Gather around the fireplace for some creepy stories, for tales of Vy'keen history and Gek empires, sagas as old as the ATLAS itself.

    These kinds of videos are why we need an ingame lore journal. It's honestly the main addition I'm still missing. 😁
  • @axelthegreat9
    I personally love the voice of freedom. Rage against the machine, literally in this case.
  • "I was being ground up inside a Worms gizzard this morning, and it got me thinking..."-Prof. Cynical's final episode
  • This was cool! On a frigate expedition (balanced if I remember correctly) my fleet encountered a "Vy'keen Death Cult", the only other description in the sitrep was "We granted their wishes" or something similar. I'd never seen this before and found it equally awesome and creepy!
  • @AnarchoJosh
    I got a soft spot for the worm cult because of the expedition. But I gotta pick The Voice of Freedom. Fight god? Yes please. That sounds rad.
  • @VJspoonbender
    Kanaju's editing and voice work is first class in this genre. Great work.
  • @nolopada
    Imagining the digestion process of those sandworms is nightmare fuel. Reminds me of a certain scene from the movie NOPE. If you know you know
  • @itol2201
    I'm not sure how much there is to glean from it, but I think a video on the glitch worlds could be cool. They're quite infamous.
  • Another great vid Kanaju. Was thinking about the whole "Bane of the Atlas" thing...what if the worm that we see in NMS is a visual representation of a literal worm-type computer virus? I have 0 lore to back this up, but it would do a little work in unifying Waking Titan with the rest of NMS.
  • @stuff4035
    Very well made, would like more lore videos, makes learning about the game's story more interesting
  • Although, lore-wise and such, The Last Spawn seems to be very threatening and frightening, but if we talk gameplay-wise, well... Let's just say that my mega field of gas extractors, being on top of each other, hallmarks of solar panels, labyrinth-like base with S-rank on weapons, ships and freighter. Sentinel-upgraded minotaur and a sentient glowing football is gonna be what greets them. Call the ambulance, but not for me, I also got several defense chip with me in a heavily sentinel activity planet. All of this combined, my god, they ever come through a portal or ships and freighters, they have a hell of a party ahead. I can imagine my character just saying "Get off my system, ya geks!".
  • @HunterDrone
    You missed a minor detail/possible interpertation with the voice of freedom, the way some of the dialogue is phrased its possible that they haven't mistaken abyss for atlas, but rather are aware of both but believe the two to be one in the same.
  • @MrBaverbo
    No mans sky is the only game i know of with fun, inspiring and family-friendly gameplay and fucking disturbing lore
  • @BLUE48552
    I once heard of a 'cult of the moon' from my settlement, they also mention the cult of the worm so I am pretty confident it exists.
  • @void_bound
    still waiting for a customization with tentacles for the player character, I am a big big fan of the lovecraftian mythos, and I play no man's sky with a headcanon of there being cosmic horror. one might say I read too much into it, but I believe that the living ships and anomoly planets with living ship like plants represent no man's sky's version of eldritch beings, which brings me great joy when playing the game
  • After finishing the main story of NMS FINALLY! This video made me want to slow down and actually read everything, I knew there was lore in the NMS universe but I had no idea the lore would be so....impactful. After this video I don't think I can play it the same, it feels.....different now.
  • @Fenyxclips
    As someone who feels bound to aid The Atlas and find enjoyment in fighting Sentinels with their salvaged equipment, it can be fun going to dissonance planets and just fighting every corrupted sentinel I see.Kind of just making sure things stay peaceful while purging the corrupted to shut them down. Even if they don't stop appearing.
  • @codelotus6500
    So, if the worms are some manifestations and messengers from the Atlas, and the different abyssal creatures are those from the Abyss, can we considerate the planets that have oceans as battlefields beteween the Atlas and the Abyss (moreover if these planets have heavy sane sentinel and corrupted sentinel activity)
  • @IKFKSwitch
    I created a base which may actually house the seventh. Nothing to worry about. Something... happened. Can't find any of em.
