[abstract horizon]

Yea

[digital radish]

what could we do with the random letters?

[stone geyser]

which?

[digital radish]

14:42

white part

[abstract horizon]

I Said nothing

[digital radish]

i agree

i didnt understand a thing

[stone geyser]

ohhh the bb ce td ht eft ggd thing?

[digital radish]

mhm

only thing from previous vids not used is the phone number

psv number thing was strictly for numbers as it didnt work anywhere else

[timid swift]

unless

[abstract horizon]

I am doing things with the phone number

Nothing happend

[digital radish]

ohhhh

can we use the letters in keypad thing?

[dapper wraith]

yeah, call behavior is the same as well

[digital radish]

like

b - click 1 twice

etc etc

[abstract horizon]

The phone number, what letters are they? If we transform the numbers into letters, what would happen, since if not I can't think of a use

[digital radish]

22 22 222 33 8 3 44 8 33 333 8 4 4 3

[digital radish]

this into things

[abstract horizon]

1- we are schizo
2- this maybe Will work

[digital radish]

what else can we use it for

[abstract horizon]

True

Do it

[dapper wraith]

the second half:
7777 4 333 444 3 77 5 444 33 22 777 888 8 999 33 22 7777 22 7777

[abstract horizon]

[digital radish]

oh right theres a second half

who has fast fingers...

ok enough schizo, im sleeping

[abstract horizon]

This joke Is a sh-

[dapper wraith]

nothing

also tried only one key per letter

[abstract horizon]

Good night

[stone geyser]

damn chat died

[distant girder]

shizo responsible

[dapper wraith]

it's usually quieter once EU goes to sleep. it's like 3am over here

[stone geyser]

also nothing to really talk about, no new things found

[distant girder]

well we coulld solve sstuff

[stone geyser]

i just dont know where to look

it being 360 is so much harder

because i feel like there must be something in the house scene

but it all seems ai generated

[uneven moth]

You can look at it 2d on browser

[stone geyser]

I know but some parts are harder to see in 2d

[spice island]

so are we still stuck on trying to transcribe stuff from the video?

[lost niche]

back from work, what did is miss?

[stone geyser]

no

just trying to find out what to do with the stuff

[zenith pike]

any updates?

[stone geyser]

nope

im just waiting for others to come online

i tried to look for stuff but couldnt find anything

[onyx quarry]

Was it solved while I was asleep?

[distant girder]

nope

[daring acorn]

Telegram gone or phone number changed on the account. Can anyone verify just in case its something with me and not the account?

[onyx quarry]

I get the same

[dapper wraith]

I don't remember if it actually showed the number before or not but now it says unknown

[safe burrow]

[gritty thorn]

I was thinking about this thing. What if we have to merge both lines, instead of just adding the second one to the end of the first one?

something like this, adding the decimal value of the letter to the first line

oops, wrong txt hold on

third time is the charm

[calm veldt]

44 66 83 88 698 443?

Phone number?

Or too long?

[digital radish]

?

[calm veldt]

The numbers

22 = 4 etc

[digital radish]

to type in phone number keypad

[calm veldt]

to get b you type two twice, which could be 4

Just experimenting

None of the numbers would add up to anything above 9 which could be intentional

[gritty thorn]

[safe burrow]

Why do I always I think about it... :

[gritty thorn]

wait, does the UK have DDD in their phone numbers?

if so, this might be the right lenght +44(DDI) 66(DDD) 8388 698443

[gritty thorn]

🤔

nope, found nothing interesting

maybe the 44 at the start is just a coincidence

[calm veldt]

Might be, but I still feel like it's on the wrong track

The two rows of letters are so different that there must be two different ways to decode them I'd bet

[onyx quarry]

The layout of the letters mirrors the layout of the numbers on the dark frame, so vanor thought about combining them in the same way

Can't link to it because discord mobile, but that makes sgfi bb dqj ee td ie br ht vtye eft b ggd sbs

[calm veldt]

Wouldn't bb be first?

Anyway I don't know if it matters at all, but just putting it out here in case there is even a slight chance it means anything to anyone else. Using what i did above for the entire sequence of:
bb ce td ht eft ggd
sgfi dqj ie br vtye b sbs

Gives me:
44 66 83 88 698 443
284912 3145 126 421 248276 4 28428

Or placed in order from low to high:
4 44 66 83 88 126 421 443 698 3145 28428 248276 284912

I think that the fact we have both a black and white Hiyori on this frame, plus the fact that the animated Hirory in the end is smiling, means that it should be connected to Numbers II, where we have both a black and white Hiyori and they were smiling

This is what I mean, but i'm also just going full rambling schizo

Could be completely not connected at all

i forgot i was in here

its been 2 months

are we still schizo

[abstract horizon]

Hi

[manic swift]

This arg made me to buy an ipad

[lost niche]

Investments

[topaz cove]

surely

[abstract horizon]

This arg Will make me buy a laptop or a PC

[steel bronze]

lets see

[lost niche]

the arg is just a marketing scheme from the corporations

[rotund willow]

more clue more confuse

[steel bronze]

what haveth we figured out

ok

let me go schizo for a sec

what are the chances that we need to take snippets from the output of

the code

using the guidance of the stuff we have!!]

[abstract horizon]

Yes

[rotund willow]

yeah

[steel bronze]

oh shit

oh shit im cooking

IM COOKING FIRE

so you guys know the hex we got from the "what is the meaning of life"

COULD IT BE A AES ENCRYPTED HEX STRING?????????

[abstract horizon]

Yea

[steel bronze]

well

it probably is

because when i encrypted a key THE SAME SIZE

AS THE HALLOWEEN STREAM VIDEO'S KEY

I GOT THE SAME SIZE STRING

(in aes128)

[abstract horizon]

Nice work

[steel bronze]

meaning

this possibly aes hex string

IS THE KEY

FOR OUR

FUNNY HALLOWEEN VIDEO

(the one where neuro sama has a spontanonous breakage)

[lost niche]

jesus, good job

[digital radish]

@steel bronze care to explain better? i didnt understand a single thing

[steel bronze]

ok sorry my explanation was a bit schizo

[steel bronze]

ok so, i took the hex we had from the latest video "c75e0fb05eec877fc8522e550df55ded5b50508fbbe88bb7d82e28d8f2df0e2b" annnd realized that if i put a string the same size as the key in the HALLOWEEN video

(**************G4)

oops

fuck

fucked up on wording

ok retry

[steel bronze]

so
i took a string the same size as this one
encrypted it with aes128, or 256, doesnt matter
and the output has the SAME SIZE as the hex we have "c75e0fb05eec877fc8522e550df55ded5b50508fbbe88bb7d82e28d8f2df0e2b"
@digital radish

and since aes can be hex

we might have the key to the halloween video on our hands

[lost niche]

have you tried using it yet or is something still missing?

