    Nice one!

      Tough! I was really hung up in the SW with 27D and 32D. You also have a typo in the clue for 22D.

        Oh thanks for the heads up! Fixed. Do you think this ended up too tough for its own good?
      • Lobsterboys 12:20 · 2022-03-15T23:42:19.034Z
        Yeah, agree that SW corner was tough. Took me a few minutes after solving to figure out 32A was a video game console
        • Ben Zoon constructor · 2022-03-16T19:30:19.549Z
          OK, I'll add a little extra info there. Thanks!
          • Lobsterboys 12:20 · 2022-03-16T22:15:50.985Z
            I like the updated clue!

          Sorry, I meant 36A

            This one reminded me of a tough themeless. Unique clueing voice and lots of new-to-me (at least in crosswords) clues and fill. Tough but (mostly) fair and lots of fun to solve.

              Thank you, very kind :)
