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: That’s 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 lion’s party, but someone didn’t show up. Who is it? Person 2: I don’t 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: I’m 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, that’s true, but you didn’t think about the fact that the crocodiles went to the lion’s 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)

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
Comment has been collapsed.
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.

The Tale of ErhanT: The Hero of SteamGifts
Once upon a time, in the digital realm of SteamGifts, there lived a brave and kind-hearted soul named ErhanT. He was known far and wide for his generosity, his love for games, and his unwavering spirit. But one fateful day, a great calamity befell him. His trusted companion, the mighty PC, was struck down by the mischievous hands of his younger brother. The once-glorious machine, which had brought ErhanT countless adventures, now lay silent and lifeless.
Desperate to restore his companion, ErhanT embarked on a quest for knowledge. He scoured the ancient forums of the internet, consulted the wise sages of YouTube, and even sought advice from wandering strangers in the vast lands of social media. Yet, despite his efforts, the PC remained unresponsive.
In his darkest hour, ErhanT remembered the legendary community of SteamGifts—a place where heroes and dreamers gathered to share their treasures and wisdom. With hope in his heart, he opened a thread in the sacred halls of the forum, pouring out his tale of woe.
To his amazement, the community rallied around him like a fellowship of old. "Did you try this?" asked one. "Show us a photo of the damage," urged another. "What are the specs of your machine?" inquired a third. Though their efforts did not bring the PC back to life, their kindness and camaraderie warmed ErhanT's heart. Some even shared in his sorrow, for they too had known the pain of losing a trusted device.
But as the sun sets on every chapter, so too did ErhanT's time in the realm of SteamGifts draw to a close. A message arrived, carried by the winds of duty. ErhanT, like all citizens of his land, was called to serve as a soldier. The call was not unexpected, for it was the law of the land that every soul over the age of 20 must dedicate six or twelve months to the defense of their homeland.
The times were uncertain, and the path ahead was fraught with challenges. Yet ErhanT faced his destiny with courage. "I shall return," he vowed, "and when I do, I shall ascend as the new president of SteamGifts, leading this community to even greater heights."
Before his departure, ErhanT wished to spend his remaining days among his beloved friends in SteamGifts. He shared stories, laughter, and dreams, knowing that these moments would sustain him in the trials to come.
And so, with a heavy heart but a spirit unbroken, ErhanT bid farewell to the community he cherished. "Stay strong," he said, "and may the moderators guide you well in my absence. Until we meet again, keep the spirit of generosity alive."
As ErhanT set off on his journey, the community of SteamGifts stood united, their hearts filled with hope and determination. For they knew that their hero would return, and when he did, the realm would welcome him with open arms, ready to embark on new adventures together.
And thus, the legend of ErhanT, the Hero of SteamGifts, was etched into the annals of history—a tale of friendship, resilience, and the enduring power of community.
The End... For Now.

Now when you mentioned it i see no ducks but more like thumbs up.

Speaking about "ducks"... It's "yarak" in Turkish, right? It's pronoumced much like "Jarek", popular male name in Poland. I heard about Polish tourist that lost her husband in museum in Istanbul. She ran about calling "Jarek! Jarek!" and did not undrestand why people kept giving her a weird look...

Hahhaahha It has so many names in turkish. Turkish people just like to give weird names to it. It's very funny actually. Majority of those names using for swear cause we do that a lot. :D

It's my cake day! 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 moderators. 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 respond "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 cake day 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^

2) Go to imgur make puzzle gif xppnncpr
3) Make a jigidi and post a permalink to my first giveaway

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.
