Happy cake day!

Anyone solved the first part yet? I'm getting an error even though I checked it twice, it could just be me though. Just wondering if it is solvable.
Edit: I went back to make sure I had everything right and now I have more than one error. I think it might be time to start over :(
Edit 2: Fixed the extra mistake I made, now back down to just the one.
Edit 3: The error is still in the puzzle, but I think I solved how to correct it and now on to figuring out what to do next. Maybe that was meant to be part of the puzzle. You should leave it in to be more evil since it is solvable :)
Edit 4: Stuck, think it is time for a break.
Edit 5: Solved :)

I think I am same as you. I have everything decoded except for one thing which does not match the others.

Happy Cake Day, samusx, and good luck on your further studies! :)
That puzzle though ..

Thanks for the puzzle and GAs.
Are you sure there is no mistake? I was able to decode all but one character which is not valid.

I have the same problem, checked it 3 times. Pretty sure it is a mistake.
Edit: Looks like we both responded to eachother at the same time :)

I have not solved the puzzle yet, but if you didn't notice, you should be able to fix the error and continue the puzzle. There is only 1 way that it can be fixed to make it fit. Hopefully this wasn't meant to be part of the puzzle and this isn't considered a hint.

There is more than one possible way to "fix" it, it all depends on what type of error was made, but yes, I have made an assumption that I think is correct. In any case there are only a small set of values that it can be...
Comment has been collapsed.
I was assuming that the smallest error was made, which I believe only leaves one possibility.

Yes, that is my assumption too, but you know what happens when you assume... :-)
Comment has been collapsed.
You solve the puzzle with your assumption which proves that it was right :)

That assumes you can figure out the next part of the puzzle...

No idea what to do. About to take a break and get some brain food, I haven't eaten anything yet today. Maybe something will click.

Something clicked and I feel like I got it, but nothing I try works :(

I removed it, thought it was obscure enough, but maybe not...

Solved. Had to brute force one that I couldn't figure out. I still don't know how it fits :)
Comment has been collapsed.
You are not clueless, you already solved it, you probably just messed up somewhere. That is why I had to brute force one part, because I messed up but for some reason didn't think to go back and check it again. I went back after solving and double checked the part that didn't make sense and I found out that I made a mistake.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I don't know how to get what I need from what I have. Even brute forcing a part makes no sense to me since I don't know any of the other parts for sure.
EDIT: I figured it out...
Comment has been collapsed.
With my mistake, I was pretty positive on all the parts except for one that seemed to not fit at all. I should of just rechecked that part since it was so different and didn't fit, but for some reason I didn't think of that and just went straight to brute force.

Part that seems daunting is actually pretty easy with some creative use of Python (googling question on stackoverflow and using online python shell).
But... I actually have no idea what to do with the result :P

C'mon man, give it a try! Can i suggest an interesting reading on the subject? :3

I was able to take a small baby step after reading the guide but now I'm lost again (﹏ _ ﹏)
Thank you for guiding me in the right direction though! ♡

You're welcome, I'm always glad to help new solvers! ^^

I was SURE I had it! I got a few things which looked like a GA codes, but neither of them worked. Checking the thing you linked I'm still not able to move on (even though the thing looks like only one of the things in the guide...), but at least I'm sure that a method I used was wrong since it's not listed in this guide. I think I'll be even more evil ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) than you and make my own puzzle sometime in the future, which will look the same as your first step, but will have a completely different solution method.
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe you should not look for a GA code yet, maybe there are more passages then you thought of ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Anyway, prompting someone else to make a puzzle of his own is one of the greatest joy for a puzzler so thank you pietruszka! :D

Hellow guuuuuuuuuuys :3
Some of you might remember me, some of you might remember my puzzles, some of you might not remember neither me or my puzzles. But anyway what can I say? A second year since my registration on SG has just passed, and I'm very proud of you guys, both the users and the staff, and thank you CG for having created and supported this awesome community through the years. Unfortunately I've been quite absent in the last months because of my uni studies that take most of my time and probably this situation will go on for many months more. I've missed a lot of changes as I can see from my stealthy and rare sneak-peeking and a lot (a very huge lot) of activity on the forum...But I didn't want to totally ignore my cakeday exactly because I love you! <3 I couldn't manage to complete my master evil puzzle designed for this cakeday so I'll give you just a smaller puzzle to wait for the real, big, marvellous and evil ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) one.
Thank you thank you thank you thank youuuu!!!
The GAs are for different games, some crappy, some good, some very good
As always, I'll try to answer everyone of you but I'll probably be unavailable most of the time since I'm still on vacation
Of course, don't discuss the solution or share hints, in order not to waste my time spent on the puzzle and the fun of solvers
You'll have 7 days, meaning that the clock stops on January, 11
