Good, also, it's SERN (Société Européenne de Recherche Nucléaire) not CERN (Conseil Européen pour la Recherche sur le Nucléaire), It's based on it but the fact is that the fictional is a private society while the true one is an European collaboration, wich make the "secret part" much less plausible in the real one than in the fictional counterpart.
4.1 At some point there are rummors of a dead body found in the same state as the gelatnious banana, that implies sending organic matter into the past is imposible, thats why they start sending only information (text).
@@GAMMAE Yes, that's what is shown in the gelyman's report, but it is also shown later that it's possible with John Titor. The reason they send information is that it's the first thing that is prooved to be send in the past (the one after the murder of Makise Kurisu)
I'm pretty sure the message itself means, that this is likely the last Outer Worlds patch we'll receive and it's just the devs thanking people for sending feedback that helped them fix bugs and the like
The numbers on the scroll are a reference to the Divergence Meter from Steins:Gate. Each "world line" has its own value displayed by the meter, allowing the MC to know if he is moving towards his original divergence line. Throughout the story of steins, the MC Okabe is altering the events and "diverging" from his original timeline. After accidentally creating a machine that can send emails to the past (d-mail), a snowballing effect of events leads Sern to ruling the distant future. They have a monopoly on Time Machines and as the original world line divergence point, Okabe has to try and prevent these events from taking place. "El Psy Congroo" is something like a catchphrase or callsign in the story. Its a really good watch or read if the plot sounds interesting. Lots of time loop shenanigans, and quite the compelling story. Sorry if there are any errors, its quite the convoluted story and its been a while since I've read/watched it.
the realization that the light fixtures are the same shape as the scrolls and the implication that they could have hidden scrolls like this anywhere in the game has me absolutely reeling tbh. i wonder if they had that in mind when they came up with the designs.
The reference is doubly funny when you consider that in Steins;Gate they ALSO use a black hole as means to transfer memories-turned-quantifiable-digital-data into the past
In the anime they also improve the machine that sends emails to the past to be able to also send someone their own memories to their past self, which is very much like Outer Wilds
That's so cool! I know from a few streams Jeffery has commented in that he really wanted to add a Steins;Gate reference in the original scroll text up there, since it already was about sending memories back in time, but I didn't think he'd actually put one in nearby. Cheers to the dev team, such an amazing game and I'm excited to see what they come out with next!
The numbers on the scroll are a reference to a device in the show called the divergence meter. In Steins;Gate, the number on the meter is known as the divergence value, an indicator for which timeline (or in the show's lingo, "world line") you're in. In the game, it's most likely an indicator for which loop you're in, relative to the start of your save file. In Steins;Gate, the characters have a goal of preventing the dark futures that wait for them by reaching a certain world line that's independent of any pre-determined outcomes. They refer to the hypothetical world line as "Steins Gate." In a way, the loop in which you finish the game on its true ending is your Steins Gate; the one timeline in your entire playthrough where you determine the future ahead.
That's sweet! Streaming Outer Wilds was one of the best game experiences I had on stream. Even though I played it only till the end of it and DLC, it stays on my mind till this day almost 2 years later.
I knew from the bottom of my heart that the creators had previously watched (and loved) Steins;Gate. Not blaming them, what a freaking show and what an amazing game they ended up making.
@@thetruebt7274 it’s just another nod to S;G, specifically the fact they do experiments on a bunch of bananas when they first realize there’s something funny going on with the microwave. Also worth noting that the messages seem to make the shape of a pin that becomes relevant later in the story
That's a pretty neat reference. I love Steins;Gate and if you haven't seen it, I recommend it! I don't wanna say much cuz, just like Outer Wilds, it's better to experience it without knowing what's gonna happen. c: Thanks for sharing this! I love the time lapse you did. I actually didn't know you had to wait so long to get to that area. The way I got there was by flying the ship thru the cave... which was not safe... but I didn't blew up somehow. xD
firstly, the time machine that you shown is a time machine, but not the one that send message to the past, it's one that trully travel throught time and send matter. the one that only send message is the Phonewave (Name subject to change), it's litteraly a microwave equipped with a phone to make it usable with only a call. Secondly, the "world line" is the main subject of steins;gate, it is kind of "quantified timelin" aroound wich timeline are, in them some event are unevitable and the main quest of steins;gate is to get to a precise world line, will not spoil more about it. Lastly, the "El Psy Congroo" is a reference to the chuny of the main character, he is a college student called Okabe Rintarou, but he play as if he was a mad scientist called Hooin Kyouma, researched by an organisation and in comunication with someone with it's telephone, at the end of each "call" he say "El Psy Congroo", and he also talk about destiny using the words "Steins Gate".
@@kahlzun come from "chunybyo", a common trope in anime where a character do as if he was some type of unique person with special abilities so he believe he is interesting, when he is normal in reality.
Wooooow I got super excited when I saw the reference in the notes but didn't realise they actually added stuff to the game. Also PLEASE watch Steins;Gate, it's easily my favourite piece of media ever
I'm guessing it's loop number, would have to go to the centre of Giants Deep to check Edit: It shows that I'm on loop 150 but got 80 on the banana scroll...next loop was 83 on the scroll
It could be a reference to their future project. It's not unheard of for small developers to hint at their new projects through late patches of 'easter egg' content.
@@Edpromar I entertained the possibility, but I think it's too different. The final curve and lack of writing where the names and year should be are too much for me.
@@damon22441 Three circles and a dash like none other in the game, but with the same scale and motion as on the badge, I don't think it can be a coincidence.
You're right, but I decided to make a guide to show those curious how to see it for their self. If you didn't want to watch the whole thing, you were welcome to skip ahead
No. The format of the video is pretty cool imo. It's possible to spoil the achievement in just a few seconds but that would be a totally different video.

