🟨 🟩 🟦 🟪 There's a website where you can play all of the previous Connections puzzles, and make your own! This site doesn't stop you after 4 mistakes, you can keep going, or reset. I linked a Connections I made myself (hit "Archive" at the top to see the NYT's previous puzzles and other user-made puzzles). Tell me what you think! #Connections #Puzzle

Finished my latest jigsaw, Bedroom in Arles by Vincent Van Gogh. A lovely painting and, mostly, a joy to work on. (The floor was a bit of struggle though with a piece-by-piece, brute force approach being the only real way to make progress.) You really get to see the painting emerge stroke by stroke. Fascinating.

On veut calculer :
√%. (Racine carrée de %)
Puisque x% veut dire x fois 1/100, on peut considérer que % = 1% = 1/100.
A partir de là,
√% = √(1/100) = √1/√100 = 1/10 = 0,1 = 10%
Donc :
√% = √(1%) = 10%,
C'est joli et étonnant, non ?

The Entropy Centre is a first-person puzzle game. It answers the question "What if the Portal gun controlled time instead of space, in a lab environment built by the architects of the Oldest House?" This is a game that capital-L Loves the brutalist architecture of Control.
This is not -technically- unplayed. I played the demo before it was released, then almost immediately purchased it, and forgot I'd purchased it.
That's not a bad thing; The Entropy Centre appears to have received a number of updates since it was released, so much so that it felt like I was playing it for the first time.
You ("Aria") wake up in a remote and overgrown and deserted lab, with no idea how you got there, or even *where* you are.
Upon starting your exploration of the facility, you encounter a gun that can rewind time, within a specific set of circumstances.
Given the sheer weathered and damaged state of the lab, this provides an in-game explanation for why it can only rewind some things, and not others.
Much like Portal, you have to make your way through test labs, and move boxes around to open doors.
Also much like Portal, there's an AI assisting you, but instead of being a disembodied voice, the AI ("Astra") AI is embodied in the gun itself.
Unlike Portal, though, you have to think in four dimensions, and frequently need to think through the solution, then reverse engineer it to work in reverse-time as well as in space.
As someone who enjoyed Portal and the many variations on the theme (Q.U.B.E. 2, Relicta), I also am enjoying this game.
It's just unfortunate for The Entropy Centre that my kids gave me Starfield for Dad's day, otherwise I'd be throwing the cubes around for the rest of the day because The Entropy Centre is:

Candle is a 2D adventure puzzle-platformer. The graphics are beautiful; the lush backgrounds and characters seemingly hand-painted.
You play as Teku, on a quest to save a tribe member from another tribe that has captured them, armed with the titular candle.
The illumination & lighting in the game is gorgeous.
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
When I load the game, it opens at a resolution of 1280x720, a full screen jagged square in the middle of my widescreen monitor. I set the resolution to 2560x1440. I turn off fullscreen. The window jumps off the screen. I kill the game, restart it. It starts at 1280x720. There is no way to save the resolution. This is foreshadowing.
The game opens with a cinematic, the narrator setting the stage for the world in which Teku lives.
A narrative technique attributed to Chekov (Anton, of the famed "gun", rather than Pavel, of the USS Enterprise), is "Show, don't tell". The devs seemingly disagree.
The narrator's tale continues...
...and continues...
...is he STILL going?
He is still going.
He does eventually stop talking, but he will be back to over-explain everything after I complete the first level.
My eyes come to rest upon Teku, becoming conscious in the middle of his burning village.
Teku stands. I move the control stick left. Teku walks. Slowly.
The game encourages me to press the left trigger to get Teku to run. Teku moves noticeably faster than Teku's walk, but to describe this as "running" is stretches the definition of run to near-breaking.
Teku reaches a ledge. "Press X to climb". I press X. Teku does not climb. Repeat. Same result.
I nudge the control stick. Teku moves a couple of pixels. I press X. Teku climbs.
I press on.
I am faced with an icon of a cube. Text appears onscreen.
Not to tell me what the cube means, but to tell me to open the menu to read the instructions to tell me what the cube means.
Show, don't tell.
I start encountering puzzles. The few clues available are frequently inscrutable.
Don't show, don't tell.
Several of puzzles require quick movement & precise timing.
Teku is neither.
Death comes frequently, & frustratingly. A tunnel that I have just exited, and can re-enter, becomes inexplicably inaccessible during a puzzle, with no indication of this.
I solve the puzzle. I start to climb. I reach a ledge. I am immediately killed.
I try again, repeatedly.
I die again, repeatedly.
Tired and frustrated, I quit to the desktop.
I really wanted to like Candle; it is gorgeous, but it feels like all of the love & care was given to the visuals, with little left over for things like UX, controls, or gameplay.
Sadly, Candle has been snuffed out with a disappointing:

The house chameleons are happy we've finally finished this #jigsawpuzzle after most of the month of August (here and there).
This was one where the top was pretty important because of the intricate (and impossible to guess because it's so whimsical) design.
Now we either have to choose a previous #jigsaw #puzzle to do again or go give business to the toy store that relocated within walking distance....

