So, keep reading.Ī Quick Note Before We Begin – if you want to make jaw-dropping presentations, I would recommend using one of these Presentation Designs. Finally, we will also have some tips to help prevent it from happening in the future. Today we will be taking a close look at why your PowerPoint opens off-screen, what you should do to fix it if it happens to you. These are two problems that have their own respective solutions. You might also have set your presentation to display on a second monitor that is not present. You might have previously opened PowerPoint on a second monitor that is no longer present. There are two main reasons why your PowerPoint might be opening off-screen and they both involve a second screen. The thing with computers, as great as they are, they can sometimes throw us some curveballs, in this case, it might be that our PowerPoint is opening off-screen. If we are especially busy, this can be even worse.

Also, sorry.Īll Buried Treasure articles are funded by Patreon backers. Hexologic is an excellently presented puzzle game, offering some lighter fair than your Hexcells-like challenges, and it’s incredibly cheap. I can’t help wish the bulk of the game had been more like these bonus puzzles, but then I’m amazing and clever and loved by all who meet me.

Complete the game and a further 21 unlock in groups of 3, and these are much more involved. The puzzles themselves are neatly and clearly laid out, and the interaction is a single click throughout. Its cartoony approach is lovely, most especially the puzzle selection screen that evolves as you play into increasingly pretty detail. However, I really think this is made up for by the presentation. In this, it doesn’t capture the elegance of the best logic puzzlers. It’s an ugly way to solve puzzles, but pretty easy to do in your head. While the concept often reminded me of Kakuro puzzles, so much so that it was a mental effort not to see “7” and think “4 2 1”, here there were rather too many moments where the more complicated route to a solution could be easily shortcutted by noticing a point where only 2 or 1 could go in, and very quickly running the two options to see which ends in a dead end. I have a slightly more constructive criticism. And as such might relish in the gentle puzzles of Hexologic. There remains the chance that you’ll not have spent as many hours as I have in the last month replaying Tametsi, struggling over its latter puzzles, studying the methods of inn0centive on his YouTube channel, and perhaps have more friends. And, look I’m sorry, but it was puzzle 89 where I thought, “Oh great! This is getting tricky now!” It turns out there are 90 puzzles.īut, and this is why my intro was such a mess: I think people who are less disturbingly obsessive about playing games like these with every scrap of their spare time might maybe find the challenge arrives earlier? Oh God, even framed like that I’m still saying, “I’m probably better than you, little thicky person, and you’ll find this hard even though I found it easy.”īut I’m not! I don’t even know you! You’re probably way smarter than me, and will think, “John’s so dumb, puzzle 89 was so simple a baby could have solved it in less time.” Well shut up, it didn’t take me long! I just enjoyed the solving process. I started off clicking through the early levels, seeing where the challenges might come from, but waiting for them. In all these things, your goal is to have every row, column and diagonal correctly totted up. There are cumulative hexes which total the numbers of dots placed in tiles related to them. There are pre-filled hexes, there are hexes with coloured borders where the number entered in one applies to all the others of the same colour. The further you get, the more elements are added in.

And of course lines cross over one another, and from thence the challenges arise. The number of dots in each straight line of cells must match the number at the end of said line. This is a SUPERBLY presented puzzle game, in which you must enter one, two or three dots into each hexagonal cell in the puzzle.

Let’s go somewhere safer, and talk about the game itself.
