2024.05.21 14:50 Zoliv13 [H] Bundle games from Humble/Fanatical/IG [W] Wishlist/Offers (Update 21/05/2024)

Hello,
I'd like some fair exchange for those, i'm willing to put more than one game against a game i really want, depends on the offer. I could accept Paypal, but that's not my goal (just getting games i'd like to play). I might want to keep something in those lists, i also have some other Humble and Fanatical games i'm not sure i'll play, so they might appear one day (could be money for an exchange if you have something from my wishlist, don't hesitate to ask). I'm from Europe, that might matter for Keys or gift links. Also, i have many games now, and a lot to do yet, so i might be very picky, even for games on my wishlist (it's more a list for interesting games, that i might want in an undetermined future if i have time).
(HB Unrevealed Key = i have it still unrevealed, but will provide a key, considering the Humble view on trading games)
For people living in France, i also have some old games in boxes that i can send by post, ask me if interested.

🔗Unger StarDuster Cobweb Duster: Effective and Convenient for Washing Crevices

​
https://preview.redd.it/d8jscdru1q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a255f92488263d7d407e488537fbc286ad2af66
I recently tried the Unger StarDuster Cobweb Duster, a handy tool for removing those pesky cobwebs from corners and crevices. The duster's unique cone shape was a game-changer, as it easily reached tight areas that other dusters couldn't access. I also appreciated the soft, split-tip bristles, which didn't leave any marks or damage on the surfaces I cleaned.
Admittedly, I found the duster to be a bit heavy to maneuver, especially since it's meant to be used with Unger telescopic poles (sold separately). But overall, I thought it was a solid choice if you're looking for a tool specifically designed for tackling those hard-to-reach spots. Just make sure to handle it carefully and follow the product guidelines to avoid any mishaps.

🔗Indoor & Outdoor 10ft Lightweight Cobweb Duster Extension Pole

​
https://preview.redd.it/dq7v7t0v1q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=12f28792cfeb554b30401b834bf1ffed31b63cc3
My experience with the Cobweb Duster Pole has been rather satisfactory, considering it's primarily designed to help with dusting and pest control in hard-to-reach areas. It's an easy-to-use and lightweight 10-foot extension pole, perfect for those who need a little extra length for their cleaning tools.
What stood out positively in my experience was the durability and ease of use. The pole is sturdy enough to withstand constant use, which I found to be incredibly handy. Also, the fact that it's an extender pole for a Webster Nylon Cobweb Duster or scrapper attachment makes it easy to transition between different tasks.
However, there were a couple of cons to consider. For starters, some users have reported issues with compatibility as it doesn't fit certain end adaptors for sprayers. In my case, it didn't work with the one I had, but I found a workaround fairly easily. Additionally, although the pole is of high quality, it's quite simple in terms of design, which might be a drawback for those looking for fancier or more feature-packed equipment.
Overall, the Cobweb Duster Pole does what it's designed to do - make cleaning dusty and hard-to-reach spots a breeze. But it's essential to note that its design limitations might not cater to everyone's requirements.

🔗Versatile Cobweb Duster for Daily Cleaning

I've been using the Hicavar screw-on cobweb duster replacement head for my cleaning needs, and it's been a game-changer. The 10-inch length is perfect for cleaning those hard-to-reach areas. This versatile tool can be used handheld or attached to a telescopic pole for cleaning high ceilings without the need for a ladder. Plus, its soft poly fibers won't scratch walls or windows.
What stood out to me was the ease of installation and the versatility of this duster head. It's really easy to clean and reuse multiple times, and the simple twist-on mechanism makes it a breeze to attach it to an extension pole. It's great for cleaning furniture, window sills, blinds, and much more.
One of the best things about this duster is its durability and effectiveness. After using it for a while, it still works like new, and the materials are high-quality, making it the perfect addition to any cleaning arsenal. It's safe to use on all surfaces and really does make the cleaning process easier.
While I've had a fantastic experience with this cobweb duster, I did notice that it can be a bit stiff to use, especially at first. However, this problem is easily solved with a little bit of wrist action during use. Overall, the Hicavar screw-on cobweb duster replacement head is a top-notch tool for cleaning hard-to-reach areas and is definitely worth the investment.

I recently tried the Gütewerk extendable feather duster, and let me tell you, it has made my life a whole lot easier! This bad boy can reach up to 140 cm, which is perfect for cleaning those hard-to-reach spots. It's like the Swiss Army knife of dusters! The telescopic retractable pole handle is a game-changer - I can easily adjust its length for different areas of my home. And the 360-degree flexible head, made of dense microfibers, is just the cherry on top. It catches dust and dirt like a charm without causing a mess. Plus, the non-slip handle and the removable cleaning brush make this duster a true gem.
But, as with any product, there's a little room for improvement. While the feather duster is lightweight and easy to use, it does take a bit of effort to clean. Hand-washing is the way to go, but who has time for that, right? Overall, I'd say this feather duster is a winner in my book. It's like having a personal assistant in dust-busting.

Using these dusters, I've noticed an improvement in the overall cleanliness of my home. They're easy to grip and use, and the 3 feather dusters offer exceptional durability. When not in use, they can be disassembled and stored neatly, taking up minimal space.
Of course, there are a few drawbacks. The instructions state that these dusters can only be hand-washed, which might be inconvenient for some users. Additionally, due to their size and length, they may not be as portable as some other cleaning tools.
Overall, I'd highly recommend these microfiber dusters for anyone looking to effectively clean hard-to-reach areas in their home.

Imagine being stuck with a stubborn cobweb that just won't go away. I needed a solution that would get rid of it without causing any damage.

As I worked my way through the ceiling, the smooth handle of the duster provided a comfortable grip, preventing any hand fatigue that usually comes with such chores. The best part? The electrostatic energy of this duster made the cobweb and dust cling to it, ensuring a thorough cleaning. With the Unger Cobweb Duster Brush, I dusted more than just the ceiling - from moldings to shelves and desks, this duster was the perfect tool for the job.
Of course, no product is without its drawbacks. For me, it was the length - at 3.1 inches, it wasn't the most convenient for reaching high places like the crown molding. But overall, the Unger Cobweb Duster Brush proved to be a practical, effective tool for making my ceiling and home dust-free.

🔗Lightweight Cobweb Duster with Extendable Pole

​
https://preview.redd.it/bi2yts9x1q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eff5df20f4e80c5206eab8de86b9065ac10507d7
I tried the Round Cobweb Duster with Extension Pole out of curiosity as I was not a fan of using dusters. The product exceeded my expectations. Not only did it make the task of cleaning cobwebs off the ceiling easier, but also without the typical back pain and discomfort that comes with holding a heavy duster. The lightweight aluminum pole definitely helped with reaching the highest corners of the ceiling.
The duster head, made of microfiber, is quite versatile. It was gentle on surfaces like picture frames and paintings, yet effective at removing dust from even the most obscure cobweb-filled corners. It was handy for cleaning hard to reach places like kitchen appliances and the inside of my car. Plus, the extendable pole made reaching tall fans and light fixtures a breeze.
However, I found the duster head a bit challenging to clean. After several attempts at cleaning it, I discovered it was recommended to hand wash it, despite no specific instructions provided. I also found changing between different duster heads a bit tricky, especially when using the telescope pole—it added an extra layer of complexity to an otherwise simple dust-removing tool.
Overall, I'd say the Cobweb Duster lived up to its claim of being the perfect tool for cleaning high ceilings. It could have been improved with better cleaning instructions and simpler mechanisms for changing duster heads. But given these minor issues, I'd still recommend it to anyone longing for their ceiling to be spider-web free.

Having used this cobweb duster head in my own home, I must say it's a game-changer for removing stubborn cobwebs and dust from high, hard-to-reach areas.

The best part, it attaches seamlessly to my JT Eaton telescopic pole, which can extend up to 10 feet, making it even more efficient.

The kit came equipped with four brush heads that made swift work of my daily cobweb and dust cleaning needs. I especially loved the microfiber and bendable chenille dust collectors, which were perfect for cleaning my furniture and appliances with ease.
However, one downside I encountered was that the dust collectors did have a tendency to collect and retain some of the dust particles, which required occasional cleaning. Nevertheless, this minor drawback was easily outweighed by the convenience and efficiency the product offered.
Overall, I'd say the Hicavar 20 Foot High Ceiling Fan Duster is a fantastic choice for those seeking an affordable, reliable, and user-friendly way to keep their homes dust-free - it truly lives up to its 5.0-star rating.

While washing, it's essential to follow the proper instructions by hand washing with warm or low heat water and letting it air dry in a ventilated place.
However, it has come to my attention that the product's non-scratch feature comes with a downside - it could be too gentle for removing stubborn dirt.

Buyer's Guide

Cobwebs are often considered a sign of a neglected or dirty space. However, having cobwebs can also be simply a result of the natural process of spider weaving. Whatever the reason, if you're looking for ways to keep your space clean and free from cobwebs, a cobweb duster is the perfect tool for you.

Important Features

​
https://preview.redd.it/25ktepr12q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dbd4c811a556c66ed81f795ca8019d9a0d1197e5

Material

When choosing a cobweb duster, consider the material it is made of. Most cobweb dusters are made of soft materials such as synthetic fibers or natural materials like goat hair. Soft materials are effective at removing cobwebs without damaging surfaces.

Length

Another important feature to consider is the length of the cobweb duster. Depending on the area you plan to use it, choose a duster with an appropriate length. Longer dusters allow for better reach and are suitable for high ceilings, while shorter dusters are more suitable for lower areas.

Handle

The handle of the cobweb duster should be comfortable to hold and easy to maneuver. A grip that is easy to hold and a shape that fits your hand comfortably make using the duster an enjoyable task.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Consider dusters with easy-to-clean and washable materials. Proper maintenance of your cobweb duster keeps it in good condition and ensures it remains effective for a long time.

Considerations

Allergies

If you or someone in your household has allergies to natural materials, choose synthetic fiber cobweb dusters instead of those made from goat hair or other animal fibers.
​

Spider Prevention

A cobweb duster is only one of the tools you can use to prevent cobwebs from forming. Regular cleaning, proper ventilation, and sealing cracks and crevices can help keep spiders away and prevent the formation of cobwebs.

