Painting shouldn't be this puzzling! 

One of the best videogame plot twists? Possibly!

I thought maybe the woman had dementia and couldn't remember that the old man was her husband, and was fully prepared to be sad at the end...but that was pretty nice

9:02 the fact that Matt didn't see the strongest shape drawn by the cat is disappointing

I like how it took that woman FOUR days to paint four different colors on a painting she had already sketched out where to paint.

I am always down for more "Matt with time story"

So the old man was Jack and she was the painting of his old love interest. Neat

That JACK struggle towards the end gave me one of the loudest laughs I've had in a while.

"I'm one of those weirdos who only eat one food on their plate first" I caught a stray bullet

Day 5 of asking Matt to play SpaceFlight Simulator.

Nothing better than coming home from a long day of engineering to watch RCE engineer the strongest shape 😌

Imagine if it actually worked and I could for example think while scribbling and then the precise design or painting would appear.

This game would totally work with VR.

Day 26 of asking Matt to pretty pretty please bring back Freeways. Like so Matt can see this

I used to think the same thing about writing as a child! I also thought that if you connected the lines that was cursive, so my parents have old “letters” from me in fancy “cursive” writing! 😂

The start with the radio and cassette resonated with me so hard it's scary. I have a 9-year-old and just because I know she can't stand it I will start with "Back in my day" just for her reactions and every time it's worth it.

Day 122 of asking RCE to make a new minecraft world.

seeing the cassette tape just brought me back to my childhood 😄 and the irritation of when a friend (or your sibling) had borrowed one and didn't rewind it after 😂

Day 32 of asking RCE to play Scrap Mechanic

as an artist i can confirm that it is much more puzzling in real life

Love how for the cassette tape you just overlaid Rule Britannia over the original music.

”Ohh they’re coffee cups, not semicircles” had me wheezing

Never disappoints love the videos always laughing and relatable. Edit: ur really good at story time and painting red yellow and green and your resume is really nice!!

well what did he pay the doctor?

The epitome of elegance and art.

2:20 expected Rick roll. I'm very disappointed

what a beautiful story, wish it was actually animated or an actual film for how good it was

That description of you scribbling your thoughts down is pretty awesome. Lmao.

The way you say "Room" is... peculiar? Just me? No?

Actually, from an engineers point of view, coffee is really just bean tee. Just architects call it coffee.

RULE 1 Never give mat any sort of painting tool

The Wallace and gromit clip just brought back so many memories I forgot were there 🤯

Matt, please stop with the cat hate. I love cats but I also like dogs. Why do dog lovers always hate cats so much? This is a few times now that you've dissed cats and I'm not here for it. Please cease and desist. Signed, The Cat Empire. ( actually the name of an amazing Australian band)

Hello. First of all I really like your videos and I really hope to see this comment because I found a game thats really good. Its called oped ttd and its free on steam. Its an "open world" transport tycoon and since you were a highway engineer I thought you would like it. The game is from 94' but recives updates to this day. Hope you are having a wonderfull day

That was a beautiful game, really enjoyed it

I'm sure you don't know but eating food separately is a sensory thing that many autistic people do and its offensive to call it weird. It's a perfectly acceptable way to eat that impacts no one. Unlike being an architect, people don't choose to be autistic.

By writing JACK bacwards you signed the final painting from inside

i like the new non clickbaity thumbnail, keep it up!

This game seems like someone living with high-functioning psychosis. Interesting.

Day 13 of asking RCE to play deep rock galactic as the engineer

i wonder if the devs painted the textures ?.....

I fully thought and was prepared for the old man to have been her love but she died young, imortalized in the final painting he did of her. That things would become more abstract in the painting as he got dementia and that at the end, he'd add to the painting something like a door being opened behind her, then after the visual of his room changes since he died and maybe even someone new moved in, he'd appear in the painting at the open door so they'd be together again. But i like how the game turned out. It was a rollercoaster of emotion and understanding at the end

2:13 Either people older than me are dumb or I just know a lot of old stuff

played this - is gorgeous and has beautiful story

So Matt doesn't deliberately draw strongest shapes, it's just what he's thinking about while he's scribbling?

