This monolith encounter in No Man's Sky is ~clearly~ a reference to #ShrekIsLife, right up to and including Smash Mouth's "All Star" being referenced as a "tribute to sad vocal".

#nomanssky #shrek

Screenshot from No Man's Sky with a text-based interaction with a monolith labelled as "Tribute to Sadvocal (Vy'keen Monolith)" reading: "I am suddenly underwater. I am drowning. Water clogs my lungs. My chest is on fire. I gasp for air where there is none, and feel only tepid liquids filling me inside and out. My vision is clouding. I know this is my time. This is it. This is what it feels like.

Suddenly, a green hand thrusts itself through the surface of the water. The light is fading"

Options for the player are "Die" and "Reach for hand".

The partially-translated inscription on the monolith (which, if they can be interpreted well, usually provide hints for how to respond) reads "warrior usumula euijungu angq. embrace death."

The monolith is shiny and appears dark blue in the hazy, pink light. Shadowy, maroon mountains loom before a starry, magenta sky dominated by a sister planet or moon.
