Hey Travelers! In today’s video, we’re discussing all things, quarterbacks prime! From its formation, it didn’t have it in, and it’s several monitors. So sit back, relax, and grab a snack - because this one is another doozy! Don’t forget to like and subscribe, and as always, sweet, rift walkers, I’ll see you tonight.
Could have been a boltzmann brain. A spontaneous production of a fully formed sentient brain capable of thought and experience, and is the product of quantum fluctuations in the fabric of an infinite universe. Physicists theorize it's actually possible for it to just pop up in space.
@@yourbuddyunitsome have suggested this before but, as I understand it, the spontaneity is a key aspect of this? The lore directly points the it being an earlier iteration of the atlas, though HOW it came about is up for debate. Is there anything in what we know that supports this theory? Certain a “brain formed in the void” seems to support it…
I’m a new No Man’s sky player of like 9 days and I’m completely obsessed now. These videos are awesome to get caught up with everyone that has been playing for years. Keep it up!
Mate these videos are bloody incredible, I know this lore pretty well but you're filling gaps I didn't even know I had ❤ Sincerely, an Iteration 1 Traveller.
*I only just started playing "No Man's Sky" 2 days ago & I am FUCKIN' ADDICTED!!! The reason why I never tried it before, years ago, when it released, was because of it being a very "boring" game, that wasn't as big as everyone thought it was going to be... BUT after the years of development, it seems like "No Man's Sky" finally made the perfect game that everyone wanted, all with FREE updates, which is normally unheard of, ESPECIALLY when it comes to the "Live Service" game genre, which I'm not sure NMS could be considered a "Live Service" game but it's AMAZING to see HUGE updates & overhauls were given to the player base for FREE...* *So 2 days ago, I wanted to give "Starfield" some more play time, since I haven't beat the game yet, even though I have over 200 hours in the game 😅, because I spend most of my time just exploring & also the new updates, like the new vehicle you can travese planets with but after playing it for only like 20 mins, I heard a video I was watching mention the updates & overhauls NMS got and how it made the game 100x better & a damn near perfect masterpiece when it comes to space exploration...* *So I checked the Xbox Game Pass for PC & seen that NMS was free for Game Pass. So I downloaded it on my PC & was ABSOFUCKINLUTELY BLOWN AWAY that the game was only 18GB's & Starfield was over 150GB's but NMS is so much bigger.... Now after playing for like 12 hours or more, NMS has me completely addicted. Its a little overwhelming because there is so much to learn but that is what the game is all about... There so many questions I have about the Lore of NMS and these videos are ABSOFUCKINLUTELY AMAZING!!! PLEASE KEEP THESE VIDEOS COMING.* *Also, is there any super important tips & tricks anyone can give me? Also, is there a quick & easy way to explain the lore &/or story of the game in laymans terms? Lol. Thanks in advance! Keep up the great work travelers!*
Hey! Welcome to No Man’s Sky! I’m happy you’re enjoying the videos. The quick n dirty lore story is humans built a machine that can see the future by simulating every possible outcome of every possible decision. Once it predicted the end of the Earth, humans left the planet and left the machine behind. That machine simulates No Man’s Sky to try to understand why its creators left it behind all while it faces the end of the Earth scenario it predicted… all of that is outside of the game we play - we’re just meant to explore while the machine watches and learns from us… but once it dies, the simulation ends.
@@GhostLightXE*man!!! This was a great way to explain it, even though its extremely dumbed down, it actually just made me understand what's going on even more! Of course it's a trillion times more in depth than this but it still helps to actually know the base of it all.* *I have been ABSOFUCKINLUTELY LOVING THIS GAME... I've been watching your lore videos over & over, trying to soak up all the details. Not to mention, your voice is hypnotizing & relaxing, all while at the same time, stern & serious. Your voice was built for this, you should look into voice acting on TH-cam, for other content creators, movies, video games &/or audio books!* *I think I have like 40 or more hours already in 3 days & still have so much to learn & explore. Outside of the story & main quests, what are the best 1-3 tips that you could give a new player, like myself? Thank you so much in advance, my brother! I have a couple homies that have been asking about Lore videos, so I will make sure to point them here! Keep up the great work! Thank you for all the videos homie... Really hope to see more in the future!*
This series is simply the best. I’ve been playing for years but I was never able to put the story together like you have. It makes the game so much better to have this handy lore guide
Thanks! There’s just SO MUCH to do after the main story, it’s hard for one person to collect all the elements fully needed to connect the dots. I’m glad you found it helpful AND it enhances your gameplay!
I just realised the Gek kay have been inspired by the Rakata in the Star Wars Legends canon. They enslave others and spread through the galaxy to dominate other species. Of course, this influence may have come from any number of galactic-focused sci-fi series like Dune, which Star Wars took heavy inspiration (if not outright stealing of ideas) from
*My first "gun" I got last night (I am brand new to the game, got it 2 days ago), IIRC, is called "The Rakata" or maybe I seen a gun named that, at the traders.*
I know the word Atlas from german, being a map of the Earth, either like the "Globus", a round earthmap, or a book with the geographical and geotonic data of the earth and all.
