The start with the radio and cassette resonated with me so hard it's scary. I have a 9-year-old and just because I know she can't stand it I will start with "Back in my day" just for her reactions and every time it's worth it.

Imagine if it actually worked and I could for example think while scribbling and then the precise design or painting would appear.

[@catelynh1020]

I fully thought and was prepared for the old man to have been her love but she died young, imortalized in the final painting he did of her. That things would become more abstract in the painting as he got dementia and that at the end, he'd add to the painting something like a door being opened behind her, then after the visual of his room changes since he died and maybe even someone new moved in, he'd appear in the painting at the open door so they'd be together again. But i like how the game turned out. It was a rollercoaster of emotion and understanding at the end

Wow... this art felt right out of Studio Ghibli. Also, double Story Time? We are truly blessed.

[@LadyLexyStarwatcher]

One of the factoids that I know about Studio Ghibli I know is that they make a point to just stop and show mundane every day life. You really get that same feel in this game. It really does feel the same.

[@Annnoura]

Radio bits might be my favorite part of the video

[@jamoecw]

4:07 you might have missed it, being British, but that is not how you make coffee. you put a filter in, then if you have ground coffee you pour that in the filter in the coffee machine, but in the game you had whole beans, so you would put the beans into a coffee grinder (or a blender if you don't have a coffee grinder, but it won't turn out as good) and grind the coffee, then pour the ground coffee into the filter in the coffee machine. you then close the filter compartment and fill the water reservoir with water, roughly the same amount as you want coffee (some will be lost to steam and such) then wait as the coffee is heated up and sent through the filter and into the container. this is important stuff for a struggling artist, since they will have to work as a barista until they make it big, which could take a few decades unless they know the right couches to sit on (if you get my drift).

[@WarlordX7]

RCE if i didnt know better I'd say that shape you constantly draw is your favorite shape.

[@AJ-nb4pu]

I think the old man is Jack, and it’s the story of his love for Amber, the woman in the painting. It’s all of the memories and emotions that went into making the painting of Amber that were the puzzles.

Its never a simple game of painting when Matt uses his strongest shapes and engineering knowledge. Love the matt with time stories

[@hitlord]

I was expecting a MUCH darker twist, if I'm being completely honest. The lady being in a coma, or suffering from amnesia/alzheimer's, the old guy on the other building to be her lover and those being just memories he had from before she passed... I mean, I like the twist we got, it was wholesome and all, I was just unprepared.

[@vitorfideles]

Actually, from an engineers point of view, coffee is really just bean tee. Just architects call it coffee.

[@derangedlunatic9191]

About your friends Delhi doctor, it’s not that you don’t go to the hospital and the doctor comes to you, it’s just an option where there are more doctors needed and less present, or it might be medical students getting their training( unlikely since their trainer wasn’t present ) or a new doctor who just got certified and is trying to get work. They might probably didn’t name the price because he knew the patient was an American who would assume the medical bill to be way higher than it should be and would overpay by a lot and in that way the doctor really isn’t scamming by naming a ridiculously high price.

[@Mihoshika]

In regards to the doctor from abroad, tourists tend to not know the value of things in foreign areas. Asking them to just pay 'whatever they think it's worth' generally ends up with a pretty big profit, especially if they're helping them.

[@alien1162]

I could see myself giving them 100 bucks and feeling weird wondering if it's enough. And if not feeling like a cheap asshole.

[@jamoecw]

0:51 the game is telling you to paint it wrong. the yellow had brush strokes up and down, hence why it looked like a wheat field, so you should be painting up and down instead of diagonal.

[@steelchopstick4498]

Interesting take on the strongest shape, we rarely get to see matt draw one from a side perspective rather than top down.

[@kinggeek6933]

The thing is that most architects will think she forgot about him ... That might be true but one essential detail is that the cat they found together had a kitten who's now an old cat and the man she met is also old and under treatment. Amber might have died along the way and now she's trying to put her memory fragments back together as a ghost ... Deep LORE Behind the Frame ; ) But Hey It's all just a Theory , A Game Theory ! Have a Good One .

Music that gives me energy in the morning: falschirmjager bass beats remix(don’t understand a single word of it, but the beats are great), kickstart my heart remixed by dance with the dead, disco panzer, danger zone, 99 red balloons, ride of the valkyries, general quarters alarm, nuclear fallout siren, and the sounds of stukas dive bombing me. Best way to wake up a sound sleeper is to scare the crap out of yourself and make you think shit has hit the fan and you are under attack. Go from sawing logs to fully awake and alert in 30 seconds. Don’t do this, this is a joke and if you have heart problems, you could give yourself a heart attack waking up. Also don’t do this to someone else, they might wake up swinging. So if you decide to be a dumbass and do this to yourself or others, what happens is your own damn fault.

I want to comment on storytime #2 about the doctor not having fixed prices: I really like it.
