oh lord xD
Nice
s n e k n c n o n d
Can this become the general theories channel after this investigation us done?
eh, maybe
Ok what more have you found?
this channel is temporary until such a time as we think it should be permanent
Ok
and if things go nuclear, we can always pull the old WT channel out of the archive
Maybe after wards have a poll asking if it should become a theories channel and conspiracy stuff?
👍
you take the pill, youre not supposed to talk to it.
confused stonks
oh, and let me cover my own ass here
👀
hmm
💀
ass covering begins

MOD NOTE: This channel is automatically SPOILER ORIENTED. As such, if you do not want potential NMS spoilers, don't go here c:
S C H R O D I N G E S F O O L I S T Y P I N G
just trying to avoid new users ranting at me about spoilers 😛
Yup
ah makes sense
Good idea
always happens
Looked at the in game derelict for clues. Nothing
Good morning everyone! So.. i see this is getting serious.. Did we rule out the chance the glyphs is just gibberish?
to some extent
Besides we having fun
we believe its not a word, but a cipher and/or a URL
since I got off work two hours ago, and love me a good ARG, I'm assuming the glyphs are a lead until proven otherwise
Perhaps
We've mostly ruled out the possibility of it being a word
The only way it could be one is if we've majorly fucked up so far, but theres a good chance we have
All molded into 1
That seems to be a case
Cause the first and 9th symbols are more similar to a Pigpen I then a Greek G
Because it has both greek letters, elder furthark and maybe some hebrew
Weve found alot of potential languages
I don't think it has greek in it
OK, I've just extracted every image from the video
Letter 1 looks greek
Greek, Cyrillic, Durvak Runes, Pigpen Cipher, Hebrew, and others are what weve gad so far
@thorn fjord dude awesome wirk
like, every frame
First letter looks like galactic alphabet
LEtter 1 is more likely Pigpen
holy crap Codex that's dedication xD
It's not cyrilic
Yup
phoenician maybe?
First letter is almost certainly a Pigpen I
I've been thinking if the glyphs are originated from series like Dark or Black Mirror (highly unlikely though right?). I mean i've been thinking since yesterday all possibilities. This is one of my wildest. Because the whole void thing reminded me of Dark. But yeah.. Just saying this in case someone find this useful
Put the letter I into there
I found a tool to do it, wasn't going to do it manually, heh
you get the first symbol
👁️ WT Dat You? 👀
Pigpen Cipher I
then I'll consolidate all we found last night
Ok
Oh wow
I've been informed by fellow mods that calling it WT might cause unnecessary hype, so I've been avoiding it lol
@turbid cobalt amazing!
What is WT?
@lyric karma yea probs avoid that
Haha, nah we know for sure that's hit on the head anyway right?
Try other letters
yea, I believe Anashel said at the conclusion of Waking Titan Season 2 that that was the end of their involvement with it
theres a CHANCE that the <'s are pigpen U's, but its unlikely as << would be UU
Yeah 100%! Doesn't make it any less exciting though!! Hype. And puzzles
that's not to say that HG can't continue the lore there
someone said there is a dot between the second <
but I'm always amped for a good puzzle and cryptic stuff c:
@chrome cradle There is? good to know
pigpen uses dots alot
Hmmm
Of it's a pigpen cypher then the first one is I
don't take anything as fact until we have clearer imagery 😛
The second glyph could he 2 U's but that seems unlikely
Ok that's not it
i dont think so either
If theres a dot in the second < then its IUY
Try numbers
Yea thought were on to something
I doubt its a Gamma symbol
But is it this cipher? What about last symbol?
I mean, we're tearing apart single frames of a video, feel free to follow whatever feels like a lead @twin token c:
as the lines in gamma arent equal link
I'll be right back
Im on the side of letters 1 and 9 are pigpen i's
Then its 2 I's
Is there a way we could get an !glyphs command that'd show the image of the glyphs?
as far as I'm aware, those are the only repeating characters, right?