if you pick up the banana and u go to the eye of the universe, in the next loop it will be a jellynana!
I need to check this out
That was the first thing I tried xdd
you can just bring the ship into the workshop for oxygen haha
The shape of lines does remind me of the trajectory of Voyager 1, but I think this meant to be logo of the lab
The banana in the scroll got me good, 10/10 reference
I'm going to be honest, I didn't notice until you made this comment 🙃

the text is in a peculiar shape, i think it's supposed to resemble the pin/logo of Okave's lab
Very cool. Never would've seen that without you!
Thank you so much for making the video showing this new secret

Outer Wilds is my favorite game, my girlfriends favorite anime is Steins;Gate, this makes me beyond happy!

don't you dare make me love this game sooooooo much more :D
Kinda bizarre seeing the Geometry Dash font over Outer Wilds footage
The union of one of the greatest games and one of the greatest animes 🙏
Wooooow I got super excited when I saw the reference in the notes but didn't realise they actually added stuff to the game.
Also PLEASE watch Steins;Gate, it's easily my favourite piece of media ever
I've gotten that a lot now. I'll definitely check it out
Also the number on the banana for this video was 66 but the number on my banana in game rn as I’m writing is 90
I'm guessing it's loop number, would have to go to the centre of Giants Deep to check
Edit: It shows that I'm on loop 150 but got 80 on the banana scroll...next loop was 83 on the scroll
El psy congroo 😎
I am mad scientist, It's so cool! Sonuvabitch
Is the scroll shape important? I mean it looks sort of like orbits.
It could be a reference to their future project. It's not unheard of for small developers to hint at their new projects through late patches of 'easter egg' content.
I'd dare saying the shape looks like a badge seen in the anime incorporating the initials of all the characters

Where do you even find those patchnotes? I didnt see any on steam
If you look up Outer Wilds patch notes it should be the first link on google
Is there any other secrets with the banana besides sending it back in time at the hourglass twins?
Wait, you can swim into the workshop? I've always had to wait for the cyclone
the text on top talks about what i assume is kid/teenage nomai that knows a way to sneak inside
i always use the ship instead of swim so i can get oxygen
I know I'm ruining the 69 comments, but I'm concerned for little Quantavius
...it's an anime reference?
it was a game before it was an anime
This video could have been 75% shorter.

5 seconds would be enough.

The shape of the message is very unique, is it also a reference to something?
BT What are you doing?
Cheers for the tutorial but this video could be like 40 seconds long but it's 6 minutes
all you need is to say "this video contains spoilers of outer wilds, the easter egg is in the statue workshop and here is how to grab it"
This video could've been 2 minutes long >_>
Hence the timestamps, skip to what's important to you