General Advice

Don't Wait

Once you notice a cobweb, don't wait to clean it. Cobwebs multiply quickly, and the longer you wait, the more difficult it becomes to remove them without the help of a cobweb duster.

Be Gentle

When using a cobweb duster, be gentle. Cobwebs are delicate structures and can easily be damaged if you're too rough when cleaning. Gently sweep the duster across the cobweb and it will come off easily.

Maintenance

Regularly maintain your cobweb duster by washing it or replacing it if necessary. Proper care ensures the duster remains effective and functional for a long time.

🔗Codi Lavender Hand & Body Lotion - Moisturizing Skincare for Dry and Damaged Skin

​
https://preview.redd.it/i8x50hu11q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=11d95897574def7bc2ea0b30fc75dfa8ea4637fb
Recently, I gave the Codi lavender hand and body lotion a try, and I must say, I was surprised by its efficacy in treating dry and damaged skin. Firstly, the lavender fragrance is both calming and invigorating, creating a pleasant scent that fills the room and stays with me long after applying it.
My skin texture had been quite rough lately, and this lotion was a game-changer. It managed to moisturize my dry and damaged skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth. The lotion's gentleness and absorbency made it easy to blend into my skin, which was not at all greasy. The lavender scent lingered for hours, giving my skin a subtle yet long-lasting fragrance that seemed to get compliments wherever I went.
However, there were a few minor issues: I found that the dispenser on the bottle was a bit tricky to use, as it often dispensed more product than I needed. Additionally, one of my bottles had a broken top which resulted in a contaminated product. Overall, I believe the positive aspects of this lotion outweigh the minor drawbacks, and I would undoubtedly recommend it to anyone seeking a moisturizing and soothing skincare product.

I recently tried the Codi Green Tea Hand & Body Lotion and was pleasantly surprised by its skincare benefits. The lotion's refreshing green tea scent is a lovely addition to my daily routine, and it's not overpowering at all. What stood out the most was its non-greasy, absorbent nature. I found that it moisturized my dry skin without leaving a sticky residue, which helped me enjoy a seamless transition from a day at work to going out.
Although the lotion didn't immediately solve my problem with wrinkles or hyperpigmentation, I've noticed a slight improvement in my skin texture over time. The addition of vitamins and antioxidants from green tea seemed to be working in my skin's favor.
A potential con, however, is that it may be too light for someone looking for a thicker, creamier lotion. But for me, it was just right and worked well with my skin type. Overall, I'd highly recommend the Codi Green Tea Hand & Body Lotion for its non-greasy, pleasant scent, and moisturizing properties.

🔗Elegant Avocado Hand & Body Lotion for Dry Skin

When I started using Codi's Hand & Body Lotion - Avocado, my first impression was the elegant natural scent that filled the air. It was a refreshing change from the heavy fragrances I usually encounter in lotions.
One of my favorite things about this lotion was that it instantly hydrated my skin without leaving a greasy feel. I found myself applying it more frequently than I would with other lotions because it felt so lightweight and non-oozy.
The avocado scent also added an element of luxury to my daily routine. Even though it's not particularly strong, it's just enough to make me feel pampered whenever I use it.
However, one drawback I noticed was that it didn't seem to work as well on extremely dry spots like my elbows and knees. While it did provide some relief, I felt like a heavier-duty lotion might have been more effective in those areas.
Overall, I enjoyed using Codi's Hand & Body Lotion - Avocado for its subtle scent and non-greasy feel. It was a nice addition to my skincare routine and definitely worth trying. Even though it didn't work miracles on my toughest spots, the overall experience was pretty positive.

Codi's Olive Hand & Body Lotion has been a delightful addition to my skincare routine. The lotion's olive fragrance is pleasantly subtle, not too overpowering but just enough to remind you of its natural ingredients. I've found it to be an exceptional moisturizer for my dry and damaged skin, absorbing nicely without leaving a greasy residue.
One of the interesting features of this lotion is its longevity. Even after application, it doesn't feel like it's quickly absorbed and then reappearing, causing messy stains on my clothes or furniture. Instead, it provides deep hydration and seems to lock in the moisture for hours.
However, there's a minor downside; the consistency is more on the oily side, closer to a cream than a traditional lotion. But overall, the benefits of this product outweigh the small drawback.

For quite some time now, I've been using Codi's green tea hand and body lotion, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer for me! This lotion might be marketed under a different title, but to me, it's simply the "life-saving hand lotion. "

It's like it's been engineered to absorb into your skin as soon as it touches it, leaving you with smooth, hydrated skin without any sticky residue. And the best part? It does this without compromising on its moisturizing abilities.
Another thing I love about this lotion is its scent. It has this fresh, natural aroma of green tea that's not too overpowering but just enough to remind you of a calming spa day. You know when you walk into a spa and you're instantly hit by that refreshing scent? Yeah, it's like that. And the scent lingers on your skin throughout the day, making you feel fresh and energized.
Now, I understand that we all have our preferences, but I've tested this lotion on both my hands and face, and it's been more than satisfactory. There's definitely less of a greasy feel after application compared to other lotions I've used.
One downside, however, is the size of the bottle. It might be a bit smaller than what other brands offer, but honestly, I haven't noticed a significant difference when it comes to usage. And the price? Absolutely reasonable!
In conclusion, if you're in the market for a really good hand and body lotion that does its job, smells great, and won't leave you feeling sticky, then Codi's green tea lotion should definitely be at the top of your list.

Recently, I stumbled upon Codi's hand and body lotion, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. I've been using it daily, and the mango scent that lingers on the skin is just the right touch of refreshing, especially during these humid days.
I've noticed that it does a fantastic job of keeping my skin moisturized throughout the day. In fact, I found that it's so effective, I barely need to reapply it. The lotion's absorbency is commendable, and it leaves me feeling silky smooth without any greasy residue.
The lotion's after-sun treatment is another feature that caught my attention. I've been using it post-sunbathing, and it has significantly improved the way my skin feels and looks after long hours under the sun.
However, I must admit, I've encountered some issues with the dispenser quality. The cap seems to break off easily, which can make the product contaminated if not handled carefully. Nonetheless, that's a minor issue that doesn't affect the overall quality of the lotion.
In conclusion, Codi's mango hand and body lotion is a fantastic product that provides enhanced skin treatment and moisturization. The delightful scent and long-lasting effects are just a bonus. For anyone looking for a high-quality skincare lotion, this is definitely worth trying.

However, I noticed that not all of its attributes stood out as positively as they seemed in the highlights. While the Codi Cucumber lotion was effective at soaking into my skin and leaving it soft, the dispensing quality could have been better. The lotion tended to come out too quickly, sometimes making it difficult to control the flow. Additionally, the dispenser's design was slightly tricky to use, requiring a bit of extra effort to twist and squeeze.
In conclusion, my experience with Codi Cucumber Hand & Body Lotion was mostly positive, with the refreshing green tea scent and effective moisturizing capabilities being the most notable features. It was a great value and I would recommend it to others, but I'd suggest Codi could improve the dispensing quality of their lotion bottles.

🔗Natural Aromatic Closet Fresheners - 12 Pack Floral Hanging Sachets by Rose Cottage

https://preview.redd.it/p38y95pflp1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e74c9230bf081cd9a730fa793e941e46bdc3eb7a
I recently tried the Rose Cottage 12Packs Floral Hanging Potpourri Bags in my home and was pleasantly surprised by the unique blend of scents. What stood out to me was how these natural air fresheners truly lived up to their promise of lasting for months. The large size sachets were perfect for tackling the smell in my closet, and even better, they worked well as a shoe odor eliminator too!
One of the things I appreciated about these fragrances was that they were made with essential oils created by French professional perfumers. The combination of these scents, along with the Japanese paper packaging, truly made for an incredible and long-lasting fragrance experience.
I also found that the large size sachets were more suitable for bigger spaces, as their fragrance did tend to dissipate a bit faster in smaller areas. Nevertheless, if you place multiple sachets strategically around your space, you'll still enjoy the pleasant scent.
Overall, the Rose Cottage air fresheners were a welcomed addition to my home, providing a natural and long-lasting solution to freshen up the air. Not to mention, the beautiful designs made them great as gifts for friends and family!

One of the features that stood out to me is their versatility. You can place these air fresheners in various spaces to fill your life with sweet aromas, keeping you in a good mood all day long. Whether it's in drawers, closets, suitcases, or handbags, these sachets have got you covered.
However, there's a catch: these sachets need to be stored in a closed space, away from direct sunlight, to preserve the aroma. It took me a while to figure out the best way to store them, but once I did, the scent lasted much longer. Additionally, it's essential to open the package when you first use the sachets, as leaving them unopened can cause the aroma to fade over time.
Although some users have reported issues with the scent strength, I've found that these closet air fresheners are a great gift idea. Their sweet aroma can brighten someone's day and make a lovely present for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, or even mother's day. To get the most out of these sachets, gently shake them to encourage diffusion and enjoy the long-lasting, delightful fragrance they provide.

One noticeable downside, though, is that the fragrance may be too strong for certain rooms, like kitchens or bathrooms. The scent might even make your dishes or medicine smell and taste odd.
Overall, I've found these deodorizers to be quite efficient in eliminating odors in small areas. It's just essential to be cautious about using them in highly fragrance-sensitive spaces or if you prefer a lighter scent.

I was particularly impressed by the long-lasting fragrance these sachets emanated. The combination of premium cedar and lavender truly created a delightful aroma that filled my closet. It was like walking into a little oasis of freshness every time I opened the door.
However, I did notice that the sachets had a tendency to detach from their hangers when I opened the closet. A small piece of double-sided tape would have been a helpful addition to the package to secure them better.

I recently fell in love with the Good Home Co Closet and Drawer Sachets in lavender scent. These biodegradable sachets are not only gentle on the environment but also on our skin. They're free from parabens, phosphates, sulfates, and phthalates, and being 100% vegan and cruelty-free adds to their appeal.
However, their durability leaves a bit to be desired. They don't last very long, be it in my closet or drawer. It's almost like using the lavender sachets as dryer sheets - now that's an idea!
Despite this slight drawback, I still enjoy using these lovely fragranced beads tucked away in soft, beautiful fabric sachets. They add a sense of tranquility and freshness to any space they're placed in.

