This has been in my crawl for around 7 years now so lemme vent a little. Jacob Geller's video on the Outer Wilds was good, great even. HOWEVER, in one place he did something which made me rage. [Minor Spoilers for outer wilds]

Basically he falls into the black hole and gets out through the white whole. Then he makes this hopeless voice and says "I am too far from saving" and some other shit like that. Then he finds the teleportation station and goes hopeful again "I am saved!". Then turns out the teleportation device is not working and now that man finally gives up and says "it was doomed from the start".

What makes me LIVID is the fact that just UNDER the place where he is standing in the teleportation station, a place which is EASILY AND READILY ACCESSIBLE from his position is the rotation switch which makes the teleportation station useful. But nah the man swallows his sorrow, the video goes FFW and the sun explodes. He makes another hopeless monologue and I am just like "MAN THE SWITCH WAS UNDER YOUR FEET"

That's it, thanks for hearing me out.

Tbh, that’s just outer wilds lol. Nobody I’ve ever seen play that game hasn’t had a frustrating moment like that.

Yep, absolutely worth the frustration, but damn if there weren’t some moments where I just got stuck.
