There’s going to be an entire wiki article dedicated to just explaining the in-jokes at some point in our future

I’ve been noisemaking from those binary data matrices. I hear nothing meaningful, but also not entirely random noise.
python script
pip install mido
from mido import MidiFile, MidiTrack, Message
mid = MidiFile()
track = MidiTrack()
mid.tracks.append(track)
STEP = 160 # ticks per row
BASE = 60 # C4
filename = "4x192"
rows = open(filename+".txt").read().splitlines()
for row in rows:
notes = []
for i, bit in enumerate(row):
if bit == "1":
note = BASE + i
notes.append(note)
track.append(
Message('note_on',
note=note,
velocity=80,
time=0)
)
if notes:
first = True
for n in notes:
track.append(
Message('note_off',
note=n,
velocity=0,
time=STEP if first else 0)
)
first = False
else:
track.append(
Message('note_off',
note=0,
velocity=0,
time=STEP)
)
mid.save(filename+'.mid')

Reposting here for those who are not on NMSCord and may not see the membloc verification topic I shared this in. But I think most are already on board with the process/pattern:
The hallucination images are tied to specific memories. Our job is to uncover the memory the hallucination is entangled with.
I was looking at the hallucination images through the lens of visually identifying details in each, then tying them to NMS-specific memories and their corresponding dates.
For hallucination ID 0A8BB0156734, there’s an exo-mech in the image, so I went with the No Man’s Sky: Exo Mech update day.
Exo Mech memory submission (1586217600)
Hallucination ID [ 0A8BB0156734 ] sent me here. No Man’s Sky: Exo Mech released on this day [ nomanssky.com/exo- mech-update/ ]. Travellers joked that it’s ““No Man’s Titanfall”” and we absolutely loved it. I remember seeing the stylized decal on the exo mech and thinking it looked like a smiley face, so I made a meme out of it and the thing went viral on Reddit [ r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/htp1kt/all_these_new_updates_have_me_like/
].
To test, I also submitted a 2016 article about a Korean company that built a mech for handling radioactive material.
Korean Mech memory submission (1482278400)
Hallcuination ID [ 0A8BB0156734 ]: 13-foot-tall Korean mech suit aims to assist with Fukushima cleanup [ 13-foot-tall Korean mech suit aims to assist with Fukushima cleanup ] Vitaly Bulgarov’s Method-1 by Korea Future Technology is a gigantic mech suit standing 13 feet tall, and as well as looking like it’s straight out of a video game, it’s actually designed to be functional.
System chose the 2020 No Man’s Sky date.
I think this is important for us to know because it’s a massive clue into how we’re meant to be handling the hallucination images.
