Man i love incremental games. They're so simple and kinda shallow in terms of mechanics but the main loop is so addicting and it's just plain monkey brain fun to see big numbers go brrrrr. You probably only ever need to buy like 3-4 with themes you like and you're set on the genre but that's part of the charm
i wonder if him hitting the crystal for an hour was to punish everyone who spammed him to play pilot quest. Loved pilot quest but was so happy I cherried it the first loop
You cherried it first loop? I had so much trouble with Nozzlo, couldn’t get the idol til I had 2 consumption upgrades and 1 defense upgrade, and my idle-game playing brain got me upgrading production to max before I went in on those two, it took me a full 8 loops to cherry.
@@Sompursone I just farmed the 2 dungeons that had the 4 chest rooms for a bunch of Zs and the room with the guy and 2 chests. then turned in 200 Zs at once for extra energy to get 10k energy for the nozol encounters. turns out it was way overkill and I only used under half my time lol
I cherried it on the 2nd loop, but then someone on the ufo 50 subreddit showed their idols maxed out at 5 levels each and the completionist part of my brain kicked in, back to the mines (though Pilot Quest is genuinely fun to check in with between other games and just do maintenance with resources, and besides Nozzlo the bosses are extremely easy so it's just nice lol
Just when I thought I was out they pulled me back in ass game This has doubled my hour count on this game and has made me go back and replay all the other games, it was actually so smart to put this game late in the collection
This is my most played game because I didn't know it was an AFK thing. (It keeps counting when you close the game) I must've hit that crystal 1000s times the boop gives me PTSD
I like to read the info/history of each game. Most are flavour texts but this one does mention making use of LX's time module. If this game did come out in 1989, cookie clicker would have nothing on it
I stare in horror as the cosmological entity known as the moon Crystal beckons me in. I glare into the gleaming chasms as it rotates endlessly on its axis, and as I touch the Crystal lightly, a flake falls into my hands, is this destiny?
18:18 the common lore in the industry is that people don't trust good looking games. If its nice, it must make a lot of money; ie the patron will lose all their money. The other half of the coin is that the games are often 4k+ and are expected to run at 60fps and the hardware internally is as cheap as possible. But thats because most of the hardware budget goes to resilience and uptime. These machines are designed to be able to have an enraged drunk smash them chairs and have drinks poured on them without being taken out of play. If the machine goes down, that's a huge loss in profit for the operator. Especially if they have to wait 3-4 days for replacement parts to ship out and be installed by a tech. If a regulator has to come out and do an inspection of the repair, forget it. The machines just getting pulled from the floor.
Later in the episode he describes in detail his love for a routine-driven lifestyle and expresses multiple times he could just farm the crystal for his entire life and be content. 'Neurotypical' is right 😂

I liked it enough to beat it, and happened to cherry it at the same time, but i’m glad i never need to play it again (unless UFO 50 Gets a switch port)

I love Northernlion so much that i dont care how self righteous he gets when people tell him hes playing a game wrong just 30 minutes before he criticises people for playing TCG Shop Simulator wrong
Same energy as when he insults people who want to get better at the games they play before talking about practicing tennis so he can play it better. Still love him though!
As someone who drives during cyclist hours, I would just advise sticking with your group as much as possible. If someone falls behind, stay back with them. It makes it much safer for someone to pass if you're together. Also avoid roads with a lot of turns and hills. You can't see traffic from as far away.
Okay, smart guy, sure you paid for the salad bowl but they have a limited supply of ingredients to make those salad bowls and a limited supply of delivery to get ingredients. What that 70 year old, wise, lady meant is that someone else might have finished it all.
Of all my hours and second walkthrough to get the cherry for this game never did I get a moon ingot from the crystal thing in the middle. Streamer luck is real.
13:05 "500 MOON DROPS!!? I BUILT YOU YOUR HOUSE!!!!"
They're calling it the most warranted and justified outrage ever witnessed.
How it feels to be tom nook.

it only took him 2:17 to tell Tiramisu to get the fuck out of the way, lmao
yo this is just the pilot imagine what the rest of the show will be like
We’re all on a bit of a metaphorical pilot quest…
+2...?
If procrastination was a game lol
Maybe the real pilot quest was the friends we made along the way... for 5 ingots a piece.

Glad to see another gamer who cherried it on the first loop.