The Hornady RAPiD Safe Night Guard is an impressive blend of style and security. I've been using it for a while now, and I must say I am quite impressed with the product. The tempered glass front panel is sleek and elegant, complementing any bedroom decor.
The patented RFID technology is definitely a game-changer. I love being able to unlock the safe without even touching it, which is ideal when you're in a dark room and don't want to fumble around for your keys or access code. The 4 included RFID tags make it quick and easy to program the safe to open for you and your family.
One of the features that really stands out to me is the two USB-A ports for charging my devices. It's incredibly handy to have a place to charge my phone or other gadgets right next to my bed.
On the downside, I do wish the RFID reader and keypad were a bit more discreet. They're still functional, but they're quite prominent on the front panel. It would be nice if they were hidden away a bit more.
The heavy duty exterior housing and hardened interior locking lugs are a great feature, ensuring that the safe is built to last. However, I do wish there was a bit more padding on the interior for the items inside to prevent any potential scratches or damages.
Overall, I am quite satisfied with the Hornady RAPiD Safe Night Guard. It's a fantastic bedside safe that offers quick and easy access, as well as a place to charge your devices. Definitely worth the investment!

I recently started using this Union Safe Company 1.51 Cu. ft. Electronic Lock Gun Floor Safe in my home after a friend recommended it to me.

However, there are a few drawbacks that I've encountered while using this safe. The first issue is that the instructions provided with the safe are not very clear or well-written, making it challenging to set up and program the lock correctly. Another minor inconvenience is that the size of the safe might not be ideal for users with limited space in their home.

Firstly, the 16 gauge steel body construction and 8 gauge steel door of the safe had a lasting impression on me. The durable black powder coat finish added a sleek touch to its overall appearance. The electronic lock with a key backup provided an extra layer of security that I appreciated, especially when using it to store important documents and valuable items.
One of the standout features of this safe was the interior light, which automatically illuminates when opening the safe. It was a thoughtful design choice that allowed me to conveniently access my items without fumbling around in the dark.
The fireproof rating of 30 minutes in up to 1400 degrees F was an impressive feature, but I also noticed that it was not water-resistant, which could be a potential downside for those living in areas with high humidity.
The removable interior shelf offered flexible and secure storage options for a variety of items, from firearms and documents to jewelry and hobby equipment. I particularly enjoyed the protective carpet interior, as it safeguarded my valuables from potential damage.

As a gun owner myself, I found the Kraiovim Peace Keeper to be a clever and practical solution for concealing your valuables. The solid wood construction with a rich mahogany stain not only provides an aesthetically pleasing touch, but also ensures that the clock is sturdy and long-lasting.
What caught my attention the most, though, is the reliable quartz movement paired with a magnetically latched, hinged front panel. This feature allows you to safely conceal your gun while still being able to set the time, and it adds an extra layer of security to the overall design.
While it's perfect for its intended purpose, I must admit that I have encountered some minor flaws. It's quite bulky and takes up a lot of space, which might not be ideal for smaller rooms. Additionally, the fact that it's a mass-produced Amazon item might deter buyers who are looking for more unique or locally crafted products.

As a gun owner who values security and style, I recently came across the Concealment Clock and decided to give it a try. At first glance, I was skeptical about the functionality of a clock concealing a gun. However, after receiving the product and spending a few days using it, I was pleasantly surprised by its unique and innovative design.
The first thing that caught my attention was the solid and sturdy construction of the clock. It's built with high-quality materials that give it a luxurious, polished look. The high-precision quartz movement is a plus, ensuring that the clock keeps perfect time. The fact that it also includes an analog clock face with Roman numerals adds a classic and elegant touch.
One of the most interesting features is the magnetic latch closure on the front panel, providing a secure way to conceal the compartment for your gun. It's simple yet effective, and the keyhole on the back of the clock ensures that the panel stays closed when not in use.
My experience with the Concealment Clock has only been positive. However, I did encounter a minor issue with the battery compartment. The screws inside needed to be screwed in a little harder for the battery to fit securely. This was only a minor inconvenience, and I was able to solve the problem quickly.
In conclusion, the Concealment Clock offers a stylish and functional way to hide your gun at home or in the office. It's well-built, works perfectly, and even has the added benefit of being a practical and stylish clock.

As a gun enthusiast, I recently gave the Hornady Rapid Safe Shotgun by RFID a try in my home. The first thing that stood out to me was its slim design, allowing me to easily store it in tight spaces. However, I wasn't impressed with its small size, as it could only fit my shotgun sideways, making it quite cramped.
One of the unique features of this safe is its RFID technology, which provides touch-free entry using an RFID-enabled wristband, key fob, or sticker. I thought it was pretty cool to be able to unlock the safe with a simple wave of my hand, although it would be even better if it had a backup option in case the batteries ran out.
The construction of the safe appeared solid, with the exterior housing made of 14-gauge steel and two internal hardened locking lugs. However, I found the touch-free entry to be quite loud, which might not be ideal for people who value discretion.
Installation was a breeze, thanks to the pre-drilled mounting holes. I was able to easily install the safe in both horizontal and vertical positions, making it versatile for various storage locations. The fact that it exceeds ASTM International safety standards for child and pry resistance was also a comforting feature.
Overall, the Hornady Rapid Safe Shotgun with RFID has its pros and cons. While the slim design and RFID technology caught my attention, some other aspects, such as the small size and loud entry, were less impressive. Nonetheless, it's a solid choice for anyone looking for a quick-access shotgun safe.

As a homeowner with a growing family, I've always been conscious about the safety and security of our household items, especially the ones that are valuable or potentially hazardous to our little ones. That's why I decided to invest in the Stalwart Biometric Desk Mount Gun Safe, and boy, am I glad I did!
One of the first things that struck me about this gun safe is its smart biometric design. With three ways to unlock - fingerprint sensor, a keypad, or a backup key - it offers more than enough flexibility for me to access my weapons quickly and securely. The fingerprint sensor is particularly impressive, granting me quick access to my handgun when I need it most. Additionally, the inclusion of two backup keys ensures I won't be locked out if the electronics fail.

What's more, it also comes with anti-impact latches and an impact detection system, which sets off an alarm if the safe is bumped or tampered with. This added layer of security has given me the peace of mind I've been looking for.
However, it's not all perfect with this product. The only issue I've encountered so far is its size. The safe can hold up to two handguns, but for someone like me who also needs to store ammo and other accessories, it can get a little cramped inside. But this is a minor concern, especially when comparing to the numerous benefits this product offers.
In conclusion, the Stalwart Biometric Desk Mount Gun Safe has been an invaluable addition to my home.

The first thing that stands out about this product is its elegant, minimalist design. The sleek black clock blends seamlessly into any room, and the hidden compartments are cleverly concealed behind the clock face. The hidden compartments can hold an assortment of items, from firearms to personal belongings, providing secure storage in plain sight.
One of the key features that I love about this clock is its magnetic lock. It ensures that the compartments stay securely closed, providing peace of mind knowing that my valuables are safe. However, the lock can be a bit tricky to operate at first, but with practice, it becomes second nature.
While I've had a great experience with this Tactical Walls Clock, there are a couple of cons to mention. The first is the size of the clock face, which is a bit smaller than expected. It might not be the best choice for those who are visually impaired or have difficulty seeing small objects.
Another downside is the durability of the product. The clock face and compartments are made of thin plastic, which can be a bit concerning for those who expect a more robust design. I've also noticed that the Velcro holding the clock face in place seems a bit weak, which might result in the clock face coming loose over time.
In conclusion, the Tactical Walls 1410M Clock Standard - Black is a stylish and functional storage solution for those who value both aesthetics and practicality. Despite the small drawbacks, I've had a positive experience with the product and would recommend it to others seeking concealed storage options for their valuable items.

One downside I noticed is that the battery life may not be as long as I'd like, but overall, the Vaultek Barikade Series 1 Biometric Safe has been a reliable and practical choice for my daily life.

I recently had the opportunity to try out the Hornady Rapid Safe Compact Ready Vault with WiFi, and it exceeded my expectations in both convenience and security. The built-in RFID technology allowed for lightning-fast access, and the compatibility with the RFID bracelet and key made it even more convenient. However, the heavy-duty steel construction and hardened steel locking mechanism provided unparalleled protection against unauthorized users.
One of the highlights of this product was the user-programmable keypad, which allowed for personalized security codes to be input. Additionally, the SQUARE-LOK organizing system made it easy to store and access my firearms and other essentials.

2024.05.21 06:34 P0rcelain_Puppetress Dos, Year 5 - Should "WANTED" bounties return?

Scroll down to "Discussion Prompt" if you are not interested in my adventures!

Hunter's Log

Top-bottom, left-right Warm Season Cold Season Breeding Season
Day 1 Hunting Yian Kut-Ku from last year. Combining and delivering item requests. Hunted an A-Class Cephadrome. Cooking meat on my spit for the chief.
(Night) - Hunted A-Class Cephadrome again. And again. Hunted Gypceros (village request).
Day 2 Hunted Velocidrome to get materials. Hunted Daimyo. And again. A-Class bounty ended, hunted Blue Kut-Ku. Hunted some Dromes for their -Prey Hide.
(Night) - Gathered mushrooms & mining. Hunted Kut-Ku. Hunted Iodrome for Ioprey Fangs real quick.
Day 3 - Did ^ that again. << ENDED SEASON VIA BED >>
(Night) Quick mushroom gathering, then hunted Velociprey and Velocidrome. Arm wrestled like crazy. I cannot beat this madman!
Multiplayer
Hunted Ioprey and Iodrome, and completed a C-Class unique mushroom bounty. Hunted Congalala with another player, then hunted Iodrome and collected some toadstools with them. We then hunted another Congalala. I then fought a Velocidrome with another person, and then shared a meal with a whole bunch of hunters! You can go into each other's houses to share dinner, it's pretty cute. I then fought Daimyo Hermitaur 3 times in a row with 4 players. This was incredibly fast. We then went and hunted a Congalala, and Gypceros (we all switched to paralysis Sword and Shield for that, which was pretty funny and busted). My Hunter Rank was now high enough to visit the snowy mountains if someone else posted the quest, so some people showed me that. They hunted a Blangonga while I explored and hunted some White Velociprey. After that we hunted another Congalala, and then finished with a Kut-Ku.

