Sorry Matt, I’ll have to watch this one later. I’ve gone ’fission…’
hope the *boiling water* of the geysers isn't making you *react or*
12:57 I appreciated the MGMT jpeg. You were seen editor
called them their full government name
I honestly appreciate the amount of memes you use, once per video is a the right amount lol I giggle every time I hear 16 or any of others 😂
0:11 I wonder how Matt hasn't seen the strongest thing in his reactor right now.
"I"m not making space babies." What do you think pollen is used for?
Making plant babies is just much less troublesome.
"Pumping is really nice" - the wise words of Matt the Real Civil Engineer
Igniter is definitely the strongest shape they could use
play the game “a dark room”
Why does he never link the game in the description, it drives me mad!
Is it that hard to just search it up yourself
@sushimi_5866 Not the point at all.
The name is there on every video.
Dreading the day the editor realises the meme can be chopped up to say both "six" and "sixty" as well...
I mentioned that a while ago. Can easily be 6
Woohoo. Finally get to watch without having to go to work in the middle
from where is the "16" meme from xD
ruclips.net/video/XFdLaEoFPTY/video.htmlsi=QfTFfPhI_M6I-zYL
@zuyazhthank you so much xD that clip is sooo funny and finally i can understand the meme
@GravityZPlaythe one that says it says 16th, not 16
SIXTEEN likes
SIXTEEN!!!!
Love the ref to half life of the thumbnail
As an old man at 36 years, I appreciate the Crab People clip more than you know
9:29 it is bugging me so much that he hasn't separated the igniters...
Did Matt make a strongest shape joke. I must have missed it.
As someone who has been to many of the currently operating nuclear reactors in the United States.. this is exactly how it works.
Sixteen is the main reason why I watch these
Matt you want to use your mouse to spread out your igniters, they aren't doing any good being stacked in the middle
Clicker games have reached peak autism, i love it
Indie Game recommendation: Pathogenic
29:00 well technically😂
Pollen is absolutely space babies
Agreed.
he has an infinite supply of this same game with different skins.... it's wild
Watching during the yt servers exploding 🫰😔
The 16 meme... Going the way of GSP for me. Might as well start doing GTA5 videos and shorts.
@TFolseNuclear is going to have a conniption with this game...
Why does he not upgrade the fuel/second? it's literally 1/5 of the others (or less), but he upgrades everything else.
Can you play Minecraft again pls
watching this while AI takes my job
If you went on holiday, how many days or weeks till you have to record a video?
"Not great, not terrible" the reactor works fine 😂😂
Ngl I would buy the strongest shape t-shirt
Hey, you tricked me, that thumbnail looked like 40K reactor refueling!
How do you make every game look fun and when i play it its not as good:(
Anybody else develop an irrational hatred to the number 16?
"it's not actually quid"... It rarely is!
4:58
I think that there's something wrong and it shouldn't let you to keep everything after prestiege 😅
I was thinking the igniters looked rather… efficient :)
8:19 segmentation fault
haha
no reaction clip to 25:01??? missed oppurtunity
Him not using the bulk buying option until the very end is a peak architect move 😂
5:00 Matt made me lovin' this Meeme.
''once its gone, its gone'' thats how that works yeah
I wonder were the power of the sun is
In the palm of your hand, of course.
I came for the engineering and left for the mind numbing incremental games.
Same
I would suggest diapers before you activate auto-dump.
Nuclear science, We do what we must because we can
For the goooooood of allllllll of us
@DrChrisFexcept the ones who are dead
I understand all the ups of this, but 1:45 in and.... we are devolving into monkeys.
what I don't get by these games is there isn't really a final goal. As price and checkpoints go up it's just the same as when you started but faster, its just a cookie clicker. cool vid tho :)
But number go up!
@alexanderhenderson5583exactly wut I was gonna say, do u play warframe by any chance?
13:21
33
hello RCE will this be a vid where you don't miss read something XD
04:57 to 05:00 He's having his editor trick us now apparently. He hovered over the number 16 for a little bit before the horrid meme popped came up.
