It's funny. I'll happily let a room slowly slide into utter chaos, but give me a box of assorted Magic cards and I'll happily spend hours sorting them according to six different criteria.
Lol, same! Out of curiosity, what criteria do you use to sort? I sort by card rarity, card type, color, converted mana cost, and then finally alphabetically. Though that method does screw me over as soon as Wizards makes a new card type like when they print colored artifacts or mix instant and sorcery on the same card, so I'm wondering if you happen to have a more resilient way of sorting.
@@jamescolvin8429 I go rarity, color, CMC, mana cost (thus including colored symbols,) most recent expansion, and name. Type doesn't enter into it; by the time I'm looking at specific cards, it's fairly narrowed down.
Ah, that makes sense. I tell myself I need to find the cards later for making decks/a cube (not that I ever do, lol) which is why I set it up by type when I'm looking for specific interactions.

i suck at organizing in real life, but i love doing that kind of thing in video games. i absolutely made a huge list of where i could find all the resources in dragon age inquisition and how, using which advisor, and where they were most common, etc (one color for each thing - i ended up needing a lot of pens to get all those colors). also, spending the destiny 2 cookie event just making a diagram of what ingredients i need for each one of them and who it goes for. i KNOW that stuff is already online but i don't care i'm still gonna have a pretty and color-coded list or whatever for it! it just looks really nice and i like to do it, i gotta choose which color to use for what thing, etc, it's great, i don't care if it's technically unnecessary
stardew's popularity has always been interesting to me, i find it super stressful bc of the fact that time is a limited resource. i prefer minecraft where u don't have to worry abt how fast days and seasons go by
it's not THAT stressful, because you have as many days as you want, but having a tiny bit of stress is good, because it drives you to make an objectively better farm for time management reasons. all the things that make pretty inventories fun applies to making farms nicely organized. when your organization makes you more efficient, it's exciting to be able to do more and more in a day. also, i think the time stress slowly builds on you right? in a slow and reasonable way? at first, you are really weak, and tire out easily, and can't really make it through a whole day. (well, your tools are weak, but it amounts to the same thing). so you aren't stressed by time, you are limited by energy, and when it's out, you restart. so time as a limit, rather than work, doesn't jump out of nowhere and ambush you. also, you get to organize your time! if you do all the critical upkeep stuff in the morning when you wake up, you have the entire rest of the day to work on long term projects that you don't necessarily expect to finish that day. at least, i never got to a point where daily upkeep took so much of the day that it was stressful.
@@keysmash_roa actually in my current world that i just started i don't have a bed yet and i like it bc i can use the night to do stuff i can't do in the day

I get that! I tried it and enjoyed the mechanics but would get so overwhelmed by how short the days are and the real penalties that happen if you try to work through the night
It's probably bc, in Animal Crossing, it's easy to get horribly rich through the stock market, while in the real world, attempting to multiply your money through stocks is insanely risky.
Okay, I love the fact that you guys put that little squiggle as “Libra” and “sailor’s knot”, because I put it down as “angel-hair pasta” so it it goes in the pasta subsection of my food category!
When I conisder how I organize the files in my PC vs how little care I give to anything I have on my cellphone... Man, a meme is the least important thing until you are having a conversation where it's relevant and you suddenly remember it and want to share it.
I love that you brought up skyrim's inventory system as less enjoyable when I literally just took 2 hours to organize my (300hr+) save's house with thousands of different items and I loved every minute of it, separating each category of item per each area of the house, plus placing my favourite armor and weapons on racks for them to bee seen everytime I enter that space felt rewarding af. And yes I am one of those "why not keep it" guys
Tiago Coelho - I prefer Fallout in general but Skyrim’s houses do make shuffling items away in their proper spaces so satisfying. And I’m even worse because I set my carryweight to 5000 at the start of every game so I end up with a lot of garbage I don’t want to let go of
I used a mod house that has a bunch of bookshelves so I have a spreadsheet of all the books I want to collect and what topic they are about so when I finish my list I can place them all on the shelves in sections like empire history, aedra/daedra, dragons, fiction, dwemer, etc. It will be so satisfying when my library is complete.
I find more satisfaction in singular inventory management in Skyrim. Never call a place home. There's never a place you "hang your hat" because you keep it on you at all times. That way, when you have unnecessary items, you either drop em or sell em, and you never have to worry about too much stuff.
I didn't want to do schoolwork so I organized my room. Then my room got too messy so I started playing Stardew Valley. Later in Stardew Valley there were so many things to do so I just focused on my vegetable garden in real life. I wonder what stage is next...?

@@Madhattersinjeans So you've never known the joy of having Somewhat More Organised stacks of boxes? Of having the equivalent of labeled Minecraft chests in real life? Mama Mia...
