1Upsmanship: Outer Wilds

In this banjo-playing, space-exploring, puzzle-solving episode our heroes contemplate such expansive subjects as the heat death of the universe, the human need for eternity, the value of a simplified narrative conclusion, and why are there giant fish in space? Mike and Adam probe the depths and heights of a meticulously crafted puzzle and traversal indie classic, Outer Wilds, all in the service of preserving its joys and pains for future generations. Of aliens, to be clear. We’re not getting off this rock alive. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
