You Don't Know Droj (ended, solution added)

Open

I hope you all enjoyed the puzzle. I'm moving soon and won't have much time for at least a month, but I'll be back with more sooner or later. Good luck all, and have fun out there!

Well that was the most stressful move I've made in my entire life. Word to the wise, don't try to move just as a pandemic hits your area. NOT RECOMMENDED. I made it though and haven't gotten sick yet, so let's relax and celebrate our continued survival with some giveaways!

Ended: You Don't Know Droj

You don't know me. After you finish this quiz... you still won't know me. But all the answers can be found on my profile (here or on Steam) or in this thread. The final answer is "Blue Falcon".

Basically, I wanted to try out itstoohard. Answer the questions correctly, and you will gain access to a level 2+ train. Most of the giveaways are IndieGala leftovers, but I mixed a few other games in as well.

Have fun!

PS This is meant to be a fun, inclusive game--I hope that everyone who tries will be able to figure it out. If you're having trouble, hints will appear after one hour. If you're still stumped, feel free to express your frustration here and maybe I can help you!

If you want to skim the discussion for hints, comments for this puzzle start here.

edit: A lot of people seem to be having trouble with question 4. Check the hint on the quiz first, and if you're still having trouble: The hint gives you the Answer, but the meaning of the Answer is unimportant. Just treat it as a string of numbers, and follow the instructions in the question.

Solution:

The puzzle was in the form of an itstoohard quiz. I'll reproduce the questions, the hints provided, and then give the solutions for each.

Q1: What game does my profile icon come from?
H1: Start your search in my recently played games.

My profile icon may have changed by the time you read this, so check the bottom of this post to see the one I had at the time of the quiz. This icon shows up right in the middle of the banner of the game it's from, so it's pretty easy to work out once you see it. I tried to keep it in my last 3 games played so it would always be on my profile, but I confess that it did slip to #4 overnight once. Oops.

The game itself was Pyromind, which I highly recommend to anyone who is intrigued by the line "Arguably the most explosive and unforgiving little action puzzler you will ever play."

Q2: What is one of my favorite game genres?
H2: Look for the word "favorite".

My Favorite Group showcase and Main Group both feature Puzzle Lovers. This is unlikely to ever change. What can I say? I love puzzles! Unsurprising, then, that "puzzle games" would be the answer.

Q3: The initals of the games in my achievement showcase contain the name of another game. What is that game?
H3: It's a game about gravity.

Yes, I misspelled "initials". My shame will be eternal.

At the time of this puzzle, my Achievement Showcase was featuring achievements from Cultist Simulator, Victor Vran, Victor Vran, Victor Vran, RIVE, and RIVE. Extract the initials, and you get CSVVVVVVRR.

Discard the extra letters and you get VVVVVV, an indie game where you flip gravity instead of jumping. Apparently it's not as well known as I thought it was, so I told anyone who had trouble with it that it was one of Terry Cavanagh's games.

Q4: One of the statistics shown on my profile is not the Answer. In fact, it is rather the reverse. Which one is it?
H4: The answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything is, of course, 42.

This was by far the hardest one, judging by the comments. The hint tells anyone unfamiliar with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that the Answer is 42. The question states that one of the statistics on my profile is the reverse of that. It doesn't make any sense to try to find the opposite of 42, so the solution is to literally reverse the number. That gives us 24, and a quick scan of my profile reveals that I had 24 badges at the time. "Number of badges" is the answer.

Q5: How many giveaways are in this train?
H5: This train contains my only currently running giveaways.

Counting the number of Invite-Only giveaways currently running on my SteamGifts profile revealed the answer: 13.

Q6: Will you actually read the instructions in the giveaways?
H6: Should have read the instructions!

Yes it was a trick question. I've gotten annoyed at the number of people who can't read the instructions on a giveaway they've just won. Most of the keys for this train were to be delivered by email, and I wanted to weed out people who wouldn't pay attention to the big bold warning saying to check your damn inbox! The answer was contained in the first paragraph.

Why "Blue Falcon"? I don't know, I had to choose something, and I've been watching The Expanse lately, so why not?
