The two Questions every Outer wilds players asks themselves at some point: 1. Where is my Ship? 2. Why is my Ship THERE?

This guy figured out the quantum moon pretty much by pure intuition and also couldn’t figure out that he could take pictures for like 20 minutes. Incredible lol.

Notices the sun is going to go supernova 1m before it does on the first loop. Spends the entire second loop watching sand decrease. Definitely unique from all the other playthroughs I've seen.

10 Universal Outer Wilds experiences: 1. Auto Pilot takes you into the sun 2. Try to brute force the ghost matter 3. "How did my ship get THERE?" 4. "I wonder if I can outrun the Supernova?" 5. "I wonder if I can land at the sun station?" 6. "oh THATS how you get into Ash Twin" 7. Terrified of Dark Bramble 8. Existential Crisis 9. Questions the meaning of life 10. Cries at the ending Honorable meantion: 11. Tells all your friends they HAVE to try this game, but struggle to convince them without spoiling anything

It's fascinating to see what people do and don't pick up on... And leaving your ship without your suit on is a rite of passage.

This man is the most intellectual idiot I've ever experienced. It is glorious how amazingly quick he solves puzzles without most of the information and then proceeds to throw himself at a wall wondering how to solve a much easier puzzle. I love this man.

The amount of times he says “I understand now” and 100% does not understand at all 😂 love it

The irony of this being the most feldspar of playthroughs but Thor never finding feldspar tickles me

I love how "the song" makes everyone so much more vigilant and on edge the first time they hear it

There's another youtuber who collects supercuts of blind Outer Wilds playthroughs- you've done their job for them! This game has a Serious Cult Following for blind playthroughs because we all crave that first playthrough feeling again.

It felt like he was playing the game as if he was solving a puzzle rather than solving a mystery. He ended up unintentionally ignoring a lot of the story as he was just searching for what he had to do mechanically to beat the game rather than working out what was going on in the story which caused him to miss out on a lot of the nuance to the solutions and the significance of the steps required. He figured out what to do, but never worked out why.

This guy kept solving the most complicated puzzles like is was nothing, yet struggling with the simplest things and features throughout the whole thing. Finished the whole game in one stream too. Definately one of the more unique playthroughs.

This is the Mr. Magoo playthrough of outer wilds. Dude spent an hour solving the quantum imaging puzzle, then solved the quantum moon instantly with half the information missing, then warped into ash twin once again with literally zero information, forgot completely about the sun station, rammed his ship facefirst into the interloper and gave up on it, the list just goes on.... I am going to have a brain aneurism. I love it.

A totally blind OW play through. For 13 hours. My god. That’s a rare sight to see

"Wait, the sun looks different." I love seeing people play this game for the first time. It's such a magical thing to witness.

10:59:00 I have heard devs lament about how hard it can be to get players to look up, but I didn't truly understand the struggle until this part. A bunch of skeletons staring at a fixed point up high, literally pointing to the spot, and he starts counting fingers before he turns his head upwards. Edit: fixed timestamp

9:58:36 To have deduced all of the game’s mysteries on his own, the fact that he never realized what was happening whenever the cyclones hit is hilarious

Out of all the Outer Wilds playthroughs I've seen, spending the entire second loop waiting for the Ash Twin's sand to fall is a new one 😅

i love this game but i'm sad that he didn't get to experience all of it. i loved reading Solanum's messages, essentially watching her grow up (and then ACTUALLY getting to meet her!!), and the messages left on brittle hollow where the survivors setup the first settlement were incredibly sad. the thrill of entering the orbital probe cannon for the first time and seeing the destruction up close wanting to find the missing module. the eva at the sun station was as breathtaking as it was nerve wracking. i really wish i could experience it just one more time.

I love how often he goes "I see now, so X is what happened" and X is not what happened ahah The true Outer Wilds experience

The fact that he got inside of the Ash Twin Project before even flying to Dark Bramble is nuts lmao

I love the progression from 1:12:30 to 1:13:30 In only a minute, he goes from "wait what did I do wrong?" to "okay bet" This game is so good

Can't believe he found the ash twin project so soon, it basically tells the entire game's story and lore all in one place. It was the literal last place i found in my first playthrough and i feel like that was intended since it confirms everything you've theorized and learned, as well as provides the core.