0:15 its never quid
85 comment ( hi rce if you read this i love your vids :) )
More engineering content. Let's go🎉🎉
Thank you RCE.
Your video is the highlight of my day
Day 179 of asking RCE to release the tabs of his songs
Every time i see Matt pick the most inefficient option mathematically i cringe a bit.
play geomatry dash
18u
Matt is suspiciously playing a lot of the games that DF is o_0
I’m here to witness “123,234 views”
13:43ish, that's not 2x it's 1.5x... c'mon matt, you're better than this!
Edit: Just realised he meant total with the 2 heaters, oops.
Hello i am architect.
I am here to spy on you
14 hours ago.
how old are u again?
It’s takes a turn like grun, completely different towards the end to the start, but just without the feel of grun nor the erieeness
Please don't become GrayStillPlays and just repeat mobileslop games with a few regular games in between..
eFISHent looking
I hope your art team is well paid for those awesome thumbnails! No chance you just use AI artwork.
Yeah, his videos about his card game also mention that the card artist is the thumbnail artist so it’s all good
5:00 SIXTEEN spoiler
4:59 Thats one of my favorite meme's. I get a little miffed when you miss that one, to be honest!
Day 188 of asking for super auto pets
Ok the prestige screen look straight up like an evangelion screen
Day 198 of Matt calling everything quid.
We've got a fision going on!! Oh, no it's just Matt playing with the nuclear reactor...
Seems like a good strategy would be to have just 1 igniter until you see it being completely surrounded by fuel constantly. Then when you have more than 1 igniter use the mouse to keep pushing them apart. An igniter touching another igniter gives you nothing, so you want them to be surrounded by fuel as much as possible.
Sure, but rarely in life do you ever have to get that precise. Ends up being not worth the effort to go out of your way to maximise everything for that last 2~5% gain.
@MysteriousStranger50 Yeah maybe it's not worth constant attention. But now and then if you see 3 igniters clustered together in the center it'd probably be worth giving them a push apart so some fuel can get between them.
You want more igniters than that though, as two igniters on one fuel will double the speed it’s consumed. Even if it isn’t perfectly efficient it would still be a lot faster (ofc in reality the perfect ratio of fuel to igniters is a lot more complicated than that, as it relies upon a number of other factors)
7:06
Kinda 2 33's
You can’t keep getting away with using 67 stop it right now go back to the old memes, please
game suggestion: ISEPS
another engineer from Chernobyl. oh, if only he knew where he lives. after this week, he probably will.
Does that mean that you can basically lock yourself out of progress if you generate 10 fuel and not a single ingniter that can make them into energy?
Pretty sure the Dump button clears all your stuff and refunds the material to you
Please play Space Warlord Alien Baby Trading Simulator
You try to make these more entertaining right ? Because you used to make videos of games by min maxing and playing very efficiently . Now its more blind and rage bait.
I alway laugh so much at the 16 joke for some reason! Please don’t stop! Much love RCE always love the videos
i love the 16 cut ❤❤❤ super nice video
It will be a sad day when I don’t see the 16 meme … I look forward to every video to see it
The 16 meme lives rent free in my head whenever I see that number in the real world now 😑
The en$hittification stops for nothing. No challenge, free currency to drive....upgrades. Add a tech tree if you're feeling like an overachieving developer. Player wins. These aren't games worth showcasing and it's much worse content than basically anything else you could play.
Crabs mentioned and SIXTEEN meme, hell yeah!
make sure to get it to SIXTEEN timberborners episodes ;-)
Disrespect to the guy who said first
I was watching another creator the other day, when he said 16, in my head I heard the meme, so thanks for that RCE.
SIXTEEN!! best meme
I'm amased he immediately realized more HP=more energy, considering DF didn't want to level up HP because he thought energy only comes after fuel is destroyed. And he never figured it out.
Like no. 4 hundred and SIXTEEN!!! lol
Where's T. Folse? I need to know how this compares to a real nuclear reactor. I need to know how everything compares to a real nuclear reactor.
4:58 warning 16 with no real meaning. At least 67 has a meaning
Nether of them really do.
@AndrewRosa-j8eI know was just making joke that's how bad it is
