Welcome to my profile! While I figure out what I'm even doing here (besides following friends), my posts will probably be standard social media fare. Expect pet pics, food I decided to cook that day, and the occasional self-promo. Just don't expect too much; I am a professional lurker after all 😛

Today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution was redone about 5 different times, but each time the entire right side configuration (including the long S at the top) kept popping up. Glad I stuck with it, because after I found a place for the T, things finally clicked.

Onto the weekend!

What? No, I totally didn't forget about today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution! Why would you think that?

Hm? No, that's ridiculous! I definitely didn't secretly do it last night and forget everything about the solving process. What a silly idea. Do you even hear yourself?

Today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution balances out yesterday's by taking several tries to actually find. I can't even call out a couple of pieces for not working with me this time, because it was basically all of them giving me trouble at one point or another. Oh well, we got there in the end!

Today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution is another simple one with no pick-ups after each piece's placement; the third* one in the last week. I'm not going to complain though, especially since I've been busy since 7am today.

(*one of those last week, I technically had to pick up one piece once)

Today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution was a nice and tidy two-try. The main challenges were the short S and the Z (which I originally had nearly swapped in terms of position), as well as the small L. Not the usual cast of pieces that give me trouble, but it was still only a small amount in the end.

Today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution gives us the fastest solve of the month, and on the last day of the month, no less. I had a vision for the trickiest part: the bottom left with the rare two open spaces, and once that worked, it was basically done.

Today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution was almost late again. It's been an eventful, yet restful, long weekend for me, so my normal routine where I start the day with this puzzle has been put on hold.

Anyways, the I pieces was making it tricky, but once that was in place the rest didn't take long.

Today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution (and also yesterday's - whoops) has open spaces in the bottom right that are spaced apart just perfectly to sneak a zigzag and a long piece in, getting two tougher pieces out of the way early. And after placing the T, it was basically solved!
November 28, 2025 at 3:09 PM
Today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution felt like it just wasn't going to work. I had the right side nailed down pretty early, but couldn't get the left side easily. I was down to one piece, the small L, and put it where I had already placed something else, and kept that up until this happened.

Today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution once again became trivial once I swapped the initial positions I had in mind for the long L and I pieces.

...it also didn't help that my initial attempt was accidentally solving for a Friday instead of Tuesday 😅. Guess I'm just looking ahead to some time off!

Notice!
No streams this week due to having a friend in for the next week + the Thanksgiving holiday!

Shorts may go down to one a day.

Long form videos for Pokemon Z-A and Xenoblade Chronicles X DE will resume as usual.

Have a great week everyone!

For attention: Probe.

Today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution, was a nice and easy one to start the week. After starting from scratch, only one piece had to be picked back up once placed, and it was the I, which was originally set where the long L is now. The long S placement feels especially satisfying the way it worked.
November 24, 2025 at 3:08 PM
It's not often in the series that I have to turn the Z piece sideways, especially in the middle of the board. But that (and the U placement, as always) was the key for today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution.
November 23, 2025 at 1:30 PM
Today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution was tough to come by, taking several tries. However, each unsuccessful attempt was very similar to what would ultimately be the final one. Once I found a place for the Z at the bottom and the T at the top (instead of insisting on the opposite) it all clicked.

TOMORROW IS THE CHARITY STREAM DAY!

8 AM CST, I'll be live with some dear friends raising money for Trans Lifeline.

We're playing some Valheim with crowd control, so you get to torture us in the name of providing support to those in need!

We'll see you bright and early! <3

Today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution featured more navigating gaps on the right using difficult pieces, with the ultimate goal of keeping pieces that play nicer with one another to fill in the void on the left side.

Tomorrow, we go back to "normal" when the day square moves to the left once more.
