Did you enjoy Blue Prince? Do you feel like being a genuine hero?

Iggy, one of the lead playtesters for Blue Prince, needs a kidney.

Reposting for reach is a great way to help - or, could that be you? Who knows what magic the internet is capable of ✨

Let's try to help connect the dots here!
Hi folks, this is again a plea for help. There still is no cleared donor. People working through the system but again-if you're at all interested in trying to help, it takes months to get cleared as a donor. There's a lot of delays/appointments.
So please consider and spread it around, thank you.
I am afraid I have absolutely terrible news. I need a lot of help now, from everyone. I currently have NO CLEARED DONOR for transplant and we only have a short period of time to get this done. Please SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE AND PLEASE TRY TO DONATE!
All the information is at iggyland.org

Hello, friends! After 10(!) years of #AdventOfCode, I've made some changes to preserve my sanity: there will be 12 days of puzzles each December (still starting Dec 1) and there is no longer a global leaderboard. Read more:
