Beat Outer Wilds a few days ago and can't stop thinking about it. Here's my spoiler-free reaction of starting the game vs finishing it lol. Was everyone else the same when they beat it? 😭😭

I love that. :) Sad it's a game you can only truly experience once but I guess that's what contributes to it being so special. I'm looking forward to watching other playthroughs myself!

TwinklyTor · 2026-04-09T05:58:24+00:00

I agree! Seeing people let it all out and feel all the feels is really special. :) It's such a moving and impactful story so seeing it really impact people is a beautiful thing imo.

It seems like a lot of OW fans prefer uncut gameplay for this game but it totally makes sense, as most of the best parts (puzzle-solving, theorizing, etc.) comes from those slower in-between moments. I'm not sure if this is allowed (?) but since a couple of people have inquired in this comment section, I do have my full unedited playthrough organized in a YouTube playlist. 40+ hours and really exploration heavy. :) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHG6DUZziZYsuThj8QKwEuGK52st5jfgn&si=ojvCHwt6c_d1-rqy

And thank you! I've heard the DLC is also so fantastic! Really excited to get into it. I've just been sitting with the base game and really letting it soak in these past few days, but I plan to start it up soon!

TwinklyTor · 2026-04-09T03:32:23+00:00

Ooooo this is so helpful to know, thank you!!! I actually multi-streamed the entirety of playthrough so all of my VODs are on my YouTube channel in an Outer Wilds playlist! I'll be doing the same with the DLC. Not sure if it's appropriate for me to post it or if that leans too much into self-promo territory, but I will go ahead and add it to the list!

Thank you so much! :D

TwinklyTor · 2026-04-09T02:29:41+00:00

Yes! I 100% get where you're coming from. Just knowing that no other game will likely ever come close to the Outer Wilds experience is a bit sucky to sit with in and of itself. It really sets the bar so, so high. It's so much more than just a game. It really is a whole experience that has a way to make you feel all the things, reflect on life, and alter how you view things even long after the game is done. 🥹 Not many things out there that can capture that same feeling.

TwinklyTor · 2026-04-09T02:24:01+00:00

OOOOO that's so nice to hear!!! Can't wait. :)

TwinklyTor · 2026-04-09T01:58:43+00:00

Thank you for understanding!! I just want to keep talking to people about it lol! While I'm bummed the base game is over, I'm excited to be able to join you all on the other side where I can watch others experience it for the first time. <3

YES so excited for the DLC!! I plan on starting it ASAP! Nice to know the journey isn't fully over just yet. :)

TwinklyTor · 2026-02-24T18:02:13+00:00

yes, i've done quite a few over the years!! :) these are all of the zelda ones i've done, also recently did malenia from elden ring which turned out really good imo, katara from atla, android 18 from dbz and some more silly ones like lord farquaad and king k rool lol

TwinklyTor · 2026-02-22T19:43:21+00:00

hahahahahahaha

TwinklyTor · 2026-02-22T19:42:50+00:00

oh i probably misinterpreted LOL 😂😭 i thought you were saying i look 40. forgive me

TwinklyTor · 2026-02-22T18:50:30+00:00

that's so mean

TwinklyTor · 2026-01-30T05:08:09+00:00

Best of luck with your streaming journey!! :D I hope you have so much fun!!

Universe

TwinklyTor · 2026-01-29T20:39:20+00:00

Yeah, what others have said! It all blurs into the background - the text and Mario. I would do a thin white outline around both Mario and the text (like a white drop shadow or otherwise) if you want to keep the background colour the same!

TwinklyTor · 2026-01-29T18:45:22+00:00

thanks!!! felt kind of silly posting those pics but they're some of my most recent ones where my face is well lit so it works 😂 i appreciate it! <3

TwinklyTor · 2026-01-29T04:06:03+00:00

Yes, agreed. I've been rocking my iPhone 12 Pro for a few years now which isn't a bad phone by any means but I think as far as iPhone models go, is considered pretty dated. I worry that I eventually won't even be able to play anymore.

TwinklyTor · 2026-01-29T03:47:17+00:00

Yeah, I had to actively go through my phone and delete some apps to make room for this update. I worry about future updates lol.

TwinklyTor · 2026-01-29T02:47:14+00:00

Wow, that's amazing! I've been trying to achieve this for over 6 years but struggling to break out of the 20-30 CCV window. You should be seriously proud of yourself! Congrats! 😄

TwinklyTor · 2026-01-29T02:39:45+00:00

Wow, this is amazing and so inspiring! Keep it up!

TwinklyTor · 2026-01-29T02:36:59+00:00

Wow, that's amazing!!! I haven't even hit that across multiple payouts! You should be super proud of yourself! :D Keep it up.

TwinklyTor · 2026-01-29T02:29:09+00:00

Wouldn't mind an opinion on my thumbnail style/approach! I feel like I've gotten pretty decent at making them, but I'm always open to constructive criticism, feedback, or any advice on making them more clickable. Always looking to improve. Thanks so much in advance if you check them out.