@turbid cobalt I'd have to cook up an alias, and I don't even know if Gunter can see this channel
true
Oooooo we have our own channel now!? Thanks @lyric karma
yea nope he can't interact with this channel
The hype train has wrecked
Damn why I gotta be working! 😦 Got a meeting at 10 and then I can try to help, if its not solved by then 😅
Now it's hype freighter
Many are injured in the Hype train crash
Its a terrifying scene
And i'm to lazy to continue writing this fake news article about a hype train wreck
Letters 1 and 9 are the only repeating ones
Glyph 2 (《)
ok there are 2 main possibilitie and those are: 1. its just a joke and HG is testing us out and 2. that HG had put there something that nobody is suposed to see and its secret
Is used as speech Mark's in some langauges
I’m going to bed hopefully it’s solved by the time I wake up
@icy torrent probably not
Nothing secret is every put anywhere that nobody is supposed to see - that much is for sure haha
lemme see if this worked
heya Matthew
!hypefleet
odds are this isnt a joke
and i doubt it's a joke either
Whale 🐳 ❤️
HG knows us
DAGUMMIT
O doubt it's a joke
ANGRY GRAH
have some grahberry, you are not yourself when you're hungry
@icy torrent oh god
wait a sec i will bring here somebody who can help us
but i need to pray he is online
I have a freind whos good with decoding but he sleep right now
We need to remember CEN or CEM as well
Has the update been Datamined for anything? Also can someone post the CEM image?
i heavily doubt its galactic alphabet
@cedar smelt do you remember how to get Gunter to see commands in new channels? I'm totally drawing a blank on it
ive used enough enchanting tables to know what galactic alpabet looks like
and everyone's offline except meeeeee x.x
these are the letters: ᔑ ʖ ᓵ↸ᒷ⎓⊣⍑╎⋮ꖌꖎᒲリ𝙹!¡∷ᓭℸ ̣ ⚍⍊∴ ̇/||⨅
@lyric karma Haha ❤️ Does he have perms in here? I think he has his own rank right? Just need to make sure he has access to everything in here
we are pretty sure its a mashup of languages
yea I've set his perms so he can read and write messages but can't get him to fire a message in here xD
Ew
maybe I have to restart him
that sounds... odd
Does he need manage messages to?
am i really the only one who doesnt have any role XD
oh he might need that
You will get them soon friend, at some point
Loads of works using I as first and 9th letter, out of 10.
Most fitting one is probably something like Idealistic
doesnt ring any bell
hmmm
Actually Idealistic doesn't work cause that has three I's 🙃
i havent noticed
DAMN YOU GUNTER
@vague obsidian
@vague obsidian say I like glyphs
In The Air would also fit
...
maybe
I'm just stabbing with no real education behind it except the two I's so probably not even close
okay thank god those still work
@lyric karma You could try syncing this channels perms with the category. If that's set up right it should do the job, but that relies heavily on it being set up right haha
Interchain Internship Intervisit
I know it's set right, but Gunter's a bit rogue compared to the other bots
we need a specific word, assuming the 1 and 9 symbols are "i", that has no other repeating characters
ill try
Yeah there's a few of those... Interchain Internship
ok sorry i saw only 9
don't apologise! we got this
I wonder
interloper
what if this is two ciphers?

If it's true that I is character 1 and 9, and if it's true we're looking for an English word/phrase then all the options are here: https://www.crosswordsolver.org/solve/i-------i-/0
50 matching words. Crossword clue answers with the letters i???????i?
pigpen for the start, and a Caesarian Shift for the alpha?
hmmm
back
if that's the case, it's possible the repeated glyphs could be any vowel
did we get the dum dum bot working?
as vowels most often repeat
But, it could be a completely random series of letters to create a bit.ly link or similar. Assuming that this is going to actually lead us anywhere...
this standup meeting I'm in doesn't seem to end, work should know I have more important things to be getting on with 😏
Haha @thorn fjord I have a meeting in 10 😩 Hopefully not lasting too long
oh wait Codex is former staff, @thorn fjord do you remember how to get Gunter functional in a new channel?
