The devs on this game are actually just insanely awesome. Have pushed out community requested features + content patches consistently every 3 weeks for the last few years???
They are really awesome!
The cure for insomnia has logged on. Vinny Vinesauce's videos of this game never fail to give me wonderful deep sleep
underhanded compliment
it's the rain sounds
I unironically fell asleep to this video lmao
Let's goo!!
Both plastic and petrol are basically the same thing - chains of hydrocarbons. The heaviest stuff - plastic - is basically a solid, while the lightest (methane, basically) is a gas, and this is more or less determined by how long those hydrocarbon chains are. Imagine the difference between trying to burn an entire log vs. trying to burn wood shavings or sawdust - the smaller bits burn easier because they have higher surface area > volume ratio, it's the same basic concept for hydrocarbons, the shorter chains burn more easily and completely.
Either you like starting discussions about the plastic and petrol out of nowhere or this charming roguelite citybuilder requires understanding of hydrocarbon chain physics. Both options are equally terrifying.
@@suakeli you must have skipped the first five minutes of the video
It's not just that but we add other elements and chemicals to plastic to change how it functions. If all plastic actually was, was hydrocarbons it wouldn't be that much different than burning gas. Sweden has actually started burning garbage but none of the products are released into the atmosphere which includes solids and gases.
@@ckiemnstr345 plastic does not contain such exotic elements that burning it causes some kind of majorly important toxic gases.
you can burn plastic completely as well, especially in specific facilities. And many incomplete products of combustion are not gases anyway, so what is the issue then?
why did i cackle at its giving scorched, queen
Great game, he's not ready.
“We are playing a new video game”
Oh you sweet Drizzle-child…
as somebody that has 300h in this over the last 2 months, this will be a interesting watch. Buy it if youre into city builders but dont want just another city builder
I personally love this game
Starting phase looks really similar to Timberborn - would you say they're similar in mechanics?
@@OpinionatedSkinkvery much not so. But i enjoy both very much
@@OpinionatedSkink This has more of a factory builder / puzzle / roguelike hybrid. Each run consists of multiple levels and on each level you for the most part completely reset. Each level has randomly generated resources on the map and different starting races to play with that each have there own specialties. Whist the basic mechanics persist throughout the game the different combos and paths to victory that come from the rng means each level plays quite different and so you have to adapt a lot of your strategy to compensate or you will lose very quickly. Each level will run from 30min to 2 hour and each run will go for about 5 levels but you can add more as you unlock meta progression. You can choose the difficulty for each level and it scales up a lot. A closer comparison would probably be something like Slipways. All in all a fantastic game but definitely an infinite Just One More Turn type game that will have you going to bed at sunrise if you aren't careful.
@@OpinionatedSkink Against the storm is about winning as fast as possible and making another city, is timberborn also about that?
This is the equivalent of playing BG3 for 45 minutes and then never playing it again.
anyone else feel like NL would be an insane Hivemind guest
What is Hivemind?
the comedy movie bracket would go crazy
Wow, I friggin love this game, but never expected NL to check it out. My guess is he never plays it again after this 😂
Yeah, not sure it's a good fit for his channel, but love to see him give it a go anyway.
already mentioned on stream that it looks like a great game that we will probably never see again
I watched the VOD and he basically signs off saying this is a great game but we will probably never see him stream it again. Not surprised. Too easy for him to get into banter mode then play it so slow that it’s not engaging at all.
I know this game is probably too slow for twitch chat, but I personally would 100% rather watch this than SAP for chill banter hour.
In Sweden we burn so much garbage (in heating/power plants) that we have to import some from our neighbors to fulfil the garbage demand.
My girlfriend begs for me to play northern lion videos before bed: I get to pog to the content and she gets to fall asleep to her favorite voice
"What happens to the fumes of burning trash when they rise into the air away from people?"
It eventually cools down and stops rising, then you have smog and/or acid rain or something when it falls back down, I think. I dunno, I'm no meterologist, but I know how the water cycle works.
This video was 25% gameplay.
Too much if you ask me.
This is such a great game. I hope he gets at least a little deeper into it.