Only read if you've played the game: Things missed: - Most of the Ash Twin warp towers - The Sun Station (largely due to missing ash twin warps) - OPENING THE MAP - Tracking things with the ship log - Going inside the probe cannon - Meditating - Resting by the fire - The black hole forge (due to missing ash twin warps) - Breaking Spacetime at the high energy lab - Playing with the Ash Twin Project's blackhole (including, meeting yourself) - Meeting Feldspar - How warp cores work (1:1 black/white hole pairs)

I used to think that a replay of this game would be pointless since I thought I had seen everything there was to see. After seeing him completely miss like 30% of the cool locations that I’ve seen, I’m convinced that I should jump back in for another play through to find places that I’ve potentially missed

This might be the least someone has needed to progress through the game in a playthrough. As a result, much of the emotional nuance didn't present itself because there wasn't a lot of being stuck and searching for hints. Looking for hints, you notice environmental details and exhaust dialogue options from NPCs. The thing about Outer Wilds let's plays is that we get to experience this piece of art in ways we wouldn't ourselves, in some cases because we'd think "No, this is the wrong way to experience it". Allowing people to not have the full and optimal experience (TM) widens the scope of the art. Through this playthrough and thousand others, there are perspectives available to us that enhance our understanding of art appreciation. And, stereotypically, we get to see the game with new eyes as if experiencing it for the first time. For the thousandth time.

Thor struggling with the quantummania section was mind boggling. If only there were a device that could generate an image...lol Love watching other people unravel this game, truly a gem

Around 51:00 I CANNOT GET OVER how the first "planet" you thought to go to was the QUANTUM MOON and you coincidentally didn't notice the "blip" noise as it disappeared as you looked around elsewhere

3:51:21 "I wonder what happens if I hit it really hard...I just hope there's no island there." You couldn't *write* a comedy bit more perfectly.

It makes me kinda sad he didn't get to see the sun-station, considering how many times he successfully went "can I land on that?" or even all the times he looked at the sun tower LOL

Its kinda nuts how he never realized the warp core music is because he literally just pulled the world's fail safe out and one mistake is gg.

i must say very impressed solivng quantum moon with 2 towers missing, and finding you know THE BIGGEST SECRET AREA OF THE GAME with no hints and jsut by looking at the teleporters is absolutly incredible

I found your channel through shorts recently, and knew I had to watch this. There's something really special about seeing someone's unfiltered response to discovering this game. Just over an hour in, and I've had a dumb grin on my face the whole time.

1:13:53 Has a whole star system to explore and decides to look at sand until he suffocates. 4:04:00 I am grinning throughout this whole segment. 4:23:30 Land with your feet, not your face. 6:46:30 It's crazy to me he has spent so much time on this planet and hasn't bothered to look for more towers except this one.

Thor: **Standing in an hourglass** Also Thor: "I wonder how long until the supernova happens..."

I love watching people play this game, because seeing people be so confidently wrong about so many things is simultaneously great fun and really infuriating. "I guess there's no way just no way into this building" *he says while staring at the door*

This play through is essentially the equivalent of skipping all of the cutscenes. Really enjoyed watching! You’re in a unique position. 90% of the time this game can only be played through once but I would argue that you actually could play again except rather than trying to find the “how”, go back and find the “why”. There’s a lot of story details you missed. I personally don’t mind because that’s fully in the spirit of Outer Wilds. Which is playing however you want to play as long as you figure it out yourself

I'm still laughing that he solved the quantum moon before he found the autopilot button.

"I have not had a problem moving my character at all." ***Vietnam flashbacks of the 27 times you've complained about the ship or jetpack not moving the way you expect it to***

I haven't seen anyone else talking about this, and I think it's pretty cool. So at about 4:38:26 I think what happened was that while the Quantum Moon was around Brittle Hollow, the quantum rocks on the moon were teleporting around being all quantumy and stuff. Then one of the rocks just happened to teleport right on top of his ship, messing with the collision and launching the ship out at incredible speed (which is a glitch that sometimes happens). It was then launched from the moon, where it crashed and bounced off the surface of Brittle Hollow, getting damaged, and then it fell into the black hole and ended up at the white hole It's just an insane coincidence that he also ended up going into Solanum's ship, warping back to Brittle Hollow on accident, and jumping into the black hole to find his ship waiting for him on the other side Edit: Someone else in the comments pointed out that while quantum rocks can launch your ship, apparently there is a different thing where your ship doesn't get entangled with the quantum moon, and so when he moved the moon the ship was just left behind. It's much more likely that that's what actually happened So the ship got left behind by the moon, then it collided with Brittle Hollow and got damaged, then it fell through the black hole to arrive at the white hole, where he would later find his ship again by pure chance. Which is still a pretty insane coincidence (although admittedly not quite as insane as I thought before)

Man; Outer Wilds soundtrack gets me everytime. I can’t wipe my memories of this game to experience it again but I will *gladly* continue to live vicariously through everyone else’s blind play through.

