Something that fascinates me is that RT method of solving the puzzles is the equivalent of a kid taking the figure blocks and ramming it on the figure shape slots until it works out
@@thealchemistking4063It's pattern recognition. The first chapter was primarily IQ test style levels, the second one added some color patterns, and the third one added shapes.

Actually, this pattern recognition weakness was subtly foreshadowed in the Tetris Effect stream Dan did a while back, where he constantly failed to realize that the square went into the square hole and proceeded to make the most unsatisfying board imaginable.

Yeah, I'm gonna be honest. I don't even know what Dan was doing wrong on this one. Hell, the only time when I got even mildly upset was when the game didn't just make size ascending/descending the correct option, because that is objectively the ONLY correct answer.
@deadersurvival4716 The people mad probably played the game before watching the stream, and the solution wasn't exactly obvious at times. That or they were taking the piss out of Dan.

I don't know if the fact that I'm just as confused as Dan in a lot of these scenarios says that I'm stupid, or that chat has unusually high expectations.
I have seen many people talk about this game and how it relates to people with OCD specifically, but also Autism. And much of the commentary is so interesting when you look at it from that perspective, “why isn’t it making a chime” “what do you mean there are other ways of doing this” the frustration of feeling like everyone know the right way and you don’t, frantically trying to find a pattern or reason for why people are doing it different ways. It’s just really interesting seeing others struggle, and feel a little bit of how non-neurotypical go through life. Anyway, just thought it would be fun place to share this for other viewers to consider!
I was there live and this edit doesn't do it justice. His method was mostly randomly moving stuff around until something sticks. Some of the levels took like 20 minutes. It was fun, but the frustration was definitely real.

7:15 to be fair I do that with eggs for even weight distribution...too many times at the family home has someone picked up the carton by one end and immediately dropped it cause the weight was off.
To be fair, the a lot of the “solutions” make no sense or are not going to be reached any faster by another method. I fully do not understand why the three glasses were rotated the way they were, and the fridge doesn’t make any goddamn sense
Bought this game because of you! I knew I could do a better job, but in reality, I just kept jamming random objects into place, hoping for the "ding" sound to tell me i did something properly 😂
real. i downloaded it expecting it to be more like unpacking where there were a couple ways to get things right. like not AS freeform as unpacking, but still allowing me to figure stuff out my way. and then some of the puzzles are like "no you obviously deconstruct your sandwich and put individual blueberries on individual corners of the plate" and i was just... Help
A lot of people in chat for this one were referencing ocd and ik it's a common joke, but organising isn't all ocd is, and order ocd isn't even that common (checking and contamination make up 75% of cases). For something to be ocd it needs intrusive thoughts/feelings and rituals. It isn't a cute little quirk where you like things in a certain order, it's a debilitating mental illness. Honestly the amount of jokes about it is kinda tiring.
Oh yeah it’s frustrating as someone with ocd, but I do have to say that sometimes my ocd does make me impulsively clean my desk, but more in the “I’m going to spiral and have an anxiety attack if I get in trouble and having my desk messy might get me in trouble” sort of way, so I can get where some of the jokes come from. Yeah 100% agree with your points, just want to play a teeny bit of devils advocate and say that for SOME people with OCD, it can lead to obsessive cleaning because they don’t want to be seen as sloppy or for any other valid reason
I think what this game nails is that feeling of "oh, pleasantly reorganising my bookshelf will make me feel nice" slowly spiralling into "it's 03:17 and I have work tomorrow but I need to figure out how to fold all these different types of socks into the exact same sizes before I can sleep because otherwise undefined bad things will happen." While it is infuriating that your brain's anxiety can debilitate you in that way, I still manage to find some gallows humour in the way our odd little monkey brains try to deal with modernised life.
