RTGame Streams: Unpacking

[@guwuega8010]

my favorite piece of environmental storytelling in this game is when you move in with the man and there is NOWHERE to put your things. it really makes you feel unwelcome. then compare it to moving in with your friend later, there’s always a spot for something. so beautiful.

[@Hunnie_Bunnie55]

"friend"

but i get your point, the player contrary to her ex-bf, actually care enough to make space for someone moving in

Honestly I played it and I didn't feel like that. It makes sense you have less room when you're moving into someone else's place and we pretty easily take over his living room with all our stuff.

[@slime-time]

it's less that there's no space and more he didn't make the space. you're allowed to move everything so it's actually pretty easy to fit your stuff away (minus the diploma, screw him for that) but he didn't even bother to clean up his drawers beforehand

[@ShiningStarlight101]

1:42:06 the game crashing when RT found a hanging spot for the certificate is actually accurate to the story lol

[@vivixion]

For all the VOD watchers, I want to be clear with just how much of a landslide it was in the poll following the events of 2:36:15. With the question of "Where do you keep your socks AND underwear, be honest", "nightstand" received 208 votes. In comparison, "closet/dresser" received 1368 votes, with a final ratio of 87% to 13%. The first poll was very even (about 49%/51%), but that was because the mod that made it phrased the options as nightstand or cupboard.

Dan’s extreme dislike of the boyfriend and his passive aggressive unpacking of that apartment was so funny. Such a testament to how clever the storytelling in this game is. When he started hiding the ties and throwing clothes in the closet I lost it.

3:17:05 “Doin well” - obviously we’re doing well, we picked up a plant girlfriend and now have a house and child with her. Much better glow up than the first boyfriend’s place lol

[@canhedotricks6078]

I was not a fan of this game's art style and premise, but I was shocked that I was so enthralled in this. I initially put the vod to watch in the background but quickly stopped what I was doing to glue my eyes to the screen. I think that the point of video games in general should be to convey an experience that can only be told by being a game, and this is a perfect example of that. For example, a book could never take us through the journey within environments that this game takes you in the same way. Even down to the way Dan pauses at the end of finishing a level, just to appreciate all the work put into it, I think helps convey the feeling of time passing and accentuates the time skip. This method of storytelling makes this game easily one of my favourites for the unique feeling of emphasis in spacial awareness and passage of time.

That’s inane, you put it in your dresser, not your nightstand

[@Cruxin]

honestly nightstand kind of makes sense, in that it works well, if you dont have anything else in there, but its still definitely not _normal_

[@robingrimm3443]

Honestly I feel like the best part is how they went feral this far into the game as if everyone just missed that he’s tried to put underwear into every nightstand and kept giving up because there were too many like. His shock at the reaction is 100% legit if only because he’d already done it what three times?

[@ifightwithink13]

RT's fascination with sticking underwear in the nightstand worries me.

[@kyuubinagashi]

both my parents always do this too, same with socks, and my brother and i both did until we got bigger dressers. think it just depends on how you’re taught what goes where and what you got space for in the dresser 🤷

​@@fiverfrankPeople don't always have room.

[@venusinpearls]

I think it's an Irish thing, I was raised with the same habit

[@PurpleSphere95]

I think it depends on the size of the overall nightstand. If its larger then sure but if its a small one then maybe it's best to put the panties somewhere else.

[@ladynoveldragon7505]

Fun fact! This game has dark stars, when you put everything in the wrong place. If you feel like making more people mad RT, I would love to watch a stream of you messing everything up as much as possible. Bonus challenge to not put anything on the floor.

[@haunter6682]

I didn't know that! Dude, your comment singlehandedly made me reinstall the game and spend half a day completing the dark star path, giggling like a maniac, cramming the living room full of pots and pans and cutlery, putting all the plants in the crib and tossing the cane-and-umbrellas basket on top of the fridge. The end-of-level messages were fun. And the most satisfying thing was: in the last house, ALL those heaps of clothes from the walk-in closet fit PERFECTLY on the four steps of the staircase in the entryway. Just like the devs intended. Gotta try avoiding the floor in a few days, idk if the first level will be possible though

[@nicolej5924]

The way he unpacks makes sense to me. It allows you to see everything you are working with. You can assess amount, size, and what location would work best for the categories you've decided to break them down into. It makes the unknown known and workable.

[@qynoi42]

Exactly!

[@dj_kitsu5850]

Every time I clean my room and dont do this I always miss something, I thought tnay everyone did it that way

[@Laniiiiiiiiiii]

I wish chat wouldn’t make fun of Dan for the way he processes unpacking. :( Part of the fun of watching people play this game is seeing the different unpacking philosophies they have, and I just hope that he didn’t feel bad for the way he has to process unpacking! That being said, it’s probably not that deep, and I’m looking too far into innocent comments haha

[@Poli.Zygotikk]

Yeah people were being unnecessarily rude and chat about the way he was unpacking, I'm sure he brushed it off though, he must be used to those comments by now. Though it's still unfair that people decide to make comments like that.

[@0oteee]

I have canonically cleaned my house while watching this

[@The_Commandant]

Watching this made me start organizing my closet.

[@Spicygoats]

Halfway through the vod rn, does no one tell Dan that socks _do_ exist? For those who don't know, the panties are tucked into themselves, and the waistbands can only be faced towards the southeast and southwest. The socks are folded like the pants, and their cuffs can only be faced towards the northeast and northwest. Additionally, the socks usually come in pairs of two. (This is all speculation, as it makes the most sense to me. Idk if it is 100% true.)