Desktop Dungeons: Rewind is Desktop Dungeons Enhanced Edition in 3D.
Literally.
Gone are the pixel-art bitmaps, replaced by glorious detailed 3D artwork.
The gameplay is (at least at this point) identical.
Like, last night I played through the first map multiple times before I understood it and beat it.
Tonight, exactly the same map, with the same mobs, and the same drops, but all in 3D.
So: Desktop Dungeons: Rewind is an isometric 3D roguelike dungeon crawler puzzle game.
Where last night it was a great example of a game where the gameplay overcomes my dislike of pixel-art games, now the fun gameplay is also pretty.
Still a pretty standard dungeon crawler. Explore the dungeon, attack mobs.
However, each square you uncover goes towards refilling your health and mana. You need to explore the fog of war to find mobs, but if you clear the fog of war and then try and kill the mobs, you're gonna have a bad time.
I cleared the first level with exactly the same strategy I used last night, still hooked. The only reason I didn't keep playing was that it ran into my actual work shift.
Between dungeons there's some resource management and basic city-building going on, but the game is designed to be played in short chunks. No change, just prettier city-building, in 3D!
In a shocking and surprising turn of events, Desktop Dungeons: Rewind is:

Desktop Dungeons Enhanced Edition is an updated version of Desktop Dungeons (Nov 7, 2013). I'm not exactly sure what makes it "Enhanced", but it was given away free earlier in the year, and if you owned this, you got the sequel "Desktop Dungeons: Rewind" for free, which seemed like a deal that was too good to be true.
Desktop Dungeons is a top-down bitmap pixel-art roguelike dungeon crawler puzzle game.
It's also a great example of a game where the gameplay overcomes my dislike of pixel-art games.
In one sense, it's a pretty standard dungeon crawler. Explore the dungeon, attack mobs.
However, each square you uncover goes towards refilling your health and mana. You need to explore the fog of war to find mobs, but if you clear the fog of war and then try and kill the mobs, you're gonna have a bad time.
It took me a few goes to get through the first level, but by the time I did, I was hooked.

Given today's exhaustion levels, I wanted something simple to play, and it just so happened that I got an email that Glass Masquerade was on special, as it's been on my wishlist for some time.
Glass Masquerade is a gorgeous stained-glass puzzle game, in which you're presented with a shape that you need to fill in with a series of random pieces arrayed around the outside of the play area, on two concentric "trays", with very much of a jigsaw puzzle vibe (without being a jigsaw).
The only downside is that it can be frustratingly fiddly to rotate the trays to find the piece you want.
It's beautiful, with a chilled soundtrack, and a great way to just kick back and relax when that's what I need.

Save Room is a military-themed organisational puzzle game.
It's pretty simple. You have a case. You have X amount of space in the case. You have guns, and ammo. Make everything fit, with nothing left over.
Later on you get extra bits and pieces. You have a health meter, and sometimes you have things that add and take away from health, and you might have to take away from your health with an item and then replenish your health with a booster, thus using up both items.
There's actually not a lot to say here. It's a fun little puzzle game, and not a bad way to chill out and kill some time.

Opus Magnum is a programming-puzzle game from Zachtronics. If you've encountered a Zachtronics game before, they're pretty much all along these lines. Well, they were along these lines, because in collecting some details about Opus Magnum, I learned that Zachtronics is no longer making games.
There are only a handful of Zachtronics games I don't own at this point. Infinifactory is on my wishlist, and Last Call BBS is available on Xbox Game Pass.
Opus Magnum is a puzzle game about programming and... alchemy?
Indeed, in Opus Magnum you build and program small machines to make increasingly complex alchemical formulae.
It's also a dangerous game for me, because it features my Kryptonite: systemisation & optimisation.
I've lost countless hours in these types of games just trying to systemise my processes.
But, as I discovered, Opus Magnum has a slightly keener edge. It has leaderboards. Not only am I trying to optimise my designs, but I can see that @tomcat is beating me.
It's a good thing I'm in a shooty shooty mood today instead of an optimisation mood, or I could see the rest of my day disappearing in this quirky little puzzle game.
The UX is a *little* bit confusing at first. It's not entirely clear how to start the first project. I clicked around on screen for a couple of minutes before unintentionally double-clicking on something I'd clicked on several times, but other than that, it seems pretty straightforward.
Opus Magnum seems:

Game: Call of the Sea

Playtime: 5h48m
Call of the Sea is a first-person 3D puzzle game, set on an island near Tahiti, in 1934.
You play as Norah Everhart, a woman trying to unlock the mystery of the disappearance of her husband on an expedition to this remote island.
I bought this game as part of an "International Women's Day" bundle, where all the games have female protagonists. Capitalism will find any excuse for a sale, but in this case, part of the money was going to charity, and I wanted more games with female protagonists, so it felt like a win/win.
This is a wonderful game. The graphics are lush and gorgeous, and the puzzles are mostly of the kind that pushed me just enough that I enjoyed them, but not so much that you need to keep a walkthrough open in a web browser. The kind that are satisfying to solve.
The kind that kept me playing non-stop until I'd completed the game. The last game that hooked me into playing through in a single session was Firewatch, which is one of my all-time favourite games, and Call of the Sea comes close.
The game opens with Norah waking up from an odd dream, in a cabin on a ship, which has just reached its destination.
As Norah looks down at her hands, they're covered in small brown blotches, and her voiceover starts talking about her illness. These blotches are symptoms of her illness, and her husband's expedition to this remote -and possibly cursed- island was an attempt to find a cure.
It's Norah's illness that is at the core of this game. While to say more would involve spoilers, I think if this were just a puzzle game, I'm not sure it would have hooked me. But Norah's story, the mystery of her illness, but a smart & capable woman who refuses to let her illness define her, and whose relationship with her husband appears to be one of equals, drew me in, and as each puzzle solution revealed a little bit more of the story, I just wanted to solve one more puzzle.
The call on Call of the Sea is:
