easter-eggs

[rough hazel]

I have been looking back through T2 stuffs and with so many mentions of egg, yolk, gold + the "combind" message + the element stuffs, this might be interesting:
Lecithin is a binding agent between water and oil. It is found in egg yolks and also the main reason we use eggs as binding agent.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lecithin

[fresh spruce]

Has someone tried stun gun on the cannons? I tried linking Northern lights and nobel prize to something else, and the person who figured out how northern lights worked, also figured out how to fire a cannon using electricity. Might be a long shot, but maybe this hasn't been tried before.

[sweet void]

tried it, long with glitche nade

[alpine junco]

the moon on monaco just flshed twice for me

[sweet void]

ye I remember the moon is involved

[sweet void]

Do we know why loading screen music in las vegas changed ? Seems to be the band with the beast (poster)

[sand rune]

Someone said, season 2 start is at 7:00 Moscow time

You know if this tru?

[fresh spruce]

Check the in game timer, it's 14 or so hours left

[sand rune]

Okey okey

But that means the game will go into maintenance

[chilly bison]

yo i found like

a thing idk if it has anything to do with easter eggs

but i cant send images

[velvet narwhal]

Where/What did you find?

[chilly bison]

like

uk the portal thing from light?

i found a smthn that looks like that in vegas?

idk

[velvet narwhal]

You probably mean the glitch clusters we found. https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1212747235578609795 Check in this thread the pinned messages, those are the locations we know of

[chilly bison]

yeah

[velvet narwhal]

Haven't really found out what they are for and they'll probably disappear with S2

[chilly bison]

alr

[restive rivet]

I've been thinking about that hint about a constellation in Vegas, maybe it's relevant that there are stars on the coins of the finals? Could count as a constellation (maybe there's a vault in vegas? full of these 'constellations'? ik i'm reaching haha), also, i think it's been said already, but one of the casino's in vegas has a star symbol as a sign, maybe we should look there. And I don't know anything about the slot machines in the map (don't have time to look myself right now) but if a slot machine has star symbols or smth lined up, maybe that's a constellation? Wanted to get stuff out there :)

[glass ether]

i just saw some "glitching" on monacco on a building

yes that one

[glacial harness]

Hey friends I can't type in threads, how can i gain access? I've already "joined" a few but that doesn't seem to be enough

[hard forge]

you can still share your thoughts here

[vital compass]

I've been getting glitches in game today. Lots of large colorful beams and squares phazing through walls when there is a destruction. Anyone got something similar?

[thorny gorge]

Could scotty be part of cns?

Probably a stretch but in the s2 trailer when he says "we seem to be experiencing some technical difficulties, one things for certain though", and then the cns voice says "it should be fun"

Which makes me think they are implying that they are the same person

[fresh quiver]

you can also write in the main EE channel without any problems.
We just use threads to have some organization to not clutter the main chat too much

[quaint wing]

With CNS taking over the finals, there's bound to be bugs and glitches showing their heads as they attempt to hack the game!

[sharp flame]

Hey

Embark|Oscar is streaming a black screen on twitch

https://www.twitch.tv/embarkoscar

[fresh spruce]

Managed to capture something? Offline now

[alpine whale]

surely this is fake lol

[snow walrus]

No its not

[alpine whale]

whats the proof?

[snow walrus]

I've watched a stream earlier

He was playing a game with his friends but i dont remember well

[alpine whale]

damn

[wheat flame]

thought the same thing with that part of the trailer. I cant remember scotty saying that line in another context like it wouldve been cut from cns or sth. It seemed to be intentionally connected

[upper sonnet]

I dont know why I didnt realize this sooner but, any one else notice season 2 starts on Pi day? Ive seen a few Pi references in the EE's maybe relevant?

[fallen jasper]

Could be a new line. Unless CNS is the announcer on the new map?..

[bright ruin]

I’m hoping, as SYS$HORIZON takes place in the loading of the finals, the announcers cannot technically see CNS’ custom arena

CNS has been working on that arena under our noses this whole time and they’ve never been able to see it so far, nor has MultiCo

I think it’d be real cool to have a different announcer for this map

[upper sonnet]

I assumed CNS wants the finals to end... Why did they make a custom arena?

[bright ruin]

They never make comment or indication of wanting it to end. Their whole thing has been “change the game” and “seek the truth” etc
They have some ulterior motive

[upper sonnet]

I guess the finals doesnt technically harm people, maybe its more about revealing the truth and their 'hacked' map shows the truth about whats going on

EAT THE SPONSORS!

[bright ruin]

We don’t know that yet, we only see what happens in the virtual world. Never meat space

[upper sonnet]

Could you imagine throught a glitch nade and getting a glass pane to the meat space?

[bright ruin]

I’m hoping later Easter eggs start to point to the truth

[upper sonnet]

sorry not a glitch nade, whats that season 2 nade called?

[fresh quiver]

we dont't know yet if the announcers can see the arena or not.
Also i think is would be a more suitable discussion for #📕┇lore not easter eggs

[bright ruin]

Sure, but I’m not going into detail on it, I only hang in the EE chats

[muted badge]

what were the easter eggs in las vegas?

[sand rune]

Yow the finals dropped!

https://youtu.be/aTn7KPu9wgI?si=nHYKB6Ra5jj0k_iD

Rn!!!

Hahahaha I posted it before they did lmao

[upper sonnet]

bro you are quick

1 minute ago?

[hasty anvil]

wow the s2 menu background looks niiice

[solar sparrow]

new finals video about the custom games, Oscar mentions "today it's sledgehammer only let's tear las vegas apart" as an example for a private match... i wonder if this is an EE hint

[valid lichen]

oh no we need 6 people to start a private game

[solar sparrow]

mhm, there's lots of EE hunters tho, shouldn't be too difficult

[thorny gorge]

Damn fr?

Man

No 1v1v1 :(

[thorny gorge]

Exactly

If that is the case then s lies is referring to the ospuze ceo most likely

Which ties in to that lore vid where June was like "you actually drink those??" TO scotty

[alpine whale]

i reckon oscar pressed the stream button instead of the record button when recording the community update

[inland hemlock]

gotta organize eggscursions

[wise trout]

Private lobbies are going to make it a lot easier to hunt for Easter eggs without disturbing the other players.

Huge.

[upper sonnet]

When the finals logo disappears there is like 2 frames of what appears to be a room, cant make out much. is this the meat space?

it definitely has depth

Sorry its 1 frame

looks like the headset shut off?

[sand rune]

Maybe send a picture of it?

[upper sonnet]

cant send pictures yet

ill upload it to imgur

its blurry as shit because youtube compression

https://imgur.com/a/ntgecfJ

[wise trout]

I might be going out on a limb here I'm still going to check the video but they did not release the season 2 trailer on discord as a file so we can have the higher quality version to search for clues but this community update was released as a file we can download that is high quality. I really wish they would release a high quality version of the season 2 trailer.

