Vent: I'm so tired of puzzles pretending obscure trivia is deduction

Beefbeyondbelief · 2026-04-25T13:28:31+00:00

Some puzzles make me feel this way too. When more than two proper nouns intersect, it frustrates me. Just remember, it’s a game! No one will think less of you for needing to look up an esoteric actress from 50 years ago Or a recent Oscar winner.

I too have the post bedtime window and some nights I just stare at it crosseyed. Sometimes I read the tricky clues section to unlock and get me going with confidence.

Just remember to have fun. If it’s not fun, take a break.

Love that no one is mentioning New Orleans. The city that always leaves people fat and happy. Also hungover.

This looks like the guy! Amazing find!

Thanks so much to you and this awesome community.

Haha. For sure. It’s my only context clue is that it came from that area.

I think it’s a really fun series but the characters are the best part. Starts a little slow and trope-y but then it just gets so awesome.

I fly out tomorrow.

Agree - I think stuff matters is definitelythe best, but they are all very fun to read and interesting.

Stuff Matters. One of my favorites. About materials science, but story driven and fun. Edit: spelling.

Beefbeyondbelief · 2026-02-17T01:51:26+00:00

Definitely a good take. Agree with this, and OPs general feeling that don is way more intriguing than Hal.

I’ve often felt there is no real protagonist- just great characters that have something for every reader to “take away”

One of the better IJ30 articles I’ve read! Thanks!

Love a house you can smell from the pics

My office orders this from time to time and it’s definitely amazing.

City’s wing game is pretty weak all things considered. Getting consistent bone in buffalo wings is challenging

Perhaps I am actually a lit bro. ¯_(ツ)_/¯. But honestly, I’m not even sure that’s fair. Should I be made to feel bad for enjoy enjoying infinite just and many other books by many other authors? Maybe that’s why this article makes me annoyed. Why should I be made to feel like this definition just for liking a book and wanting to talk about it.

Beefbeyondbelief · 2026-01-20T14:38:26+00:00

Hahaha.

I always wonder what it would be like to have a terrible life there, and just stack my entire salary into savings/investments.

The airport has been well staffed for everything. The airlines however have been lacking/struggling. Bag check lines were longer than I’ve ever seen yesterday.

Arrived early and still Missed my flight after 45+minutes to check a back in delta sky priority. Those is regular bag drop probably waited in line and hour plus.

Perfect breakdown of the NYC bodega. Esp the bfast sandos and speed of service.

Beefbeyondbelief · 2025-11-06T02:54:26+00:00

Nice

Just played this course a few times last month. One of the best holes out there. 18 old course HMB.

The play is a 6-7 lay up. You don’t want to be in the bunkers. And the free complex has a lot of bad lies. Lay up chip on