Thoughts

I lost a maka pot because Velocidrome would not leave me alone and I accidentally killed it before I could collect the maka pot again (maka pots are these items you leave on the ground and it gives you special items). The Daimyo hunt in Warm Season allowed me to complete a B-Class "WANTED" bounty for 5 hermitaurs.

Discussion Prompt: Should "WANTED" bounties return?

As I said in my Year 2 post, Monster Hunter 2 has two bounty systems, not just one. Regular bounties are just a zenny reward for hunting a monster, that fluctuates so that if you hunt the same monster too many times you get less zenny. "WANTED" bounties on the other hand, are quite different. There are 3 kinds of "WANTED" bounties. "A-Class", "B-Class" and "C-Class".
A-Class is meant to be the most difficult, and it displays as a poster of a random large monster with the word "WANTED" below it, and the prices for the bounty. While an A-Class bounty is up, all monsters of that species (including subspecies) will be tougher. Accepting a quest with that monster will also have an extra submission fee, but the extra bounty is often worth it and sometimes doubles the reward (or even better).
B-Class bounties are usually small monsters, as far as I can tell. Unlike with A-Class bounties, these monsters are not stronger when the "WANTED" bounty is up. Instead, the bounty is usually to slay a certain amount of a specific kind of small monster. Upon doing this in a quest, you will be rewarded with extra zenny in the rewards screen.
C-Class bounties are usually for account items, and work in essentially the same way as B-Class bounties. You must have the account items in your inventory at the end of the quest, and if you do, you will be rewarded with extra zenny. This is interesting and works well with the limited item pouch space you have in this game, as sometimes you will have to make an active decision to have room for the items required by the bounty.
I do not think people often complete B-Class or C-Class bounties on purpose. They are often (but not always) more trouble than they are worth. A-Class bounties can be quite lucrative, however. It is worth noting that a "WANTED" bounty will not go away after you completed it once. It stays until some arbitrary time. These bounties can also appear even for monsters that you have no quests currently available for. If that happens you need to find a friend who can post the quest, or you will miss out! Lastly, that A-Class Cephadrome I kept hunting in Cold Season was very easy, despite being A-Class. I decided to just keep hunting it, and the cash I got for doing so was a pretty hefty sum. So, it is definitely something you can take advantage of (which is probably intentional).
Although I love the regular bounty system, I do not care much for the "WANTED" bounty system. I think the idea of monster infamy is awesome and I'd like to see it return in a more fleshed-out way. Deviants kind of did this too, so a more lively version of that which changes dynamically in real-time would be amazing in my opinion. What do you think of "WANTED" bounties?
Thank you for reading, and please keep discussion polite and snark-free!

2024.05.21 04:29 featherwinglove Tightniks Run One: You Probably Should Go...

