Some terrifically titled papers from a discovered collection of NASA research documents found in a skip

I remember you coming to Tourcoing for a gamejam festival. My little brother played your game, and you complimented him on the way he put his fingers on the keyboard. You gave me a "P" floppy disk and it became one of my most prized possession.

let's keep sharing the post and donate if you're able to!!!

A man: "Whyyyyy am I so miserable all the time" The same, but she's now a woman: "Ok that helped but everything else is still fucked"

It has now been four years

Should artists get a basic income like they do in Ireland? Could the government pay salaries to musicians and artists - no strings attached like they do in Ireland?

The correct answer to this is "Yes, and everyone else too."

what happens when you give 3 different authors the exact same TINY sprite sheet? you get 3 COMPLETELY different PICO-8 games!! it's...

EU friends, please take a moment to sign this initiative, especially if you're from the countries still below the support threshold

No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.

Oh, that's intended behavior then! The challenge is to find a set of three guesses that will break all rules. It's a different sort of puzzle, that you can only really try after solving the puzzle normally. I hope that's clearer 😌

Darynda Jones: The fact that there’s a Highway to Hell and only a Stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic numbers

me (nodding wisely): car owners will go to hell, got it

(This rule is another artefact of the puzzle engine, I need to remove it from Scriddle)

The "See Rules" page sometimes lack the "There must be at least one shaded cell in the grid" rule. 😅

I didn't know, my best tentative was 4 😄

Seems like you can!

Ah, I explained it poorly then. That's a challenge you can try *after* solving it for the first time. You can refresh the page to restart playing

I'd love to see the full credits roll of our larp

- A group of fully grown adults collapsed into emotional rubble this week after encountering a teacher title that did not personally receive their approval. The incident triggered mass Facebook posts, legal threats, and a community-wide reminder that the people screaming "kids are too soft" cannot emotionally survive one new word. Parents immediately announced they were pulling children from music class, threatening lawsuits, and demanding firings, all because children accepted something calmly, politely, and without a meltdown. This response enraged adults, who had worked very hard to be upset. Children processed the situation in under 30 seconds. Adults have now entered day three of spiral posting. Several parents described the issue as "dangerous" and "immoral," words they apparently reserve for situations involving tambourines and basic respect. One adult warned that children might ask questions, confirming the real horror is not gender, but curiosity. The fragility on display has been remarkable. These are the same adults who mock participation trophies, complain about snowflakes, and brag about "how we were raised." That upbringing, it turns out, produced people who short-circuit when reality fails to match their Facebook comfort zone.

Experts note that not one child reported confusion, distress, or identity crisis. However, dozens of adults reported being personally wounded, spiritually attacked, and victimized by the existence of a teacher who did not cater to their feelings. At press time, children remained fine. Music class remained fine. The school remained fine. Only the adults were broken, trembling before the terrifying idea that the world does not freeze until they approve it. Community Note: If you would like to counter the noise, the district needs supportive messages reminding them that calm, inclusive adults still exist and that children do not need to be rescued from basic human respect. The encourages these parents to locate the nearest mirror and ask themselves why a second grader has more emotional stability than they do.

Lmao apparently people near me are freaking out about a non binary teacher

And I am watching the entire community come together to dunk on the much smaller group of transphobic dipshits and it is DELICIOUS

The local newspaper even snarkily wrote about them and I am CRYING

Yes, you're missing three rules. Almost there!

Deliberate! It's surprising, but there's no bugs there.

Well done!

10 check icons in a circle, forming a rainbow of colors. They're titled "Guess #4".

and if you're a bit sad about the end of this series, I have an extra challenge for you:

🌈In Scriddle #31, can you line up *every* respected rule icon in 4 guesses? You win if your screen shows this:
