This dude was the best, watched him during Waking Titan, not sure if there is an order to them, I'm sure you can just watch them from oldest to newest, when I get home I can look to see what are the best ones
@uncut harness
So is Walking Titan like the lore out of the simulation?
I believe it's the lore on how the simulation started
OooooOO
Yes please
So where can i read that up
The guys that did it
Their website was kinda
weird
i got lost
Yeah, that went so in depth, I don't really know what you can read, but those YouTube vids might walk you through what happened, unfortunately they were made during it, so it will probably be a bit long of a watch
@uncut harness https://wiki.gamedetectives.net/index.php?title=Waking_Titan I'm as green about this as you are, but this looks pretty comprehensive to me
Kk ty
If only i knew what to do with my 2 Atlas Stones that i have had on my OG NMS save from release day 1 🤔
might have to sell them for the 160k units, seems really worth 
okay uhh
atlas said everything will reset in 16 minutes
uhh?
is this where i travel to a different galaxy?
the mission called "the purge"
yes
i heard lush is really good, is this true?
ye
Sooo this game
||the reptile dudes where beating the sentials.. But yet the sentials managed to wipe out a entire galaxy in a few seconds.. How the F where they getting beat??||
Maybe the vikeen sentinels gek and korvak and travelers are the pinnacle of alien space faring life so everything else gets steam rolled? @haughty rover
They kinda represent each type of basic role lol the #1 warriors the #1 traders the #1 travelers the #1 police force being represented
the local gta police force

I think Korvax is more like scientists than travelers
Well that is what the story literally says si
Yea they are
so*
Interlopers
@uncut harness Do you DJ Madson's "Is This the Real Thing?"
"This is just a simulation / You are just an illustration / Lines and pixels on a sheet of paper"
Lmao yes
It was kinda sad
You get used to happy endings in TV shows and games nowadays
@twilit sky matter of opinion, i prefer dead/weird
@haughty rover likely that the Sentinels were undergoing some maintenance/something background was happening diverting attention/resources leading to a momentary "weakness" that the Vy'keen benefited from
Imagine in the next big update, everyone gets on, and the first thing you see on your screen is the number '15' in bold lettering

Oh indeed
we're past that but lol

Any guesses? 💀
derelight freighters seem to use more complex procedural room system than the crashed ones
just broke some of the doors and went in with photo mode
they have multiple layers etc
Anyone checked the QS vendor?
When the Living Ship stuff went live, Sean twitted an egg icon / emoji
sweet we get a coffin now? /s
They probably just reused assets from crashed freighters we find on planets
Surely someone has excavated a freighter, yeah? That would tell us
you can shoot the crates btw
give materials, sometimes quicksilver I think
.. but also spawn pirates
Well
I did shamefully spend like 6hrs digging out a freighter
But i couldn't tell you
Biggest waste of time na, but i needed glass anyways
I like to head to a snow biome planet and get frost crystals for my glass
@mental socket the reason for that is because it's literally the crashed freighter asset in space
I've done tests the layout is identical
ah
Wait, so airadine is back?!
No, she's back for me
hmm
but the story has not gotten to that point yet
what platform were you on?
I remember reading something about W10 and Xbox gamepass versions having some issues with the weekend missions
I know some, including Starnomoly, were having issues
It’s been working for me now
But yeah there was an issue about it connecting properly
Apparently it had to do with the discovery system. With me it just kept trying to connect and it wouldn’t. That latest patch managed to fix it. For me at least
Gonna toss this here since convo in Help got it lost. Anyone know how to go about acquiring ATLAS Pass v1 these days? Polo isn't offering quests / asking for language milestones from me in this update, so he's not giving it to me.
@prisma oak visit the Anomaly and go to the upgrade terminal section around the back, should be a blueprint available at one of those terminals. I forget which one, exosuit maybe?
@crisp fern Found it about two minutes ago at a Manufacturing Facility that threw me a Blueprint tree to pick from. Somehow had 2 overrides, so I bought blueprints for Pass v1 + v2.
oh right, i mixed it up, my bad. i always associate the blueprint trees with the Anomaly anymore because most of them are there
Managed to effortlessly find a facility immediately by dropping down a sensor array, and it handed over blueprints immediately, which was great, since I figured I'd be searching for hours.
Why the ship doesn't have a planetary scanner I have no idea. It desperately needs one. I shouldn't have to park, get out, drop a sensor array, then be able to detect buildings.
The ship can detect all sorts of crap from clear across the galaxy, why can't it detect a building a few miles away?
Can you go to other galaxies and still come back? or is it a linear, lonely journey?
You can. You would need a base in the galaxies you want to come back to
Like if you wanted to travel between Euclid and Eissentam then you would set up a base in both of those galaxies
You do know
Atlas pass V2 does everything the v1 does. unless you had to unlock em one at time
Don't panic though if you don't have a Euclid base. It's super easy to get back there. And there's plenty folks in other galaxies happy to give you a bridge, just ask.
@haughty rover Aware of that, yes. I didn't have Cadmium on me to make the v2 - and you can't buy the V2 / V3 blueprints initially without first unlocking V1. That's how blueprint trees work, silly.
@tawdry tusk looks like distorted screenshots of a UI
How do I tell which stars will have Cadmium, again?
And Endium is...green?