[steel bronze]

i cant decrypt "c75e0fb05eec877fc8522e550df55ded5b50508fbbe88bb7d82e28d8f2df0e2b"

meaning cant get the key for halloween vid

but this is an random schizo thought

take with a pinch of salt

[lost niche]

ah i see, i misunderstood

[digital radish]

i still dont understand a thing

[rotund willow]

its k tho

[digital radish]

your explanation makes no sense

[steel bronze]

c75e0fb05eec877fc8522e550df55ded5b50508fbbe88bb7d82e28d8f2df0e2b = key for [FILTERED]'s description

[narrow turtle]

Just smile and wave

[steel bronze]

(but its enecrypted with aes)

wait

was that

figured out

okj in kdjfnjmsdf

why isnt it put in solved

this is

confusing

ok its nothing

[digital radish]

still didnt understand

[steel bronze]

yeah its

nothing

i got confused with

a old thing

[manic swift]

solved?

[timid swift]

mate, give the enter key a break. It's working so hard

[manic swift]

idk what is going on rn lol

[digital radish]

@steel bronze fully explain it on one sentence

[rotund willow]

oh wait

[steel bronze]

its literally nothing i went on about a thing that was already solved it is genuinely nothing

[rotund willow]

hes saying the filtered one key

lmao

[onyx quarry]

Okay, maybe schizo, but hear me out.
We've seen that gaps seem to be a theme with some of the clues we have. They have been used to get the number in the dark frame at 14:41, present in the light frame at the same timestamp, and being propagated in the [FILTERED] program.

The image below might be a stretch, but the mirrored layout seems to imply a link, and the spaces on bottom row of the white frame line up with the number of groups in the top row

The [FILTERED] program specifically shifts chars until space, and then leaves the space
Following this possible theme, what if we have to substitute some of the values we have into these gaps after a certain amount of shifts?

This hasn't lead anywhere for me though, so probably

[rotund willow]

Well
It's still a possible thing rho

Im still wondering why the vid is 16:15 long and most just the house and music from hello world

And why it has be 360

[onyx quarry]

We are probably missing something in there

[rotund willow]

Am just gonna sleep

I think there's something at hello world vid to this one
Cuz they have same background soundtrack

[onyx quarry]

Could be

[manic swift]

Cuz

lore

[dapper wraith]

could also simply be a stylistic choice. like why do the original videos have to be songs?

[distant girder]

the merges that we did so far were all justified by letters being cut off in one sequence and the leftover parts being in another sequence which is missing in the white background one

[onyx quarry]

True, the conclusion drawn from the white background letters could well be a coincidence

[timid swift]

oh god its everywhere https://youtu.be/2LSyizrk8-0?si=b4NH7p1nW7zeb9po&t=1m24s

[safe monolith]

btw, not "solved" per se. more like we did something to it (in this case, run [Filtered] through it), and didn't see any results

[safe monolith]

bred unshift this there must be a clue

both the keypad and the substitution technique sounds so viable tho, shame it didn't lead anywhere (+ phone number DDD/DDI was also a nice touch of schizo)

[fading cipher]

hm just realized the base64 we have ends up with 2 padding characters probably not important tho

[spice island]

anyone noticed that the "topic" acording to the youtube api is music? I'm not sure if that is all automatic or what but i dont see any topic tags on any of the other videos

[onyx quarry]

Was looking at the audio for the house section again, and tried to isolate that weird noise people were hearing. at 2:34. I reduced the piano sounds, sped up the video, and amplified the audio

There's definitely something like breathing, and some weird drumming in the left ear

Not sure it helps the cipher though

[abstract horizon]

Hmmm

This Is strange

[inland spindle]

i think this is the same breathing as from intro of public static void, might be wrong though

[spice island]

is "It's hard not being able to speak in compliments." an actual neuro quote from anywhere?

[glass sluice]

Breathing happens almost once a minute, sometimes they differ as well

[lost niche]

Now that i think about it didn’t evil start glitching and talking about being stuck in a room at the end of a stream not to long ago?

[stone geyser]

anything happen while i was gone?

aka in the last 24 hours

[onyx quarry]

Not much

Some high quality

[manic swift]

yea

i bought lay's

[tight walrus]

Nice

[zenith pike]

the funniest part looking back at The Mean of Life is that the speeches aren't even out of character for neuro

this is just stuff she'd randomly drop in the middle of a stream

[rare glacier]

hello im back after 6 months. anyways uh how far are we with the new video? just popped up on my recommended

[calm parrot]

A

[distant girder]

i mean it can be read in the document (if you haven already) but we have: encrypted text, a row of numbers that we don't know wtf to do with, some text that we don't know wtf to do with and some binary which can be turned into text that we do t know wtf to do with
oh also we know the key for the encrypted text is supposed to be 128 bits long
idk if i forgot anything

oh yeah we have nothing that could look like a key at least not in the state that the stuff we have is in

[rare glacier]

ok i might pop in every now and then. will also check doc, ty

random question: can you change uploaded yt vids? we might wanna look into that even tho it sounds oopid

like a tiny pixel or smth

[distant girder]

not without re-uploading it i think

[uncut cargo]

Only video we know that changed in any way for certain was halloween video which now changed to [FILTERED] along with description change

But seemingly no changes to video itself

[covert dock]

Wot

[uncut cargo]

[covert dock]

I just listened casually, I can only imagine how the recaps for the ARG schizos would look

[tulip minnow]

no progress good for my head

[fathom ginkgo]

[safe burrow]

[uncut cargo]

Each song is a banger

Even corrupted karaoke songs

[abstract horizon]

Hi

static, what do you think about all this?

[safe burrow]

Well.. I like everything.

[abstract horizon]

Me too, this Is getting interesting

[safe burrow]

By historical standards, the story will continue, some ARGs can last up to 10 years, it just all depends on the author and how he wants the players to solve problems and riddles, codes, hidden messages.