41:27 I just can't help but share the reason stars collapse when they start to form iron. It is not because it is stable but because of how when you fuse lighter elements together the mass of the whole is less then that of them separately (aka the mass defect) because the mass is converted in to energy (E=mc²). But once you get to heavier elements at around iron it inverts to where instead of energy being released it is absorbed. Since the energy released from fusing lighter elements is maintaining equilibrium with gravity once the energy is no longer being released gravity wins the battle and causes the star to collapse. Btw when breaking apart atoms in fission the same relationship is observed just in inverse so fissioning heavier elements will release energy and fissioning lighter elements would absorb energy.

> Goes to ash twin > lands next to the landing pad > spends the entire loop trying to discern its purpose outer wilds moment of all time

Him not paying attention to the conversation on the Twins and thinking the Geysers have a teleporter in them is hilarious

I can’t believe how much you missed because you figured so much out, I mean your not missing anything as you figured it out, but you missed for the sun station and feldspar which are quite massive, you also figured out two quantum rules without using the towers which is crazy and is rarely done by others

Funny seeing people that brute force the game, struggle so much with the ending. The game really wants you to just stop and smell the roses

It's totally fun watching people slowly realize that momentum exists in space, it reminds us of taking our own first baby steps in this awesome game.

Loving the long-play so far! But I do have a comment on 7:41:16 From a game design perspective, the reason why the fish do not reset, is so that the player has to really figure out how to deal with the fish, since they have to apply that knowledge in one go for the endgame. There are many avenues of figuring it out (although honestly, I feel it's not presented as well as it could be, since the main knowledge is hidden behind a pretty complicated puzzle), but being able to reset the fish every time would make the encounter entirely trivial and very brute-forceable. I'm sure there are other ways to go about it though. If I had to guess, I'd say Dark Bramble was one of the first or very last (under some crunch) areas that was designed for the game, and so does feel a little lackluster.

Im waiting with bated breath to see how long until he discovers autopilot to not have to worry about overacceleration

How does this man manage to never look directly at the door on the back of the sun tower? Feels like me when I played through the first time lol

I really wish I could erase my memory of having played this game so I can play it again with fresh eyes. I have never ever felt this way about another game before playing this one, or since.

Of all the things we learn while playing Outer Wilds, the most important are how momentum and inertia work

Its so fascinating to watch the order you found things vs the order I did, and how it changed the narrative pieces you built in your mind as you went. Very cool work, nice playthrough.

Best game I’ve ever played. Helped me through a particularly dark time. ❤️

Not going to the sun station, not finding feldspar, and skipping towers hahahah. I'm always so torn on these playthroughs, because so much cool stuff can be missed and you just have to watch in agony as they walk right past it lol. But it's also fun to see how other people figure stuff out and what they choose to pay attention to

Must be why the game is never on sale. Why put a game on sale when it's amazing? lol

6:38:48 There are multiple lights and a visible entrance on the outside of this pillar, but he doesn't notice and 40 seconds later concludes "I guess there's no way into that building." To be fair, that sand pillar is terrifying.

5:10 "What is that?" Aaaand there we go, it has its claws in you now. That's what'll keep you going, that question alone.

Always fun watching people struggle with the ship controls. It's not velocity you're controlling, but acceleration. Really easy to get going once you understand that to reach your destination you have to be accelerating for half the time, and decelerating for the other half

5:59:20 I think the sun expanded, and the Interloper got too close and died, which is why the supernova music didn't play.

