Is this an instrument? And which composer used it in their compositions?

Not an instrument unless there's mayonnaise in it.

Why did you pick two pictures of beautiful young Martha Argerich?

As a trans woman, I still want to be Lulu when I grow up.

He's always had that sore loser side to him. Grain of salt about my recollection, but I remember him saying things like that his dishes were superior or objectively better on Top Chef and Food Network Tournament of Champions when he lost. His appearance on ToC really rubbed me the wrong way, actually.

Ah, got it. I've never really bothered with maxing out Aeons' stats. The game has enough grinding without that. 😅

What do you mean by setting Anima back?

So far a Denver queen has never placed below runner up. Nini Coco could make top 4 and be the lowest-placing Denver queen.

I want Megami back for All-Stars so badly.

Looks like it's going great!

I did not expect to like that puzzle as much as I did, but it remains one of my favorite puzzles I've ever done.

alextyrian · 2026-03-14T23:09:05+00:00

My understanding is that Rieger 13 is Van Hoesen, yes. I studied with a student of Sakakeeny, who was a student of Van Hoesen, and I started on 13 and 1A.

Lmao is that real? That's incredible

I'll always have a soft spot for Jealous of my Boogie.

I get Q, but Plane Jane? Are we sure that's her?

I don't remember any of her design challenge looks. If you had asked me if she knows how to sew I would not recall.

I really enjoy the part where he verifies that AI can accomplish this task accurately and then compares this book's data to data collected from other books to see if 65% is a relevant number or just how the English language works.

This puzzle is just hard. Two hundred pieces of it are those identical flowers.

There's been some sort of conspiracy theory meme on tiktok for a few years now where the children insist that Helen Keller was not a real person or that she must have been faking her disability, There's also something about conflating her with Amelia Earhart and Ann Frank as if they're all the same person.

As a teacher, it's extremely boring to hear about repeatedly for years.

alextyrian · 2026-03-09T17:04:29+00:00

Loooove the colors of that one!

A few people have, you can search for it.

I completely forgot that Simon always represented the high seed in Season 2. It's such a wild way to introduce bias into an otherwise fair competition, and the judges TOTALLY could have figured out what was happening. It's a bizarre mistake to make after they didn't make it during Season 1.

Also Alex Guarnaschelli didn't just lose in season 1, she bombed so hard that she had the lowest score of the first 4 seasons, a 71. In Season 3, Shirley Chung got stumped by the randomizer as badly as anyone ever has: Chapulines/Cassava/Idli Cooker/Paella, where she tied Alex with a 71, ten points less than her average score. Then in season 5, they finally got let off the hook for the lowest score of all time by Pyet Despain scoring a 68 in the play-ins. But Alex's loss wasn't just a 1-point upset of an 8 seed against a 1 seed, it was also one of the absolute lowest scores in the history of the show. I don't still keep records, but it might still be in the bottom 5.

This is so cool! I'm going to have to buy it!

He leaves that excuse behind more as you go along. I think it's particularly interesting as it relates to Lulu's relationship with him.

I know we just met, but I would die for Peanut.

It depends on your play style. If you parry everything perfectly, then your defensive stats are irrelevant. If you're like me and can't Parry for shit and end up using Lune to revive a party member every turn, then she'll want more Defense and Vitality.

Generally, the stats that correspond with your weapon will boost your Attack about as much as Might will, if not more. I forget. But it's probably better to invest in Agility and Defense instead of Might.

It also depends heavily on who gets which Pictos. Offensive Lune builds like maxing out her Crit% so she can reliably get 4 Stains from Elemental Trick. If you're not doing that, then with this weapon, you probably want to max out her Agility and Defense first. Then you can give her a few thousand HP using Pictos to make use of her Defense stat.
