This thread was a great subtle hint in itself! I’ve looked up two things so far and especially in the first instance, I had the right idea (I might’ve remembered the solution from a screenshot in the magazine, come to think of it) but it was a bit of a pixel hunting situation.
In the other case as well I had the right idea, but the hints are such subtle nudges that I’m not kicking myself over looking it up, unlike with a “traditional” walkthrough. This is great stuff!
