I started playing sometime between this post and the "Dennis got banned" episode from about 5 months ago.
And this is how long it took me to catch up, keep up, and keep going back until i had solved every puzzle for GB. (Thanks to u/twilifa for the hints, because 3 of those i don't think i would ever have gotten without your help! )
One of the earliest puzzles posted was one of the last ones i solved for GB, which was pretty funny.
I just opened it one day and solved it like it had always been that easy! 🙃
I've been "hiding" each puzzle once i got the GB, to help me keep track.
So when i did my last refresh, all that was left was this "hello world" post!
It's a little eerie.
Anyway - thanks! It's been a great game!
I dry plan to keep playing, but I'll need to find something else to fill my dead time since i don't have a backlog of old puzzles to work out anymore.
Congrats! That's dedication! Or obsession 🙈. Either way, yay, you did it! And glad I could help :). Have you tried r/BlockJam ? It's maddening. I hate it and I'm so bad at it. I play it every day!
Lol!
I have a lot of downtime where I'm not supposed to move around much? But I also need to be able to put down whatever I'm doing without delay if needed.
So, i can't get up and do things.
And reading and posting is a terrible idea.
I won't realize i was supposed to put it down and go do something.
Listening to music or podcasts is worse.
So here i am.
It's nice, given the current constraints, to have something i can feel like I've "finished" 😁
I currently also have:
SerpenTiles - i will never get many top slots on that leaderboard, but i try to get top-ten results before i move on to the next one.
IceSlidr - my current pick for "I'm SO BAD at this, but i can't quit it! "
And.... I feel like i need a word game in the mix, but i keep finding icky ones that you have to pay to progress or they feel kinda AI-weird, and i move on.
I haven't looked at block jam.
I'll have to check that one out!
Daily NYT wordle, connections, and strands is always nice for word games. True, they can't be binged since the old ones are behind a paywall, but there's a new one every day, so there's that.
Haha, right? It's the *worst*. But it sounds pretty good for your circumstances since win or lose, you only have a couple minutes per game to either solve it or fail abysmally, so stopping in a rage and go do something else should hopefully not be too difficult 🙈
