      To me it was very clear that the mergers only made letters right side up, when he made the U it was obvious.

      I think the game is great and honestly I was just cringing at NL not being able to figure out the T because the recipe made so much sense to me, I think it’s just one of those person-to-person things (and NL is famously bad with rotating shapes)

      He was expecting to manipulate shapes and in some cases that's what you're doing (upside down L or V are not letters, just shapes). There's nothing logical about mergers needing to produce legal letters. I'm with him on this one. I'm also with him for order of inputs not mattering. Those rules are turning the game from a creative logic puzzle into a guess the recipe game, which is fine but not what I (or he, apparently) was expecting or find fun.

    • @TheThursty100
      @TheThursty100 Год назад +8

      The main rule that gets overlooked here is, that it only creates legal letters. Never upside down, never sideways, only right side up.
      So an L and a flipped L can never make a T because the lines are at the bottom, but T has them at the top.
      It's a very boxy U and you can argue that it's not a good recipe but it will never create an upside down T regardless.
      In fact, he got the right solution early on, fumbled the wiring and didn't change the wiring at all. He noticed he didn't change anything and deleted everything instead of going with his initial idea.
      Although maybe an upside down L and - would also create an F instead of an T. But he didn't even get to the F

I mean how many times do you want to make a B after you've learned how to make it once? It's a lot of repetition which kills the better part of the game which is the discovery of making the right letter shapes.
    Honestly the game might have been more fun if you just had to make certain symbols that didn't necessarily need to be letters, and then have enough different symbols to make it interesting.

      Disagree. You're merging shapes together to create a letter. Not creating a letter that doesn't exist. The other steps aren't creating anything. Feed it normal, correctly oriented inputs like a sane person first instead of doing it after. I genuinely don't understand how people think it's logical to feed it C + I to make a D instead of I + Ↄ like how it would be properly constructed.
