Don't watch this video of cursed word searches

  • The reason you shouldn't watch this video is because I made the incredibly stupid choice of playing background music with the same title as one of the words because I thought it was a good meme. Instead I have utterly ruined the viewing experience by playing music that I didn't even make and cutting all around it. Yes I tried to use machine learning tools to remove the music and it didn't work (but I would be thankful if someone knows one that works I guess). I'm posting this just because people deserve to know about this game and people use my channel to find cool puzzle stuff.
    Anyway it'd otherwise be named "Word Searches that slowly get more cursed".
    playcebo.itch.io/12-word-sear...
    (the music overlaid is PlatinumQuest - Astrolabe. that game is one of the best platformer/speedrunning games, but anyway)

    What I particularly liked about this video was the feasibility of puzzling ahead. You linked the source, I paused the video, did it myself and then came back here, to see you solve it. SUPER satisfying. Of course you approached it much smarter than me 😆. I'll repeat what I said in the compliments video. This is amazing, high-level content. And you don't take yourself to serious all the while and make us laugh. Especially with out of the blue stuff like 19:50 😆.
