1.)friday
2.)outer wilds
3.)birthday
Friday is always a top 5
everyone say "happy birthday oliver" happy birthday oliver
happy birthday oliver
Exit womb Oliver
not quite but you've got the spirit@@Shaeffen_
Happy birthday!! 🥳
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR LIVER !! !!!!
You did it, you mad lad!!!!
additionally it is very strange to see a body mimicking the voice of Oliver!
My current theory is this is the work of an advanced neural network processing the voice of oliver and spitting this out. Very impressive, however i am not so easily fooled!
Nah, I’m a fan of the evil twin theory
I had the same feeling! Like, there's this familiar voice but a totally unfamiliar face. Like... Why did Oliver dub this man's vlog?
Yeah I always expect a different face from the voice alone compared to the actual face
It's gotta be demon
An insight into the life of Outer Wilds' best player
Ever since that Outer Wilds playthrough, I was hooked to the way you play games. You allow them to take their space, you take time to understand what they want from a player with all your theory-crafting and on top of that you're also just a really good gamer!
I'm sure to watch whatever you will be doing next!
Those are my exact thoughts!! No matter how long it takes, we'll be here waiting for you to play our favorite game, Oliver!
"I love induction."
This man is too freakin' cute.
The lack of a Nomai table in your apartment is concerning. Have you been lying to us all this time?
Oh man I remember it now. Where is the table a liver?
and he didnt have microwaved potatoes for breakfast
@@SystemBD I can't believe I wasn't the only one looking for it 😂👀
"Spectroscopic analysis is the tits!" - Oliver (Subnautica #6)
Happy birthday and thank you for the endless hours of entertainment! I never used to watch Let's Plays that much, but ever since I found your channel, I've been hooked.
Hey Xaph! Thanks for the kind words and the donation. It is my absolute pleasure! Have a great day!🤩
Oliver looks at a galaxy: "What's this? .... Diorite!"
oh you made me laugh so hard :'D
lmao
it is certainly interesting to hear about the intricacies of astrophysics, would love to hear more about it if you ever have time in the day!
I'd just watched your OW playthrough a couple weeks ago, played it years ago myself and suddenly got the urge to "replay" it vicariously. I loved your analytical and insightful commentary. And here I am looking forward to spending more time on this channel. Cheers and happy birthday!
This is one piece of a perfection. This is EXACTLY how I had expected you to make it. The music choice, the camera work, your way of talking etc everything is PERFECT. It has similar vibes to the self awareness videos you did long ago which I absolutely adored! In a nutshell, you made the vlog perfectly Oliver. It couldn't have been any better! Expecting more vlogs in the future
THIS IS SO COOL
Oliver you've got such a charming personality you're probably the first person I want to watch a vlog of, also your job is genuinely fascinating imo. Astrophysics is cool af!
Edit:
ALSO HAPPY BIRTHDAY + OUTER WILDS PLAYTHRU ANNIVERSARY
What a cursed way to brew coffee. I'm here with my aeropress and cheapo hand grinder, paying an arm and a leg for specialty beans, pretending to taste those grapefruit notes...
Actually, instant coffee might be fine.
6:50 -- for your models with black holes, do you have a way to simulate what would happen if you were to... plug the hole?
My most anticipated video yet. Much love to you Oliver (You've heavily inspired me to follow my love for theoretical physics ❤)
Wow, I am amazed Oliver found the way back to his work and back home again; that's a feat he did not always manage! :p
Happy birthday, Oliver!!!
Yes! Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday Oliver! Absolutely loved every series you've done so far, especially Outer Wilds and Rain World.
Glad you enjoy the series! 😊
I'm so jealous of how bike and pedestrian friendly it is there!
Happy birthday, Oliver, and thank you. I think your Outer Wilds playthrough finally put my crippling Outer Wilds playthrough addiction to rest, it was that final good hit that I needed. Your other let's plays have been so uniquely delightful as well, you appreciate so many things about the games I like that most people never talk about. Your explanation of the science you do was great. Just keep being yourself!
Happy birthday, Oliver. I hope you have a good one.
As a PhD student myself, your routine is very relatable.
Your job sounds like a dream !
I know how to code in python and C, I love space and I always want to know more about it, about physics and how the universe work. But I'm bad at math... That's why I just learn programming to code and not physics to study space.
Great vlog by the way ! I love the way you drink coffee, then you think about outer wild and THEN you work.
you sound exactly like me! synchronicites of the universe!
love the minecraft series, just watching through it all now
Thank you for a year of great, funny, entertaining, and comforting videos. Here's to many more!
That was one year already? Wow. Time flies.. Cheers and Happy birthday Oliver!
Happy birthday Oliver!
I can relate on so many things as a planetology student.
I'm mostly shocked to learn Oliver lied to us during so much time... With his low, powerful voice, I always thought he was a great astrophysicist, a professor with hundreds of students...
