Thanks! I've redeemed these four, leaving the other three for someone else.

Now back to bashing my head against the LEGO LotR puzzle... :P

Thanks for the games, redeemed SteamWorld Heist, Hard West 2 is no longer available, it was redeemed by someone else.

Thanks once again, for the generous gifts, but especially for the fun, well crafted puzzle.
You can tell the easier ones by how fast they go ^_^
It made me think of those good old, very crude golf computer games.

I was late to the party but still managed to snatch Hard West 2.
Many thanks to you Palestine!

(edit: I was just late to post my thanks)

If the games have been redeemed, could someone explain how you solved the puzzles? I would like to try to solve some of the future ones, but for these I didn't really know where to even begin.

For the golf one, the first thing to note is that the numbers in #6945 are all below 360. Also, you have to look at golf.png at full resolution.

As an assistive hint, I had listed some of the characters associated with a given number. This establishes that, if uncertain (that these are degrees of navigational heading), one should use the provided values as a basis for determining the meaning of the others. You may notice that there is a certain pattern (they are based on the number 15). Just as gogtrial34987 had mentioned, 345 (which refers to T) is the highest listed number (000 can also be interpreted as 360). From the available information, one can deduce the corresponding number of the remaining characters.


Just now, I had generated lines starting precisely in the center (pixel) of the human figure, ending in the exact middle of the golf 'holes'. For my own benefit, while designing the puzzle, it would have been useful to possess this... but, I had only measured the separation of 'holes' with my eyes (internally). Now, I notice that the degrees of heading are not as accurate as I would have preferred.

Thank you, yes I understand now. The original image was so small on my screen that noticing the numbers & letters was difficult, but once I zoomed in enough I saw them.

Update: On 2024-12-25, as the code had been set to expire on 2024-12-27, it had been given to a user. As far as I am aware, the puzzle itself has yet to be solved.

So many codes, I've checked a few I would use but all redeemed, posted 1h ago and no single "thank you"? :(

So even I was too late to use any of them - Bitsadmin: thank you :)

Checked them all, all gone.

Such is the fate of codes posted in the clear on a public forum.
I didn't take any, but I still want to thank you for being awesome like that. I do hope that someone, somewhere, will enjoy playing those games you so selflessly gave away.

Well, yes, but such big pack is rarely seen and not a single thanks looks really bad. :/

Yup, especially since you need a GOG account to redeem them anyway, so you'd think they'd pop onto the thread they found them in on just to say thanks.

Eh, how many do you think were even grabbed by real people and not a bot set to watch the thread and nab anything posted in the clear the instant it shows up?
