I never understand what he does, still love the videos tho!

I will say, when you're playing it, Patrick's Parabox is usually easier than the Witness

@@blizzard8958 yup i dont understand the flower one that quicky

I remember the really hard ones to follow along for me were Room to Grow and Snakebird. And I stopped watching Cosmic Express near the beginning, but I also found that hard to follow along. I think I could follow Patrick's Parabox all the way(except maybe for a certain area in the middle). I got lost at Baba near the mid-late game. And the Witness was so long and had so many separate sections that I forgot when I got lost. And Understand was shorter than the Witness, but I also forget at which point I got lost on the puzzles for it.

@@WanderTheNomad huh.. I didn't get lost in most of those the only time i got lost was in the witness sound thing and maybe near the end in baba

T pieces… Yeah! T pieces, T pieces, T pieces.

Put that shit on a card

@@dreamerofthorns I’m going to mail Tyler a shirt with that on it

Middle mouse is more convenient, personally.

Ditto, I found marking empty cells super useful. There even were a few places I wished I had two markers

If only I saw this before completing the game. Would have been so useful!

Why didn't the game tell him this? It showed me when I got to this part.

the game didn't tell me to

Until the main secret puzzle, at least.

Yeah, i like this game a lot more than the witness

I love it so much

Commenting battle advanced

I call them variables, though I really like pipes

I called them mirrors since the should copy eachother, straight and at an angle

Dude its midnight for me

Jokes on you I only watch videos late at night

@@c-saltinsanity1597 that's right, sleep is for the weak

imagine having to watch the video upside down standing on the ceiling

Release dates for anything is both a blessing and a curse in Australia

same.

wanna talk about puzzles?

These seem like riddles, but he would be able to figure it out

I assume one of those is the fast travel system.

​@@DavidGuild Spoilers: Yeah, that's one. Mainly how symbols aren't on map till later, so there's no real indicator to do another one. Other thing is the bonus area, which is purely puzzles and has nothing to do with endings.

Tilesets?

@@knowledgeacquirer2931 -- Like when games are on a grid, and each grid box has some art, like tiles. There might be several different grass tiles, some path tiles, some rock and cliff tiles, a bunch of building tiles, and they can be placed on the grid to paint a map. There are special ways to build a set of tiles so that they all blend together nicely, and even look like they have different heights. Once a tile set is made, you can build massive maps without needing to paint evey pixel or store gigantic images in ram (which isn't much of an issue today, but it used to be really important). Some games that use tile sets include: many sidescrollers (Mario, Metroid, Sonic, Celeste, Barotrauma, Snakebird, etc.), many top-down game (Pokémon, Legend of Zelda, Chonotrigger (and most JRPGs), Sim City 2000, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Factorio, both of the rail based puzzle games on this channel, Dorfromantik is entirely about tile sets, etc.), and loads of other games (I think even Minecraft textures count). Basically, if a game has art on a grid of any kind, it probably uses a tileset. Taiji looks like it uses fully custom painted textures though (except the puzzles of course).

Doritos*

@@fahlgorithm good point lemme fix that

It is indeed a game.

My brain has been rewired because of that game. I noticed it instantly.

I thought it was an actual puzzle lmao

Same

its more that he's very fast with puzzles that it becomes complicated to keep up with HIM. the great thing about puzzle games like these is you can take it at a leisurely pace to burn in the mechanics and the rules so they become second nature after a while

he jump cuts some initial thinking portions out so that gives you less time to think about the puzzle before he starts completing them

Yeah the flower ones were a bit confusing to me especially, like if there are 3 yellow and 1 purple in a square, how do you know whether to highlight the inner square or not? Stuff like that

@@subtopewdipie4159 In your case, if the inner square is highlighted, then 3 adjacent squares must be highlighted. If the inner square is NOT highlighted, then 3 adjacent squares must NOT be highlighted. The number of yellows indicates the number of adjacent squares highlighted/not highlighted.

What are you talking about

Forced squares do have functional effects though. They can force two squares to be different states, and force continuous areas. Many of the Individual areas puzzles (the bars/negatives/pipes) used forced squares to make almost the entire puzzle, with some puzzles changing only a few forced squares between them. I agree that using forced squares to give starting points and help choose easier states to solve from is top notch game design though. 👌

@@TlalocTemporal Maybe i wasn't clear enough. I meant that the forced squares in these two specific puzzles don't have any functional effects, not that forced squares in general have no functional effects.