He's actually a PhD student.
It gives hope for me to find one I suppose...
Thanks Oliver for this interesting, informing and really fun video.
Wow this video just made you so much more sympathetic. Im studying computer science right now, but my heart belongs to space currently. Hearing you talk about this being your job is the coolest thing ever. Hoping one day I have enough experience to take a step in this direction :)
Hello from a fellow physicist in Lund, just on the other side of the border! Happy birthday and have a great weekend!
Happy Birthday Oliver. 🎉🎉
Thank you!!!
Tillykke med føzdagen, Ollie!🥳🎉
It still feels like yesterday when you said that this whole playing games for RUclips was a one-off thing. Since then, you've just been showering us with such novel perspectives on some of the best games gaming has to offer! I'm so glad we coerced you to keep going! We couldn't let such a silly damp unge get away without entertaining us some more ;)
Kærlig hilsen fra Færøerne
Happy birthday Oliver!!
Hope you had a special day!
Keep the vlogs coming. You're a natural. And it's amazing to see what you do!!
Happy Birthday, this video was an absolute delight, you’re very good on camera and I hope to see more of these :)
So happy you liked it. I was a bit anxious putting my life out there like that, but it's just nerves I guess!😅
You undersell yourself - your video shooting and editing are top notch. I can't believe you made this in just one day in such a high quality.
Happy birthday, Oliver! I've been such a fan ever since I discovered your Outer Wilds playthrough and am so happy to see you and what you do when you aren't gaming, it's very interesting! It's great to put a face (and a very handsome one, might I add; though I don't want that to come across as weird) to the voice now! Thank you for this video and I'm looking forward to exploring more of your content in the future!
Happy birthday A liver!
Happy Birthday from Canada Oliver!🎉
You have one of those voices that could easily be picked out from a million people. Thanks for a peek into your day to day. Also happy fuckin birthday duders, here's to another year closer to the death of our own sun!
Happy birthday!(Happy birthday)
Aw man, this was so cool to see! I spent a year working at the Johannes Kepler University in Linz Austria, and the whole vibe, architecture, and atmosphere of your university gives me such nostalgia. I miss Europe, and hope to come back again one day. Here's to another great year for the channel, with more southern observatories, more diorite, more bottomless swamps, and more cans of coke!
Yoo!!! I also work on AGN/galaxy SED modeling! Here’s to Astro 🍻
Happy birthday! I found the explanation of your work at 6:00 really entertaining. This was a really cool vlog!
Happy Birthday! 🥳
Friendly advice: you might want to censor the names on the sign.
Typing this into google reveals a lot of information including your phone number.
I'm sure nobody in this current community has any mal intent but you never know how large your viewership may grow.
This was absolutely amazing! Keep being you Oliver, you’re awesome! And happy birthday!
We're birthday twins!
It's so strange to see the voice I've listened to for hours coming out of an actual face but so fun.
HELL YEAH FINALLY. THANK YOU OLIVER
Happy birthday man, hope you had great day! This is really well edited for such a short time after recording it.
"Cold as hell" damn that's pretty cold alright
Happy birthday btw
Happy Birthday Oliver🫡
Discovered this channel through your Outer Wilds walk through and I've been watching ever since.
Wishing you the best in your endeavours!
I like to imagine that the camera, us, is actually a little Mark, that just follows you around.
I'm really happy I looked through your "Random" playlist and found this. I drink instant coffee before work too, but damn you're hardcore. Two spoons of coffee and no sugar, no milk? Very demon. Happy birthday for 5 months ago. Also I like your glasses, they really suit you. Thanks for the video, keep up your great work.
Happy birthday oliver, you're genuinely one of a kind lp'ers, keep doing the amazing work, hope you have a great day 🎉🎉🎉
Happy birthday, your Outer Wilds playthrough is the best I've ever watched.
Me: Enjoying the best vlog I've seen in a long time.
Oliver: "I make terrible vlogs."
I loved the science breakdown
Happy birthday Oliver! This was such an interesting video, loved it.
Omg happy birthday!!
OLIVER VLOG LESGOOO!!
Happy one year since the start of Outer Wilds...
and less important Happy Birthday
This was so great! Happy birthday Oliver! :)
Happy birthday Oliver, you’ve been a great source of joy in my life this year, I hope to follow your channel for many more years to come, you’re a comforting wonderful person!! Your content and personality are wonderful!!! Have a good day Oliver
Happy Birthday gamer boy!!!
Props to you man. Your Outer Wilds playthrough was legendary, and I am working through the Hollow Knight playthrough and it has been a great journey! Cheers from Norway
Happy Birthday, Oliver! You're amazing!
Happy Birthday Oliver!
It was interesting to see what a day in your life looks like. I've wanted to be an astrophysicist for as quite some time now, but I've never actually seen what the work looks like. Thank you for posting this.
