Yellow once again giving me more trouble than the so-called harder categories. I was definitely feeling less than confident with my guess for it even with only eight words remaining, whereas purple and blue stood out instantly to me from the start. As for green, I don't think I've ever heard of an everything bagel or an egg bagel. I'm far from a bagel connoisseur, however.

Gotta love those days when there are multiple words that fit a category. I especially dislike it when it's yellow, i.e. the category you'd think they'd expect you to get first, since they consider it the easiest group. I'm surprised I got purple, though I did look up the pronunciation of ohm to be sure I remembered it correctly.

I wasn't completely sold on my blue guesses, but yeah, this turned out to be a simple day for me, too.

My PC doesn't have a camera hooked up to it, so I'd be damn impressed.

You ever see/hear about those scam emails that say they hacked your webcam and recorded you as an attempt at extortion? I once got one, myself, despite the fact that my desktop doesn't have one and my laptops always have a piece of electrical tape over the built-in ones. I think I started to do it after I saw a story where they were interviewing Zuckerberg years ago and you could see the tape on his laptop, though I also try to make sure any webcam drivers are uninstalled, too (though who knows when a laptop might decide to try to reinstall things on its own).

Anyway, I'm also reminded now that I once clicked on a link to a news article about something gaming-related that was posted in a topic here, from a gaming website I'd never heard of, and I immediately started having pop-ups and redirects when trying to browse afterwards. I took it as an excuse to do a reformat and fresh install, then started using NoScript for a while after that one.

As a joke someone I knew sent me something which set off this looping gif filling my screen with the sound 'You are an idiot, you are an idiot, HA HA, HA HA!' on repeat. Restarting got rid of it.

That was the first one I remember seeing, too, though it was from one of the AOL chatrooms back in the day.

I breezed through this one, which is a nice change from the last few days. I don't know my movies well enough to have gotten blue.

I always get a kick out of it when I do these when I wake up, guess something I know is less than optimal because I'm too tired and rushed to think about it, and it turns out to be the right answer.

I just wanted to pop in to say that I'm currently completely stumped on everything and haven't tried anything yet. Hoping I'll be able to take a look later and things will make more sense.

Still, this is the first time I didn't even have a guess in mind.

Update: I didn't like this one at all, but I managed to stumble my way to a win.

My first guess was Panoramic ____, so I tried View, Window, Door, and Point. I wasn't sold on that last one, but it was the only remaining word that I thought might have fit. Of course, it was all wrong, anyway, and the fact that it didn't tell me I was one off made me sure that Panoramic wasn't the answer here. Next I tried green not because I understood the exact answer, but simply because I recognized them all as terms from my mathematics classes (and honestly, I was feeling frustrated at this point and was ready to just throw things out and see what stuck). For yellow, I was thinking of things that held other things together, since I saw three words that worked with that idea, and I threw out Pocket with them because I thought it was the closest fit from the remaining words. So that's another category I got without knowing the intended answer. I actually realized what blue was after most of the other words were gone, at least, and purple? I definitely wouldn't have gotten it on my own, especially because they made all of the words singular when the group names are all plural.

Yellow yet again giving me more trouble than the so-called harder categories. Dunno if I could've gotten purple on my own this time, either.

I'm kinda surprised it took this long to see his name pop up; he's literally only alive because of his anger and immediately dies if you convince him to give it up.

Funny how purple came instantly, then I had to sit and think about the others and still wasn't fully confident when I started to guess them. I wouldn't have gotten blue on my own, at least.

Easy day for me. Yellow wasn't what I'd consider difficult, either; I just didn't focus on one of the words in that category before finishing all of the others.

Just like yesterday, I wasn't feeling completely confident in my guesses (not even with yellow, i.e. the "easy" set), yet managed to ace it. I would understand if someone said they had trouble today.

Today felt weird for me, in that I wasn't 100% sure with my blue or green guesses, yet they turned out to be correct. Also, purple is dumb.

Well, at least I'm not alone here. I had the right idea for yellow, but tried to use Pico (as in pico de gallo). I sort of had the right idea for green, but tried to use words like Foot and Mole in some of my guesses. I probably would have gotten it if I had one more guess, but then I don't know if I could have figured out blue or purple this time.

I first tried to go for words with animal names, though I should've looked closely and saw that there were more than four of them before trying it. I definitely wouldn't have gotten purple before the others, either, as I literally associate none of those words with that subject. Lucky for me I could figure out the rest, huh?

I wonder if trying to do this right after I woke up was a bad idea. I was determined to fit List into green. I'd never heard of A-Rod, either, and judging from what I've seen from others on reddit, I'm not alone.

I can't say I can remember for sure which game I played first, but it was likely Super RC Pro-Am. That, or Pole Position for the 2600.

Probably could've gotten yellow sooner, but wasn't sold on curb being a part of it at first.

I shit you not, I always think of that line whenever that movie comes up and thought of it here, before I even clicked on the topic and saw what the video was. It was so bad it's been permanently burned into my psyche.

I haven't watched wrestling in over 18 years, so I'm surprised that popped up in my head first.

It's pretty much the only thing I'll eat from Wendy's any more - not that I really ever go. I don't think I've been there in over a year, and that was just to get some of the chili.

In less words: A.

I grabbed it from a Redbox when it first released and beat it, but I'll be honest, I barely remember anything about it. Literally the only party member I can recall is the quirky asari that annoyed the heck out of me. I can't even tell you what the story was beyond the initial premise, yet have no trouble remembering the original trilogy. Maybe I should try to replay it the next time I have access to it (if it was free at some point, I might have it on Origin, but if not, I'll give it a shot next time I get Game Pass Ultimate).

Then again, I recently replayed through the Dragon Age series and while I had no trouble with the first two (I'm probably one of the few crazies that like DAII), I barely got into Inquisition before stopping because it was too tedious and grindy for me, and I want to say I remember Andromeda being a bit similar to it in style when it came to quests/missions.

That's kinda what I was thinking when I saw this. Are there rules to keep people from posting political topics over there? If not, I assume this change is going to come with more rules about that to keep it contained here.

Guess this is one of those days where I struggle with an "easy" one to make up for the days where I breeze through a "hard" one. I first tripped myself up because I didn't associate External with blue and was trying other words instead, then I switched gears to purple and tried to put External into that group. Barely managed to squeak by.
