An idiot tries to build bridges (Poly Bridge)

This stream took a turn for the worse and I am so sorry.

[@niko35320]

I learned two things in this vid: -Watching people building bridges is oddly satisfiying -Sophie is not really good at building bridges

[@BeastOrGod]

"Not really good at building bridges" understatement of the year.

[@ephemeraldream73]

You forgot the most important part: Sophie has a dick.

[@FunBotan]

"Anyone can build a bridge that stands, but it takes an engineer to build one that just barely stands".

[@russetwolf13]

Bridge construction is styling on physics.

[@turbotrup96]

that actually makes sense

[@gunmunz]

@@russetwolf13 All you need is triangles and bridge ballast.

[@EthanSchmethan]

Wow Sophie finally played Death Stranding!

[@ryoumakoushiro7447]

Wait a moment..... P-O-L-Y= 4 B-R-I-D-G-E= 5 D-E-A-T-H= 5 S-T-R-A-N-D-I-N-G= 9 5+4= 9 5/5= 1 9/9= 1 1+1= 2 Is it actually Death Stranding 2?! Can I commit seppuku rn?

17 minutes of: "thats not gonna work...oh shit it worked" "it'll be fine that'll work" *bridge breaks immediately* I love it, just too funny

[@RUDE7643]

This is a nearly 20 minute video on an Aries headbutting a problem until it miraculously fixes itself.

[@behindthesmile1276]

Sophie spends time building bridges and questioning physics while sick. A day well spent

[@degurkin]

Strut: Visibly not loadbearing,dangling off the road. Aurora: PERFECT

[@domenriono]

Sophie: "My friend actually dared me to play this game, one: because I'm very stupid" *Oh come now, it's polybridge how bad could you be?* 6:49 *hrmm...*

[@09spidy]

Ma'am, this bridge is highly unstable. Sophie: Just add more triangles, man.

[@chrislee1229]

"It's very demoralizing to be so excited about something working, and then it just doesn't." Engineering in a nutshell.

[@samuelmartin8775]

Sophie saying "that'll work" has so much chaotic energy behind it, like she's invoking some higher power to prove her wrong

[@CutDorothy]

Engineer: The weight and balance countershift of a bridge is very important. Sophie: TRIANGLES !

[@rorovevo3114]

So glad these are back

[@TomMason1999]

4:59 Sophis bulding skills was so bad the car decided to take suicide

[@aos-archive]

That part was gold.

[@bcfb21]

You know what I never want to hear from my local bridge builder? “You just gotta trust me”

[@pandymandy]

Sophie, I love how you can provide intellectual, thought out digests on the psychology and artistic interpretation of narrative in video games and you can hit the world with 3:56. You're an absolute treasure.

[@Teh10Sorrow]

*Reads description* "I am so sorry"..................I doubt that i really doubt that, REALLY REALLY doubt that.

[@DigitalGator]

Sophie The Engineer: Soooo good news is the bridge works! Treasurer: How much this time? Sophie The Mathematician: Uhhh I think we hit another zero at the end of it, not sure. But I mean we got it done, right? Treasurer: ...sure... *starts sobbing*

[@natzo89]

"Zeroes have no value, so adding more to the end of the bill won't change anything!"

[@Tehlongcat]

“How much wood and steel do you need for this bridge?” *ALL OF IT* Cue scenes of bridge workers devastating the surrounding area for resources like Isengard orks.

[@Soma_Chronicles]

Sophie in regular videos: Calm, well spoken, adorable Sophie in these videos: LITERAL GOBLIN SCREECHING

[@zenzonerzz4789]

Triangles are more stable because their sides are less likely to break or something. A square's sides are alot more likely to break cuz not all sides are connected to each other directly if that makes sence. Plus triangles use less materiels so it's more cost effective. Seems school isn't that useless, now i know useless bridge trivia.

[@anthsarin070497]

It's due to the fact the shape of the triangle distributes pressure away from a single point, meaning it's less likely to break under weight

[@Alargator]

This video gave me so much joy. Thank you, Sophie! I needed that laughter today.

[@BurningBlood517]

Sophie makin’ those two brain cells work overtime

[@marcwillis236]

11:22 By giving them simultaneous fatal seizures from pure horror at the geometrically-challenged abominations you are creating? Also, triangles with three sides and three joints are strong. Floppy, misshapen things with four sides and four corners that just happen to have been drawn in a triangle for their starting positions are... significantly less strong.

