The "Google everything" has its limits though.

Remember that book I found? xD
Also "Snowy + dominatrix" wasn't so helpful either - I know a lot more about a certain Alexandra Snow however.

I was so sure I'd solved that 7+4 riddle too. I was thinking RPG, D&D... Then the hint was that art of swords and armor and I was like "Sword Art Online, that must be it". Well, the disappointment was big ^^

Organizized · Jun 22, 2021

I thought the 2 Europeans was about Tintin (and Captain Haddock) because of the Snowy clue.. even took extra notice of the Asterix thread when I scrolled past it - bc it was one of my fav comics as a kid and not broadly discussed - but was too focused on finding Tintin stuff..

And I’ll admit I JUST now fully understood the clue, Dominatrix and that. :fail

z.5 · Jun 22, 2021

I love Asterix - and when I saw that we had a thread dedicated to it, I knew I had to have a riddle to guide more people there

Ah yeah, googling variations of “up the bum, in the butt” etc (even along with some laundry related keywords) doesn’t really give the desired results either…

I really thought that was about some cyborg/android/robot who would do laundry for you (found a thread about sex AI bots and zimb had even posted there but alas).

In the end I thought it was about Wash from BnHA. I imagined if he met Franky from OP, since Franky puts Cola in his stomach to be superrrr, he’d imagine Wash puts tide pods up his behind to be super(-hero) as well.

That’s how farfetched my thinking was at the end.

At least you got the correct Franky

I just hope that I managed to ruin a lot of your google/youtube recommendation lists

because of the Snowy clue...

... also, in my defence, I did specifically state that

z said:
It's not Snowy

Organizized · Jun 22, 2021

I get that this

z said:
***y* **r*

is “Tokyo Gūru”, but what is the asterisk’d hint supposed to say?

That hint literally had me shout “WHAT!?” at my screen when I got it.

Listen, the word Snowy was there and with these riddles that’s all that matters most of the time… :notlikethis

I can explain the reasoning given by the one who made it, but I refuse to accept any responsibility for that 'riddle'

someone who I suspect would rather go unnamed said:
Reasoning: It's all about the romanization of Japanese titles. Tokyo Ghoul (Tokyo Guru) and Light novel (Raito noberu)

Listen, the word Snowy was there and with these riddles that’s all that matters most of the time…

Words are important, yo!

Rarely do I try and waste them when I make riddles for important games, like this
:hmph

GrySun · Jun 22, 2021

When the hint is harder than the riddle

Copy Panda · Jun 22, 2021

when the hint makes the riddle harder

aiight ya'll better bring it back next year or imma break z gamophone :pwnge

z.5 · Jun 23, 2021

To even threaten such a thing...

GrySun · Jun 23, 2021

I hope we still get some fun stats like solved/unsolved hints, who solved what, who made which riddle(I only saw Demon, goldb and z comments, but maybe more people did some riddles?).

Little spoiler of things to come:
Farf has already made a nice table for you lot
I was working on another one, but I ain't the most skilled artist (so I sent to Farf for a 2nd opinion)

So don't fret, stuff will arrive in time (only, some of us are rather busy at the moment)