I just downloaded Wilmot's warehouse yesterday, and my ADHD self was actually able to focus on it so much I lost track of time, especially the untimed sections when you get to just organize.
I believe that virtual streamer organized everything upside down because the attache case technically upside down from our viewpoint, if that makes any sense. I guess sorting things in games by our real life logic is one way to do it.
I have ADHD and when I worked at a grocery store deli, my favorite task was restocking the drink cooler. Something about lining things up and facing them and having things organized in my own little system just makes my brain so happy. I also used to work in a mail room and sorting mail does the same thing for me. But sorting my own stuff just makes me overwhelmed and I DON'T KNOW WHY.
am i the only one where cleaning- doing repetitive matience, picking up after a project, etc. is super stressful, but organizing is only stressful if i cant do it completely?
In dicey dungeons, you need organize your attack moves just like resident evil 4's inventory. It forces you to strategize your attack options a lot whenever you learn a new move or get an equipment.
This is exactly why I've spent hours frustratedly trying to organize all my stuff in Minecraft, and then wonder why I haven't actually progressed in Minecraft. I'm supposed to be mining obsidian and going to the Nether but instead I'm feverishly constructing a separate building aside from my house to just house chests.
I can't describe how incredibly much I wish irl inventories had organised lists omg ... I literally just itemized my entire pantry last month because of wanting this so bad
2:54 Actually she is organizing it the correct way, look where the handle of the bag is. When you hold the bag in your hand by the handle the items are in correct orientation.
Ahh yes, this good good Clayton content is exactly what I needed today 😌 Also this video is fascinating and so well put together! I really appreciate the more serious game-design-analysis side of Polygon!
shoutout to all my other ADHD havers out there with messy rooms bc cleaning in real life is too overwhelming a task but who obsessively manage inventories in games bc it's a smaller, easier task and incredibly satisfying to be able to organize SOMETHING
Great video. Always happy to see Wilmot's get attention. Also, my Animal Crossing storage, Destiny vault, and collection of external hard drives are all full.
I've spent 2 hours on Wilmot's Warehouse and I didn't even notice that much time passing. It's so satisfying reorganising the stuff and deciding on how to group new unlocks
7:20 That's not right, Death Stranding had missions that kinda required manual inventory sorting. Sometimes it helps on certain terrains, like avoiding building a tower so that the wind doesn't blow against your cargo.
Expected it to be about revolution. At first I was a little disappointed, but I don't think it's possible not to enjoy this video no matter what you expected.
I had gotten around to organizing my clothes in my drawer a few weeks ago and while I won't get into ALL the details finding pants or a shirt, or socks has gotten WAY easier now.
Hastily trying to get your pals' uninsured Good Shit to fit in your own bag in Escape From Tarkov while hearing bullets in the distance was really one of my most favourite experiences, honestly
I would Love if my fridge acted like that kind of inventory system. I would put So many non food based items in there. Imagine freshly laundered and still warm clothes being selected from your refrigerator in the middle of winter!
I love Wilmot's warehouse! I organised it completely based on color: Big columns based on the background color and then from top to bottom organised based on the item's main color
Something that I think might be related in RPGs especially is gathering and organizing quests. One thing I like to do sounds kind of like what Natalie Schrier says by getting as many tasks as I can and sorting them by importance to the main story and by general locations that they're asking me to travel to. I just finished playing Pillars of Eternity and as much as I loved the story and characters, my favorite things was that it had great pacing with the quests especially when you get to the hub areas with the number and complexity of the tasks given without feeling too overwhelmed. My brain loves the rush of clearing out all my tasks in one fell swoop. Just wish I could take my game tasking and apply it more to real life tasks...
best inventory system in a game is pathologic 2, resident evil 4 style except the items are so vitally important and you cant carry all of them and its wonderfully stressful and satisfying
when my girlfriend played RE4, every time she got a new weapon she handed the controller to me and let me reorganize the case. it soothed my ADHD Virgo mind SO MUCH
Flipping ammo boxes around in Resi4 so the back of the box is facing up is the best because the solid colours are much more vibrant and pleasing and distinct than the tiny text and logos on the front
You know, it’s good to know I’m not the only one that actually has fun organizing my inventory in RE4. They should never have moved away from a system similar to this
There's a sink for washing dishes where I work, and I have a very particular way I like to organize the dishes on the dishrack after I've rinsed them off. A bastard coworker of mine constantly moves my clean dishes around after I've already put them up and reorganizes them on the dishrack. Can someone explain why I feel overwhelmed with bloodlust when he does this?

Clayton, did Tara’s well-documented love of inventory management inspire this video?
I've spent 2 hours on Wilmot's Warehouse and I didn't even notice that much time passing. It's so satisfying reorganising the stuff and deciding on how to group new unlocks
7:20 That's not right, Death Stranding had missions that kinda required manual inventory sorting. Sometimes it helps on certain terrains, like avoiding building a tower so that the wind doesn't blow against your cargo.
Expected it to be about revolution.
At first I was a little disappointed, but I don't think it's possible not to enjoy this video no matter what you expected.
i would love a full tour of simone's warehouse
I had gotten around to organizing my clothes in my drawer a few weeks ago and while I won't get into ALL the details finding pants or a shirt, or socks has gotten WAY easier now.
Organising and labelling all my Minecraft stuff was... More satisfying than I expected it to be
I love that Korone was in this video. Her reaction to the wolverine enemy was beautiful
And then these people discovered the Sims 4 Debug menu.
Hastily trying to get your pals' uninsured Good Shit to fit in your own bag in Escape From Tarkov while hearing bullets in the distance was really one of my most favourite experiences, honestly
I just have vague categories that I barely even follow and just remember where things are
Was NOT expecting a polygon video to mention Korone, but i am very pleased it did.
I would Love if my fridge acted like that kind of inventory system. I would put So many non food based items in there. Imagine freshly laundered and still warm clothes being selected from your refrigerator in the middle of winter!
I love Wilmot's warehouse! I organised it completely based on color: Big columns based on the background color and then from top to bottom organised based on the item's main color
Virtual hoarding: I feel called out
KORONE IN A POLYGON VIDEO????
I KNOW, RIGHT?
i sat there for a second in shOCK
@@cannacae cant believe clayton is part of the yubi yubi gang
The ultimate combination of Tetris and Jenga in the real world is being in order selector for a grocery store warehouse
Something that I think might be related in RPGs especially is gathering and organizing quests. One thing I like to do sounds kind of like what Natalie Schrier says by getting as many tasks as I can and sorting them by importance to the main story and by general locations that they're asking me to travel to. I just finished playing Pillars of Eternity and as much as I loved the story and characters, my favorite things was that it had great pacing with the quests especially when you get to the hub areas with the number and complexity of the tasks given without feeling too overwhelmed. My brain loves the rush of clearing out all my tasks in one fell swoop. Just wish I could take my game tasking and apply it more to real life tasks...
Why did I have to be confronted with the phrase ‘organization porn’ today
best inventory system in a game is pathologic 2, resident evil 4 style except the items are so vitally important and you cant carry all of them and its wonderfully stressful and satisfying
As a geologist, big respect for that collection of fossils, rocks, and minerals you keep, Clayton.
The personal preference aspect of organizing is the #1 reason I wanted to fight my coworkers at my last job
when my girlfriend played RE4, every time she got a new weapon she handed the controller to me and let me reorganize the case. it soothed my ADHD Virgo mind SO MUCH
Flipping ammo boxes around in Resi4 so the back of the box is facing up is the best because the solid colours are much more vibrant and pleasing and distinct than the tiny text and logos on the front
I straight up sighed in Nostalgia at that D2 inventory. That was my childhood right there
You know, it’s good to know I’m not the only one that actually has fun organizing my inventory in RE4. They should never have moved away from a system similar to this
RE4 inventory is perfection
This video was just so satisfying overall... I love the idea of organizing in games, and I’m so pumped about that warehouse game
me in skyrim hoarding potions that I will "definitely need"
THEY BROUGHT BACK THE RESIDENT EVIL 4 INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The thing about video games is also that the items are meant to fit into the space. Nothing is gonna be just 5mm to large for the shelf.
I see that Hobonichi 2019 poster on your fridge, Polygon host... Explains a lot about why this whole video is about organization! ^^
Hey, nice spot. Also his name's Clayton.
This legitimately helped me with direction on the kind of game i want to make! Thank you to everyone involved for the inspiration!
There's a sink for washing dishes where I work, and I have a very particular way I like to organize the dishes on the dishrack after I've rinsed them off. A bastard coworker of mine constantly moves my clean dishes around after I've already put them up and reorganizes them on the dishrack. Can someone explain why I feel overwhelmed with bloodlust when he does this?
I'm dying to see Simone's full Warehouse tour
Meanwhile bdg has tons of random paintings in his house all over
Someone in the writing department really love Virtual RUclipsrs.
Cultist Simulator would have been another great addition to this video
Oh good, I was worried Wilmot's Warehouse wasn't going to come up
Remember Help the Hero?
That online flash game that was just literally just organizing the inventory of an RPG hero?
The people who have never ever run out of inventory space in minecraft are gods and should be worshipped forever and ever and basically ever