Haha my pin doesn't play ball either
in the air is the most plausible
afraid not @lyric karma, not a clue
craaaaaaaaap
in the air
In The Air makes sense - but it doesn't take us anywhere. Unless it really is just a tiny little puzzle for fun.
Otherwise we should expect it to take us somewhere like a website
hmm
that is a very anticlimactic word for an update title
That's assuming it's a update title
assuming it is
Isentropic?
Could be!
omg what about Isomorphic
I actually REALLY like isentropic as an idea
isomorphic needs 2 repeating symbols
because entropy is a great rabbit hole
Can't be isomorphic this ^ lol
ok
Only letter that can repeat in theory is I
but isentropic is interesting
i have not a single clue what that word means
hmmst
i just get more confused after looking at dictionary
i will look for some ancient languages
will
i did, but not all of them matches nordic runes
10 oldest languages still spoken these days hmm
not the ones ive seen so far anyway
did any of them match?
idk
the sideways hourglass is one
iam looking
hebrew?
A A A A A A
Ok then im gonna go with its multiple languages mashed together then
idk i have no idea about solving these things, i just saw some of you got excited over at nms spoiler then decided to board the train
@granite sierra lder futhark is close

isentropic is a greek word (Ισοτροπικός) which means uniformity in all directions
be back soon
ok
I'm gonna search for other glyphic languages
oh
its the same
oooooh
🤐
What
💀 lolling
i took shots of each frame up to the reveal of Desolation and then overlaid them and adjusted the opacity
i searched runes and first thing was runescape
But d isnt repeated
The distortion makes it impossible to make out the word up to the end, until then the distortion is removed and the word is made clear
Most of the static and the the reveal is in the same spot tho
Maybe try this?
but cant find <<
@steady torrent really hoping you're wrong this time, but damn if that isn't pretty convincing
oh
He said 《This is how its used》
Similar
But not the same tho
@lyric karma but gaian glyphs dont match up
I really hope its something
Or ill feel like an idiot for getting this hyped up
dont feel like idiot im hyped too
maybe the real answer is the friendship we make along the way
@chrome cradle the real glyphs were the friend we made along the way
it also matches

@granite sierra what does?
friendship with number of letters
:v
if we dont find out what it is at least we will have ne friends
could it be egyptian?
no
Why would hg use Egyptian
i have something
if this is just a transpositional chiffre, we could go at it by either brute force or a dictionary attack
Has there been any references in the game or through arg to real world places
My guess is the languages will be from England
Since that’s where hg is based
hmm it isnt cyrilic
the last 4 seconds of the video is just black with a sound, has anyone analysed that yet?
Spectrogram is probs too easy
Hmm it is quite strange it didn’t end like all the other update trailers
let me see if I can extract for you
ok thx
lol I think that warping below the DESOLATION bit is the video editor throwing the NO SIGNAL at us again
oh no
that's some found footage shit.
Hmm it is quite strange it didn’t end like all the other update trailers
@willow sun you are right this is strange shit
how do other update trailer end?
I need to hop on and make sure there aren’t clues aboard derelicts
i suppose this is doesnt help right?
hmm
dont think ive seen any random symbols on derelict
@thorn fjord ok thx
think its just in the "glitch" overlay they used multiple times, spotted it 2-3 times aswell
Usually updates end with the atlas over a valley
@thorn fjord I spy "FILM", CEN, and what appears to be "HA"
oh yeah
that's Sean laughing at us.

Anagram
answer meeee
uhh 2 minutes
Sorry not on pc
ok
Where did in the rain come from
How
This is an in game arg
We've literally got that now
This was combat relatee
We have all that
It got cross play right
It got the weekly missions right
I'm just saying it's ticking off the boxes for it so far
August update looks evej more likely
Cause Sean said
More significant updates planned for this year in the desolation notes
Sean did tweet a meme about a big summer update
really?