Whatever it's called, that, yes
Was isn't indium blue?
oh yeah
Indium's purple, I think?
my bad
Would be neat
Cease lies and slander
Like you have to have both red and blue warp drives to travel to purple stars.
That would make for a neat thing
can someone dissect murray's tweet frame by frame to speculate on this new update?
Clearly purple. Ish. I guess we could go with Pink for this star, though
Still kinda purple imo
Pink is my favourite colour
It's meant to be a red star, but the blue space around you is giving it a bit of a purple tint (stars are somewhat see-through too)
What fresh hell is this? I'm apparently in some forgotten corner of Euclid where there's no green stars
I can't find any near my system...
Also i found a frame in the static where it sorta clears and it looks like a purple/blue field leading to a purple/blue forest with a purple/blue sky
bruhs theres a new update around the corner and you fellas are talkin about star colours?
theres 4 colours
pick one
I think there also might be half of an image of space later on
@tawdry tusk post screens here
i'll try but i'm a boomer zoomer and barely know how to make screenshots
I Believe in you bro
the blue/purple landscape
the half-space
and there's one more
4 images on top of eachother (first is puple/pink grass, second is green space, and third/fourth are what looks like either desert, radioactive, or toxic planet with what might be new foliage? idk, could be more than what I've guessed though)
also the purple/pink area looks like a beach
||The skull emoji may represent the atlas dying||
@dreamy cypress But then the game would be ending
Not really, since it would imply a reboot ||universe reset||
if that was true, it could be the beginning of a new rising power
Zug, Atlas is the only thing keeping everything...there.
zugly
maybe the abyss will take over and hold it captive in its weak state
we the players will fight the abyss
and the atlas shall rise once more
But Atlas is going Rampant, like Cortana from the Halo series
He isn't noticing glitch planets, and considers himself a "god"
He's probably the reason your character doesn't know he's in a virtual world
maybe we'll destroy them both and enter into a newly generated digital frontier
An online event would be cool
something with more players working together
Technically you are the only real person. "Multiplayer" is all different iterations of the main character split into millions of himself, each with their own mindsets to make sure the main character doesn't realise anything suspicious
The AI wants to be a god, hence his rampency, and you're the last one alive.
The simulation has 16 minutes left until it's shut down, but he's making sure those 16 minutes essentially last "forever" by having time be augmented in the simulation, so he can be a god "forever".
He constantly "changes" the universe, updating it to keep you occupied.
Isn't the atlas being consumed by a black hole in the real world?
You know the characters with the Pyramid like heads with a yellow crystal? You know how they "exist and don't exist" at the same time? Some having their suits, according to the dialog, being covered in blood? How they would talk in distress and your character not being able to remember anything they say?
Those are reminants of the other people in the simulation who died because of Atlas. The reason your character can't comprehend any memory of their distress is because Atlas is trying to keep them under control, but they're persistent because of their humanity being tied with them still.
At least, this is all my theory on the game
More complicated, Atlas lost control ages ago, different subroutines trying to restore stability have themselves gone rampant, and deterioration of the system due to something (black hole, time, breach?) has produced distortions harming/killing inhabitants
@crisp fern I see
But ye, I don't trust Atlas lmao
Take one of the glitch pillars and throw it inside Atlas, corrupt his systems and shut him down. Last few minutes of the game is you walking around while a black hole starts tearing everything apart
PLOT TWIST
After a big "ending scene" with the black whole eating the "real world", the screen goes white. When it fades in, you're standing next to a destroyed Radient Pillar on an unknown toxic planet. You get in and you recieved a signal from Atlas: "It isn't over yet."
knowing the Atlas it would be more like: system reboot? end? system shut down unsuccessful
I believe it can shut down the simulation, but because of him going rampant wanting to be a god, he doesn't want to do that.
@crisp fern
He'll do anything to make sure he's the god of his own universe.
Hmm?
The atlas is the simulation, it was designed to be such by it's creator. if it shuts down the simulation, it kills itself
Yes
But also I don't really buy that reading
also, some lore interactions show that it really doesn't care if it's treated as a god, it mor eor less just want answers about why it was born
The Atlas is a creative entity that yearns to continue creating & observing their creation, and so simply wants to continue existing
While also wanting to know the nature of existence, yeah
we are a corrupted clone of the creator's mind, and it wants to know why it was created then abandoned, and so has created us (the travellers) from it's creator's corruped mind
The atlas is the simulation, it was designed to be such by it's creator. if it shuts down the simulation, it kills itself
@tawdry tusk
Hence why Atlas killed the other people in the simulation. They probably wanted to shut Atlas down, and Atlas realised this and went rampant.
But Atlas had to keep at least one, so he had a reason to keep the universe going. So Atlas erases your memories and drops you on a planet with a ship and small AI in your Exosuit that tells you how to survive and build. Atlas wants you to believe you aren't in a simulation.
All the other "travelers" (multiplayer) are all iterations of you being split into a million versions of you.
The control overtones are more from the subroutine meant to keep it on track, which failed and basically went rampant trying to fix everything
again, we already know that the atlas was just straight-up abandoned on earth when everyone left. the creator asked if it wanted to live or die, and the atlas chose to live, so the creator just kinda allowed it to live
@crisp fern Hence glitch planets
i think he's reffering to the sentinels more than the glitch planets

yo
also, we don't really have any evidence that other people where in the simulation. it was designed to test if we ourselves were in a simulation, but there is no evidence to prove that there were ever people in there
can i get a TLDR?
