A few questions about the paint (QR Codes)
Just a few things i've been wondering. If anyone knows the answers, i'd appreciate them.
I'll post here myself too if i find out anything.
1. If you paint your message next to one of the in-built game QR codes (not ones done by a fried), would they interact with those QR codes in any way?
2. Would they interact with a friend's QR code if you painted your own next to it?
3. Is it possible to paint over a friend's QR code?
4. If you missed a paint bucket in one area (and haven't painted a message there yet) will it respawn when you come back?
5. Does the game store your painted QR codes? If you restarted the game, would you see your own codes from the previous run? If so, would you be able to paint an additional message in a level where there was already a QR code from a previous playthrough? Would there be a limit to how many times this could be done?
6. If you play your cards right, ( and this involves choices throughout the game ) you can apparently get additional QR codes to communicate with other players. Does anyone know what they are? Does anyone have a link to the full list?

1: Nope, yours is just placed next to it.

2: Nope, yours is just placed next to it.

3: Answered above (I haven't tested it myself.)

4: Yes, with an asterisk: sometimes the paint buckets don't spawn. I have had a few areas where the paint simply was not there, until I came back another time. But if you haven't painted a message in an area, you should get a paint bucket eventually.

5: The game does store most codes, but not all. You can paint an additional message on subsequent playthroughs, but I suspect that there is a limit. I have played through a few times now, and one QR code that I know I left is missing. That makes me suspect that there is a limit, perhaps two per person? But I do not feel like playing through yet again (and risk losing more of the messages I've left) just to test that.

6: No idea. New options appear as you play, but that is all I know.

I remember when i put a QR code from long ago in the game, at a place i was at once before i took a big break for years in the game, then came back and read my text around 2015 and solved that puzzle place i had left for later. Invoked a bit of nostalgy since i'd forgotten about the QR thing completedly (epic thread necro btw) xD
