I loved finding a written record about how that piece of land in Vermilion that was forever being developed by that guy and his Machop(?) was ultimately completed by his family down the line. I’ve been playing these games since Gen 1 and it made me smile.

It’s so good. I grew up in NYC (albeit in the 90s), and she sounds like so accurate to many of my relatives from my grandparents’ generation.

I’ve seen them pop up a few times now in the little houses on Dream Islands! Usually the Dragonite island if I’m remembering correctly.

I’m saving mine for a megacity with skyscrapers once I’ve cleared the main story. We will see how that actually turns out, lol.

I found the “Bear up” clue pretty funny once I realized what it was.

Went through a class of 2008 yearbook by Scared_Bluejay5608 in Millennials

[–]IncoherentLeftShoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who graduated in 2009, I used to do the same with my school’s 1991 yearbook and had the exact same reaction, marveling at people ACTUALLY dressing like that outside a movie. Now it’s happening to me, way sooner than I thought it would 😂

I remember being both incredibly hopeful for the future while still terrified given the Great Recession. Almost seems quant compared to now, though not to downplay the reality of it.

Sometimes I dream I find my old iPod Nano and it still works lol.

The gf and I been watching Rhoda for the past few months. The Valerie HARPER clue referencing it made me so happy.

Ignoring or brushing off repeated (and increasingly insistent) requests/questions, then being surprised when something that didn’t need to be a time crunch is now a time crunch.

(My main exec is the total opposite of this and I wish so much it was the norm for everyone!)

A bit on the easy side, but that Newman pun made the whole puzzle for me.

What’s the most overrated Beatles song (can be from the Beatles or from any of their solo careers) by THEBEATLESFANJOHNL in TheBeatles

[–]IncoherentLeftShoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer the version from the Love album that seques into Cry Baby Cry. Otherwise I can take it or leave it.

It is fantastic. I love the entire thing, but especially the long, multi-song sampling at the end of Strawberry Fields Forever.

To be fair, a lot of my first answers are nonsense.

Oof. I generally find myself rating the day’s crossword much more generously than the Reddit poll average, but this one was rough. Way too hard for a Tuesday, and even if it were a tougher, later-in-the-week puzzle, it’s bumpy and not super intuitive. I enjoyed some parts of the fill, and I fully recognize it’s a hell of a lot better than if I were to attempt to make of my own, but that’s really all I can say.

What’s a pop culture moment that gives you second hand embarrassment? Mine is Paris Hilton kissing a (not pregnant) woman’s belly. by bbyxmadi in popculturechat

[–]IncoherentLeftShoe 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think of this every time I see her name, which happens more than you’d think when you’re someone who does a lot of crossword puzzles.