TLDR on the atlas stuff we've been discussing, or the static video
the static video, speculation
@tawdry tusk I thought WT hinted at other people being part of it
Ok for the static, we've found a few images that look like planets or space
i woke up and it was like my phone had blown up, it was actually warm from all the twitter and discord notifs lmaooooo, must be update season
one blue/purple planet, blue-red space, a purple/pink beach, and 2 desert/toxic/rad planets with potentially new foliage
yeah i saw something round that looked like a planet
also apparently there was an internal update yesterday or smthng
What did it do?
yeah
internal did nothing (we'll either see some experimental or live stuff soon tho probably)
hmm, another frame that stuck out to me is the one with orange lines
also someone apparently found a number sequence of 53022
in the vid?
ye
apparently the number sequence was in here (i don't see nothin tho)
i wonder if each frame has any correlation to old trailer content (totally speculating)
@dreamy cypress Oh shit
What of the blue and green one is the Bioluminescent planet and the top one is the beach from the OG trailers
OG trailer stuff being confirmed for new update?
Who knows
hey baguette ❤️
It's all speculation/up in the air at the moment
Hey Bruce :3
But it was all too uncanny
it was all a dream
Oh gods
what if the new update is just that we get to play pre-release trailers in the nexus over and over again
It's the ":3" face
used to read word up magazine
:3
@tawdry tusk when Solith Prime was added to the in game dialogue i felt that way tbh lol
i spent hours and hours trying to figure out why sean would add that
Weird that they put a ref to Soleth Prime in to the game
Soleth Prime?
yes, you used to be able to talk to the guy guarding the portal in the nexus
and he said something about remembering the old days or something
i just about had a heart attack
@quasi tapir https://youtu.be/88X--2sq3Fs?t=253
We've now gotten 6 trailers of No Man's Sky so far. Here's all of them in one ~14-minute video.
Website: http://www.no-mans-sky.com/
Subreddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/
Information Archive: http://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/wiki/archive
😩
nothing ever came of it 😦
@tawdry tusk internal update was earlier today, probably around 5 hours ago now
ah ok
those lil clouds are kinda nice too
tomorrow is the 16th so they might try smthng then
oh yeah
Thursdays aren't unusual update days but I wouldn't bank on it till the Sean thread and patch notes emerge
i know this is all in my head and all probably bs, but i dream that this is all because of the "super formula" being free to be used and sean now says "let's make the game we where making" and yadda yadda i'm going to go eat ice cream and cry 😭
kinda surprised that this is happening only a month after the last update. it looked like HG was going for a 2-month difference between updates
makes sense if HG were keeping track all along of the superformula expiration
and have been working on something in preparation of that day
this seems "bigger" to me, especially with this video this morning
i think so
yeah @nocturne zephyr
though we did get some weird images for living ship
Best I can do with this cryptic stuff, but really impossible to see 😛
i guess they did say they had overarching projects throughout the year
man, i NEVER speculate this much, brb going to grab a thermometer
ha
Purple beaches? Hell yeah
yeah that looks like a very colorful beach. need more alien beaches
more interesting shorelines
We need forests and Dino sized Dinos
Overgrown Forest Planets
mmmmmm
vines and stuff wrapping above our heads from tree to tree
pine needle ground textures
gotta multitool em to get in
GIANT WORMS
i want to be consumed
😄
...
by a large worm
Sand worms 👀
it was an ALASKAN BULL WORM!!!!!
Someone's into...things
remember, there was one of those worm-like things inside the hazard containment unit
in the space encounter
you released them
YES
😉
in that regard it kinda makes sense
HG gives us an encounter and they expect us to shoot it
which means, we're the cause of something new populating the universe
||im reaching||
There should be a super expensive upgrade to freighters that give them a Gaus Canon, similar to the frigates in Halo
alien trees
i kinda just want crocodiles and flying creatures that can land
flying crocodiles that can land
should be the title of a scified b-movie
courtesy of @uncut harness:
Hmm. Each of those look like different images
Maybe they are pics of the upcoming update super blurred and stuff
PT said in his stream a little ago he got a leak from someone that contained gameplay but he sadly wont share it lol. I hope that 4chan leak is right its looking more accurate as time passes.
^
the story drop stuff was already announced whent hat leak happened
so it's not that they were right, they just already knew about it
the rest is just wishlist stuff that is always in the fake leaks around update time
crossplay is on like half of the wishlists
and yeah we knew about the missions before that
like a few days or something before the leak they had releasedd a blog post saying that a writer came back to work on weekend story missions
No we did not lol he was right about it being a mini ARG linking to the update.
ok so that post was may 30th right
Yeah and the community missions didn't start until the second week of June if I remember correctly.
post from the 29th
development blog 11
i'm not saying the leak is absolutely false but people are using info that was available as proof
crossplay is the only actual thing that was right so far but that's been a requested feature so it wouldn't be out of the question
Hm I see so maybe he just speculated correctly however its just odd it got deleted by a admin because when that happens that generally means it has some cred also he did leak stuff before this to so he isn't a complete random.
idk i see threads deleted from 4chan at random seemingly
i dont use it much but sometimes there are results when i search stuff and its a completely arbitrary thread and it 404s
I want it to be true, but it is 4chan. We'll see. 😁
The leaker also said the weekend stuff would be hinting towards the content coming in the next update. That’s exactly what has been happening
But yeah I’m still taking it with a grain of salt
There wasn't really a mid June content drop tho was there?
