Wait, who else has done it?

It’s taken me like 10 watched play throughs to realize why they bothered with the vault, diving bell, and submerging it. It’s all a means to torture. The locked vault ensures the prisoner dies within range of the fire - they were forced into the simulation against their will. The diving bell housed the flame was the most structurally sound, deliberately isolated, and would last the longest. They submerged the diving bell so that the prisoner would know the freedom of dousing the fire was that close but would never reach them. Then there’s also the pettiness of everything provided in the prison. A window that only just shows their planet, the telescope that found the eye, a device for sharing thoughts (with no one), and a board game that is presumably multiplayer-only. Imagine being so petty you give someone in eternal solitary confinement Monopoly.

​@@supercharged5-39 I agree but not necessarily on the timeline. We know the seeds can travel for very long periods of time in dark space. Of course there's a lot we don't know. I'm going to throw a few questions at you so buckle up. I theorize that all the aquatic life in the solar system originated from said Ice planet, including the now-Hearthians. Seeing as it's incredibly unlikely for multiple planets in the same solar system to similarly have aquatic species. It's pretty confounding for an Anglerfish to make it to Ember Twin though. Maybe its hunger caused it to explore the solar system long ago, but how did it keep it's intradimensional size? Anyway, let me straighten canonical questions here: 1: The Eye releases a death cry to all of the universe indiscriminately. How long does it take for this signal to travel? 2: The Stranger arrives and in short order seals the signal in horror, despair and disgust, immediately resuming the Eye's quantum flux. Does this have a quantum effect on time or concentrate the intensity of the signal? 3: The Owlkkin have limited resources and use their last years--at most decades--to invent virtual immortality. All the while the ice planet is growing vines. Before their bodies are completely abandoned, the now-Prisoner releases the signal which eventually reaches a passing Nomai Ship. What's the timespan here? 4: Nomai warp "there" to the relative coordinates, I'm assuming coalesced into the epicenter of the quantum orbit of the Eye. They land INSIDE Dark Bramble. It's clear from the slides that now-Dark-Bramble remained planetary during the events of the Stranger, but was it completely frozen? And there's probably a 1-10,000 year gap allowed by the time it takes for the Eye's signal to travel to the Nomai, however far away they are. Some people think the Nomai ship and escape pods caused the explosion, but they didn't exactly bring an atmosphere with them. Did the Bramble react so explosively to contain or restrain its intruder? Knowing the Nomai's time in their new home spanned at least to ancestral lengths, the lowest estimate is a 282,000 year imprisonment for our immortal friend. I wonder how high we can really estimate. 300,000? The wood of the dam in the Stranger was very rotten by Hearthians' time, but maybe it calcified and had no reason to break for all those millennia.

I dont think the Owls are even wrong about their choices, they learned exactly the same thing we did the Eye cannot stop the inevitable only allow one to witness the next cycle. There is no way to save what there already is. However unlike us, they dont accept the beauty of it, they choose to live their final moments in peace with each other, making an homage to what once was and mourning the decisions they've made along the way. The only wrong I can see within them is the depraving of the decision for other peoples to either accept the gift the Eye offers or live those last moments with each other saying goodbye to what they know.

Despite not knowing it and doing it for much more selfish reasons, what they did ended up being the right choice as it ensured the Eye was only activated at the end of the universe, sparing thousands of civilizations from being erased before they had a chance to bloom. The world of Outer Wilds does not operate on some kind of fate or prophecy, so the Hearthians being set up for success by the Owlks and Nomai is pure cosmic chance. Perhaps EVERYTHING is quantum in service to the Eye? We exist in the one possibility where the Eye can be found at the very end of the universe. I love this game.

I think they misinterpreted the vision (I don't believe the Eye ends the universe, just "fastforwards" to when it ends and then restarts it, but I don't think the Owlks saw it that way), and their reaction was kind of rash, but ultimately understandable.

People saying thanks from the Outer Wilds community, I wanna thank you as a Soviet fan. I was hoping we would get more of his supercut.

He breaks spacetime at the start because in his non dlc playthrough before he finished it, on his second to last loop, he jumps through the blackhole in the Ash Twin Project, creating a paradox for the next loop. However, the loop right after that he goes straight to the ending, preventing the break of space time because there was no loop to break. This gameplay starts technically at the loop after he jumps through the black hole, and thus: "YOU DESTROYED THE FABRIC OF SPACE TIME"

This already felt like a perfect complete game the first time I played it through. While I didn't doubt the DLC was good, I was wary of how they could add to existing content to top what was already there. Then I actually played Echoes of the Eye and it felt like it always belonged, seamlessly fitting in with the rest of the story. The thematic structure alone is incredible. It is about fear, from the very beginning it's unsettling to see that shadow, and get close enough to blot out the sun without seeing further detail until you are close enough to nearly collide. Every challenge within this ship is about doing what the aliens who built it failed to do: moving forward despite your own fear. As you progress you slowly dismantle those fears, through understanding you appreciate it all and shatter even the very illusion of a world they've created just to cheat your way into the prisoner's hold. By the end you are no longer afraid, your perserverence has paid off. The prisoner is vindicated by your memories, their actions having not been a vain effort that was thwarted and punished. The Nomai detected the signal and built the system that would locate the eye, and now a Hearthian will be the one to reach it. It's truly fantastic.