[upper sonnet]

if you wanna see it in the video its 4:55 and go frame by frame. this is right after THE FINALS disappears

[wise trout]

Compression just kills it

[upper sonnet]

the problem is youtube compression, unless they upload the video directly to their website.

[wise trout]

I'm pretty sure they did it on purpose they understand the compression and releasing the file

[restive rivet]

is it just me or does it look like an arcade? with arcade machines on the right and a claw machine or something in the back?

[upper sonnet]

the more I look at it the more I am convinced it is a view through the headset when it turns off

[wise trout]

i do see the halo there that might be from a headset

there is also chromatic lens aberration around the finals logo and the setting sun at 4:53

its also glitching like its a stream

[upper sonnet]

the chromatic aberration may be just the art syle for the vaporwave theme.

[dusky elk]

wait, cns has always been in the background since s1

beginnings? I just saw the one night 3 dawns message in the s1 trailer

[fresh quiver]

CNS was already there due Closed or Open Beta iirc

ahh, I see now

Here are all the frames in the best available quality, extracted. I think some of those are better than pausing on yt, but I might be wrong. Easier to cycle through those, that's for sure.

[fresh quiver]

I skipped through all frames with VLC frame by frame feature.
Didnt found much things that could be interesting.

And as there are not many things hidden there.

Is this the one thats getting disabled?

[inland hemlock]

looks like a template transition to me tbh

[split scaffold]

Anyone noticed the description on Crows Memory skin for the R.357? “Let your opponents know that you never forget a face. And you hold a grudge.” I assume since this is tied to Ophelia, maybe she knows something we don’t. Maybe she has a grudge towards a figurehead or something

[mystic storm]

maybe the sprays will interact with the walls and reveal graffiti?

[fresh quiver]

@hasty anvil tagged that extra with the hope he might tell us if we are correct about our guess or not.
Especially he would maybe tell us that he means this EE because else it wouldnt be found EVER

[hard moss]

Another, simpler angle, would be this https://theconversation.com/never-cross-a-crow-it-will-remember-your-face-2121

[hasty anvil]

Yeah i realised what you were doing so i deleted that message haha

[fresh quiver]

ahhh. thats where the mention came from. was confused for a sec haha

[upper sonnet]

They are slightly different but show the same thing which points to it being a render and not just a static image they apply as an effect.

[inland hemlock]

it does?, i might have contracted stupid...

[split scaffold]

@hard moss fair, just curious as the crow comes right before Ophelia, she wears almost crow-esk wings, and it says she dances between illusion and the VR space

[paper scroll]

Wait it's like 5pm/ 1700 in Stockholm right now which is the HQ for embark so the countdown does reach the 14 and that means season 2 right?

[bright ruin]

Yes it's 5pm

Assuming MSoft and Sony greenlit their update they submitted, then yeah things should be on track/good to go

[paper scroll]

Me rn

[upper sonnet]

The new map is in this video, I think this is the clearest we have seen of it, should be analyized for EE's they may have accidentally run accross during play.

[plucky kettle]

yeah

[alpine junco]

why

[plucky kettle]

he told me he is friends with devs

@rob can we be friends?

[alpine junco]

but thats like

not fair?

Content Creators and publishers like IGN are given early access and recording sessions to release content

[alpine junco]

booooooooooo

release it at gamestop

like the good old days

I have a channel with like 5k that I have never posted on...

I might start uploading

yooo slorgs got early access too, love that fella

I won’t look any of those videos

That’s just hilarious

Destroys the whole vibe

People are showing off the whole battle pass and so on

Big L for that

[limpid crypt]

Has the shape that repeats itself in every frame of a glitch already been discussed? It looks a bit like a pixel monkey : https://imgur.com/a/CSZF0JC

[solid jay]

So I am digging through old clues and trying to find links to stuff.

I had previously suggested that the 20 krona note and crumpled paper behind it in the CDIV image made the shape of a skull.

I originally attempted to link this to Hamlet with Yorick's skull, but I didn't consider until now that it was possibly just a clue for calcium. As we received that image during T1E and the password ended up being calcium carbonate for that tier.

[dull marsh]

Oh wait wait wait, so now the tutorial is in a part of Monaco?!!

Roses... roses... roses.......

The ones in the practice range might only have been there as a "teaser" 🤔

[bright ruin]

That seems strange considering it seemed like Rob was insistent that something could be done with them now

[inland hemlock]

put em in the cannon

[dull marsh]

Maybe the roses are the real EE that's going away...

[toxic gulch]

I think the practice range is staying the same, they just updated the tutorial

[dull marsh]

Would make some sense

[cerulean dagger]

Let's just keep an eye out for Rob's hint a few hours before S2 drops. I would be pretty bummed if it was the rose EE to go away

[ebon heron]

Damn so in order for the custom game to start you need a full lobby (6 players)

[balmy shuttle]

It doesn’t affect Rob. And he didn’t say he would for sure give us a hint he said might #1204475718747029535 message

[inland hemlock]

yeh people kinda gave up and are waiting for the clue, but what if it doesn't come?

[dull marsh]

Then the EE will be gone forever

We are just pretty clueless, hence many are waiting to get more infos

[bright ruin]

Yeah, I don't see why Rob wouldn't give us a fair shot with 2 hours left to scramble. Then he can't say he didn't try to help us, but he's also not going to say what we missed out on and then we go back to bashing our heads into the wall over T3

[alpine junco]

i feel like this was a clue

same with this charm

[marble lance]

it will 🇽

[upper sonnet]

for all we know he has been giving us hints, I wouldn't expect it. Look closer. Best case if we dont solve it they could bring back this event in the future.

[bright ruin]

I dunno why we wouldn't expect it, he said he was getting soft, whether that had double meaning or not idk, but it definitely at least means that he is willing to provide us that clue at the 2 hour mark

I doubt they'd bring EE back, but I never played battle field so I dunno if it ever happened there, someone with experience is better oriented to weigh in on that

[dusk veldt]

#1204475718747029535 message

I wonder if he meant anything by this message

[bright ruin]

I've been wondering that too but I'm not entirely sure

I've been wondering if my interpretation of 5f137s2 isn't the position of the letters in gold egg, but rather, just telling us what he told us directly, the password is lowercase letters and numbers

[alpine junco]

the letter H

[high bolt]

cant post images but in the new video by rockhoundblack at 15:05 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1tfULWupts) they visit a room in the new map and it looks very much like a Cornell box which is used in graphics programming to test the accuracy of lighting effects (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornell_box), probably just a cute reference

[dusk veldt]

You can post through Imgur

[dusk veldt]

Where should i be looking?

