local traveller does not handle artemis' death well and can only dab in response on their grave.

local traveller tries to explain to artemis how apollo nearly sent them to their death by fighting sentinels without any regards for their safety, only giving them a protective shitty force field which they called a little """""investment""""""" in their joint partnership.

local traveller's advances get rejected by artemis and proceeds to cry wail in front of them.

local traveller hugs their bestie from both sides.

local traveller tries to convince artemis they are taller than them.

local traveller hugs unknown mysterious being whose face is obscured by a blinding light at first sight. they stare intently at their topless chest.

local traveller touches the most beautiful thing they have ever seen in their life. they burn their hand a little.

local traveller busts out dancing moves with null to soupermoon from the acclaimed album No Man's Sky: Music for an infinite universe by 65daysofstatic, post rock band based in sheffield, england

local traveller dropkicks null after being told their dancing moves reminded them of a worm-like creature they have seen in their travels 10000000224478 years ago in another universe (which is long gone now).

Somewhere in the Hilbert Dimension, Kylie finished putting out the fires and fixing up the ship again. She sat down on the snow nearby, looked up at the stars and thought, "Where next?"

A celebration piece for the perma-death No Man's Sky milestone that I completed earlier this year. Went far outside the comfort zone on this one, so some details I wanted to include like the ship itself and the jet-pack had to be omitted in the name of ever finishing.

The helmet, however, is an intentional omission, and entirely valid given that no one in the NMS universe wears one even when the world is made out of radiation.

The question of where next is quite open at this time. I have a lot of other games I want to stream, so I don't know when I'll pick it up again. Still, here's your chance to try and influence the answer. (It is quite likely the next NMS stream I do will be with friends in regular mode and/or Expedition, though)

🌲, 🏆, 🐶, and 💤 for Artemis

🌲: How long did you and your f/o know each other before you got together?

the rate of passage of time in the nms universe appears to be "yeah" but i imagine like, about a year passes between the first meeting and the actual promise to find each other that serves as an unspoken love confession (since i Do Not See the actual ending of the artemis path. no when the portal activated they just got abruptly shunted out of the void between worlds and now they're in another galaxy so it'll take some extra effort to finally see them in person that's all 😊)

🏆: What would your F/O consider to be a "perfect day"?

i imagine that at the "current" point in the self ship timeline artemis and my s/i orpheus have never actually been in the same physical space so at this point artemis's perfect day is the day they find a portal, activate it, go through it, and find orpheus standing on the other side. and then the two of them go to that cool museum of oddities in the galactic hub (which is a real player-built base that exists in game and that i hope is still standing because the last time i was there was in 2020)

🐶: Is your F/O more of a cat person or a dog person?

i feel like if this game had dog-like fauna (near as i can tell from the genera list on the wiki there are cat-like fauna but no dog-like fauna) artemis would have one as a pet. they seem like the kind of person who, if they were a human on earth, would have a loyal dog that they bring along on hikes.

💤: What does your F/O wear for pajamas?

i feel like it depends on what planet they're on at the time? like something warm on cold planets, something cool on hot planets, and they try to avoid staying on toxic or irradiated planets long enough to have to bunk down there

Local Traveller hugs Apollo. Apollo later discovers their Valued Silk Garment of High Qualities had been soiled by Unknown Substances after the embrace, which they suspect to be living slime, viscous fluids, rusted metal, residual goop or faecium. They do not wish to know its Chemical Composition. They are highly concerned for Local Travellers Hygiene Practices.

"what do you mean you just happen to know this traveller In Great Detail who I met because of their distress signal. and also what do you mean you want me to run errands for you to save this traveller while only leaving Vague Explanations and seemingly having a Hidden Motive for something else." local traveller cannot wrap their head around how a Mysterious Being of Light overrides their call and casually sends them on Many Quests.

"you can't just be wearing that out here," Local Traveller said pointing at the slender being's, Shiny, Iridescent, Chromatic Exposéd Chest. "No wonder you said the sentinels would get onto your ass instantly." For a moment they thought of gently stroking the smooth metal, before quickly vaporizing that idea out of existence. "Hell. I'd get onto it too, you know." The stranger terminates the call right there and then without saying a word. They never come back.

