Cake day giveaways [Solution posted]

Closed
mgbnn

Hello SG! Rumor has it there is a long-standing tradition that one should make gibs on their cake day, so I made a small 10-cart train to mark the occasion. Hopefully I didn't mess up my first cake day train. The giveaways end on my cake day.

Technically this will be my second cake day, but I missed my first cake day (didn't even visit the site for the entire "cake month" last year), and only made my 2nd giveaway about 8 months ago.

The train is divided into several sections and contains the following cargo:

πŸš‚πŸšƒπŸšƒπŸšƒπŸšƒπŸšƒπŸšƒπŸšƒπŸšƒπŸšƒπŸšƒ

Note: Humble Bundle says you might not be able to activate DARK SOULS II in Japan, sorry!

I was lazy and rehashed some old bot rejection tricks, you might need to know a bit more about how the site works to reach all the carts.

I hope you won't spoil the "fun" for other people, but I don't really mind if you decide to share hints and hurt your chances of winning ...

Hopefully the winners would enjoy playing the games someday, half of them used to be on my wishlist.

---------- You don't need to read anything above this line for the "puzzle" -----------

I hope #1 doesn't mean we have to go through all your almost 800 GA's to find that comment.

Well... you could definitely find it out that way, but I promise it's nothing that tedious :/

We could? Because I'm pretty sure I have now checked the comments on every giveaway you've created that is visible to me, and I did not find the given comment. I found another puzzle entirely, but that was long since over. :D

Yes you could, since the comment is in one of my (possibly hidden) giveaways. However, I don't expect anyone to find it out that way since there is a much less tedious way to reach that comment :(

Well if it's in a hidden giveaway nobody can find it through your profile anyway - you can't access the comments of giveaways that are not public other than through the link to the giveaway as far as I know.

I did figure it out though! I didn't know that was a possibility before, so I learned something new. Thank you for the giveaways!

Is the last one supposed to involve alphanumeric labels?

I'm not sure I understand what you meant by labels, but yes everything you need to extract from the pictures is alphanumeric (no funny symbols).

Is the giveaway hash randomly embedded in the image or is it derived from the arrangement of Xs ?

All I'll say for now is, you won't be able to find the hidden giveaway with that image alone >_<

Probably my depression but I could only "solve" one cart and that was more reading ability than puzzle-solving.
Thanks for your effort to make it interesting nonetheless. Gave me a couple minutes in the day to think about something else. Take care.