I oftentimes see comments under Outer Wilds Playthroughs that are pointing out, how someone did not play the game "right" or was missing information. While I get the place where these comments are coming from, I think the beauty of Outer Wilds is: You can't play it wrong. There is always an emotional impact, wether you stumble your way into soultions by luck or intuition or by learning the necessary information. The emotional impact may be different from mine or yours, but the experience is not worth less, because someone did not see everything. You can still learn a lot about the story later, but you can only experience the game once. Don't shame people, because they did not have the same experience as you. Enjoy the ride they have.

I love how there are so many consistencies on different peoples playthoughs. Accidentally flying into the sun, purposefully flying into the sun, incorrectly trusting autopilot to not fly into the sun.

*Moves* "It detected me even though I wasn't moving" Certified Outer Wilds classic right there :)

Always love watching people playing Outer Wilds blind, wish I could forget everything about this game so I could experince it for the first time again. Alas I know just have to enjoy watching others play through the game, great VOD happy you enjoyed the game

I acknowledge that am a junkie and outer wilds blind playthoughs are my drug so I'll watch almost any. But an 11 hour continuous blind playthrough by a puzzle master like Thor? This is the breaking bad blue meth of outer wilds playthroughs. I watched the entire thing and it was every bit as satasfying as I had hoped. I'm excited to see you play the DLC!

I know my comment might be lost in the sea, but games like this are beautiful. I've always fallen in love with games that are experiences, not just another progression dump or skill game. Tunic was another example of a game that was more than just a game... (It also made me cry at the end...) I love finding people playing games like this, and I love when it leaves an impression on them. Thank you, Jason, for being an awesome guy, and sharing in your experiences in games like this. I've binged a lot of your videos these past few weeks, and each one makes me smile. You've helped me out of a depressed time in my life, and I want you to know, thank you. Stay wonderful, friend.

This is, with out a doubt, the most incredible game I’ve ever seen. Never before have I seen such depth and emotion be showed without speech. It’s beautiful to be able to hear a familiar melody from anywhere in the solar system and pinpoint where you are. The music may not be important to the story, but without it this game would never be so perfect

300 iq playthrough besides missing the "take a picture of the gate that moves" hint for 10 min lol

10:26:35 "i have not had a problem moving my character at all" smash cut to the 10 times he fell into the black hole because "how long do i have to hold the button for it to boost???"

I'm so glad to see playthroughs where people understand and accept the ending because they kinda got the clues on how the story would go

I've only just begun to watch this longplay but it's so nice to see someone who actually appreciates all the thought put into this game and notices all the little beautiful details and plays it with an inquisitive mind. I can't play this game again so watching others play it for the first time is the closest I have to reliving it.

3:57:54 I've never heard the ship alarm go off like that without the reactor being damaged. I was very surprised when your ship didn't just explode.

Funny how he can bypass huge amount of steps out of pure curiosity - reach huge plot points but not knowing how his jetpack works for almost 2 hours LOL even at 4th hour...why doesnt he use his jet pack to slow down *any* fall or redirect himself. Unfortunate that he didnt go to a lot of lore interesting spots. He would be patient enough to wait on the ash twin, but nope the F out within 0.5 seconds lol...or use his flashlight in the quantum moon tower. unfortunate he didnt truly experience the whole game. He sped thru them.

Every time i watch another one of these Outer Wilds playthroughs, makes me wish i remembered who the first one I ever watched was. It was perfect. They were invested in the story, talked to everyone thoroughly, explored everything, got every detail... and now every playthrough I have seen ever since, just doesnt live up to it and leaves me feeling sour, like "Why dont you actually care about the lore in the games you are playing, why play them at all if thats how you feel?"

This game is the most viscerally upsetting and absolutely beautiful work of art I have ever witnessed. I can’t put into words how hard this game makes me cry in dread and smile I’m absolute joy, it’s awful and gross and unique and absolutely beautiful and amazing.

it's really impressive how you manage to figure out so many of the mechanics before you even find the hints for them I can't believe you didn't meet Feldspar even once (excluding the ending)

4:21:14 "i've learned something that will stay with me no matter what" that's this entire game summed up in one sentence. It's why this game is so freaking good.

Thank you for letting me experience my favourite game of all time once again, vicariously through you.

4:37 "LET ME IN" and "I didnt expect to do a lot of things, so I died" embody some absolutely happy-go-lucky energy that breaks the templates, converging with your soothing deep voice

04:04:00 It's nice to see even accomplished gamedevs and experienced players sometimes ignore blatant tutorial messages :D Great playthough so far!

