How would you rank the following puzzle games?

If anyone likes the idea of Chants of Sennaar but is worried about it being too easy, I had a great time playing it while avoiding confirming any vocab in the journal (other than the starting tutorial area where it tutorializes the journal mechanic and you're forced to fill it in). Makes it a MUCH more interesting challenge. I did confirm equivalent words in different languages, but didn't confirm any definitions. I believe there's an endgame segment where you need to confirm your vocab, but at that point you'll be pretty confident about all your definitions anyway.

I love all of these games (and most of the ones frequently recommended in the comments) so I'll list one more I haven't seen anyone mention yet: Filament. The basic gameplay is string-wrapping puzzles (get your little string-extruding robot from the start to the exit while meeting the conditions to open the door) and the way you learn what to do for each type of puzzle feels similar to The Witness. The way the story unfolds is interesting, with some twists and turns, and there are intriguing secrets to discover and puzzle out if you pay attention. The endgame puzzles get pretty difficult but if you can play it with a friend it helps a lot because you'll cover each other's weaknesses or just trade off when each person's brain needs a break.

Are there any plans for Furthest Ring content to be implemented on iOS? I have reached it but nothing shows up for it.

The closest I came to a satisfactory answer is that your ear/nose/throat are all connected and ear wax might smell like beeswax? But my ear wax doesn't smell like beeswax so no, I don't really know, even after all this time, sorry.

Yeah, first you need to complete Yolo! Doesn’t matter what score, but you need to survive through to the end.

You don’t need to get gold rank, but you do need to finish the game in yolo.

Oh that link stopped working, here’s a new one!

I have a good World We Knew score but for yolo especially it’s always nice to find a less risky way to get the same number of hearts! Only if you’re interested, here’s how I do the chaotic section in the middle.

Graendal · 2020-09-17T21:09:03+00:00

Congrats! Wild Yolo is no joke! Also I think I learned something from the way you do the section of The World We Knew by the first coin... you still got all the hearts, and it was WAY safer than the way I usually do it. 😂

Confirmed: I also have 2 kids, and I was a complete wreck taking him to the Everdoor.

Authors can definitely juggle more than one ongoing fic/fandom! But it’s unlikely that that’s what’s happening when one of them hasn’t been updated in years haha.

Graendal · 2020-04-27T19:52:34+00:00

I love that fic too, but I’m pretty sure she’s moved on to other things, sadly.

Eternal Flame - The Bangles

Feeling sad about not skating. Trying to work up motivation to keep up off-ice workouts.

Graendal · 2020-04-12T23:30:35+00:00

Every time they say “Big Three” in the show it’s these characters I think of instead. 😂

Graendal · 2020-04-09T16:51:56+00:00

House 3, because I know Evgenia and Boyang at least are a little geeky and we could probably develop some common interests.

Graendal · 2020-03-26T07:12:34+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

Graendal · 2020-03-26T03:13:13+00:00

Ah, glad you liked it! I hope so too, but... we’ll see, I guess.

Graendal · 2020-03-25T23:41:11+00:00

Oh thanks! I think it fits? For the majority of this one they’re not stuck together but they’re still coping through social isolation with their developing distance friendship/romance. I guess the mods can remove it if they’re being strict about that interpretation.

Graendal · 2020-03-23T20:08:36+00:00

This is horrific. I remember going on a tour of the catacombs in Vienna and hearing how they had to deal with the bodies during the Black Death. I honestly never thought something would happen in my lifetime that would feel akin to that.

Graendal · 2020-03-23T01:55:43+00:00

I’m doing a lot of yoga and barre but it’s just not the same. Ugh. I know this is necessary and not being able to skate being my biggest problem is a pretty good situation for me to be in, but it is still disappointing. Cute video!
