July 24 2018 The Future Is Revealed

Seems to be confirming that NMS-related memories work too, not just WT.

Also first explicit reference to NMS so far, if I’m not mistaken?

Edit: this update is also technically one that Emily wasn’t around for…

Has anyone tried submitting the release date for Voyagers?

The title of the image is 44-65-73-69-67-6e-5f-6f-66-5f-74-68-65-5f-46-75-74-75-72-65.webp, hexadecimal for Design_of_the_Future. The memory is also “unverified”. I’m thinking we have to identify this statue perhaps

Taking a look at just one of the color channels makes it very clear it’s a real image. Now we just gotta identify I believe!

It was so relevant, I genuinely checked it wasnt an ai generated song made five minutes ago just to be sure :sweat_smile:

Does someone have a cleaned up version of the pic we got?

So somehow while I was losing my mind about “design of the future” connecting to the concert email, this entry stabilized.

I’m not sure why, Discord isn’t sure why, I haven’t seen anyone on here talk about it yet but I’m assuming no one here knows why, it might have something to do with finding the artist the email referred to but that makes no sense because this entry is clearly about NEXT.

But it’s stable now!

Just out of curiosity about the distorted image. I know how to separate RGB layers in an image in Paint.NET. How do the ARG pros shift these distortions back, is there a smart way? I don’t want to select each horizontal line of pixels and press the arrow key left or right for half an hour, 600 times per channel…?
PS: And, no, I do not want to ask an AI image generator for help. The shifting was introduced in a programmatical (albeit slightly random) way, so we can get it out in a programmatical way, right?

Yeah, that’s almost enough, pr1sm shared that on Discord. A sitting person in a hoodie? On a fake :wink: NMS meadow.

If the image is created from something already available on the net, it’s too distorted for image searches to find it. I’ve tried.

AI will not give an exact restoration - but it might clean up the image sufficiently to do a search on it.

It does remind me of the character on the front of the original box art a little.

Its certainly reminiscent of that early concept art we used to see.

It reminds me of the “I’ve found home” pictures that used to posted to Reddit a lot. With a picture of the player sitting on a hill, overlooking some Earth like planet.

These RGB channels might add some clarity to the process of repairing the image.
