just to confirm if anyone else is wondering, yes this is an actual thing, there's even two other of the chicken toys you only get to see while playing in a dark star mode playthrough because some of the level layouts are slightly different because they use the previous level's end as part of their start.

…..what? What’s weird about that?

[@Nuvcore]

People will rent out bedrooms of a large apartment to split the bill and cut costs. It's a common thing, especially with young adults and students. Affordable apartments can be rare.

[@The_Anti-Guide]

Apparently people have misinterpreted something and I'm not sure how: For some reason Europeans seem to notice the one place (the sorta college/post-college room) and come to the conclusion that they're moved in with ONE other person in a way that they think it's a close relationship of some kind. As the comments have pointed out, that's not the case.

[@slimebunny5700]

I unpacked the same way dan did in this game, it feels way more satisfying to have everything laid out then tackle portions of it at a time. My smooth brain understands it better

[@guy_who_games]

He really played the whole game without watching the unpacking Timelapse. Insane stuff happing on this channel

[@draconiskittensweetie9765]

One of my favorite things about watching you play games is we get nonsense like "bug bomb the baby light it on fire burn the blinds down" mixed with genuinely adorable and heartfelt moments of appreciating the game and what it's looking to say and like, you expressing how you wanna be a dad and you'd make a good dad. Idk it's just really sweet and this video brightened my day

[@fossilizedcorvid]

i am obsessed with the first 3 seconds of this video. i haven't even watched it yet, i keep rewatching the beginning. i've rewound it like 20 times now

[@-FutureTaken-]

When Dan got to the kitchen in the final house I actually started crying

[@lilshmurda9495]

The fucking John bit is so funny every single time

[@drantigon]

I'm with Dan with the sock drawer part. I don't have a nightstand, but that's definitely where I'd have my underwear.

[@reanimatedf2p509]

cupcake is so precious, i want to protect her at all costs

[@nicholasfolk5582]

Watching a game about unpacking and organizing when I’m supposed to be unpacking and organizing…

[@quno5174]

The great thing about this is that the calming, peaceful OST of this game is done by Jeff van Dyck, who is also known for making most of the early total war games OST’s too. Quite a departure from what he had done before.

[@StickMaster500]

The Cupcake Plushies are unlike any other plushies as they're one of the 3420 Wooloo slaughtered during the Welsh Massacre of 2019. Hope you enjoy them knowing this fact!

[@Friedeggle]

Im also in shock to how little people keep underwear and socks in their nightstand ive had it like that for 6 years

[@moshuma3739]

I'm also shocked by the nightstand thing. Always thought it was normal to have them there.

[@staci80]

Ngl, as someone who has the same cleaning method as Dan, this was Painfully relatable. Glad to see a fellow psychopath do his own thing ❤

[@j-man3267]

I’m so surprised about the underwear thing I thought having it beside your bed was wordwide I’m not gonna lie

[@imjusthereexistingithink]

HE ORGANIZES THE RIGHT WAY THOOOOOO get it all laid out in front of you 👌👌

[@eliaspanayi3465]

Especially if you don't know what's in the boxes

[@renkuroo]

his way of first getting everything out and then organizing it was actually really relaxing

[@mr.stuffdoer8483]

I’m gonna be crazy and say his unpacking style makes total sense.

[@KWBR1123]

LOCK THIS MAN AWAY

[@felidae272]

Genuinely loved watching this video. The game was relaxing and yet at times anxiety inducing, but RT never failed to make me laugh during the stressful moments. So good.

[@Sanctum6900]

I have to agree that fancy socks make your day better. I have socks made of human skin and whenever I wear them... It just makes me smile.

[@cyro8039]

I agreed with his method right until he put cutlery on the floor

[@endmii3912]

Got a vivid image of Dan staring at the drawer that holds his underwear and socks every night now when he sleeps, thanks Unpacking game devs!

[@NotOnLand]

I can't comprehend how this could be relaxing, it's literally the 2nd worst thing about moving. Just watching this brings back bad memories, when he realized there was more than one room my heart sank.

[@LogicalNiko]

FYI this process has a name... its a technique called Knolling. Its specific technique for sorting and grouping objects for optimal use/storage/examination.

[@Darkflamecrusader]

Don't worry Dan, that's exactly how I clean and organize too. It really gelps me to be able to visualize everything before I start figuring out where it goes.

[@Becks72]

I’m so glad someone else uses the bed dump method of unpacking. Motivates me to get it done because I can’t sleep until it’s finished.

[@theregularterrarian3933]

Dan is very talented at making people stressed over a peaceful game about unpacking

[@untitleddocument5231]

this was the first rt stream i caught live after finally making a twitch account! it was really fun, even though dan does not know how to play games properly

[@lol-2247]

This is where the fun begins 😅

[@nuclearsoul0363]

Genuinely one of my favorite videos of yours. Absolutely wonderful!

[@e.millustration1759]

Daniel repeatedly referring to the bottle of e45 cream as shampoo is the worst bit

[@oceconda1176]

I was waiting for some maniac to find the unboxing/ boxing game! I’m happy the day finally came.

[@kaewierdoni4640]

Im so glad you managed to make even the end cut scene scuffed by naming her John

[@catkittycatc4t]

1:55 i love how *everything* just lights up

[@Zorgot.]

The way Dan does this, dumping everything from all of the boxes onto the ground before doing anything, is like opening all of the bags of legos in a set at once and dumping them, then going from there

[@xXxXxXxAllianaxXxXxX]

I’m so glad that the one thing that survived the trip from twitch to KZbin was the underwear in drawers debate. Watching it live was a surreal experience to witness.

[@WhyRyanKing]

I don't know how to explain this in a typed out comment, but I just wanna thank you, RT. I've been dealing with terrible treatment for a long time and I found your videos to be such a major comfort and healthy get away from the situation I was stuck in. I recently decided with my girlfriend that we are going to move off to a different city so she can follow her work goals and I can finally get away to grow as a person. And yes, know this is super serious and emotional for a game about un-packing, while Dan puts toothbrushes on the floor (oh god...) I just saw the opportunity to finally express it and also a chance for anyone in similar situations to understand that they will get free. I know they will

[@ohno6919]

3 minutes in and the anxiety really is through the roof Joking aside though, there's always something strangely relaxing or at least fun about RT putting us through some absolutely ridiculous/awful stuff. I just hope he knows that.

[@jojojojojojojojojojojojo4181]

I actually love rts style of unpacking as you get to see a extremely messy room become clean