Local Traveller cannot help but take part in the galaxy wide trend of posing in a move referred to as "dabbing" in locations often unexpected and inappropriate at times. their picture description is as follows: """""dabbing for my bestie who is in a state of pseudo 🤨🤨 💀 death 💀 😵😵 caused by forces 😰😰 beyond their control 😱😱😱😱😱😫😩🤯🤯🤯 😔😔 Like to dab for them"""""" The post has been downvoted into oblivion, with many of the commenters calling for Nada and Polo to sentence Local Traveller to death. Someone has already made a petition, its petitioner amount exceeding over 1/3 of the known traveller population.

RETIREMENT (and why I was so crazy about NMS)

it has been roughly 3 years. 14 at first, 17 by now and closing nearer to 18.

The time has come for Blog Retirement.

Interests have shifted, Life has called. I'll hop to another galaxy, but I will remember.

Supermoon which drew me in, entering a galaxy with stories pervaded by isolation, alienation and solitude, comfortingly familiar.

A traveller searching for others alike to ease their solitude, only to be trapped in a state of agony, more dreadful than the state in which they began.

Another attempts to drown out theirs with material value, until they learn of other sources for happiness.

An immortal life for the price of deeds unforgivable, ultimately leading to irredeemable condemnation- in eternal solitude.

Two friends who don't belong in reality, hiding in the cracks where those who are similarly fundamentally different, can call sanctuary.

A god-like being left to deteriorate fully awake in its dying state, alone and abandoned by its creator.

Such stories of isolation, alienation and solitude have provided comfort in familiarity. What I felt, I had found in these characters and their stories, when there was nothing else for comparison. What I felt was not given only a name, but stories instead, complete with the same themes as my own.

These are stories of immense isolation, alienation and solitude, and yet through them, I had found Connection with others, something then very frightingly new to me. (Still is). Through isolation, alienation and solitude, I had found Connection? This was a mind boggling contradiction to me (still is) NMS was the only medium through which I could connect, and wanted to. It was the first to ever do so. Most incredibly, I wasn't strongly appalled by it, as I used to with any kind of interactions. Instead, I was genuinely delighted as I interacted. For once I felt I could do what others seemingly did with ease, the ability, the will, and the actual want for interaction. Not as a shallow disguise for courtesy, but out of genuine interest and curiosity for what others thought. I found I loved listening to people sharing their thoughts, and I did the same, shamelessly unfiltered. Unheard of before.

Though the people I've met on discord are those who are the furthest away from me, I've felt the strongest bonds with them, people who can't be called anything else but Friends.

In the span of one year, I have learned most of what I now know about friendships from everyone I've talked to. I have never felt so much about others before. Far Too often I felt Far Too scared by this unfamiliarity, but just as scary as it was, it had brought equal joy too. It is a scope of feelings I cherish immensely, everything, from the highest to the lowest. From snorting laughter, stupid chronic smiles to long worries and cried tears. I think I have laughed and smiled the most the past years, not alone, but with others. Not limited to smiles and laughter, but Feeling in general.

Feelings aren't meant to flatline, like a heartbeat they go up and down. With every peak, there is a depression. That is what keeps you alive.

I am proud, but at the same time I know I am still a baby when it comes to such things. What does one year mean? If this is what one year could do, then what could another do? Or a decade? Despite this, it still feels very new to me, and many things still do scare me. But without NMS, I would've gone on a trajectory of continued aversion of interaction. I am so, so glad I can avoid that path. There are many galaxies for me to hop to.

For all the years I've lived it's strange to think it's a sci fi game out of everything, that would open me up to anyone.

If I were Artemis in their search for others who are alike, I have found them. And I hit not gold, but something entirely priceless. And it's with the best imaginable community I could've ever met.

From the deepest bottom of my soul,

Thank you

To everyone who has read this, to everyone who has viewed my blog, everyone to everyone I've met, to everyone in the NMS server. To everyone who has been a part of the NMS community.

If you're the sum of everything you've ever experienced, then I am so glad to have you all.

14 year old me originally only hoped to find a NMS community, but I think I have hit it further a notch.

[worldwhampion]

(spoilers of u haven't done the newest quest line)

(also sorry I haven't sent an ask in so long, I haven't played nms for a bit lol)

I'm really loving all the lore we got! those big Atlantis probe things from the expedition still show up in space, one pretty much outright stated that the probes are actually ancient escape pods from the destruction of korvax prime. And the korvax were in there for so long atlantideum began to grow out of their bodies, creating a structure similar to the ones you mine sentience echoes from!