[dusk veldt]

We already knew that no?

[tranquil barn]

Helipad

[bright ruin]

What do you mean?

The password 5f137s2 was discovered before rob directly telling us that it's all lowercase and numbers I believe (i'll double check)

I figured he may have been telling us because we failed to understand what it meant

hmm maybe it was the other way around after all, scratch my new theory then lol

He said that in october of 2022. Was that tier unlocked prior to that?

[alpine junco]

G6 H4

😁

[tranquil barn]

👀

[dusk veldt]

Is that skyway

[alpine junco]

seoul

[bleak wharf]

i believe it's the old one from old concept art

[dusk veldt]

Old, seen it in promos, maybe new in game?

[bleak wharf]

it can be reference to Mirror's Edge tho

[dusk veldt]

Maybe a room??

[bleak wharf]

Baggy pants, tshirt

[alpine junco]

never noticed it

nvm nvm

imma delete so it doesnt clog chat

[dusk veldt]

Couldnt it be a refference to a room in the hospital building or something?

[crimson niche]

We haven't made any progress on the question mark, right? I just can't get over how there's this weird reflection being cast in front of it when using the tion as a layer mask for ques

[alpine junco]

it is the helipad on seoul and rob said the helipad is there for a reason

[plucky kettle]

in the loading screen and in game it is facing a different direction

[dusk veldt]

Is it the same direction in the mini map and loading screen🤔

[bright ruin]

Does the wind change directions in game?

[plucky kettle]

no

this is the only helipad with a square around it

[alpine junco]

5 helipads and this is the only one

[velvet narwhal]

there's a mini map in the game!?

[dusk veldt]

Dude…

What

[marble lance]

interesting

[dusk veldt]

Now im confused, i dont remember hah

[velvet narwhal]

What do you mean with mini map?

[dusk veldt]

Yeah is there even one?

[marble lance]

first time I got support by a sniper 🧤

[bright ruin]

there's no mini map in game

[velvet narwhal]

I don't think so...

[bright ruin]

That's what makes the game great tbh

[dusk veldt]

Aspook is high, made me question my 300 in game hours(im an idiot)

[bright ruin]

He didn't mention a mini map though, you did

[dusk veldt]

Holy shit youre right im high

[hollow briar]

I found something interesting while looking at the connections of GOLD and EGG. Everything in game and the clues have some connection to computing. Au (gold) is a file format. EGG is also a file format

[bright ruin]

Wait that egg thing could be huge

it's a directory or zip that has the project's code and resources along with an EGG-INFO subdirectory with the projects metadata

Thefinals.nfo?

[hollow briar]

The .egg file is a distribution format for Python packages

[unborn pilot]

Tion has a shadow. That’s what you’re seeing when you layer them.

[mystic storm]

28-4-7 on the cannons

[crimson niche]

it's not just a shadow, though. it seems to cast onto the beveled edge of ques as well. Also I had to shift the mask and manipulate it to get it to line up right. 16px down, then add 6px to the leg, and move the dot down 4px

it also adds light rays to the black area of the image

it looks much more like bloom

[slim reef]

I found something in the Diamond clue besides the YMF292 thing that I don't know if anyone has seen or figured out yet... but I can't post images here lol

[distant bear]

On the things that are gonna disappear in season 2: the tutorial sequence seems to be completely new. Wasn't someone trying to crack something relating to it?

[dusk veldt]

Imgur

[bright ruin]

imgur or alternatives work

[bright ruin]

Correct, new tutorial. No, practice range is what we're trying to find an EE in with the roses

[distant bear]

Word, I just remember seeing some chart about the opposing teams colors in the tutorial vs how you put the cash box in

Might have been some old stuff

[bright ruin]

It was a theory that is more likely a bug

[slim reef]

The things where you throw the cash boxes pulse when you get all 4, also if you pull from the barrel or tank spawn things there is a maximum of 4 that will spawn. Something with the number 4? Max of 4 cash boxes too

[bright ruin]

So you aren't misremembering 🙂

[distant bear]

Ah, makes sense

[slim reef]

In the diamond clue gif, this pattern stays there for frames 4 through 6 while everything else is wiped away. Has anyone noticed this? Left side along the edge. I rotated the clip.

https://imgur.com/gallery/jz5mNFC

The blue line can be ignored. That's the edge of the clip on the editor

Max saturation, contrast and basically everything that can be turned up

[slim reef]

Here it is without any marks and more of it visible, you can see the line where it cuts off and doesn't wipe for frames 4 through 6.

https://imgur.com/gallery/wIxOB5p

[unborn pilot]

That’s because those frames aren’t the same width. They’re cropped but you probably still have other frames showing through underneath. There’s a list of all their sizes in the thread.

[slim reef]

So the gif is made of different sized frames?

[unborn pilot]

Yeah. But from what I recall it’s only a couple frames. I think 4-7 or something. Then they’re all normal again.

You can see it on the right edge as well

[slim reef]

Weird, Well poop.. lol less pronounced on the right but you are correct

[unborn pilot]

All good. I’m not sure we ever figured out what the different sizes mean so there’s def some mystery there

[slim reef]

I just feel like there is more there than the YMF code, and Rob said that clue was only 50% solved 🤔

Seems intentional when you watch that section up close but who knows

[solid jay]

There is certainly more there. We are aware that the version of the gif we have is a low res version

[unborn pilot]

There is. We found more numbers along the other diagonal

The hints make it sound like we need to piece together another url which hosts the high res version

[solid jay]

Hey ive been thinking, the new map was a glitched version of something else. What if it is Miami?? The new battle pass has alot of things themed to that

[marble lance]

I was thinking this, too: the inversion of monaco x seoul = skyway.

[solid jay]

The theme is retrowave and retro gaming

it's not a specific place

[bright ruin]

Yeah, pretty synonymous with giant sun, palm trees, classic, yet futuristic cars, etc.

[balmy shuttle]

Vaporwave just has that vibe.

Could be Miami in the 80s 😆

It does do that, the W certainly is funky looking, but it's a w based on the glitch text

[upper sonnet]

look at the orange part, its more clear its a W

yea, thank you Xyk

[bright ruin]

I do think that if that were a clue for the next level, that yes looking at the outlines and not the glitch text on that, it's not a W and reprisents something else. That's why it looks funky, to make the silhouette appear different

But, that's not for T3 so no point stressing it yet

https://medium.com/@mythopia/the-cosmic-egg-of-world-mythology-f70855b1a7fe#:~:text=The Hindu scripture%2C there is,egg and creation took place.

