Intentionally Breaking the Entire Simulation - IsNotRetro's Echoes of the Eye Supercut

[@olabola2003]

i like how he deduces the eye church was burned down from the galvanization of the steel in the symbol lol and not the burned wooden structure around him

[@BigYabai]

well, granted that past a certain point of degredation it's hard to tell apart a burned building from a rotten one

[@cal5365]

Little John built the church out of galvanised eye of the universe Square Steel and bolts borrowed from his Nomai Aunt

I love the moments in eelis supercuts where a rather unremarkable moment for the player of dropping the artifact is included, just because you know the viewer is on edge wondering if they’re gonna walk far enough away

[@leandervandegriend2347]

eelis supercuts are elite and this one is at the top for me this dude understood shit so quick

[@Deadgye]

He noticed he was about to enter from the opposite side on his second trip before even entering!? This guy has expertise in perception.

[@sigismasigisma]

he really fucking does!

[@Schnabetier]

IsNotRetro might be my favorite person playing these games, I didn't even know they existed until the supercuts, but they have just the right combination of theorizing, noticing small details, being methodical in their approach and a soothing voice. Even the theories that end up being wrong (like the plant based species) end up being interesting because they have clues hinting at them. Genuinely feels like a new playthough in a way to watch these.

[@Imperial_Squid]

Right? All the observational skills and theorising of AboutOliver combined with the empathy and engagement with the narrative of BeccaBytes, IsNotRetro has immediately become one of my favourite travellers and I'm so glad I got to see his journey

[@mr.yuriinspector347]

Couldn’t agree more it’s a treat for the mind

[@BananaWasTaken]

1:33:45 I’ve never seen anyone else recognise that it’s Feldspar based on the ship! I’ve seen some not realise until it cuts to the museum, and I’ve seen some realise upon seeing Feldspar in the suit, but I’ve never seen anyone figure it out based on the ship alone.

[@BananaWasTaken]

On the first loop he already noticed the detail about the jetpack fuel being found in the churches because they used it for flamethrowers. This is definitely gonna be a good playthrough.

huh, thats basically one of the most obvious things you could have taken as an example

[@RevenantMain1]

Years later I never realised that

[@Sef_Era]

I’ve never seen anyone who wasn’t a speedrunner notice it, but that thing in the sky in the simulation was his ship; the game doesn’t remove it, and speedrunners use it to get the suit back, in the sim.

Wait, how the hell they get into it?

​@KitsuneMasku very, very carefully position it outside the Stranger where the dream world loads in, then let gravity do its thing once the dream world is loaded.

[@Sef_Era]

If you want to watch the devs comment on it, they did so for a GDQ a year or so ago, that I quite enjoyed. And also, IGN does a ‘devs react to speedruns’ series, as well.

[@virtual_bomber5698]

Man I saw this thing when I revisited the game a few months ago and I was like what the frick is that? Awesome that this has a reasonable explanation.

[@KabraxisOblivion]

10:40 the comedic timing of him looking up before getting crushed was just perfect

[@alemefu]

Obsessed with the fact that in the ow play through by sheer coincidence retro kind of had a similar arch as the owlks about the eye, like in the base game he was convinced that the eye was a bad thing that destroyed the universe until eventually he learnt the eye was neutral and also what allowed a beautiful new universe to be born, and the owlks as well thought the eye was scary and dangerous until the prisoner realized it just was, and what came after would be beautiful

[@Schnabetier]

Gotta love how everyone playing this DLC is afraid of the owlfolk and here I was conditioned by the base game to think "aliens are nice" instantly running towards the first owlfolk I found in the dream (in the mangrove forest) to greet them only to get a nasty surprise...

[@ASingingChemist]

I think it's cause of the reduced frights warning. I reckon if the popup didn't happen, people would be much less scared initially of the owlks.

[@DragonaxFilms]

I barged in and shouted "DO YOU GUYS KNOW WHERE THE DENNYS IS?" then proceeded to panic when I realized the door closed behind me xD

Fellow friend enjoyer!

1:18:50 what in all of the outer wilds are the odds that he would find his own ship orbiting the stranger while in the simulation God I love Retro’s play through. Such an observant and curious player

Eelis. Please. Spare me. It's 2am. I wanted to go to sleep because I have a cold. And yet you tempt me with a supercut of Retro playing OW DLC. I am but a simpleton; you show me OW supercut, I watch it

The scene's whole impact depends on that little detail, and somehow EVERY lp i've ever seen has missed it entirely Honestly, this might be my favorite let's play of it i've ever seen. Dude notices every detail, thinks about the implications logically, and gets hit with all the big emotional moments in the best ways. So... cathartic, haha

I must have missed it when I was doing other things, any chance you have the time stamp or somewhere about where he noticed blowing the candles causing the pictures thing?

I hadn't considered doing that during the supernova... its depressing

[@Watsuda]

It kinda reminds me of that one Austrian song about three brothers getting hanged, and they're all singing the lord's prayer in unison at the end as they're at the gallows (or I think it's supposed to be the lord's prayer - you can't really understand them because their dad shot their tongues out), and then you hear one of them being dropped down and hanged and only two voices remain, then only one, and then it's just the instrumentals. Good old Austrian music!

[@SangheiliSpecOp]

​@@Watsuda there is a brazilliansong where a band is dying, one by one, and the music loses that player's instrument. But it's played out humorously

28:00 I always wondered if some species out there sent the Interloper. It couldn't have been the Owliks but it might have been someone else with similar motives of preventing anything from getting to the eye. It seems like a perfect solution. Send an anti life bomb to the solar system where the eye is and make sure no living creature can reach the eye.

[@The_TinesJathian]

I think theres a couple mods that have tried to answer that question. Personally, I sorta like the idea that ghost matter is totally natural.