Yh like a day or two before the skull
I reckon we will get something in the weekly missions today
approx 1:05 of video, this is part of our glyph string, correct?
new mission types
Yh
yes that's part of it
The end of it
the sideways hourglass being the most prevalent there
symbol 6-8
There is a dot below
Hourglass
thx
and the sideways hourglass is letter s with ` in nordic rune, but that one does not have a dot
oh boy, here we go with the spectro c:
I think people have done it but no results
tell me on what second i need to look
The original vid only had 2
ok
Part of the distortion effect is to warp and shift the contents of the frames, which is why you see the "desolatidn"
pffff
no theres nothing there
around 1:05 there is a frame where in the very bottom center seems to be another block of either ciphers or plaintext, but i cant get the yt bar away (ree)
nu mahnss ske : desolatidn
So No Man's Sky and Desolation appear distorted & shifted right to the point of illegibility until finally they're revealed as such
yea that's what I'm seeing :/
That is, clarified & shifted back to the left
Should also mention shifted vertically apparently as part of the distortion effect
Are there any decals in game that look like these letters
the deep blue frames are all of the same scene, distored
keep an eye on the left side - they all have a yellow splotch in about the same place
There are 12
sorry
same place
This has to be a clue no way they left that in the centre
I'm wondering if the glyphs isn't the only thing in the static frames
It’s not
The ending two seconds of the trailer (the original static) contains what looks like multiple scenes from a future trailer
the distortion is mostly horizontal, which isn't too tricky for someone to straighten up if they know how to work photoshop
it can also look like the scenes from the promotional video before the game was released
Has anybody translated the glyphs yet
Where did in the rain come from
||the glyphs are desolation 🤐 ||
No
I hope not
Also I'm back
Nice
cant be, first and last cipher are the same
Ok he said he'll look on it
I'm back! So we still think there's something in this, or resolved to the fact it's just "Desolation"?
What about Aztec language?
NO MATTHEW, IT CAN'T BE 😭
why would it just say "desolation" again?
how is this supposed to be desolation if the characters dont match?
D is repeated twice
No its not aztec
the idea behind Desolation would be that it's warped to the point of LOOKING like glyphs
Well I'd argue how is it supposed to be anything? It could just be artistic fuckery from someone in the trailer department who thought some random glyphs would look cool before writing "Desolation"
hah, possibly. I just hope it's something
Me too!
honestly, doesn't make a whole lot of sense that desolation would warp into very clean, sharp glyph shapes if it was distorted
Wouldn't be surprised if it went in-game in some way, with the weekend events
did a similar shot appear anywhere in the trailer? its surprisingly clear for it to appear in the static (although it doesnt really help with anything right now)
are there any specific frames anyone wanted to look at? I have them all here
without the damn youtube bar 😛
Just seems too coinsidental there's 10 glyphs, 10 letters in Desolation and they morph into one another. I hope I'm wrong though 😄
@thorn fjord could you tell me what has happened so far in the weekend missions
@willow sun I've missed the last few, so I'm out of the loop >.<
I heard of some sweetroot collecting.
But what about story wise and Ariadne
Idk
This is another look at the symbols
That’s probs cleanest
This one
the pinned one is also drawn on to outline shapes
Yes
Pinned is my interpretation, the second for example might be completly wrong
in that blue shot I posted above it looks more like a loop
tbh i don't think they're meant to be glyphs at all. just heavy distortion artifacts from lossy signal until signal is boosted enough at end to deliver the message that this is...No Man's Sky: Desolation
such a big effort for such a small thing though
part of the artsy fartsy fun of spooooky trailer and all
unless you were, say, looking for secrets, you would never ever see these glyphs
It doesn't add to the casual trailer viewing experience, unless you are looking for hidden clues
Yo has Sean ever tweeted something in a different language
if you stare at this part of the spectrogram long enough, it's the Hello Games logo face lol
hahahaha
or a santa claus
Haha fluffy you're going cray
note: absolutely sarcasm, I just miss tearing the spectros apart on the tapes
😆
imo it would only add much for secret hunters if it actually turned out to be portal glyphs to some funky system with a cool derelict freighter or something, but these don't resemble those at all
my connection is being mischievous today
I think we are trying to solve a puzzle that we don't have all the parts of yet
I think this was always grasping at straws, but we want something to do in the wee hours of the morning
yeah, it has been pretty fun
plus it's a spooky update anyway so we might've expected something to be there 😛
I still have the feeling at the back of my head that hiding these glyphs seems like a lot of work for something that equals to nothing
HG know they have a fan base that latch on to the smallest detail like Charlie looking for pepe silvia. They've embedded codes in videos countless times before.
