So, one thing I've learned about myself is: I will totally procrastinate my own daily chores by watching someone else play a video game about chores...

Jon looking at a stack of books and saying "oh, now we're getting into the hardcore stuff" broke me

The thing in the cutlery drawer that you couldn't identify is a tea strainer. You press the metal bars together, the round strainer part opens so you can put in loose tea, and then you just put that in the cup of hot water.

So what happens to Jon's English citizenship if he doesn't know what a tea strainer is?

2:35 "its round like a vegetable" he says, while looking at a distinctly triangular carrot and a distinctly unvegetablelike round ball, and holding a 2nd distinctly unvegetablelike round ball. Never change Jon, I parasocially love you.

The pain of "this looks like a bad label in red" at first then figuring out the rest after...

You want to distribute the eggs equally on either side of the carton so that the weight is evenly balanced when you pick up and move the carton, or at least that's always my logic.

You put the forks in the spoon spot and you didn't even bat an eye. Jon you are a monster

Jon's endless passion for the intensely mundane is really endearing

I've been following MATN since Fallout 3 Kill Everything and this is probably the most I've ever yelled "NO JON, PLEASE" at my screen. Before he found the chopstick slot I almost had to leave the room

Jon! In Unpacking, there's actually an option to let items be placed anywhere. It isn't put on by default because it messes with the story a little like in the boyfriend level where there wasn't any wall space for the degree

Don’t give Jon a puzzle game where you can just refuse to solve the puzzle

I feel like this video shows two sides of Jon very well. There's the meticulous organization of the battery drawer. And then there's the unhinged chaos of mismatched shapes and Perception 0 on the silverware drawer!

Any % speedruns of this are going to be wild.

We have large forks and smaller forks, but we don't differentiate between "This one is for dessert and this one is for proper food," we just use whichever one we're in the mood for.

Jons tunnel vision is astonishing 🤣

So Jon now has to organize Teddy's toys, and he's taken to playing games about organizing Teddy's toys. This is wonderful

Watching this is both brilliant but also torture. My brain definitely works in similar ways to Jon's, but there are so many small things I'd do differently and it's torture to watch. I even ended up talking to my screen at one point as if he could hear me

With the egg box you want to have them distributed around the box so when you pick it up it isn't unexpectedly unbalanced.

The two-pronged stabby implement in the random stuff drawer was a seam ripper, I'm pretty sure

Jon's definition of a rainbow is physically painful sometimes. Or, I don't know, maybe I'm the problem? Is this a blue/black or white/gold situation where we just see colors differently?

Respect to Jon for finally going on the all-out offensive against everyone who ever claimed some ways he's playing games gives them anxiety. This is to me what a strobe light would be to an epileptic.

Egg boxes obviously must be arranged so they’re balanced equally to avoid the box spilling over when being put down. 3in the top left corner, 3 in the bottom right corner

Someone needs to make a horror game version of this where you start off with this pleasant symmetry with "a place for everything and everything in its place". But as you progress, it starts to mess with you. Areas for things start becoming more claustrophobic, and you don't actually have enough space for everything. I think that'd be fun to try and withstand for those who like organization and order but are stubborn.

24:23 The only British person who doesnt know thats utensil is for tea.

Unpacking had an accessibility option to let you place anything anywhere

I like the "Let It Be" option. But this also opens up a whole new world to me, that it needs an online connection so that if enough people "Let It Be" in related ways that an AI then says, "You know what, that must be a valid solution" and it creates an player's choice star. I'm astounded that a. Jon doesn't know what a fondue fork is, b. Jon doesn't know what a tea ball is, and c. Jon apparently doesn't buy flatware sets that have salad/desert forks. But yes, I agree that the measuring spoons DEFINITELY should stack. Or be on a ring to keep them together, in order of size.

We have dessert forks, I like them because one of the prongs on ours is made to be a little better for cutting through things, like using the side of it to cut through pie crust. It encourages more dessert eating 🎉 Also good for like chopped fruit as a snack or taking to school in a lunchbox.

I had to close the video after he arranged the kitchen utensils. I've never seen such madness on display. Doesn't know what a tea strainer is, puts the forks in the rounded compartments and the spoons in the square ones. HE'S MAD I TELL YOU!