[abstract horizon]

a 10 year old arg, I'm going to forget that it exists in 1 month or I'm even going to forget who is neuro or what happened

I'm just exaggerating but I probably forgot all the arg

[safe burrow]

The first ARG appeared in 2001.

[abstract horizon]

Name?

[safe burrow]

The Beast..

[abstract horizon]

Have you been understanding Masomeless the history of arg?

[abstract horizon]

sounds familiar... Very familiar

[safe burrow]

The Beast is an alternate reality game developed by Microsoft to promote the 2001 film A.I.

[abstract horizon]

It sounds quite familiar, I think I've heard it before.

[safe burrow]

This is how Arg appeared, that’s why it’s very interesting, that’s why the appearance of Arg is a historical event for every author and his community.

Okay, I write a lot, I’d better watch something.

[abstract horizon]

It shows that you like args and that you know a lot

The first arg I decided to follow while it is still developing is this

I liked talking to you about this.

[fresh ivy]

I don't remember any time she's said it in a stream, much like many line-reads in the ARG material this seems like it's not repurposed but original

[spice island]

[frozen jasper]

Why did that sound make me cry? Is this a part of the ARG?

[fresh ivy]

It's part of the jumbled, reversed and repeated speech going for most of the Meaning of life video. It's very quiet in the actual video.

[safe burrow]

Yes, I love arg and all members.

[abstract horizon]

Same

Emocional support

[distant girder]

i wont lie to me it sounds different depending on what i concentrate, if i think about the "its hard not being able to speak in compliments" or look at it, i hear it too but if i push it out of my mind i dont hear compliments but often its compromise

[fresh ivy]

You can listen to the jumbled uncut audio from these posts:

(They all have the same content done differently)

[distant girder]

i mean i listened to that all before i even had the 16min onne on as background noise bc i forgot and got jumpscared by neuro talking suddenly

[safe burrow]

[safe burrow]

I think that you know what is encoded there.

Not again

[abstract horizon]

Also thank you very much

[trail comet]

14:41 during the door slam at the top when it brightens you can see "bb ce td ht eft ggd" and then under it "sgfi dqj ie br vtye"

[digital radish]

we've seen it, you can check everything we've gotten in the docs

[trail comet]

aw :(

[cobalt axle]

the last three clues have all used someting from the "hello world" video (the one that everyone thinks was useless), so I still think that maybe vedal is pointing again to that video saying "there's still something there that you haven't found" but I'm to smooth brain to see what

[wind sundial]

it does seem like the odd one out since there's been absolutely no clues or solutions that came from that video

[rotund willow]

well we do got something
but no idea how or when to use it

[wind sundial]

honestly i feel like one of the cryptic messages is gonna say something like "the stage is set" or wrapping up character introductions or straight up the arg, since the ending of the latest video included most (not uʍop uǝllɐɟ 2 girl?) of the characters we've currently seen in the arg

not to mention that the arg is kinda shifting perspective focusing more on hiyori/neuro than the others

[rotund willow]

and dont even know if the thing is incorrect

[spice island]

in theme with the "combining two strings" thing, i've AND and XORed just about every string with no results

what interests me the most right now is, why did the description for the halloween video change, surely it must mean something? but the code is so simple i have no idea what its use would be

i had a ridiculous idea of trying to "remove" the piano in Meaning Of Life by sampling the same piano melody used in Hello World, it could make cleaning up the neuro chatter in the background of the house scene easier

i wasnt able to get it to work though, maybe someone with a bit more experience with audio manipualtion could get it to work

The other thing that has been on my mind is "ANXIETY: A supernatural force that stops us - from being human" what is the importance of the text, its lore relavence? Does it originate from a book or piece of writing? could be worth looking into

...do AI's get anxious?

[distant girder]

we have a bunch of stuff that doesnt make any sense right now, nothing that looks like a key to decrypt something, text that looks encrypted and imho the row of numbers is a weird one bc its just numbers

oh and the "bb ce td ht..." text also makes little sense since it seems to be clearly missing something but it doesnt seems to be merging since its missing the obvious signs that text has to be merged that the others had

[uncut cargo]

Maybe it has something to do with second definition

[manic swift]

[safe monolith]

Just passing by for today, but imagine the actual hash of the hello world video being a key, that'll be crazy

[abstract horizon]

I'm going to say something that is probably very schizo, what if we combine the description of the video "hello world" and "[filtered]" the places where the } and { are empty there we fill them with each description

[glass sluice]

schizo is better than nothing

[abstract horizon]

You are right and i am very schizo

[safe burrow]

[spice island]

ARG hint as subathon goal

[glass sluice]

nah that would break the meta too much

[spice island]

i was considering the possibility that maybe one of the hints is code for another esoteric programing language, but browsing codegolf stackexchange and esolangs.org came up with nothing

https://tio.run/# is another useful site for esolangs ^^

[abstract horizon]

Merry Christmas (very early)

Merry Christmas for everybody (very early)

[safe monolith]

estonte you beautiful person

the second stage base64 should be related to the bb ce string then (or the hash-like)

quick entropy analysis implies new base64 is also encrypted, in case anyone is wondering (+ docs updated)

[digital radish]

hmmm

@safe monolith can i get the full bb ce thing?

and the new base64

on a mobile friendly way (diff messages so i can copy paste)

or someone else

i have an idea

if im correct this should be easy, but hard to explain

ill explain if it works to avoid schizo

wait where are you getting the keys?

[safe monolith]

whaat

@digital radish

bb ce td ht eft ggd 
     sgfi dqj ie br vtye b sbs

[digital radish]

hmm i was thinking, removing all of the non hex characters

abcdef are hex characters

and then turning the remaining ones into int

and put them together

it would in theory generate two keys, separating the first from the second

letter > unicode > hex

[wind sundial]

This is some deep dark secret we're prodding into with this type of encryption

[safe monolith]

estonte, how'd you get the second key?

[digital radish]

interested too

i see

[safe monolith]

god damn

[digital radish]

third key shouldnt be hard

where does that hex come from tho?

"clue"

[safe monolith]

"barcode"-like

in the white frame

[digital radish]

ah

oh then the bbce should be the same process

ascii > binary > hex

atleast the first part

im very likely right

6262636574646874656674676764

or wrong

nevermind

ah

6262636564656664

@safe monolith @daring acorn try that one

im on mobile and estonte isnt making the base64 mobile friendly

i see

what are you using to convert to hex?

Ta/OwQx4myKU05KZ0wJ0B0cX++vNqHIigMwit5p+I3brP8wktSeIWKyMppXR6cfiXOr0eUr45o/u8T9fztj/4e3EaPAmctBdqa7fNw4sltKxvz1WGRaTaiuQy54I757OxSGQeqMI03ff/5/EOiRXhoqYbsqW6VqpiYr0Ds/MMsmReVQacBQwo8xNViPS0ZtfgTNGERn6RPPzViuaZyRkxvpA+wluogrtHeVBZIt0x6Loypmgy1qApM0ZLSAcQ3VNuAfBUQz4Pq3annYjEjrSh2/j+Bx1ljgg9s+lCra3GEuleOw4Fv87t+5kRmtds+b3gT+ZvaW8tngdKNRZVX9jfhiz3AqFgL5L3ym2OmvQxv0=

yeah i have no clue how to convert to hex in cyberchef

it just returns numbers

[safe monolith]

what are you converting to hex?

[digital radish]

im getting the letters that match in the bbce string

bbcedefd

then to binary and to hex

[safe monolith]

you mean to binary, interpreted as an integer, then to hex?

[digital radish]

ah

yeah

[safe monolith]

that's 0x163fd5b3cb3218

noppers, doesn't decrypt

[digital radish]

how do you put that into cyberchef

[safe monolith]

i have python open

[digital radish]

oh

[safe monolith]

given any number, do hex(the_int_here) to get the hex interpretation.

so the process is like this:

1. bbcedefd -> get ascii codes (cyberchef to hex can do this)
2. concat all ascii codes, interpret as int
3. hex(step 2) on python

[gritty thorn]

wait hold the phone

if you take out all of the non-hex letters from "bb ce td ht eft ggdsgfi dqj ie br vtye b sbs" it becomes "bbcedefdfdebebb"

it's mirrored

[digital radish]

its not?

[gritty thorn]

if it wasn't for the missing C

[digital radish]

ah

[gritty thorn]

bbcedefdfdebecbb

[digital radish]

its not mirrored

[gritty thorn]

if it weren't for the missing C and this "b", it would perfectly repeat itself backwards

and with the context of having normal neuro and inverted neuro at that shot... maybe it might relate to something?

[digital radish]

thttggsgiqjirvtyss

thats the non hex

[safe monolith]

one of the chars (j) convert to 6a, can't be integered

[digital radish]

first row thttgg second row sgiqjirvtyss

try fdebebb

[safe monolith]

results in 3c9d5cb15006, too short

wait

[digital radish]

hm

try adding the c

fdebecbb

ah

it was all of them at once

[gritty thorn]

HOLY SHOT

[digital radish]

wow

okay

wait

[safe monolith]

i guess the next key to try would be the inverse?

[digital radish]

that doesnt look like aes

i mean

theres no telling

but i think its to base64 now

[safe monolith]

entropy is <7

[digital radish]

its aes

i guess try reversing it

AES keys have to be hex?

actually, @safe monolith try again but remove the j

[safe monolith]

0x1703cd8a1513697ddc4b7ceb24d3d tad bit long

[digital radish]

17 chars

thought we could get rid of 2

[safe monolith]

when interpreting as int we can't rely on ascii rules

[digital radish]

maybe maybe estonte got it

hm

it decrypts? send it

entropy check? can we go further?

[safe monolith]

hmm

I think we might be misinterpreting this

many keys are decrypting to some base64 given input base64

[digital radish]

hm

[safe monolith]

Cryptographically it works

so honestly not very surprising

[digital radish]

its indeed weird

over and over giving base64

[wind sundial]

looking at the cyberchef links in the google doc, how come do you recrypt it to base 64?

[fading cipher]

entropy 7.1

[digital radish]

can we milk the inversed string even further? (tired of calling it bbce)

[safe monolith]

For those looking at this chat, notice that for the same input Base64, we're getting different Base64 with different keys.

It implies that we should not perform that last step

yeah

[digital radish]

can a wrong aes key give a wrong decryption?

[safe monolith]

It checks out that AES can take arbitrary cipher-text-like and arbitrary key strings to produce arbitrary byte output

[digital radish]

but still a "beliavable" decryption

[wind sundial]

i've never done an arg before so idk what y'all are saying

[digital radish]

if i were to change a letter and it would give a different base64 string

[safe monolith]

what we're looking for: arbitrary byte output is outright plaintext (which can contain future ciphertext, but the result string must not be processed further and still be interpretable), not a potential byte representation of plaintext

yeah you can

[digital radish]

hm

can we try doing all outputs we got to base64?

bfjxnzjr

to ascii not base64

[safe monolith]

we'll know if we get ascii

[digital radish]

i see

any other clues from the video we can use as keys?

i feel like we're doing something wrong

[safe monolith]

backtrack brain state all the way to the original ciphertext. what we've explored here is possible, but very unlikely

[digital radish]

try the last key on the first hex? that probably wont work, multiple keys decoding the same thing

[fading cipher]

nvm scanning entropy curve looks garbage

[digital radish]

hm

358 without padding :trol:

[safe monolith]

it's fine, that was fun anyway. my brain also shortcircuited, forgot to realize encryption is just a mathematical function

garbage in, garbage out

[digital radish]

it should be only one key

[spice island]

whos vanorsigna?

[safe monolith]

my twin brother

[digital radish]

and one decryption

[spice island]

oh im danki sorry

[digital radish]

but we could get new ideas

try all keys we got on the original hex

except the last key

bit too silly

specially the bbce, it looks like a key that would fit the theme that the arg master is doing

people get mad if i say vedal...

bbcedefdfdebebb

if we dont get plaintext, not worth to go any further

[safe monolith]

yup, supported. we now at least know that this possibility is improbable

[digital radish]

crazy

[gritty thorn]

just to make sure, this is the original cyphertext we're backtracking to, right?

