Thousands of power outages in Northern Ireland. Gusts up to 70 mph where we are. We're watching one of the streetlights outside sway back and forth (at a safe distance from the windows). Quite hypnotic, actually.

Can anyone recommend a YouTube playthrough of The Outer Wilds that is good and doesn't rush and explores the story? Preferably by someone who doesn't shout a lot? Boosts welcome here.
I have given up on being able to play it. Ironically, I am terrified of space. No Man's Sky is okay for me as long as I avoid black holes but The Outer Wilds somehow hits me right in the terror glands. I can't get used to the controls because I'm too busy panicking.

ADHD astronomer, baffled PhD-haver, and beginner astro software dev. Doing postdoc things at Queen's University Belfast working with exoplanet atmospheres and distant solar system bodies. Good at Python for an astronomer (bad at Python). Outside of work: part-time k-pop stan, full-time queer nuisance. Also reading good novels, writing bad novels, gaming, cross-stitching, and accumulating new hobbies. Opinions mine, not my employer's. I'm much cooler.
