    currently on an Outer Wilds content binge tour, I pretty much watch any and all videos people made about Outer Wilds. Your video is very well made, great job!
    My husband and I only recently finished Outer Wilds (including the DLC) and it absolutely blew us away. It's now my favorite game of all time!

    i will never ever skip an outer wilds essay, and the algorithm never disappoints!!
    i played it over 2 years ago and i still can't stop thinking about it, it rewired something in my brain, and it completely changed the way i see life. i think you explained beautifully how i feel about it. what you said about curiosity and uncertainty... love it.
    definitely looking forward to seeing more of this type of content , great video!! (running to see the echoes of the eye video rn)

      You have no idea what it means to know that people love to watch these, it’s so odd because I didn’t actually make it with people in mind, It was for me to put my thought down and express myself so for people like you to find it and resonate with it makes me feel very grateful😁

    That's a dream video for me. One showing gratitude for all the lessons Outer Wilds teaches us. If I could make one it would be just like this. I'm so glad it exists.

    Outer Wilds is like the beckoning of a children's story: " Come have a seat, gather around."
    It isn't there to prod you with the fears and terrors of being an adult, choosing instead to sit you down and tell you a marvelous story in a quiet library. It's familiar and soft. It's story time with your elementary school teacher or the public librarian. It takes you back to a time when the stars were ours, our minds filled to the brim with wonder.

    Thank you for reminding me of how beautiful it is to experience this game for the first time, and keep doing what you love. Maybe a few people will show up, maybe millions, you never know, but you still got it out. You really got the spirit of the game there. Well, all I know is I’m sticking around to see what’s next.

    This game has changed my outlook on life and its meaning, and I am always glad to see random reminders such as this video and so many others, that show it affected so many others in such a way.
    I don't think your video will just fall in TH-cam's abyss. Its algorithm is incredible for such good video essays.
    Good job, and good luck on the content! Off to watch your Echoes video now :)

    Not everyone who has played Outer Wilds reaches the same conclusions or thinks about these themes of life and meaning, and that is okay. The experience you have with this game is something personal and intimate.
    However, sometimes you find people who saw exactly what you did when playing it -in a forum, an essay, or this TH-cam video- and you can't help but feel connected somehow to that stranger whom you would never know or meet, like raising your signalscope and hearing a fellow astronaut playing his instrument.
