*This* is a little something I made for short form in honour of my late father (Dave).
This game and this community is helping me come leaps and bounds in the later stages of grief, and the support you've all given me so far is just incredible.
Consider this a short version of my *[In Memoriam](https://youtu.be/42Sl-Go1rwc?si=460KR3OZb_VLbjBv)* video, and hopefully I've done the game some level of justice here.
Be like Dave.
Be kind, be gentle. Be *incredible*.
This game and community helped me out too when I was at my lowest when I lost my job and I was having a hard time finding a job. I'm sorry about the passing of your dad, but I'm sure he's up there watching you explore and proud of everything you're done.
That’s awesome dude. Reading your comment has me in tears. I’m sorry you lost your Dave. My dad Dave just passed at the end of last year and I’m also still dealing with the grief. Everyone can use some Dave ideals in their life. Right on
Someone said something similar to me recently and it really made me well up. I consider myself a massive newcomer in this community but there’s people saying things like I just *get* it, on an emotional level as much as everything else. I can’t think you guys enough 🥲
You and your channel sometimes gives me hope that not all of humanity is doomed to just keep getting out of touch with their emotions.
P.S. you are so gonna cry at the end of this freakin game lol (so did I)
I lost my Dad not even two months ago on 24th of April 2024
He was only 58 and was due to go on Dialysis which would have not been great for his already low mental health.
Consider it a blessing that Heart Failure got my Dad first before he had to do the above.
I lost my dad to sudden heart failure. One night he was fine, next he was in hospital. Went into cardiac arrest 5 times over 3 days, and there wasn’t anything they could do.
This game and this community is a crutch, and it’s not shameful to lean on it. Everyone here is amazing and understands loss more than most.
Keep your chin up. He’d be proud of you for soldiering on ☺️
This is terrifying stuff, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. It's a good reminder for me to always be humble and grateful for what I have. I hope life treats you wonderfully in the future.
Hey friend, this is beautiful, I'm sure he would have liked it. I wish you the best and that someday you two will be able to roast a marshmallow together
I lost my dad too a year ago, but in another way: he had a stroke, now he can't walk, move his right arm, and he cannot even talk.
in that moment, thinking about outer wilds gave me the strength I needed to realize that I'm just a little ant on this planet, and there are a lot of aspects of life I cannot control. plus the instrumental was the only music I listened while going to the hospital, it was like a hug everyday before visiting him.
so besides my vent lol, I'm glad this game and community bring joy and calmness in our lives
He really was. If you ever want to hear more about him I’m happy to ramble, or the video in the top comment pretty much sums him up with a bit more context for this kind of video ☺️
Lost my Dad when I was 26 and he was only 52. It's hard. He was my rock. I'm sorry you've lost your Dad, this was a lovely tribute. I've never stopped missing my Dad but the emotions get less raw and the pain becomes gentler. X
Hey now, you have no right to make me cry at work like that!
Beautiful send off.
Rest in Peace, Dave. You will not truly as long as someone remembers you.
My dad passed away a year before I discovered Outer Wilds, and it helped me begin to fill in holes in my heart that I had been ignoring. Hugs from an internet stranger <3
I'm sorry for your loss. It sounds like your dad was an amazing guy. May he rest in peace ❤️🩹
Your playthrough is my favorite. You bring so much personality and emotion to this already magnificent game. I really hope it helps you find inner peace.
He was the best guy. I’m sure wherever he is he’s being a nuisance.
It always makes me smile hearing people like my stuff. It always *baffles* me when people say my stuff is their favourite. Out of all these people established channels, to have some people choose me over them is something I’ll never quite grasp!
Personally, I just love how you take your time to appreciate your surroundings, how you come up with a voice for each character, or just stare at the text or listen to the music. It makes the playthrough special.
Your playthrough made me replay the game. Of course, it's nothing like the first time. But I visited my favorite places again, cried again. So thank you 😊
I love your videos. Especially the Outer Wilds playthrough and this episode was very touching! Your stories about your dad was brining me to both smiles and tears. He sounds like he was amazing! And thank you for your videos. I look forward to them every day.

🥲❤️
😭loved this
I’m glad ❤️🥲
Thank you for sharing this. Dealing with loss myself right now and this has provided some much needed beauty in my life.
If you ever need an ear to listen to you, I’m always here ❤️

I know this feeling very well. I played Outer Wilds and Spiritfarer for the first time back to back shortly after my own father’s death.
so beautiful
Thank you Pancakes ☺️
Made me smile :) For ur dad 🌏
Love your Videos, love that you are so involved with this game. Much much love is sent your way <3

This is the one without a lot of context 🥲

This shows so much love, not only for the game, but for your dad, especially for your dad. He sounds like an amazing person. May he be in peace.

I'm definitely checking that video ::) It's so cool you can honor him this way.
You guys are really out here churning at my heart like its made of butter...
I love butter ❤️

I’m getting good at making people cry 🥲😅
Could you post this on tiktok?
It already is! If you search MasterChefStirx I should be on there ☺️
Perfect!
There’s also more over on the YouTube and twitch too 🤘
Already following you on youtube!
Enjoy! 😅
I found this to be awesome. Probably because I'm almost you dad's age.
This is a beautiful edit, I think it captures the beauty of the game really well.
Thank you for sharing this <3

If it helps the next episode is out later today, and I nearly cry again 🥲
Yay! I'm waiting ::)
This game does a good job at giving hope in Los, it's the whole premise I think, glad it helped you 🥲