【Shades Finnish Pirates】🤟---👒----🤟 Now i can start to watch this lore playlist, i got thorough the main questline / the autophage questline and now this Lore series is spoiler free for me 29:34 Korva means "Ear" in finnish, like the story that Santa Claus lives in Korvatunturi in Finland "Ear Mountain" and he can hear all the wishes of the children of earth from there. That's some earth lore for you, in appreciation of your perfect narrator voice and thank you for your efforts!
I bet not... having a "Eye" "Silmä" would make sense since Korvax & Autophage have only one eye without counting the Autophage we construct at the Anomaly who has five and if it would be connected it's because Korvax & Autophage listen to the Void Mother & Atlas or since the Korvax live in hivemind listening to each other all the time.@@GhostLightXE
*Something feels so eerie, probably because of the story & its details being discussed, when looking at the Subscription count on your channel, being "6.66K" ....* 😂😅🧐🙃🤯 *It's also a little funny, only if you know about the "lore" behind placing a "K" behind some words, that there is a "K" after the subscriber count... Because in Street Gangs "Lore", placing the letter "K" behind a word &/or number, means "Killer" &/or "Kill"... So bascially "6.66Killer" which could be interpreted as "Devil Killer" since "666" is often thought of as an "Demonic Number"... I'm not super religious so I cannot remember the reason why "666" is seen as Demonic, IIRC it's because of the number of devils or something like that.* 😅
If anyone hasn't seen The Internet Historian's "The Ingoodening of No Man's Sky" video, you should. I watch it every time i hear news about big NMS updates and its just as good as ever. And it gives a really thoughtful opinion wrapped in comedy. A must see
@@GhostLightXE definitely a TH-cam masterpiece. And I have to say with your narration, storytelling and research is putting this series at the same level but with a completely different experience
this some good content, I love finding other TH-camrs that have such an appreciation for complicated sci-fi lore which sci-fi is my favorite genre like cyberpunk and the Kardashev scale, and when I got this game, I was not expecting the amount of condensed world building that I can’t get enough of, world building is one of my favorite parts of game design is learning the world through the characters and world you’re put in, it makes it feel so much more real when I’m playing it and makes me want to explore to figure out all of these mysteries and choose my own side, subscribed.
Welcome and thank you so much! 🙏 I’ve been playing since launch but never truly appreciated the lore until I started making these videos. Now I can’t get enough!!!
16 glyphs, so there should be 16 Elixer of blood types? Im wearing my foil hat and looking into lore of dreams about green skies, obsidian moons and oceans of blood. Maybe there are 16 moon types, 16 fragments, and 16 glyphs. One blood type per moon that are echoes of Korvax Prime in a fragmented way. The combined moons would make Korvax Prime whole again
Well - the abandoned building lore is a little disjoined, with various authors doing unrelated things at various time. Interestingly, the “oceans of blood” passage was been around since the game released, before any of the modern lore of NMS was updated to the game. The events of Odvinsko seems to speak more to the failings of the boundaries of the multiverse, with the author finding a seemly alternate or future versions of themselves - green skies and obsidian moon was the description of the planet that they ultimately found destroyed. The origins of elixirs of blood are still unclear - I have a theory about how they relate to each location but I’m still working on my second play through.
Indeed! A post-traumatic stress induced reaction! Thank you greatly! I truly appreciate it. I’m very excited to dive into these last 2 arcs of new lore and tie it all together.
Thank you for making this video. So many people know absolutely nothing about the lore and make insane assumptions that are as far from right as one can get. Anyways, I’m so excited to see how this story concludes!
You’re very welcome! That’s why I started this lore series - I wanted to make speculation videos but would find that I didn’t know enough to draw any conclusions. So glad to hear you’re enjoying this one!
Gracias Ghosthlight, soy de la comunidad hispana, no se hablar ingles, pero gracias a los subtitulos de youtube te puedo entender. Hace tiempo que buscaba un video que hable del lore de No man's sky, pero la mayoría solo hablaba de la historia de como resurgió gracias a el esfuerzo de Hello Games.
¡Ningún problema! ¡Estoy feliz de que la tecnología nos permita comunicarnos y enriquecer nuestra comunidad NMS! ¡Me encanta hacer los videos de historia! El video de actualización de ecos se lanzará hoy para los miembros de mi canal y el viernes para la comunidad en general, ¡así que estad atentos! Pido disculpas por cualquier error: ¡todo esto fue el traductor de Google! jajaja Mi mujer es española pero no me ha enseñado nada!
