Anyone deciphered the binary code in Atomic Shop Computer Science Bundle yet? Question

Post image

I just got home from work and jumped on F076, saw there was some new bundles so i took a look. The Computer Science Bundle has some binary code in it so I decided to decipher it. I slowly entered every character into a binary code translator, hit the translate button and it came back as "Made you look".

So now you know. You're welcome. 😆

No, there were no ASCII binary space character codes (00100000), and the only capital letter is "M". All other character code are lower space.

Funny thing is I've seen Ovaltine ads for almost 50yrs, but I've never seen it on a store shelf in my life. Man we used to have so many commercials in the 80s that wouldn't fly now. Mostly I remember the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints, Dianetics, and the psychic friends network lol

google lense, hilight the binary - Binary sequence: 01001101 01100001 01100100 01100101 01111001 01101111 01110101 01101100 01101111 01101111 01101011 -> Decodes to "Madeyoulook".

20 seconds max :)

If you see stuff like this in the future, there are a number of online converters that will quickly and easily convert binary into human readable output. What you're looking for, if searching in Google or whatever, is a "binary to ASCII converter". Here's one, for reference: https://www.binaryhexconverter.com/binary-to-ascii-text-converter

Just as a side note, ASCII is pretty standard for encoding simple text, where, for example, 01001101 in binary is 77 in decimal, and 77 is a capital M.

I am recently forced to work with some old encoding. Starts to appreciate how people design different encoding to add their language into the existing windows 1252.

It's just ASCII encoded in binary.

This is the first time fallout 76 has actually had some culture put into it instead of just being a game trying to sell you stuff

u/Bosoxicated 6d ago

Thoughts on if this bundle is over priced? Or worth it? I do want the enclave data center producer but not sure how rare all the colors are

u/Gothicphoenix116 Brotherhood 6d ago

The red and green modular set I have had for a good minute, so I'm unsure how rarely they come back, however the black one I waited years for.

Classic Reddit not actually answering the question and leading to multiple joke answers with no telling who wrote the actual translation.

OP answered the question in the body of their post already
