I think the issue is he tends to get close to the solution by brute forcing random things so he doesn't actually know when he's closer to the solution.
You know you watch NL too often when you creep yourself out upon hearing him say "Here's the thing" at 8:20 and immediately responding, without any conscious forethought and in perfect harmony with the man himself: "Brother". Ryab is truly the Pavlov to my dog, and his bits, the bell that feeds my anticipatory salvation.
I suppose if it's between you looking up the solution and ending the series I'd rather you look up the solution but now you've done that once it'll be a crutch that you'll keep leaning on even when you don't have to because it'll make you give up quicker.
@Brandon Bevill And why exactly do you think it's my fault? Just because I mentioned it while the writing was already on the wall doesn't mean I had anything to do with it.
he really spent 5 minutes on the tutorial level despite understanding exactly what the function did instantly and understanding there was only 1 rule and 2 objects.
He doesn't get the 2 where you're supposed to just try a lot of possibilities to learn the concepts. But his newfound ability to not give up right before the solution is paying off. Edit: but then I watched the last puzzle.
26:40 Oh my word... He's figuring it out... And he did it on his own... Oh my word, is he about to win? 27:02 *THE ABSOLUTE, DERANGED, LUNATIC! HE'S DONE IT!* Let's gooooooooo!
Ill be honest, that first solution was way beyond my thought process. The entire time i was like "How can you possibly make tree not stop.. if tree _is_ stop?
I think his thought process was throwing you off because he has a very poor understanding of the mechanics so he tries leads that you shouldn't waste your time with which causes him to not see the elements of the puzzle that matter. That then leads to him tunnel visioning on the wrong elements and then finally giving up when they reach an inevitable dead end. That's what happened here at least, he forgot that he was trying to solve the issue of 'flag is stop' so heavily that he literally wrote 'flag is stop' a second time and convinced himself he had to disrupt the trees.
Real talk, I never would have guessed you could use the belt shift to put something on top of you that's not supposed to be able to pass you. Not without either of you exploding at least.
Yeah that one took me about an hour to get, I solved accidentally after making Flag Is Push and Belt Is Shift then pushing the flag into the belt in the opposite direction. imo that puzzle doesn't teach that mechanic well. Especially after conditioning you to think Stop is impassable no matter what.
Ironic the other day in Issac he was saying his enjoyment of games doesn't come from beating a boss or winning the game but from the difficulty and overcoming it...
@16:35 solves puzzle, but thinks he didn't. Gets frustrated and starts over. So much overthinking. *edit* I was wrong. For some reason I thought the mushroom disappeared. *end edit* Lots of great solves this ep.
Wait, so if you push a melt on to a hot, both of them die and not just the melt? If so I can't believe egg didn't see that solution... It was mt first thought of what to try.
Yeah that's not the solution at all. The melt and hot elements of this puzzle are to PREVENT certain solutions and have nothing to do with winning. All he did there was destroy the belt, what did you think he did to solve it?
14:30 can we talk about your reasoning here please? I need to understand what went wrong in your sokoban processing unit to think that a) the puzzle was hard at that point & b) that pushing something against a wall unnecessarily is ever a good idea
Seriously, what the fuck. Legitimately one step.away from the solution, it's right fuckin in front of him, right up in his face, incredibly obvious, and yet the glaucoma prevails.
So yes, he did manage to not reset the level when he was one step away from winning in the video, but he also ended the entire episode when he was one step away from winning, so I think he balanced out his accomplishments here.
Lock The Door: I haven't solved this one myself yet, but I'm certain "Baba is Shift" is part of the solution. Literally one step away on that last puzzle. All he had to do was have flag and win together so he could pull two pieces of text at the same time and it would have worked.
On this episode, the egg somehow gets scrambled on a tutorial level. "Every puzzle in this game is the lisa simpson cereal box puzzle" ah, right. The "one thing" that you don't grasp just happens to be everything. Good work on the keke is swap puzzle though
So a thing I like to do is to play the levels that nl plays while I'm watching it. Swap level took me about 4 seconds and I had to wait so long for NL that I'm writing this comment.
Oh the sweet release of solutions. Only one NL hint today. Again I don't own these games and am solving them with you, brother. Last puzzle: I am a bit unsure but what happens if you get "swap and pull" where and is on top of a skull and then combine that with "text is ___" then pull that?
There is no shame in using the guides NL, I prefer you admitting that you are stuck, reading the guide and learning instead of you just skipping ahead and getting stuck on the next one because of the same problem. NL admitting defeat every now and then gives me a sense of relief, sounds weird but it improves the videos as long as there is a good balance
He's so tunneling on making Flag is Stop when Flag is already stop by default... It's moments like these that make me want to scream at the screen. Not to mention that it had nothing to do with the solution anyway! What would you even get by pushing the flag inside?! This man thinks literally 0 steps ahead.
I mean, no point in hair being pull if there's no hair in the level. Useless you're pulling someone else's hair to let off steam, which just seems needlessly cruel. Edit: Actual progress, Egg is Win, thanks for the company.
'I love our new solution meta' as in you literally just mess around for 10 minutes and then look up the full solution Edit: Alright I see that you addressed my comment seconds later but these puzzles aren't meant to be beaten in 10 minutes.
I mean...that depends on the puzzle. Some are meant to be beaten in seconds. He's been stuck on more than one tutorial level, for instance that first swap puzzle he looked up the answer to.
@@strifera True but my point is he gives up too early. I think some of it stems from the fact that he brute forced the early levels so much that he barely learned the basic mechanics which causes him to get completely tangled up and shut down.
16:34 "well I wouldn't recommend that one" literal peen ripping off throwing into orbit ripping hair out facepalming moment of the year.... Literally one step from solving it and nl's brain goes nope that's wrong... lol
Nope, the belt got destroyed the fungus was still there, NL is correct that doing so didn't achieve anything except destroy one of his resources. [Hot ] objects destroys objects that IS [Melt] but not the other way around.
No, that is not how the syntax of this game works. You could make an object be both push and shift either with "AND" (which isn't in the level or like so) [object] IS [Push] IS [Shift] but [object] IS [Push][Shift] only result in [object] IS [Push]
"baba is swap" what happens if you move baba onto the swap tile? Oh, it only took being swapped with EVERY other possible tile and checking the hints to realize.
What's the point if you're just gonna read the solutions online after 5 minutes tho, it's fine if you're playing on your own but recording yourself basically re-creating solutions from someone else is like what?
@@godlyvex5543 he would have swapped with the text, INTO the skull. He needed an extra block of text outside of the skulls to pull in, THAT's what allows the skulls to be swapped. Things can't be swapped with eachother when they occupy the same square, it's when they're next to eachother and try to occupy the same square that they swap.
The tunnel vision is too fucking real egg. You keep solving like 90% of the puzzle then you restart because it isn’t exactly what you think the answer is.
Paul S he did but it looked like the fungus didn’t disappear it was still under him there might be two stacked I haven’t done the level yet on mine so I’m not 100 percent, but he need to get the big otherwise they wouldn’t put it there
Ryan. Lock the Door Forest level 11... you melted the fungus with the belt. Go back to that and think about it but do NOT reset. You are getting better man you're SO close but there's super frustration in you. Keep trying you will ascend!