@@jacksonm6969a lot of the levels are just sorting by size, shape, or pattern but with twists. For example, I believe that the pasta one can be sorted by both size and curliness. (Dan did the size thing wrong, some were off) A lot of the levels with pots or mugs ask of you to line up patterns on the side or leaves or other such things. On the levels with the leaves you can stack them so that the holes match up with each other, I think you can sort them by the amount of jaggedness as well. The bookshelf has two solutions that both line up the bottom, one that Dan did and the other that makes the edges create a symetrical curve. With the ones in the video where he had to line up the envelope, reciepts etc, and the level where he had to organize the tools, the proper solution would have been to find odd edges/curves that line up (like the folded edges lining up with each other) and buolding it out from there. Another varient would be the puzzles where he had to line up the lines on the post it notes. You're meant to find two or three that line up with ecah other and then put those clumps together and so on. The best example would be the pencil puzzle, which you can solve as dan did, or line them up based on how sharp/blunt the ends are- and there are patterns on the bottom that corrolate with the shape of the pencil shavings, which is meant to be used with the solution and why they are there (aside from being for throwing away) He mostly brute forced it which is why the solution looks less logical than it actually is, and why a lot of people found it stressful. If my words are not clear enough, then looking to youtubers who specialize in these sorts of puzzle games and looking at some of the gameplay would help you understand better, though you don't have to go out of your way to do so.
Holy UA-cam, forget about the times RT hurt me, this game ITSELF had some really UA-cam ways of organizing. Who the UA-cam organizes their pantry like that
I dont know if I should be worried by the fact that I didnt feel like Dan was doing anything wrong during this... *The way he went about it was exactly how I would have gone about it and apparently that causes people unimaginable mental distress...*
finally watching this because it was featured in the best of 2024 vid and wow, I don't think I have enough pattern recognition skills for most of these levels either
Some of these, I can understand why you’d organize things that way, others are flat out psychopathic. I have to agree with Dan. “By size is the only correct way.”
In Twitch's Streams In Twitch's streams, the chat flies fast Messages flood, the memes outlast, Amidst the chaos, mods stand tall, Guided by an Irish call. We are the chat, just moments ago, We laughed and memed in lively flow, Now buried deep, our words are crossed, In scrolling text, we're tempest-tossed. Take up our words, our frantic pleas, And carry on through this unease. The torch; be yours to hold the line, If ye break faith with us online, The chat will rest in endless dreams, In Twitch's streams.
The fact everyone gets so pissed off by something that doesn't matter is astounding. Twitch Chat should see a therapist if watching RT makes their blood pressure increased.

@@HazeEmrykind of the problem with puzzle games in general. It’s very very difficult to build your puzzles so that your audience feels clever for solving them, but they also can be solved by most people. Portal does a pretty good job with it, I think. This game does not.
i'm starting to think that the twitch chat people are the most impatient people in the world cuz I'm over here like "it is fascinating to see the way that Dan solves problems" like it isn't always the most efficient way but it is interesting to see how he pulls it off lmfao
I genuinely went to go organise my own freezer, just to have some modicum of satisfaction from the time I spent here. 10/10 video, it made me do chores instead.
Don't worry, Dan. The devs and chat are just wrong. I'd suggest a refund if you can get one. 4:08 is not a correct solution, and I refuse to believe that anyone is capable of making a correct argument in it's favor. Size is the only correct answer to majority of these. Keep up the good work sorting things.
The fact people got so abhorrently upset during the stream is honestly so weird. Like, guys, it’s NOT that deep. Just laugh at silly Irish man being silly and chill lmao

7:15 to be fair I do that with eggs for even weight distribution...too many times at the family home has someone picked up the carton by one end and immediately dropped it cause the weight was off.
Boss music and it’s not even a minute in?, this is going to be a good video.
Dan clearly has whatever the opposite of OCD is.
Well, Obsessive Chaos Disorder has the same acronym, so...
Casual Carelessness Standard?
@@hadesciphernius5244Ah, so ADHD.
(You can't correct me on this, I'm diagnosed with it!)
I love how his approach to these is basically bogosort
To be fair, the a lot of the “solutions” make no sense or are not going to be reached any faster by another method. I fully do not understand why the three glasses were rotated the way they were, and the fridge doesn’t make any goddamn sense
@@derekeastman7771 the designs on the glasses line up a little bit. its most obvious with the bird one
I'm actually glad he's not going for all solution, that would have been way more suffering
"Why are they not organized by size?"
The alternate solution to that level was, I believe, organizing them by size.
Bought this game because of you! I knew I could do a better job, but in reality, I just kept jamming random objects into place, hoping for the "ding" sound to tell me i did something properly 😂
Why am I watching this. I've already stressed myself watching a longer version.
"You have to organize them by crack!?"
Ah, that explains it.
