      Everything ends up in a loop... Online Play Link Hotaru Beam a.k.a. Firefly rules (From puzz.link ): Draw a line from every firefly to make one connected network. A black dot indicates where each firefly's path must start. A path cannot connect directly between two black dots. Paths cannot branch, cross or go through another path or firefly. A number indicates how many turns the firefly's path makes before reaching a firefly (possibly itself). Paths starting from empty circles can make any amount of turns.

    Haven't touched this site cause of other stuff like "real life" and "distractions". Let's hope I still remember how to make a puzzle. This one is kind of a two-trick pony though. Online Play Link Guide Arrow rule (From puzz.link ): Shade some cells on the board. Shaded cells cannot be horizontally or vertically adjacent. All unshaded cells on the board form an orthogonally connected area. Unshaded cells cannot form a loop. This includes 2x2 squares. Cells with a clue cannot be shaded. An arrow indicates the only direction in which one could begin a path to the star without going through a shaded cell or backtracking. (This genre was invented by Inaba Naoki.)

    So you know how when I'm kinda stressed I use making puzzle as an escape from reality? On an unrelated note here's a big Masyu. Online Play Link Masyu rule (From  Nikoli ): Make a single loop with lines passing through the centers of cells, horizontally or vertically. The loop never crosses itself, branches off, or goes through the same cell twice. Lines must pass through all cells with black or white circles. Lines passing through white circles must pass straight through its cell, and make a right-angled turn in at least one of the cells next to the white circle. Lines passing through black circles must make a right-angled turn in its cell, then it must go straight through the next cell (till the middle of the second cell) on both sides.

Me, trying to force intended logic: Yes... ha ha... YES ! Also me, hit with unresolvable uniqueness problem: Screw this I'm out. Online Play Link Rules of Yajilin (from puzz.link ): Shade some cells on the board, and draw a single loop that goes through all remaining cells. 1. The loop cannot branch off or cross itself. 2. Shaded cells cannot be orthogonally adjacent. 3. Cells with numbers or question marks cannot be shaded, and are not part of the loop. 4. A number indicates the amount of shaded cells in the given direction.

Well this might be a bit too hard, but I had fun setting it so good luck. Online Play Link  (Edit: Oops the link was wrong) Rules of Shugaku (School Trip) (Translated from  this site ): 1. Place numerous 1 by 2 blocks (futons) onto the board (vertically or horizontally). In addition, put a □ (pillow) in one of the squares for each futons. If the futon is placed vertically, the pillow must not be on the upper half (north-facing pillows are considered bad luck). 2. Futons cannot be laid on the circles (pillars). 3. If there's a number in the pillar, it indicates how many  pillows  are adjacent to its 4 sides. 4. All squares that are not covered with either futons or pillars are considered aisles. Each futon must touch at least one aisle square on one of its sides. 5. All aisles must be connected. The aisles cannot form a 2 by 2 square.

 Logic puzzle is a mistake. Online Play Link Tatamibari rule (From  puzz.link ): Draw lines over the dotted lines to divide the board into regions. 1. Each region contains exactly one clue. 2. A vertical line indicates that the region is a rectangle where the height is larger than the width. 3. A horizontal line indicates that the region is a rectangle where the width is larger than the height. 4. A plus sign indicates that the region is a square. 5. Region borders must not form 4-way intersections.

  How I escape from responsibilities and other stuff: make random logic puzzles. Therefore if you see me posting more of these, it means that I should really be doing other stuff like sleeping or working on stuff that actually matters. Online Play Link Shikaku rule (From  Nikoli , with some modification): Divide the grid into rectangles along the grid line. Each rectangle would contain only one black circle.  If there is a number in the black circle, it shows the number of cells in the rectangle. Otherwise, the rectangle can be any size.
