Its like watching my baby brother playing with blocks for the first time. You are routing for him, but god damn is it infuriating to watch xD

[@stonedstreamingna6852]

@@rifaiiixiii So accurate

[@TheAwikak]

I can't even begin to understand this mans genius! After he had cut and rotated the circle into a top half ready to get cut into a left and right half, where he needed the right half. He throws away the right half and instead rotates the left half so it becomes a right half! Man that's a big brain play if i've ever seen one!

[@Faebulous_]

NL: "Now let's make this as simple as possible" Everyone watching: *oh lord here we go again*

[@Gihntemos]

He's somehow convinced himself that the trashing of the right half is a requirement rather than a suggestion. I'm not mad... no, no, I'm a little mad.

[@gazesalso8127]

yeah - thats driving me mad - why not use both halves !

[@aresagathos2075]

So i kept saying to myself " its okay he must have never played factorio" the entire time. The fact that he has makes this video so funny lol

[@pretentiousname01]

So y'all bought it then

[@Liwet.]

He cut his production in half by putting trashcans on the cutters. He could have easily replaced the trashcans with 3 rotators.

NL sellers pitch: I'll play the game wrong and you will not be able to correct this mistake unless you buy it for yourself.

[@pogocoop]

When NL looked at the guide for making the painted circles, then clicked back to his galaxy brain solution it reminded me of that episode of the Simpsons when homer was building the bbq pit grill, and he was looking at the cover of the box, then lowers it to reveal an absolute mess.

[@JakeSimmer]

OMG, I know it's two years since you made this comment, so I looked it up, Homer.... Eventho I have just read your comment, suddenly I see a working grill and thought, wow he actually did it LOL. The internets is a great place isn't it ;-)

[@Tuku]

tbf, thats not how an intellectual would play it, thats how literally anyone would play it, I dont know why NL's throwing half of his production to the trash.

OH MY GOD

[@mozartdminor]

I don't know if this was the intent, but watching NL throw away the part he needed and then transform another into the same shape has made me need to buy this game

“ now it’s going double as fast” He says while deleting half his stuff

[@pollyphemeus]

"this is not an idle game" NL sits idle for like 3 minutes just thinking "don't destroy your factories" NL immediately destroys everything. over and over. Watches tutorial showing you can just put both halves directly into the storage. Still immediately deletes all left halves forever.

[@FilledCircle]

19:46 he cuts it in half, throws the correct side away, and rotates the incorrect one into a second correct option. He later remarks that he could maybe save a rotation if he didn’t rotate first, which is incorrect, but he could have saved one if he threw the other side away. I love watching egg man play puzzle games, though I know this is what I would look like when I play too.

This game looks so relaxing, music is excellent and the design is really pleasant. NL Tries has introduced me to so many great games I never would've found otherwise, and this is a perfect example. Also it's completely open source!

[@Bonebraker85]

it is so amazing to see how different peoples brains are wired. it is really great to see something entertaining as it is equally frustrating when he spins the wrong piece into the correct position while sending the ALREADY correctly cut piece with the absolutest amount of disregard into the trash not wasting a single second thought on them. Please NL... never change.

[@piercebradley4013]

This brings me back to the factorio days, really enjoyed this vid

Id love to see a return to this but my god egg man cracked my brain with this. I love the trial and error but my god the insanity was just to much at the end like all the trash cans from planet coasters have invaded lol

[@Cronos804]

If NL was a surgeon and had to give you 1 kidney transplant, he would cut out both of your kidneys, throw one into the trash, mirror the other one, put the donator kidney where the first kidney was and then put your first kidney in the spot of the one he threw away.

[@alexkaplan1136]

Really though, they just add the donor kidney. They don’t remove the originals. So Dr. NL is especially crazy.

[@blackfang04]

OK that last painting puzzle was the most convoluted solution I've seen in a video game, like ever.

[@alexanderwales7870]

I loved this so much. Brings back a lot of fond memories of watching you play Factorio, especially the end part there where you were blocking all the paint holes.

[@ahandsomefridge]

Well, the comment section is pretty much what I expected it to be after watching this video :') Neat game though

[@SoopDwagg]

somehow this game has fucked his brain even more than factorio, despite it being 'simple shape factory' as opposed to simply complex factory that factorio. like factorio has 800 resulting items and math required for some things but enel has absolutely horrible spacial memory the dude gets lost in issac every episode which makes things like simply breaking a circle into quarters then rotating a quarter circle to reproduce the exact same shape into a herculean task.

[@g7parsh]

Came for the conveyor spaghetti, was not disappointed

[@NLLHW]

Truly astonished by the amount of struggle here BUT the game looks sick and I love watching him learn.

[@lianjanpp3350]

I like how on the paint the circle red part he was making it more complicated with each thing he put down

[@killisys]

This game is super pogged. Having a lot more fun with the browser demo than I thought I would.

[@Ghkugbdghbmkgvbnh]

There's such incredible tension when he hovers the conveyer belt over the space where he deleted the trashcan. It always seems to happen. Just pauses to think it through with his cursor sitting on the solution. It should be infuriating, but I can't get enough of it.

[@tylermeh210]

NL mines 24 pieces of circle at once, destroys 75% of them, and over complicates it all. “Let’s make this as simple as possible” bless your heart because your brains a lost cause. I ❤️ you

[@ronaldduttweiler1578]

NL: uses mergers correctly overloading the system because it's too efficient NL: "I'm not using these correctly"

[@GeoQuag]

19:46 he cuts it in half, throws the correct side away, and rotates the incorrect one into a second correct option. He later remarks that he could maybe save a rotation if he didn’t rotate first, which is incorrect, but he could have saved one if he threw the other side away. I love watching egg man play puzzle games for the unintentional comedy.

[@mikeballew3207]

When I was a kid, my parents had a difficult time letting me figure things out on my own. They would see me try and want to "help" me by showing me how to do it. I now see myself doing the same thing when I watch videos like this. I know this is an experience that a lot of us can relate to, as we tend to buy games like this after seeing this. You have this feeling "I could do it way better" and you buy the game to satisfy that feeling. I love factorio, and I can see myself enjoying this game, but what I didn't realize I would experience is while watching this I thought about being a parent. What would you say to your child if they were trying to learn how to play this game (no offense NL :P). In my head I kept thinking "errmahgurd! Do it this way instead!" but then I started to quiet that voice and think the more I could resist those thoughts the better I would be as a parent in the future. Idk, just a thought I had. Thanks for showcasing this! Anything inspired by factorio definitely gets my attention!

[@alexkaplan1136]

I know it’s 3 years later, but this is a good comment. I’m a parent of two young kids, and it’s very difficult not to show them how to do every little thing, but then they don’t learn and develop for themselves. Frustrating in the moment, but ultimately very rewarding to see them grow and come up with their own solutions.
