    I finally got around to making a grid with 90 degree rotational symmetry. I'm expecting this to be somewhat harder than my average themeless.

      I didn't find it too bad, quite fun in fact! I think being familiar with your cluing style helps

          Tricky, but quite satisfying! Enjoyed 14D :) (Also a lot trickier when you don't use check functions!)

            pretty challenging - i got stuck in the NE quadrant - favorite clue is 31D... and what a sneaky clue on ARROWKEYS... nice puzzle!

              Very nice puzzle! Got tripped up on some of the trivia, but otherwise excellent!

                Beautiful grid! Lots of sparkling 9s and a great clue on ARROW KEYS.