17:57 Mom, I'm on TV (loved the suffering btw)
honestly i genuinely dont get what chat was so insane over
the whole time i was watching this i was like "yeah id be confused to"
The creator of this game is an absolute psychopath, some of the solutions to these puzzles are baffling and unnaceptable
real. i downloaded it expecting it to be more like unpacking where there were a couple ways to get things right. like not AS freeform as unpacking, but still allowing me to figure stuff out my way. and then some of the puzzles are like "no you obviously deconstruct your sandwich and put individual blueberries on individual corners of the plate" and i was just... Help
I think this game's supposed to be a rage game considering some of the solutions
I'm writing a novel about despair but had been on a 6 month writers block, thank you so much for the inspiration
the difference between this and gore of my comfort character is that this is nearly 20 minutes.
He's so real for the box puzzle though, that one killed me a little bit when I played
A lot of people in chat for this one were referencing ocd and ik it's a common joke, but organising isn't all ocd is, and order ocd isn't even that common (checking and contamination make up 75% of cases). For something to be ocd it needs intrusive thoughts/feelings and rituals. It isn't a cute little quirk where you like things in a certain order, it's a debilitating mental illness. Honestly the amount of jokes about it is kinda tiring.
Oh yeah it’s frustrating as someone with ocd, but I do have to say that sometimes my ocd does make me impulsively clean my desk, but more in the “I’m going to spiral and have an anxiety attack if I get in trouble and having my desk messy might get me in trouble” sort of way, so I can get where some of the jokes come from. Yeah 100% agree with your points, just want to play a teeny bit of devils advocate and say that for SOME people with OCD, it can lead to obsessive cleaning because they don’t want to be seen as sloppy or for any other valid reason
I think what this game nails is that feeling of "oh, pleasantly reorganising my bookshelf will make me feel nice" slowly spiralling into "it's 03:17 and I have work tomorrow but I need to figure out how to fold all these different types of socks into the exact same sizes before I can sleep because otherwise undefined bad things will happen." While it is infuriating that your brain's anxiety can debilitate you in that way, I still manage to find some gallows humour in the way our odd little monkey brains try to deal with modernised life.
1:34 Rt has no pattern recognition skills, this might explain why he’s bad at rhythm games
I physically can not tell if he genuinely doesn't or if he is doing a bit the entire time
Maybe i dont too can you explain what the pattern is
@@jacksonm6969a lot of the levels are just sorting by size, shape, or pattern but with twists. For example, I believe that the pasta one can be sorted by both size and curliness. (Dan did the size thing wrong, some were off) A lot of the levels with pots or mugs ask of you to line up patterns on the side or leaves or other such things. On the levels with the leaves you can stack them so that the holes match up with each other, I think you can sort them by the amount of jaggedness as well. The bookshelf has two solutions that both line up the bottom, one that Dan did and the other that makes the edges create a symetrical curve. With the ones in the video where he had to line up the envelope, reciepts etc, and the level where he had to organize the tools, the proper solution would have been to find odd edges/curves that line up (like the folded edges lining up with each other) and buolding it out from there. Another varient would be the puzzles where he had to line up the lines on the post it notes. You're meant to find two or three that line up with ecah other and then put those clumps together and so on.
The best example would be the pencil puzzle, which you can solve as dan did, or line them up based on how sharp/blunt the ends are- and there are patterns on the bottom that corrolate with the shape of the pencil shavings, which is meant to be used with the solution and why they are there (aside from being for throwing away)
He mostly brute forced it which is why the solution looks less logical than it actually is, and why a lot of people found it stressful. If my words are not clear enough, then looking to youtubers who specialize in these sorts of puzzle games and looking at some of the gameplay would help you understand better, though you don't have to go out of your way to do so.
@@momononon thank you very much for such a in depth answer it must have taken awhile to write that
@@momononon bro I ain't reading all that. Good for you or sorry you feel that way
I am an unorganized person but this video has unlocked a part of my brain I didn’t know I had. Granted, I am just using it for rage against RT.
I'm with you RT. I'd have that boss battle music on the entire time. I took a look at that last puzzle and just said no as well.
