Light No Fire

That scene is basically a meme now. Crypto communities overlay it with crypto prices going up

And isn’t the first 10 seconds of the clip an Indian parody of the Pirates Of The Caribbean theme?

Its a much older ā€œContinuousā€ ARG that Alice & Smith have been running for a while. The only weird thing is that the account’s started following me and other NMS Twitter accounts. Might just be to promote it though.

Yeah, The Black Watchmen already existed before the Waking Titan ARG, so it can’t be related, unless A & S change their lore to involve other fanbases

It seems like the team only lets Sean out of the dev closet a few weeks each year and he goes nuts posting all kinds of random nonsense that’s been pent up. Also, this is making some people think LNF will have fishing:

I think he finally realized the bad times of the past are gone and he is feeling the relief and freedom of being able to be himself again.
The number of watches on LNF and the good reception at the Game Awards has him riding high. I am so happy for all of them

One way I see the good ole’ bad days coming back is if they decide to do a console exclusive, that would make a large part of the fanbase go ballistic. I don’t think they would make that mistake, but the PS exclusive NMS had for a year and The Last Campfire’s Epic Games store exclusive worries me.

I’m sorry, it was so ridiculously OTT it had me laughing out loud. Worthy of Monty Python.

Watching the guy running around like an arrow pincushion, the lyrics kept changing in my head from ā€œhunger of the pineā€ to ā€œhunger porcupineā€.

We each deal with things in different ways. :smile: I am so happy for you.

That music video is very fitting to HGs position after NMS’ launch. They took several hits from the internet and gaming world. All the shots were essentially fatal career enting shots… and they kept standing tall and running. And now, at the game award, SM basically threw gasoline all over himself, like ā€œbring it on, I can take itā€.

And again with the fire…maybe why they chose this song?

Ah! That would explain the title!

Both have archery in them, so probably connected and why they chose the song, yes

Well, the black watchmen are now following me too. :eyes:
They were already following many other NMS players. On X

The keyboard player with Alt-J, Gus Unger-Hamilton, has said that the meaning of ā€œHunger of the Pineā€ is that the pain of missing someone (pining) is like hunger.

I was quite taken by the poetic comparison of bodily and emotional needs. So much so, that I plan a follow up. I can’t quite decide between ā€œSeparation Constipationā€ and ā€œMy Baby Left Me, So I Got A Big Macā€.

Hmmm, I personally can’t tell if anything changed, as I was already being watched … lol

I do know this though:

ARG Discord (A&S) - The Black Watchmen - posted on December 11th, 2023

Agents! We’ve done a major overhaul to TBW S1, S2, Mother Russia and AITDW to bring the game up to date. We’ve fixed issues in over 15 missions, moved puzzles to newer websites (RIP encipher.it) and updated the whole game to the Unity 2023 engine to provide faster load times, new video settings, Mac OS compatibility and more.

Before we make a full announcement on Steam, we need your help to test the changes! All content on NT4, Ahnayro and TBW should now be up to date and working correctly. If you find any issues in the games, please let us know in the ⁠technical-support channel. Thanks!

Oh, and stay tuned for something special!

Also found this Tweet that may be related to what is happening over at A&S:

Not clickbait, does point out things I haven’t seen people point out, like that janky horse tail XD

Alt J were one of those bands for me that held so much promise on their first album and then just fell apart with each subsequent release.

Hunger of the Pine is an easy watch compared to their video for Breezeblocks (reversed footage of domestic violence). I was very happy that 65DOS went on to do the full OST for NMS but I dunno if I want the same happening with Alt J. Just get 65dos again XD Get them to invest in pan flutes and a herdy gerdy…

I’ve posted this many times here, but while on the subject of 65DOS and OST’s, I thought I’d flaunt it here again.

They did select shows of a live scoring for Silent Running back in the day, always got the impression they were playing a crap load of Portal 2 when they scored this from the intro track '^ _^ Always revisit it (though I wish I could own a physical copy </3 )