Really wow... Just the second video so far but this is fantastic. I played on and off for the first few updates so not much story then so this is a nice way to catch up since I started playing again. NMS was the last game I ever Pre-orderd. It was that bad at release lol.
Thank you! Yeah, I hear you. I pre-ordered and played for a very short time. Picked it back up after Atlas rises. It’s definitely redeemed itself but that doesn’t stop them from continually trying. Lol
@@GhostLightXE their development cycle is amazingly innovative. From what I can tell they are testing Light No Fire features in NMS. Not only does it extensively test features for LNF but it keeps NMS alive and fresh.
*Dammit, I am getting mindblown by all these damn AI therioes & crazy realities you are hitting us with... And then I look at the subsciber count & it's "6.66" subscriptions 😂😂* *I think you must have pissed God off by talking about these other "God Like" AI programs.* 😅😂💀
Someone who lives for these lore videos like me I absolutely love the videos you put out you put so much detail into them I wish people like me who are looking for these the youtubr algorithm gives it to them keep up the work
You're the mynameisbyf of no Man's sky and I'm here for it. Keep this up, never give it up. Voice is on point, if you are looking for other projects to do, may I suggest reading short stories and such.
Thank you! I truly appreciate that. I’ve really been enjoying making the content for the channel, especially the scripting and voice work. I’d love to branch of into some other voice stuff - the short stories idea is interesting. Maybe stories submitted by the community? That’d be fun!
Ay, bro, just wanted to let you know I subbed. Your voice is pretty killer and you seem to have a good mic too. And perhaps the initial reason I clicked on the video, the lore. I definitly appreciate a nice long format video for the lore as I've definitly been looking to learn more about NMS's universe. So I just wanted to let you know this is appreciated.
Fantastic! I truly appreciate that. I LOVE the lore of NMS and I enjoy finding others who feel the same! Thank you for your support and welcome to the channel! I JUST started a discord, which I’ve just started populating with ship/MT finds, but also a lore discussion board. Hope to see more of you around the channel! discord.gg/qphdnJpBm2
ADHD VIEWERS READ THIS: We can all agree this guys content is f*cking awesome! By far the most detailed account of lore I have personally ever come across. If you're like me, and it took you 5+ sittings to watch ep1. Try putting the video on 1.25x speed. I made it through this whole thing without me getting distracted!
@@GhostLightXE dude I mean no disrespect I love your content and your narrative provides an incredibly moody atmosphere. I'm just a bit wonky upstairs and go off on internal tangents because of what you're saying lol ❤️🙌
@@GhostLightXE dude please don't take it to heart! Honestly your narrative is perfect for anyone who isn't wonky like me. Which is the vast majority! It provides such a moody atmosphere and room for ponder. My message was purely for people like me, who love your content but the pauses allow us to go into deep thought and once you speak again we're already gone. It was not advice for you to change the way to deliver your content ❤️
*I like to play both, Starfield & No Man's Sky, all while doing a little light "Roleplay", in regards to the two different games....* *Starfield, I like to play & believe that it takes place a thousand or so years before No Man's Sky... So when I play No Man's Sky, I like to believe that it's just way in the future of Starfield! Lol.*
Yeah, i love the video amd i think you have the best conceptualization ive heard on TH-cam about how the things are connected. Unless i missed it though i believe you left out one very important thing: nanomachines, son. The currency the gek and all of use use is the remnants of korvax prime and the stuff of the korvax/aeron/sentinels. Its a sentient grey goop. Regretfully the best analogy i have is what they did to the venom symbiote origin retcon in marvel comics.
Thank you! …and don’t worry - all “Dark Times” of the Korvax and how they subjugated their oppressors are covered in the video I’m working on now. Starts with the “Dark Times” and ends just before Interceptor.
@@GhostLightXE groovy. I've got to go catch up on chapter one. I'm new to the game and think I have a major data gap in regards to Telemon and some other lore. I thought I finally found most of the story and opened a door and found a terminal I've not seen before but haven't crafted remembrance on this save file.
@@GhostLightXE your pronunciation has 3 T's. It sounds like you're saying "exTistential" rather than "exIStential". It's funny to me because you pronounce existence perfectly. No hate, love the videos. Didn't even realize NMS had lore until I found part 1 😅
That’s a tough one. Typically the AIs create life through simulations that it’s running - like, we’re actually playing the game from inside one of the atlas’ simulations, internally. It’s unclear if the Atlantid played a role in converting the Korvax from biological to technological beings. It’s kind of implied but never confirmed. The subsequent AIs cant create new life in our simulation outright. Only the atlas can.
@@GhostLightXE The Atlantid is currently able to effect the universe. It stands to reason that the other two would have that ability as well. Maybe the Gek's AI influenced the evolution of the Gek.
True, it can effect the universe around it but not create and edit it as the Atlas can. That’s why her influence is so weak in her current state, she doesn’t have write access. She read only. Now, she MAY have influence of simulation 19 on the prime terminal! That make be something!