So this is a copy of what I posted to someone else so it may seem a little like it ignores some things you comment, but I just want to add on to your comment and gush more about the game: ​The whole fear theme has a lot more layers in the game. The entire game is set up so that you can explore most of it peacefully, but if you want to get to vault you will need to do what the owls can not and face your fear. Just the act of getting to the slides that show you the glitches you will need involves turning off the lights and braving the owl people to get to the archive rooms, but even the glitches themselves involve facing your fear. Each of the three glitches is something that the player could stumble into on their own, however it is fear that keeps the player from discovering them. The lamp is a source of light and comfort for the player in this dark area, even if they realize they can set it down, it is fear of losing or going away from your light source that keeps them near it. On the raft you learn to fear the water as it knocks you out of the dream, so you stay on your raft even when you can no longer see the water when loading between levels. Finally it is the fear of death and reseting the cycle which keeps the player from learning that even in death they can enter the simulation. And the game rewards those who face their fear and experiment. If you learn the lantern trick or the death trick, you can use that to skip having to wake up the owls and be able to easily enter their respective archive rooms.

These guys are freaking amazing writers. The themes of the base game are amazing and we all know them well but this DLC is a story of fear and they come at it from EVERY angle. The player has to deal with fear, the fear of death, of the stangers, of the known and unknown, and so much more. The strangers fell to fear, isolating and running from that which they saw. There's so many ways to look at it!

Another one ! yeeeees, Thank you

Outer Wilds is a game that I will always be impressed by. Because, in my opinion, it and the DLC did something that I haven't experienced in any other game. I was able to experience the game for the first time twice.

The level design in this game will never cease to amaze me. Not only is the story tightly written, but the way the player is guided to notice a few things at certain times (like using the flow of the river as the only efficient way to traverse the ring) creates such a natural and immersive feel to how the story unfolds. I'm really in awe of the planning every part of this game has seen!

0:25 It took me a moment... When he finished the main game he had "Self" in ATP, so when he loaded "last save" he was still there.

Yeah that was really funny. At first I thought it was because he hadn't activated the statue yet (even though he already had launch codes), and then I realized it. It's funny to think how close he was to destroying the fabric of spacetime on his last cycle.

never realized the signal for the owl was coming from 6 feet under because he's already dead hence being burried

I am truly amazed by how you managed to understand whole story from the very FIRST scroll! Like Bravo to you!

This game taught me that nothing was there forever... Everything has a start and an end, it doesn't matter what you do to delay it. After I saw the ending and learning this fact, I spent as little time playing videogames and as much time I could with my grandfather... I just wish I'd done it sooner... Old bastard left us too early, and now remembering the moments we had together, and the moments we didn't, I'm bawling my eyes out...

I love how sincere soviet is, his commentary like an inner monologue

The theories were brilliant , how does he manage to come up with such great things but also get stuck on the simple puzzles

The strangers were worse than most think by the time we see them. The nomai were active 200-300 thousand years previously and that signal could have traveled just as long or longer. That means the strangers were in the sim for hundreds of thousands of years where a light being snuffed was permanent. They had no reflex against boosting the light out. They were fine with straight murder, doubly so with then snapping your neck if you aren't carrying the lantern.

49:10 "im more relived they are more sane" They broke my neck first time xd

Was really excited to see the end of his Outer Wilds journey! Thanks so much for getting these out as fast as you have been, you must be a really hard worker!

1:27:05 the little sound of discomfort Soviet makes here is so genuine. love it

Soviet’s narration is amazing for this. He really inserts himself well into this character

Once again, Outer wilds brings me to literal tears. So glad these supercuts let me experience it again with Womble.

These "hmmm?" noises disturbed me now that I know his face.

OMG YES, I was waiting for this one !! Thank you so much, Eelis !

Thank you so much for these Supercuts. These are livestreams I probably wouldn’t discover if it wasn’t for your videos, so thank you for letting me relive this experience so many times ❤️

Bro every time I watch soviets play thru of this game, it makes me cry, cause he has such a poetic outlook on the game and such a beautiful perspective of the story, we love you Soviet

Wow thank you, and the speed at which you get these out!