On the question of burning garbage, I can answer. Burning garbage is bad, but scrubbers are used to clear the vast majority of the dangerous and toxic fumes produced by the burning polymers. Co-Generation plants reduce the amount of waste going into landfills, and help to improve the quality of the waste going into the landfill. For comparison, if 100,000 tons of trash are burned down to 1,000 tons of ash, obviously it is better for the environment for the ash to be dumped in the landfill vs the raw garbage. Anyway love the content NL, keep up the great work!
The soundtrack is so calming. This is some good content.
In regards to the burning fuel vs burning trash question: trash can contain products that release toxic chemicals when burned such has heavy metals, carcinogens, soot, and ash. The shorter the hydrocarbon chain, the more completely the fuel burns.
Against the storm is a very fun game. Glad he’s playing it finally :)
This game is actually really really good insanely fun progression
I would love to see more of this nl
4:30 he actually starts playing
In Denmark we burn trash to generate energy. We are also required to sort our trash, so we recycle stuff like plastic and cardboard
"That's alright. I've got a cast iron commode." I'm dead!
Plastic is pretty much hydrocarbons with additives. Burning it is bad - the hydrocarbons burn into CO2 and the additives tend to create toxic compounds. However, if you do it (in a proper power plant, not just out in the open) and scrub the exhaust, it’s arguably better for the environment than burying it in a landfill and letting it sit there for generations. You can also get some energy out of it.
Bro I've had this one since EA and yes, tis a banger.
ponytails are back baby
no SHOT he namedropped tumbleseed on us again. what a throwback
ikr, one of these days tumbleseed will make a glorious comeback and we will all be proved wrong
@@eleanordawn8055 the prodigal son will return
I picked this up when it launched. I love this game. Glad he is checking it out. Already racked up 60 hours since I got it 8 days ago.
The dough joke was peak top of the dome NLism.
Finally, a roguelite game eggman is playing I already own. Won't have to shell out for this one this time 😂
I still remember back in the days playing warcraft. I enjoy building across the map to build a city, more than the core gameplay. Seems like this is the right game for me
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! This game is amazing. I'm pogging out of control right now. It's like watching your local rapper blow up, and act like they don't know no body.
You can burn trash but you need to trap the gases, it's done in a lot of places
FYI: This is the first video of the Against the Storm LP series!
as someone who loves this game, god am i dreading watching this lmao
Yoooo this is sick! I played a bunch of Against the Storm maybe 3-4 months ago and I really loved it but haven't played it in a bit. I'm really excited to see you check it out, it's really cool
We burned our trash in the country in the 90's. If you burn plastic it puts off pretty colors and horrid fumes. If you are like 1-2 foot away from it, you pretty much can't smell it unless the wind blow your direction. That being said, don't burn your trash. It is quite bad, but back then we did not know better.
Please let him play this enough to get to high prestige difficulties. The tutorial is so skeletal.
There are some intensely enjoyable games that come out in the 60-75 range on metcritic; I think in many cases games that have performance issues on release take a big hit and the scores are never adjusted.
I feel like that could also be where most polarizing games fall?
This egg is the protagonist of UA-cam.
Glad he's playing it. This game has a great difficulty curve.
I was playing this but I had to eat, so now I'm watching NL play this. In between Cine2Nerdle battle vids.
Saw on stream you said you'll probs never play this again. Please give it a go. At a higher play speed, it would have chat pogging for sure
That sybian joke he snuck in! Lolololol
If you build it, they will come. Do you think thats what the guy who made the sybian said?
This game is amazing and deserves any and all of its success btw
Found this game about a week ago. Love it
Can't wait for him to find DotAGE
If anyone else wants to watch more of the game i recommend WintersStarcraft
Fwiw the fumes from burning trash are generally heavier than "air". If we burned trash on a human scale, the fumes would displace all of the breathable atmosphere and humanity would be wiped out.
So maybe that is the play after all.
Im so essited he play the gamet! Well, as they say, bye!
Bro really making me wanna buy the game to see more of it myself +2
Idk what any of this NL vid was about, but I was drunk af and skimming through because I couldnt understand a single thing because of his banter; that said, usually he doesnt understand at all (disregarding me being drunk)
I love this game so much! Hope NL enjoys it
1:00 That is just called a cult hit or a niche game. Many games will have its fans; the main difference will be how many. A "bad" game may be someone else's favorite.
