Forgot to post about it so here you are, my @dcgothcon.bsky.social art for this year. If you snagged an art badge or stickers, I would love to see. #badgelife #defcon ko-fi.com/i/IR1I62560WB

As we all get home and show off our hauls, we would love to be tagged if you snatched anything from us whether it’s blinky badges, art badges, or just some stickers, we love seeing your hauls and being excited with you.

We have a handful of #gothcon blinky badges that made it back from #defcon34. If you want one, they are now half price on the preorder store gothconbadge.myshopify.com! #defcon #badgelife

Last chance to order a #gothcon badge online before #defcon34! I'll ship the final group of pre-orders tomorrow, then all the rest get packed up to take to con (where they will almost certainly sell out.) gothconbadge.myshopify.com #badgelife #defcon

We're now only 10 days from #defcon34! Preorders for the #gothcon blinky badge remain up for the next few days, and ship Priority Mail within 1 day of any order. But keep in mind when you leave for DEF CON when deciding if you want to pre-order or just get one at the con! gothconbadge.myshopify.com

If you pre-ordered a Gothcon badge, there's a new firmware on github.com/claviger/got... that adds new LED patterns and features! If you didn't pre-order a Gothcon badge, you can do so on gothconbadge.myshopify.com until Monday, but after that you have to get it at con!

Video of the 2026 #Gothcon badge in action imgur.com/a/z90WSN9. There's still time to get one online before #defcon #defcon34! gothconbadge.myshopify.com We'll be doing badge drops at hotels and around LVCC as well! #badgelife

Peak #Gothcon @dcgothcon.bsky.social

For this year's Gothcon blinky badge, rather than the laser-cut ones of the past 3 years, we have an LED PCB badge! If you want a guarantee of getting one, presales are at gothconbadge.myshopify.com, but we'll also be selling them at DEF CON!

Well that came fast, still quite a few things I want to add before the site goes live at midnight if I can, but my Fourth Wall will officially be up tomorrow! I will have my channel emotes, and all the @dcgothcon.bsky.social designs up there on stickers and other fun things like mugs.

Eyyy! It’s #musicmonday! Whatcha listening to?

Solid idea GothCon folks

Thank you, everyone, for an amazing Gothcon 2025 party! All of the volunteers and folks behind the scenes, all of you are amazing and we couldn't make this happen without you. Also a big thank-you to Defcon parties for letting us do our thing, and all of you folks for showing up and having a blast!

If you lost your iPhone at GothCon we have turned it into DEF CON lost and found.