Edit: Since alantid is atlas i think it is the same supercomputer as the atlas. How they could have seperated due to the million of years of simulation and then the atlas Sub-systen became self-aware or through the stress of not knowing their fate. I think proof of thing interconflict is how aspect of the atlas are always fighting each other in the simulation. Gek V Korvax, and Vk'yeen V the sentinels.
The lore says the Atlantid was born of an earlier version of the Atlas, which is a bit of a nod to Waking Titan. And being a brain formed in the void, there isn’t anything linking the Atlantid’s creation to the Atlas - but at this point it’s anyone’s guess!
@@GhostLightXE Well you defiantly know more than me. Me reasoning is that they both can alter the atlas's simulation. so i wouldnt know any other reason why adlantid could do so if it wasent a part of the computer
@@keetoeg This is true. I don't think they are one and the same, they are both similar entities that I think may end up joining at some point... BUT... the Atlantid is something unique in the simulation and she has been slowly gaining power over the simulation over time. I don't think of it as being the same computer (technically this is ALL happening in the same computer), that's why I say it's all about software. Even the hardware of the Atlas is technically just part of a simulation of its own - if you believe Waking Titan.
Im new to the game, a few days of play, but what if all this is a simulation within a simulation, if that "more compact" atlas, the one brought with us when we abandoned the atlas, is simulating what happened to its predecessor
@@GhostLightXE I think it would be really interesting to find out that all of this was the dream of a machine mourning the loss of its predicessor Dreaming of what it must have been like for atlas, what it would have tried to do Edit: not that it isn't interesting now, it's sort of beautiful in a way, but part of me hopes that something, someone, comes to save atlas
@@GhostLightXE I was only stating a preference. I don't know if its ever been said aloud by HG. But your content is amazing! Please keep up with this series and I'd love to see some discussion of your own interpretation and ideas. If you're interested in maybe making a podcast of lore, update news etc, I'd love to collaborate ^^
Thanks! We talk a bit of lore during the live streams and I’m almost done with the next lore video. Join the discord and hop on the voice chat next stream! We can talk all the lore you want!
There is an annoying Bootstrap Paradox that holds up the lore of NMS that everyone just ignores. There are two constants across all universes of the Atlas. The Atlas and the Sentinels. The galaxies are not in synch in time. This means that some universes are millions to billions of years ahead of others. There are multiple contradictions in the story we are given and it's due to this time dilation. The first offense was neither Sentinel nor First Spawn. It was the First Traveler and every traveler. The first sentinel screamed when we cut it open. Whenever this happened the sentinels became hostile across all galaxies in all times. The First Spawn destroyed Korvax Prime in part as retribution for the genocide on Balareon but the destruction of Korvax Prime is what we are told brought the Sentinels back... But the vykeen had already been fighting the sentinels. The Korvax were forced to take human form by the gek but the Korvax were already making living ship biological mechanical hybrids before Korvax Prime was destroyed. I appreciate your video. I think the Atlas and Atlantid have a relationship similar to Izanagi and Izanami in that they are seventh generation gods confused for prime creators. They are brother and sister, father and mother, pattern and matrix. There is a deeper story that is kind of out there but it seems like humanity's last hope was to enter the Atlas as sentient echos and live in the time dilation as the 16 minutes count down. Nada's simulation in the matrix is our escape into another lower level giving us the 19th minute.
Subnote: in my head cannon the First Spawn we meet in the base archive computer is the Echo of Nal in the world of glass. The reptilian Vykeen are the evolved remnants of the amphibious First Spawn who left the spawning pools to escape the nanites.
I talk a bit about the asynchronous nature of the multiverse a bit in this video. I like where you’re going with this but your making a few leaps that contradict some of the in-game source. First: Laylaps - cutting into laylaps and the relationship it builds with that traveler (who I’d like to link to null but there is t enough evidence to confirm) was setup by the Void Mother. She’s the one who named him saying it would be a name familiar to the traveler. So, Korvax Prime would have already been destroyed at that point, at least some universes. I don’t know that there is canonical evidence for the “who shot first” debate between the Vy’keen and sentinels but considering the technophobic nature of the former and the peaceful nature of the latter (pre-korvax prime destruction), my money would be on the Vy’keen. Interesting thought about escaping to Nada’s simulation though. The void mother’s plan involves converging all travelers “in the form of null” to reconstruct the creator (its in the upcoming video) so I wonder why she would need the creator of Nada already has a simulation? Hmm…
Sorry - forgot to mention. The destruction of Korvax Prime brought the sentinels back - the war with the Vy’keen had pushed them further into the outer edge, away from Korvax Prime. I talk about this a bit in that video as well as reference the in-game content.
