the current highlight of my life is when one of the Outer Wilds devs responded to one of my youtube comments

@aescling Super Bunnyhop released a video about how Outer Wilds could be used as an educational tool about planetary physics (which is correct)

So I made a comment to the video pointing out that the concept of "Quantum Entanglement" as described in the game is completely different from the actual physical phenomenon of the same name. I felt this was important because if we were going to have people thinking Outer Wilds could be used to demonstrate physics, we should also have people be aware of what it gets "wrong".

And the lead dev of the game responded to my comment basically saying "yeah you're right, my bad"

@aescling I found the Super Bunnyhop video funny because one of my first reactions in my first two hours of playing Outer Wilds was "omg the physics are actually kinda realistic what a spectacular demonstration of planetary physics the people who made this clearly understand and love physics" and I was just geeking out about it the whole time