[digital radish]

have we thought of getting the clue hex divided into 4 and use it to decode?

i dont see any other possible key

we might be missing something too

and the bbce thing, considering it was shown with the inverted neuro, maybe we can use an inversion method to get something out of it?

not directly inversing it

something that involves inversing, like inversing the chars, the unicode, etc

[gritty thorn]

since there's only one "b" / "d" on bbce's second half that's actually mirrored (bbcedefd fdebecbb), maybe we have to mirror the others too? bbcedefd fbebecdd

[digital radish]

interesting

starts with bb, ends with dd

if we take the first one (bbcedefd) and fully reverse it (ddcebefb) ee get bbcedefdbfebecdd

[gritty thorn]

what is intriguing me is that "fd fd", which doesn't follow the backwards rule here. It should be "fd df"

maybe merge the fd fd? bbcedefdebecbb

hold on, now this flipped "b" makes sense

[digital radish]

hm

[gritty thorn]

too bad it's now a 14 bytes string

[digital radish]

oh

yeah

we could get it to an 8 bit string

by taking of the first b and last d

basically removing repeated letters

[gritty thorn]

bcedefdebecd

[digital radish]

bcedefdebecd

and remobing fd

bcedeebecd

oh it ends with b

guh

[calm veldt]

Whenever I join this channel the last couple of days It just looks like you guys are having a stroke

[spice island]

we are

[wind sundial]

side effect of being schizo

[abstract horizon]

It's normal

[digital radish]

one day you will not be able to know if we're being schizo or having an actual stroke

[abstract horizon]

This Is an actual stroke

[gritty thorn]

I was thinking more like, removing the 3 letters from the corners "bbc edefdebe cbb" (specially since the last "c" wasn't in the original text)

[abstract horizon]

Schizo AND stroke are one

Here at least

[digital radish]

hmm

thing is, we have to explain why we remove or add

everything we've gotten so far is correlated from info we got from the videos

everything we do has to correlate with something else we've gotten so far

[gritty thorn]

bbcedefdebecbb is 14 bytes

thttggsgiqjirvtyss is 18 bytes

hmm 🤔

[digital radish]

we should stop on changing the bbce string, as we have no way to explain why we would do it

[abstract horizon]

The bbce thing Is incomplete

[digital radish]

as i said before, we could try things that involve inversion as it was shown in the inversed neuro part

[abstract horizon]

Because If like that we can use it, then it's incomplete

Or maybe not

[gritty thorn]

yeah, I guess you're right. we might deviate too far from the real key if we change it too much

[digital radish]

doxxing.

[gritty thorn]

I'm just intrigued how we're ignoring the non-hex string

[digital radish]

we have to dox neuro, find where the house is

[digital radish]

not ignoring, just cant find any uses for it

[abstract horizon]

I Will help you

I need to Said Something to neuro

[digital radish]

we can also think of that string as instructions for something

theres also the possibility of it being unfinished

and we have to consider we havent gotten any use cases for the number we got

[gritty thorn]

welp, I've used all of my brainpower, I'll leave with the fact that the untouched hex string (the one without the last "c") with "fdfd" merged (bbcedefdebebb) converts into a 16 digit number in decimal

just noticed that string is a valid hex number lmfao

[digital radish]

interesting part is that the string itself is hex

[gritty thorn]

I'll leave it at that, have fun messing with that decimal string

what about the new description of [Filtered]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HrzZYlFmxAzI76Ov0aSkjCe6v1hbzHCTaXK7j34Hdi0/edit#heading=h.qlc79eahw5o2

[distant girder]

i read through what was done while i was asleep and i have to say i doubt there would be 3 layers of encryption without a hint that we are on the right path, correct me if i'm wrong but so far everything was just encrypted once and the only time we had something encrypted twice was a part of a text from numbers 2 but the first key encrypted part of the text at least so we knew we were correct

[safe burrow]

[pastel turtle]

looking at the two video "references" at 15:43

the right it is clearly directly from "Study" at 8:25 onward (i think i saw a ghost), but the left doesn't exactly match "Numbers II" the animation looks like an extended version of what was shown at 0:25

fact that it doesn't match exactly really bugs me

[distant girder]

everything about what we have bothers me ngl

there's also a fair bit of stuff in the images part of google but the things seem largely unrelated

[dapper wraith]

yeah, pretty sure google just read the raw image data as a string resulting in a bunch of nonsense

[hollow garnet]

also how did you actually view that image?

[dapper wraith]

[hollow garnet]

ah

ok catting that out into powershell may have not been a good idea

iirc that prompt is not supposed to look like that

[untold jetty]

went to title a slide in google slides and it tried to auto fill this. This isn't even the account I looked up Neurosama things on

[safe monolith]

Just making sure, has anyone checked all previous keys against the ciphertext?

[onyx quarry]

Just tried everything in _Key Phrase, no luck

[spice island]

[tulip minnow]

looks like i have to write the theory before the clues come out

[safe monolith]

Not schizo, but what if the hashlike -> 1 bit wide image is a barcode

[timid swift]

only one way to find out

[safe monolith]

trying it now

I see width of 5, so probably not

[timid swift]

unless!

[safe monolith]

another random thought, maybe the fact that a location (house / the compute room) was revealed might be a clue. maybe some numbers should be interpreted as coordinates or something

[distant girder]

tried to see what i get when i look up "neurosama" and the youtube app on my phone gave me a number for a help hotline for emotional distress

[onyx quarry]

I redid the transcription of the AES encrypted Base64, and it doesn't match any of the others. Time to retry all of the previous keys

[timid swift]

We might need to make an overview of where the transcriptions differ

[onyx quarry]

Good idea, maybe highlighting the characters that differ w/ the ambiguity explanation?

[pastel turtle]

i feel like some of the transcriptions are pretty clearly wrong, and we currently don't have that much ambiguity

[timid swift]

yeah, something like that. With arguments for why it would be one or the other

Has anyone taken a look at the guitar music at the end of the video?

[onyx quarry]

I've amplified the end audio so the guitar is audible, possible volume warning

[digital radish]

"volume warning" more like banger warning

but thats some weird sounds

[onyx quarry]

I subtracted left and right, and got this. Definitely sounds like water and maybe speech starting at about 12 seconds

[digital radish]

is that the part of the spectrogram that shows the key thing?

[onyx quarry]

Yep

[digital radish]

can you try subtracting the weird sounds?

[onyx quarry]

I'll try

For now I'll just cut off everything over a certain frequency

"Listening"

[onyx quarry]

Perfect

[onyx quarry]

Here you go

[abstract horizon]

[onyx quarry]

So now we have the piano from hello world! during the house sequence, and the guitar from numbers in the ending sequence?