[@jeremywilson3902]

A man of culture I see

[@Flameblight]

This has been nearly 20 minutes of the best thing. The perfect timing of the bridge collapses. That one car that kept getting stuck. Your reaction when they somehow work out Just... Perfection.

[@Will-rv3tf]

As someone who studied general engineering and architectural technology I can safely say... This is beautiful to watch.

[@drithos]

Me at 0:14 : Oh it can't be that bad! Me after the first 3 min.: Oh... Oh no Sophie

[@angiegamez8600]

I love how there’s always some part of the bridge just flopping around XD

[@AndrewPagel9628]

That speech at the end really got to me. Powerful words Sophie

[@abeo222]

Sophie's voice and light heartedness is recognized by the medical community as a form of therapy. I just want her to read/tell me stories. Is that a Patreon perk?

[@Alltorn-N56]

Sadly no, just early peeks at videos and shoutouts/roll credits.

[@Davierdor]

Dude I wish

[@chaosmlg]

Genuinely wasn't sure if I was going to like the video, and then I started watching and remembered its valkyrie that's playing and the reactions are just amazing, I couldn't stop being sucked in and laughing. Thanks for making me belly laugh hard, I needed it.

[@RamblePak64]

One of my greatest fears in life is driving across a bridge just as it decides to collapse, condemning me to a suffocating grave in the depths of the water. Every time that bridge collapsed, I saw myself. Screaming. Screaming to a God named Sophie. And she said... "F**k that guy". And then I wept.

[@jedrzejsikora8970]

Sophie: plays bridge building game architects: finally a worthy oponent !

[@pyrosianheir]

Bahahaha, this was great. Triangles and ESPECIALLY hexagons are the best shapes for construction. They're the stronkest shapes. True story.

[@JoeyWeela]

The tutorial showed everything you needed but all you knew was “triangles mean stable, ez pz”

[@Dragonpit]

And it was the CHAT who told her that. She didn't get that from the game.

[@luiseatoll6368]

Welcome to Sophie county: nice pies, good timber, weird bridges with varying odds for survival. Safe travels!

[@poonzor7087]

Interviewer: So what skills do you think make you eligible for this position as head engineer? 0:16

[@GrohiikVahlokJul]

Amazing! And now that you have mastered bridges in Poly Bridge, you can move on to rockets in Kerbal Space Program! Great video, was a lot of fun. :D

[@cr1197]

Sophie would be an incredibly valuable asset to a team of bridge-building engineers. All they need to do is show her the plans and if she says it looks stable then they know they did it wrong and they have work to do.

[@crashschwarzen4642]

2:58 dident even take a second before the bridge collapsed lmao

[@Egeslean]

I applaud you Sophie, you got further in that game than I ever did. I gave up two bridges after the tutorial XD

[@ionutsaviuc94]

laughed so so much thank you for how funny the videos are and your humour

[@sqrrl]

I was laughing and crying at how horribly bad she was at this. So much knowledge was just out the window watching her throw whatever she could and essentially pray something worked. This was brilliant. Bravo

[@justmavi7999]

This was relaxing to watch, knowing I'm not the one who has to drive through them triangles

[@BATTIS94]

Sophie doesn't understand how bridges work... I love it!

[@Genasidal]

Poly Bridge is just a Death Stranding prequel

[@deevee5327]

I LOVE how Sophie just thinks more triangles makes everything better. It hurts but in a good way.

[@GlassedGamer]

I remember playing bridge building flash games back as a 15 year old, so I wasn't expecting Sophie to have any issues... I was wrong in the best way possible. We all love you Soph, that's the important part.

[@Knightshroud13]

I don't know why but I like the way she says baby. It makes me laugh an giggle every time I hear it lol🌹🌹🌹

When I get home for the summer I’m going to get my engineer of a father to play this game. I’ll re-comment what he thinks if there are enough people who care.

[@TheBlakReaper]

What did he think? : )

My favorite part was when one car went over the bridge just fine, and then it fell apart for no apparent reason.

that thumbnail is perfect because that is exactly how I picture Sophie to be while playing this game.
