Now, when everything about CHUSPIJS has been said, let me tell you something about myself, and to introduce myself a bit more to the Steamgifts' Community (reading not required).

First of all, I'm launching this spaceship to celebrate gaining the Game Industry Guardian badge at the beginning of June.

My Steam account is over 3 y.o., but until November it had only been used to play 2 or 3 F2P games. I've began to build my library during 2018 Autumn Sale, purchasing 60 games for approx. $130. A few weeks later I've paid a similar amount for 20 games from Matrix/Slitherine (my fav publishers), most of them with Steam keys. That's how building of my library has began.

Even though I'm aware now, that with little patience some of those games I would be able to get at a lower price, I feel OK with what I've paid to build this library's foundation. However, since then I've purchased no games directly on Steam, instead using much cheaper places, in large part, because I could not afford such purchases regularly. At the time of gaining the badge I had purchased 128 games in Fanatical and 37 in Humble bundles, probably close to 50 in other bundles, and close to 600 at rock-bottom prices at different sites, usually at 5-20 cents a piece. Also, not having any of them previously in my library, I had got a lot of mostly trash games for free from different giveaway sites like Gamehag and Gamehunt. And as the icing on the cake, 65 games on Steamgifts in 102 days.

I'm not going for cards. I'm not collecting to have the biggest library of all. I'm not after Steam levels. I am however trying to get the games, that I think, at one point may be useful or interesting for me.

Library for me is not just the name used by Steam for a list of owned games, but it's like a library of books, that I've used to have a long time ago, when I was learning, how to write (3.5k+ titles at it's top). It was not a collection. It was not a showcase. It was the enjoyment of having on hand a book, that I want to read, when I'm in the mood to read it. If they were not standing there (and at times were not shaming me for not having read them yet), many of them I would have never read.

It was also a well stocked workplace, when I felt like working. At one time I've read like 300 tomes of contemporary poetry (most of it really bad) in just a month or so to make my own mind, what good poetry is. Ofc, most of those tomes had been waiting in my library for quite a while for this moment to come.

I'm a gamer for over 35 years, interested not only in playing the games, but also in understanding their mechanics, and what makes them succeed or fail. I am a pretty lucky person (though there was a heavy price to pay as well) to have gained most of the life achievements, that are important to me. On a pretty short list of those, that I have not gained yet (and even much shorter list of those, that I still have a reasonable chance to get), creating The Game has a very high place.

As a writer I'm always in debt to my long gone library. Without it I would have never written those few things, that I feel, are written exactly as they should be. What's more important (writing being a side job for me), without it I would not be able to write in at least a decent way about those things, that I had to write about. Maybe, just maybe, this library in the same way will help me in the creation of The Game.

For games, posted as unrestricted or level restricted GAs and parts of trains, that I see as trash, this may mean expecting to play them at one time just for a short time, to see, why they have failed, and do they have any interesting ideas in them. For games posted like this, that I don't see as trash, it may mean intention to play in quite undefined future, when I have time and I'm in the mood to enjoy them. However, even with those open GAs I skip all "Please, enter only if you intend to play" GAs, that I doubt, if I will actually play in reasonable time.

I must admit here, that I love chasing and raiding trains, especially those, that are missed even by most of regular readers of this forum. My best so far has been looting of 4 wagons in a pretty long and obscure trash train, and this gave me a moment of great joy (especially as it came on top of winning 3 other GAs on that incredibly lucky day). Hence this event and probably quite a few more in the future.

I have, however, a very different approach to GAs posted as group or invite only. With a very few exemptions (like GAs with author's comment "Just grab those trash keys") I enter them only, if I have the real intention to play and review those games in a reasonable time (though for different reasons, I actually review like 50% of games, that I play). In this department my current record is quite unsatisfactory, with 11 games played and close to 20 game backlog, and I must work to keep this in check, but I should be less busy shortly. Still, my long term goal for those games will be just to get the ratio of played games above 60% and having no more, than 40-50 unplayed, because I am a moody player, enjoying different games at different times.

There is just 1 more confession, I should make here. For a short time I've got carried away and I've used multiple accounts on other sites to grab some free premium games. In this event "Deponia: The Complete Journey" and "A Story About My Uncle" come from that regrettable period (both 0 CV)

If you want to whitelist me, after reading this, it's very nice. If you want to blacklist me, I'm OK with this. Lets just have a nice day :)

I'm usually not into "whitelist me and I will whitelist you" deals, but if you whitelist me after reading this thread and leave a comment saying so in one of the GAs (but not in this thread), I will whitelist you as well.

bump! I solved the first puzzle, I'm not sure if I will do the others. That was actually the first Jigidi puzzle I've done on here. I'm not sure how much I like it. I whitelisted you, I'm not sure when I'll do giveaways though. Anyway, thanks for the making the event Aydaylin!

Sorry, but I must disappoint you. There is no any toughie there.

The last one has most pieces, but also most distinct colors and pattern, and on average there is no big difference in time needed to solve any of them.

Actually, the 1st is the easiest, and the second is the hardest, but they are close enough, that I didn't feel, that I need to adjust the difficulty.

Good to know. It was late and when I saw 200 pieces I just bookmarked it and backed out. Will have a go tonight after work. Thanks for the fun :)

I have a red t-shirt. Why do I get a bad feeling?

I seriously doubt, if it has anything to do with the red t-shirt. I think, that you should not recklessly associate it with this problem, when the obvious culprit, as it stands now, is 42. Risking the wrath of any red t-shirt is a very risky business ;(
