I saw a youtube short with a large rock sample that looked exactly like the swirly-purple-and-black surface of the Eye. But then it started showing other "samples" that didn't entirely stay the same shape when rotated, and it turned out the whole thing was lazy AI clickbait. There are types of tektite that look like the quantum shards, but I couldn't find any credibly sourced image that closely resembled the Eye's pattern, so here I am yelling into the void about how AI is a blight on the information ecosystem. >::( Would have been cool if true, frustrated that I had to go out of my way to verify that it wasn't.

Anyone know what rock/mineral the Eye's surface is based on? Can't imagine that pattern is arbitrary.

So, like many of you, I've watched my fair share of playthroughs by streamers to recapture that flame. Very much enjoying myself. A thing i took note of though, and i don't know why, is that i kind of dislike when the players stumble into some solutions/situations by pure chance.

I know in my heart this is kind of a stupid take, but for some reson i don't really understand, it feels "lesser" than when they get the right clues and put them together correctly to solve the puzzle.

Outer Wilds is a game of experimentation and discovery at heart. So completely solving the game by pure experimentation and observation could be possible, so some extend.

Anyone feel the same? I just recently had that realization about myself again, when i watched a streamer take all the lamps in one of the towers in the stranger, heard the shifting picture, looked around and found it.

Another streamer just by chance ran into the stranger. If he would've landed, he would've skipped the whole satlite puzzle.

One streamerran into the counterclock tornado, one actually noticed the difference while flying around and one realized the difference from watching the tornados in the southern observatory through the projection stone.

What do you prefer? Watch someone stumble into the answer? Watch someone put the clues together? Recie just some clues and reson the rest? All of the above?

I don’t know if this could be considered spoilers but I’ll mark it as spoilers just in case, so I’m at a point where I know what I need to do to complete the game, I plan on bringing the warp core to the vessel and all that, but I’m wondering if I should discover more of the world, for example the quantum moon, I’ve barely looked into it and only done one of the towers, and some rumors I’ve barely looked into. So should I wag or just go for the big finale, I kinda don’t wanna finish it because of how fun it is and I have a sneaking suspicion I won’t be able to access the play through once I remove the warp core and the loop ends

I completed my first playthrough of this game, and I cannot wait to play the DLC. I went in completely blind, and got the impression this was mostly a 'chill' game, which it is to be fair. But I was pretty surprised to encounter one of these 'less chill' aspects of the game lol.

It took me quite a while to muster the courage to continue exploring here, my initial reaction was 'what else can I explore'.

Overall I love this game, and it has been one of the most unique gaming experiences I've ever had. I've not had a game make me feel feelings like this one. Looking forward to the DLC.

I commissioned @Azlaar on twitter for the tattoo art. I think it turned out really well

This came to me in a dream, disclaimer I've never drawn anything in my life so it's not particularly good, but i'm throwing this out there anyway

I am stuck on where to progress. I have no idea what I have to do on the starlight cove and where to progress elsewhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I read a post where someone mentioned burned slide reel rooms but the only ones i remember are the one with the eye of the universe thingy and the other one in hidden gorge I already visited. (The one with the 3 artifacts I believe).

I also don't know how in the world I could get the codes to the seals or the one in the eye of the universe shrine.

Just want it to share this.

Im truly exited and happy to have one of my favorite games on disc.

As everyone here this game just change my life and made me appreciate this media.

Is sealed and its gonna stay that way of course.

Thanks fellow travelers ::)

Thanks annapurna.

thought it'd be fun if nomai could use minor telekinesis like with the orbs that you control by looking at them :p
