You missed one easter egg with this update and the banana scroll If you take it to the ATP and send yourself back in time at the end of the loop while holding the banana, the next loop if you visit Self in the ATP beside them will be the Banana scroll with the banana turned into jelly. Another reference to Stienz;gate that I absolutely love Thank you Outer Wilds for being a masterpiece

[@PixelOverload]

Lol, that's extra funny 'cause it implies the guy in SG was wrong to assume he can't use this method to send back material objects 'cause his banana test turned to jelly, apparently that only happens to bananas 😂

[@zachbowles4516]

​@@PixelOverload which would be hilarious canon, but sadly the anime explains that the people sent back in time by SERN were also turned into goo

[@WackoMcGoose]

@@zachbowles4516 Maybe it's only _Terran_ matter that turns into goo, while Hearthian (and presumably Nomaian) matter can travel intact? Also: "I have done nothing but teleport bread for three days."

[@eakmadashma]

big head owlk is actually nightmare fuel

[@solalabell9674]

Regular owlk is nightmare fuel this is sleep paralysis demon

[@AmaiarAiramand]

I commented this in another video, but in Steins:Gate they also use a black hole to send the messages/signals through time, so it's a neat comparison with Outer Wilds. The banana is the first object they try to send back in time using the black hole (via a modified microwave) and it came back as a gooey jelly, proving that physical matter cannot safely travel back in time (at least with their current technology). Thus they decide to send something inmaterial, like phone signals, messages that can alter a person's understanding and thus their actions, in a butterfly effect that affects the rest of the timeline. Eventually, they even manage to send an entire being's memories as these signals through time, which is the most direct comparison with Outer Wilds. The orange numbers in the apparatus (in Outer Wilds numbering your loops) is part of another machine that is used in Steins:Gate to detect which worldline (AKA, another sort of timeline) the MC is "currently" at. Whenever he sends his memories back in time, and depending on what has changed compared to the original worldline, the numbers are different. The main objective of the series becomes to reach a specific number, which would mean they've completely changed worldlines (again, think of those as clusters of timelines). "El Psy Congroo" is a silly secret code the MC from Steins:Gate uses at the end of some dialogues for reasons that would be lengthy and spoilery to explain in detail. The only thing you need to know is that he has the Eighth Grade Syndrome (or Chuunibyou) and acts as if an evil organization is tracking his communications. All in all, the Easter Egg is very well done and they chose a great story to make the comparison. I definitely recommend anyone that likes Outer Wilds to go and watch the anime, believe me that I haven't really spoiled much, most of what I said can be seen either in the trailer or in the first episodes.

[@TonkarzOfSolSystem]

The orange numbers are a type of number display called a "nixie tube". It's one of the many technologies used to display information from a device prior the to invention of CRT monitors and LCD displays.

[@TheAechBomb]

​@@TonkarzOfSolSystemI swear Steins;Gate single-handedly revived nixie tubes

[@rattmanthestupid]

@@TheAechBomb nixie tubes are dope looking so I'm glad steins;gate revived them.

[@wodo4742]

Thank you for the thorough explanation.

[@gaembreaker8887]

This research was supposed to be done by someone making the video btw

[@its_lb]

The shape of the writing is a reference to the Lab Member Badge from the anime, and also, the banana is a reference to the first experiment with the time traveling microwave. As a fan of Steins;Gate I was so happy to see it! El Psy Kongroo

[@TheLoreExplorer]

Oh , that’s cool! I didn’t know that! Looks sort of like a solar system. Thanks for letting me know!

[@SuperTux20]

A big-head easter egg is always a classic

[@dan202v9]

Tunic has one too

[@bluetima]

I think the banana is the firt thing that they used to do an experiment in steins gate, they it in a modified microwave and it came out like a green jelly

[@bluetima]

El psy Congroo is also a code to end a message in steins gate (which is mostly just a silly catchfrase)

[@ymndoseijin]

and also the shape of the scrolls aren't shaped like a solar system, but rather is the mirai gadget badge logo

[@Mr_Spaghetti]

When the Owlk’s head started coming through the shadows I thought it was its neck and they got taller, actually kinda scared me when I realized it was just the center of his face! Anyways, great vid, glad to see a new one!

