Staying ON the edge of the Supernova? | Outer Wilds Mythbusters

A video on some interesting myths and tidbits I found for outer wilds!
Concept, Music choice, and Editing was heavily inspired by Wand of Sparking. If you enjoy this video, I implore you look at their stuff as well, it's great.

I think the drowning glitch might not only happen when you sit at the cockpit, but rather only happened there for you because when you sit at the cockpit your spacesuit gets unequipped

What's most terrifying to me about being outside the supernova range is just how empty space is. The ship looks wrong on a backdrop of pyre dark and it's extremely unsettling

[@tugaslol]

my man is literally a nomai doing science

[@agnastthrower5212]

I've had nightmares about the sun exploding like this, so the first time I saw this in-game, it was pretty freaky. Also, I was on the Attlerock using the Eye Locator when it first happened, so I wasn't entirely sure if I had somehow caused it lol

When wearing a suit inside the ship on Giant's Deep you can see your oxygen go down, so it definitely thinks you're underwater.

I’d guess because of how meditation works with [redacted] you’re simply dying with a different death sound and wake up Sound at least from the game’s perspective

[@Laezar1]

actually one funny thing you can do is throw your scout at one of the standing skeleton in lakebed caves and when you flash your light sometimes it does weird things like going out of bounds. It's very inconsistent though

The fact he was confused why he wasnt drowning with the space suit on… but a good pilot for sure.

[@DaniPaunov]

for the last one, i tried to do that on the quantum moon and got confused when it just said you are dead

[@Laezar1]

what's the music starting at around 6minutes? I swear I've heard it before but I can't quite place it. My brain is going "stardew valley" and "pokemon mystery dungeon" for some reason but I feel like both are wrong.

[@GrifMoNeY]

So the "You Are Dead" ending triggers anytime you die while disconnected from Ash Twin Project, and the "meditate" button just makes you die. Even though you're already safely outside the supernova's blast radius, and meditating would honestly be the first thing I'd do, the game still treats it like you just couldn't handle it long enough to get to the isolation ending time.

Something similar happened to me in the drowning mythbuster. I fell into the black hole and spawned inside of my ship. I managed to buckle up and a few seconds later it seemed I had run out of oxygen. I took a clip and I saw that I as nowhere near running out of oxygen...

Hey alright that was fun! I'll sub ya. Thanks for putting in the effort. It def is tricky to line all that up accurately to pull off these stunts. Beautifully challenging game.

for the weird black hole/drowning glitch I think I know what's going on. two checks run when the player is underwater, first, is the player's head underwater and second, is the player in the ship/has their spacesuit on. when exiting the ship, the game sets PlayerIsInShip to false (that's probably not the actual name of the variable, but lets go with it). and since the player warps into the ship when entering the black hole at the same time as the ship, the variable is still set to false. However, if the player has the spacesuit on, the helmet gets automatically put on when underwater unless the player is in the cockpit. Since both PlayerIsInShip and PlayerHasSuitOn are false during this glitch, the game assumes the player should drown.

Just discovered channel, first video, hoping to hear the myth busters theme

[@tall_guy81]

The starting music sounds like a theme from typical Ghibli film
