Is the puzzle too easy?
I don't get Q3, ̶Q̶5̶ and ̶Q̶6̶. ̶F̶o̶r̶ ̶Q̶6̶,̶ ̶I̶ ̶d̶i̶d̶ ̶v̶e̶r̶y̶ ̶l̶i̶t̶e̶r̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶w̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶p̶i̶c̶ ̶t̶o̶l̶d̶ ̶m̶e̶,̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶b̶o̶t̶h̶ ̶c̶a̶s̶e̶s̶ ̶A̶d̶o̶b̶e̶ ̶c̶o̶u̶l̶d̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶r̶e̶a̶d̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶:̶/̶ ̶S̶h̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶I̶ ̶s̶p̶o̶i̶l̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶?̶
Edit 2: Okay, only Q3 left. I know what it refers to, but... it surprisingly didn't help me at all. I wish I could consult it with someone privately, because it's hard to do without spoiling

For Q5, I know what to do, just not what specific words to use
I was the same, I knew what the picture was of, and thanks to the hints posted I knew I had to find the opposite, but it just wasn't clicking. So kind of in desperation I googled a very simple 3 word query, and got the answer. 😅
I don't even know how to start with Q3
Same again, and the hints people are posting just confuse me even more! 😣
Just got it 😅 Think about a different way text can be represented

Is Q3 tetris related, or is it just using those shapes by chance?

Despite what I assume are fantastic and sufficient hints, I'm stuck on Q4 and Q5.
Maybe someone can nudge me on Q5. I understand I'm looking for the opposite of what's pictured, but I'd like to know if I'm looking for something that is an opposite directionally or an opposite in some other quality possessed by the subject of the image.

For Q5, half of it is opposite directionally, but it might not be the first opposite word you think of. The other half is opposite elementally. pondipunchline's hint is what finally clued me in to the whole answer.
I'm still working on Q4 myself (and Q9).

I didn't, but I eventually found the answer anyway.

Okay, I've figured out Q4 now. I didn't understand the connection until I stumbled upon the answer and worked backwards, but I can tell you that the things pictured cannot run Crysis. What could they do instead...
Comment has been collapsed.
here is my hints.
Q1: its all the same
Q2: the not so cute version
Q3: you should not SEE it
Q4: can it run skyrim?
Q5: google search the hint
Q6: Adolf know the real hint
Q7: they look good together
Q8: not a hello kitty song
Q9: best teamplayer
at least this is how my brain translate it, mix it with other's hint

happy day of cake! my knowledge of 'book, cartoon, person, game, series, geographical location, film, music or tv show' stuffs is apparently poop somewhat decent absolutely godlike as i've only gotten 3 4 5 6 7 8 them all right (due to hints my massive wrinkly brain) and they were all extremely easy. rest last one are is totally up in the air. no idea how some of you do it, kudos. stuck on q3, q4, q6, q7, and q8.
went down the rabbit hole with q6 and thought i had it for sure, but it ended up being wrong and i don't know where to go with it. nevermind, i was being too specific i guess.
oh boy, progress!
someone please knock me over the head with another good q7 /q8 hint and i'll forever be in your debt.
two hours in and one question away, i am fucking amped.
i have done it. i have ascended.

Fluffster's hint helped me most with Q7. I'm not sure there are any better hints without it being given away. It still took me a lot of searching though!
I'm still working on Q3, 4, and 8, so there's nothing I can help with there, unfortunately.
These hints have been pretty great, even if I still can't figure some out! The only one I got without any hints was Q1 xD

thanks, i've tried searching for movies with the three of them in it, but it seems the old guy has been out of the industry for quite some time. i am obviously missing something. maybe i'll take a shot at some hints.
q3 - if you know the overall theme/order of the answers it really helps. can't you see it?
q4- it's kind of a meme at this point. this hint almost gives it away.
q8- i got this one by googling some words i found in previous hints.. specifically.. "this cat is definitely dark" and "I think the cat is friendly, doesn't it" slap those two with something else you know about the image (again keeping in mind the general theme/order of the puzzle as a whole.)
hope those help :)
edit- dude thank you so much for pointing me back to that hint. that eventually led me to what i needed.
Comment has been collapsed.
Glad you got it :D
I managed to get Q3 at last! I was on the right track at least! I was actually very close to the answer for some time, it just took me a while to figure the final part xD
The Q8 hints led me in the wrong direction for some time, but that's simply due to my absurd thought process! I finally combined "the cat is definitely dark" with "the fact that it's a cat is irrelevant" and the image posted by Olzhas to get it.
I already tried some answers for Q4 which I imagine align with that hint (as far as I know). No success so far. I expect I'm close with this one so it may come to me soon :D
Edit - Just got Q4 too! Jake13Snake's comment was the final piece!

I thought Q9 would be Family Guy, because getting on the leaderboard requires grinding and you know what grinds my gears? ;)
Eventually figured it out though, thanks to all the hints in the thread, Eefrit's hint was probably the best one.

Heyy I solved it.
Hint for Q3, as I had problems with it - read it the opposite of how it's typically read
Comment has been collapsed.
Man I'm stuck on Q8 for hours now🤣 ..All the hints are great, managed to figure out all of them except Q8; maybe I'm overlooking the obvious here but I'm lost haha.. I'd appreciate anymore tips/hints :)
Nevertheless, thank you escollo for this really great puzzle and happy belated cakeday! Bump!
Comment has been collapsed.
I was stuck on Q8 for two days! :D
I can't really come up with new hints for it, without coming too close to giving away the answer, unfortunately, but I'd recommend concentrating on hints from Eefrit, DogOnSG, dobeduck and DoggieMan.
One thing I can say without spoilers, is that you just need the name of the song, so no need to worry if the artist's name should go before it or after and there's no punctuation.

Does each shape in Q3 correspond to one letter? (so 7 letters in this example)
I must be really stupid but all previous "sight/seeing or not seeing" hints gives me literally 0 idea
Good puzzle nonetheless, tho I won't be sleeping tonight until I get Q3 right
Comment has been collapsed.
Bump for solved
I struggled most with Q5, Q7 and Q8 so let's try to add some more hints:
Q5 - combine Fluffster's and Jake13Snake's hints
Q7 - Other hints already state to use the alternative actor/actress. I can add to it that last character has least possible options
Q8 - While you need the title, the question uses something else to identify the song

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.
