MAJOR SPOILERS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE VIDEO: I was going to put a big disclaimer about this in the beginning of the video, but given the current state of the human attention span I imagine people would just click off the video. This game HAS to be experienced if you haven't already, and spoilers while not a huge deal for other games can absolutely RUIN this game. If you were thinking about playing it and haven't yet, DON'T WATCH THIS. If you're still in the middle of it, DON'T WATCH THIS. If you have played, what did this game mean to you? What did you feel at the end? What endings did you get? How much did you have to look up (I had to look up some shit that I'm frankly embarrassed I couldn't figure out, and some other stuff that I don't think I ever would've got). Here's info to donate and get in touch with me, thanks so much as always for watching!

I also had a rough childhood, suicidal thoughts at twelve years old isnt fun. I wish I found this game sooner because it would have probably been able to teach me what I ended up learning the hard way. Life and death are irrelevant, only your expirence matters. Thank you for sharing your life story with me hollow. I will remember it.
@@menegy2982 Thank you for sharing some of yours! I feel the same way, wish I would’ve played this game when it came out instead of several years down the line, but I suppose it made the impact when it was supposed to. I’m glad you enjoyed the video, and good to see you again!
To me, Outer Wilds about facing death in the other way too, it's deeply entrenched in grief. The Strangers and the Nomai both faced great cultural and personal grief finding/trying to find the eye and the one Hearthian outside of the time loop who is aware of the death of the universe goes through an intense grief cycle every loop. I could go into a whole diatribe about it but I only have so much lunch break so I won't.
@@thevampireauthoress Oh absolutely. Grief and death are in so many ways synonymous. My wife always says that you grieve all of your loved ones a little bit at a time as time passes, even when they’re still here. You do the same for the Nomai and the Strangers, then the hearthians when you realize the eye doesn’t “save” them either. You grieve a little with each part of their story that you find, every realization. You even grieve the loss of your own life as you realize that ending the loop doesn’t stop the sun from exploding. It’s a really beautiful metaphor that way, I think a lot of us kinda feel invincible when we’re younger, and reality sort of dawns later in life, course my illusion might’ve ended a little early what with all of the almost dying. 😂 I hope you enjoyed the video, thank you for checking it out!
I have started writing an essay about what Outer Wilds means to me... dozens of times. So far I have always given up because it means too many things at once. Maybe in another 5 years I'll be ready.
@@plantagominor722 this game does manage to cover a LOT of what it means to be a sapient life form with so little direct storytelling. It’s really a pretty perfect microcosm of the experience of life as a whole. Honestly I had to pick a particular thing to cover this games relation to because you could probably write this length of video in connection to 10 different subjects. I appreciate you checking out my take!
Glad my channel makes you feel things! And good lord I know that ending is BRUTAL but wholesome at the same time. Such a unique and wonderful experience.
@@Quesaracha lol I wanted to see if I could change my player model to Slade so I could get footage of him rapidly eating marshmallows, but I couldn’t get it to work 😂 I’m glad you enjoyed the vid, I had a wonderful time playing it with you! ❤️
For me Outer Wilds was about making the best of a bad situation. The Nomai are dead, but we can learn from their ruins and writings. Reibeck is terrified of space, so they take their journey to archaeological sites in stages with multiple stopping points. The universe is dying, but we can make another one. Everyone you know is going to die, but you had time with them in the first place. Outer Wilds tends to affect people a lot more when they explore the village at the start thoroughly. They know the people, they know what's at stake, and they know that everyone here did their best. Not always with the same objective, but they tried, and they lived and even if you're just coming in at the end then if the last thing Mica does is test another model rocket then damnit that kid should be allowed to. Looking at the two other species gives different variations on the theme. The Nomai clan were far too eager to jump at a new situation that they created the bad one in the first place, but their eagerness led to the Hearthian's inspiration to go to the eye. Their pilgrimage to the Quantum Moon is even a close-enough to not being able to get to the Eye of the Universe itself. The Strangers, however, refused the possibility when given a chance, blocking it off for others...all except one who took a chance to make things change as their society descended into the stagnant existence of the simulation. I like to interpret the Prisoner's howl when you show them the history they missed as mournful vindication, finally knowing that they did the right thing. Comparing these two to the Hearthian's situation, we reach an idea that taking an opportunity to change a situation is good, but whatever you do think about it for a bit first. The Hearthian had so long to think across all of those loops, after all.
A very valid conclusion! You do sort of end up at “well there’s no way to fix it,” by the end of everything, or at least not in the way that you thought. One of my favorite aspects of this game is how broadly interpretable it is. It’s like a little microcosm of the experience of life, and who you are personally can profoundly affect what you take out of the experience.
@@Hollowly oh HA DeLand text response because I'm busy definitely not because I didn't realize crushing a chip could make anyof those sounds I'm smart mhmm yep run on paragraph.
This game really sticks with you, and it really does help you to cope with the idea of death. Not in the cheesy I'm going to go to heaven way, no offense if that's what you believe, but in a very real, things go on it just changes kind of way. Loved this video, also this looks better than your other vids somehow? Not just the editing but like visually lol
Thanks dude! Yeah I figured out some very basic stuff about video quality and how to export in better framerates. Turns out you have to actually... look at some of the settings. Crazy.
@@jadegecko I’m glad somebody else did that because when I first noticed I was like damn I really don’t be listening. And at the point where you actually enter the eye and you’re falling through that goop, you can turn around and look up and see your body with a cracked visor. It’s somewhere around that point anyway!

This TH-cam channel and this game are equally skilled at making me cry about stuff.
Glad my channel makes you feel things! And good lord I know that ending is BRUTAL but wholesome at the same time. Such a unique and wonderful experience.
This was an incredible game, and your insights and connections made with this game are beautifully portrayed. Loled at“Lay off the marshmallows dude”

You're a frustratingly good writer. I hope every chip you dip breaks for the next month.
Jokes on you, when a chip breaks, IT ONLY MAKES MORE CHIPS.
Ohhhhh snap crackle and pop@@Hollowly