Also unrelated theory, but I think if the first spawn won they might've destroyed the universe accidentally. They think the universe is not a simulation and is knowable. This combined with their greed and probable lack of environmental concern, means they probably would grab any gravitino balls they can, and with no sentinels around to drive them off and mend the wound in spacetime, the damage would pile up and the simulation would break.

HIII took me long enough to answer your ask, I apologize. I’m free now so let’s get to it!

It’s going to take a while for me to do the autophage quest myself since i actually haven’t finished the artemis path yet (but at this point i do know already it inside out). However i did watch playthroughs and i also made a decent transcript of the quest. And YOU BET i have some thoughts about this. Especially on atlantideum.

i. ATLANTIDEUM

(from world of glass lore archive server)

When you reveal atlantideum to the atlas something very interesting happens. From this piece of lore i’m pretty sure atlantideum is corrupted data- OF THE ABYSS. And the atlas does not react well to this data at all.

ATLANTIDeum. Are you seeing this. It’s literally like parts of the abyss. Call it abyss dust.

I think atlantideum are crystals which contain her (corrupted) data, or in any case you bet it’s related to wog. They’re probably coming straight from the world of glass, seeping into the simulations. These crystals are scattered all over the place, and lore-wise they’re probably multiplying on a pretty concerning rate at the moment. I think this is how the abyss is returning, by hauling her data back into the world. The world of glass is assimilating with the simulations if you will! She’s only able to do this because the atlas is literally falling apart as she proceeds with her girlboss plan. The atlas is weakening while she is growing stronger (she’s probably weakening the atlas too in the proces). They’re probably fighting for control over the systems, and she is definitely going for absolute power. You’re gonna need that if you want to save everything dying along with the computer that runs reality.

The atlas can’t do anything about the crystals (or data), because it does not have access to this data and cannot delete it from its systems. The abyss seems to be an entity acting separately from the system or the atlas, so you can say she is interfering with the simulations like a foreign entity. She is a subroutine of the atlas though, which has now gone rogue (see iii. FIRST SPAWN ACCIDENTAL UNIVERSE DESTRUCTION).

Thorn summed this up ON POINT. Being atlas… is suffering.

While the atlantideum hit made the atlas have an asthmatic attack, someone else smoked it up like nipnip. Nada took the abyss blunt very well.

The atlantideum gave nada data of the abyss, to me this is like injecting memories into your mind. Now we know that nada canonically likes smoking atlantideum! While the atlas is pro war on drugs. The traveller can become nada’s abyss blunt dealer.

ii. KORVAX ESCAPE POD

“And the korvax were in there for so long atlantideum began to grow out of their bodies, creating a structure similar to the ones you mine sentience echoes from!”

Sadly i don’t have that particular dialogue you mentioned about the korvax escape pod so i might miss a few details. I want to read it so if anyone finds it SEND IT TO ME STAT i need my lore like how nada needs their blunt.

The atlantideum item description reads:

Atlantideum can take over hosts, both mechanical and biological. I see this as the hosts coming under influence or under control of the abyss, probably depending on the amount of crystals they have stuck in their skin.

Finally we have a bit of clarification for the following lines:

(from the abandoned building logs)

I believe these beings to be the family glass. Sadly they never went beyond name dropping them but that doesn’t stop me from having theories. They are beings that live on in the world of glass who have probably lived in the simulations at first (before they died).

We have know seen the effects of glass/atlantideum on both mechanical and biological beings. For mechanical beings (like nada and the atlas) simply coming into close contact with the crystals is already enough to have an effect, while for biological beings they have to literally shove the shards into their flesh. Just like piercings. Except these piercings drain your life and also may or may not keep hurting forever. However in the end it’s all worth it for the eldritch knowledge.

It’s not said whether these crystals are really atlantideum (crystals containing data of the abyss specifically?), but this is probably what happens when you put it under your skin while also being biological. you get a cool piercing, AND you also become a vessel for intelligences unlike us (void milves).

The abyss can exert influence/control through not only nanites (in the water), but through atlantideum too? Well it is a literal substance named after her. The korvax in the escape pod definitely came under her influence too and became divergent by extension. She is pretty much the divergence personified. As for how the atlantideum got there, i’m thinking the abyss messed a little with the nanites in their body? I mean she is a master nanite bender, arguably the best one the simulations have ever seen. Not everyone can infest half the water in the known multiverse with nanites every day like she does casually.

