  • One of the most unique Outer wilds playthroughs, includes basically all uncommon/ very rare things that could happen during a run, including one very special find at 1:45:10 ::)
    This video covers videos 1-35 from Oliver's unedited playthrough: • Astrophysicist plays |...
    The remaining parts are in the DLC supercut: • Astrophysicist witness...

      Oliver, we mean it when I and many more of us say that your playthrough of Outer Wilds is the DEFINITIVE playthrough of the game on TH-cam. You are so smart and clever and tuned in and more than any other playthrough I've seen, yours is easily the most enjoyable and immersive.

      Right? He figured things out so much faster than I did, I thought NO WAY he just immediately made that connection.
      Also, every time he stepped on a teleporter, it just happened to be aligned and immediately warped him, so he thusly came to the incorrect conclusion that they always warp you upon contact.

    1:20:50 As a note, he didn't "land" in his ship. The game automatically does this whenever you are in/near your ship or it falls through at the same time as you do.

      I’m no astrophysicist but so was I. The concepts in this game are extremely dumbed down versions of real science concepts and physics. I figured out the quantum moon as soon as I noticed it disappeared, I used the probe launcher to rapidly speed or slow down using Newton’s third law. It’s not the hardest thing ever. Hell I noticed the sun turning red a lot sooner than he did. You think of certain science concepts and it starts to make sense. The only thing I’m struggling with is figuring out how to get to the sunless city because I suck at tracking time and I get lost on that planet easily. But other than that the game is pretty simple to understand and I usually find most secret stuff eventually usually by coincidence

    Hello, I just wanted to say thank you for all of the support these past days. I originally intended to make this video as a 1000 subscriber special, but it seems like that goal went by fast :D
    This playthrough is probably my favourite one, I just really like the way Oliver figures out this game.
    If you guys could do me one favour I would really like to see as many of you as possible write something nice on About Olivers channel, maybe on the latest video. Please do check out his channel, I really feel like many of you would enjoy the “vibes” there.
    Anyway, during the editing process, I made some notes of things I had to cut, which you will find in the unedited vods:
    Multiple attemps at timing the loop and forgetting about it
    attempting to land on the quantum moon (flying straight through it)
    lock-on bug frustration
    Analysis about all kinds of symbols and marks the nomai left behind.
    Trying to remember everyone’s names.
    Small theory on how eye of the universe is on the attlerock (episode 12)
    “Universe is sick” theory (episode 24 + in a few other episodes)
    DLC + ending supercut coming soon-ish!

    Oliver is one of the smartest players I've seen, his Obra Dinn, Subnautica and now Hollow Knight playthroughs all reflect that, with him predicting and understanding things hours before they happen
    At times, he would come to a seemingly far-fetched conclusion (altho one I know is true because I played these games) and then he explains how he got to these conclusions and I end up learning something new I didn't even consider. Currently watching him watch Hollow Knight, and he already figured out several major parts of the story and lore, a game where I'm not gonna lie - even after finishing I needed some Mossbag lore videos to fully understand. He just doesn't know he's correct yet.

    Oh, wow. I've loved all your supercuts so far, but after 14 minutes of this one, I just HAVE to go watch the original uploads. This guy is picking up so many things that others don't, and small things I've never seen anyone else pick up, like the comet's two tails in the diagram, or that the devs put in actual constellations. To other things like that other stars are going supernova in the background (On his first loop, no less), or how he figured out the terminology of the quantum shards seconds after seeing the first one, that no matter how well it's cut, I feel like this supercut might miss some great small observations he makes.

      been looking for this comment, and with the games apparent attention to detail its not far fetched at all. Especially since the solar system (for gameplay or aesthetic reasons or whatever) is like miniturized/condensed.
      Its an idea ive played with even before hearing this, infinities in multiple dimensions?
      Like we obviously have infinity in space (statistically space is infinitely recurring if its infinite as we think), time (give everything enough time and everything will happen again and more), quantum mechanics (basically parallel universes, everytime a quark changes spin we branch off basically) but what about scale like, 99% of an atom is just empty space innit so what if our infinite universe is also just part of like an atom of an infinitely larger universe and even that repeats ad absurdum. (think like a mandelbrot set? it wouldnt invalidate that space repeats and even allow for spatial parallel universes but also reveal a larger pattern upon zooming out or in)
      Not to mention possible infinities with simulating realities, infinities of perception and memory (think of something like a Boltzmann Brain, for a split second a concious mind materializes with memories of entire lifetimes, universes and physical rules, they dont even have to make sense since it materializes out of pure randomness)
      Its crazy and has fucked with my mind ever since, if quantum behaviour as we observe in game is at a tangible, macro scale then it isnt far fetched of them to assume the "eye of the universe" to just be a valence electron?!