Honestly I find this man fascinating. His line of reasoning is nearly perfect. First he puts together that this ship is a living ship, one that can't travel great distances quickly. (Frankly I only just realized this and causes me to ask many questions.) Then he learns about them finding the eye and becoming horrified at it. Then he see's them creating the station and stay here. Naturally this leads to the question. Why did they stay? The Nomai stayed because they crashed so they couldn't, bad they were curious about the eye so they didn't want to. The owlks on the other hand have the means to leave, and have no interest in finding the eye. So why didn't they leave? He then geniously deduced that they must not have a home to return to. He practically discovered their main motivation in the first 15 minutes of the video. It's also clearly not fake since he made similarly smart deductions that are completely wrong. He assumes that they must have died from the interloper(smart since it's what killed everything else) but then why didn't the Nomai find them? If they both heard the signal then they should arrive at similar times. Perhaps the Nomai a little bit sooner since they have teleportation. So then how could they miss the massive space station entering the solar system. Especially since it only becomes cloaked after they arrived. Conclusion: the owlks must have arrived after the Nomai already died. The only hole in this deduction is why is there ghost matter in the ship then? If they arrived after the interloper released the ghost matter and the Nomai were dead then the ghost matter should have dissipated before they arrived. Same with them still being alive. He see's the ship is moving and that there are no corpses. If they did arrive after the Nomai then the ghost matter may not have gotten them. So perhaps they're still here. His ideas are building off each other and fixing holes in previous theories. At this point I'm just gonna gush over all his theories. Oh my word he realized it's a simulation. Frankly that's a big leap. I suppose he put together that they missed home, that despite adventuring in this place for so long he hadn't found any of those devices, and the fact they fell asleep and put together that there must be a dream world? The 3 district idea is fascinating. He's seen 3 areas and knows this device with 3 passwords is important. So perhaps it controls them. His feeling of their sudden mood change is interesting as well.they way they suddenly seem evil. It makes sense tit would seem that way. The hidden projections were created by the prisoner who disagreed with the rest of the owlks so it makes sense he's portray them as a bit sinister.

That guy in Bloodborne who said we need more eyes really was onto something wasn't he

I really like when Womble playing game, he always so immerse and synthesis with the characters and not afraid to show emotions on streams.

I think out of all the playthroughts, Womble's is my favorite. It is just so tender.

Thank you a lot for the supercut! Started to watch his Livestreams but there were just way to many ours. With your supercut it's way easier to follow anything without this huge time investment!

Thank you so much! I've been waiting for this

Please keep doing these sovietwomble supercuts, they're a great watch!!

Looks like this was an amazing playthrough, he seemed really tuned in to the story and made a lot of good guesses about what was going on. I love this game so much.

Thank you for posting this, watching him live was very frustrating at times hahaha. He would see the glitches and not even think to try them

i think it's really clever that he noticed that the overt maliciousness of burning their history and locking people in rooms if they try to fetch the backups felt out of character, because the devs mentioned in some interview that there was an unseen turning point that made them go from just hiding away and preserving their history in said hiding place to outright destroying all the forbidden things

Your collection is ever growing. Joeseph anderson is a great next candidate ^^

A series of edirs of Joseph Anderson's Outer Wilds streams would be redundant because they already exist.

Thank you for sharing your journey. This game means so much to me, I can't get enough of watching others experience it too.

Same!

Holy hell, Womble is SHARP

Ah! I see him going through the blackhole warp at the end of the last time finally payed off! Wonderful

I really appreciate Womble's occasional dramatic monologues at key moments. He's got a good narrator voice, makes me feel like I'm watching a documentary.

Thanks for the supercut! Also, I appreciate your little notes ::)

I just wanna say that I am amazed how smart wombel is. From the first slide he deduced almost half of the backstory in one go.

Thank you very, very much. I needed that today ❤

I'm amazed at how fast you edit these and at their quality. Keep up the good work

Appreciate the work you do for us that can't sit through an entire stream, cheers.

Somehow cried harder at this than when I played it myself

It's insane to me how much Womble put together about the Owlks by only reading two burnt slide reels.

I appreciate you cutting out the like hour of Womble figuring out the last lock.

Can't belive I don't se any other comments about your emoticon using 4 eyes: ::0 Brilliant! ::D

Lessss gooo! Ty for these compilations

I'm impressed how quickly he, relying entirely on his guesses, accurately outlined the plot of the stranger and his inhabitants (I'm talking about the arrival and their motivation)

thank you for the upload !!

Oh cool. I was wondering if he had played the DLC. Thanks for the upload (and the supercut)!

"He didn't realize you could drop the artifact anywhere" Yeah man neither the fuck did I

Literally just cried. I finished the dlc like 10 minutes ago, but turned off the game before I went to the eye again. So instead I opted into watching sovietwomble do it as I have been watching this as i went through the dlc. And as the final song came together, the conclusion of the greatest adventure, I cried.. Funnily, I didn’t cry when I finished the base game. I guess thats because i knew there was still the dlc, still one more adventure, but now theres not. I have finished possibly the greatest game ever made and that will ever be made. Good bye Outerwilds

Once again, I find it impressive that he's managing to put together all these little details before the game actually tells him. Like the ship moving away from the star and the whole species uprooting their lives for the voyager.
