Hey all,

Sorry if Im posting this in wrong forum but ive been reading for a while and cant find meta puzzle forum,

anyway as I said long time reader first time poster, wanted to post this because I havent seen it yet,

But just a new thought line to take on the CoA from the whitebox's

I hope I am not taking a step backward here but while waiting for 3 to open was doing alot of research on the Clues weve gotten from calling loki. and it seems we have stopped at her name

Lorelei Or lureln (murmuring) ley (rock) Kitsune

Well heres the direction im going, let me know what you think

Lorelei was the name of the Mermaid in the poem who lured sailors to thier death, Kitsune as we know was the legendary 3 tailed fox.

Many thoughts arise for me here, stop me if im digging to deep lol, Could it mean that since Lueln Ley was taken from german and Kitsune Japanese could this be a clue to perhaps Loki's heritage?? leading to the answer of the CoA???

Other thoughts, The anchor could possibly symbolize something to do with the sailors she led to her death and the 3 feathers lead to kitsune?? (i know there are six but maybe were meant to look past that)

Also Loki = Mischievious?? Lorelei = Beautiful Mermaid who led sailors to their death....does this mean we are not to trust her in the end? As in we are the sailors and she is the one distracting us?? *shrug* just thoughts.

Maybe Ive just gone insane from digging and digging or maybe these are questions better left for the 4th box or possibly the "Question" she is going to ask. Let me know what you think.

First post, I hope I'm doing this right.

Anyway I was noticing just now that Mural doesn't have a puzzle piece on it, I have no idea what that means.

But also, Glenn Seaborg and Alexander Graham Bell both have the swirl pattern/ vanishing point(?) pattern. Maybe the answer has to do with those two inventors/discoverers and/or particular dates in common?

Welcome! We noticed that there wasn't a puzzle link, too. And as for the swirls, more than likely the San Fransisco event will have the two missing pictures plus a clue to tell us what to do with all the info... Only a few hours left! :)

That's the one that is going to keep us awake tonight I guess .

I am still working on this one as well and wondering if Glenn T. Seaborg is the best response. For the purposes of this puzzle, George Stibitz also works, and he is normally recognized as the father of the modern digital computer (1939). But does it work for the puzzle?

This might relate, and it might not. Though Bell is usually associated with having invented the telephone, a somewhat recent judgement in the US House of Representatives gave that honor to a frenchman (who's name I can't remember atm) who may have invented it as many as 4 years before Bell. But, Bell did invent the photophone, which was the father of modern day fiber optics...this could explain the picture, because you can't exactly take a picture of light. And I'm thinking the stuff on the side of the building must be some sort of hint for Murals, otherwise why would they bother?

      If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      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.