[Run Zero chapter: https://redd.it/1csb71x not every run will have a chapter; it won't be long before there are multiple runs per chapter.]
Portal load: Agility 1, Bait 3, Trumps 1, Pheromones 1, Packrat 1, Motivation 1, Power 2, Toughness 2, Looting 5, Discipline Challenge, 54 of 54 He allocated, 7.8% AP at start.
[This is probably the lowest helium load I've ever done, and sorta keeping my own advice on a recent Reddit post, Bait and Looting are up. Especially Looting, but it's not like I don't always do something like this.]
The human emerges from the glowing green mist and hits the ground. Groans. Pushes against that ground, trying to get back up. I feel really heavy. I'm not that fat, am I? He's got a dark blue button-down shirt on. A uniform? A shoulder patch. Rolls over- Ah, what's that? His shoulder pressed into something hard and metallic, He reaches over and his hand naturally seems to find a folding handle. He pulls it out from under himself and gets it up on his chest, sort of in a semi-comfortable position to hold it up and look at the screen while lying on his back. Some fiddling around the edges gets the power button pressed and the screen lights up with:
"Manual portal activation 1 successful: Void enabled. / 54 He loaded / Discipline challenge active / Total portal activation 955"
"Kakka," its one of his trimps.
'My' trimps? The human sets aside the portal pad and gets up.
Are you the guy? They all seem to be looking at him, as though they have a frickin' huge problem to solve and they need his help to solve it.
32s: First trap.
Do you bite? It doesn't matter much to us. The trimps look hopefully up at him through the trap's grating, We're so friggin' screwed.
I didn't think four of you could fit in there! He opens it and they all start following him around like imprinted hatchling birds. It seems his tactic of making a catch-alive trap confirmed to them that he was 'the guy' to help solve whatever problem...
26m42s: Z2c15, 58 pop, 7.7s RC with Z1/2; 29m44s: Fresh turkimp c25.
"Hey, buddy," he says to his first scientist, "can you speak yet?"
"Shijou?" it says, then it starts writing, "Hi Tightniks."
"Who do you mean 'Tightniks'?" he asks, "I mean, it's not like I remember my own name, but what makes you think it's Tightniks?"
"Tai," it points right at him with one paw.
"Just pointing at me isn't going to answer that," he chuckles.
The trimp's hands are quite prehensile, but it's hard to tell without it holding something, they don't seem able to make their fingers visually distinguishable. [Puchim@s all the puchidoru, although some have big round hands and some have small pointy hands; Takanya is the latter. Probably Final Fantasy Red XIII as well, but I'm not familiar enough with him to be satisfied.] This one starts climbing up his leg.
"Wait, wait," he stops it. It's a challenge to stoop in this gravity, but not as much of one as carrying a trimp. He gets down on his knees and back on his haunches and-
"Tai," it points again to a spot on his chest just left of his heart, then climbs on his lap and grabs his uniform at that spot, "Tai!"
He looks down and sees "Tightniks" embroidered into the fabric above his pocket. "Ah," he sighs, "Well, if that's my name, that's my name."
"Shijou," it gives him a friendly whack on the shoulder.
2h38m55s: Mskel in Z11c3.
"Hey guys?" Tightniks points at his bone box, waving his finger, "Does anyone remember where these came from?"
"Nope," the yellow one says.
"Yeah, there are 12 more in here than we got kills to account for," Tightniks says.
"I've been getting a sense of deja vu about just about everything," the red one points at the metal box on the strap over his shoulder, "That's a big exception. Any clues there?"
"It says it's for something called a DT Experimental Industries Time Portal," the human shrugs, "I have no idea what it's talking about, honest."
3h25m46s: Block PB, 0.3% AP sub-4h, 540 pop, 8.3s RC, no turkimp
That thing is beeping? He takes a look at his TPCS pad and he's got a message saying that he finished the Block in under 4 hours and there's a little attack bonus- Under 4 hours? It's been over 4 days!! Checking the time on the device reveals that the portal times in terms of a "map frame" out there in space, and the passage of time has been vastly dilated on this planet.
4h15m56s: Zone 15, 954 pop, 11.9s RC with Z14/60, no turkimp.
"Tightniks," the yellow one comes back from the second full bin to the filling third bin, watching the human fold up another of his very first inventions, the very first thing he built after jumping through the mysterious green phenomenon exiting the crashed ship, "Why in blazes are you building so many traps?"
The human had finished another and tossed it into the bin, then picked up the now ever-present portal control pad, gets it out of auto-sleep and called up the "Achievement Points" page. "I have this weird hunch," he says.
"Deja vu? That familiar feeling we always have?" the yellow one inquires politely, slightly tilting its head.
"May I?" Tightniks turns up his hand and waves it up and down in a lifting gesticulation, then points at the trap pile.
"Sure," the yellow one understands, "if you'll put me back down after."
The human sets the pad down, stoops at the knees and gets his arms under the yellow trimp scientist's front limbs and lifts it up onto that stack of traps with a grunt; it is an impressive demonstration of his improving strength against the planet's high gravity. Then he picks up the pad again and points at one of the blank purple squares near the bottom.
"You don't know what that is," the yellow one says, "Are we going after that first one that is readable?"
"Yes," the human nods, "it's for finishing something called a Dimension of Anger, whatever that is, before getting something called Bounty."
"Whatever that is," the trimp chuckles.
"No, I know what it is," the human says, "I remember it being access to a resource-rich area on the other side of a green Wall we'll find with our next map route. It doubles our resource production."
"That would be handy," the yellow one says.
"Hmm," he nods, "But all the traps are for this one," pointing at the third square in the top row of the array the pad labels "Feats", the second of three that are purple.
"Oh," a stylus materializes in the yellow one's paw, "Well, all it says is 2.5%. It doesn't say how to get it. Something to do with traps?"
"Something to do with traps," the human chuckles, "that's only convenient to do now."
4h29m46s...
Other trimps can understand the grey one better than the human, "Shijou shijou shijou?" is what a human ear would hear, but it's really asking the yellow one, "You mean he knew it was going to be here?"
"Yeah," the yellow one nods.
"Well, it's gotta be that pad none of us finds familiar," the grey one insists.
"I don't think so," the yellow one argues, "He showed the reason for all these traps to me on the pad, and the information is not yet available there."
"Well, it can't be just a coincidence," the grey one grumbles.
6h23m16s: Our first void map dropped.
"What is that?" The red one asks the yellow one. It grabs a stick and lifts the strange square object up by an edge from as far away as he can.
"I have no idea," The yellow one says.
"It seems to have some sort of cooling effect," the red one says, looking underneath it, having tilted it up with the stick, "Like it's not just cold, but actually cooling down, as though it were the opposite of on fire."
"Shijou," the grey one says, holding a note.
"It's a void map. Grab it with a blanket and put it on the cart please. - Tightniks"
"Shijou shijou," the grey one clarifies, "The new pad said 'void enabled'. Guessing it's that."
10h06m21s: Zone 21, 1975 pop, 19.6s RC with Z20/232, no turkimp.
"Ooooookay," Tightniks growls, "There is something off about this thing."
"Shijou?" the grey one looks at the yellow one with concern about their human starship pilot friend.
The human stoops, picks up the little green gem on the ridge between Zone 20 and 21, looks at it, huffs, and asks, "Any idea where this comes from?"
"Err..." the red one seems hesitant to say, "I think you made it."
"Really?" the human huffs, "How could that be?" Then he tosses it at Red, "See if anything reacts to it. It might be radioactive, so we should take turns to minimize exposure."
"Really?" Red's holding it now, "What makes you say that?"
"Because I'm pissed off for no reason I can figure out," the human says, "I think it's coming from-" he gasps, "Waitamint!" He starts searching for the portal pad.
"Frags," the red one says quickly, "I think it's arranging a route. You're good with maps," it tosses the gem to the grey scientist.
The human has his portal pad up and reads aloud, "You have the Discipline challenge active. Tweak the portal to- yada yada yada. Tiss tiss t- completing The Dimension Of Anger will cause Trimp damage to return to normal." He snaps his fingers, "That's gotta be it."
"Shijou," the grey one says hopefully, and has a map drawn within a few minutes.
12h30m06s: Portal, 45 He, 3.600 He/hr, 2098 pop, 18.3s RC, 1% AP for Portal-before-Bounty.
The last head of the map's boss monster goes limp as one of the fighting trimps' dagger points goes into it, and the huge thing settles on its tail, resting on the package that seems to be the prize of this map. And there's a popping sound, and then something mechanical.
Is that a scroll compressor? Tightniks looks at the package. The deflating monster's lifting envelope material drapes over everything underneath it. "Red, Shijou!" he snaps and points, "roll up that side of it. Keep this part from sucking down on the extractor nozzle!"
All fifty of the scientists jump in, literally, pushing the gas in the bag towards the compressor. Tightniks as well, rolling up the front.
Until he kicks, and nearly trips over, a smaller package that might be the explanation for the reason why the center of the monster's defense seemed to be a little away from the big package he could see. It's in the right place, he realizes. He gets it uncovered and reads stenciled-and-sprayed block letters on it:
"DT TIME PORTAL / THIS SIDE DOWN"
Perhaps the Dimension of Anger is so named because of the rage suddenly rising up in Tightniks' throat. It isn't so much as the free-floating aggression suddenly has an answer, there is definitely a fresh batch of rage and anger as he grips the nearest Dagger V, Mark 2 with both hands- ...I must have gotten used to destroying it at some point. He lets go of his weapon with his right hand first and dangles his left arm while holdi-
Refocusing on surviving the next few seconds, the pilot turns on the radar for the final approach and takes a last look around, then straight ahead at his forward camera and primary flight display...
He crouches, sets the dagger down gently, then starts clearing the debris from the box's grab iron. He tries to lift it- Damn, this is heavy!
Surprised at this turn of events, his two oldest scientists, Grey and Yellow, rush to either side of him and help out. They get it flipped over and read the other side of the device, Tightniks chuckles a bit at its predictability:
"DT TIME PORTAL / THIS SIDE UP" There's a square cutout in the middle of one side of it, with a sliding cover at the bottom of it.
"Thanks," he pats his scientists, "but back off, please." He gets the cover unlatched, and slides it open to see, first a big rainbow-colored wide data cable and card edge connector, then several fluid ports. "There's something missing," he says aloud as he gets the cover completely off and onto the grass, "this connects to some-" he's got the wide flat cable up in his hand, realizing what it plugs into. He looks at his scientists, lips trembling, "G-g-g-get the pad."
The grey one already has the survival data pad and offers it to him.
"No, the other pad," Tightniks clarifies, "The big one. The big one," he picks up wide flat rainbow cable and its edge socket in one hand, "It goes here," he points at it with the other. "It must have come with me end of the last cycle."
Both the yellow one and the red one bring it, one on each side.
"Thank you," the human takes it, gets its hinge lugs on the trunnions at the top of each corner of the cavity, then gets the cable connector on the card edge in the pad's base recess, "See, that's where it came from." It comes on:
"12h30m05s: You have completed the Discipline challenge, unlocking a new memory-enable coolant loop and restoring your trimps to normal combat discipline."
"Do you have any idea what that's about?" the yellow one points at the edge of the left side.
"That's-" Tightniks examines it, then suddenly realizes, "It's gotta be for the void map."
He's got a port cover open, and the bottom of it says, "NULLIFIUM/VOID HEIRLOOM INTERFACE"
"Shijou?" the grey one brings the blanket-wrapped void map.
The human clears an edge of the map; doesn't seem to matter which one, and then gets it into the slot. It disappears and the blanket settles down while the environment goes deep blue and suddenly goes super cold. "Hoe Lee!" he shivers, wrapping the blanket around himself, "I hope this isn't too much of a Napolean-Hitler Maneuver!" He glances around, but all the trimps don't seem to discomforted by the sudden cold.
12h35m24s: Void 1, 55 He, 4.369 He/hr, 2098 pop, 18.3s RC, first void AP 1% and 0.3% AP for 100 He simultaneously, we got a rare shield, but it's lame with attack, storage, and empty.
As the environment around them return to normal, the trimps cheer over the deflated corpse of the- ...whatever, who give a hoot? Tightniks finds a flurry of messages on the portal screen, two regard APs, one is about having recovered 10 He units, and the big one was about a "shield". Through the touchscreen, he enables it, and gets the status effects that it's talking about.
"Where to now, boss?" the yellow one asks, Tightniks can feel the draft off the cold trimps. They seem to be extraordinarily robust ectotherms, unlike him.
"Let's go back to that friggin' Wall, where it's warmer," he shivers, "We got that AP and could use the resources." As he leads them to the L15 route, he thinks, Maybe I did that void too early. It takes on the level of our most recently entered Zone, and the resources probably go up accordingly. [I did for character reasons after seriously considering running it at Z25 or 30.]
12h49m37s: Nursery unlocked.
"Four hundred thousand gems!" the human squeaks, "Are you kidding me?"
Grey and Yellow glance at each other, the former says "Shijou?" and starts doodling a real answer.
"I'm not sure if you've noticed, but young trimps have special diets for healthy bones," the yellow one explains.
"You eat gems?" the human gasps.
"Shijou," Grey says with a shit eating grin just above a little sign that says, "Babies eat aluminate, and gems are the best!"
"Do they like the taste?" Tighniks tosses a gem from the helium compressor in the direction of the nearest house.
"Uh-Uuuuh!" after it bounces off a paving stone, a yellow juvenile with red head fur jumps into the air to catch it in its mouth. [Puchim@s Yayo. Liek seriously, she jumps after pennies.]
13h32m59s: Zone 25, 84 He, 6.199 He/hr, 2217 pop, 52.6s RC with Z24/568, no turkimp.
It has an unusually light colored body, dark head fur that lies flat, and for trimp tails, wide and not all that prehensile, reminds Tightniks of a- ...he remembers what the animal looks like, but not that his home planet is called Earth nor that the animal is called a tanuki raccoon. Just the tail, the rest of the trimp looks like a trimp for the most part. Oh yeah, the mining foreman. [Puchim@s Yukipo] He turns to Red and asks, "What's wrong with it?"