[@StevenMcSteve]

Definitely recommend steins gate to any outer wilds fan whether you normally watch anime or not, it even has a visual novel game if you'd rather play through it, it's such a good story

[@SpringySpring04]

The Outer Wilds developers have AMAZING taste for putting a Steins;Gate reference in the game

[@hunterxhunter7174]

this reference to steins gate is absolutely awesome

[@cakewithbeans245]

The way i JUMPED on the notif !!!

[@adenperkins9719]

SAME!!

[@cbandit7715]

So good to watch a video of you again!

[@TheLoreExplorer]

More to come!

[@kr_ykoo]

seeing Esker have literal drugged up space marshmallows in his supply closet is hilarious to me. of all people I'd expect Gabbro or Feldspar, not Esker 😂

[@sal_8]

I feel like you are the accurate characteer. Only in the loop, exploring what happen, forever I guess

[@Dudewheresmycarnivore]

These are like N64 golden eye Easter eggs, and I love it.

[@philxbefore9]

Classic DK Mode. I guess these kids don't get it.

[@chrisprilloisebola]

in the show, memories are also sent back in time. I thought of steins gate when I first played this game

[@rattmanthestupid]

Great seeing a new video from you. You're one of the main reasons I made my first video on my channel. I wish you luck going forward.

[@WackoMcGoose]

The can of marshmallows is _bulging,_ which usually means food's gone rotten (as the discolored marshmallow is clear proof of). Esker was just too busy whistling to notice you were eating their _really really old_ supplies...

[@SnackCakes]

Dude! Omg it's so awesome to hear your voice

[@TheLoreExplorer]

Glad you think so!

[@SnackCakes]

@@TheLoreExplorer No joke, you're one of my favorite youtubers. You're a genuinely nice guy and passionate. That makes you S tier for me.

[@Stinkuh69]

This is hilarious haha I hadnt played OW in almost an entire year until last night when i showed a friend and the next morning i get a Lore Explorer notification :)

[@SangheiliSpecOp]

I won't lie, I was waiting to see the owlks and 3:09 still spooked me lol

[@Khepri07]

I didn’t realise they still updated

[@Lucy-dg9en]

The universe is a cruel and indifferent place *Lore explorer uploads* Omg lore explorer

[@TheLoreExplorer]

The universe has your back!

[@r.a.was.here15]

i love your voice and your demeanor. i also LOVE outer wilds so very happy to see this video!

[@TheLoreExplorer]

Thank you so much!

[@titadogelo5090]

Glad to see you again!

[@SangheiliSpecOp]

I missed you man. I love your passion and vids for outer wilds!

[@TheLoreExplorer]

I appreciate that! Glad you like them!

[@mr.peewee7261]

Awesome vid dude, glad to see you back

[@TheLoreExplorer]

Hey, thanks!

[@littlemetalpixie]

Happy to see a new video from you. ❤ That banana is ridiculous...

[@chekote]

Welcome back, Mr Lore!

[@bananaguy6314]

Always fun to meet the lore explorer 😎

[@stelpirt3]

Welcome back Lore Explorer!! ❤

[@TheLoreExplorer]

Thank you! 😄

[@Yuti640]

This is the lore explorer!

[@ReavoEnd]

Thank you! I wonder if The Lore Exporer will play Astral Codec sometime. It's a story mod that one of the devs called out during this year's SGDQ. Would love to see what he thinks of it!

[@LordZipThe3rd]

HE IS BACK!

[@derps1230]

I saw lore explorer and clicked immediately

[@petebop]

BIG HEAD?! Dang, looking back, seemed like every N64 and PS1 game had a big head cheat lol Glad to see a large nod to a classic meme ;;)

[@inigobaro4721]

Have you tried Chants of Sennaar? It has real Outer Wilds Vibes

[@coinckwac120]

The king is back!!!!

