Quest One

Sun, 16 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Grass

Trapped in the ever evolving dystopian hellscape of the internet you could use a break. I’d say touch grass but that could be scary, so for this quest take a photo of anything green.

Don’t spend too much time offline or the AI might pass you by.

Quest Three

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Goliath

Humanity has loved stories of conflict between different sized opponents. David vs. Goliath, Odysseus vs Polyphemus, a reddit mod vs a shower.

For this quest take a picture of something tiny next to something large.

♣

It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.

Quest Four

Thu, 13 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Spiral

When we don’t understand the world we seek patterns. For this quest you must take a picture of any pattern that repeats at least five times.

♦

“
There are only patterns, patterns on top of patterns, patterns that affect other patterns. Patterns hidden by patterns. Patterns within patterns.If you watch close, history does nothing but repeat itself.What we call chaos is just patterns we haven’t recognized. What we call random is just patterns we can’t decipher. what we can’t understand we call nonsense. What we can’t read we call gibberish.There is no free will.There are no variables.

Quest Five

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Reflection

I saved the hardest for last (because I’ll be happy if you complete it or if you fail it). This quest is simple. You have to take a photo of yourself with a genuine smile.

♣

Embarrasment is an underexplored emotion. Go out there and make a fool of yourself.