Holy UA-cam, forget about the times RT hurt me, this game ITSELF had some really UA-cam ways of organizing. Who the UA-cam organizes their pantry like that
i feel like such an outlier because dan is doing the same though processes i would have LMAOOOO
Idk whats worse; watching this and stressing like crazy or knowing id be the exact same in his shoes
I dont know if I should be worried by the fact that I didnt feel like Dan was doing anything wrong during this...
*The way he went about it was exactly how I would have gone about it and apparently that causes people unimaginable mental distress...*
finally watching this because it was featured in the best of 2024 vid and wow, I don't think I have enough pattern recognition skills for most of these levels either
If there's one thing that Dan has taught me in this stream, it's that size matters
Some of these, I can understand why you’d organize things that way, others are flat out psychopathic. I have to agree with Dan. “By size is the only correct way.”
Fun fact the discord proffesors got so stressed during this stream that they made poems
In Twitch's Streams
In Twitch's streams, the chat flies fast
Messages flood, the memes outlast,
Amidst the chaos, mods stand tall,
Guided by an Irish call.
We are the chat, just moments ago,
We laughed and memed in lively flow,
Now buried deep, our words are crossed,
In scrolling text, we're tempest-tossed.
Take up our words, our frantic pleas,
And carry on through this unease.
The torch; be yours to hold the line,
If ye break faith with us online,
The chat will rest in endless dreams,
In Twitch's streams.
"That's right, it goes in the square hole!"
Thats the essence of Dan's solutions
Chat is *weak* you're doing great figuring out your shapes :) (we all know they go in the square hole anyway)
Honestly this is the kind of game that would infuriate me and seeing dan suck at it without getting angry is very therapeutic
tbh I couldn’t figure out how half of these were supposed to go raniel taniel
I would also go “ah by size” and then nothing clicks and just scream
Honestly, I'm with Dan on this one - the logic on some of these is quite hard to figure out.😅
This game was sent from the depths of hell to torture me.
The fact everyone gets so pissed off by something that doesn't matter is astounding. Twitch Chat should see a therapist if watching RT makes their blood pressure increased.
This is still better than watching someone play "A Little To The Right", which is a similar-styled game focused around reorganizing your thoughts and beliefs to justify the latest horrible actions your preferred political candidate has done.
10:35 *sees most obvious puzzle-sort level ever*
"Ohhh I can do this, okay"
...
...
"I'm pretty sure this is size"
I actually had to get up and leave the room for a bit jesus christ Dan wtaf
Nah, youre crazy. Who the hell is playing Tetris with their cleaning supplies, at least size makes more sense than that
@@mysticdigital5936 leave your sense at the door when entering a puzzle game. Unfortunate that it's the case for a lot of puzzle games
@@HazeEmrykind of the problem with puzzle games in general. It’s very very difficult to build your puzzles so that your audience feels clever for solving them, but they also can be solved by most people. Portal does a pretty good job with it, I think. This game does not.
9:16 Daniel this is LITERALLY a monkey intelligence test
it’s also literally a mobile game that advertises itself by the video having a frustratingly stupid user :D
Soul of Cinder is putting in the work this video.
oh my god thank you so much for saying the name
i'm starting to think that the twitch chat people are the most impatient people in the world cuz I'm over here like "it is fascinating to see the way that Dan solves problems"
like it isn't always the most efficient way but it is interesting to see how he pulls it off lmfao
The editing work that went into this is so good.
Made it funnier than it was stressful during stream
I don't understand why chat and the comments got frustrated watching this. The organisation also did not make sense to me.
I genuinely went to go organise my own freezer, just to have some modicum of satisfaction from the time I spent here.
10/10 video, it made me do chores instead.
Normally I love watching Dan's videos at the end of my day to relax. This is not one of those days.
Don't worry, Dan. The devs and chat are just wrong. I'd suggest a refund if you can get one. 4:08 is not a correct solution, and I refuse to believe that anyone is capable of making a correct argument in it's favor. Size is the only correct answer to majority of these.
Keep up the good work sorting things.
The fact people got so abhorrently upset during the stream is honestly so weird. Like, guys, it’s NOT that deep. Just laugh at silly Irish man being silly and chill lmao
You know Dans made a banger of a video when you literally shout "NO!" at the screen within the first 5 minutes of the video.
1:04 gotta love saying theres only one solution in the first puzzle with multiple solutions
My girlfriend had me play this game and I played it in the exact same way. Thank you for proving that I was right, Dan.