@@GhostLightXE I believe it was one of the boundary failures that gave the story of the sentinels committing genocide on Balareon as one of the first instances of system failure. The contradictions are kind of my point. The lore is canonically contradictory hence the anomaly. I only focus on the first traveler killing the first sentinel as the first offense as it seems to be the story that comes up the most often and Null is very vague about what exactly he did and there are many instances where the game seems to be hinting that the sentinels are as "human" as the travelers or at least that the travelers, sentinels, Korvax, vykeen and gek are all more related than seem at first appearance.
@@GhostLightXE I just started the chapter one video and it already referenced things I hadn't heard anyone bring up before. How they were testing if their universe was the real world or a simulation by measuring for lag when running their own simulation of the universe is brilliant and should be in more sci Fi. I figure that rather than crossing comments I should make a better summary of what I mean and shoot you a long form message later on. One of the things I find appealing about this game is how my perception of things has changed over multiple playthroughs. First time through, Nada was a helpful friendly stranger with a Lifeboat archiving data about their universe and giving anomalies a home. Playing the Artemis path after the recent expedition give many of her lines subjective meaning.
Haha. Thank you? It’s not, but I’ve thought about using one of those AI voice apps to automate my voiceovers using my own voice as a reference. That’d make everything so much easier.

Something else we can blame on the Atlas’ degradation!

Welcome to the channel! 🙏
Didn't expect the lore between Korvax and Gek to be this dark. Jesus.
Lol. Right? The NMS lore is not for the faint of heart.
amazing work thank you

Of course, this influence may have come from any number of galactic-focused sci-fi series like Dune, which Star Wars took heavy inspiration (if not outright stealing of ideas) from
It wouldn’t surprise me AT ALL. Much of the story (and in-game elements) seem to be “inspired” by popular, spaced-based sci-fi.

I'm not super religious so I cannot remember the reason why "666" is seen as Demonic, IIRC it's because of the number of devils or something like that.* 😅
If anyone hasn't seen The Internet Historian's "The Ingoodening of No Man's Sky" video, you should. I watch it every time i hear news about big NMS updates and its just as good as ever. And it gives a really thoughtful opinion wrapped in comedy. A must see
Yes! It’s fantastic and I think of it often. Lol
@@GhostLightXE definitely a TH-cam masterpiece. And I have to say with your narration, storytelling and research is putting this series at the same level but with a completely different experience
@@McLovinMods 🙏
Started playing a couple days ago! Liked and subbed!
Welcome to the channel AND the simulation!
this some good content, I love finding other TH-camrs that have such an appreciation for complicated sci-fi lore which sci-fi is my favorite genre like cyberpunk and the Kardashev scale, and when I got this game, I was not expecting the amount of condensed world building that I can’t get enough of, world building is one of my favorite parts of game design is learning the world through the characters and world you’re put in, it makes it feel so much more real when I’m playing it and makes me want to explore to figure out all of these mysteries and choose my own side, subscribed.
Welcome and thank you so much! 🙏
I’ve been playing since launch but never truly appreciated the lore until I started making these videos. Now I can’t get enough!!!
16 glyphs, so there should be 16 Elixer of blood types? Im wearing my foil hat and looking into lore of dreams about green skies, obsidian moons and oceans of blood. Maybe there are 16 moon types, 16 fragments, and 16 glyphs. One blood type per moon that are echoes of Korvax Prime in a fragmented way. The combined moons would make Korvax Prime whole again
Well - the abandoned building lore is a little disjoined, with various authors doing unrelated things at various time. Interestingly, the “oceans of blood” passage was been around since the game released, before any of the modern lore of NMS was updated to the game.
The events of Odvinsko seems to speak more to the failings of the boundaries of the multiverse, with the author finding a seemly alternate or future versions of themselves - green skies and obsidian moon was the description of the planet that they ultimately found destroyed.
The origins of elixirs of blood are still unclear - I have a theory about how they relate to each location but I’m still working on my second play through.
So that’s why the sentinels go psycho when I just want to harvest some carbon. Great video btw, I can’t wait to see what else you have in store.
Indeed! A post-traumatic stress induced reaction! Thank you greatly! I truly appreciate it. I’m very excited to dive into these last 2 arcs of new lore and tie it all together.
Thank you for making this video. So many people know absolutely nothing about the lore and make insane assumptions that are as far from right as one can get. Anyways, I’m so excited to see how this story concludes!
You’re very welcome! That’s why I started this lore series - I wanted to make speculation videos but would find that I didn’t know enough to draw any conclusions. So glad to hear you’re enjoying this one!
Gracias Ghosthlight, soy de la comunidad hispana, no se hablar ingles, pero gracias a los subtitulos de youtube te puedo entender.
Hace tiempo que buscaba un video que hable del lore de No man's sky, pero la mayoría solo hablaba de la historia de como resurgió gracias a el esfuerzo de Hello Games.
¡Ningún problema! ¡Estoy feliz de que la tecnología nos permita comunicarnos y enriquecer nuestra comunidad NMS!