Clearly the eggs should have been in a lovely zig zag formation 🥚 🥚 🥚 🥚 🥚 🥚 🥚

'now it's getting hardcore's, 'now it's getting tricky' - Steam tags that the developer did not expect

We all know Claire will ace this game in a couple minutes.

The spikey stabby thing in the last drawer was actually a fondue fork. Another fork you obviously didn't know about. :D

Everyone has a battery draw because a lot of things take batteries. It's a pretty simple solution, Jon.

That dessert fork is called a salad fork, my dude. Also known as the superior fork for all uses

They're salad forks, though also often used as desert forks. They come in a set when you get fancy silverwear, like when you're married. (round) knife, mains fork, salad fork, spoon is the default, plus soup spoon sometimes. If you're someplace where they're actually cheap, but trying to pretend to be fancy, they'll also stick a steak knife in too, but those are almost always separate in 'real' packs. There ARE desert forks (and desert spoons as well) but they're even smaller. Used to be called 'cake forks' but now occasionally called 'cocktail forks' - and often mistaken for your oyster or shrimp fork (aka, seafood fork, but only for use with shellfish) which is a separate thing. Speaking of things they used to do, they also used to have salad knives. Fancy places still do, but they don't actually expect you to use them - after all salads used to be finger food. But they don't do full plating anyway, they bring you the silverwear for your meal and whisk it away when that portion is done. You might also see a butter knife if you have a bread plate, and a teaspoon for, you guessed it, tea. Though normally the tea spoon is more a feature of high tea than a meal. Gone are the separate fish knife vs. meat knife though - everyone just provides what you'd consider a steak knife. And absolutely NONE of this makes ANY sense and it's completely stupid and the only reason for any of it is to impress people and give the servers something to talk about that is casually interesting and not weather related ... from someone who had to occasionally provision a formal dinner or two.

12:10 JON!! Why in the world would you put the 'green with blue book' next to the 'yellow book', and the 'green with yellow book' next to the 'blue book'?! Switch those around right now!

Oh the shame of Jon not knowing what a loose tea strainer is

isn't the smaller fork a salad fork? also, in america, most silverware sets have teaspoons, tablespoons, Dinner forks, and, again, I think they're called Salad forks... but I could be wrong 🙃though it should be stated, we don't realy care wich one we use.

I am going to be honest, I kinda hate the "let it be" button. lol

This is one of those games that is perfect for mobile phones rather than pc.

I've owned desert forks all my life, but to be fair I also use them for stuff like lunch and appetizers.

A great game played by a great person

34:54 - Yeah, the idea that someone would have a specially made compartment in their junk drawer to fit tape measure with the tape sticking out an inch and a quarter is asinine, instead of, you know retracting the tape completely.

In the cutlery draw, the thing you didn't know what it was, is one of those cages for loose tea

holy shit. watching the cutlery draw was absolute pain.

Is it just me or did Jon just make a physical representation of the Kinsey scale out of pasta?

24:33 "I don't know what that is." Oh Jon, at this point you're just asking for people to tease you.

almost unsubbed when Jon put the forks in the rounded draw area and the spoons in the square draw area

Not only do I have dessert forks, I also have small spoons. I thought EVERYONE had big and small spoons and forks on hand.

Oh Jon. You aren't the barbarian. I am. I not only don't own a dessert fork, I don't even own any drawer organizers.

This game brings my attention to something that I feel is underappreciated. The main menu looks like the titlecard of a cartoon. I find that fascinating and underutilized.

All the people watching who don’t know that Jon is a sentient carton of eggs won’t understand his deep knowledge of how they should be arranged 😂😂

I love how as soon as I heard about this game, I thought to myself that Jon was totally gonna make a video on it, and then he releases said video *the very same day*. I may be just a tiny bit psychic.

I do own a dissert fork and spoon, I prefer using them to the full size counterpart. My grandmother used to collect them from countries around Europe, and she started it when they where actually made of silver :P

Love it when Jon has a chance to lean into the egg memes!

I own two full sets of dessert forks, and two full sets of dessert spoons. What do you take me for, a farmer?

27:25 random spiking implement is a stitch ripper. For cutting stitches and seams out of clothes /fabric

Jon in the US standard cutlery sets come with two sizes of spoon two sizes of fork and butter knives. The smaller fork is a salad or appetizer fork. “first course” essentially.

for an egg carton, i alternate them diagonally like ' , ' , ' , so that when you pick-up the box, it's not off-balance, and the eggs fall, or you drop the box...