"It's in a bad mood," the red one answers.
"I can tell," Tightniks glares angrily at the red one for a moment, cools off, takes a breath, and asks kindly, "Why is it in a bad mood?"
"We've never been out this far," the yellow one offers, "...well, with the portal captured at least. Now, it was in a good mood before it got near the cart after we started this zone. Something new on the cart?"
Tightniks approaches the mopey mining foreman and asks it, "What's the matter, little fella?"
It sighs, then starts struggling to climb [see 1x6] onto the compressor cart. Tightniks helps it up with a lift, then it goes to the portal pad and turns it on, opens up the coolant page, the challenges tab there, and sort of sighs and looks questioningly at him.
"Metal challenge:" the pad reads, "Tweak the portal to bring you to an alternate reality, where the concept of Miners does not exist..."
"Oh," Tightniks realizes, then huffs, "That explains the bad mood." He sits down with the mining foreman trimp and brushes its tail, "Don't worry, my friend. You'll be back after one cycle, and I'm sure I'll miss you and your miners. These guys," he nods at the scientists, "we're scared they wouldn't be back when I first used it on purpose, but they came back. If there's a 'Science challenge' later on, I'll have you and not them-"
The scientists flinch.
"It'll be okay," he assures the mining foreman he hasn't yet realized has fallen comfortably asleep in his lap, "It'll be okay, buddy."
16h11m02s: Gymnastic Z25 taken and gyms rapidly increasing now.
The 710 fighting trimps are majestic with their new gymnastic skill and nearly impossible to hit. Only occasionally did the gorillimp do damage. They took it down easily.
Then the dragimp they faced next blew them away with a fireball that made Tightniks flinch. It took him a second to get the dragimp back in his bee nickels. The next group was all ready to relieve their fallen comrades before they went down, even without the welcoming traps for the wild volunteers (of which Tightniks has just started into the 41st bin of ten thousand.) The dragimp can do nothing to them; anything that hits gets deflected by their V-8 shields; they never got sufficiently blindsided.
[Funny: V-8 is a veggie drink similar to clamato juice I can't find anymore, but it's really five-eight, which just happens to be the squadron number of the cast in Space: Above and Beyond. Herp-a-derp!]
19h11m12s: Spammed some random biome maps...
"Tai?" the grey one looks up at the human holding a little sign, "Last couple zones, you've been mapping a lot of random biome routes we never used. Is there any point to that?"
"Stats," the human says, fitting another one together, "Oh, and this," he tosses the trimp the completed forest route map."
As it registers in the portal system, the pad starts beeping and flashing its screen.
"What?" Tightniks sneers incredulously, "There's an AP for that?" He checks and sure enough, there's a 5% Achievement Point for making a 'perfect' map, by a full notch the biggest AP so far.
The yellow one was relaxing on the corner of the latest filled up trap bin, the 49th, notices, and leans back, "Yarey yarey..." shaking its head.
19h13m28s: Uberhouse taken.
"Shijou," the grey one stands at Tightniks feet holding a small book.
Tightniks takes a brief break from his trapmaking and stoops for his oldest scientist.
"Shijou," the grey one bobs the small book in its hands to offer it to Tightniks.
"Flush toilets and septic systems?" Tightniks reads, "You do this yourself?"
"Oh, don't you wish," the red one snickers, "No, it was in that perfect route you mapped up."
20h39m26s: Zone 30, 161 He, 7.794 He/hr, 4656 pop, 20N, 74.5s RC with Z29/1735, no turkimp, 2.5% AP for sub-60 He Z30 start...
"Oh?" Tightniks has an Ax V-3 over one shoulder and screws the helium hose connector to the portal system with one hand. He grunts, sounds kinda disappointed, sets the ax down and continues working on his massive pile of traps; he's almost finished the 55th of, he just learned, 100 huge bins.
The mining foreman had struggled up onto the cart to see, and just looks baffled. It usually looks a bit lost just as part of its demeanor, but this time it looks really quite confused, and makes rather bemused sounds too.
"Oh, what is this?" Red jumps up on the cart, sounding like it's gotta be silly.
The mining foreman climbs back down and spots a purple ore vein, makes a happy sound and pulls its shovel out of its back pocket to start digging into it.
[OC: This is not even close to an exaggeration vs. OG Puchim@s Yukipo who, in 1x2, just pulls out her shovel from nowhere and digs a hole through Project 765's indoor tile-and-concrete office floor to have a nap in the cold open of a 137 second long cartoon episode. Never run out of mushroom boxes! Also, 2nd season Golden Week gold medallion, she and Yayo dig into a volcanic island and hit an oil gusher ...you don't need to know much geology to realize...]
"Really?" Red groans, "Sheesh."
What's on the pad? "Hoarder: Have over 1 million traps at once, 2.5% damage."
20h48m06s: Gateways.
"Hmm," Tightniks pauses from his trap building and gazes over where they came from.
"Thinking of something?" the yellow one asks from the stack he's building under his feet as he puts the most recent trap on the pile.
"Yunno, we have a lot of territory back there that should be pretty pleasant to live in," Tightniks says, "You'd think we should be able to just map an enemy-free route that trimps can just sit down and live peacefully in. I'd love to be able to do that."
"Shijou," the grey one is at his feet with a massive shit-eating grin, not really "hiding" a big piece of documentation behind its back. Obviously it's not so dumb as to realize that it isn't concealed. It then pulls it out and offers it to the human, "Shijou."
"What's this-" the human gasps, "Are you kidding?"
"Shijou."
"Well?" the yellow one prompts, "Let's friggin' try it, shall we?"
21h34m53s...
For some odd reason, that quiet little mining foreman is on the trap pile, fiddling around. Seems to be trying to arm one, has the spring catch on-
"Hey, buddy!" the human notices, "What are you-"
SPROING and it goes flying through the air. Does a few flips and turns, and then sticks the landing, strikes a pose, and makes a happy sound. [op cit. 1x57]
"What the-" Tightniks says, scratching his head, I wonder how much more damage the fighters could avoid if they could do stuff like that.
"Shijou," the grey one is carefully copying out the trimpese from a tattered and dusty scroll.
"What is that?" Tightniks asks.
"Where mining buddy learned that flip," Yellow says from the cart with feet playfully dangling, "another gymnastic book we picked up a few NMEs back. Probably another chapter from the same book, actually. It seems to have been torn apart and scattered."
"Is that right, bud-" the human looks around, can't seem to find the mining foreman, "Buddy, where are you?" It can't move so fast as to get out of sight this quickly!
"Po-wee!" it cheers from the bottom of its latest hole, which is beside a pile of rich bluish-greenish copper ore, onto which another shovelful flies out of the hole onto it.
22h44m17s: Zone 32, 205 He, 9.016 He/hr, 9548 pop, 30N, 37.7s RC with Z31/2712, no tkp.
"You should probably go," Red whispers.
The exhausted human has just sat down for a nap after tossing yet another trap into the huge bin stenciled "61".
"Really, I mean it," the red trimp scientist gently sets a paw on the pilot's shoulder, "Listen to sense please. Charge all this helium and use the portal; it'll make us so much stronger."
"Only 392 thousand to go," Tightniks sighs, "All the ones I've made go to waste if I use it now. I know it's only a two-and-a-halfer, but if I go now, I'll never be in de-" his head slumps into the nodding-off of post-all-nighter fatigue, "moo."
Red and the mining foreman help the snoring human gently down onto his side. The former quietly asks the latter, "Do you think he's doing the right thing?"
The mining foreman makes a particularly delighted squeak, grabs its latest flask of leafy-flowery infusion, which is just now cool enough not to punish such a maneuver with a nasty burn, and upends the whole thing in a couple seconds. It then bounds off joyfully towards the big pit mine over there. It does not often lead the general laborers because of the gymnastic and shield driven block fight, which needs wood, but it happens to be doing so today.
Yellow stands next to the grumbling unhappy green lumber foreman trimp, who is standing on the head of its dual bit ax with its chin on the end of the haft sticking up from the head on the ground. "Cheer up!" the yellow scientist gently prods it in the elbow, "There isn't a Lumber challenge."
1d00h20m05s: Zone 33, 229 He, 9.410 He/hr, 10120 pop, 50N, 40.8s RC with Z32/3390, no turkimp.
"It's a familiar smell," the human says.
"There's no way we've been out this far since whatever it is that shtfed Trimp civilization," Red grumbles. [Word based on acronym SHTF, which stands for "stuff hits the fan" in its G-rated version. Long time ago, similarly derived "nsfw" was a kerbalese cuss word.]
"I think it's from before that," Tightniks clarifies, "from before the time loop stuff."
"I'm worried our fighting group is nearly a third of our population," Yellow sighs.
"Casualties bother you?" Tightniks asks, "I thought we talked about that."
"It's taking forever to breed up new groups, and these things, *snap* ow," Yellow didn't quite touch that one the right way, "you've got 661 thousand of are too small to help. If you don't go now, this will probably be our last Coordination and we won't be able to finish the next zone."
1d06h52m14s: Gymnastic Z35 finally away.
"Did you know it was there?" The red one asks the human as they watch the grey one transcribe another lost chapter of the Gymnastic book.
"No," Tightniks huffs, in a few minutes' break from his trap building, "But I'm not surprised, I hope it gets us Zone 36. In any case, as soon as I finish that millionth trap-"
The mining foreman makes a mournful sound.
"Don't worry, buddy," Tightniks pats it on the head, "I'll brush your tail again last thing before I go." He's working on bin #88.
1d08h00m10s: 12802 pop, 80N, 43.7s RC with Z34/5298, down from 27.4s; '31m00s...
Tightniks, wearing wool-lined leather gloves mixing shimp and bovimp ingredients, plugs the void map that they got from earlier in the zone into the portal, bundled up against the expected cold. He hopes that the fresh Gymnastic Z35 and Coordination Z34 will get them through it.
1d08h33m03s...
"Do you think you can get it back out of there?" Red asks the shivering human as he reaches for the portal.
There are a pair of ejector levers beside the void map slot which clicked when he inserted it, but the void map disappears, so it remained an open question as to whether they could get it back out. Making sure not to have his hands over the void map slot, Tightniks gets a thumb over each one and there's resistance like something is in the empty slot. He grunts and pushes down until they suddenly snap down, the ejected void map rematerializes. "Well, that's a relief," he sets it down and the starts doffing his coats and sweaters to let the warm air of the normal world reach him.
"Try again later?" Yellow asks.
"Yes," the human says.
"What, are you kidding?" Red scoffs, these things level up with the zones!"
"Later on in this zone, obviously," Tightniks grunts with a huff, and then turns to see the grey one holding its little sign with those exact words on it, can't help but smile.
1d09h08m09s: Snimp in Z36c74...
Having just finished yet another trap for bin #95 of the hundred that he needs for the million-traps AP, he tosses it in and looks to the front. There's not much left of that snimp, but it just killed a third fighting group. "The training bonus from running ten laps in an on-level map route doesn't transfer to the void, does it?"
"Shijou," the grey one says with a note of confirmation.
"And I'm getting close to done this pile of traps we need for that 2.5% AP damage bonus."
"Shijou," it says again.
1d09h08m21s: Snimp in Z36c75...
Tightniks sighs, "...and there's another one. So much for that void map with its heinous critically accurate fast voidsnimps and ugly boss fight." And he returns to building traps.
1d10h14m08s: Trying again...
"NULLIFIUM/VOID HEIRLOOM INTERFACE," Tightniks tightens the stuff around himself and then finishes getting the void map inserted with his gloves, and his fingers come together as it puffs out in a brief blue mist in the void environment.
"Timba timba," Tightniks hadn't even noticed that the lumber foreman was up on his head, pats him on the head, wants to get back to work. [No Puchim@s resembles the lumber foreman.]
"Oh, there you are," the human says, "Sorry, I wanted to finish the run with the mining foreman in charge of the resourcing workers. I don't know what's about to happen to it when I hit the Metal challenge."
"Who the devon talked you into into trying this thing again?" Yellow grumbles, looking up at the indigo sky and mysteriously shrunken and dim sun, hands- ...forepaws on its waist, not discomforted by the cold, but bothered by the re-attempt. [This cuss-word after Disturbed song "Inside the Fire".]
"Shijou," the grey one grins above a Rosetta-stone-like sign it's holding with "It was me." in forty-seven languages both human and trimp.
"Zone 37 is hopeless in the time it'll take me to finish building the traps," Tightniks says.
"Won't the cold slow you down?" Red inquires, "It seems to get to you for some reason we don't get."
"Timba timba," the lumber foreman confirms from its perch on Tightiks' jacket hood.
"Yeah," he huffs, tightening it down, "but it slows down the portal clock by the same amount, so who cares?"
1d10h38m48s: Voidsnimp in c12...
Even in the void, Tightniks has gotten used to the sounds of the combat and trimps dying en masse, but when he heard that voidsnimp screech, which is similar to a "drill" robot from an Earth video game he has almost totally forgotten called Descent (Interplay 1995), he almost involuntarily turned to see, Even way back here, they can damage us despite all that gymnastic training? Then it landed the critical hit and wiped them out, as all critical hits do on this void route. He still finished the trap he was working on before going back to the portal, "Forget this, we're just getting the zone blimp." He pops the map from the portal's void slot, and starts getting his void gear off. His uniform long since wore out, so he's wearing something much more cave-manny. [I picked that sound because that sucker was dangerous and terrifying and carried the nearly hitscan Vulcan cannon. There was no Descent II equivalent, but the Thiefbot was pretty annoying.]
1d10h45m30s: 1M traps AP for 2.5%. 1d10h47m36s: Zone 37, 345 He, 9.916 He/hr, 13120 pop, 100N, 33.6s RC with Z34/5298, 2774 pop short, no turkimp.
Tightniks had nearly finished the long procedure for loading and configuring the portal, then sat down with the mining foreman to brush its tail like he promised.
The scientist trimps tried to hit the portal's activation plunger, but it refused to travel the full distance closed for any of them. Quite tired themselves out trying. The only one not exhausted into total silence was the grey one with its exasperated "Shijou..."
The mining foreman refused to go to sleep, and watched intently as Tightniks finally reached over and set it home with one hand. Its last nervous little sigh was the only thing he remembered-
The ship is without power, and Tightniks can't run the radar much without draining the batteries...

