I noticed a few mirror’d dates where one date was unverified and the other was simply not logged.

so I added a few memories…

The new update makes space battles vary in size, which means players should see bigger battles. This should bring it in line with the battles that were seen in early No Man’s Sky trailers. The ASA actually cleared the makers of No Man’s Sky of any wrongdoing, but fans will be happy to see that the space battles have been improved.

No Man’s Sky is under investigation in the UK for false advertising Gabriel | October 12, 2016 Gaming, PC, PlayStation When we reported on No Man’s Sky release on PC back in August, things didn’t start off too well for developer Hello Games. Well, it seems that it’s gone from bad to worse. PCGamer is now reporting that UK based organization Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) is looking into whether or not the promotional material matches what you get in the game. The ASA has received multiple complaints, but one Reddit user in particular (AzzerUK) received a response from them and cited it in a recent post. In it, s/he points out multiple items that they feel are ā€œmisleading and mis-representing [of] the actual gameā€. These range from aesthetic, to behavioral, to actual gameplay. And according to AzzerUK, their motivation for filing a complaint was that they were ā€œsimply fed up of people seeing complaints about such misleading practises on game forums and Reddits etc. but not actually doing much to try and change things.ā€ As PCGamer points out, ā€œthe ASA is a non-statutory body (which means it can’t interpret or enforce legislation), [but] it does have the power to have advertisements which breach its code of advertising practice removed—a process which of course prevents them from being used again.ā€ Removing ads does more than create a logistical item to check off, it puts doubt in people’s minds about the game and the developer. And for a game company whose only other franchise revolves around a seemingly Pixar-inspired stuntman, losing credibility over a much hyped game could be detrimental. To add insult to injury, the reviews of No Man’s Sky (as of 12-Oct-2016) are overwhelmingly negative on the Steam page. With all of that said, the game is a novel idea. Space exploration is always fun, and it uses the concept of procedurally generated maps, which are a great way to increase replayability. The question is if Hello Games can address the concerns of its user base. But since they’ve pretty much been quiet for the last month, we’ll just have to wait and see.

and now if you check those dates, the mirror date isn’t listed on the 2016_dataset line anymore!

WHAT THE EVER LOVING HELL?!?!

and Vector don’t believe me, cuz his bot didn’t detect it.

This post had a typo last nighy. 2017 was supposed to say 2016 here. This confirms I lost my mind last night.

the only other dates that appear to have a mirror date on that line are the dates our images got anchored to for puzzles…

WHY???

I am going to screenshot ever.single.thing from now on, cuz not being believed hurts pretty bad on this one fam. Not gonna lie.

I do not know about the mirrored 2016 dates and what they have to do with the 2017_dataset line (I must have missed something), but I would imagine that it helps to have submitted those memories regardless!

I wanted to say thank you for posting that ^ update yesterday! I could only stop by for a few minutes and your post here brought me right up to speed on what I had missed.

I realize today I stared at the screen too long yesterday.

Todd shared a link to a running archive on GGF site. It has no change listed.

Vector told me point blank the bots use the API I was trying to spontaneously learn. And to take a step back. And that I’m doing this to myself.

I… am terribly sorry for this mistake.

The recent developments kinda mirror my mind… fragments of thoughts until they connect and I realize what I was thinking (specifically with puzzles)

Something triggered me yesterday. Hard. And today I cannot discern what.

And this morning, seeing Archie’s email saying focus on 2016 makes me think I’m onto something, even if not what I thought…

I would say yes. A very personal memory I submitted over a month ago was anchored automatically by system the other day, just moments before it came clean to us and Archie about its deception at the weekend. It also led us to a new terminal command.

System loves personal memories from us, especially when they are emotionally charged :slight_smile:

Long time, been super busy.
Sorry I have fell behind, maybe you’ve seen my attempt at organizing lately?

With that said, I have been going over the beginning of the game, looking for some over looked informations…

[NMS], :

I gotta share this block o’ text

The WoL packet was blocked by something or someone

Something asked is this real, something else answered this is real

We knew very early that there was someone present within System

We have a memory from one dreamer, Alisha Brown (world fair)

We have a memory from another dreamer, Claire, the kiddo that like comicbooks and feared wasps.

We had all of this information BEFORE the system had any glitches

We also had the EMILY password to SUBMIT MEMORIES

We got the HAL9000 link, resurrected HAL having memory explored for cause of glitch THEN we got a glitched system sometime during memory submitting.

I am still researching, but wanted to illuminate this darkened path I am traversing… future past indeed!

This all feels very pertinent to what’s at hand today, in 2026.

Reincarnation is another name for resurrection.

Mnemosyne wasn’t just the goddess of memory; she possessed a lesser-known aspect – that of an oracle. Unlike the grand pronouncements of Delphi or the pronouncements of Apollo, Mnemosyne’s oracle was a place of whispers and echoes. Located deep within the earth in Boeotia, the oracle of Trophonius wasn’t for the faint of heart. Consultants seeking answers descended into a dark chasm, emerging forever changed by the cryptic messages gleaned from the depths. These messages, believed to be echoes from the forgotten past or whispers from the collective unconscious, resonated with Mnemosyne’s domain – the vast storehouse of memory. Perhaps the oracle wasn’t about predicting the future, but about unearthing truths buried deep within the well of time.
