Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
I know of Minesweeper, but never actually played it (I've always been a Mac guy). Do fill-a-pix puzzles demand reconsider of the overall puzzle when you solve one little aspect, or is it more sequential in approach. That's what I find gives nonograms their happy juice—being confronted with what seems like a dead end (short of guessing) and then finding that one spot where there is only one answer, then that revelation alters the possibilities for other parts of the grid, so that, eventually, the only solution becomes apparent. It's that forced reconsideration of what seemed confounding after changing one little bit of information—I love that so much.Wolter wrote: ↑24 Oct 2017, 3:34pmI think of fill-a-pix as kind of a minesweeper in reverse, but without the permadeath if you fuck up.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑24 Oct 2017, 6:22amI took a quick peak at a fill-a-pix puzzle.

An observation: a lack of work ethic may very well save your life one day.
My best friend of almost 30 years left work two hours early because his work sucks and he wanted to go to the yarn store. The car/shooter (yet to be determined if shots were fired) struck right in front of his office building in NY. Thankfully, he was safely ensconced at Purl Soho getting yarn for his new granny blanket project.
