Ahh, so they should have used the portal address verbiage instead of galactic address to avoid the confusing them. Fine with me, portal addresses are easier imo. ---

If you have my synced clock open while you are at your 0.0 coords, it will show you how many seconds your character is off by since it updates live. From the data I received yesterday, some had 1-2 seconds ahead. Some had a 5-6 second drift. All are within the 16 second margin for error. It updates the clock once immediately on load, then re-runs it every 1000 milliseconds after that. Each time it fires, it pulls straight from your device’s system clock, converts that to planet time through the ‘utc to planet’ formula, and redraws both clock faces. So every tick is a fresh, independent read of “what time is it right now”. ---

I have a lot of apps open (connected to the ARG), so my pc is struggling. I discovered F12 now works but I have to NMS in fullscreen mode as opposed to windowed mode. So I have to tab now to check the Temporal Alignment times to compare. Should be okay now. Also have to feed the cat at the same UTC time. It’s now lunchtime (again lol) Temporarily align the cat’s food so the Universe doe not implode : ) ---

(On PC/Steam) I look at the world clock on my phone and press F12 several times to take screenshots quickly. Then I look at the files that Steam generates, their names are 12 numbers = a timestamp: E.g. 20260806 for the date, followed by six more digits for hour min sec. Followed by \_1, \_2 for screenshots taken within the same second. (I heard that consoles limit the screenshotting speed?) And then I compare the time in the screenshot and the timestamp in the file name, and delete the duplicates that are too early or too late, and keep the one in the middle. I assume that’s an acceptable approach? PS: no advice re: cat. 😸 ---
