See this

Maybe if you think of those extra white bits as a continuation of the map then maybe the white blocks down in the loxer left (just behind the words "by solving puzzles"?) are the location of the galapagos islands? and maybe this has some relevance. I realise that there are others on the page but thats just one i thought about.

lOOK WHERE it says "HOW TO PLAY" on your BLACK/WHITE IMAGE...there are SYPHER CODES..(dots).....NOT visible to naked eye on the WEBSITE!!! :) .....any thoughts on this?

go back a page and see what it looks like now

I know what it looks like now. What I posted is a PROPOSED draft of what it WILL look like.

HOW DID YOU DO THAT BLACK/WHITE PIC, BRO????? i have an idea :)

I don't think so. You can clearly see Australia on the bottom of the globe and there are boxes ON TOP of it. I think it's an overlay on the globe - I'm trying to separate it from the main image with little luck

Try with an edge filter and inverse. I also tried with different filters on the crystal ball image

and nothing catches my eye. I'm starting to get the feeling that we are digging too deep,

there are still a lot of clues in the videos but so far nothing concrete yet.

Photoshop: Image>>Mode>>Grayscale

Then go to Image>>Adjust>>Brightness/contrast and have a blast

Oh you worked in Photoshop. I dont ahve one at work here....got one at home...im gonna try later at home.

SO!!!....WHAT ELSE are we thinking on these little cubicles??? they ARE IDENTICAL to the ones in the SYPHER KEY!!!!.....who was able to solve any of those??????????????????

these dots are not a clue they are outlines of the continents

Those are not DOTS..they're SQUARES...and for some reason same exact one as were used in the SYPHER KEYS.....so HINT HINT...

K ..HERE IT GOES GUYS...i didnt tell you anything....BUT I'M LOKI!

i've been purpusely misleading you!!! ....HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA LOOOZAHZ!

:) ....(LOOZAHZ is a joke)

BTW, today according to the flight itinerary is when she is supposed to arrive in Austin (flight AA1308),

it will be interesting to see if somebody shows up to see who gets out of that plane and take some

pictures, hopefully DHS will not arrest her/him.

The flight itinerary shows her departing on the 26th, so I'll be monitoring the media/blogs to see if

some media event with AMD shows up in the next few days and provide additional clues.

My .02

Cheers

He he, it's seems that we are becoming to annoying to some companies ... check what the AMD site says:

AMD Media Relations Contacts

Note: If you are not a member of the media or an industry analyst, please refer to the Contact AMD page for appropriate contact information.

We?re sorry, but the general phone number is no longer available. If you are a member of the media, please contact your AMD public relations representative.

To me the cubes look like a stylized representation of the continents of the world. My guess is that its just a graphical effect, but who knows... anything could mean something.

has anyone noticed this?

I played with her name kitsune lorelei

I took out loki which left tsunerelei

I noticed on prior posts some people referred to her as kitsume , but the fax showed an n i believe.

after messing with the letters i came up with elite n user or elite m user

i came up with some others too but this seemed most interesting.

now if its an m, then she might consider herself to be an elite muser. a muser is someone pondering things all the time, etc...

on the side if its an m and we are trying to figure her out, its interesting when you search google on tile, resume, vanish (I think thats what I used) It's been a few days and at the time i figured i must be on the wrong track (and i wasn't a member here).

There is a reference to the shuttle tiles and resuming flight.

of course if its an m her name could be a play on the words lite resume where the game site is her bio and resume.

if its an n perhaps this is a play on elightened user or something.

anyways the letters in her name form a bunch of interesting on topic words

so for now i'm toying with the idea of elitemuser or muserelite or in her style they use underscores for spaces in urls so maybe its is some sort of play on elite_muser or muser_elite or with the n as a swapout

of course its all out of the box here and probably coincidental.

Ok, guys, I really don't know why you're looking so deep into the BACKGROUND of the webpage. It's just a GLOBE with continents, the flags of the countries holding the events, and then another pixel image of the continents placed over it. That's really ALL IT IS.

I mean, think about it. So far, all the puzzles and clues we've solved have had a logical progression. There has never been a logical jump. So it doesn't make sense to poke around everywhere to try and find clues or hints. It seems like we've hit a dead end, and the only thing we can do now is wait for the next puzzle box (which should be out in about 2 days).

So stop speculating about supposed ghost images and hidden meanings in backsplashes. It's really a waste of time and effort.

Microsoft is probably laughing at our superficiality as we speak.

When I posted the pic with the explanation, I wasn't trying to say there was meaning in those images. Simply explaning what they were and suggesting we not read any more into them. Nice clarification though.

    • I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
