Yeup, today is my factory day, so here's the puzzle.

Prizes are Days Gone, which is current #1 on the community wishlist, and some bundle leftovers.

Since I'm too lazy to make them myself, feel free to share any hints with each others, just don't give direct answers or links.

Oh yeah, Days Gone is region restricted and can not be activated in Japan, sorry

Hint: there is already a hint in ITH description

Just to be clear: you can and probably should give each other any hints/clues/ways for a solution other than direct answers.

At least someone listened.

Answers

  1. Different forms of carbon
  2. It's a cartoon about strange furries
  3. Empty spots of tetris figures form braille letters which mean "braille"
  4. All these devices run Doom
  5. Not waterfall is firefly
  6. Zipjpg-file with a picture from Nuremberg trial in it
  7. Not these actors but who played these characters were all in this film. Henry Cavill/Superman, Armie Hammer/Lone Ranger, Alicia Vikander/Lara Croft.
  8. The song starts with "Hello, Darkness..."
  9. It's a top list from Gears of War which displays kinda top gear

Is the puzzle too easy?

View Results
Yes
Definitely
Too easy to waste time
Potato

So, hints from me so far:
Q1: different version of the same material, also name of Netflix series (AFAIK)
Q2: one of the cartoons with animals, as you may guess, from the same studio which run to scandal-ous situation with people who usually look like the ones pictured
Q3: dots are important, but it's much more important where dots are absent
Q4: yes, also calculator, fridge built-in computer, Android phone, iPhone, almost every gaming platform and almost any computer may also be in the picture and the answer will be the same
Q5: the symbol over the picture is a logic "NOT"
Q6: try to do something which is stated on the image
Q7: actor names will help, but hardly the ones pictured
Q8: this cat is definitely dark
Q9: how else you may name the list of the best something, instead of leaderboard? And don't forget the name of the game

You should do something, perhaps "mine fewer" is telling you what to do.

Btw, was my hint on Q8 any good? Or it's too misleading?

The Q8 hint was good. Perhaps it is that whoever tries to decode it is thinking about the resolution itself and not that the clue is a part of the whole, I don't know if I explain myself. But if I've been able to get it out, it can't be bad...

OK, so that I won't be going down the wrong track forever, because so far none of the hints add up to anything for me, your hint is the color black (or black variant?), not the NES itself, right?

I am not sure if this will help you, but here we go:

When I looked at the picture, I quickly thought of a 4 (or 5) letter word, and I tried to work with it quite a lot. Well, THIS IS NOT ENOUGH. You want to start with a 9 (or 10) letter word which INCLUDES those 4 (or 5) letters, and the 5 extra letters at the beginning are what really helped me.