¡Me encanta hacer los videos de historia! El video de actualización de ecos se lanzará hoy para los miembros de mi canal y el viernes para la comunidad en general, ¡así que estad atentos!
Pido disculpas por cualquier error: ¡todo esto fue el traductor de Google! jajaja Mi mujer es española pero no me ha enseñado nada!
Really wow... Just the second video so far but this is fantastic. I played on and off for the first few updates so not much story then so this is a nice way to catch up since I started playing again. NMS was the last game I ever Pre-orderd. It was that bad at release lol.
Thank you! Yeah, I hear you. I pre-ordered and played for a very short time. Picked it back up after Atlas rises. It’s definitely redeemed itself but that doesn’t stop them from continually trying. Lol
@@GhostLightXE their development cycle is amazingly innovative. From what I can tell they are testing Light No Fire features in NMS. Not only does it extensively test features for LNF but it keeps NMS alive and fresh.
Absolutely loving this series. Subscribed!
I truly appreciate it! Welcome to the channel!
*Dammit, I am getting mindblown by all these damn AI therioes & crazy realities you are hitting us with... And then I look at the subsciber count & it's "6.66" subscriptions 😂😂*
*I think you must have pissed God off by talking about these other "God Like" AI programs.* 😅😂💀
What? I see 6.68K 😂
Someone who lives for these lore videos like me I absolutely love the videos you put out you put so much detail into them I wish people like me who are looking for these the youtubr algorithm gives it to them keep up the work
Thank you! I appreciate that!
never clicked follow so fast after you asked in this video :D actualy forgot about it on part one
Wow! That actually works?! Lol. Thanks for the follow and welcome to the channel!
Very good. Thanks again for the immersive story telling.
Thanks! I appreciate that… and you’re very welcome!
You're the mynameisbyf of no Man's sky and I'm here for it. Keep this up, never give it up. Voice is on point, if you are looking for other projects to do, may I suggest reading short stories and such.
Thank you! I truly appreciate that. I’ve really been enjoying making the content for the channel, especially the scripting and voice work. I’d love to branch of into some other voice stuff - the short stories idea is interesting. Maybe stories submitted by the community? That’d be fun!
Thanks for the vid mate, I instantly subscribed 😁
Thanks and welcome!
Subscribed!!
Great! I’m glad you liked the first two! Welcome to the channel!
Nice video! Your voice massages my brain... Get out of my head! 😂
No! I’m in here now! Lol. Thank you, much appreciated!
Ay, bro, just wanted to let you know I subbed. Your voice is pretty killer and you seem to have a good mic too. And perhaps the initial reason I clicked on the video, the lore. I definitly appreciate a nice long format video for the lore as I've definitly been looking to learn more about NMS's universe. So I just wanted to let you know this is appreciated.
Fantastic! I truly appreciate that. I LOVE the lore of NMS and I enjoy finding others who feel the same! Thank you for your support and welcome to the channel! I JUST started a discord, which I’ve just started populating with ship/MT finds, but also a lore discussion board. Hope to see more of you around the channel!
discord.gg/qphdnJpBm2
ADHD VIEWERS READ THIS: We can all agree this guys content is f*cking awesome! By far the most detailed account of lore I have personally ever come across.
If you're like me, and it took you 5+ sittings to watch ep1. Try putting the video on 1.25x speed. I made it through this whole thing without me getting distracted!
😬 I start talking faster as the episodes go on! Lol
But also, thank you for the kind words! Truly appreciated
@@GhostLightXE dude I mean no disrespect I love your content and your narrative provides an incredibly moody atmosphere. I'm just a bit wonky upstairs and go off on internal tangents because of what you're saying lol ❤️🙌
@@Dorenchno worries! It was some feedback I got early on that I took to heart. I’m glad you’re enjoying the series! I hope to have a new chapter soon!
@@GhostLightXE dude please don't take it to heart! Honestly your narrative is perfect for anyone who isn't wonky like me. Which is the vast majority! It provides such a moody atmosphere and room for ponder.
My message was purely for people like me, who love your content but the pauses allow us to go into deep thought and once you speak again we're already gone. It was not advice for you to change the way to deliver your content ❤️
Subbed, bell rung. This was a great 2 parter
Thanks! I truly appreciate that!
My theory is that the Atlantid is what remains of Loop16 in the Atlas' programming 🤔
It’s IS said to be created from an early version of the Atlas…
Great delivery man. You really have a good storytelling voice👍 got me hooked🙏
Thank you! I appreciate that!
sounds like an ai voice
*I like to play both, Starfield & No Man's Sky, all while doing a little light "Roleplay", in regards to the two different games....*
*Starfield, I like to play & believe that it takes place a thousand or so years before No Man's Sky... So when I play No Man's Sky, I like to believe that it's just way in the future of Starfield! Lol.*
Very nice! I like that
We enjoy the content ty
I’m happy to hear that! Thank you!