[bright ruin]

Yes one of our themes is space

[slim reef]

" The Hindu scripture, there is a story primordial maternal waters of the pre-creation, which desired to reproduce. Through a series of prolonged rituals, the waters became so hot that they gave birth to a golden egg. Eventually, the creator, Prajapati, emerged from the egg and creation took place. "

[bright ruin]

Ab ovo being Latin in reference to the beginning. And reference to one of the twin eggs

(From which Helen and Troy were born)

So that’s to say, no not a stretch 🙂 you’re thinking along the right lines

[civic herald]

Did we get the rob hint for the Easter eggs that's about to go away?

[stuck basalt]

Has anyone looked into the restaurang La Fine Bouche in the Smoking Guns Event? Can't find anything about it. It already feels like an EE with western doors, a special song playing, boots, hat outside etc.

[bright ruin]

Yes we’re in #1216788595373899877 But you have to tank up to post

[bright ruin]

I did. First result of google. Just a couple restaurants in France

That’s as deep as I looked

[civic herald]

I checked in the thread but I can't seem to find the actual two hours remaining hint he gave?

[bright ruin]

He just gave it

You’ll have to scroll up. I’d link it but I’m on my phone atm

[upper sonnet]

he said in the off topic channel yesterday that he 'may give us a hint with 2 hours left'

[sand rune]

there is 45 min left lmao

[bright ruin]

sigh #1216788595373899877

[dusk veldt]

ROB IS IN THE THREAD LOCK IN PEOPLE 2 HOURS LEFT AND WE COULD GET A REWARD

[hard forge]

30 mins left

[fresh spruce]

Does the cannon smoke move in a specific direction, or does it depend on the weather/wind etc?
Maybe it's different for each cannon? (sorr, can't post in the thread)

[turbid tinsel]

just a thought, but rob said every tier can be solved with the first image, is that for the first image of each level? and if so is it we may need to overlay following images over it? wheter its all of them or 1 by 1 by chance?

based on this if it get easier and easier after every image is provided after the first, kinda makes me think every image needs to be combined

[bright ruin]

I thought about that too and wasn't sure. I think he meant you can solve them with the very first image of the level? Which in this case is technically... the easter egg nama tama yeah? (Like the very first image to show up related to this tier was that one)

[turbid tinsel]

i thought the first image was 05 concept fire?

[bright ruin]

That was the first tier image

Not the first image leading to the tier, that was NamaTama with Magnifying Glass that's painted as an Easter Egg

I believe it was between the completion of level 1 and waiting for level 2

That's what has me confused about what the "first image" is

[turbid tinsel]

@proud minnow when free and not busy with new season stuff. is it possible to elaborate on this slightly if it is at all possible without telling us to much by chance?

OH yeah your message made no sense here btw. I think you misread what I said #1216788595373899877 message

[dusk veldt]

100% it is purposeful, its Rob

[bright ruin]

Most likely yeah

[dusk veldt]

He also made sure we looked

He waited up and everything

[glacial harness]

Forgive me if this is something pointless or already known but I’ve tried my hand at #1203859365610922036 today. It strikes me as odd that there is a dummy next to the roses facing forwards, if you follow where he’s facing you’ll end up at another dummy looking at the screen. There’s another random dummy circling the building. Now I’ve demolished the screen (and walked from dummy to dummy with a rose) and I saw a faint red glow akin to wallhacks or recon sense which was seemingly a chair or an object behind it. Which sounds insane but it was there. I haven’t reproduced it yet and I’ll send a screenshot tomorrow. Excuse me if this is completely asinine. I’m slowly going mad it seems :)

[bright ruin]

We all are, it's okay

[coarse dagger]

Just to be clear, some image editors cut out repeat pixels from frames, while others do not. "Different size frames" means some data is being reused from the previous frame.

[hasty anvil]

So is it S1 menu EE and cannons EE we are out of time for?

[bright ruin]

no, glitches was the 2nd ee

s1 menu was only mentioned 20 min go

[hasty anvil]

Yeah, so S1 menu won't be in S2 lol

[bright ruin]

Correct, that is something else, but it was not the hidden easter egg we were hunting for, and it's not the glitches

[coarse dagger]

Yea, I think @dull marsh pointed that out in the linked thread slightly below

did a screen shot in the inspect mode, acts like there is a model holding something like a gun or gadget but doesnt seem very recognizable unless its supposed to be the tazer but it doesnt seem like it fits. inspect was under the light class.

[slender lodge]

ozzi wtf u doin here

[spark dagger]

im asking about the mirrors edge ee ok

[slender lodge]

o ma bad

[inland hemlock]

https://imgur.com/a/ZDhUG1x

Our constellation maybe?

[bright ruin]

Not sure what the constellation is supposed to be in that image?

[inland hemlock]

the stars

[bright ruin]

Sure but how do they form a constellation? Theyre just 3 star shapes

[gaunt kiln]

Honey is sorta doin' what I was thinking about. There's tons of star props in vegas, they could line up or highlight stuff we've missed.

[inland hemlock]

dunno, there are a couple more out of frame on the same line

[bright ruin]

If it's just forming a line though, that's not much help constellation wise

If scattered around with another clue attached to it that indicates which stars they are, then that could very well be worth exploring

I actually wonder if we know the total number of stars around the map, perhaps specifically on buildings?

[upper sonnet]

Saloon Hotel and Stage maybe what they are indicating is important

does this have to do with that treasure map?

[bright ruin]

Doubtful

I will say, i've gotten las vegas 4 times in a row now, this sucks, but ill have a look around

[hard forge]

are we doing menu ee or cannon ee or something else

[bright ruin]

Menu, Cannon, Glitches are the 3 important ones as they'll be disappearing

[hard forge]

glitches are gone

[inland hemlock]

there's the north star too in vegas, on the glamora sign

[bright ruin]

Oh really? Even without s2 dropping?

cuz no patch/game update has happened yet

[wheat flame]

cap

im ingame and see glitches

[bright ruin]

yeah it'd be strange for them to be gone already

[gloomy anvil]

without a patch it's unlikely anything has changed

Anyone know the exact time it releases

[wheat flame]

nobody knows. They hinted, it will be in 4-5 hours or sometime around the work-day in sweden today. Try to ask EE-unrelated stuff on fitting channels next time

[limpid yarrow]

im goesing either 8am or 12 pm

[gleaming pelican]

Yeah probably

[coarse dagger]

I know that was a joke, but Just a reminder about the film Open Your Eyes:
It's about a love triangle between César, Nuria, and Sofía.

|| But as he makes love to Sofía one night, she suddenly changes into Nuria. Horrified, César smothers her to death with a pillow. Yet everyone else believes Nuria was indeed the woman everyone else calls Sofía, and he is imprisoned for her murder. ||

[slender lodge]

is t his just a bug

[acoustic canyon]

i no longer trust any images swa sends

[slender lodge]

this is real 😭

go into battlepass and click on any bundle and click preview

it says buy bundle and then it shows this

[acoustic canyon]

apparently lorem ipsum is a common placeholder text

[slender lodge]

yeah

[acoustic canyon]

so probably just a bug

[slender lodge]

das fair

i thought i had something

[limpid yarrow]

it might be a bug that is coming from the battle pass maybe being updated but not inmplmented and likely we are not suppoded to seee that messgae

[dull marsh]

Lorem ipsum is fake latin, it looks like latin but it isn't

Yeah I'd say not EE, as it's not really fun in any way

[limpid yarrow]

are the cannons being removed in s2?

