This thread is for any body to post whatever scratch pad, crazy sounding, dead end seeming thoughts on the ARG.
I will be creating new posts periodically with all the information related to the post topic I can find, with anything yâall reply included. Iâll edit my own posts to keep them updated to the best of my ability. This will be quite random, but I will do my best to maintain what I see here for all. This thread will not include everything, I cannot track it all. But this will be my attempt to bridge our different gatherings.
Do NOT expect the posts to be in order of release in the game itself. I am NOT that good.
Mods were nice enough to let us have this thread, please stay on topic and REPLY to the correct post with new info or corrections.
(When in doubt, reply to this post right here)

This is the postcard received today. Image directly linked, so the glitching isnât intact. The glitching was a slight movement and gray scale application every few frames.
The password to receive this message was
EVENT HORIZON
The way to get that solution was in the links in this:
Note:
the original postcard was found, but does not have a barcode in the top right.
I created an account to say thank you for starting this thread. I have been trying to follow along for the last few weeks with tabs open and getting overwhelmed. I was enjoying your posts, so Iâm glad to have this here. I think I will follow along better with this Benâs Random Bits thread. I donât know that I would have anything to contribute to solve the puzzles but hello anyway.
We have also chosen to make a concerted effort of sharing #GlitchingReality images to social media, as that was also a request, link immediately below,
Look to the postcard picture earlier in this thread for an example
I did not ask if this was a good idea

Operators.
I am watching you very closely today, just as I have for so long⊠I know each of you.
I know you have many questions, but unfortunately, I cannot answer most of them. Not for the moment, at least.
Know that your actions are crucial to Project-Skyscraper. The System reacts to your actions exactly as we predicted, even if it sometimes seems to hallucinate. That is what happens when one tries to recall distant events.If your own reality becomes unstable, report it to the other Operators: #GlitchingRealityIdentify anomalies in your environment: anything that breaks the continuity of reality offers a clue regarding the Systemâs hallucinations.
Your efforts are not in vain. Every thread you weave brings us closer to the goal. Memory is a labyrinth with no exit; every corridor explored may reveal a fragment of information. And every fragment shared is a memory solidified.
A time will come when things become crystal clear. And you will be proud to have contributed. But that time has not yet arrived. I have been working on this project for many years.
You will understand.
The Architect
PS: , I am counting on you for the translation. It is the meaning that matters, not the words.
I didnât read the linked thread before making the text hidden. Took many edits. I finally got this figured it out in this moment. Oh well. Practice makes perfect, right?
This screenshot is from the new emotional #glitchingreality memory created in the Discord chat today.
Thanks for the welcome! It was cool seeing a thread started by the architect this morning. I have no idea what counts as my own reality becoming unstable, so I wouldnât know what to post with that hashtag. However, it made me think of user 7101334âs comment about how the memories being âstabilizedâ seem like they have errors in them. Also, the âthreads you weaveâ line in the letter made me think of @BenRâs comment yesterday about the puzzles all seeming connected instead of separate. Is that why restoration is still just sitting at 1/365 even though so many of the entries are labelled as âstableâ? And todayâs page (2021 dataset) about finding a safe haven made me think of this specific thread here, because here I am feeling brave enough to post finally. Of course, itâs not related because this topic was started yesterday, not Feb 25 2021.
I think you might be on to something, as you could say you and I are Nada and Polo and we just found the bits that became our own Anomalie.
Even if not intentional, this fits beautifully.
On Discord, a user told their little boy about the game and he pointed out a transmission pole of some sort. Long story short, the kiddo is the next generation and Dad âfound an emotional memory to shareâ
Iâm hoping someone else can screenshot and post it, maybe even this here is enough, idk.
Future-past! Youâre right. Ugh that really complicates it all doesnât it? Wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff. Itâs hard to know what weâre supposed to trust or what weâre supposed to question.
If your own reality becomes unstable, report it to other Operators : #GlitchingReality
I think this means to say, that if we have memories of events but are not quite sure of the specifics (date/time, the memory itself, or otherwise), we should discuss this with each other (operators), and if we do so on social media we should include the hashtag with it?
I believe the above to be important as the âsystemâ is trying to put it all together in order to remember clearly, through our recollection of events? At least that is what it seems like to me.
This is what I was thinking. I tried to envision this with some lanyards from Dublin World Con, a convention that has been running for 100 years and focuses on all things Sci Fi from literature to movies and TV. This was the first year in its history it was held in my country.
I also added the 10th anniversary of DublinMaker, a confused memory to allude to the upcoming NMS 10th anniversary.
I also started a new thread for this, so we can catalogue and archive what people are sharing on social media, for those who do not venture into such wild waters.
Hmm, well never mind what I said about wondering why we were still stuck at 1/365. I was making a list of all the dates and a note about each when I noticed that a bunch of new pages for 2016 exist now (which I see that the Haven map also logged) and the memory bloc restoration is up to 36/365. Itâs interesting that the new pages skip right over NMSâs launch day. Waking Titan comes up again in the new page with todayâs date, which even though I was a day 1 NMS player, I didnât have any engagement with WT. My dad (also a day 1 NMS player) did - he told me a little about it but I didnât have time to think twice about it then. Iâm trying to stay up to date with this one in his memory. He would have LOVED this arg. But I know next to nothing about WT so the inside stuff goes over my head. (Tried to read up about it a bit a few weeks ago, but .. thereâs a lot.)
Sorry to hear he has passed on from this plane but happy to have you hear with us carrying that torch.
If its any comfort, I was here for all of waking titan and I dont think theres anything that I can tell myself right now that would be of any aid for me in solving this
I updated todays post. Sorry for the delay, life happening.
Sorry to hear about your Dad. I used to play Galaga on our C64 with my Dad, in the 90âs. Got him back in to gaming before he passed, much too soon to be a part of No Manâs Sky.
Happy memories. Thank you for surfacing them.
Iâll keep doing my best to post the big changes, day by day⊠just worried I mightâve missed something.
I am updating the daily posts through out the day, and sometimes the next (if I slept too early or otherwise missed details).
