Last summer I picked up pottery and it brings out a lot of creativity in me - so I thought I'd share some of the things I made!

I'm a bit late, but bump for solved and happy cakeday!
Any attempt to organise something for the community is highly appreciated, so thanks for the puzzle and the extra WL incentive. I noticed a bunch of nice comments.

Bump for solved! Great puzzles and some very cool games in there. Good luck with your military service and see you back here real soon.
I'll leave you with my Australian joke trilogy:
- Why did the koala fall out of the tree? Because it was dead.
- Why did the kangaroo drop dead? Because the koala fell on it.
- What do you call a boomerang that doesn't come back? A stick.

It reminds me this joke.
Person 1: You have 500 bricks. If you throw one off a plane, how many will you have left? Person 2: 499. Person 1: Correct!
Person 1: How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator? Person 2: Thatās not physically possible. Person 1: Wrong, you open the refrigerator door, put the elephant inside, and close the door!
Person 1: How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator? Person 2: Open the refrigerator door, put the giraffe inside, and close the door. Person 1: Wrong, you open the refrigerator door, take the elephant out, put the giraffe in, and close the door!
Person 1: The whole jungle was invited to the lionās party, but someone didnāt show up. Who is it? Person 2: I donāt know. Person 1: The giraffe, because he was inside the refrigerator!
Person 1: An old granny wants to cross a crocodile-infested river. But somehow, she crossed the river safely. How? Person 2: Iām not too sure about that. Person 1: She could cross it safely because there were no crocodiles! Person 2: But you said the river was crocodile-infested. Person 1: Yeah, thatās true, but you didnāt think about the fact that the crocodiles went to the lionās party!
Person 1: Even though the granny was safe swimming across the river, she died. How? Person 2: The crocodiles ate her? Person 1: Nope, the brick hit her head.

First of all, I'm not that interested in getting in. I'm so behind on my backlog between PC, Switch and PS Vita (and I don't even want to talk about the amount of games in my NDS, GBS, GCB, PS One, PS2, PSP backlog) on top of me getting review copies and writing reviews for Steam curator and another gaming site.
But still, this thread piqued my interest.
So what I want to talk about is the "art of letting go". Since I was a teenager, I've played videogames. I was constantly looking for something cool, something new to play and the early 2000s were perfect for that. So many cool series I discovered for myself. Yakuza, Final Fantasy, GTA, Metal Gear Solid and many many more. But as time went on, I've started uni, then I've became an adult. I've had less and less time to play, and thus my backlog kept growing. It was an example of "ooh, this looks cool but it's pricey, that looks cool but I takes 100 hours to complete". My available free time kept getting shorter and so I've spent it on my significant other, my friends, movies, books, tv shows. Backlog kept growing up to hundreds.
Trying to keep up with it became impossible, but I've tried. Some games turned out to be not that good, but I've kept playing. Some of these took a lot of time, but I've kept playing. Some of these games made me mad, but I've kept playing. In the end, it started to affect my mental health and my love for gaming in general. And at some point, I've had a revelation, maybe some of these games in my backlog are not worth spending all that time or money. Maybe some of my favourite franchises are not as good as they used to be. Maybe it's okay to leave these games in backlog without playing them or simply drop them midplay and stop torturing myself. It actually became kinda fun to add to backlog KNOWING that I will never play these games.

Same thing happened to me too. I was trying to finish every game, every movie, tv series, books but now i just drop it if i didn't like it. Nothing is more important than my time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Exactly. At first I felt so much guilt when I dropped something. "I've spent money on it" or "It's a part of my favourite seires" or even "I waited for it for so long". That's what I kept thinking. But then I just...stopped. As you have said: "Time is important".

Don't have a funny gif in mind, but here is a funny screenshot from the movie "Promare" (The movie was meh, but animation is solid)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah i saw this movie. I was about to watch but people was talking bad about it. Than i didn't watch. End of story...

I don't know why people liked it that much. When i designed it first i thought it's too simple and boring. Thank you.
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe that's why it was great. Even if it wasn't that hard, it was simply engaging and not overly complicated ;)

I think i got past the first part but have been mulling over what to do from there.. i rly like puzzles like this that i have to really think about what to do next, sometimes i eventually figure it out but if not atleast i learn something at the end afterwards if solution is provided.. i know these take time to setup so just wanted to thank you for taking the time to make the puzzles they are fun

Actually, i made this puzzle for the people who are hanging around this site a lot. In my first time i couldn't solve even the simplest puzzles because i didn't know anything. After a while i learnt all the tricks. Think about that.

Really liked it. First i said what is it? Then figure it out. That's clever! You are in.

I'm still not quite sure what to do in the 2nd part of the puzzle, but I'll get there, hopefully. =D

It's my cakeday! Where are my gifts?
First i want to tell you a story if you got time otherwise you can pass this scene. For a while ago my pc broke (My brother did it not me) and i tried everything. I was looking forums, YouTube, asking random people, trying to fix myself but nothing worked and i said "I am living in SG. Let's try to ask those people too." I opened a thread. I told my problem and suddenly you guys started to help me. You were like "Did you try that, do this, show that, post a photo, what are the specs tell us" etc. Eventually we couldn't fix it maybe i broke some more but that's okay. I always love this community from the beginning but the part that shock me was you don't even know me but some of you even got sad for me. However every good thing has an ending point. I am going to be a soldier. I was waiting to be called. Today the message came and next month I'll be on my way. (In my country every citizen that are over 20 have to go to military for 6 or 12 months) And you know the situations are little bit complicated these days. Of course I'll be back if nothing happens and will be the new president of SteamGifts. Until then you need to stay with current moderaters. Anyways before i go i want to spend more time with you. So i came with this idea that i always want to do since my first day.
I want to play a game
There are no rules. Just convince me to whitelist you. It's going to be a little game. You can comment anything. With a funny gif, a good video, a movie or a game recommendation, a joke or even some random things that you think would make me convince. Everything counts. Only rule to make the others think harder and push their imagination beyond their limits is: if i answer a comment that means you are in, no one can make the same comment. For example you said "I will whitelist you back" and i respound "You are in" etc. I am only giving this example to not to give spoiler No other comments similar to this counts. So be creative, write something that no one could imagine or copy. It's going to be so much funny and show this people's creativity. Just give it a shot. It'll be fun.
I will add every comment that i found convincing here. So you can check before write anything. Like i said in my cakeday discussion i am checking this site couple of times every day. So if i didn't answer your comments in 12 hours that means you couldn't make it. So try again or quit. Majority of the gamblers quit right before the jackpot. Remember that.
Now let's play!
My first real puzzle train. It has 4 steps. This is the first one:
Tango Whiskey Delta Echo^ Delta Golf Whiskey^
Hint: When people want to post a meme or a gif majority using this site.
Hint: Some of you already solved the first part but couldn't get there because you are adding extra words to it. That's why it's not working.
Thanks to aliihsandikmen for correcting a point in puzzle.
Don't just try to get in. Maybe i won't even do a whitelist GA or maybe I'll do some junk games. Try to have fun.
No more joke
No more this thing what even is it But definitely check that.
Didn't expect a poem
A good speech
For revenge
A memory about the super dead target
Interesting topic to disguss
I put my soul into this comment I hope you liked it

For being Einstein
