Outer Wilds Speedrun - Destroy SpaceTime (Suitless) in

It's about time I tried this category. Could have slept for 5 more seconds with how great the Chert landing was, but I played it safe instead. 5:50 is the new goal. A Terrible Fate remix provided by Lilac Peregrine.

It's only just now that I'm realizing why they kill themselves in a fire for seemingly no reason, because otherwise Slate will be all "What the hell you didn't get the launch codes??" Instead the lingering temporal trauma of you burning yourself to death in front of them makes them Utterly silent.

[@pendragonchen]

I have but one question: Is the amount of universes you have created equal to the amount of universes you have destroyed?

[@Schneeregen_]

Actually, it's probably more universes destroyed, since the death of the universe is implied to accelerate whenever a consciousness observer observes the Eye of the Universe. The DLC even backs this up.

[@Nobody1707]

@@Schneeregen_ It's actually really hard to say whether that's true, as time inside the Eye doesn't necessarily have anything to do with time outside of it. You could have exited the Eye for the new big bang _before_ your original universe had even existed.

[@mighty_spirit8532]

Assuming that you completed the game once you should have created one more universe then you destroyed because of the one you actually managed to beat the game on.

[@Storywalker4]

@@Schneeregen_ This isn't how I interpret what we see.
Spoiler warning, I guess
When we enter the blue sphere, we are teleported to space, and see that sphere. Then, it explodes into a brilliant white ball that rushes towards us like the supernova has countless times before. When the explosion first occurs, it destroys the HUD of our suit, cracking our visor. Then, when it touches us, we hear the same burn sound that we hear when the supernova would. This immensely hot explosion obviously destroys anything it would touch. And, given that this is a Big Bang, would certainly destroy anything else it touched as it expanded. Most plausibly, the Owlks see this explosion and its consequences, such a thing would destroy the universe. And that such a thing would happen by observing the Eye, as we inevitably do, and it appears the Owlk is reaching out to do.
The Eye itself is clearly outside of linear time, and has a weird relationship with space. What's more, the time scales we see progression happen are clearly highly shortened for the OW universe. The Hearthians evolved from amphibians to sentient creatures in under 300,000 years. That's about as long as modern humans specifically have been around, and we aren't that different from our ancestors prior. The sun goes from a main sequence to a giant in 22 minutes. It's much more likely that grand scales are simply much smaller in the OW universe, and the reason why the universe collapses isn't because of the Nomai, Owlks, and Hearthians indirectly observing the eye but instead because this universe itself merely lives small and short.

[@Storywalker4]

However, it's quite possible that the spacetime ending destroys two universes in a trans-time multiverse. How a perspective outside time would see the time-bending effects of the Ash Twin project and wormhole tech generally, as well as the fact that these violations of linear time only break spacetime when there is a closed-loop violation, would raise some interesting hypotheses.

Question! why do you die to the fire? I've been watching speedruns and people keep doing it, haven't played the game so I was wondering what it does.

[@arch3141]

You have to die twice in order to wait near a campfire. In a recent update you are allowed to do so after a cut scene with statue (afaik) so it's no longer necessary

[@rive_the_roseblooded]

Wh- how did you double jump???

[@cosmiclikesminecraft]

Question 1. Why don’t you wear the suit since you have the wait for the supernova anyways?
2. Woudlnt scout duplication be significantly faster?

[@turkwinif]

1. Because this is a suitless subcategory, putting it on would invalid the run.
2. There's no easy way to suitlessly enter the high energy lab and live long enough to not sufficate. Not that it's impossible but it'd be very difficult doing so suitless

[@cosmiclikesminecraft]

@@turkwinif I mean you also don’t have the scout launcher without suit so even if you got to high energy lab I don’t think it would matter

[@turkwinif]

@@cosmiclikesminecraft There's a way to carry the scout along with you by firing the scout from the ship onto a scroll wall and taking out the scroll, you can even destroy spacetime with it if you place the scout and the scroll just right, the problem is getting into the HEL and having oxygen.

Why do you wait so long in the Ash Twin Project? Can you not rest for a few more mins and save all that time?

