Hah, the implication that Gabbro is so dedicated to lounging around in a hammock he rebuilds his whole little hangout spot every 22 minutes is amazing.
Fun fact that I don't think the game points out anywhere - eating roasted (not burnt) marshmallows actually heals you. This was very useful for me when I explored the Stranger, because I'm clumsy and it's easier to find a fire than go back to your ship.

Hi, I am actually one of the members of the Council of Space Vampires. We are a little concerned about your curiosity about the coffin in chains. Please don't disturb the one hidden inside :)
I've watched a few playthroughs of The Outer Wilds by now, but the way you edit yours, especially with the OW-flavoured intro and outro, makes it IMO one of the most watchable and enjoyable playthroughs I've seen.
To respond to your comments on the Ash Twin Project, the time loop was designed to be autonomous. The project would only pull Nomai into the loop if the project was successful or there was a failure. And a success is what happened; the hatchling was only pulled into the loop after 9 billion probes were launched in random directions, and one of them finally found the Eye. The Nomai did not expect to repeatedly die. From their perspective, they would flip the switch to start the project and blow up the sun in 22 minutes, then the statues would activate because the time loops had already happened and found the Eye. They would then turn the project off, gather the coordinates that had appeared in the Tracking Module, and travel to the Eye. It would be as though the loops never happened, the coordinates just appeared from nowhere.
To extend further on this: When a loop ends and memories are sent back in time, the timeline stops "existing", since the past has been rewritten by sending memories back in time. Now, multiverse theory could argue against this, but the fact that you break spacetime if you enter the ash twin black hole in one loop but not in the next proves that multiverse theory is wrong in the Outer Wilds canon. Because of this, you are never actually blown up by the supernova in Outer Wilds (As long as you don't fail the final voyage), the only "you" that exists entered the Eye.
the concept is sort of similar to the Time Travelers Party (where you archive an invitation to a party at a specific time in hopes that in the future we discover time travel and pull up the records and someone visits the party from the future)
im guessing your misuse of the word pull them in should have been made them aware. because everyones in the 400 year long hellish loop of being burned alive 3x per hour
This is the topic where I have a different perspective. To me every loop happened even though they technically were erased. So the Hatchling experiences death or being lost in space every loop. Every is very much real. The Nomai would have killed themselves repeatedly had they were successful invoking a supernova. I know time travel aspect of it makes it a lot more complicated and "we won't really know" but it kind of relates to the question of consciousness in SOMA 😄
@@LeDoctorBones Hmm, food for thoughts here because I had came to the exact opposite conclusion - that once the memories are sent back, our poor traveler is left in their dying universe (if still alive that is). Simply put, I believed that 'memories transfer is not equal to consciousness transfer' : At the beginning of each loop, the reminiscence of your past memories makes you and your character believe that you are still the same person because you can remember previous loops, but it is actually an illusion and at the end of every loop, the traveler (re)discovers that their consciousness is not actually transfers after the 22mn loop ends, only their memories to their 'past self' - actively creating an alternate reality with every loop...and our poor traveler realization that all this time, they were always actually dying at the end of most. I'm a not sure to understand how your argument proves that multiverse theory is wrong in OW tho...but I have the feeling you are right, I just have trouble to understand why.
4:45 I like to imagine Slate's reaction when this happens, and all Hearthians would then be panicking and be so sad that we die even before "launching for the 1st time" 😂😂
@@dereknolin5986 I've seen a streamer I like watching the reels thru his flashlight for like, maybe half of the playthrough before figuring out.... It physically hurts to watch
Outer Wilds was the first game to ever make me sob, and echoes of the eye only adds to it, so I'm SO excited to see your reaction to it! Oh, and Chert says Hi
Again, enjoying your presentation and editing! I had three "oh no" moments at the beginning of Echoes, all driven by the "Reduced Frights" message at the start: - When I picked up the Artifact and saw "Conceal" as an option. "Oh, no. I don't like THAT." - When I walked into the first fire room. "Oh. oh no." - When I first woke up and saw the Owlks were gone. "oh NO."
last one is so real!! when i first figured out the falling asleep thing, after a lot of failed attempts, there were like 10 seconds of "omg i did it!!!!!! i can't believe that was the solution!! what a great game!!!" and then it was like. where are the corpses
Getting back inside the ship a second before Gabbro's Island made impact was so clutch, I didn't think you were going to make it. Truly a pro gamer moment.
Indeed you are right we have seen the dlc. We the OW community are hungry to re-experience the game. You picked a great game to debut and got the OW community hug.
I love how many different ways people can stumble into answers in this game, and that if you don't follow that same train of thought the game will spell it out for you in a different way.
50:00 Like you said in the previous episode: whimsical! Like the Krikkiters from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And that ending: are you going to sequence-break everything _again?!?_ 88O I may need more marshmellows for this one.
Hal: A new language, great, just give me six month! 😊 Hatchling: Really, that's awesome. That's only like (does mental math) around 12,000 loops. On an unrelated note, hey Hal... come look at this statue over here with me. 😅
🎶They use antlers in all of their decorating! 🎶 You giggle at space vampires, but Peter Watts did a pretty good book series with a space vampire in it.
28:00 The developers have said that the lack of bodies is a really big clue they wanted people to find. But it's so hard to get people to notice the lack of something! Look at you noticing what's not there!
Mannnn there’s something so special about watching someone play outer wilds for the first time. I’d argue the best part of outerwilds is getting your friends to play it and watching new people react to it
Ah, dang it, I was really hoping you wouldn't be so resourceful and go to sleep with the artifact. I just feel like it's maybe more satisfying to not discover that until late after you've followed all the breadcrumbs. Oh well. Definitely looking forward to seeing the rest of the playthrough.
To be honest, I crushed myself on purpose when I was playing because I wanted to see what would happen. I mean I got an achievement out of it so I guess it was worth it
Having seen the last episode in this series first, I found it kinda funny how you were able to easily set the artifact back down but in the final episode you'd completely forgotten how to do that.
I found it interesting to see a different learning curve with the projectors. I immediately went "put the thing in the place" but the very first slide real I tried had so many burned out holes that I never bothered to turn them. So I never got info or my ship log updated even though I'd found so many slide reals.
15:25 Oh, the parkour attempts. I tried so hard to do that myself. Never did succeed, ended up concluding that I wasn't supposed to get there that way.
Oh my god, I did the same thing with using the scout launcher for the slide reels, it really messed up my playthrough. It made me think that the reels only existed for lore, and didn't have any importance to puzzles.
Jeez. I had no idea you can use the ship log to mark locations *inside* the Stranger! (Not that there are so many locations, but that sure would have helped.) I wonder if they added that text with Slate near the launch pad because people like me had no idea you could do that..
I'm always amazed by the pace at which you're figuring things out. I did not know how to solve this one before visiting the artifact testing room, although it said "Doze off" right there on the screen...
I find it interesting that Becca has already inadvertently anticipated no fewer than three of the Outer Wilds Mods in her speculations about the DLC so far. See below for specifics... SPOILERS for what's NOT in the DLC but "There's a Mod for that" * * * * "Can we save all our Hearthian friends?" ==> "Evacuation" Story Mod "Can we save Solanum?" ==> "The Vision" Story Mod "What if there's an EXTREMELY ancient race...?" ==> "Astral Codec" Story Mod
Lol, I havent played all the DLC yet, but have put a good days play in and was like "she could go off In a completely different direction than me so best beat it entirely first... well what could she find in the first hour?" Turns out I didnt try very hard to get on top of the dam... looks like ill have to revisit this after I do actually beat it lol.
Did you find out what you were looking at @23:45 in your play-through? There is a connection to the dam, that some people miss. Edit: Nevermind, you said it some minutes after.
*me listening to Becca speculate on whats going on in the Stranger* "oh honey, no. Its much more depressing than that, and when you find out you WILL cry... no one can play this DLC without crying." honestly though, if you didnt finish this DLC, immediately go to your bed, curl up in the fetal position, and cry yourself to sleep then are you really humsn?
Looking at the slides like this makes me sadder each time u do it lol. Also you never use the LB button to roll in outer wilds. not once. (so far) loll
Now Becca, do you choose the Blue pill and live out the rest of your life like nothing ever happened, or do you choose the red pill and learn the truth. you have 22 minutes to decide!