Wow... this art felt right out of Studio Ghibli. Also, double Story Time? We are truly blessed.

I didnt expect rule britania that got me unexpected

RCE if i didnt know better I'd say that shape you constantly draw is your favorite shape.

1:00 They need to get their minds out of the gutter. Clearly this is the "let me do it for yooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" dog.

"A picture is worth a thousand words"

This game really blew me away (I also bought it) and I'm happy it blew Matt away too. But what happened to Minecraft?

i love your vids hopefully you will reach 2 mil before the end of the year!

The "happy ending" we deserved after the massive amount of strongest shapes ;)

I was expecting a MUCH darker twist, if I'm being completely honest. The lady being in a coma, or suffering from amnesia/alzheimer's, the old guy on the other building to be her lover and those being just memories he had from before she passed... I mean, I like the twist we got, it was wholesome and all, I was just unprepared.

Art style is the best in this game

That was great... almost as sad as last day with june. I think they were acquaintances and probably dated and the 'old man' is jack, obviously you can tell that by the beanie, but It was a nice story, really good games, though I think after watching it's kind of pointless to buy :(

E

"How did it walk up the wall‽" Tell me you're not a cat person without telling me you're not a cat person.

😂 ha the unabashed love of England with “Rule Britannia 🎵” love it. If RCE really wants to get his blood pumping in the morning He could play the Stars spangled banner 😁 such a glorious tune 🤣

You are so funny 🤣If I wasn't already subbed, I would definitely sub..lol This is even funnier, because my name is actually Amber...😂😂🤣🤣

"Hello Engineer" Demo out now! Building vehicles in the world of Hello Neighbour. It's massive fun. Just saying...

Music that gives me energy in the morning: falschirmjager bass beats remix(don’t understand a single word of it, but the beats are great), kickstart my heart remixed by dance with the dead, disco panzer, danger zone, 99 red balloons, ride of the valkyries, general quarters alarm, nuclear fallout siren, and the sounds of stukas dive bombing me. Best way to wake up a sound sleeper is to scare the crap out of yourself and make you think shit has hit the fan and you are under attack. Go from sawing logs to fully awake and alert in 30 seconds. Don’t do this, this is a joke and if you have heart problems, you could give yourself a heart attack waking up. Also don’t do this to someone else, they might wake up swinging. So if you decide to be a dumbass and do this to yourself or others, what happens is your own damn fault.

This is gorgeous!

Cats aren't bad! Neither are dogs! They're just different pets for different types of people. Dogs are generally better for higher-energy people, while cats are typically better for lower-energy people. Nothing wrong with that. I just happen to like a pet that is mostly self sufficient and entertains itself, but is cute and snuggly when I want them to be. A cat fits well for me. Many people prefer a pet they can play with, who they can go running with, who will be super excited when they get home, who will jump and kiss and do tricks and such, and a dog fits better for them. To each their own!

Nice

I thought that the twist was going to be that the protagonist was actually an older, amnesiac version of herself, like a scene from The Notebook or w/e that movie is called.

you just spoiled the whole plot of a game 🤣 though I wouldn't play the game even if I get remotely intrigued. either way, I'm good watching it with all the nitty-gritty removed through the magic of video editing. Good story though, I'm glad you made a video of it. Perhaps I'll buy the game just to support the devs. 🤷‍♀

The thing is that most architects will think she forgot about him ... That might be true but one essential detail is that the cat they found together had a kitten who's now an old cat and the man she met is also old and under treatment. Amber might have died along the way and now she's trying to put her memory fragments back together as a ghost ... Deep LORE Behind the Frame ; ) But Hey It's all just a Theory , A Game Theory ! Have a Good One .

Back in your day..? You are old..!! Wait, I am aswell. That explains my enjoyment of drawn knobs...