It'd be a dick move to say the least for them to just randomly embed a string of symbols for no reason.
Artists like to have fun though too - if you ever watch the title credits of a show like American Horror Story it's littered with crap you could spend months and months picking apart - but it's usually just the artists having fun haha
HG often revealed later updates this way
damn, I was hoping I had something there
counted all the static bursts expecting 16, got 27 instead lol
Have HG ever embedded something in a "HG" video? They've done a shit ton of stuff through Waking Titan - but none of that was ever No Mans Sky branded - it broke the fourth wall towards the end, but the two were always very seperate
HG themselves never specifically embedded any thing into any of their own material that I know of. Exception being 1 tweet from Sean which played into the ARG at the time
(Not saying they couldn't now, but I don't think "they've done before" is valid)
Has Sean ever done something in a different language
no
Not that I know of
unless you count translating NMS into different languages for various foreign language releases
i.e. French, German, etc.
didnt we get info about the nautical update through another trailer or is my mind failing me? been some time
same 😄
theory: derelict freighters popping up in NMS is ||the Abyss leaking through||
what time do the weekend missions start
nothing
nothing. just torn between it being something, and being nothing lol
we're thinking it's just a distorted DESOLATION
failing that
it might be something
Update for the pins:
Community efforts have ascertained the following:
- The glyphs in the trailer could be something
- The glyphs in the trailer could be nothing
Thank you all for your efforts 
Haha 😂
also might want to recheck the pinned glyhps, the last one is cut off in the preview (until you click it)
Ah yeah you need to click it - I think that's just Discord being a moron 😦
yea that's just discord doin a dumb
Damn
Hopin its something
Why go through extra hassle to make the glyphs tho? It's not like they were hoping we wouldn't find the update name
It would be really nice if it was
I hope
Someone email sean a puc of thi channel and tell him to make an Arg lol
They hype is here and people want more waking titan
You might have answered your own question though. "Why go to the effort". Maybe they didn't go to any effort, and just picked out a few random symbols and that's why they don't correlate with Desolation - it's so hard to know lol
they do - but they're sadistic 😂 sean knows that every time he tweets haha
Yup
Anything?
Wish he'd stop giving us heart attacks with cryptic tweets and secrets
Nothing new @granite sierra
Ok
He's the master of marketing
sean feeds on our confusion
I'll try to contact him. Should I?
lol good luck with that
One thing to be said for puzzles and ARGs - I made friends here who I've never really spoken about NMS with - just puzzles lol
FACTS
the real answer is the friendship you make along the way
I just shitpost lore theories and try to steer the hypetrain
It was Cloverfield that introduced me to ARGs, I'm still hoping they're still working on another film because I need more puzzles
Haha! I went and worked part time in an Escape Room last year to fulfill my puzzling needs
amazing 😄
to work in an escape room, is the interview "solve this"?