[crisp glen]

The cannon EE is, we dont know why yet

[limpid yarrow]

welp

wish i knew they were ee related earlier

[dull marsh]

We knew there was a cannons EE a little while ago, we just didn't know there might be a deadline to it

[iron wedge]

idk if someone has said this before but the weekly challenges countdown got stuck at a specific number now that the season is "over"

[wheat flame]

you can search things in discord at the top right corner. If u put in the numbers in the search, you will find multiple chat messages related to that, nothing with conclusions tho i think

[wise trout]

The customer is very important, the customer will be followed by the customer. Suspended or free investment, feugiat eros in, dapibus dui. In order to have a good time, the people are happy and the author is happy. Good luck to those who will succeed in life. It is actually a soft lacinia in front of that clinical layer. The rest of the day is spent in pain, that time of the Lord to decorate and Smartphones The player is smart, the player is the author of the story, the body is like a diam. Tomorrow eleifend wants to become a lacinia vestibulum.

Somehow, the element of laughter is pure, but it's also diametrically opposed. Children or free time, Euismod just sed, rutrum nibh. Vestibulum sed ligula nec mauris vulputate sometimes does not promote that. Maecenas is bedridden, he needs a pillow for financing, the children do not read. I chatted with a sapien lake. Even the life of the doctor is not easy to do with real estate. Let it be easy in the ligula, the target of propagandism, the venomous turp. Massage as a pregnancy force, and pregnancy therapy.

There is nothing easy. There is no need for a chocolate tortor, a chocolate layer. Tomorrow's poison, hatred flatters the easy ones, for sometimes there is a great lake, who does not bow to the life of God. But I always mourn. and But to spread the word. No free bed; At the present time, the life of God is the most important thing.

For the chariots of the target are the drink of life

I translated that Latin says some weird stuff

[iron wedge]

good to know that i was getting tired of searching for stuff to make sure I said something new

[wise trout]

And there's actually a lot more than that That's just part of it

[iron wedge]

interesting

[wise trout]

. No surprise but it was a sad chocolate. There is nothing easy. And when the orcs were born, the mountains would give birth to feathers and great spurs, and a ridiculous mouse would be born. Some makeup is not eros, it is made neither protein nor protein.

The mass effect of CNN is the need for poison. It is said that life needs wisdom, from the internet. The customer is very important, the customer will be followed by the customer. In order to benefit from football in the fringilla. For children there is no, even if it is interesting, the course of the vehicle is wise. Suspendisse tortor lacus, molestie sed turpis a, temporum pellentesque orci. Live in mauris and mauris hendrerit to decorate et et lacus. Tomorrow is going to be a lot of fun, but it's hard to put it down now. The stage is sometimes vulputate turpis, but fringilla sapien lacinia quis. Neither the website nor the website from the CNN website or the said website.

There's still more there but I'm done for now it's a lot of spam and I can't make sense of it maybe someone else can

[stoic kiln]

Now thinking about it This mask is in the game but in this trailer there is two verson where it on the head and on it face IN GAMEPLAY and On This imag

Do you guy think we ment to have option to do this before

[bright ruin]

It’s literally standard placeholder text

[stoic kiln]

and there is even blue one

[bright ruin]

Perhaps, maybe we’ll still get an option. I’d like to be able to actually wear the pink tungsten mask rather than only having it on my head

[limpid yarrow]

i mean some items have the inablity to take a hood down

[stoic kiln]

Yea I personal think if this was nexon game. They would had have option like this and even color change option where you have to guy it for clothing and mask

[limpid yarrow]

this seems very offtopic tho

[stoic kiln]

Hmmmmm futer update guess ? hmmm maybe your right

I dont know how connected the things are and to what EE but i am trying to anylze robs cues:

• Monkeys (Monkey island, 3 Headed monkey on all maps around midnight?)
• mirror (mirrored messages, monkey behind you, mirrors all the time)
• OYE (Open your eye)
  -Atari (+Monkey Island?)
  -Number 3 (maybe 3rd monkey island, 3 players in finals team, "Admiral Casaba used cannons on the pirates of Knuttin Atoll if they congregated in groups of three or more."

[solid jay]

we generally don't look in game files for EE

[slim reef]

What if Rob said he was coined 3 times because you have to die in the same spot 3 times

[upper sonnet]

are there 3 of those d280 plaques?

[turbid tinsel]

anyone notice how many times rob has said 1-2 2-3 4-5?

[bright ruin]

Is that different from 1+2+3+4+5?

[turbid tinsel]

maybe, but like i starting noticing it not to long ago, but he says it ALOT

[bright ruin]

I've only see that one once

Most frequent from him is OYE

[turbid tinsel]

ok maybe its not alot, but def seems more frequent ive noticed it.

[obtuse jolt]

Anyone got a time?

[turbid tinsel]

nope, other than this seeming incorrect

when did they drop the CNS Soundtrack on Spotify? I doubt those give useful hints for those disappearing EEs tho

they didn’t

they did

wtf when did that happen

[swift bluff]

honestly tho rob love ya and love the cracking scene vibe and midi feel of the new tracks, pls send it earlier than season 1 so i can blast it in my civic ek asap

[wheat flame]

i have embark on autoplay, it just started right now while i was busy doing sth else lol

maybe someone finds sth there for other EEs

if your trying to say hi, Hi!, if your asking me something, what you need?

[warm lantern]

no no i was saying hi lmaoooo

[swift bluff]

sad hours no soundtrack on tidal

[timid cedar]

Its on Spotify

[turbid tinsel]

and youtube

[hard forge]

and we have some .wav files

[turbid tinsel]

?

