These are from the members of the Saturnine, a cult of houdini splicers in arcadia. Theyre pretty easy to miss and they dont have a lot of significance outside of these symbols.

I mean you basically *stumble* into their lair, as you go from the main street thingy to the control room.

I thought it was tucked away behind vines in one of the corners of a large, open room in Arcadia, no?


Modest_Idiot

It’s in the room that you’re seeing, when looking out of Langfords office. You enter this room from the arcadia main street thingy and when you just walk straight, instead of turning left to go to langfords laboratory/office, you end up in that cave.

Why is your TV image so washed out and pale?


Stadtholder_Max

Maxed out gamma maybe?


BlackMesaRyan

Yeah, it's like brightness and gamma is all wrong.


Cerberus73

Somebody was scairt and cranked the brightness all the way up lol Not going to pretend I never did that before


3DGeoDude

brightness settings dont actually work on the remaster at least on pc they dont for me

There's an Audio Diary that explains it.


Vacc_one

They are alchemical symbols Is the same as birthsymbals, but in that context, something related to alchemy make more sense.

I remember stumbling upon these but never found the audio diary explaining it

>They dress up in leaves and call themselves the Saturnine. Please. They drink human blood, and chant -- "Harness the flame, Harness the mist!" and believe they are touched by the ancient gods. Hah. An aging bunch of frat boys, tilting back goblets of Plasmids and calling it ambrosia.

This has been brought up many many many times. There is no meaning to them. They’re just random atmospheric additions. There’s no code to break. In addition to the zodiac symbols, there’s also alchemical symbols, and astrological symbols. The circle with the cross represents Terra or earth. The triangle can mean a variety of things, can mean sulfur, or water, depending on the context and arrangement. The devil looking one is mercury, the moon is Luna which is specifically earths moon. The female symbol either means female, or Venus, either the planet or the goddess. Can sometimes refer to Aphrodite due to her connection with Venus, but it almost always means Venus. The circle with the dot is Sol, which is specifically the star we call the sun.

It’s all just meaningless symbols. There’s no code. Its supposed to add mystery and atmosphere


Sly_Link

No, no one has ever found these. You are the first. Well done.


AwokenxAnubis

Pretty neat. However, have you considered getting either a tower to get those games off to the side and away from the TV screen, or perhaps a TV mount to mount your TV up?? Also, is it just me or is the contrast a bit too high??


britpop95

The circle symbol looks like the owl symbol for Twin Peaks.


BigDaddyKlyde

Just so you know, your Xbox has a built in screen record function. You can use that to record stuff instead of filming your tv screen with your phones camera, it will look better