The whole industry thought they were so revolunarily hiding stuff on their social media. I was like... this is old hat
Haha I'd never done an escape room before I applied there! Done tons now though - once you get in that industry they all invite you for playtests and stuff
I quit my "main job" last year for a bit and took it full time and ran it for about 6 months. But I missed my old job too much and came back just before covid. Thank god I did
ooof, yeah
lol I lost my warehouse job a few months before the Rona, and now I'm considering changing career paths to being a chauffeur
Escape Rooms dont tend to pay tax, so that would have been me on the breadline haha
Aw no way Fluffy! 😦
Chauffeur sounds cool though - good opportunity to try something different
yea but I'm delivering for a major pizza chain full time to pay the bills, which is surprisingly effective
so I'm not struggling that much
but I realized last night that I just really enjoy driving
😄
so I'm considering pursuing driving people around xD
Yes! 100%! I love driving and obviously working from home the last 5 years, I never get to do it much! 😅 Always figured I'd like to be a taxi driver
But a chauffeur sounds far better
I just don't want to drive limos lol
i have ptsd from dad trying to teach me how to drive. dad's not the best teacher around.
haha do you drive now?

oof :/ dad taught me on a manual and I've had a clutch in every car since xD
Haha! Manual is the only way in the UK - though automatics are becoming more popular
to this day i still feel a pang of fear just by sitting at the front, not even the driver's seat
oh well public transport it is
Aw man, I couldn't be without driving - you should give it another go sometime if you can bring yourself to it
not before dad's 6 feet underground i dont think so.
big oof
but thanks for the encouragement
think I might nuke this channel, and just make it again if we get something substantial
😦
feelsbadman
like I said, it's a temporary channel for tinfoil glyph stuff, and it's looking like it's just fancy artist artefacts in the video
Sad to say it, but I think that's the case
There's still there overarching question of why they made a glitched out teaser at all
There's still there overarching question of why they made a glitched out teaser at all
@lavish moon I guess it really feels the isolated/spooky vibe of the update
Hg will probably send us a cheeky clue
It fits the theme
I hope it's something, but other than the glyphs themselves we have nothing
Ye and I dunno what a 10 letter word could lead us to.
Bit.ly is 7 charcters
Portals are longer...
Checked pastebin too -it's 8
Hang on
I'm uploading all the frames to GDrive anyway, that way other folk can have a look through see if they find anything
I thought it was 9 letters
Nah Yama if you click on the thumbnail in the pins you'll see all 10
Discord just cut one off on us 😠
@thorn fjord thanks
I tried contacting Sean hope replays.
yeah, that's the other thing that's making us doubt the glyphs have any meaning
know what else is 10 letters?
What?
interloper
Oh
if we think of a constant shift key, it doesnt make sense since the letters wouldnt align
But there are not two letters repeating.
its either artisitc stuff or a puzzle, but not "desolation" IMO
Have somebody looked at Sean's comments? Maybe there's some clue.
I checked the update page, but nothing in the source code
we had a pretty good look through it last night, nothing that we could find
Negative
where did you find that alphabet you posted earlier? some letters looked similar if flipped
Who?
It's bugging me because the symbol with the X in it [x] I've seen it somewhere befoer. But I can't think where
probably
this one @cedar smelt?
Yes! I've seen it somewhere for sure
But I've been playing a lot of Uncharted recently 😂
Me too it looks familiar.
yeah, that's exactly what I said yesterday 🤔
It is really familiar
and the 4th
I could be thinking of uncharted 4 puzzles
Hmmm
I think maybe it's just a common symbol
I think it's probably some logo somewhere
Nice
(well, rotated a bit 😛 )
So d?
Yes
and kenaz
Guys we are getting somewhere!
Nah I'm sorry
like, I might just recognise it because I see the visual studio logo all the time 🤷♂️
hahha
Those glyphs are definitely something
Ok we are not
dont think the alphabet leads anywhere, would still make up gibberish in the end i think
There so visible
brb, I need bacon
And so over the top
Bacon 😋
Mmm
What?
Dwarwish runes?
from the hobbit
Ehm
Idk any
Star trek? Star wars? Idk
In some ciphers, some runes can mean more than one letter too. which might debunk my "10 letter word" theory. (pic attached is as an example, not related)
We need some professional cryptologist for this lol
this is norse, might give it a quick shot by rotating some of them
I tried. Nothing
But the audio seems reversed
It is but nothing
Something with numbers?