But this one is more realistic than the one that just rewrote a fan image from Reddit at least 😁
What's that distorted image that's been going around?
we don't even know if the weekend stuff has been hinting at content though, it's just people assuming that
and the distorted image is from sean murray's twitter, he posted a cryptic video
crossplay is the only actual thing that was right so far but that's been a requested feature so it wouldn't be out of the question
@heavy glacier ... and even crossplay was known to be included since they added PlayFab Party to the game with the April 7th update.
didnt know about that, but yeah just furthers my point
Two files were included, which made it pretty obvious. These were PartyWin.dll and PartyWin7.dll respectively.
i thought partyfab was just microsoft's way of translating speech to text?
That is just a small part of it
ah
https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/5285142/
I assume there is no way of accessing the internal build patch notes
Going back to leaks for a second PT in his stream said that he got a gameplay leak from someone that aligns with the 4chan leak but he said he wouldn't share it. So I wonder if its mocked up or true.
tbh it's probably someone taking the mick, but who knows
@molten karma I can't understand what those kinda ppl get from it
clout
@dusk sorrel Sorry to put some shine on it. It was funny when you realized you shouldn't have said that lol. People are just hungry for more info outside of the teasing. I wonder if there would be anything tomorrow..
Personal theory is that Sean will be posting cryptic stuff like today until the 23rd, then on the 23rd (xbox show) we'll get a full trailer that says "coming 14th August" or around the anniversary
I agree but it could also launch during the show to I mean NEXT did launch in July and everytime he posted a emoji the update always came out a week later it seems.
However August seems to be the for sure anything before is pure speculation, hype, and hoping.
sony already did their big event, right?
august isn't a for sure thing, nothing is for sure right now
Unless they hold the update for next gen for winter I'm 100% it'll be August. All the big summer updates released in August aside from NEXT and that was July.
Yooooo Nextmas
July is not outside the realms of possibility
i still think we're gonna get some kind of news on the 23rd
I was waiting for someone to go frame by frame.
Also, the fact the emoji he posted was a skull, ummm death???
for the xbox conference thing
Is this a planet
i see sans
Again, this trailer is so fuckin' ominous that it's low-key creepy.
There is definitely something hiding in these frames, not sure if it's a single frame we are after, if we should overlay the frames to make a complete picture, if we should place them all next to each other and zoom out, or what, but this is a code
how funny would it be if sean just put something completely random like this out and it turns out to have no context whatsoever
to any update
Pareidolia to the max
I have been saying this game needs a true antagonist faction other then the space police sentinel force
https://letsenhance.io this requires a email to process image
Maybe try this to devour the frames
Remember the main mission with Artemis, and she was stuck in the void between realities, and she kept saying something was hunting her, did we all just assume it was sentinels?
Was it ever directly stated to be the sentinals?
Well the Abyss has been around since Atlas Rises
So there definitely could be speculation

Do you think Artemis drank the water? 
@gloomy echo beings from the world of glass

"Abyss" is often associated with water - there was literally "The Abyss" update.
The Abyss as an entity is often associated with water.
Water and glass are both reflective.
And we don't know when Artemis died, do we? We just know she was dead by the end.
TRAVELER AFTERLIFE

Mirror dimensionnnnnn
Eyes are also reflective
bruh
Art
Reflective?
Mirrors?
When I look in a mirror I see myself. Myself is the new enemy.
PVP update confirmed! Lol
Still, I'm boarding the afterlife/mirror dimension theory.
An interdimensional threat, like demons in the warp!
Warhammer40k connection confirmed! Lol
I just realised that tomorrow is 16th hahahaha
Update drop or Waking Titan season 3?
@zinc bough Artemis isn't dead exactly
Travellers work differently
They shoved her in the simulation remember?
Idk I did
I didn't

Show uusss
what is de-fragging!>?!
gotcha
and I cant , LOL its made on proprietary software
Its a day night cycle as far as i can tell
infinite r a g e

Can't screenshot?
As in, I cant share images produced by the program, im on a work pc
They track that shit
darnnitt
can you do a crappy phone photo?
Zug, seriously, thank you for telling me about those images
yw
is taking a photo of the screen legal?

now apparently Toval is more hyped than all of us combined

Im honestly trying to figure out the images right now
this is fricking fun!
its like a puzzle
the images arent in the right proportions, its more like a panning image
like someones turning there head
Definitely landscapes
100 percent
know how i know?
What do all of the images have?
Horizons
True
Proc-gen update?
Hell if i know

it might be time to reignite the #waking-titan channel, or at least a speculation channel or something
prolly not waking titan since it's straight from sean
Yeah that's what I was thinking, I mean Sean did play a role at the very end of WT, but yea
At most his initials were a thing in it? Maybe..? Even then I don't remember if it was even directly for the ARG per say, More of like.. Thank yous and such.
Its been a long while since WT So I don't remember much really, Heh..
Dem were gud fun days.
@fringe notch can you dm a pic of what images you got
Like a pic from the phone of your screen or something
I dont have a cellphone, SHUSH! Im from the 1980s
😛
Seriously, I need to get a cell
I just hate the concept of having people able to get hold of me all the time. I LIKE PRIVACY!
i mostly agree Toval
everyone contacting eachother so much that we now expect immediate answers, we expect someone to pick up the phone right away, and as an introvert, i dislike that.
