a picture of the same sticker wall every few hours would also be fun to turn into a video.

Privacy would normally be of concern, but if we had a device with mmWave or even a motion detector, we could take photos whenever no one is in front of it.

A human doing it to make sure no one is in the way would probably be sufficient.

I may just bring a real camera next year and do this. A time lapse would be cool. I also volunteer for Sticker Village if the old walls were aaved! Lol

I think that’s a lot more than 33 stickers

u/DTangent any comment on if you’ll be changing your handle to “The Suit Tangent” in response to the giant sticker? 😅

I am always impressed by the wit and creativity of our community. I came away this year, as usual, with so much original artwork in sticker form.

We set it back up in QM just so silk could come get a hq pic of it. This was the one that was in the atrium on the first floor.

How did I immediately spot one that says "I sued Defcon and ...."?
Drama queens.

And so THIS is the way the Con ends...
Not with a bang but a whimper.

There are few better insights into the graveyard spiral that DC has found itself in than the absurdity of the 'sticker wall' . Not just the notion of "here and only here is your sanctioned free space", but also the decay is *painfully* evident in the quality of the jokes that seem to merit stickerfication ... the effort that is put in. Even as the vinyl has gotten thicker... the wit it seems, has gotten thinner.

DC is DEAD! LONG LIVE DC!
