Day 29: "Note"

The Solution

"NOTE" plus "clip.websi" equals noclip.website, one of the most important online resources for video game nerds. What game are we looking for, though? Well, it appears to be a racing game, so we could search for "racing." We could search for "adventure," as clued by the first paragraph.

The letters marked with black diamonds (get it?) spell the answer, RACECAR.