Very cool to see you. I loved your outer wilds playthrough!
Now i want face cam for future plays of rain world :D
EDIT: Damn oliver gives good gaming-friend vibes.
I think you have a good personality to be a youtuber!
Also, I'm watching your OW playthrough right now! I'm at the DLC!
this was really interesting and relaxing, glad you decided to go through with the vlog request! cheers from canada oliver 😁
hey Oliver, nice to have a face for the voice! :D been watching you since Outer Wilds. I'm doing astrophysics myself, more on the observational and galactic star formation side, but my days are also just...coding and reading, most of the time. but cool office space! and happy birthday!
Thanks Oliver! Yes, loved that Outer Wilds series. Hope you had an excellent birthday.
One takeaway: 3:25 Biking to work = healthy lifestyle.
currently aiming for a masters in physics and astronomy so to have one of my favorite youtubers do this is amazing
also happy birthday!
Happy Birthday Oliver. Looking forward to seeing your channel continue to grow! Whatever kind of videos you enjoy making i am sure we will love to enjoy watching. Vlogs, analysis, black hole stuff, or just video games. ::)
Awesome to see a day in the life of Oliver!! Studying galaxies with galaxies with black holes at the center seems really cool even if a lot of it is computer simulations! Also hell yeah bagel supremacy!
And Happy Birthday!!!
Happy birthday! You’re a lot less awkward in front of a camera than a lot of voice over RUclipsrs!
Happy birthday man. Don't let the PhD life drag you down. Keep on keepin' on and you'll get there. In the meantime, there's video games! :D
It feels so weird seeing a face speaking in your voice. Always imagined you as just the disembodied voice
This is still very cool! Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday Oliver! The quest to refine our knowledge of black holes and AGN is awesome. Black holes have been a fascination of mine since I was a kid. I must to know more :)
Thanks for showing us around. The University of Copenhagen is beautiful.
BABE WAKE UP, NEW OLIVER VLOG JUST DROPPED 🔥
Happy birthday Oliver! It's funny how it was on your birthday that we got gifted the best Outer Wilds playthrough there ever was!
I've been telling my friends mustache is a sign of culture. A fellow man of culture I see! Happy birthday!
And this is why I didn't go to grad school. That seems so boring to me. It's awesome that there are people like you in the world.
As a Swede, I will most definitely judge you for not having a coffee machine! För helvete! Or rather “fo helvede” 😁 Happy birthday, Oliver 🥳
Loving these videos!!
I'm finishing my degree in astrophyisics soon and i'm looking forward to working with AGN's too:))
Its so weird to see that you go into that bagel shop, i lived in the building in front of it for 3 years! Those bagels rock!
Oh how I wish I could get to work by bike in America. Your town looks so lovely.
Also, I am a bagel addict. That bagel place looked great.
Happy birthday, Oliver!
Amazing production! You even hired someone to film you while making coffee
Happy Birthday!!
More vlogs would be fun to watch!
Belated Happy birthday you blood drunk demon! Loved everything youve done this past year and youve quickly become my favourite youtuber :D Loved listening to you talk a bit of shop at work, super facinating stuff!
also, was that a Netto? I had no idea they existed outside of the UK in the 90s
sir this is the 1st video of yours that I'm watching rn while searching for "life of an astrophysicist" Since I want to become an astrophysicist, the first thing felt was that yeah he is the type of human being I like on earth... secondly when you entered your office ....I felt like "Oh I wish that he was my physics tutor" 😌💜
you're truly my favorite youtuber !
Loved this content. Been following since Outer Wilds playthrough and this was awesome to watch :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! it's always strange to put a face to a disembodied familiar voice. I thoroughly enjoyed this vlog, it's so you. I could listen to you talk about your job for hours, no lie. You're so good at simplifying your work. :)
No comments to read while I watch :(
But anyway, great editing, camerawork, and explanations!!
Happy birthday! Damm that is a nice looking house btw, and also real good vlog, I would definitely love to see more
Happy Birthday, Oliver! It's nice to see what you do during the day, and I'm a total science nerd so I, at least, found it interesting. I'm also learning Python and use VS Code a lot, so I felt sort of a bond with you. One question though: Why are the signs in the coffee area at work in...English? I saw "Water in here" and one other I didn't catch but I'm pretty sure it wasn't Dansk.
Given the surprising revelations we keep getting from JWST, does it ever feel like you're searching for a moving target? I mean, if dark matter is physically real, wouldn't that imply you need to fit to a completely different model?
Happy birthday,
honestly i had to listen to the words thrice before i unheard:
"Its just gonna be me, sitting at a desk, coping."
Cause thats just what a lot of phd students at our field were doing most of the time :D
Happy birthday oliver, I'm so glad i found your channel in time