2024.05.21 02:18 Gazooonga Wayward

Inspired by a writing prompt. I figured I'd take a crack at a fantasy litRPG. If you like it, and if you like more frequent, shorter chapters, thenet me know. I mostly use this as a second account to try out ideas.
I woke up with a pounding headache, as if I had been beaten over the head with a mallet. The first thing I noticed was the smell of mildew and dust assaulting my senses, and the dim light cast down by a single, rusted chandelier swinging gently side to side. There was no noise, no signs of life, but plenty of inhabitation: stained cots and bunks, dirty dishes strewn about, and an old longsword leaning on some lockers placed next to the only exit in the room. I stood up and groaned as I stretched and popped my back, a disgruntled growl escaping my thin lips. I didn't usually growl like that... Did I growl like that? I had no idea. It was all fuzzy, and I couldn't really make out who I was, where I was from, or even a name. At points I could almost imagine something, a name starting with an M, but it dissipated as fast as I had imagined it, as if it was being kept from me.
I thumped my scaly tail against the floor in agitation as I looked around some more. There was nothing that really made this place stand out from some poorly-kept cellar or prison cell. The more I noticed, however, the more I was starting to believe that I was in the latter: there were no glass dishes, merely wooden bowls and pewter utensils, and the cots seemed to have been used by many. No food, no furniture beyond that, just a bucket in the corner that I really didn't want to inspect and some lockers that could have contained anything. The door was a heavy iron rectangle with a barred semicircular window from which no light appeared to escape from, and beyond that was unknown. I was alone here, utterly alone.
I walked up to the door and attempted to open it, but there was no handle or wheel to interact with, nor was there anything else that could feasibly open it. I slammed my broad shoulder against it, only to hiss in pain as my shoulder ached. The door did not budge. I tried again, with a shout, and while the door did not budge the room seemed to shake just a little, as if I had some kind of immense strength. Something from the lockers fell down and hit the floor, shattering and causing me to jump. I spun around, claws extended (claws?) and growled at whatever made that noise, only to see what remained of a mirror that I knew hadn't been on the lockers before scattered across the ground.
I grumbled and sighed, walking over to clean it up so as to not step in it later like a fool when I suddenly saw my reflection… if it was even mine to begin with. I wasn't what I was supposed to be, although I didn't know exactly what I was supposed to be, but I knew that it wasn't this. My skin was made of thick, silver scales and my eyes were a bright deep marine blue through with pitch black slits in the center. My pointed maw was filled with razor-sharp teeth, and my head was adorned with long and curly horns. I also realized I was wearing nothing but a pair of linen undergarments, which was a bit annoying.
Something was wrong. Something was horribly wrong. This wasn't the person I was supposed to be, I knew that, but I also couldn't remember who I was before and that scared me even more. All that was left of my identity was my apprehension, my reflection, and the constraints of this room.
I gulped and turned back to the door, eyes darting to and fro. Then, as I placed my hand on the wall next to the door absentmindedly to balance myself as I could feel my head spin. Then I felt it; a piece of paper stuck to the wall with a simple dagger. Now I really knew that the paper or the knife hadn't been there before, and all these little details were starting to freak me out. I yanked the knife out of the wall and held the paper in my head. Before I could even read the note, the small hole in the wall quickly closed up as if the whole room was alive, which it absolutely could have been for all I knew. I turned back to the note and read it, eager to see what it said.
Don't open the door.
That's all it said: No name, no location, and no explanation or details. Just this vague warning. I sighed and set it down before staring at the door again, perplexed. Nothing about it changed.
Then I looked at the note again, hoping to see some kind of change, maybe some kind of guidance. To my surprise, it did.
Open the locker.
Now I knew that I wasn't imagining things: this place was changing, and maybe it was responding to my psyche. It wasn't the craziest idea. Where am I? I thought, hoping to try and direct my thoughts towards the note. I looked back down and noticed a minor change.
The Labyrinth. Open the locker.
The Labyrinth? What the hell did that mean? What labyrinth? That didn't answer any questions I had. Where is the labyrinth?
It is here. Open the locker.
Okay, so the note was a smartass, that was good to know. I let out a resigned sigh and stepped over to the grimy lockers next to the door, the pair of them stuck together with rust and other grime. This whole room made me feel dirtier than it had any right to, especially with the cool, damp stone floor somehow feeling sticky against my raptorial feet. With enough force and a frustrated grunt, I yanked the first locker open, revealing something I hadn't expected: clothing. Carefully and intentionally folded clothing. I quickly began pulling it all out, and organizing the haul. There was a wool undershirt, a patched gambeson, stitched leather trousers, socks and hose, and worn rawhide boots. That's what excited me the most: the cold and the dampness of the room was starting to seep into my bones and I wanted something to cover up with immediately. I set down the note on top of the locker and quickly dressed, then searched the other locker.
In the other was more useful supplies, but of a different nature: a large traveling pack, a faded breastplate, a plain bronze necklace, a hide-covered heater shield, a short bow along with a leather quiver of barbed arrows, and a flanged mace. There was also the longsword next to the lockers, which I would be keeping: it'd rust away here if I didn't take it. Inside the sack was some carefully packed rations, mainly of salt pork, hardtack, a quart of cheap ale, a tin of lard, a big slice of hard cheese, and some dried apple. It wasn't anything to write home about, but it was good and that was much better than the alternative. There was also a bedroll attached to the bottom, and a little mess kit hanging from the side, stored in a leather tub.
I dressed fully and strapped on the armor before consulting the note again. Why am I here?
To be tested.
I didn't like that. I didn't like that at all. I didn't feel like being tested. Why am I being tested?
It has been written.
That didn't explain anything. I simply balled my free fist, my new claws digging into my scaly palm. What now.
Open the door.
“But I… can't,” I spoke as I turned around to the sealed door, only to find that it had changed, revealing a metal pressure wheel I needed to spin to unlock it. The barred window was still pitch black, but it was a start. I quickly jogged over and gripped the wheel, easily opening it and revealing a hall that was pitch black. After a few seconds, wall sconces lit up in rows down the hall ominously, as if beckoning me further. I lifted up the note to consult it again, but it felt weightier in my hands, as if it too had changed. When I looked at it, it had transformed into a thick, leather bound notebook, and attached to the front was an ink quill for writing. I opened the book and looked at our entire conversation, including my thoughts, inscribed within the first few pages in elegant cursive, all the handwriting identical. I lifted the quill and gulped before writing one last question.
What will happen to me?
My handwriting was identical to the rest. In seconds, the notebook responded, my hand moving without my control or consent and scribbling down a response in my exact same handwriting.
You will be tested. Do not fail.

2024.05.21 01:50 clidetheglyde The more you play the less fun it becomes?

The more I play this game I truly understand just how unfun it is.
I finally hit a personal rank goal and decided to just hang out in quick match in a serious attempt to get better at the game and I find myself frustrated with what the true play experience with Tekken 8.
I don't press buttons because everyone has counter hit launchers that heat engage. I try side stepping and side walking to be defensive with movement and get myself clipped with tracking(homing? glitching?) moves that heat engage. I try not to be too reckless or predictable with my pressure and I get hit with keepout tools that heat engage. I try to stand my ground in netural and contest with throws but even then I find myself getting engaged on.
When then developers and designers created this game did they only think about the offensive players experience? Sure its cool to sit in testing, devoid of human interaction and do all this cool shit and jerk off with special effects but it is NOT fun to be on the receiving end of this shit.
Against characters like Nina, Feng, Hwo, Ling I just stand there and attempt to neutral block and duck or low parry but inevitably I get hit with mid that I don't block even though I blocked a jillion of them in a row right before. You think the training and replay features would help with that but they don't.
I've had players ki-charge on me and send me some real nasty and racially abusive messages because they think I've given up and I'm ruining their gameplay experience, when actuality I'm just at a loss for what to do against their character. I'd try to ask for tips but I don't think the people with the offensive custom outfits that hurl slurs are the ones for advice.
I've asked a few people and they've told me its just time to do homework and get deeper invested in the community and it'll make learning easier but from with my experience from the community in the game I don't really want to do that. Even the post here are generally negative in tone and people are pretty fucking rude and reddit is supposed to be the nice part of the internet.
I'm just frustrated because I had so much fun with this game and I have a lot of time invested but now I'm truly seeing "How the sausage is made" and I think it's just better for me to drop the game altogether.
Just frustrated and venting I guess. Has anyone else gone through anything similiar? Any tips or insight?

2024.05.21 01:17 Timely-Tea3099 ForEach within List affecting performance at scale?

