Thinking about how Outer Wilds didn't get the attention it deserved from the public because it came out the same year as the much more well-known The Outer Worlds, which confused a lot of people (myself included). And that's really a shame because the two don't have anything in common besides being space games with similar titles. The Outer Worlds is a disappointingly-average Western RPG from the folks that made Fallout: New Vegas. Outer Wilds is an exploration-based puzzle adventure, and a once-in-a-generation classic of the medium that artists, writers, game designers, and composers will still be citing as an influence 50 years from now.

So yeah if you skipped Outer Wilds because you confused it with The Outer Worlds and thought you'd already heard of it and evaluated it or even played it, consider this your official push to go play it immediately.

@janmon @rmehner @caolan — I lent out my monitor a few months ago and then rather than driving in to the city I insisted on e-biking. I brought extra bungee cords to tie the box down securely, but the monitor hadn't been bubble-wrapped inside the box so it came out destroyed. So I guess I lose the cargo bike olympics, but I "won” a new monitor 😊

@janmon @rmehner @caolan — This is the kind of virtue signalling that I can get behind all day. Now we just need to get to 50% critical mass in our respective cities! Is there a handshake or a buzzword we can use to ensure that people seeing this thread end up realising how cool we all are? 😂

@halfbyte — That seems to be Europe-wide. When I go to Amsterdam, it feels like I'm getting a bargain with anywhere starting at €300.

@glenjamin @caolan — Pro-tip that Tern also does the "Quick Haul Long”, which is essentially a stripped down GSD, but they only stripped the luxuries and it's still an amazing bike, just without some whistles (it has a bell 😆) ... and accepts all the GSD accessories.