If NL wants to burn trash, he should burn his cardboard instead of recycling Amazon packages.
Has been my favourite game this year, awesome to see you play!
Sybian joke went crazy wtf
This seems like it's relaxing to start, but might get stressful as cities get larger
YES. MORE AGAINST THE STORM.
NL thank you for acknowledging tax accountants, i am one and its fun
Kenshi has a 75 on metacritic, Bannerlord is at 77, Caves of Qud isn't rated, OpenTTD isn't rated, Project Zomboid isn't rated, Noita is at a 76. Risk of Rain, 77....
Sips played this and it was great.
How long did he play this on stream? Did he say he would play it again?
Finally! lets gooo
This game is great thanks for playing it!
This game goes hard
Love this game
Rip to those of us who really enjoyed this game
did he already uninstall it?
In the vod he said immediately after the marker that he will never play it again. C'est la vie.
Someone get this man's egg out of the oven, it's so overcooked he thinks Metacritic scores have any meaning in the year 2023.
I love this game
Bad takes driving me away before the 2 minute mark. Dan Gheesling meta is strong today.
Palace Relief Toilet Water-Saving Mute Personality Toilet Color Gold Black Toilet HAHAHAHHAHAH GO LOOK
Isn't burning waste the standard? In the EU only inert waste can be deposited in landfills (to address the leeching and uncontrollable emissions). You shouldn't do it in your garden, because big fire bad and hazardous gasses are a thing. Plus the smell.
Oh hey, it's a game I actually know more about than NL for once. The only RTS I could ever play :D
Burning trash has a very low energy output/density. Burning 1 ton of trash would yield far less energy vs 1 ton of oil. On top of that, the trash also has worse pollutants. If this was pre industrial era, the toxicity wouldn't be as high, but our modern chems screw that up. Think about using plastic to heat an oven vs wood or coal.
I really enjoyed this game the first play. Then I got bored and never played it again. The pace is just a bit too slow and nothing really seems to happen. Farthest Frontier is similar but better imo.
If i end up liking this content, then i'll leave a comment so we have a chance to get more
Commenting just in the hopes that NL plays more of Against the Storm! Amazing game, but a bit of a slow burn to start.
roguelite or roguelike?
the low quality is because we're not on bitcoin standard yet, we're still using fiat printed out of thin air, read fiat food
Why does small batch bread skew better than the mass produced stuff? Survivorship Bias.
so is anno also a roguelite citybuilder?
nope.
Hey NL. Please play this again.
i LOVE this game!!!
Thank you Ryan for finally playing this one! It's soooo good. I hope it's not a one and done
isnt every city builder a rogue like
Cities Skyline is obviouslya a city builder
Whats the "both" guy from tik tok nl's talking about?
Lol love the take with hipsters and bread, shit should be better.
what goes up will come down.
I've been hit in the face by cig smoke from god knows where😶🌫
I love this GAME! but its so boring at the same time XD
Love this game. Been playing for ages while it was in early access. I would not call it a rougelite.
While I agree that mass-produced food could be better, his car analogy just doesn't work at all. That industry is all about "small batch" luxury car brands like Bugatti and Koenigsegg and bespoke modification shops like RUF, Saleen, Hennessy. The mass-produced Hondas aren't usually anywhere as high quality, but they are a lot cheaper.
3 min gameplay, 40 min talking with the static screen
This isn't new. This game is two years old, at least.
FWIW the game left early access on Dec 8th this year.
@@cptroot - FWIW - The game has been playable, and for sale on steam for a LONG time.
Absolute pegged choice of game
Nice try, NL. You can't get me to buy this game by sucking at it because I ALREADY BOUGHT THE GAME. Check mate.
14:00 Thats bullshit.
Nobody truly expects you to have that knowledge. People will just complain. So what. probably rightfully so. But you just dont have to care about it that much dude.
Its a good thing when people talk about the awful things people did. It encourages a culture where its harder to get away with these sort of crimes. Because that used to be VERY EASY.
But no one reasonable expects anybody to know about all of those. Or 100 percent boycot any content someone like that is a part of.
People will just talk. (which is kind of good, like you kinda said yourself) And thats it.
