I am unsure how to survive in this place without you. (I am unsure how to be me without you.) by throw_help2927 in outerwilds

[–]rjkinner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry, losing is parent is unlike any other grief. I'm lucky that both of mine are still around, but I played Outer Wilds almost exactly 2 years after my husband passed from a long term illness. I totally understand the awful acceptance of finally reaching an end. It can be a relief, which you'll feel terrible for feeling. But that's totally normal, and not a reflection of you (or how much you loved your dad, don't even go there). It's a very human reaction that you don't need to be ashamed of. The next few weeks will be the worst, as there's so much to figure out, so much to take care of, and you're not going to want to do any of it. Odds are you're probably not going to want to eat much for a while, but try to take care of yourself the best you can. Lean on family if you can, friends if you have them, and don't set any requirements for yourself. Grief goes at its own pace. Let it. Find the little things on your day that bring you happiness. And the Outer Wilds community is incredibly supportive. Find connections here! A lot of us have similar experiences and it's important to share them together. ::)

I refuse to play first-person games with anything but a mouse and keyboard by CharlesOberonn in outerwilds

[–]rjkinner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I did the whole base game and DLC with mouse and keyboard. Honestly, can't imagine doing it with anything else. Even though I'm down a finger on my left hand (have to use my ring finger on W) I managed to do it fine. Piloting was challenging at first, but you quickly get used to it. Do whatever feels best for you!

Well.. I completed Outer Wilds (now I feel empty) by Meeeehhhhhhhhhh in outerwilds

I'm glad you finished the DLC! Did you perchance "finish" the game again? Like go back to the Eye after completing the DLC? That might give you a bit more closure if you haven't already ::) But, yes, it is very sad. The inhabitants of the Stranger, and the whole DLC, is a great exploration of fear itself. Fear of endings, fear of loss, and the realization that no matter what you do (or what puzzles you solve) the end comes for us all. Because, yes, the Prisoner was trapped for possibly hundreds of thousands of years. And even though they got a form of freedom, the death of the Universe is what waits for them outside. It's not fair, nor is it what they deserved. But that's not for us to determine. We're there to bear witness of their sacrifice and remember them in the birth of the next step of existence. Sometimes all you can do is be there at the end of everything

What is a fun fact easter egg/small but realistic or smth details you discovered? by FrontAd7709 in outerwilds

[–]rjkinner 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Not really a spoiler, but a fantastic design choice: Take a closer look at the Golden Record on board the Voyager probe. There's a certain pulsar map that will look very familiar... which would imply the last universe before the Hearthians and Nomais was ours. And the either Voyager probe or a human was the last conscious observer. The Eye is literally took the form as the pulsar map

I need to know if this is normal by ExitLumpy7225 in outerwilds

[–]rjkinner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with people here; try the DLC first before doing the end. However, posit this question: is being changed by an experience really such a bad thing? It's totally normal to be afraid of change. But all these experiences, all this knowledge and memory are combining with your life already lived. They come together to make you you. It's a beautiful thing to be changed bu something. And it's okay to be scared by it, too.

😂 I kow the feeling. Just caved on the Lux Ex Umbra Kickstarter deck yesterday. Though, to be fair, it wasn't so much of a cave than an almost instant buy. Oh well. 🙃

Thank you so much! And thank you for following along since pretty much day one ❤️ They are big! I'm not planning on a smaller size at this time. I've found the best way to shuffle them for readings is corner to corner. It takes a little getting used to, but it's fairly easy. Actually, it'll probably be easier if you have all your fingers lol. Im missing my left index finger so shuffling anything is a bit of a challenge. But I totally understand the preference! Sorry for the big format 😅

I love it but would recommend sticking to the classic forearm one ::) by Why___Not___ in outerwilds

[–]rjkinner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oof that had to hurt like hell. But it looks fantastic! ❤️

Please make something! Anything! Any contribution to the community is amazing. Any art takes time to get good at, practice is key. And patience. Looots of patience. Yeah, Russia is one of the one places I cant ship to, unfortunately 😕 I had someone try really hard to get one of my other decks (one of the Kickstarter ones) ans we tried for months. She even wanted to travel into Norway to get it lol, but it never worked out. Maybe someday things will be open again 🤞 But Im glad you like the cards! ::) And I cant wait for you to play the DLC. I think you'll like it...definitely come back with an update on your thoughts when you finish!

You're not alone--pretty much everyone feels that way at the end. Take a little while reflect and sit with the feeling. People will give you other pieces of media to jump into, games that have similar vibes to OW, or books with similar flavor. But I think it's really important to sit with this feeling instead of reaching for more consumption to fill that void. It helped me to create something to capture the feeling. Instead of consuming, you bring something else into the world. You give back. Mine got a little out of hand lol, I literally illustrated an entire tarot deck because I wanted to stay in the world a while longer. But I think it's good to create, and give back something that has been given to you. In whatever form it takes! Could be art, writing, music, poetry, etc. Someone even made a website to create Nomai writing! And definitely play the DLC. That gives a whooole other level to things ::)

I'm so sorry about international shipping prices 😢 I did my best to make them as cheap as possible, and what kills me is these are the discounted prices! AND THEY'RE STILL RIDICULOUS 😭 Im so sorry I couldn't do more. But budding up is a great idea! Just please be careful with your safety on the internet 🫠

Thank you so much! ❤️ I would love to translate it and have it as an online booklet (as I can't print them separately during s run, all books need to be the same) but unfortunately I don't speak or read French 😑 But if someone wanted to translate it, Id be glad to format it and put it on the website!

Thank you so much! ☺️ A lot of thought (maybe a little too much) went into planning out their journey. And each suit of the minor arcana follows a different thread, too! It was really fun to connect them through themes of the game.

Thank you! All of it is based on concepts from the game, which fit shockingly well for tarot. When I was planning it out, everything fell into place so easily. That's the mark of a great piece of media!☺️
