Clues By Sam

Posting here in the hopes that typing this out will make me remember the name of the site: if you like logic puzzles, Clues by Sam is a fun little daily logic puzzle.

That is all.

Look! I remembered to post before December started this year!

Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means [staff profile] karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.

What I Just Finished Reading

Nothing. As you can tell, the past few weeks have really been Surprise Medical Problem Time, and while I have my brain back most of the time, I am not really having a lot of energy for sustained focus.

What I'm Reading Next

I just started reading a f/f tennis rivals-to-lovers name-on-wrist soulmate romance novel because I guess this is just what Real Books are like now.

Dead Space

I feel like I should post something. I have a bunch of half-finished video game review posts, but instead you get me half-assing a brand new game review. The review's brand new, I mean. The game's not. This is the PS5 remake of Dead Space, a sci-fi horror action-adventure game from... uh... some time ago. I'm not actually going to look anything up to write this. This is going great already.

You may have noticed that I can't actually really play action games. I can't! Nor do I own a PS5! But I do enjoy watching other people play video games, a pastime that is much easier to engage in now that Twitch and Discord exist, and my internet friend [personal profile] phoenixmetaphor likes to stream games and is kind enough to stream them while I am on voice chat and can help solve the puzzles. So I feel like I played the game even though technically I did not press the buttons. I have witnessed a lot of games in this manner, and it's just that my thoughts on Dead Space are shorter than my thoughts on Clair Obscur, any Dragon Age game (I have a half-finished massive review of Veilguard), the Silent Hill 2 remake, or, like, thirteen different Resident Evil games.

(Phoenix really likes the horror genre. I mostly hate horror movies/TV (my startle reflex is overactive and really painful, hooray for cerebral palsy) but I'm fine with games (provided someone tells me if there's spiders or eye injury) and mostly I just like watching my friends play games. And I like helping solve the puzzles, which rules out watching people I don't know, because they don't want you to do that.)