[bright ruin]

From the CNS leaks

The torrent and then the most recent two songs

Freedoom, floating bits, megaultraheavy

Freedoom was v06 because it was 44.1kHz, instead of 48kHz like the other two. Thats why in the official release its v07

[swift bluff]

i dont get what that means but i love embark studios music

[turbid tinsel]

im guessing launch here in 3 mins

[bright ruin]

It’s the sample rate of the song. Audio is recorded and rendered at a sample rate. Standard is 44.1kHz, 16bit rate. The higher the sample rate, the better it sounds and the more data that exists of the audio in the recording/file

[swift bluff]

wow sorta looked into your profile and you are a tallanted sound designer for AA games, i do prefer higher sample rate why i used tidal have nice headphones

[plucky kettle]

This was found by @mystic storm

The background looks like it could have something

[bright ruin]

I appreciate the kind words!
Yeah tidal being lossless is great, used to use it for a bit myself
I typically host my higher quality music myself, otherwise I just use Spotify for convenience. Audio quality doesn’t matter much on a phone speaker or 04 Honda civic

[gloomy anvil]

this is the conspiracy theorist BattlePass skin, all BP pages feature their respective outfits/items

man ride in a 97 civic "ek" more like a clone hatch, but can notice with aftermarket head unit the quality difference :p

CNS may be Cyber Network Security then. Also it wouldnt make sense when they hack things.

[sharp flame]

No

Vaiiya is the cyber security 😭

Vaiiya is the new sponsor

[fresh quiver]

yeah. true. they are not the same companies. CNS is not a sponsor

[fresh quiver]

that makes it even more bad when they got hacked 😂

[sharp flame]

I think they were brought on board to help actually

Vaiiya will probably be the ones to get rid of CNS later in the season

[velvet narwhal]

maybe they unhack SYS$Horizon and show us the real life location

[velvet narwhal]

Yeah I wouldn't sponsor a hacked season if i were a cyber security firm...

[sharp flame]

Im assuming the sponsor got paid this time round!

[velvet narwhal]

We haven't investigated anything in the S2 BP yet

no cannons in the tutorial :(

[alpine junco]

amazing

[unkempt dune]

something got a makeover

[alpine junco]

interesting

[unkempt dune]

seems like the electric sparks and smoke stay indefinitely now after "breaking" it the second time

previously they went away

the boxes are also now more sleek

[fresh spruce]

So what did we lose with S2? Recon senses, different generators, what else?

[fallen jasper]

Every class' gadgets changed

Medium doesn't have any recon gadgets

Heavy has that sensor gadget

[unkempt dune]

I take it back, maybe they just last longer now

[fallen jasper]

So does light

Light has tracking dart

Wow 5.1gb update

[unkempt dune]

get this, you can move generators

[fresh quiver]

what?!

[fallen jasper]

Get what?

[unkempt dune]

maybe I'm just seeing things

[fallen jasper]

They're immovable

[unkempt dune]

could've sworn I saw it nudge

maybe there was a screen shake

ignore what I said about moving it, my eyes are probably tired staying up this late

Weird geometry in the tutorial

[light bane]

hey on the new gateway theres a stream of non blue text specifically orange on the left side

maybe something interesting

[dull marsh]

Potential reference to Portal? With the blue and orange

[fresh spruce]

That was in the trailer as well, I think it's just part of the animation. X, Y, W, and 0 was seen.

[latent peak]

CNS left a message in the new credits.

"we are CNS... our journey unfolds in the unseen... our imagination breaches the path... the thread guides us through the passages... Even spotlights cast shadows... Remember who you are... Remember why we did this... the greatest treasures are not found in vaults... 4111 - seek the truth beyond the walls... "

[alpine junco]

rule 4111?

pantone 4111?

tetrahedron

[dull marsh]

I can sense a big EE about the "outside the walls" on SYS$HORIZON

[eternal violet]

of course spotlights casts shadows, why even say "even". unless even as in odd/even, so we need a even number of spotlights to reveal something?

[latent peak]

another note is that CNS, Even, Remember, Remember are the only words that use capital letters

[fresh quiver]

Since i heard " the greatest treasures arent found in vaults" the first time i think this might be something

[alpine junco]

image in an image?

[unkempt dune]

I said it in https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1212747235578609795, but it seems like glitches make noises now

[dull marsh]

Sunflower?

[alpine junco]

the lines

like one of those shift images

[unkempt dune]

• Barrel boxes have a new model
• Generators have a new model
• Glitches now make noises

so are my observations so far

[alpine junco]

also some noises on the new map

[dull marsh]

Looks like that isolated

I can definitely see a wasp or some bug wings

There is something like that going on

[alpine junco]

like the charm

[dull marsh]

I see

So it seems to be about the Data Reshaper

[alpine junco]

i mean it could be something

or just a hint at lenticular printing being a process

[dull marsh]

But there are definitely some wings on the first one

[unkempt dune]

the cannons are still on monaco 🤔

(they're just not on the tutorial version of monaco)

[outer fulcrum]

Hey folks,
What rank do I need to post pictures? There‘s also a small rework on the Helipad of the Hospital on Seoul, they got a wind thingy on top of that now that serves no purpose, so might be EE related

the wind sock has always been there

Really? My bad, I was so sure that thing is new, never noticed it and it seemed to stick out a lot today

Thanks though!

[proven tulip]

About the priavte match. There's actually no option to play this solo. Only 12 people in lobby

[unkempt dune]

6 people min I believe

[alpine junco]

^

[proven tulip]

Yea, you're probably right, but still need to find 6 people to hunt for EE

[unkempt dune]

I haven't been able to search around the new map yet.. because I haven't gotten it yet 😢

[brave lintel]

Idk if this counts as an easter egg but Idk

CEO of Ospuze is "Sofia Petronelle"

We get that from the challenger circuit

[rapid spindle]

Does finals have sbmm?

Wrong channel mb

[grizzled merlin]

[alpine junco]

space invaders

shoot laser

[urban pond]

shein factory ahh schedule

[grizzled merlin]

The real easter egg is that scotty is chinese

[warm lantern]

MuCoDOS ?

cheers

[ocean ferry]

Who speaks in 5v5 mode (male voice)? cus it isnt scotty at all

[warm lantern]

fellas thats definitely a word

[warm lantern]

thats what i was saying

[warm lantern]

it looks like disguise or discord btw

[neon stream]

"DISCOVER", I think

[warm lantern]

i think so yeah

[neon stream]

(There are a few signs with that message)

[warm lantern]

Imagine, Discover

imagine being from the tv skin

Discover it’s all over the new map.

[upper sonnet]

100% a Bumble Bee

[warm lantern]

cool cool, cheers

[tight cloak]

is there anything in the new soundtrack?

[dusk veldt]

The title is weird

Idk im listening now though

[tight cloak]

They are. One of them says FreeDoom which might have something to do with something?

I’m not exactly an easter egg hunter, but I think from this season the story is a proprietary software v open source software symbolism

[dusk veldt]

Btw did we figure out the loading screen EE??

[tight cloak]

There’s an EE in there?

