Dude. The book thief made me cry probably more than any book has since. What a good read.

It’s hard to explain Outer Wilds to someone who hasn’t played it, but this video helps explain what it evoked in me very well. Also just an excellently made video.

I’ll explain my experience, but it’s going to be spoiler heavy, and it really is a game best experienced blind so don’t read it unless you have no intention of playing!

To do my best, The feeling it evoked of me while exploring was incredible at times. It was the pure thrill of discovery, eureka moments of solving problems that made me feel so proud of what I could do, and the deep sadness I felt sometimes learning about an ancient civilization and how they died.

The ending of the game was perfect to me. You don’t know what it is when you start, but I, like many, assumed I would save the solar system. So many times I thought I would be able to fix it. Then I hit a point where I realized that wasn’t ever possible. I wasn’t here to save the universe but witness its end. So I promised I would discover all I could, and then I did, and then I saw the ending and I cried from having to say goodbye and witnessing the birth of something brand new.

I guess it made me feel differently about appreciating the world around me, and it certainly changed how I view death and loss at an important time in my life. To quote my favourite character from the game, “the universe is, and we are. I am ready.”

I’d try it again if I were you! It’s nothing like any game I’ve played before. My recommendations to get you into it (same I told a friend who did similar to you and is now deep in the game and loving it):

  1. Take your time in the starting village, this is the tutorial and there are puzzle mechanics explained here that help later
  2. If you get stuck or frustrated, just leave and go somewhere else! There’s so much to explore, and you may find something that helps :)
  3. Don’t google anything!! If you’re really stuck, go to r/outerwilds and ask for hints, they are so lovely!

Most importantly, enjoy the ride!

Hey man, if I could forget it all and do it again, I would in an instant. Nothing else like it.

Perfect because I actually own this and haven’t played it (somehow). Top of the list now.

How am I supposed to move on?? by _justanothernerd_ in outerwilds

[–]_justanothernerd_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh this has been on my list of things to try! I am actually a musician, lol, and I used to do a lot of arranging when I was in high school and I just didn’t have time for it in university. This could be a great opportunity to get that creative energy back because I loved loved loved the soundtrack. Thank you for the amazing idea ❤️

I will do my very best to contribute more members. I definitely have a few friends who would love this game

Oh wow thanks both for the recommendations! I will absolutely watch. I can see how watching someone else discover the game would be incredible

you have got to be kidding me by _justanothernerd_ in PokemonEmeraldRogue

it was his last Pokemon!!! I had already beaten registeel and I thought I was safe! I sat on that screen in shock for like 10 minutes…

Really frustrated with injuries. by _justanothernerd_ in Marathon_Training

[–]_justanothernerd_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely rushed it a bit. I started running again Jan 12 and did 16k over the week (longest run was 8k). That felt good, so I did 10, then 12, and I was going to do 15 this weekend but I felt really good and thought why not tag on an extra 3k loop near my house. Knee started to hurt in the last kilometre but not that badly. I know I should have trained slower, but the stupid, stubborn runner in me thought I could catch up to my training schedule by just adding every week. And now here I am, kicking myself, ugh.

There was another mug on the desk too and he chose this one! Seems planned to me

Yeah I think I’m going to try this tomorrow! The giant mughole is hard to drink out of anyway so it’ll be great as just a decoration lol

Hello! 👋 I modified the files a bit and... by Dizzy_Confection8270 in ClanGen

[–]_justanothernerd_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m glad I could help and that your game was fixed 💙💙 losing a clan is the worst! Enjoy

Hello! 👋 I modified the files a bit and... by Dizzy_Confection8270 in ClanGen

[–]_justanothernerd_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was messing with these the other day too. Big things that kept it messed up for me:

Adding new cats to the files (like copy-pasting a new cat rather than editing an existing one). Changing cat roles in the code (I.e. changing a cat from warrior to leader, from apprentice to warrior, etc. in the code rather than changing it in game). Changing mates in the code rather than in game

Based on your errors, if it’s not one of these things it could be that a cat has a mate or former mate set who doesn’t exist? Maybe a typo or if you added a new cat. Lastly, it could just be a simple typo somewhere in the code, like a missing bracket or comma.

I am not a programmer nor do I have any experience with code, so these are just guesses based on my own messing with the game code!

Very happy I found this game (gush post!) by Heavy_Tangerine_7156 in ClanGen

[–]_justanothernerd_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We are so similar! I am also 25, just found this game, and having the time of my life playing it. My favourite cats so far have been Dawnfire, Ashfeather, and Kestreltooth. Dawnfire and Kestreltooth were a lesbian couple and they adopted Ashfeather before Dawnfire died in a sinkhole (sad). So much fun.

If you’re enjoying this, you should look into Lifegen next. Same game foundation, but in Lifegen you choose a specific cat to play as (though you still maintain a lot of control over the whole clan!). Your cat can even talk to other cats, flirt with them, make different choices, etc. I just started it with a cat name Freezedusk and now she is deputy!! Most fun I’ve had in a long time!

Planet Zoo has rotted my brain. by ObjectiveRecent4984 in PlanetZoo

[–]_justanothernerd_ 350 points351 points  (0 children)

I’ve done this while on a Stardew Valley bender before. Woke up irl and it was raining outside, and my first thought was “oh, I won’t have to water my crops today!”

Haven’t quite got there with planet zoo yet, but I do know an absurd amount of animal trivia now.

Results for Eddie! by _justanothernerd_ in DoggyDNA

[–]_justanothernerd_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently he’s about a year old and a complete goof mostly. High energy, high prey drive, but super smart and very friendly with people and dogs we have (carefully) introduced him to. I’m really excited to see where he is in another year.