Welp, I must go back to work
Lunch breaks over
take care
may your puzzle hunt go well
have a good one
Anyways, if it's a variety update I'll eat my own face
The sock never got eaten
who was supposed to eat a sock
I think fluffy? I don't remember too well, it was towards beginning of WT
that pact breaker

Pacts are back??
yes
Nice
was going to cut off the toes of my shoes this week if we didn't get any news, but we did
If it's an exploration/variety update in some form, I'll give away a copy of the game.
someone pin that
Don't break your oath
It is set in stone

Thursdays are fairly common update days aren't they?
My best guess is that the update will drop on one of the seven days of a week.
It wont be any later than August 16th I got my money on that lol.
If I'm wrong then I will be perplexed
Given how they've been teasing updates closer to their releases this year, I'm really unsure of what to make of this. could be july, could be august, the subreddit will devolve into anarchy if it's anytime past august (unless we get an official announcement of when)
Eh why would they update internal if an update was that far away though?
@tawdry tusk its actually been the opposite if you've been here, updates used to be announced a literal day in advance
I've been in/lunking in the community since foundation, i just know that sometimes they do tease a lot in advance (atlas rises, NEXT, beyond)
i do personally think it's going to be out sooner rather than later, but we can't really tell for sure
I wonder if they'll be at the Xbox Showcase next Thursday to show anything off.
Also I've been playing since launch and its weird I wasn't really hyped for Beyond and I just knew it was gonna be focused on VR and online. However this is different I haven't been this excited since NEXT and Waking Titan.. I just have a gut feeling this update will be amazing for some reason. I wont forget that I actually joined this discord around Atlas Rises I remember NEXT leaking early because of Xbox players getting copies early lol.
remember when early launch gameplay was released on pornhub?
Yeah it was on YouTube but it was DMCA'd so the guy went to Pornhub lmao. It was end of July I think about two weeks before launch I remember people were complaining about getting to the center really quick prepatch.
The only time where you could assume going to pornhub with your parents
one could say that it was nut a good look for security
So I have this old android device with a photo editor which had a sketch art filter and a cartoon filter. Probably nothing but one of the dark images looks like a labyrinth or map using the filter tho I'm sure it's just a coincidence
What on Earth is this?
Wait.. thats creepy as fuck
is that its creator looking at atlas in the last garbled signal
ooph
What?
Just kidding around, though that face looks humanoid
for sure
Nose, eyes, brow ridge
It looks like fairly common spectrograph static. If someone wants to hide a secret in the spectrograph, then it's usually extremely obvious
It's a stretch to call that a face tbh
It's a skull.
Didnt sean share a skull emoji?
We're on the right track folks, keep digging.
Anyone else reckon the skull emoji he posted yesterday is a big indicator for a space combat update? Seeing as the pirate symbol is a skull also. Only thing in-game I can link it to.
Anyone figured out the glitch yet?
my theroy is this is about the death of the atlas
the glitch has nothing
its probably stock footage
Also has anyone chucked the video through a steganography algoritm yet to see if there's extra data hidden inside?
Would be interesting if the skull was reference to the death of Atlas. Agreed on the glitch stuff being stock footage or just non-related. Maybe someone will find something in it in the next few days.
yes there was nothing
I don't remember all of it but the one weekend event had that
oh no i think its related but they arent significant
i think they're both related to the death of the atlas or the rise of our good ol friend the abyss
I thought someone only did it through a spectrometer already? Not a steganography?
There is an image of 4 jumbled screenshots that show landscapes and terrain that come from the weird video.
It's up there somewhere. I am trying so hard to work out what is happening, nobody would tell me so I have found out for myself as much as I can.
The 2 second clip from Waking Titan from Sean Murray slowed down to 3 mins 😆
frame by fram
e
there is nothing
Yeah i was right, it's only been run through a spectrogram and not steganography.
That was the spectrogram
i don't think it's anything major
tomorrow is the 16th
this was probably just a teaser
It's already the 16th here in New Zealand tho
i mean over there
For a new update?
yes
Oh ok. I wish someone told me this an hour ago lol.
like if it landed on the 16th it'd make perfect sense
I got lost so much thinking it was something important.
heck my death of the atlas theroy would make even more sense
considering the number has essentially become a horseman of the apocalypse
Well gonna run a steganography test to see if there's any extra data that shouldn't be there, the whole difference is a spectrogram converts it to on screen symbols which we remember from the waking titan ARG but steganography is the actual art of hiding data within videos.
Will be back sook with results
*soon
OMFG
what?!
Can someone please work out the word that's possibly made out in the spectrogram??!!!
The steganography test does show extra data but it's ciphered by a password.
What did you use to do the steganography test?
I've got a quick python script that goes through checking the standard format padding data then extracts it separately which returned true that there was extra padded data.
I am so confused.
nice, is it on github or did you code that yourself?
Just give it a google? I was just using the standard python cytography libraries tho for actual decoding which I want to attempt there was some which more or less relate to images which could actually mean the "screenshots" we're all looking for are multiple all individually hidden within the video in different frames?
Gonna have to split each frame into separate images and attempt to decode all without a password unless someone can figure out what that screenshot might say
Try some keywords we already know like “abyss” or “atlas” or “skull”
@haughty karma you used this? https://pypi.org/project/stegano/
@random grail no but I'm about to once I split the images
I was just using a basic data mapper to check for extra padding in video sequences of which the standard video codes would not have.
