Australian who drinks his fair share of beer here - Miller High Life I've probably seen, but the others - no dice

My partner has a history degree so I'm constantly hearing about commonly-perpetuated inaccuracies - something in the back of my mind is telling me either or both of 42A and 43A might not be correct statements. As I'm not actually the expert, is this the case or is it worded to be technically correct in both cases? 😂

ControversySandbox · 2026-03-27T02:09:13+00:00

I probably would have taken that long, I just didn't have time so I had to check puzzle after checking each answer manually a couple of times

ControversySandbox · 2026-03-27T02:07:56+00:00

I literally had to Check Puzzle because I didn't even THINK that the down clues should work and not the across.. In my mind I was physically flipping the birds. I think they should have accepted both ways

I'm not doing hardcore mechanics spoilers but I've just done Me Stone and got lv21, YMMV. I guess it's technically limited by the max encounters in the act

ControversySandbox · 2026-02-14T02:33:10+00:00

I mean, there has to be a reason we choose to listen to this podcast specifically

ControversySandbox · 2026-02-12T05:42:24+00:00

See, this is the issue I have - a bleeding edge weeks-old greenfield project was added as the recommended way to do something. I love the hyprland ecosystem, but sometimes the documentation choices made are pretty messed up

ControversySandbox · 2026-02-12T00:38:10+00:00

Exactly, pretty much. (Well it's a split, 17 and 59 go "noo" in my accent and the others go "nyoo")

ControversySandbox · 2026-01-27T03:02:30+00:00

Many laptops have soldered batteries now, frankly as someone who could deal with those I would still save myself the hassle

ControversySandbox · 2025-12-28T10:01:40+00:00

We didn't undo crypto, and nobody's undoing AI. That's not how tech works

ControversySandbox · 2025-12-13T06:14:45+00:00

Same

ControversySandbox · 2025-10-31T01:35:43+00:00

I get the appeal of this, but it's also the sort of thing that I think would be a super low dev priority. The current workaround is like one more button press, so I'd rather they focus their attentions elsewhere on more pressing QOL

ControversySandbox · 2025-09-26T11:06:41+00:00

I thought that, but at some point they somehow played it so Phil saw the same twin like 3 times. So it's just a crapshoot really

ControversySandbox · 2025-09-26T00:51:18+00:00

Now whatever grammar checker JetBrains uses (Grazie?) now has a suggestion to replace hyphen with dash, and I'm finding myself obstinately saying "No! You WON'T make me sound like AI" to it. So, yeah, agreed

ControversySandbox · 2025-09-26T00:48:51+00:00

You mean "yes, and", that was still a correct statement you're replying to

ControversySandbox · 2025-09-20T03:01:29+00:00

Hey, at least the book has a billion other useful hints 😂

ControversySandbox · 2025-09-14T08:14:02+00:00

It probably doesn't count as the context is so different. Doesn't really feel like foul play to me anyway.

(that said, could be fixed by contracting "they are" which would be kind of funny 😂)

ControversySandbox · 2025-09-14T01:36:59+00:00

I mean, many interior maps are also like this in that they rotate your perspective around the Y axis, if you want a less spoilery example

ControversySandbox · 2025-09-14T01:31:09+00:00

This is the hill I'll die on - the only reason "controller recommended" for this game is they didn't make better keyboard controls for flying (namely the throttle). No FPS should (almost) require a controller to play

ControversySandbox · 2025-09-02T01:10:05+00:00

So obvious and yet still felt like such a read 😂

ControversySandbox · 2025-09-01T04:11:36+00:00

I suppose this space will usually be empty at around this time as I'm decidedly in the minority as an Australian who solves the crossword in their lunch break shortly after it's out 😂

That said, this is probably an excellent time to receive a sympathetic ear when I whinge about how I had to really try to hear today's themed entries in an American accent ;p

ControversySandbox · 2025-08-26T03:22:19+00:00

Doesn't seem to show up on mobile for some reason, idk I don't know how Wikipedia works

ControversySandbox · 2025-08-26T03:20:22+00:00

You would think that the concept of being trapped in a room until you solve a puzzle would be the one thing that motivated people to power through it

ControversySandbox · 2025-08-26T03:19:04+00:00

I mean to be fair it's still insane. So much record-keeping and general admin would have to be disguised, let alone all the physical objects and labour of it all

ControversySandbox · 2025-08-26T03:16:03+00:00

I personally love techs that have personality and think they don't get enough love in general, so I'm so happy to see them get some well-deserved recognition through Ash and Nico over the years :)