Maybe how much sides do the glyphs have
Like for eg the first glyph
Has 2 sides
So it could be B
Do you understand?
doesnt work out, checked it earlier
The riff at the end
Ok
there are two letters with 4 sides
The melody
points dont seem to work aswell
Like in the last 3 seconds
Is g sharp, c, f
Don't know if thay means anything
It just sicks out
I think not
From the notes you really can't create any word
Something with this number?
Maybe?
Planet count?
I tried
only thing i could think of without plainly using another alphabet is calculating the degrees of each letter individually and then calculate their position in the plaintext alphabet with modulo 16, but thats borderline esoteric
If you can try that
I though of some other game
Maybe something with Joe danger
Or the last campfire
Maybe
Yes it does
its nothing, you wouldnt even know how to add up the different degrees for certain letters, more of a fun thought
so rule that out
Ok
campfire could work though, little bit of cross promotion going on 😄
But these are 2 completely separate communities. How would that work
Although its release IS coming up
even if it was for another game, we still wouldn't be any further on lol
No Man's Sky 2
No
😄
Electric boogaloo
Sorry @granite sierra just bought my ticket for the hype train, no refunds

yea I ended up pinging the Dr about it, turns out he has to manually enable Gunter to see channels
Ahhh least you're not going crazy
lol nah, everything is going as planned c;
But this glyphs arent
But we didnt plan them did we
No we didnt
also why are we hypefleeting
I'm going to make a call to call them Runes instead of glyphs for clarity.
They definitely look much more like dwarfish tree runes
We are hyping
No reason
ok for anyone who wants to investigate here's the trailer broken down into images: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/153IXmNdqME-ONTICNOl08hDcnPHdXixb?usp=sharing
The trailer itself is in there as well so you can view without the youtube UI
@cedar smelt you're right
@thorn fjord can you assemble them into a video for easier viewing?
o.o
Damnit I opened with my work account 🤦♂️
didn't even need to click that haha
I think everyone knows the URL
XcQ
haha
XcQ, no click u
I just click it cause it's a catchy song
what happens when you open with your work account @cedar smelt?
ohhhh haha!! I thought it was just the link to the trailer 😂
@thorn fjord Add its to the "Shared with me" part of our Google Drive
I'm lucky I have slow internet
ohhh yes
Which is OK - except G Suite admins can see all GDrive activity 👀
Thankfully I am one of the admins ,so nobody should check mine lol
But if they did.... lol
😔
God like determination @thorn fjord
I think my NMS is updated now. !hypefleet
"you want an admin to investigate my google drive? well i am an admin!"
haha I've done too much GDrive investigation this week
I'm still unsure about the outline of the second symbol, if it matters. more inclined to think it's a swirl too
agreed
yeah, after seeing some more of the shots I think so too
dunno what it is, but I've not been able to see the two arrows myself
Ok my mind is going crazy. Bye everybody
wait, so what picture are you guys looking at specifically
@cedar smelt no not Arabic.
ah
yeah
I mean that specific symbol
i'm looking for the image rn
And I'm still more inclined to think they are runes than glyphs
yeah, it's like it's burned into the video throughout
it's all the same runes/glyphs/somethings
credit to trailblazer
symbol #2 seems to look more like this
I saw someone outline it as a lambda knocked on its side
someone get me a meme of that guy looking at wood real close with the caption "hmm yes/this rune looks like rune"
Yea they look like the same set to me
not the best edit but it works
Yea
hmm
So....
words
i think we can rule out the portal adress right? since it would require them to prep one specific planet with extra stuff
its also not long enough
madman
guaranteed response within 2.3 minutes
If you want answers, you gotta ask questions
why
i don't know man don't ask me these things
ok
require them to prep one specific planet with extra stuff
I've said before that that's basically the only way they could really hide anything well, as it couldn't be found by looking through the files or anything.
And if not something like a portal address, what is it going to be? A 10 letter word... What good is that going to do us?