Ok sounds interesting. Looking forward to seeing what you find.
Also the static halfway through gets me, reminds me of when they hid all the waking titan stuff and we converted the audio to text using special methods?
Btw if anyone else is interested: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/220610518_MP4Stego_steganography_in_MPEG-4_videos
Damnit, if i was at work, i could run that image for word recog
Actually just looking, its numbers and letters
Wait a minute, i need to run those symbols by gate code symbols...
@fringe notch if you find anything give it to me for the steganography tests.
Btw I'm currently converting the audio from the extracted wav to ascii like we did back in Waking Titan to get the voice message, no doubt the used the same method twice.
The problem is, noise layer and fragmentation layers are truly tricky to take apart
there are shadow images from one symbol
Funny thing is, i could take a image and make it look like that
Just not so easy to put back together
So , I took 1:03 to 1:09 and seems its a video in odd pacing. Rewind it and replay it at a faster speed
Huh
Man, I want to kiss whoever build this video
these kinds of puzzles rock
What gets me is why would he have created this at 2:41 in the morning?
No other information or data from the initial history almost like it was purposely wiped and left with only specific information?
in the morning... tomorrow?
Yeah? I mean it may be the 16th here but I just downloaded that video like 30mins ago when it would be like just before 11am for me.
Huh, I noticed that too
See that's my timestamp.
Everything else was wiped except the forged date?
Maybe we have to wait for another piece of the puzzle at the time before we can continue?
Yup
Yeah replaying the video at rapid speeds, you see imagines in motion, and distortion, it not just distorted images, its distorted video
HOLD ON
Its almost like a preview video
The hell is up with the framerate?
That's a stupidly specific number to have 0.01?
Speed it up to 1
Yeah thats why I was speeding it up, its super slow
When you run it super fast, im noticing more shapes
like way more
I'm starting to see things 😂
Yeah but most standard formats publish at a rate of 60 frames per second exactly, to have the decimal there doesn't make sense unless it was intentional.
Thats because there are background shapes punkts
when you play it rapidly, there is a sequence of video for sure, then images, like example shots
then some are just to distorted for me to understand
What if it's not distorted? What if it's like just a really compressed trailer or leak video?
I wouldn't put it past them
that's the spectogram, btw... I don't think there's anything useful in the video? the video is way too compressed to get anything useful out of it
They literally added "REM SLEEP" to waking Titan bc so many of us were staying up all night driving ourselves insane figuring it all out.
In one snippit i know i see something, a person
seems to be some kind of a cut from a trailer. It has the similar white flash
Well whatever it is, im sure we will all gobble up the content, whatever it is
might be just the garbled teaser for an upcoming trailer, so we might just need to wait
waiting titan all over again
Because they know we would sit her overlooking the obvious, so I'm gonna decompress it if I can
Nah. Keep in mind that the internal just updated today/yesterday. Time between internal being pushed to public has usually been a few days, max 1 week
What timezone is Hello Games in?
But yea. There could be a mini-ARG during this time. I don't see why they would do that tho
@haughty karma UK standard time I guess
What city they based in?
Guildford
Now where is that screenshot
SO! This is the current countdown based on their time and posting for the forged date in the video.
So expect another piece of the puzzle sometime in the next ^
just now seeing the video, has anyone dug into the audio portion yet?
Looks like some people have above
Wouldn't the thumbnail have changed too? All the previous big updates have had new art to go with them right?
Interesting.. Desolation update?
Wtf?? New alien race? New gek style?
Yeah definitely 100%
Another one??
Ya know I've always had an idea of a new area on the outside of the galaxy called the outer rim or something, it would be an area where HG would be free to add new planet types and variety without having to destroy people's bases, it would also be more dangerous and rewarding
Just kinda a risky stretch of dangerous space
Like the opposite of going to the center would be going to the outer rim
looks like a pixellated version of Gonzo from the muppet show
If this update is called "desolation" it might align with that idea somewhat
No, in my opinion the gameway need a wipe, shes wiped destroyng all procedural generation, resetting the universe again by bring new generationis ok
If it is called desolation then reset incoming folks
I would like a reset
And I haven’t finished the main story yet
Just I understand a lot of folks won't be too keen on having their bases reset
If this is true it's a bold move by HG. Game pass users happily going about their business and boom RESET
I have one shitty base so I kinda don’t care for that
Though on the other hand, a lot of people with cool bases have said that they would gladly sacrifice their bases in exchange for new stuff
Watch Desolation being a placeholder name and the real name is No Man’s Sky Chapter 2
I didn’t know that
Wasn’t beyond chapter 3?
Yeah next was 2.0
Desolation does vibe with the skull emoji at least. curious why there's no new art for that though
What it is? Ship??
Honestly, desolation has got to be the single coolest update name ever
Wait no, beyond was 2.0 my bad
Wait no, beyond was 2.0 my bad
@sullen hornet yea, 2.0
Desolation probably just refers to story stuff. Particularly remembrance, with atlas being alone up until it dies. Doesn’t necessarily mean “reset”
desolation sounds sick
Desolation sounds edgy (in the good way)
The abyss was a cool name too
Desolation is a pretty strong word. IF it's true I'd be surprised if it didn't have a big impact on the universe. Don't know about you but without a reset 'Desolation' doesn't have the same impact.