People are speedrunning the stanley parable. In what world would a game with a gameplay as rich as outer wilds not have speedruns?
Like yeah, the main focus of the game is the discovery and exploration. But all the space simulation stuff are incredibly enjoyable in their own right! You can just open the game now and mess around in that simulated universe and have fun even without any objectives.

Outer Wilds player moment

[@austingordon7x12]

Whats happening in this speedrun what made you break space time?

[@zsomborszekeres794]

Jumping into the ATP while it spawns the black and white holes duplicates you. (Obviously creating a paradox) But spacetime doesn't break at the start of the next cycle is because spacetime works on the assumption that you will jump into the ATP again thus wasting your body and essentially paying for the clone with your mass.(Like the probe goes into the black hole in the lab after the duplication nothing happens) But if you don't enter the ATP than the same thing happens as in the lab and you just duplicated matter. Which is a big no-no and impossible by the laws of science thus breaking spacetime.

When you die twice, you get the ability to wait by the campfire.

[@irinaprotek]

8:18 Immediately after you black out, the Fabric of Spacetime shatters. But why AFTER you black out?

[@EchoNovemberDelter]

Because then you can no longer jump back into the atp if you died

@@EchoNovemberDelter creates a paradox.
You removed the core that caused time travel, went back in time, with it unplugged. but it can't send you back because it was unplugged... by you, who was sent back by it, when plugged. Create an impossibility in reality, meaning ALL Of existence has been broken. I.E. Doesn't matter which came first, you can't have the chicken without the egg.

Is there a reason you don't skip End Times? I would assume you can rest at Chert's a bit longer, no? After all, End Times takes a full 1:30min

you cannot, the game automatically wakes you up at the start end times. I entered at the last possible warp alignment into the ash twin project as well.

can someone explain why people always kill themselves twice?

[@Rapandreas]

Why does dying at the end there destroy the fabric of space-time though?

[@demetriozema3606]

Because when he jump inside the black hole he create duplicate himself in the next loop because his duplicate exit the white hole at the Atp. When he died at the campfire he can't jump anymore in to the black hole so the space time because there is no way his duplicate at the Atp exist

[@tortoise-chan]

@@demetriozema3606 to be fair its a pretty understandable question, since after all the same paradox exists with your memories and that never destroys spacetime. clearly the game either a) sees information as fundamentally different from matter or b) maintains mental/physical dualism, the former of which is not subject to physical laws like causality
both are kinda problematic and very specific. I remember when I played I thought it was more likely that they basically just handwaved the paradox so I was quite surprised when destroying spacetime was indeed possible but only with those two particular setups

[@Ku_Ji]

@@tortoise-chan maybe it is the mask doing its (not your) memory upload thing consistently in every loop and somehow transfering the fact of your connection to the statue, so your body, your death doesn't matter as ATP already copied and stored all information

[@tortoise-chan]

@@Ku_Ji it doesn't matter if you die or not. The point is that the time loop itself, by design, overwrites your memories at the start of the loop, making your new memories causally orphaned just like the scout in HEL or your double in ATP.

[@Ku_Ji]

@@tortoise-chan ah, I see. So, there really is a mix of "we are in linear spacetime and events shoud repeat to be causal from somewhere in future" for matter and "we are in branching multiuniverse spacetime and events can be causal from alter times future" for data

[@steelplatedheart]

What happened is more or less explained if, after jumping into the black hole in the center of the Ash Twin, you go back to the Ash Twin project on the very next run.

[@yasintonge823]

that is a spoiler. see for yourself please

[@cybercat0564]

The Ash Twin Project's black hole leads to 22 minutes in the past. Usually it just records your memories and sends them 22 minutes back in time to your brain, creating the time loop. Here, both you and your memories enter the black hole. The memories go to the past version of you (the one waking up next to the campfire) but the present version of you is transported 22 minutes to the past still inside the ATP. If you go there you can even meet it and there is unique dialogue and stuff. But since in this loop, past you dies, they can never go into the black hole and be transported to the past, so the version of you inside ATP has no point of origin, creating a paradox.