To answer your question, Jon, I can confirm that I do indeed own dessert forks.

"This is clearly food in the kitchen" I saw it as miniature terrain basement.

Dessert forks, absolutely.

No!!! Jon you have to arrange the eggs so that the weight is evenly distributed regardless of how you pick up the carton!!

La, sir. But naturally we have dessert forks. Next you'll expect us to believe you are unfamiliar with the butter knife. Preposterous!

For the eggs the way I do it is to evenly distribute them so when you grab it it’s not heavier on one side…so 2 left, 2 right and 2 in the middle

this is such a granny game. it's a good thing.

"It's round, like a vegetable." Um, Jon, you do know most vegetables aren't actually round, right? :P

I finally know what to call the arrangement of stuff in my house! "Let It Be"

16:49 Jon the egg carton wins the egg carton war.

Jon must have hell of a mood swings while one week he plays two "for proper day" games: one is this and the other is Hot Line Miami

This was fun!! Yes, I do have dessert forks! They came with the cutlery set I bought years ago! 🙂 I use them most of the time in place of regular sized forks.

I saw it on the direct and imidetlay went "that's a jon game"

yeah, small 'dessert' forks are quite common here in Belgium. Pretty standard also usefull when kids come to visit.

I remember seeing this being revealed during Summer Games Fest. Looked relaxing then, still does now.

The only proper way to arrange a partial egg carton in my busted brain is to keep it balanced so one side isn’t heavier than the other!

I got 1 minute into the video and went and bought the game, then came back and watched the rest XD

I know it's weird, but on the puzzle around 24:56 it bugs me that the spoons and forks are not in swapped slots. Why put forks in a round slot? It's just chaos.

we do have dessert forks, because this household is a cake household, and you can't get serious about eating cake regularly without dessert forks.

"we want the cracks in the back" yeah yeah I know where the door is.....

I don't know anyone who DOESN"T have teaspoon-sized forks! They are used for eating cake

Wow, great timing considering this was in the Nintendo indie world direct on the same day.

I liked the orange's brief foray into supermarket prison tattoo territory...

Omg I just finished fully completing unpacking and wow I loved that game so much

17:19 you had to pick the one sticker you needed to test throwing one out...

this game is like cat nip for people

I don't know anybody that doesn't own desert forks. To us Germans who like eating cake or pie every weekend those are mandatory, culinarily speaking.

I have a pickle fork and a grape spoon. So I feel like desert forks aren't too uncommon.

The ball pliers thing in the utensil drawer is a tea strainer. Squeezing the handle separates the halves of the wire ball. Put tea (or coffee I guess) in the ball and it clamps shut when you let go. Kind of like the tea strainers on chain, but you can stir with it instead of just bob it up and down

I wouldn't necessarily play this game myself (not for very long, anyway), but watching you play it is just lovely.

Jon those things you're calling "baking cups", by which I assume you mean measuring cups, are actually measuring spoons.

i'll probably just click "let it be" for every puzzle because that's how i tidy things up: randomly lol

The cat toy one triggered my PTSD!

I have dinner forks, salad forks, *and* dessert forks.

While it might also not be the intended solution, the best way to organise eggs in the carton is to put them in the middle if you put eggs on the door or on the forward facing end if putting it on a shelf sideways. The reason for this is to balance the weight. For six eggs, you fill the four middle spaces. Then, the two extra eggs you put on opposite sides of middle with one egg in the front sit and one in the back slot. The idea is that when you grab the eggs from the end, the weight will be on the end you grab, while you're more likely to grab the middle of the carton when removing it from a door shelf. By balancing the weight in this way, there's far less chance of accidentally dropping the carton.

You would think an egg carton would understand balancing an egg carton, but no

i have dissert forks but there mostly just used for my kid sister if were out of coffee spoons then i use them for stirring my coffee too because there mostly spoon shaped

16:42 This triggered me so bad. You need to keep the eggs orientated around the center so you can't grab the wrong end and have the carton fall out of your hand because one side was weighted more than the other!! Anything else is blasphemy.

As soon as you said you can come up with your own solution I was sold. The one downside I had for Unpacking and why I never finished it was that it had intended solutions. Not a problem for some things, but a good number of items had very specific places that weren't intuitive. This is much better to my mind in that regard.

I own dessert forks... They're great on the breakfast table to grab slices of ham or similar things...
