Casual gamer Justin Weaver and serious gamer Ryan Swindoll are joined by Nick Duke to dig deeper into Outer Wilds! Here are the topics from today's conversation:

• The various themes found in Outer Wilds by Mobius Digital.
• Ryan calls this his favorite game of 2019. What makes it so amazing?
• What is it like to play an open world game without levels and quest lines?
• How can a game explore ideas as different as quantum mechanics and roasting marshmallows at a campfire?
• How the frustration Justin experienced playing this game taught him about himself.
• We discuss the various planets and rules of this solar system.
• Music is such a powerful tool for storytelling, and this game used it in some surprising and effective ways.
• What is the Eye of the Universe? Is it another Quantum Mechanic or is it a picture of God?
• We also talk about all the times we crashed and died!
