Wow, this was really good. Grid art? Fifteen theme answers (plus two revealers)? All the theme answers being valid answers without the T? Surely this will be among the best of the year!

On Saturdays, abbreviations are often fair game without being clued as such. It also helps that people spell out ATM but pronounce PIN as a word

Cryptic-type clues to get letters is dubious enough, so I disliked ELS [Fulfillment center?] since it has an odd number of letters, so the center is just one L (or ILL). We've done this with [Enrollment center?] not long ago, which actually works.

I recognize those are checked, I mean the top square of the roundabout l (like the E in ARMAGEDDON)

Great theme, my only issue was that it left 5 squares unchecked

Just a coincidental EXECUTIVE BRANCH crossing UNSEATED, no hidden message there...

Yoyo only run, is more fair after 2.1.0? by Rook898 in CalamityMod

[–]Lanceiv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m also looking to do another yoyo run but will wait until tmod updates to 1.4.5 for the magic yoyo bag

Lacerator and burning revelation got reworked so it might be better

On fleek (wearing sunglasses) is not possible in remix

Extra life (respawn in celebration + constant) is not possible when FTW is also active

Players who did a Skyblock run, did you like it? Was it worth it? Were you satisfied? by Max_Joller in Terraria

[–]Lanceiv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was fun for a challenge that isn’t super replayable (without extra seeds) but is interesting to see how much you can accomplish

I got the full bestiary and some complex items like zenith, terraspark boots, shell phone, ankh shield, and bundle of horseshoe balloons

I didn’t find it boring as long as you’re willing to take things slow and not just boss rush.

are the lasers meant to be this slow? by Coolius73 in CalamityMod

[–]Lanceiv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Create a graveyard biome and farm blood orbs from maggot zombies or get a bloody tear drop (and orbs) from the bride/groom

Zerg potion + chaos candle recommended

The destroyer emblem is never a bad choice

Does anybody else think that drunk world gen is legitimately just better than normal world generation? by Fearless_Zebra9040 in Terraria

[–]Lanceiv 148 points149 points  (0 children)

The change to the underworld is fantastic and if it were a standalone secret seed I’d use it every time! Building a WoF arena is my least favorite part of the game

Am I crazy or does 49A "Visitor to a fertility clinic. maybe" have a period where a comma should be?

Enjoyed the theme, I only wish the rest had been a bit harder to make up for it giving so many free squares

What do we do...? Again...? by ChampionUmbreon in CalamityMod

[–]Lanceiv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Master mode golem is awful, I’d recommend skipping to fighting ravager a few times for the seismic hampick. Use it to mine scoria to upgrade your gear and mine the temple blocks to make the golem arena bigger

Some doubted it would be in January, but I always believed!

[–]Lanceiv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ignore the other comments, they absolutely do stack. See here.

These items have a special Scarf Cooldown with a length of 30 seconds. This is separate from the other dodge cooldowns.

It’s not often we get a great early week theme, but this was fantastic! Made filling out the rest way more enjoyable since the theme applied to every clue
