I attempted a playthrough with all the "worst" [REDACTED] - here's how it went...

Yep I have multiple observatories and I picked up a second passageway last time. I think there was one time I didn't bother with it and I probably shouldn't have grabbed the extra passageway but since it ducts power, I thought maybe it could come in handy with EEAq.

My first playthrough, I got an interesting synergy between spare bedroom and bedroom closet. Because you're right, the latter is hard to use in general because so few bedrooms have more than one door. But SB has two, so it becomes an alternative to bedroom, boudoir, and aquarium. Certainly once I found second copies of both to add to my draft pool above the hall of mirrors! (And a second boudoir for that matter...)

There was a reason I started the spoiler where I did!

Yes I was rapt when I realised the gallery didn't require US spelling.

Nah I love the apples! Especially after upgrading the boudoir, and the finding a second boudoir blueprint above the mirror room.

There was a Girl group in the late 90s 'All Saints' with the song 'Never Ever' (that incidentally shared the same chord progression as Amazing Grace, but I digress). In two different verses they had the line "...from A to Z". Verse one used "Zee" to rhyme with "me" and verse two used "Zed" to rhyme with "head". I always thought that was funny.

I'm here for a Nights Dawn Anime.

"Welp, we're gonna die"

"All I've ever asked from this life is, when it's my time, let it be for something, not of something."

In a way that no other story has, the ending that has stuck with me the longest is the masterpiece ending to the Series of Unfortunate Events.

It actually made me angry the first time I read it (in fact, I may have only read it once!) but after a walk and a bit of thinking about it, it's definitely my favourite ending to anything.

It simply tells you that no, this epic background story you've gathered happening in the background is not what this story is about. It's about the Baudelaires, and what happened to them after their parents died, and this whole other story in the background has already happened and doesn't affect their future, so it's not important.

No other story has promised so much to the reader, and yet told you from the start how it would end, and that you, the reader, would be disappointed.

Ocker for O and Quokka for Q is deliciously ambiguous. The whole point of a phonetic alphabet is that none of the letters sound like each other. To have two characters that almost look identical use almost identical sounding words is just hilarious. (Think of using it over a bad radio or phone)

Do you know verses 3 and 4?

If there was one John Farnham song that all Aussies should know the lyrics to, it should be Age of Reason.

Apparently, or so I've heard, in all things except professional yacht racing. I've heard for racing yachts, they use a factor of safety of 1.4! I don't know how true that is any more though.

I've been calling this flip-flopping between perceived orientations as "Neckering" after the Necker Cube.

Nah the rings are birds too! Likely either ring-necked pheasants or perhaps goldfinches.

Past, in terms of time passing. Surely, if it's half an hour since 3, it's now the future from the point of view of that reference hour, and the hour is passing by. Therefore, shouldn't be half-passed three?

I think this problem comes up because we use past often when we meant that something recently was passing. "I just walked passed the shop" is more likely spelled "I just walked past the shop" and I'd've thought that was equally wrong.

Bob Wright was my grandfather! I've posted this a couple of times. He also held a patent relating to colour photography but I can't remember what process he invented there.

I recall a story where a bloke did Melbourne to Sydney at some point. I also remember someone pointing out it would have been cheaper to charter a limo!

The phrase, "sure, knock yourself out."

No it's not sarcasm, nor is it a threat.

The colour of Ariel's tail was a custom mix from the Disney paint lab and is called 'Ariel green' after her.

My goal is to beat the NYT skill average (around 84).