[@DrBlort]

Cool easter eggs! Have you checked the Hatchling's version from the other loop inside the Ash Twin project for a big head version?

[@TheLoreExplorer]

ooooooh! I have not. Good idea

[@joejester61105]

Isn't it obvious! Its reminding us to take our potassium supplements, K? 🤣

[@kevinnuneznoriega8965]

Great easter egg. I´ve been promising myself not to watch more content about outer wilds, trying to forget enough to replay it one more time. But this time it´s been worth to break my promise.

[@TheLoreExplorer]

Agreed! Super cool! And both Easter eggs sort of have more to them that I didn’t show as well! Nothing crazy but neat things that might be cool for you to find!

[@MinkuMilo]

HES BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK

[@PaperWill]

Eyyyy! New video!

[@pancho7776]

He’s back!

[@Atte_Rios]

Reading the coments it's way too fun, i don't even watch anime, but i might do it just for Outer Wilds

[@StevenMcSteve]

Definitely do, alternatively steins gate has a few visual novels that the anime is based on if you'd rather experience it that way, either way it's an amazing show/game

[@jan_Sanku]

i watched SG because of this, it"s pretty good

[@TimothyFrese]

Thanks for uploading!

[@alexandergreen5292]

Oh my goiky your back

[@hugoheintz]

Welcome back :)

[@Illuminati_HD]

If you send the banana back in time through a black hole (at least the one in the ash twin project) the banana becomes all green and jelly like

[@john190m]

HE'S BACK

[@0HHC]

I guess someone has to watch Steins Gate next

[@ToedCobra33]

Welcome back

[@critter77453]

I missed this so much 😢

[@strangeanimations2518]

I remember both these easter eggs being a thing for a while, no?

[@terofale733]

We're so back

[@magma_fire_bagwan]

HES BAAAAAAACK

[@judethedude96]

I wonder if Self has a huge head too

[@TheLoreExplorer]

Indeed they do! Try bringing the steins gate scroll through the atp as well!

[@NeroZashi]

The first time i ever saw big head in a game was 007 on the N64 Lol 👍

[@TheLoreExplorer]

Right? Classic Easter egg

[@ShuShuOD]

i was gonna say it seemed kinda similar to steins gate. i just recently watched it

[@hisroyalbonkess]

I'll have to see if they fixed the save issue on PS4!!!

[@craftygamer.]

HEEEEEEEEES BACK!!!!

[@SergioSergio12345]

It's been 8 months...

[@SnackCakes]

You forgot a major character with the big head glitch! After watching your video I got to thinking and sure enough, it worked. Let me know if you want a hint

[@TheLoreExplorer]

Shucks. I used mods to check the pc and they didnt have the big noggin. I didnt think self would have one either. Dont they have a line about not letting their piloting skills get to their head? lol

[@SnackCakes]

@@TheLoreExplorer A friend and I suspected they couldn't for the actual self cause of camera placement, but then I was like "What about my other self...?" Lol

[@aligaming7575]

I MISSED YOU

[@UncleAhmaz]

U need, um, u need to see a otolaryngologist

[@dighad3824]

what are the chances, i finished replaying outer wilds like 2 weeks ago😂

[@M_Julian_TSP]

You upload a video, I'm back. Simple

[@TheLoreExplorer]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@julian1000]

Anyone know if this update made performance on the Switch any better?

[@TheLoreExplorer]

From the update notes. "Today’s patch on Nintendo Switch brings a lot of fixes to visuals across the game, some performance improvements, fixes some community reported bugs, and adds some features found in Patch 15 on other platforms. This is our last major patch planned for Nintendo Switch. "

[@GrandNoble]

Hey guys

[@fanfoire]

Good video, thanks! Where are you from? Your accent makes you sound like you have a running nose all the time

[@TheLoreExplorer]

Pennsylvania. Just outside Pittsburgh

[@chrisprilloisebola]