I haven’t booted the game up yet so I don’t know

[balmy shuttle]

No

[dusk veldt]

Rob said last night, but it was in regards to S1 i think

[tight cloak]

Ah

Alright

[dusk veldt]

Isnt this sun thing really weird?

[eternal violet]

how so?

[dusk veldt]

In some pictures, there are clear distinguishing lines (big ones), while in others, there aren't(only the small ones)

Maybe Morse code or something

[tiny tusk]

Is there a way I can see all of the currently discovered

[balmy shuttle]

At this point we should be playing the game and not looking at everything as an EE. Our minds need a break. The answers will come

[warm lantern]

spears back :D

[dusk veldt]

True true, just one last thing

There is a fire extinguisher skin, there was alot of writting but I did not have time to look at it(at work)

[warm lantern]

where

[tight cloak]

Fire extinguisher?

This game is super creative… lol

[balmy shuttle]

A lot of the stuff being put in this chat has been obvious nods to the 80s/90s hacking culture and none as of right now get us the answer to T3

[cerulean dagger]

Hey man, I still can't write in the secondary threads, could you please point out one thing in #1203859365610922036 ? I just noticed an interesting new emote in the shop, it's in the mercenary pack and it's called bloomy salute. Description: there's no rose without a thorn

[fresh quiver]

anyone have the description or image of S2 Battle Pass pg 9 Lvl 68 ?

[fresh quiver]

what do i know?
Haven't checked it yet. Still on work. Im home in earliest 3hours

[alpine junco]

#egg-hunt-onboarding

does anyone even read it anymore?

[dusk veldt]

Nope

[fresh quiver]

still better to link the Checklist for new Hunters 🙂 #easter-eggs message

[alpine junco]

that works too

[crisp glen]

good shout, I dont think rob would ever make a paid EE but its interesting nonetheless

[fresh quiver]

we will never know.
Skins were already used in other games from rob as trigger on specific locations.
Yes it's unlikely paid skins could be used for EEs. But it's not out of question. Imho.
If you see it correctly Phantom Program was also locked behind BF4 Premium 😄

Only thing i imagine is something maybe hidden in the new S2 Starter Pack.

btw. can anyone share an image of the new S2 starter pack?

[opaque thistle]

i am losing it i am so hype to dig into this new content omg 😩 this shit lookin cool asf

[hard forge]

I will get back to T3 now.

[cerulean dagger]

The description itself is not really locked behind a pay wall, I just found it pretty interesting.

[worn bridge]

Hey everyone, new to the discord, saw the EE chat with a friend and was immediately intrigued. Keeping it short, might be already found, but there’s some odd text on one of the fountains at Monaco when I did the new tutorial. at the very top of the fountain (west side of map i guess? Two cannons used to be there) on a solid block that reads U. Sassignan or something along those lines. I tried modifiying a screenshot to try and see it better but that’s the best I could do. Maybe someone could figure it out better?

[quaint stream]

You can inspect weapons funny boy

[hasty anvil]

Yep we've seen it, it's based on the real life fountains, the same text can be found there

[wet locust]

Rip glitches

[cerulean dagger]

With all the glitches and effects going on this season, looking for clues will be mental

[hasty anvil]

someone said they are still in

[wet locust]

Whuh

[wet locust]

Rob likes torture, noted

[worn bridge]

Oh no way? That’s neat, thanks for clarifying on that, I honestly didn’t know lol

[cerulean dagger]

Can someone please help me out? I can't for the life of me figure out how "from: rob_embark" works. I'm on mobile at the moment

[hasty anvil]

Mobiles a bit different, next to the search there's 3 lines, click that, click from, then type his name

[dusk veldt]

Tier 67, phone machine has a Number on it, phone number?

[cerulean dagger]

Thanks 🙏🏻, but I still can't see him, do I only get to see online users?

[hasty anvil]

No you can see offline too

maybe try updating

[quaint stream]

New credits, it's baller

[wet locust]

Btw are we no longer getting CNS posts in the subreddit? Sucks

[cerulean dagger]

Yup, now it's showing 👌🏻

[fallen jasper]

Where is quests at ?

Anyone know ?

[crisp glen]

wrong chat for that

[fallen jasper]

Can i know ?

[cerulean dagger]

Bottom left by the way

[fresh quiver]

as no-one mentioned it yet as explanation:
U.Bassignan is written on the Statues.
Umberto Bassignani is a real life sculptur creator/artist

[worn bridge]

Oh hell yeah!
Just finished combing through the threads so I guess I got a better idea now of what to look for lol

[fresh quiver]

also combed through the Padlets, google doc documentaton & wiki? 😄

[plucky kettle]

junes voice seems to be new?

[queen hornet]

same with scotty.. they don't seem right

[worn bridge]

Took a long look at the wiki, just briefly glanced over the padlets and whoooo boy. Definitely not gonna go crazy with all this info lol 😆

[sharp flame]

Yeah! They totally redid them! I was listening to the voices and they're way more expressive. Sound like different people

[plucky kettle]

yeah

[slate dagger]

are they real voice actors or AI?

[plucky kettle]

ai based from real ppl

trained*

[slate dagger]

that's scary

in a way

[sharp flame]

AI created by real voice actors who they constantly pay royalties to and pay them loads whenever they record new training sets

[slate dagger]

they seem so real

[sharp flame]

Can't imagine how many lines must have been recorded to get this latest dataset

[slate dagger]

scotty is chat gpt lol

[cerulean dagger]

I really don't know how to feel about this, to me they seem worse. Which I doubt is the case, it's probably just a matter of, "it's different"

[plucky kettle]

something to note aswell, benches are now able to be pushed over easily. that is a game changer

[cerulean dagger]

Right?!

[sharp flame]

Yeah, you have to get used to them

[cerulean dagger]

I immediately thought this might have had something to do with S lies

[plucky kettle]

there is this square in monaco training arena (idk if in actual map)

[sharp flame]

but objectively the voices have more range now, the voicelines are a lot more varied in tone

and they don't sound super unrealistic when they strain their voice haha

[slate dagger]

but they need to add more of them, they are repeating over and over and over...

[sharp flame]

and hopefully June says "mega" right this time

[sharp flame]

What's better than that? Realtime generation. I think that's their goal.

[slate dagger]

yeah they have to plug Chat GPT to the finals and that's it

[sharp flame]

The Commentators using your name in their lines, commenting on specific plays from specific people

that's what they're gonna do I think

They just need a lot of time to get that done

[bright ruin]

Or locally hosted on the server itself, rather than introducing another point of network delay into the mix

[velvet narwhal]

it would be crazy. they could use them as real commentator in esports

[plucky kettle]

this is something

[cerulean dagger]

Could very well be something, but could also very well be a glitch. Chess boards are usually 8x8, so this being a 10x10 doesn't really make me think of it as something intended. This said there are chess variations played on 10x10 boards, very much more rare but yeah I would discard this right away as something useless. Nice find

[marble lance]

could be the first

[hidden nacelle]

just unreal engine dev texture

[plucky kettle]

could definatley be a bug

[plucky kettle]

but maybe there on purpose?