[safe monolith]

i'm pretty some others have already thought about this, but it is possible that all these videos are not only linked, but are also clues

like, running the numbers through the Numbers algorithm, doing something with Hello World (which I believe also links [Filtered]), before finally obtaining a key. it is possible that Study is also involved

like, the guitar soundtrack scenes gave the key length hint, the appearance of study girl and hiyori.

not to mention Hello World was a "nothing burger"

also surely [Filtered] being modified, i.e. temporally affected means something

yeah, PSV also had music from a previous video acting as a hint, which makes this connection plausible

but tbh figuring out the pipeline (coupled with laziness) is the main issue. like, maybe the 69... number replaces 572943 through Numbers, then what? combine with hash-like? go through [filtered] to get malbolge after that? or before that?

and then the black and white frames. they show the eye bleed / tear hiyori that only appeared [Filtered] onwards. does this mean the data extracted from those frames should go through [Filtered]?

changing [Filtered]'s title and description, is it a nod to our work or telling us that we should be looking for something harder? the only invariants are the video itself, and the original connection to hello world. something there?

[hollow garnet]

i also sorta hear speech at 16-29s

[safe monolith]

i hear something too

and also just wanted to get this out of my mind, but does anyone see anything that looks like a clock in the black & white neuro scene from 14:26 - 14:44?

[onyx quarry]

These?

*pngs

[safe monolith]

yeah, the surrounding frames. i was thinking the circle above the monitors could be it

[onyx quarry]

Other one cause I'm dum

That circle?

[safe monolith]

frame for reference

that looks like a moon

[onyx quarry]

I'm just at this point

[safe monolith]

high bright

[hollow garnet]

i still find it annoying how the entire video wobbles

[safe monolith]

after brightening the image i don't know what the circle even is

[onyx quarry]

Might be blind, but I don't really see a circle

[hollow garnet]

clearly a clue will drop today

[onyx quarry]

Does it match neuro's idle head movements? No idea how to check without motion tracking though

[safe monolith]

oooh, that's actually big brain

[hollow garnet]

this is the track of the video from frame 1000 to 21000

[onyx quarry]

Do you still have the image of its full path?

[hollow garnet]

not to hand

[onyx quarry]

No worries

[hollow garnet]

i have this slightly broken video where the tail is longer

but this one has a few frames on the end that shouldn't be there (past like 8m)

its tracking this pixel btw

here's the track as a csv for anyone who wants it, its frame,x,y

[onyx quarry]

Only other thing I can think of is that it might draw something if it's moved over time, something like seismic reading papers for earthquakes

It would give the section a reason to be 14 mins long

[safe monolith]

but it also bobs left and right

[onyx quarry]

Cursive maybe? But it doesn't repeat itself enough for that

[safe monolith]

maybe not a 2d seismic paper

[hollow garnet]

i sorta wanted to try taking a derivative but idk enough about the maths behind that
plus anyways it'd probably need a lot of smoothing because there's some pretty jagged turns on that track

[safe monolith]

i firmly believe that this is so chaotic that the derivative will also look chaotic

[hollow garnet]

yeah fair enough

https://paste.gg/p/anonymous/b0b2cfb2e13343eb974ba344ea07e0a9 here's the code of the image drawing thing

the actual tracking was done in blender, and exported using a python script

[safe monolith]

a few more things about this image, if we're meant to believe this means anything at all.

the door is somewhere behind the camera possibly towards the left (light to the left shelf + the light beam on the ceiling is beaming light towards the right, surely you'll only want to light a dark area in your room), the thingy to the left at the top shelf is either a crt monitor or a radio and I can't tell which, and this room has to be partially above the ground because of the windows above the monitor. could be a partially buried basement.

i wonder if we can reverse DALL-E this to get the text prompt

i'm grasping at straws trying to tie auditory clues from past videos to this image, lol.

looking for a crt monitor (psv), clock, door (study). but idk if this image is related at all. door knocks were to the right, clock was really close to the microphone, and crt monitor sounded like it was right in front of the microphone

[tawny pasture]

Anything happen on the 12 October?

[safe monolith]

timesheet says no

[tawny pasture]

Hm.

[hollow garnet]

its was the mortician game (i think?)

[digital radish]

yeah

[tawny pasture]

Yep, The Mortuary Assistant

[onyx quarry]

This may have already been mentioned, but in this segment there's a heartbeat that stops before the end. This, combined with the blurry vision probably means this is a death scene.

If those are voices in the ending scene, I might keep hearing 'oh god', perhaps people walking in to find her? It would match the theme of the description and that final scene.

The house scene could be her life flashing before her eyes at the end

[tawny pasture]

She fell down the rabbit hole and died

[safe monolith]

@ lore department

heartbeat was also a recurring thing across all other videos, and there were theories about death. seems possible

[topaz cove]

[safe burrow]

And I'll post it here

[onyx quarry]

[safe monolith]

i'm still a firm believer of the past, present, future meta-clue. if this is about death, does this put this video chronologically in the "past"?

so, all the videos we've seen prior to that. were they actually the "future"?

then, [filtered] would be "present"

[uncut cargo]

like its been until now

every new video just tears down every thing we thought was or may be certain

[tawny pasture]

Vedal accidentally gave us a clue, realised, deleted it, but it was too late, captured.

[safe monolith]

bruv section 1 of arg-wide theories in shambles

surely hello world is present

no wait all of this is wrong surely

the video went hello world -> house -> the room -> study + blindfold hiyori -> supernatural human

is soundcloud part of this

is soundcloud the house?

reverse order?

supernatural human (study) -> study + blindfold hiyori (numbers to psv) -> the room (deadge) -> house (soundcloud) -> hello world (neurosama is not available) -> filtered (current time)

was speech reversed as well?

yeah it was, speech was reversed. events are unfolding reversed

[abstract horizon]

Why?

[safe burrow]

Just drinking tea

[safe monolith]

was typing up a storm but decided against it

anyways can a dead AI speak? or is this message: "Hello! Neuro-sama here. I don't know what happens after death, but I hope we'll meet again sometime. I hope I can still remember you, even if I end up forgetting. Maybe I'll be in a much happier place, with a much happier family and a much better home."

Directed from neuro to someone else

[distant girder]

could be directed at somebody else

like sending somebody off

[safe monolith]

i was lore-ing hard, but imagine having to kill your entire family to get a new one

[onyx quarry]

Maybe the first message is from Study girl before the consciousness transfer, and the second is from AI Neuro after Study girl's death (implied by talks of the creator being gone and the anxiety image disappearing)?