Thank god he actually figured it out. I thought for sure he was going to restart.
I was about ready to throw my phone at the wall if he didn't notice.
@@Gaschdisturbed I audibly went "what the hell dude" when he just stared at it for five seconds
@@Iyvanna "What now dude?" Maybe not pushing the win block to the wall where you can't get it back?
I'm glad you are finally self-aware about how you get one step from the solution and quit...
I think the issue is he tends to get close to the solution by brute forcing random things so he doesn't actually know when he's closer to the solution.
Everybody’s talking about how the title is “Hair is Pull” and Egg is bald.
But your head hair isn’t the only hair on your body.

Big oof for pulling pubes in rage
Cock hair snap
What if egg is actually perfectly bald and has no hair on his body and is smooth af (literally)

Nl, mostly i wanna say thanks. Thank you so much for resisting your urge to restart.
Egg beginning: get to the flag but the flag is stop
Also egg : the flag is no longer stop
Game: bottom right flag is stop

That swap puzzle is world 1 material. It's almost *too* easy.
Tunnnel vision.
it's more of a introduction than a puzzle
tunnnel? tunnel.
He doesn't get the 2 where you're supposed to just try a lot of possibilities to learn the concepts. But his newfound ability to not give up right before the solution is paying off.
Edit: but then I watched the last puzzle.
Hair is Pull
Egg is Bald
Spare text is “has”
Egg has Hair
Doesn’t work because upper left is Egg is Bald And Has No Hair.
I haven't watched the video yet, but I know for a fact that he will be one step away from solving a puzzle and give up. That's why we love you Ryab
Him struggling with the swap puzzle at 20 minutes really makes me question his sanity.
someone, please, my egg, he is very sick
26:40 Oh my word... He's figuring it out... And he did it on his own... Oh my word, is he about to win?

95% of the time, if it looks like you can't do something in Baba Is You, you can't do something. The remaining 5% is bs text stacking puzzles.
Real talk, I never would have guessed you could use the belt shift to put something on top of you that's not supposed to be able to pass you. Not without either of you exploding at least.
@@strifera I wouldn't go that far. A lot of the levels require you to do creative things to win.

Especially after conditioning you to think Stop is impassable no matter what.

Bless NL
first swap puzzle demonstrates the same tunnel vision that NL has playing StS
Actually painful to watch
Brunoha To be fair the game has conditioned into him that stuff in the corner is untouchable and that was his first time seeing swap
@@timvvs while i dont disagree, he still tries to go for the trees when tree is stop and surrounded by trees like in the belt puzzle
8:35 FFS EGG, flag HAS ALWAYS BEEN STOP. THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
That's literally the reason this thing is an actual puzzle.
In this episode...
... I wonder if Baba ever becomes You
When I heard "what now?" I started having a stroke
This one was a rollercoaster

But egg winning is new.

Empty is pull, duh.

Chest is full.
It's not NL pulling his hair. It's us.
There is plenty of other places where hair grows. Very painful when you pull the hair on your toes

Nice.
That's a very eks dee moment.

14:05 how do you stare at this screen, about to solve the puzzle, and suddenly conclude that you need to do something else?

If you put push and shift it next to eachother it says "Push shift". Is this something you can actually utilize?