I honestly don't remember why I didn't earlier. At least, I think I don't? Subbed.
Whaaaaat?! It was YOU?! Lol. Much appreciated, Traveler-friend!
@@GhostLightXE HaHa! our welcome :)
Ty so for this I've made several iterations and still did not know what was going on. Ty
Happy to help! Working on the next one now!
Very good storytelling, its all making sense now.
Yay! We’ve solved it! Definitely excited to FINALLY start the dive into the Expedition parts of the lore.
Yeah, i love the video amd i think you have the best conceptualization ive heard on TH-cam about how the things are connected.
Unless i missed it though i believe you left out one very important thing: nanomachines, son.
The currency the gek and all of use use is the remnants of korvax prime and the stuff of the korvax/aeron/sentinels. Its a sentient grey goop. Regretfully the best analogy i have is what they did to the venom symbiote origin retcon in marvel comics.
Thank you! …and don’t worry - all “Dark Times” of the Korvax and how they subjugated their oppressors are covered in the video I’m working on now. Starts with the “Dark Times” and ends just before Interceptor.
@@GhostLightXE groovy. I've got to go catch up on chapter one. I'm new to the game and think I have a major data gap in regards to Telemon and some other lore.
I thought I finally found most of the story and opened a door and found a terminal I've not seen before but haven't crafted remembrance on this save file.
There’s so much and it’s so convoluted. Online resources have really helped me.
You pronounce “existential” just like my nephew. Makes me smile every time. 😊
This comment has me repeating the word existential over and over just to see if I can hear what you’re talking about.
What about my Uncle? Did you give him a chance?! Did you?!
@@BullyMaguireMaguire Uncle Ben?
@@GhostLightXE I need to install your voice in my exosuit. Great stuff man!
@@GhostLightXE your pronunciation has 3 T's. It sounds like you're saying "exTistential" rather than "exIStential". It's funny to me because you pronounce existence perfectly. No hate, love the videos. Didn't even realize NMS had lore until I found part 1 😅
We're building bases loosely based on game lore before the destruction of Korvax Prime. For anyone interested in joining:
Euclid:
096B:005C:0499:0007
Love that!
What if the First Spawn were created by the Gek's own Atlas-like AI, who may have been jealous of Korvax Prime.
That’s a tough one. Typically the AIs create life through simulations that it’s running - like, we’re actually playing the game from inside one of the atlas’ simulations, internally. It’s unclear if the Atlantid played a role in converting the Korvax from biological to technological beings. It’s kind of implied but never confirmed. The subsequent AIs cant create new life in our simulation outright. Only the atlas can.
@@GhostLightXE The Atlantid is currently able to effect the universe. It stands to reason that the other two would have that ability as well. Maybe the Gek's AI influenced the evolution of the Gek.
True, it can effect the universe around it but not create and edit it as the Atlas can. That’s why her influence is so weak in her current state, she doesn’t have write access. She read only. Now, she MAY have influence of simulation 19 on the prime terminal! That make be something!
Edit: Since alantid is atlas i think it is the same supercomputer as the atlas. How they could have seperated due to the million of years of simulation and then the atlas Sub-systen became self-aware or through the stress of not knowing their fate. I think proof of thing interconflict is how aspect of the atlas are always fighting each other in the simulation. Gek V Korvax, and Vk'yeen V the sentinels.
The lore says the Atlantid was born of an earlier version of the Atlas, which is a bit of a nod to Waking Titan. And being a brain formed in the void, there isn’t anything linking the Atlantid’s creation to the Atlas - but at this point it’s anyone’s guess!
@@GhostLightXE Well you defiantly know more than me. Me reasoning is that they both can alter the atlas's simulation. so i wouldnt know any other reason why adlantid could do so if it wasent a part of the computer
@@keetoeg This is true. I don't think they are one and the same, they are both similar entities that I think may end up joining at some point... BUT... the Atlantid is something unique in the simulation and she has been slowly gaining power over the simulation over time. I don't think of it as being the same computer (technically this is ALL happening in the same computer), that's why I say it's all about software.
Even the hardware of the Atlas is technically just part of a simulation of its own - if you believe Waking Titan.
Im new to the game, a few days of play, but what if all this is a simulation within a simulation, if that "more compact" atlas, the one brought with us when we abandoned the atlas, is simulating what happened to its predecessor
It could be!
@@GhostLightXE I think it would be really interesting to find out that all of this was the dream of a machine mourning the loss of its predicessor
Dreaming of what it must have been like for atlas, what it would have tried to do
Edit: not that it isn't interesting now, it's sort of beautiful in a way, but part of me hopes that something, someone, comes to save atlas
Your voice is pretty hot for a traveller
Thanks! Most people just think it’s AI generated. Lol
Damm, nice voice!
Hey! Thanks!
