Feel like I just got shod in the urano
@Dave K. RESTEASY, the president is a DOCTOR
Really struggled getting through this, thought I was dead but pushed through for a very rare, hint-less Saturday solve. And then, as always, come here to see everyone complaining about how easy it was. Crosswords will never not make me feel stupid. Thanks NYT.
Nearly gave up on the NW corner, yuck. But every once in a while I'm amazed at how a constructor manages to pull an idea off. Definitely one of the best of the year so far.
@Dan You'd have a point if the clue read "Grocery shops without a partner" as in "I just free solo'd Whole Foods", but it is a term used specifically in climbing.
We've entered a new era of TOOT and I'm here for it.
Kudos to "Five train in Brooklyn". Cool theme.
@David Pearce I imagine the runner-up family has one. That is insane.
I'm a little rusty but this was an absolute slog for me. Good Friday workout (now where's my pastry?).
I'm reminded of how proud I am of myself for growing out of the Oxford comma, so good puzzle.
I looooved the clueing and fill today. It's funny how you feel as if you get to know a constructor from their puzzle. Have Adam back please.
@Petrol I mean, I thought the Eros and Han Solo references were fairly dated as well
@H.E. Agree, I had KIT initially. A 'mod' is usually something that modifies the underlying game, not something that modifies a particular character.
@Rachel Excellent puzzle Rachel!
@loftyc Those 40-year-old kids and their loud rap music...
I'm happy to tolerate bad fill and questionable cluing for a good theme but now I'm frustrated to the point of being overhot and need a nap like Casey Affleck
@B as someone stated above, I don't think anyone would be complaining if the circles were removed.
@Alina From "playing hooky" meaning skipping school usually
Nice, easy Tuesday. Found all the theme answers before getting to the revealer disappointingly but cute theme and good fill.
If I solve a Friday without lookups in 23 minutes, it's probably an easy one. But I had fun with this. Great fill and challenging enough (for me). It's nice to feel like you might be getting better at these even if it's just an illusion lol.
@JohnWM Hilarious if true. I'm having trouble finding a source for this though, curious where you saw this.
@Dan as it turns out, "solo" is also a climbing term.