F yeah!
This game is going to drive the Type A chatters INSANE and I'm so excited for it
Genuinely one of the best games in the collection
Just when I thought I was out they pulled me back in ass game
This has doubled my hour count on this game and has made me go back and replay all the other games, it was actually so smart to put this game late in the collection
It's the game we've all been waiting for, and I'm lovin every minute of it

Only when you have UFO 50 up and playing other games. It doesn't count when you're actually offline
@@mattcroft counts when you're at game selection doing nothing?

6:52 OUTER WILDS MENTIONED 44:03 another important soundbite 46:46
He turned the idle game into a clicker.. mother of god save us all
he is hopelessly dependant on the ingot
As god as my witness. I did not know the big crystal could drop a moon ingot.
With the magic yoyo it does so actually very consistently. Shame that at that point it doesn't really matter anymore^^
The fact that NL knows he's doing the mewing thing wrong makes it 10x funnier.
The retro soundtrack is soothing to me
I'm here for 50 minutes of hitting the Moon crystal.
12:35 ascended mindset 🐀
"We can farm a little more"
> we could not, in fact, farm a little more.
NL before playing Pilot Quest: "Grrr stop telling me to play Pilot Quest I'm sick of hearing about that game"
NL playing Pilot Quest: "Yay I love Pilot Quest :)"
the problem wasn't playing pilot quest, it was people telling him he was doing it wrong for playing pilot quest later
Kinda sick that this is basically just the plot of Pikmin
Ayyyyyeee you finally did it. I started watching you recently and have been WAITING for this.
i literally didn't watch most of the other ufo 50 videos, but i gotta watch this shit for the pure banter
24:58 I am granted this sight whenever I smoke weed
I was just here for a good time and NL almost came up to the labor theory of value at 14:00 on his own
NL's experience in pilot quest sounds SHOCKINGLY similar to when he was figuring out how to be a father.
what a glorious feast of a game for type b chatters
Maybe I'm cooked but I could stand to watch A LOT more Pilot Quest
brace yourself for a whole week of Pilot Quest content
One must imagine the pilot questing happy
I had the same aha moment he had at the start when I understood it's an idle game
Can't wait for the second aha moment where he boots it up the next day and realizes you have to leave UFO 50 open for it to idle.
I love this game, but I am also really happy to have finally cherried it and never have to play it again.
Love it when NL makes up a whole guy and then challenges him and waits for him to reply in chat.
The pilot quest hating into pilot quest loving. The character arc goes crazy
He never hated pilot quest he hates people who tell him to play it first.
+2 just for the Money Trees reference
nl runescape era would go crazy
he would genuinely overdose on yapping
Ah, the sequel to the hit game Planet Zoldath. The game the Pilot was originally from.
Ah, "the one where you walk around and die"!
They call it the biggest glow up since Street Fighter 2
I liked it enough to beat it, and happened to cherry it at the same time, but i’m glad i never need to play it again (unless UFO 50 Gets a switch port)
**gets 1 ingot 1 meat**
Its never been so goated we are so in this
**dies**
Its over, wrap it up
**gets 2 ingots from the slaves on return**
We are so back
This is the greatest content nl has ever posted
Famous last words: we can farm a little more
genuinely bought ufo 50 cause i wanted to play pilot quest alongside nl lol. it's addicting
YES REWATCHING THIS
this soundtrack goes so hard had to write it out in latin alphabet.

28:49 the spicy sus
I have UFOmo watching this video
Pilot Quest drove me nuts. It took an enormous amount of time to get the Cherry for this game.
pilot quest era finally begins
I finally got the game and spent all weekend just playing the multiplayer games in the collection. Is good.
It really is the best game on there. I spent the most time playing it. Had some agonizing losses but it kept me coming back
I like to think Pilot is sort of an alter ego of the egg.
virtual insanity, its im all hearing. im sure its not the same, but its close enough and i cant stop it
I love Northernlion so much that i dont care how self righteous he gets when people tell him hes playing a game wrong just 30 minutes before he criticises people for playing TCG Shop Simulator wrong

Sometimes I have the feeling you’re just acting that you’re playing a game for the first time - the speed with which you pick up the mechanics! 😂

yes!!! primitive accumulation. preach!
Of all my hours and second walkthrough to get the cherry for this game never did I get a moon ingot from the crystal thing in the middle. Streamer luck is real.
i got it on my third hit, went to the wild area and beat the game without ever hitting the crystal again
@GarudaRamudasRumpusRoom this game was ahead of its times.
27:23 it said he lost everything and got 220 from the plants, so how did he get 572 and a ingot?
Lil bro doesn't understand the game
