Was intending to make a couple giveaways to kick off the new year when I noticed this today. Didn't even realize my Steam anniversary was New Year's Day, so that's cool. Thanks to that and some encouragement from my sister putting some happy energy into me, I tried to start off 2018 actually working to put my life back into a reasonable semblance of proper adulting by finally starting to send in job applications again. Which was mentally exhausting. So I decided I needed a pick-me-up in the form of puzzle/train-making. Took a leaf out of a friend's book when he set up this awesome riddle-fest a few years back. I only have a few for you all, but I wrote and adjusted them myself over the past few weeks, so hopefully they're up to par.

Good luck!

The train is ten carts long nine carts long. Turns out a single two copy giveaway still counts as two, lol. They're mostly bundled games I've had lying around for a while though there is one unbundled JRPG goodie and a separate DLC in there too. All lvl 2 and will end Jan. 7 at 2PM PST.

Update: added a hint for riddle 1 for those of you who were stumped. May continue to adjust it, but hopefully that helps you on your way.
Update 2: hints for the other two riddles have been added as well.
Update 3: added another hint for the monster I created that is riddle 1.

I thought 2 and 3 were pretty easy, but I was stuck on 1 for a little while. Tried google, but it didn't help.

Hmm, I wonder if I could tweak 1 more to make it a little easier. It does make me a little happy that I stumped someone for a bit though, lol.

Number 3 was rather easy, but i'm stuck on 1 and 2. Probably because of me not being a native speaker or just too close minded. Anyway...have a bump for not solved (yet)! :D

Oh no, I was worried non-native English speakers might have trouble. Sorry about that!
I'm not the greatest at hints, but here goes:

1: Remember that it may not be something tangible. And don't let the first line break trip you up; the first two lines are a full sentence.

2: Try to focus on the point that it is something that can be either good or bad depending on whether or not you can keep it controlled and contained.

Hopefully those actually helped. Good luck! You can do it! :D

Really, I don't know what I would do without her. She's a lifesaver.
And thank you! It's honestly so draining that it's scary, but I'm gonna do my best to keep at it.
You take care too, Wolfborn! Thank you for always being so wonderful. :)

It's always good to have someone like that in your life, I'm glad she's there for you-- and you for her! ;)
If you ever need to vent about the job hunting or just chat about whatever, really, you know where to find me :)

Yeah, I'm definitely the kind of person who needs a good push every so often or else I get too trapped in my own head. I'm lucky to have such an understanding sister.
Thank you for solving my riddles and for the well wishes! Hopefully I'll have some good news to bring back soon (especially since I'm so excited by the idea of that paycheck I could use to give back to this community more). :D

2:
Small I am helpful, warm, and bright,
but be afraid if I grow large - an insatiable appetite

3:
None can escape me, through try as you might.
Stave me off in good health, but accidents you cannot fight.

I hope those help! :)