Outer Wilds might be the most special game I've ever played in 30+ years of gaming, and I'm glad you've been able to experience it as well. It was my game of the year for 2019, narrowly beating out Disco Elysium; it's also my game of the decade for the 2010s, and I still can't hear those three notes on a banjo without getting misty eyed, which can be a little rough since I am, in fact, a banjo (but luckily, mostly mandolin) player. It's absolutely wonderful, meaningful, has a lot of heart, and really captures a bittersweet kind of spirit that can be extremely difficult to articulate. The fact that you're the one who has to construct the story as you go, and it necessarily filters through your own personal perspective, means everyone experiences it a little bit differently as well, which only heightens the impact and makes it even more personal. Outer Wilds really shows the power of gaming as a storytelling medium.

I'm about 3 hours in so far, and I am routinely shocked at how well you can piece together the bigger picture or just notice the tiny details like the probe firing off in a different direction each time or immediately putting together the symbol for the eye of the universe with only the attlerock dialogue to go off of.

The thing I love about this game is how well the build up to the inevitable end is done. New players instantly feel the sense of unease as the sun grows and the music starts, after a few loops that feeling turns to frustration as it becomes clear there is no way to avoid the time limit. Eventually though, it turns to satisfied resignation as players realize that they've done all they could with the time that they had. With such a simple mechanic, it makes a profound commentary on death and loss.

Been enjoying the shorts and am happy to be able to watch the full playthrough now

The speed with which he figured out how to go to the north pole in qm is not common (love the game, re-experience it through others playing it). That's a smart dude

I just spent like 10 minutes yelling "you have a camera" at my phone my coworkers are looking at me weird.

Man this is easily my favorite game of all time. The fact that you can really only experience it one time. And the fact that the entire point of the game is to explore for explorations sake alone. To uncover the mystery of the world around you. Showered in constant wonder and awe. It has to be one of the most pure, magical, and unique experiences I've ever had, in gaming and in life. And that it's a one shot deal just drives cherishing that experience to an uncontestable place in my heart.

This is genuinely one of the most resonant games I’ve played in a loooong time. The fact that a few kids in college made such a tightly woven, well structured game is frighteningly impressive. Whatever they put out next is an instant purchase from me: no pressure 😉

For a game dev, I had hoped he would be a bit more thorough with the dialogue and exploration-and just caring about the story-especially considering his own game’s entire story is told entirely through dialogue. But this is still good. Hopefully he gets a bit more thorough as it goes along. Edit: He did not. I know he’s a hacker and all, so the mechanics and puzzles are quickly solved and the most fun to him, but I wish he gave the game time to breathe. Not sure if that’s more of a problem with his particular brain, or the fact that this is a single play session, but I do wish he paid more attention to the importance of all of the information rather than just the mechanical relevance of the revelations. Seems like he didn’t even care about the story, just tried to solve the puzzles. Still an interesting playthrough, but I find mysef wishing he took his time in multiple sessions, as opposed to plowing through the whole thing in one go. I walked away feeling that core emotional experience of this game was missing.

This playthrough was genuinely so fascinating to watch. He’s exceptionally clever and repeatedly solves complex problems while still missing important info - not by brute force, but actually figuring it out - and yet continuously struggles with basic mechanics and repeatedly misses really obvious cues. Like, at one point he says there’s no way into the Sun Station warp tower while looking at the open door, but he manages to intuit 2 out of the 3 quantum rules on the fly. Definitely one of the most interesting streams I’ve watched.

Having watched so many of these, this is one of the weirdest paths through the game. You missed so much, and solved so many problems without any clues aside from what the puzzle hands you on-site. I would love to see how you go through the Echoes of the Eye DLC.

I get chills everytime I watch someone experience experience their first loop.

Came from shorts algorithms, saw that you had outer wilds video, watched it, subscribed

For a game that is so lore and story based, he rushed the main objective too hard. There was still so much more to see to tie the whole experience together.