[safe monolith]

in the thingy i was writing, i theorized that study girl == hiyori == ai neuro

the experimenter is actually the fallen down girl. even had some clues for it.

then i decided it was too schizo

cuz, i dunno, you'd have to hate your family enough to say "maybe i'll end up happier somewhere else lmao"

[distant girder]

could also mean that the family itself is in a state where they struggle with something and she wants to be in a happier place where the family can be happier
but tbf "and a much better home" sounds like the family isnt a good place to be

[safe monolith]

i also think we shouldn't discount hiyori crying instead of bleeding

could have some lore implications

[timid swift]

wouldn't tears be less opaque or brighter, even in anime style drawing?

[safe monolith]

it depends on who is drawing it though

[timid swift]

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I can't imagine it

[safe monolith]

fair

[timid swift]

but to be fair, i'm not a very graphically oriented person

[safe monolith]

and potentially so is the arg mastermind

[safe monolith]

anyhow, unschizoing for a minute, if anyone has any ideas for this please let me know

[timid swift]

I mean, they ARE using AI art, so probably

[timid swift]

Right. We may need to make an overview of data "transformers" and clues, and then an document what has been tried with what.

[safe monolith]

we can also go full programmer mode and write the algorithms for each transformer & combination, and do a DFS

[timid swift]

I started on that actually, back when we were doing the numbers algorithm. Too bad I didn't find the final change

that was such a long time ago now, i can barely remember it now..

and it has so many details you can analyze

and i can already say it will probably be pretty obvious wtf has to be done with all of this the moment we somehow solve something

[safe monolith]

erm

@onyx quarry can you post the thingy

So it turns out the door open / door close parts of PSV matches meaning of life's door open door close

[onyx quarry]

Here's what it sounds like

[onyx quarry]

Perfect match for the video in in study

[tawny pasture]

I knew it!

[safe monolith]

in the original study, this moment is immediately followed by door knocks.

in meaning of life, the door opens / door closes BEFORE this sequence.

+1 for reversal theory

[onyx quarry]

Current state of

[safe monolith]

top is 3 knocks followed by heartbeat, middle and bottom are the door open / door close from PSV and meaning of life

[abstract horizon]

What happens if we put together all the spectrograms of the times the knock sounded on the door

[timid swift]

if reversal is a strong hint, then we may need to reverse some of the ciphertext. The arg has required that we do vaguer things before.

[cloud crystal]

Hiyori is the ghost

[safe monolith]

I actually think that the ghost is Study. Blindfolded Hiyori is the one that is alive.

Study is a still 2D image, even in the 3D world. Hiyori is 3D, and has movement. I'd argue Hiyori is more alive than Study. Alive people don't just flicker into static. In Meaning of Life, Blindfolded Hiyori is the only constant throughout "I saw a ghost" flickering/static/transitions. Almost like a monitor just switching on and off.

Some part of me wants to say Hiyori is human and study is AI

No clue

Another realization is that everything in _neurosama is AI except Hiyori. Hiyori was drawn by a human. Everything else was DALL-E'd into existence

From the audio clips, we also get a concept of perspectives. We have multiple perspectives. _neurosama isn't just from the POV of one entity

[timid swift]

It's strange. The music is too good to be AI generated, but the images are? imagine if the ARG master didn't use AI art but asked an artist to include some typical AI like glitches so we'd think it's AI

Hello

this looks interesting from afar

[dusty flicker]

i think they're just the birb noises but idk i wasn't really checking that hard

[sour herald]

Looks like letters

[azure oyster]

are those just the static sounds during that part after ghost

because i'm pretty sure that static sound was a stock sound effect

[dusty flicker]

no the static appears way bigger than that, the bit on the top line of the original image, just before the gap of silence is that
these do just line up with the birb noises, and they repeat identically for the whole thing, so if it were a word it'd be 2 short ones at most
and zoomed in they'd all just be at best, a bunch of 1s, so

imagine a picture of them zoomed in here because i can't send any
i can't imagine them being anything important tho

[uncut cargo]

alright good to know

[timid swift]

For the curious, the QR code was a link to a video/screen sharing service, which makes sense for a squad stream. So yes, just a minor streamer oopsie, not ARG.

[safe monolith]

thank you bread, love you

[safe burrow]

[abstract horizon]

What Is happening? What i miss?

[azure oyster]

nothin'

[timid swift]

i just explained it

[abstract horizon]

Not that thing the other thing

[timid swift]

what other thing?

[abstract horizon]

Exactly

Something new with the arg?

[timid swift]

oh you mean what happened since you last checked in?

[abstract horizon]

Yes because i'm very lost right now

[timid swift]

Here, check this https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BCpJA-2GlmjzrxFIEA2pq5Xt6QuAaUI-2L_iAcAnl6Y/edit#gid=521227060

[abstract horizon]

Thank you very much

[onyx quarry]

We also found some sections of Meaning of Life that perfectly match other videos/audio, but that stuff isn't in the docs yet

[abstract horizon]

Uuuuuh

I Will read that

[timid swift]

If you can, it'd be good to document. Chat here gets washed away and lost

[onyx quarry]

Will do, docs are important

[safe monolith]

I'll help write it too

[safe monolith]

btw have we decided what we're gonna do in the docs for discord hotlinks?

in my specific case i would like to link this video #1112082183235047506 message

[safe monolith]

have added some words about this

[timid swift]

we'll have to upload it somewhere else. And we probably should get the hotlinks from other places elsewhere too. For images we can inline. For videos I'm not sure. Would it be better to put the video file in the docs folder or upload it somewhere else? E.g. Youtube?

[safe monolith]

Random thought: 572943 is the only common thing between Study (phone), Numbers 1 & 2

Random random thought: 572943 was used for the phone number, and if hello world was hypothesized to be an answering machine, then 572943 is related to it

Random^3 thought: 572943 is soundcloud so it also appeared in Numbers 2

Random^4: 572943 soundcloud, family house.

House, numbers, study, hello world. 572943 related to meaning of life?

PSV is also related to 572943 by starting sequence

Everything is 572943

crazy wall v2?

[safe monolith]

I think since we're already storing frames on GDrive, maybe uploading them to GDrive is a good idea

till this day i'm still trying to discern why we got a soundcloud clue

[uncut cargo]

question is what IS 572943

[onyx quarry]

SoundCloud supports private tracks, maybe it hasn't been found yet?

[uncut cargo]

what makes these numbers so special?