"There's the bloomin' cat, kick it out the window!" -Matt the Real Civil Engineer, 2023

About the reversed J at 16:43 ... My fiancé had a brainfart moment a few years back where she read something and asked me what this reversed J was. I'm a bit confused and say ... L? We both laughed alot about that and she's never gonna live to forget it. I'll make sure :D

That's why the name was backwards! It was the signature from the perspective of the painting!

But scribbling while thinking is literally how writing works

This became a lot more Silent Hill than I expected, nice. But in a sweet way.

Painting is for arcitects what have we turned into?

About your friends Delhi doctor, it’s not that you don’t go to the hospital and the doctor comes to you, it’s just an option where there are more doctors needed and less present, or it might be medical students getting their training( unlikely since their trainer wasn’t present ) or a new doctor who just got certified and is trying to get work. They might probably didn’t name the price because he knew the patient was an American who would assume the medical bill to be way higher than it should be and would overpay by a lot and in that way the doctor really isn’t scamming by naming a ridiculously high price.

Don't give Matt another game where he can draw anything. It is too much power for him.

Of all the combinations for the computer it could gave been.... I've never seen my numbers match something.

Well look like RCE have a lot of fun in this game....with a lot of "knobs" especially the one on the door

4:07 you might have missed it, being British, but that is not how you make coffee. you put a filter in, then if you have ground coffee you pour that in the filter in the coffee machine, but in the game you had whole beans, so you would put the beans into a coffee grinder (or a blender if you don't have a coffee grinder, but it won't turn out as good) and grind the coffee, then pour the ground coffee into the filter in the coffee machine. you then close the filter compartment and fill the water reservoir with water, roughly the same amount as you want coffee (some will be lost to steam and such) then wait as the coffee is heated up and sent through the filter and into the container. this is important stuff for a struggling artist, since they will have to work as a barista until they make it big, which could take a few decades unless they know the right couches to sit on (if you get my drift).

I love how he's like oh I bet a lot of people don't know how this is or what this is and I'm just over here like it's a cassette player I was born in 2000 and I know what a cassette player is 3 take the little cassettes and you put it in there and then you have the little buttons and you press the buttons it's kind of similar to my CD player that I used to have but for cassette tapes I'm well-versed in the olden time

I'm late to the party, but it's been years since I heard anyone say 'rollocks' and I just needed to comment on it. Fab word & great vid!

Well, mat kid was right, just think and scribble what you want to people understand, its kinda wizzardy tbh

14:09 lol that this is one of the few time that Matt got a draw perfectly! 16:05 did ai have to say that if they are the same colors than this is an erotic thing?😆😅 Anyway... Wow very nice lil story and what a plot!

Gee who would have known the first thing RCE would paint when given a paintbrush was the strongest shape??

that ending what twist I like that more than I thought I would

noice

0:51 the game is telling you to paint it wrong. the yellow had brush strokes up and down, hence why it looked like a wheat field, so you should be painting up and down instead of diagonal.

Day 78 of asking RCE to play Frostpunk. It has engineers and tech trees in it.

Please play Wandering Village, Planet Crafter, Dome Romantic once in a while

On the cassete player I was made to feel extreamply old when my genZ friend who im only 2 years older than didnt know what a VCR was

Proper engineering animals like beavers wouldn't have gotten up to wall climbing nonsense.

Matt's storytime probably explains more than we will ever know. Matt's personal growth at the end was special too!

isbfintus8hgisb you can read that right? (I wrote it while thinking🙂)

so she is just a living painting in a museum that are destined to live in a repeating memory of a painter that lives in a small locked room forever without anyway to escape

Uhh, nowadays I can't enjoy love story that doesn't make you diabete, but that's still a nice game to some extent

14:55 B4 it was revealed to be mugs, I thought it could've been a lemon slice and a watermelon slice.

Rce getting more views then jelly dyamn

Jeez, those edits were god awful! Just like an architect adding useless features to buildings

In regards to the doctor from abroad, tourists tend to not know the value of things in foreign areas. Asking them to just pay 'whatever they think it's worth' generally ends up with a pretty big profit, especially if they're helping them.

8:11 That really confused me ! I have his song as my ringtone and I thought I was getting a call 😅