The abyss does a lot of polluting, in water it’s nanites, on land it’s atlantideum crystals. She really just decided that environmental pollution is the best way to spread her presence everywhere. And you cannot deny that she is completely right since it’s working that well. This is like spreading microplastics which have the power to change reality itself.

In game you can refine atlantideum into nanites, by first refining it into pugneum and then to nanites. So nanites and atlantideum are pretty closely related.

iii. FIRST SPAWN ACCIDENTAL UNIVERSE DESTRUCTION

“Also unrelated theory, but I think if the first spawn won they might've destroyed the universe accidentally. They think the universe is not a simulation and is knowable. This combined with their greed and probable lack of environmental concern, means they probably would grab any gravitino balls they can, and with no sentinels around to drive them off and mend the wound in spacetime, the damage would pile up and the simulation would break.”

Oh man i have something for you.

(boundary failure logs)

The first spawn exploited a whole subroutine (ie the convergence) for their personal interests- on a multiversal scale. Since a subroutine is like a working part of the atlas itself, the exploitation might’ve done some damage to the system in terms of software (?) i mean can you still carry out whatever tasks you should be doing properly if you were subjected to gruesome slavery across the multiverse. you’d need godly multitasking skills for this. Not sure to what extent it really affected the system, but it would have done at least something.

Telamon did say that the entire enslavement of the korvax is a reflection of the atlas breaking down. The convergence, being modeled after earlier forms of the atlas, is kind of the atlas personified in the simulations. Now when you’re enslaved, you do break down mentally and physically. The korvax suffered because the atlas itself was suffering. And the first spawn might’ve been a reflection of the harm the atlas was facing. In the end the first spawn was genetically engineered into the gek, not completely wiped out but “mitigated” using their nanites. this could apply to the harm too, it’ll never be removed, only lessened. I find it very interesting how the korvax polluting the gek spawning pools with nanites is very much parallel with the abyss infesting the water with nanites as well. Both do this to get out of hard times, by trying to lessen the harm but never able to remove it completely. This does seems to be what the atlas is doing to try saving itself. The repeated universe resets are also a reflection in the simulations except it is more meta.

Now onto the balls!

If the first spawn did start grabbing gravitino balls left and right without a single care unchecked, then that means the atlas is. royally fucked. I’d say then it’s literally not able to keep running simulations anymore. Like they would end prematurely because it’d crash halfway through, as reflected by the reality weakening from unrestrained gravitino ball harvesting once they get to that part in history. whatever horrors the atlas is facing at the moment isn’t enough for this to happen. Recovering from brutal enslavement does sound better than the whole simulation straight up crashing down. You could always have it worse! Sparkle on!

hello all nms fans i'm seriously thinking about starting a nms discord server where we all discuss lore and theorize about stuff, so here's a poll

here's some more info if you're interested:

the whole server would be like a database of collected lore, or at least a big part of it would be dedicated to that. i'll gather ALL sources of lore there (by that i mean stealing it from other sites lol) and putting them on google docs, including my own half-finished transcript of the artemis path (i have no idea how to datamine the entire thing from the game so poor me has been typing it all out for months. maybe other people can help me with that on docs). this way everything will be easily within reach for our viewing pleasure.

and ofc there'll be more than this but that's for when the basics have been set up

Rose zinnia lily!

-selfshippery

thank you!! they posted most recently in my queue so I’ll go with artemis!!

rose - how many brain cells would you estimate there are between you and your f/o?

my nms s/i orpheus is one of my smarter s/is (but they have a habit of doing dangerous shit just for The Thrills, since they’re basically just my playstyle as a character) and artemis is one of my smarter f/os (albeit too curious for their own good) so I’d say…together we form most of a normal brain but minus the impulse control

zinnia - how often do you think about your f/o? do they live in your head rent free or do you not think about them for months on end before suddenly hyperfixating on them nonstop for a week?

I have periods where I’m normal about them and then out of nowhere I’m like “oh FUCK” and I start a new nms save just to play the artemis path again even though I know the end and it’s sad

lily - what would you say is the color scheme of you and your f/o?

artemis is a weird color scheme to pin down because they’re semi-transparent or affected by lighting in most of their appearances but if we take their decal as their canon color scheme:

then our collective color scheme is basically just “pastel cool-spectrum colors” since my in-game suit is light purple and orpheus’s design is mostly light purple, green, and blue color-wise