Do you realize ( probably you do ) that defining no man's sky result in fixing it as one rather than an unformulated open range of possibilities
💯
I always pronounce the 'Eheu' as Eh-('hey' with a w in it like 'hwey')
Ha. Yeah, that may make more sense. I never though about it’s pronunciation until confronted with saying it aloud in a video on the internet. Lol
@@GhostLightXE I was only stating a preference. I don't know if its ever been said aloud by HG. But your content is amazing! Please keep up with this series and I'd love to see some discussion of your own interpretation and ideas. If you're interested in maybe making a podcast of lore, update news etc, I'd love to collaborate ^^
Thanks! We talk a bit of lore during the live streams and I’m almost done with the next lore video. Join the discord and hop on the voice chat next stream! We can talk all the lore you want!
@@GhostLightXE The invite link on the about section of your discord says it is expired.
Oh, thanks for telling me. Those links arent supposed to expire! Try this - discord.gg/HeJdRtRSWw
There is an annoying Bootstrap Paradox that holds up the lore of NMS that everyone just ignores.
There are two constants across all universes of the Atlas.
The Atlas and the Sentinels.
The galaxies are not in synch in time.
This means that some universes are millions to billions of years ahead of others.
There are multiple contradictions in the story we are given and it's due to this time dilation.
The first offense was neither Sentinel nor First Spawn. It was the First Traveler and every traveler.
The first sentinel screamed when we cut it open.
Whenever this happened the sentinels became hostile across all galaxies in all times.
The First Spawn destroyed Korvax Prime in part as retribution for the genocide on Balareon but the destruction of Korvax Prime is what we are told brought the Sentinels back... But the vykeen had already been fighting the sentinels.
The Korvax were forced to take human form by the gek but the Korvax were already making living ship biological mechanical hybrids before Korvax Prime was destroyed.
I appreciate your video. I think the Atlas and Atlantid have a relationship similar to Izanagi and Izanami in that they are seventh generation gods confused for prime creators.
They are brother and sister, father and mother, pattern and matrix.
There is a deeper story that is kind of out there but it seems like humanity's last hope was to enter the Atlas as sentient echos and live in the time dilation as the 16 minutes count down.
Nada's simulation in the matrix is our escape into another lower level giving us the 19th minute.
Subnote: in my head cannon the First Spawn we meet in the base archive computer is the Echo of Nal in the world of glass.
The reptilian Vykeen are the evolved remnants of the amphibious First Spawn who left the spawning pools to escape the nanites.
I talk a bit about the asynchronous nature of the multiverse a bit in this video.
I like where you’re going with this but your making a few leaps that contradict some of the in-game source. First: Laylaps - cutting into laylaps and the relationship it builds with that traveler (who I’d like to link to null but there is t enough evidence to confirm) was setup by the Void Mother. She’s the one who named him saying it would be a name familiar to the traveler. So, Korvax Prime would have already been destroyed at that point, at least some universes. I don’t know that there is canonical evidence for the “who shot first” debate between the Vy’keen and sentinels but considering the technophobic nature of the former and the peaceful nature of the latter (pre-korvax prime destruction), my money would be on the Vy’keen.
Interesting thought about escaping to Nada’s simulation though. The void mother’s plan involves converging all travelers “in the form of null” to reconstruct the creator (its in the upcoming video) so I wonder why she would need the creator of Nada already has a simulation? Hmm…
Sorry - forgot to mention. The destruction of Korvax Prime brought the sentinels back - the war with the Vy’keen had pushed them further into the outer edge, away from Korvax Prime. I talk about this a bit in that video as well as reference the in-game content.
@@GhostLightXE I believe it was one of the boundary failures that gave the story of the sentinels committing genocide on Balareon as one of the first instances of system failure.
The contradictions are kind of my point. The lore is canonically contradictory hence the anomaly.
I only focus on the first traveler killing the first sentinel as the first offense as it seems to be the story that comes up the most often and Null is very vague about what exactly he did and there are many instances where the game seems to be hinting that the sentinels are as "human" as the travelers or at least that the travelers, sentinels, Korvax, vykeen and gek are all more related than seem at first appearance.
@@GhostLightXE I just started the chapter one video and it already referenced things I hadn't heard anyone bring up before. How they were testing if their universe was the real world or a simulation by measuring for lag when running their own simulation of the universe is brilliant and should be in more sci Fi.
I figure that rather than crossing comments I should make a better summary of what I mean and shoot you a long form message later on.
One of the things I find appealing about this game is how my perception of things has changed over multiple playthroughs.
First time through, Nada was a helpful friendly stranger with a Lifeboat archiving data about their universe and giving anomalies a home.
Playing the Artemis path after the recent expedition give many of her lines subjective meaning.
I can’t tell if your voice is AI
Haha. Thank you? It’s not, but I’ve thought about using one of those AI voice apps to automate my voiceovers using my own voice as a reference. That’d make everything so much easier.
