I haven't finished the video so maybe you already did everything on Giant's Deep and don't need to go back, but it might be a handy mnemonic to remember that the tornado where the spin goes to your right is the right one
Oh yeah I know, I think I just went temporarily blind for a bit there D:. I opened it up to edit it and felt like a complete dummy for having one framed in the literal center of the screen for at least 30 seconds without noticing lol I didn't make it to the core in this one (because my controller died before I could get back to Feldspar) but I was successful in the next episode!
I find the easiest way to spot the different tornado for me is to look at their tops. The one that goes in the opposite direction is turning as if it was a cog being rotated by the tornadoes around it, while two tornadoes turning in the same direction look like they're "grinding gears" against each other.
I watched your video away from my keyboard, so no timestamped item-by-item comment from me today. Regarding which of the Travellers might be interested in what you have learned: most of them tell you what they're interested in, e.g. Gabbro says "if you learn anything new about the time loop, let me know". Riebeck is the one who asks you to inform them "if you learn anything about the Nomai". And at the end of the video, you found Riebeck's surface campfire that appears right above them, and then just kept going instead of heading down to talk to them? I'm not sure if you really understood what happened when you made it through the Interloper. The solution wasn't to just go really fast and hope you survived passing through ghost matter. After getting to the upper area, you were assuming that there were two distinct tunnels you had to commit between, but if you'd actually *taken photos* with your little scout after launching it, rather than just watching whether it passed through a hazard, you would have seen that there were two short tunnels, then an open area, then two short tunnels again. You could also have just slid slowly along the ice with your scout launcher in photo mode taking photos so you could see where the ghost matter was as you travelled. You had to take the right-hand tunnel of the first pair and the left-hand tunnel of the second pair. I played Outer Wilds and Echoes of the Eye using keyboard and mouse. Dark Bramble is perfectly navigable using keyboard. The variable thrust of the controller does mean you can gently back off when you see an anglerfish, but when you're navigating by signalscope and checking out lights with the little scout, I didn't tend to bump into them unexpectedly. I checked my path, blasted forward at full thrust for a second or so, and then coasted at a reasonable speed.
Honestly, I have no idea. I think I thought there was an easier way down and then just got splatted before I could rethink what I was doing. Which I was about to do before I went flying off the edge. I did at least get the Interloper. You're right that taking pictures would definitely have helped. I got turned around a lot down there to begin with, and I don't think that helped much. Yeah, coasting would be the primary way I'd expect you to get through on keyboard! I definitely have much better fine control with a controller though, I think. I'm learning that in the copious amounts of No Man's Sky I'm currently playing -- my ship control in OW is way better, it's just harder to slam into the ground in NMS when landing lol.