WHAT A PERFECT PLACE TO END THE EPISODE
Loool the ending. The whole time I was like she's sooooooo close to figure it out.
That was some intense 2 minutes. And then she finally dozes off, only to say "nonono", I loved it!
"This was extraordinarily convenient timing. Thanks!" *Jumps into campfire*
I was just picturing the character, like, “don’t sass me, or I’ll kick your fire over!”
I loved the idea of lighting the artifact with the burning marshmallow.
At the very least it should have been an achievement
I tried too, it just made so much sense
Never I've seen someone tried that lol that was very funny (and actually makes some sense yeah)
Fun fact that I don't think the game points out anywhere - eating roasted (not burnt) marshmallows actually heals you.
This was very useful for me when I explored the Stranger, because I'm clumsy and it's easier to find a fire than go back to your ship.
How many do you eat to get to full health? One?

I KNOW. It’s so funny to me imagine that Slate’s just chilling there like D:: as my Hearthian just sprinted underneath the elevator. 😆
So relieved - for a bit, I was worried that watching all the slide reels by the light of your scout was going to be this playthrough's scroll walls!
watching you light the slide reel with your scout at the beginning really hurt, im so glad you decided to put a light in there lol
The game -- with good reason -- indeed does not consider it ship log worthy.
I was afraid for a second that she would never realize you needed a lantern and keep using the scout the rest of the playthrough!
@@dereknolin5986 I've seen a streamer I like watching the reels thru his flashlight for like, maybe half of the playthrough before figuring out....

Friends.
Wait, we *aren’t* supposed to do that?? … brb
only if they consent
The last 3 minutes were a roller-coaster of emotions!
NOOOO I was so invested for it to end right there 😭😭 this is great, can't wait for the next one

I never saw anyone use the scout to light the projectors. It is amazing it kinda worked.
Crashed by elevator. Been there ngl
On Reddit we call it "the secret boss fight"
I think the elevator might've been the biggest jump scare for me of the game up to that point because after so many loops I was confident I was safe 💀
