I don't want to speak for everyone (I think I might be with those 0 entries) but... yes
edit: oh, decode. I've been thinking far too simply due to the other thread.
edit2: Oh god why does Lugum keep editing the post. There was an edit I think 4 hours ago and now there's another edit 2.5 hours ago!

It's only been up 3 hours though, it's a decode thing, i think the 2 hints can be taken as where to look.
Squall approved it.

Grats, i almost thought it was impossible, yet so straightforward.
Helps if you played the game though. ;)

Got caught in the red herring, sent the above message, tried a bit more later, but no clue, lol. (I also read your other messages in the thread, didn't help me much)

Normally i am like i want my cv, but now i am like that 1 solver 3 solvers deserve it.
Last clue to make it remotely fair to that person and not give away too much (more), check the subject, don't you see something...off?
Comment has been collapsed.
I did notice, but my further tries were not in the right way.
I'll think more about it tonight, lol.
I'm not even going to contribute to the 5 entries, I just want the satisfaction of finding out the code, lol.
Comment has been collapsed.
I did something which made me understand your previous clue/message, hence my above message. I was then busy, and I just did the other research that made me find the code! :D
Comment has been collapsed.
I think it's not a pretty wild guess to know what my favorite game(s) are, connecting that to the youtube link, connecting that to something else. It's subtle, but it's there.

too hard, too evil.
I've been at it for almost and hour now... I've been picking through the comments and hints and all but I still can't get through, and to be honest even If I cracked it now and it turns out to be what the link says I'd be miffed, 'cause I already have it but I don't have infinite time in my life, so I'm gonna pass now.
ngl I prefer your old style of link puzzles :D

This is indeed a giveaway for turok 2.
I think you be miffed when the solution is posted. :p And google is always your best friend when you want to look something up (though results may very per country i guess) if you don't know a certain meaning of something.

The same as any steamgifts link, but you don't need to worry about it, once you decode it, you will get the proper results, it's just 1 translation, you need to work on the translation, not the code itself afterwards.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep... Hit a dead end after putting some of the clues together.
Maybe I'll try again later today, tho I doubt I will find how to get the code.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you put the clues together then you should have no problem receiving the code. ;) Again you just need to get a good translation, the code itself doesn't need further work.

Bump! Finally got it. You weren't lying that it was straightforward

this reminds me of One of the Most Easiest Puzzle EVER,
a puzzle that Student123 created many years ago 😃

But his (and others) were really mindblowing and stupidly hard, and perhaps he had a brilliant iq, i am just a simple guy and i doubt 30000 or even 10000 tries were done. :p

FFX both in subject and youtube clips (didn't had just 1 soundtrack) in a FANTASY world (Squall approved giving away that i might be a fan of Final Fantasy) > https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Al_Bhed
The clip might not have been clear enough, why i made sure it was also visible in the subject.
Even so if you googled FFX depending on country/interest it should have come up as one of the first hits.
Google:
https://www.google.com/search?q=ff10+translator or https://www.google.nl/search?q=AL+BHED+decode
Leads to:
https://www.hanginghyena.com/solvers/al-bhed-translator - https://lingojam.com/AlBhedTranslator-https://shauninman.com/utils/ffx/albhed/
Leads to:
https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/A6O3q/turok-2-seeds-of-evil > https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/E6Y3x/turok-2-seeds-of-evil
Some people used the several replies in al bhed from me to help them further, someone even used chatgpt.

Thank you for the interesting puzzle! I never thought that there's a cipher related to FFX, and didn't go that route. Nothing is impossible, right?
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks, i used this translator before but way more clearer in a hint, and we talking about some years ago (so you had to be there).
Well i would like to think nothing is impossible, but when i look at life sometimes :p
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank god i gave up trying to solve this, there is no way i could have came up with this. I got as far as it must be Final Fantasy X related, but i never played it, so it didnt help much.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well even the wiki showed the alphabet, having played it would have helped, but i think it would still been searchable, but better luck next time. :)

After people started using it in replies, I unsuccessfully tried to use some online cipher identifier tools (e.g. https://www.boxentriq.com/code-breaking/cipher-identifier ). I am quite upset that they weren't able to recognize this. I mean, I am upset that their creators didn't include this Al Bhed cipher in them.
Comment has been collapsed.
I figured out the Al Bhed connection, but the SteamGifts part of the Youtube link got completely cut out even in the f12 console when it's normally there for your other puzzles. So I had no idea what I was supposed to translate until after opening this page in an incognito tab where it's visible there. IDK if it was ESGST or some other Chrome extension causing that problem.
Comment has been collapsed.
Can always hover above a piece of text, i don't know, not like i haven't used similar links before.

This is how it looked on my end
Comment has been collapsed.
That's definitely ESGST. It's an option where they embed videos. You can disable it or you can also highlight the "watch on youtube" like you did on your screenshot and it shows the link there.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm gonna keep the embedded video feature because I like it and will simply double-check in an incognito tab from now on if it's not visible.
Highlighting the "watch on youtube" still doesn't show the full original link where it included the actual giveaway code "giveaway/A6O3q/turok-2-seeds-of-evil" and neither does the console. Even though when I look back on the previous puzzles made by them I can see the code in the Youtube link without changing anything.

So out of this FANTASY world, these songs, this puzzle? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