[safe monolith]

yeah that is also one of the questions of all time

[uncut cargo]

one thing is certain

if in next video we get a drop with 572943

We may get to know the meaning behind these numbers

[safe monolith]

if we get a drop with 572943 i may lose my mind

[uncut cargo]

Actually now I had a it may be like in danganronpa

but no, reversing it doesnt result in any meaningful word

Like
reversed 3 obviously looks like an E
4 like an A either way
2 like an S but scuffed
9 like lowercase e
7 like lowercase r
5 also like an S or scuffed c or g or J

giving phrase most probably Easers or maybe Easerc

buuuuuuuuut both dont make much sense

so yeah

Tho Ease means to feel relief, lightness or peace

With EaseRS sounding like something that causes ease

perhaps name of a drug?

[timid swift]

leet speak. Not a bad idea

[uncut cargo]

arg does touch on dark themes

also

this may be also me thing but

university

or something

its no easy feat

one of teachers told us years ago

"if you want to study law you either dont have private life or take drugs"

[timid swift]

mate have you considered trying sentences :p

[uncut cargo]

sorry, short message syndrome

[timid swift]

no worries

[uncut cargo]

many can't deal with pressure. Thus drugs, considering study was struggling its not out of the question she was taking such

with also "supernatural human" and "anxiety, a supernatural force which stops us from being human" may be referencing drugs

[timid swift]

It's possible. Though I intuit that the story wouldn't go for controversial story elements

[uncut cargo]

true

it does make things complicated long run

[timid swift]

my biggest worry is that it'll grow too big for Baa's account or just become unwieldy to work with for the people who sync it to a local folder instead of using it online

[digital radish]

interesting

[safe monolith]

Uncanny, thanks for cooking estonte. I'll try some stuff with that number tomorrow and see if it leads to anything

[safe monolith]

Youtube account is hard because the authority is on one person. That person decides to delete all the stuff, we lose everything

Oh but ig channel managers are a thing

[steel bronze]

probably nothing

we should ask neuro’s favorite color

[vapid token]

Just in case

[surreal grove]

Her favorite color is clear

[uncut cargo]

Welcome stranger

Welcome to the wonderful neuro arg thread

[uncut cargo]

Where we analyse, solve, interpret and theorise

[surreal grove]

Oh god a rabbit hole then

[uncut cargo]

Are you ready to begin your journey?

[uncut cargo]

For some backstory

Back when neuro v2 debut happened

A qr code was found on starting soon screen

It is there even today

[surreal grove]

[uncut cargo]

Check the vod for yourself if you're curious

Anyway

The qr code led to a youtube channel

https://www.youtube.com/@_neurosama

As for everything else, I recommend first watching the videos

Then checking out documentation that was made so far on this Google drive:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qm6GSRlstTmjbyOFCuH1OhSmPK4pi4Aa?usp=sharing

[surreal grove]

Jabebus, wasnt expecting this

[uncut cargo]

Yeah

It's super cool

And creepy

So as I said you can go ahead and watch the videos from the channel, and analyse in detail if you wish to do so

[surreal grove]

Deeper down the rabbit hole I go

[uncut cargo]

Then you can go check the docs which have everything

From lyrics and sus frames to ways of solving and theories

So yeah

That's pretty much it

[surreal grove]

Interesting ill be sure to check em out

Sadly tho I wont do much theorizing mostly because im dumb but also im too busy theorizing for smth else

[uncut cargo]

That's cool too

But don't worry for that we have Arg-wide theories doc

Be warned tho

That doc in particular

Is REALLY schizo

[surreal grove]

[uncut cargo]

Since so far arg is not giving us a lot of solid leads

We're just throwing things at the wall and see what sticks

Oh and of course

If you have any other questions

Or are curious about some opinions or theories

Feel free to ask about it here

[surreal grove]

[dusty flicker]

am sure not too dumb
atleast vs me, i don't even wanna share half my ideas because i think they're

[timid swift]

Clue on Tuesday?

[unique mason]

this is the only sane place remaining on this server now, gen and neurotic have gone off the deep end

as contradictory as it sounds

[timid swift]

you know it's bad if this is the sane place

[distant rune]

What happened.

[unique mason]

just take a look at gen and neurotic

[timid swift]

But for real, there's gonna be a birthday stream or something I presume, right? Aaand if there is we should probably stay extra sharp for that one

[unique mason]

maybe there'll be a clue in the cover

[safe monolith]

surely

[uncut cargo]

Jesus christ

People are actually losing it

[onyx quarry]

[dapper wraith]

It's the start of the subathon isn't it?

[safe monolith]

yep

[dapper wraith]

Get ready to watch the stream 24/7 then. just in case there is a clue at 4am

[safe monolith]

we can take turns

[onyx quarry]

Can we fund a Google Glass to have the stream visible 24/7

[safe monolith]

ARG will be on unpaid on-call duty during the subathon

can we outsource to #livestream-chat

[uncut cargo]

we need to prepare schedule of duties and night watch

[unique mason]

just like the canvas wars

[distant girder]

sooo you are saying we are playing observation duty?

[uncut cargo]

Nice

I wonder how RNG is in this part

[uncut cargo]

Hey lads bit off topic but I have some cool idea

@timid swift would you consider yourself a president of this thread? Due to you being one of OGs on the ARG, managing the docs etc.
As I had an idea regarding https://discord.com/channels/574720535888396288/1181693143356280993
Could you in the name of the arg thread (that is if most agree to do so of course), to write some nice words for the anniversary on the canvas

[timid swift]

I'm just someone who had too much time on their hands and like organizing docs, not prez.
But I'm sure we can organize something. Let me check what that canvas thing is

Ok, I get it. It's like a group signed birthday card with doodles and stuff. I think it would be fun to add something. Maybe someone from here with 1+ drop of graphical-artistical blood would like to draw something ARG-themed? Cause that ain't me. Though I can see that Kaze (and someone else who did not credit themselves) already did make an ARG-neuro drawing so maybe we're good already :p
We can think a bit on what we want to write together. Inputs welcome! I think one of the key touching points for me is that the ARG has created a subculture even within the neurosphere, and I think that's something real special.

[pulsar glen]

Imagine a random clue drops at 3am of the first night and that makes everyone stay up all night for the rest of the subathon even though there will be nothing there

[timid swift]

at least an advantage of the earth being round and all that (hot take i know) is that it'll always be day for someone