(Spoilers for the video!) Here's a list of things he didn't do in this playthrough! Not intended to be used out of malice, of course. The list is here either for the curious people, or for Thor himself in case he wants to ever go back and try some of these things. I'll add a star to all the most interesting/useful ones! -*Didn't learn how to meditate (and end the day early through the menu), by talking to Gabbro on Giant's Deep, which is something that unlocks as a talking option after the 3rd loop, assuming you've talked to him at least once on one of the previous loops; -*Didn't find Feldspar (the guy that Thor didn't recognize at the end times); -*Didn't find Feldspar's harmonica music on Timber Hearth (if Thor ever wants to find this guy on his own, this is where I suggest he starts, in case he reads my comment! Won't spoil anything else, tho him and Gabbro are absolute chads); -Didn't go to the Anglerfish fossil directly; -Didn't go to the Quantum Grove (this one only helps make sense of Gabbro's little thing at the end, with the signs); -Didn't find the frozen ship on the Interloper; -Didn't find the Dark Bramble Dev easter egg, but, to be fair, I think I've only seen CohhCarnage find it, if I recall correctly, and it's not important to begin with; -*Didn't cause a paradox at the High Energy Lab, after throwing the Little Scout into the miniature Black Hole, and recalling it before it entered (but after it left the White Hole); -*Didn't cause a paradox by waiting out the end of the sun inside the Ash Twin Project core, and then meeting his paradox self, and then dying somewhere else after; -*Didn't just leave the star system with the Ash Twin Project core, thus getting an alternate, cold, lonely ending; -Didn't leave the star system to just get an alternate loop ending animation; -*Didn't go onto the Sun Station via a black hole teleporter, to find out something, well, rather harrowing and sad! (not gonna spoil exactly what, unless he found it out by himself, I don't remember, but this knowledge is one of the more important ones, because it changes how you feel about everything, but, ofc, it's not mandatory to finish the game); -Didn't try to land onto the Sun Station manually, which a lot of us tried, and only the mightiest succeeded; -He's never been on the Orbital Probe Cannon, around Giant's Deep; Things he figured out intuitively, without learning about them in the game: -The Rule of Entanglement ("if the observer stops observing, due to lack of light, they too will move along with the quantum object until they start observing again", learned usually in the caves of the Ember Twin, when you find the quantum rock); -The Rule of the Sixth Location ("in order to reach the Eye of the Universe's version of the Quantum Moon, you have to get the tower to the North Pole", learned usually in the Tower of Quantum Knowledge); -How to reach the core of Giant's Deep (learned usually from Feldspar, and you also find out that the jellyfish taste horrible!); General Notes: As some have mentioned, the fact he figured out so much by pure intuition, in conjunction with the facts he took SO LONG figuring out that he could take pics in the Tower of Quantum Trials, was absolutely hilarious, and I loved watching it! It says a lot about both his intuition, and about the game's design, that he was able to do so much on his own. Some may say it's the game's fault for not making the tips a bit more obvious, but I think Thor preferred it that way. Having your hand held is necessary at times for games, but can also impede a person's self-satisfaction at achieving goals on their own. I do like how this game does it, since it feels like the hand holdy parts that tell you how to beat the game are meant for the Nomai (and other travelers they would've maybe met had they lived), and you're just stumbling across it all. It's not as immersion breaking as "text screen pops up on your monitor telling you exactly how to beat this puzzle", and I appreciate that a lot. Also, his Pavlovian fear of entering a black hole, worrying it will put him at the white hole station is hilarious as well! The ending is as amazing and melancholic as always. T-T And I absolutely agree. Fuck Anglerfish. Fuck Dark Bramble. Fuck 'em. All in all, absolute blast of a video to watch! I can't wait for DLC, I think he'd love it to a good degree! Lemme know if I missed something. ^^

4:10:47 twitch be like "this dude has a camera and he asks himself "where is an image of quantum object?", JUST MAKE ONE! DO IT!"

11:07:17 I think we reach a point when a lot players want to play something unique, special as they got tired of grinding games and they have other things to do. This game leaves a lot positive vibes after all, devs did incredible job.

10:24:40 the game actually gives you a minimum speed when you enter, it keeps pushing you until you get past the anglerfishes, to prevent you from getting softlocked that way :)

The fact that he speedran death has me in stitches! I'm pretty sure there was some kind of achievement for that too

Been watching your shorts really then had to pop in for a playthrough of my favorite game. I cry every time the ending music plays. You are so, so good at cycling through the things you can do to engage with a mechanic. The way you trial and error'd rapidly through solutions to things that are, elsewhere, given hints for was just wild. Thanks very much for giving me another Outer Wilds story to watch!