"Desolation" was the obvious conclusion, but the repeated symbol(s) don't fit that.
it doesn't rule it out entirely, could be a new dialling scheme
damnit woop stop being cryptic before they figure out we know something
we're not going to make any progress until we know where any code needs to be plugged in
once we know that, narrows the possibilities massively
prepping a planet with extra assets would make little sense concerning screcy since dataminers would find said assets easily i think
but then again, like adam said, we dont even know what to expect as an answer
Assets, yeah... But they could make some base, or put some messages there, without any new assets.
They could hide stuff, data mining is slow
They did that with melody of the egg
If it's going to start this weekend, then there's barely a day to datamine it
It may just be a meaningless set of symbols, just to be creepy, or suggest something deeper. Or it may be part of something we haven't got enough of yet.
add some trivial encoding so the usual tools don't work, and it'd be hidden for longer
all they've got to do is slow down some nerds, not keep the CIA out
You underestimate the "nerds" 😏
haha
CIA nerds
why do I have no decent roles here?! 😭
literally Former Discord Staff
n00b
sure am
wait were you part of ARG Experts?
that's what I mean, I uncovered all the w/are stuff 😂
...good enough
I'm surprised anyone can DM Sean in the first place
lies, I don't remember him being here for that
boom
I also started the server
YAY green, that's basically what I wanted 😛
xD
haha twins
I've had maaaaany names
Technically, I have both had and not had many nicknames
c R y P t I c
nah just a joke on Schroedinger
😆
nicknames in a superposition
I mean, the nick was given to me by Uzo, waaaaaaaaaaay back when
so I figured it was fine c:
I'm supposed to be working but I've done nothing this morning, I hate to think how much work time I've lost to NMS related stuffs
I have actually lost a phone due to Waking Titan
how?!
dropped it trying to moderate the server while at the warehouse and shattered the piss out of the screen
oh damn
Haha this is the first discord has distracted me in a long time. I nearly installed it on my phone if this kicked off
LITERALLY went to Cricket on my lunch and got a new phone
because I didn't want to miss anything xD
was it WT where some participants got sent a phone?
soooooooooomething like that
good times
I miss those damn radio stations
Yeah it had that and some notes and stuff in it didn't it
And ultraviolet lighting on the boxes
Ohhh and the hologram thing
I still have one of those lol
good times
@thorn fjord indeed
I remember talking to one of the dreamers in the last phase - wondering if they'd live or die
Scariest feeling ever
That last stage was all kinds of weird
inb4 we find out Sean is the father of the simulation we are living in now
we're all just dreamers
but seriously, another season of Waking Titan that ties into the missions in game would be pretty cool
@cedar smelt honestly I felt like they railroaded the dreamer extraction
there was significant group that wanted to answer incorrectly for Toby to see if it was possible to get the "bad end"
Haha wasn't it Zoid chatting with Toby though? He was never going to let that happen anyway
I believe so
But I didn't make sense of the last part of the story at all
same tbh
I remember for not understanding it though, the last video I was an emotional mess
It ran for a long time, so I imagine they didn't exactly know when it needed to end
They probably built a few exit points into the plot
I dunno! There was definitely a timing thing that wasn't sitting quite right. The whole W/ARE headset thing was clearly meant to lead us to the VR update, but we know that came sometime after. Whether that was on HG part on A&S I dunno
Difficult to not be railroad-y when they know it needs to end by a fixed date
But I think the HG/A&S relationship must have started to end so they just wrapped it up
18 months man
must have cost HG a pretty penny
I'd say so - sometimes I wonder how they're still paying all those devs to keep with these free updates etc on top of the ARG. I'm guessing it was just the windfall from the initial sales but damn they keep going
We'll have to give them money at some point
Yeah I keep wondering the same
NMS consistently sells well with each update
@cedar smelt NMS2 confirmed?
It does - but most games sell well at updates and they're loaded with DLC and MTX
NMS2 is the dream