Let's keep our hype in check tho
I'm just gonna assume this is gonna be a huge bug fix
pmuch all im hoping for
I think we should hold off on this Desolation thing until we get secondary confirmation from another user
Yea we don’t want a 2016 launch day to happen again
so close to getting a living ship, bring more!
Nah just bug fixes
bruh
if summer update is just bug fixes that would be annoying
i hope not lol
Desolation first objective: - Visit three knowledge stones
No Man's Sky:Desolation Update 3.0
Patch notes
-really cool bug fixez
-removed whipping plants
so anyone else actually have an Xbox and can confirm the Desolation image?
Desolation second objective: - Visit a V’kyenn, Gek, and Korvax system
Hang on the mrs has an xbox I'll boot it up
the OP on that reddit post said they found it on the Deals page
Desolation in reality it’s gonna be the Next gen update that will also bring a reset
OH SHIT
If it's appearing in the deals page could it potentially be a dlc?
What?
Time to pack our things to our freighters lol
I just got mine
NMS is on sale currently
Can anyone confirm the desolation thing besides the reddit posts?
Someone with Xbox please check
@random grail is checking
Holy crap
daaaaaaaaaang
maaaaaaad
There we go people
Wait I have to see it with my eyes
Update/dlc tomorrow?
hype hype
Maybe just another tease. Maybe
There's no way they'd have something like this in the store unless if it's really close to releasing
lemme quickly check ps
lol HG always lets something slip
Xbox Store > Deals Page > Games Tab
Lol remember the exomech leak?
lol I think it was NEXT, they had uploaded the update webpage like a day or two before it came out and took it down quickly
I remember the night before atlas rises came out the entire patch notes got leaked
@random grail nice, thanks for checking!
yeah pretty much everything except foundation
It has a different art on the Italian Xbox store
Almost
👍 👍 👍 👍
Since when has desolation been appearing?
Today
@sinful geyser mind sharing?
the reddit post was 36 minutes ago
What
A big thank you to everyone who has helped confirm the desolation thing! Amazing teamwork!
No Mans Sky: Wario Returns
WEH
I’m proud of this community
Desolation wow, this gonna be fun
Any ideas on what they mean by desolation?
well
I know they've been teasing a new threat
Perhapc connected to the atleas's death?
i keep hearing the Bob Dylan song in my head, Desolation Row
Hey guys I'm the reddit OP, sorry I couldn't answer, i was new to the discord and had to wait 10 minutes. Literally just loaded up the store randomly just under an hour ago and it was there!
Bruh if they add in like a new world evil and some new story line that would be amazing
I think there will definitely be some kind of new threat and am hoping it also entails a universe reset
We are gonna get a Raid
okay right, hello boys, this isnt a new account i got banned from this server 2 years ago for such a petty thing im pretty sure. Think i @ all the mods and then just got perma banned which seems a bit extreme, but yeah, I have followed nms since launch and I did all the challenges of WT including the twitch stream and I got an atlas pass 4, so yeah it seems a bit harsh i got banned like that. But yeah, its not about that, its about this right now. and i just want to say if i get banned with this account so what, this is to hype not to really. I have kept my cool but now kettles off and its hype time boys
Desolation:
😍 Every planet is now a desert planet
🌵Desert planets now only contain rocks
🔥 Every planet now has extreme weather and sentinels
Dungeons maybe?
perhaps
Yes go look up
This has to be a big update for it to be titled on the store surely. Correct me if I'm wrong but Exo-mech and living ship didn't get titled updates on the store did they?
Jeez, I slept four four hours. Wha'd I miss?
will the update drop tomorrow?
@random grail honsetly, i imagine so man
New update got leak
or will it be a few more days
Wait has anyone checked the hellogames YouTube channel?
if it drops tommorow thats just pure hype
honestly cant wait, just got back into the game and now an updates happening XD
it'd be kinda hard for it not to drop tomorrow at this point
Wait has anyone checked the hellogames YouTube channel?
@bleak gorge gonna check it
Right remember how beyond was quite hyped... what IF they went the total opposite and boom massive update tomrorow, no announcement just released
nothing on youtube
Thanks @sinful geyser
Is it a coincidence we got the cryptic vid, the desolation leak, and the fact that tomorrow is the 16th?
i checked
Can confirm
Nothing on youtube and also checked https://www.nomanssky.com/desolation-update but nothing
i tried to change the url on the nms website to match desolation update but got nothing
oh snap
Holy holy
We are on a hunt bois
is there a way to check for unlisted vids?
Assemble the team bois
like visions?
this is incredible
NMS presents: Hunt for the Update
You’ll need to link bud
Desolation leak?
ITS OFFICIAL HYPE TIME LADS
Yep
maybe the updates leaked in there
Contain the hype
My bet is the vid Sean dropped is a garbled version a trailer that will release tomorrow
Im PUMPED UP
We're probably gonna have to wait a good while for anything
before every update sean talks about how great the community is for an hour or so, thats normally a bit of warning for when something drops
@rotund perch yeah, the way the scenes in the video fade into eachother is exactly like if they sped up a trailer
has no one clipped it frame by frame yet?
