Was intending to make a couple giveaways to kick off the new year when I noticed this today. Didn't even realize my Steam anniversary was New Year's Day, so that's cool. Thanks to that and some encouragement from my sister putting some happy energy into me, I tried to start off 2018 actually working to put my life back into a reasonable semblance of proper adulting by finally starting to send in job applications again. Which was mentally exhausting. So I decided I needed a pick-me-up in the form of puzzle/train-making. Took a leaf out of a friend's book when he set up this awesome riddle-fest a few years back. I only have a few for you all, but I wrote and adjusted them myself over the past few weeks, so hopefully they're up to par.

Good luck!

The train is ten carts long nine carts long. Turns out a single two copy giveaway still counts as two, lol. They're mostly bundled games I've had lying around for a while though there is one unbundled JRPG goodie and a separate DLC in there too. All lvl 2 and will end Jan. 7 at 2PM PST.

Update: added a hint for riddle 1 for those of you who were stumped. May continue to adjust it, but hopefully that helps you on your way.
Update 2: hints for the other two riddles have been added as well.
Update 3: added another hint for the monster I created that is riddle 1.

I'll definitely take that moderation into account. Hyperbole and a Half is so funny (but also scary relatable, lmao).
Thank you Lord Baal! :)

That has happened to me before on ith too. Still not sure why it happens. Though I've never had it not save the answers after a refresh. That is odd. Sorry that you had so much trouble with it. D:

For number 1, try to focus on the first line of the hint (that is, the fifth line).

Bump for trying and miserably fail,

My language skills are bad,
No1 makes me very sad.
Thanks to Ms. Google for spell checking
BTW. Nice drawings
And I noticed THIS today

Sorry that number 1 is so hard! I'm struggling to think of a way to make it easier, not really sure how to fix it at this point. D:
That is a great rhyme though. :)
And thank you for the compliment! I really need to start posting my drawings again soon.

Oh nice, I remember trying to crack riddles like those back from when I first started learning English, and all the times I was plain lost in translation ;>...

Good luck on the job applications, have a good 2018 :)!

Oh wow, I can't imagine how difficult it must be to solve riddles in a language that you're new to. I have enough trouble trying to solve them even when I've known the language my whole life, lol. ^^;

Thank you Skibby, I hope 2018 treats you kindly! :)
