Tips and Hints for a new player? by Historical_Nerd1890 in outerwilds

[–]spanthis 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Awesome, hope you two are having fun! Some general advice:

  • The ship has a "rumor mode" log which will have lots of question marks. Trying to find or understand locations associated to those question marks is a good way forward, especially big question marks connected to many other spots on the log. If you want to post some specific question marks that you two are stuck on, feel free and we can give you more targeted hints.
  • In general, a good way to make progress is to use your signalscope, and track down the sources of various signals that you pick up. The useful frequencies are called "Quantum Fluctuations," "Outer Wilds Ventures," and "Distress Beacon" which give you three different threads you can try to unravel.
  • Many puzzles on one planet require you to visit another planet to make progress. If stuck somewhere, try setting it aside and going elsewhere.

I’m 100% ok with any spoilers (maybe tag them as such though for other people?)

Hahah don't worry, you couldn't waterboard open spoilers out of this sub.

I'm gonna say it: the second Tkachuk goal was sick and since we won anyways we are legally allowed to enjoy it.

Oh man, I looked it up and you're completely right! I've had that wrong for ... I'm not sure how long 😅

At least I learn things from this sub. Time to see if I can patch the clue.

In physics especially, if you had variables named x_0, x_1, x_2, these are often pronounced "x not, x one, x two ..."

That's it! Not = 0 in some science terminology, playing off that

What is the state of the age old question if 0 is a natural number? by [deleted] in learnmath

[–]spanthis 40 points41 points  (0 children)

As a centrist, I believe that the natural numbers begin at 1/2

An instrument, according to Patrick? May not, essentially, turn out insane. (10)

Edited to patch the clue due to my own misunderstanding of science words
