    The Answer is 42 is a simple, minimalist mathematics puzzler where your only goal is to draw a path through numbers so they total to (you guessed it) 42. It's simple dude, just make them be 42, I don't know why you're being so weird about it.

    NL has two moods:
    "I'm the absolute greatest gamer of all time, I am literally gaming personified, you cannot compete with me WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, I AM."
    "This is literally impossible you're asking me to do something that it just can't be done there was nothing I could do, dude. What do you want me to do??? I'm doing the same thing over and over again WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO???"

    • @Adderkleet
      @Adderkleet 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      While Level 12 was a straight-forward level that NL just got stuck on, Level 20 is bizarrely designed. There's an easy 42, with no clear indication of why it's not a valid answer. A notice like "use them all", or "use X minimum" would help that.

    this reminds me of a game called LYNE but instead of numbers guiding where you need to go, the colors themselves guide you where you need to go. with this game, there's tricks like multiple touches to a square to get to 42; in LYNE it's just multiple touches to a "hub" that has to hold a certain amount of connections to it.

    numbers available to solve this equation: -9 -3 and 32
    And NL, in his infinite wisdom, tries to combine -9 and 32 several times before concluding that it's simply impossible to sovle the level!

      I believe it's a reference to Dark Souls. Resin is an item that you can apply to your weapon to add (I think) a lightning effect. It makes combat much easier for a short time; and is considered by many to be an overpowered game mechanic.

    • @dfcsingh
      @dfcsingh 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The above answer is exactly right! As further context, friend of the channel and Big Brother winner Dan Gheesling refuses to use resin in Dark Souls and as such it has become the Greater NLSS' word for anything in any game that makes the game too easy.
