Whitelist recuirement

I'd like to join your whitelist, if your cryptic comment reopening the thread means you might add people. (If not, apologies.)

I ignored the site a long while having not had a first win for a long while, and have finally got some wins to play. Since I was already working on tackling my backlog before I started joining GA again, I have a good impetus to keep going. For recent games, we played Nuclear Blaze (fanatical bundle for $3) and it was charming, with great ways to reduce difficulty in lots of ways for younger players. The story was fun, and once you beat the somewhat short first run, they unlock a second harder run with continued story and new mechanics to tackle. Really thoughtful game development.

My least favorite win is The Deed, largely because I don't have many bad wins (I try not to join those, time is precious). It's actually a decent tiny game, where you make choices about how to frame your family for murder. The game is short, and it's somewhat satisfying thinking around what you'd use and say to make the police suspect the right person. But it'd be nice if you could skip some sections of text as you do multiple runs. (My first run took 4 minutes, so expect multiple runs.)

As for cats, they're soft and cute, but they shed on everything, persist in finding new ways to claw furniture even as you add new protections and provide dedicated clawing surfaces, they're positively awful when they want something or if they're bored. My roommates' cat would claw the walls (and gosh that's a noise) and then stare at you to make sure you noticed, before starting again. I'm fond of our outdoor Western fence lizards and their pushup routine, and the fuzzy bold jumping spiders that look like little tanks.

Time wasting complete!

You said in a comment that the site is dying, which is depressing to hear since I only joined a few months ago. But I'm really loving it, especially just getting my brain around some of the puzzles here and stuff. I've never been part of a community that's into codes and ciphers before so I'm having a blast.

And I've won some great games. I was playing Orbital Bullet obsessively for weeks. Can't even articulate why, just something about the flow of the game hits the endorphins in the brain just right.

Anyway, I just hit level four and I'd love to be on your whitelist if you're sticking around?