@bleak gorge I'm 90% sure it is just that
Yeah
Contain the hype
@sinful geyser too late, the train has left lads
They're gonna stealth drop the update and trailer tomorrow I'm calling it
Wait I’m in Australia so it’s already the 16th for me, when is it the 16th for Hello games?
im pretty certain the video is screenshots at least, if not a trailer
@sinful geyser too late, the train has left lads
@random grail I’m having flashbacks of the Hype Train from Internet Historian’s video about the game
@teal rivet Yeah I also get 5 hours a night. Mainly because I work early, then stay up playing games.
@sinful geyser yes!!
i would imagine we're getting a trailer tomorrow and the release next week, like next and beyond
it's the 16th now for HG, source: I'm in the UK
Gonna bet on the server crashing on the day the update comes around
@stable igloo with desolation in the store I feel like release is very immenent
Boys I live in Australia and it’s the 16th already, ima go enjoy the update now 😉
same @random grail
it's the 16th now for HG, source: I'm in the UK
@random grail can confirm, I’m in Italy
europe is too powerful, they have discovered time travel
https://gyazo.com/da82e549aa9b1874471cfa63eb6f9475
this really does look like a back of a shuttle on a blue grass planet to me, one tree/bush on the left
like each circle is a seperate thruster
If yall are looking for something TODAY, Death Stranding is really great immersion.
When do the weekend missions usually start btw?
Bois, ya wanna do a reaction to the trailer in VC when it drops?
@rotund perch late friday uk time
I think they're timing release with the next mission
But I'm completely distracted by Sean tweeting....
do you think it would be possible for them to do a universe reset but make the old universe still accessible?; like different gamemode options?
@rich elm like a dlc with different terrain gen?
prolly a pain in the arse to code
they wouldnt do that
What If desolation is a dlc?
unlikely
why reset the universe and keep the old one?
do you think it would be possible for them to do a universe reset but make the old universe still accessible?; like different gamemode options?
@rich elm like what Bungie will do with the next Destiny 2 dlc?
Did you guys see this!!!
Your late
It has a store entry? Do the other updates have that?
theyd have to store 36 quintillion planets, no ones got the effort for that
FUCCCC
@ionic scarab Yep! HYPE
With Crossplay now in the game, now would be the perfect time to reset everything and have everyone truly in the same universe.
honestly, i reckon tommorow itll get announced like next week
so trailer tommorow
release next week
@rotund perch some do apparently
something like that; since that would be a major thing holding them back from doing a universe reset/ changing proc gen at all
I thought an update wasn't coming guys, I'm so glad to be wrong
I expected this update to be shown off on the Series X on the 23rd
they wouldn't have to store all of that; it's procedural, isn't it?
What if this is a small update and the biggest is in August?
Desolation to me definietly sounds like a reset
@sinful geyser also can you describe how the art is different on the italian store?
I expected this update to be shown off on the Series X on the 23rd
@uncut harness I think the showcase is for the first party games
desolation could mean a lot of things
@sinful geyser also can you describe how the art is different on the italian store?
@patent shale it’s the Beyond update art
ahh rightio okie
I don't think they'd do like a full in game war
desolation:
the state of a place that is empty or where everything has been destroyed:
the universes across platforms are different, aren't they?
its defintely a combat update
Why not? A war would be sick
Or a reset
My bet is we get some new combat mechanics, terrain gen, and structures
and i hope for a reset
@patent shale Atlas dies, the simulation reboots
universe is the same since NEXT I think
@random grail or that
Someone else confirmed on reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/hrzn7s/and_confirmation_go_nms_next_update/
if the atlas die the simuation dies with it
@random grail that was my thoughta
Then who would be the new atlas
Thoughts*
Bruh we know
honestly, imagine if that leak from 4chan is true, which it kinda is looking like it might be
orbit planets
mayhaps
Let’s contain ourselves for a sec
Inb4 atlas shuts down and the game gets separated into 2 versions. One reset but with more variation, one with the old galaxy and bases.
Instead of getting too hype, try find more clues
but weren't they shooting for august?
@tawdry tusk they are gonna release it in august, maybe the 16th of august
The clue was the 4chan post
Oh wait check steamdb
@rotund perch I mean that is almost certainly what’s happening. I’m sure the DLC thing that was made awhile ago is going to be to use the new generation stuff
@bleak gorge Yeah I know what you're getting at but Desolation is a powerful word for an update. Whatever this is, the hype is going to be justified.
Oh wait check steamdb
@rotund perch someone checked it and there was something new
New steam depot as of today
A war that leads to a reset
I don’t remember who did it but I saw it on twitter
@sinful geyser that feels kinda unlikely at this point, given both how vlose to updates they've been teasing stuff lately, and the fact that it's now in the xbox menu
Along with the new Xbox store entry I'd say the update is very near
honestly im going in
Why aren't the youtubers talking about this?
Like less than 24 hours near
@random grail oh yeah 100%, I’m as hype as you are boiii!!!
I have a feeling Sean will post another tweet tomorrow which may be a bit more revealing than today’s and the emoji
Eat a sock like the Elite dangerous plandings guy
do you think they would intentionally leak the name like that?
honestly will cause im pretty certain this leak is correct
Not hg but Microsoft can screw up
i feel like, seeing as tomorrow's the 16th and stuff is appearing on stores, we'll probably either get a release or a reveal tomorrow
@uncut harness ever since cobra went to the dark side things haven’t been the same 😓
@uncut harness are there even any NMS youtubers anymore? L plays stopped covering. Cobra TV
Yeah some guy at MS is gonna get an ear-full after this one
Again with the depot and store page I think we're getting a stealth release
