I wish you could just throw your computer in the dishwasher and call it a day.

I've done this.My dad one time found a computer buried in the mud. I took it apart, washed all the components separably. I ended up chucking the power supply. Put the motherboard, and ram in the dishwasher, and let it dry for 2 weeks. Put in a spare floppy drive, and power supply. It booted up and ran fine.

Please post a step by step solution.

The answers to the calculus questions were OGNNOODDD.
The answers to the trivia questions:
Vais
Gifv
Dicks (his real name was Edward de la Fontaine)
Arthur ("peanut butter sandwich" and "pearls before swine" refer to PBS, while "believe in yourself" refers to the theme song)
Lieu (in English it's pronounce like "ly-oo", but it's different in French)
Passchendaele (Aquaman refers to Arthur Currie, since Aquaman's name is Arthur Curry)
Patrick (his house is a rock)
Stewart (Patrick Stewart was Claudius in Hamlet and Professor X)
Y (Why)

If you looked at the puzzle, I mentioned the number 131 and made a joke about "Edward de la Dong". The real name of Dicks (third answer) was Edward de la Fontaine, which I thought would be a big hint. I also mentioned "1O1" in a later clue. The guy that posted a while ago about the letters of the calculus answers and the "difficulty ratings" corresponding to the letters in each trivia answer was right, but they didn't figure out that 131 and 1O1 are significant. "1O1" refers to the letters you are supposed to use in the third answer. The "O" corresponds to the three letters in the middle, as D is 1, O is 2, N is 3, and G is 4 according to the poem in the puzzle. After taking the letters from every trivia answer, you can unscramble them to get "Fuck trivia giveaways".

I don't really see the point. I have the majority of my games stored on a 1 TB 7200 RPM HDD, then I switch them back and forth between my main SSD when I want to play. I also have a separate SSD for Linux.

I am do for a format however, and I like to delete my storage drive during those periods. I will have to cycle back to 8.1, as I want to keep my Windows 10 activation alive for a new build.

So, you just let the games you've finished dust on the disk?

LiS 2 is more than likely going to be a sequel in nothing more than name and maybe the time mechanics. They've been hinting at such.

i think the rewind mechanic is too good a concept to ditch on a sequel

but yeah, new characters pls

or maybe a victoria spinoff

Makes about as much sense as this.
 

Dongs Macabre

aka Daedalos42
I did a poor job explaining it, so I'll try to explain it better.

Basically, once you get the third question, you should noticed that the guy's name was Edward de la Fontaine.

In my puzzle, I made a joke about an Edward de la Dong who lived 131 years ago. 131 is the important clue.

For every one of my questions, I put a seemingly arbitrary difficulty rating. For the third question, it was 1/1, and the answer to the calculus question was O.

If you read the shitty poem I wrote, you would find out that O means 3 letters.

In one of my hints, I also mentioned "1O1", which is the same thing as "131"

That means you get rid of "1" letter in the beginning, "1" letter at the end, then you're left with 3 letters, or the "O"

If you get these letters from every answer, you can then unscramble them and get "Fuck trivia giveaways"


Every thing except the very last part was figured out though, so I don't think they were that big of a leap, but I definitely had too many steps. I kind of just wanted to make the answer "Fuck trivia giveaways", and so I kind of just made it up as I went along. Next time I do something like this I definitely won't have calculus though
(or maybe only calculus)
.

No, the Riddler riddles always has answers that were clear and easy to figure out if you think about it. That is just a clusterfuck above.

Riddler and the Joker's riddles got super convoluted in Scott Snyder's run.

Yeah, I mean, if you're going to make a trivia giveaway were the answer is "Fuck trivia giveaways" then he completely succeeded.

Trivia giveaways suck.

Dicks (his real name was Edward de la Fontaine)
Arthur ("peanut butter sandwich" and "pearls before swine" refer to PBS, while "believe in yourself" refers to the theme song)
Lieu (in English it's pronounce like "ly-oo", but it's different in French)
Passchendaele (Aquaman refers to Arthur Currie, since Aquaman's name is Arthur Curry)
Patrick (his house is a rock)
Stewart (Patrick Stewart was Claudius in Hamlet and Professor X)
Y (Why)

If you looked at the puzzle, I mentioned the number 131 and made a joke about "Edward de la Dong". The real name of Dicks (third answer) was Edward de la Fontaine, which I thought would be a big hint. I also mentioned "1O1" in a later clue. The guy that posted a while ago about the letters of the calculus answers and the "difficulty ratings" corresponding to the letters in each trivia answer was right, but they didn't figure out that 131 and 1O1 are significant. "1O1" refers to the letters you are supposed to use in the third answer. The "O" corresponds to the three letters in the middle, as D is 1, O is 2, N is 3, and G is 4 according to the poem in the puzzle. After taking the letters from every trivia answer, you can unscramble them to get "Fuck trivia giveaways".

I did a poor job explaining it, so I'll try to explain it better.

Basically, once you get the third question, you should noticed that the guy's name was Edward de la Fontaine.

In my puzzle, I made a joke about an Edward de la Dong who lived 131 years ago. 131 is the important clue.

For every one of my questions, I put a seemingly arbitrary difficulty rating. For the third question, it was 1/1, and the answer to the calculus question was O.

If you read the shitty poem I wrote, you would find out that O means 3 letters.

In one of my hints, I also mentioned "1O1", which is the same thing as "131"

That means you get rid of "1" letter in the beginning, "1" letter at the end, then you're left with 3 letters, or the "O"

If you get these letters from every answer, you can then unscramble them and get "Fuck trivia giveaways"


Every thing except the very last part was figured out though, so I don't think they were that big of a leap, but I definitely had too many steps. I kind of just wanted to make the answer "Fuck trivia giveaways", and so I kind of just made it up as I went along. Next time I do something like this I definitely won't have calculus though
(or maybe only calculus)

Just reminds me of this scene...