[cerulean dagger]

Can you share the precise location? I'm curious to know if it was there before the update

[bright ruin]

training area is new

[cerulean dagger]

Is it? I'm pretty sure I've checked it today but I might have done it before the update

[bright ruin]

they overhauled the tutorial

it's entirely new

not talking about the practice range, the tutorial

I dunno if practice range also received an expansion or update, but I know tutorial now takes place in part of Monaco

[plucky kettle]

and another

that is here

[cerulean dagger]

Oh alright, I get it now thanks

[plucky kettle]

2 of them might make me think its intentional

[alpine junco]

thats where u stand

and it tp u to vegas

[plucky kettle]

HUH

[cerulean dagger]

Or that they unintentionally left something in spots where interactions are meant to take place

[indigo girder]

I noticed that they added the cash box to the range

[bright ruin]

Not if it's the same texture missing in multiple spots

If the texture file itself is missing/corrupt, it won't show up anywhere on the map that has that missing texture placed

[plucky kettle]

bluff?

[cerulean dagger]

Is there the church also?

[plucky kettle]

its a different texture tho

[bright ruin]

Oh right, good point, missed the first ss

[bright ruin]

Monaco has a church, idk if tutorial does. Haven't logged on today

[plucky kettle]

this is where the other one is

Bug floor locations

[cerulean dagger]

Ahah, yeah I know that Monaco has a church, I meant the tutorial

I still can't get Grace Kelly out of my head

[azure yew]

yo I'm just trying to unlock my vc privileges

[plucky kettle]

found a 3rd aswell

[cerulean dagger]

Too many ties with the word rose and both Monaco and the church in monaco

[cerulean dagger]

Write down the locations

[plucky kettle]

thats the thread

[slate dagger]

i found something strange in the tutorial

but i cant post pics

[plucky kettle]

send to me in dms

[dusk veldt]

New glitches

[hasty anvil]

that one is known

[dusk veldt]

Ah didnt know, sorry:)

But they were supposed to be removed though

[cunning pivot]

this is crazy!

prob

[acoustic canyon]

only the ee was supposed to be removed

it mightve been that they did something new which now a gadget has the functionality of

[hasty anvil]

Tbh, I think it was cannons and S1 Menu that were removed, not glitches

[dusk veldt]

No it was both, Rob confirmed

[bright ruin]

Rob did say that it would also disappear

[dusk veldt]

So its weird that they would still be around

[bright ruin]

but he didn't specify glitches... he could have meant the EE associated with the glitches

#1204475718747029535 message

GAH, that's true that will ALSO disappear... OK then you have TWO EE's that will be gone on March 14...

[fallen jasper]

wait the tutorial is in monaco now?

[acoustic canyon]

could have been a budget version of gateway

[plucky kettle]

yes

[fallen jasper]

interesting

[dusk veldt]

True true, just felt it was weird they would stick around

[fallen jasper]

WE MISSED TWO FULL EEs? awhh fuck

[dusk veldt]

Yep😔

[bright ruin]

potentially 3. We aren't sure what the S1 menu EE was

[dusk veldt]

He wouldve specified though? I dont think that was related to them

[fallen jasper]

the new tutorail is nice..

[dusk veldt]

Like he wouldve said to look for the menu EE to progress, better words but still

[bright ruin]

Why would he have specified? He said there's a little EE in the s1 menus

It's not tied to the other EE

as far as we know

#1216788595373899877 message

Well, then you have 5-6 hours still... psst there is also a little EE hidden in the S1 menus... ._.

[snow walrus]

REMINDER: We have TIER3 to be solved

[sacred scaffold]

sorry to interject, have yall seen that there is a tag thats under the face of the watch in the final page of the season 2 battle pass? its a red/white tag.

[fallen jasper]

theres some more lore vignettes in the game files that are supposed to go on TVs I think... but thats breaking the spirit so ill shudup

Wait u made it up? I hope not💔

[velvet narwhal]

it sparks when you damage it

[cerulean dagger]

They're not new and they always did that

[fallen jasper]

I JUST said i didnt 😭

[cerulean dagger]

But there is one thing very interesting about the generator in the shooting range, if you shoot at it, all the lights around it go out for exactly 45 seconds

You might want to check #1203859365610922036

[cerulean dagger]

Pretty cool however I don't think it can be related to any EE

[fallen jasper]

shhhhh**

the PCs on the new map seem to have random letters inscribed into them. someone should probably go trough the frames to see if theres anything of worth

[cerulean dagger]

But then there's also this #easter-eggs message

I just want to note that glitching objects glitches their text

[wild sky]

i just noticed

on the back of the time flies weapon charm in the altutude attitude set there are 4 clock times on it

the times seem to be 7:05, 11:25, 11:25 and 12:00

[cerulean dagger]

Pretty interesting, I saw there were circles behind it but from where I am sitting I didn't notice anything. Nice find

[proven gazelle]

I wonder what the white rabbits look like when glitched.

[snow walrus]

The Egyptians believed that from these eight gods came a cosmic egg that contained the deity responsible for creating the rest of the world, including the primeval mound—the first land to arise out of the waters of pre-creation. In some versions of the myth, the egg was laid by a goose named “the Great Cackler,” while in other versions an ibis, the bird associated with the god Thoth, is responsible for the egg

I forget who was looking for angles for Theta, but fwiw, the water molecule might be something to consider (besides the whiteboard). h2o, between H-H is 104.45'; Also, yeah, "HH"

[dusk veldt]

Theres alot of interesting stuff in the new map in out of bounds, different shapes and something akin to, i cant even describe it, earths magnetic field almost

[full token]

I was looking it up because I was trying to remember older joystick models. I only remembered the Atari's off the top, the 2 buttons stuck out to me, because the Atari had 1. And the buttons being at what I would perceive to be the bottom of the controller if you were to hold it as it hangs, the buttons being at the bottom seemed like it would be weird ergonomically (maybe not though). So I went to go look at the C64's (Ball on the top), and wanted to look at the shells/valence for h2o and look at the rings of the folding of the rubber + see if that's like a "legally distinct" vibe or if it matched anything. That's definitely a Ball-and-Stick model of a water molecule though. (Shoutout to the SR in the knot of the cable lol)

Also formation of planets, (mass accretes at the poles due to centrifugal force caused by the angular momentum) and how planets form with water. It's more than likely what our Space-Time-Structure is according to current models/understanding. It's just important in general, can be applied to a lot.