I'm working on a persona fusion calculator app for the Persona game series. I've been working on improving the performance of one of my views - a list that can have up to 15,000 items in it.
I have these models:
struct Persona: Codable, Hashable, Equatable { let name: String let special: Bool? let inherits: String? let item: String? let itemR: String? let skillCard: Bool? let arcana: ArcanaType // this is an enum with ~20 cases - each one has a name, icon, and color let level: Int // plus some other fields that aren't relevant } struct Recipe: Hashable, Codable { let sources: [Persona] // this has at least 2 and up to 12 personas let result: Persona let cost: Int init(sources: [Persona], result: Persona) { self.sources = sources self.result = result var costHolder = 0 sources.forEach({ costHolder += (27 * $0.level * $0.level) + (126 * $0.level) + 2147 }) self.cost = costHolder } }
Next I have a list of these views, maxing out around 15,000:
struct RecipeRowView: View { let recipe: Recipe var body: some View { HStack { Spacer() Text(recipe.cost.formatted(.currency(code: "JPY"))) .font(.title3) .bold() Spacer() } .padding(.top, 25) ForEach(recipe.sources, id:\.name) { source in NavigationLink(value: Navigation.persona(source, .detail)) { Text(source.name) } } } }
I have a row view I was using with an image and a shape, but even replacing it with a Text like you see here isn't improving it much - it still takes at least a couple seconds to load the list after the data finishes loading. However, if I update it to do this instead of the ForEach:
struct RecipeRowView: View { let recipe: Recipe var body: some View { HStack { Spacer() Text(recipe.cost.formatted(.currency(code: "JPY"))) .font(.title3) .bold() Spacer() } .padding(.top, 25) let sourceList = recipe.sources.map({ $0.name }).joined(separator: " & ") Text(sourceList) } }
Then the list loads pretty much immediately after the data finishes.
Is there any way to improve the ForEach performance? I'd prefer to have it in there, so I can use the NavigationLink to link to the detail page for each persona.
UPDATE: I figured out the issue - without the ForEach, the list was loading lazily, but with the ForEach, it was loading all the views in the list at once. Wrapping the HStack and the ForEach RecipeRowView in a LazyVStack made it so only the views on the screen were loaded.

2024.05.20 23:43 XCanuck My marriage feels strained and very one-sided, unsure how to cope with a wife who won't communicate or share responsibilities

There's a "dad joke" I heard that goes: My therapist told me to write out a big long rant letter to everyone I have a problem with, burn them all to ashes, and scatter the ashes into the wind. I did all that last weekend, but now I'm not sure what to do with the letters.
This post feels like that big, long rant, but I genuinely could really use some help/ideas beyond "go to marriage counseling." I provide so much to the family and household that isn't reciprocated, but trying to set boundaries to feel more balanced gets passive-aggressive and/or silent treatment. I'm not writing all this here just to vent, I've actually edited this down pretty significantly to summarize what I'm going through and giving some examples.
Thanks for giving me the space to share this.
Me (50/M), Wife (45/F), two kids 15 and 13. We have no family who live anywhere close to us. We're in the middle of America, her divorced parents are on the coast, and mine's in Canada where I'm originally from (in case my username didn't give that away).
TLDR at the bottom.
Trigger warnings: a ruined birthday, shared/not-shared finances, me losing my cool and walking out on my family and getting the silent treatment since, and apparently being the only parent/grown-up in the house.
To this family, I feel that all I am to them is the income/paycheck and personal chef, and I'm ready to walk away. My wife won't communicate, gets defensive and angry, and doesn't contribute to the marriage or teach our kids about responsibility, so I look like a jerk all the time. If I speak up and ask her to help, I'm treated like a jerk. If I don't speak up, she does nothing.
Background about physicality, work and finances
I work in tech, typically 50-70 hours per week, and take on occasional (< 5 hrs/week) contract work as a side business to pay for my 3D printing hobby that I'm also trying to turn into a side business. She works part-time maybe one full day of work throughout the week on an as-needed basis.
My job pays the benefits, and I've established a retirement fund for us, plus a 401K and Roth IRA, plus a 529 account for each of the kids that I've been investing in since they were born. I paid off both cars. We're debt-free except for our mortgage, and we have enough assets to pay off the house if we choose to.
We each have a bank account for ourselves, plus a joint bank account. Her part-time paychecks and other money from an inheritance, goes 100% into her account only, and I use my account for my 3D printing business to maintain an LLC. Just about everything financial is paid for from my paychecks. I've always treated this as "our" money. All bills, mortgage, memberships, subscriptions (Netflix, etc), things the kids need (clothing, shoes, school supplies, etc), furniture, medical bills, etc are all paid from a joint account that is funded 100% by my paycheck. She makes no contributions to this account, but she does withdraw from it for fast food, snacks she buys just for herself, her own crafting hobbies, and she'll pick up maybe $100/month for some groceries.
I promised her before we were even married that if she wanted to be a stay-at-home mom or, at any point, go back to work, she'd have my full support either way, and I've kept that promise. She worked full-time for about 2 years before we had kids and worked a fair bit of part-time work before the kids started school in 2013. She's been at her part-time job for 2 years, so quite a span where she didn't work at all.
She works as a 1099 contractor and, despite repeatedly being asked to, won't reserve money for tax time. So, not only does she spend 100% of her paycheck, but I have to be sure that we save enough to cover her tax bill every year. She's never offered to contribute to tax payments we have to make.
I had gallbladder surgery and bariatric surgery, so I've had pretty restrictive dietary needs for the past 5-6 years. She often made comments about me being heavy and having a shortened life span, but since my bariatric surgery, she's expressed resentment about my body changing (I lost 120+lbs) and now doesn't care to learn what kinds of protein/carb/fat balance I need, and gained about 80lbs herself. As such, she does not contribute to any meal planning, which means I'm doing 95% of all meal planning, groceries, and cooking.
When it comes to cooking, I'm a damn good cook, and it's 100% because of YouTube. She grew up in an environment where she wasn't encouraged to cook or even learn to, so she lived on PBJ through college until we started dating and I would cook or take her out. When the kids were in their "picky" stages of 4yrs-9yrs of age, she got frustrated with cooking but years later still holds to that "NOBODY likes what I cook". So she makes maybe 2 or 3 meals per month now, and it's always the same meals. Last night, she cooked 10 people's worth of macaroni with a single pound of ground beef and more than a pound of cheese. I had to pick out the meat to get my protein and then drink a protein shake afterward, and then got offended that I threw away the noodles/cheese. (My diet needs high protein, low carbs, and almost no fat, she knows this because I tell her quite often, but she won't do anything about it; she's bought maybe 3 shelves worth of cookbooks and won't even open them or go take a class or anything.)
Our oldest kid has shown an interest in cooking and will maybe cook one meal per week and ask me to help him out, so I share what I've learned, things I've tried, experimented with, lessons learned, etc., and we have a good time, and they really appreciate the learning opportunity. On the rare occasion I do see my wife making dinner in the kitchen, I show her that I'm really happy about what she's making and ask if she wants help chopping or anything and I only get "no" as an answer and completely shut down like I'm not supposed to be in the kitchen. I'll try to have conversation with her but then she can't concentrate on cooking, chopping, etc, and then "ruined" dinner is my fault.
"Her" money versus "our" money, and how we spend our days/weekends
My wife had a relative die quite a few years ago and in the fall of 2018 was given a $250k inheritance. She has always referred to this as "her" money, "her" retirement, in case "she" needs a nursing home later. I'm not in her future plans, apparently. She gave $50k of it to a cousin who was deliberately left out of that relative's will. My wife's will leaves any remaining inheritance money to the kids. No mention of me anywhere whatsoever.
Once the inheritance money hit her bank account, she decides to buy a horse from halfway across the country and put it in a boarding stable 20 minutes from the house. It was a childhood dream of hers. Apparently, she's allowed to pursue her dreams and interests, it's "her" money, I'm not allowed to tell her what to do with it, but she complains when my 3D printing business makes enough money to buy another printer to keep up with demand... And my hobby takes up less time per week than she spends at the barn.
When she's not working her one-day-a-week job, she's at the boarding stable for a few hours per day, playing with her horse, taking selfies, taking him on walks, not actually riding him. With her remaining time at home, and when she gets home with the kids, she's lying on the couch, acting worn out and tired like she just bench-pressed the friggin' horse. (And yes, I know horse training CAN be exhausting, but she's not doing anything exhausting with him. She literally walks him on a path, or walks him in circles in an arena enclosure, or she's brushing him down and bathing him to look nice for Instagram)
In the summer of 2018, right before she got this inheritance money, she spent $50k of "our" money on a kitchen renovation that she insisted she designs herself, and then felt guilty about the bill and me having to take on more side contracting work to pay off the HELOC in a reasonable amount of time, and contributed back $10k to the whole project from "her" money afterward. "Her" money paid for the kids' orthodontics, about $3k each. But she literally contributes NOTHING else financially to the family.
If I had to guess, she's got about $150k left of that inheritance money, maybe less, she won't ever tell me about it. And we don't get a notice from the bank about interest gained at tax time every year because she put it in an account that makes ZERO interest. She sees my investments with 25%-40% gains, but won't ever ask for my help or input. Instead, she asked 3 other guys at work who told her to at least get a Vanguard account, but almost 6 years later she's never done it.
I work full-time as mentioned, and work from home. Work is typically 50+ hours per week but I try to cap it at 60-ish if I can. For the past month I've been on a project with a tight deadline, and working more like 10-14 hours per day 6 days per week. It's like that in tech, she's been understanding of this in the past, and I'm sure to take jobs where this is NOT the norm. Still, I'm always happy to help drive the kids to/from school or to music lessons or doctors, but I'm usually treated like "how dare you," that's "her" job, like that's her contribution to everything.
She works a part-time job doing marketing. Maybe 2-3 hours a day, one or two days per week. Sometimes busier in Q1 as they prep/plan most of the year, but then very low-lift afterward. She spends maybe 40 minutes per day taking the kids to/from school. Other than that, she's at the barn or on the couch. (have I mentioned we've gone through several couches that "our" money pays for??)
The marital imbalance I'm dealing with
She won't enforce chores for the kids, remind them to do laundry, or clean their rooms, or even shower. She'll text me "one of the boys smells" after taking them to school, but won't insist they shower, or back me up on the whole "c'mon guys, brush twice a day at least, and shower at least every 2 days with actual some soap on your bodies and actual shampoo on your hair, and use deodorant..." She'll make remarks like "Didn't you wear and sleep in those clothes for the past 3 days?" but won't make them change, or tell them to do their laundry.
She might do dishes 2 to 3 times per month, it's normally a chore we give to the kids, but she never enforces it. If they stack up for 3 days she'll do some of them but not all of them. One kid was born on an odd-numbered day, the other on an even-numbered day, so the rule is if today is an even or odd day, we know whose turn it is to do the dishes. And if the month has an odd number of days, I do the dishes on the 31st/29th day. But they're teenagers, they'd rather be in their rooms being teenagers, so I have to constantly remind them. Neither of them checks that the dishes are even clean before putting them away, something she specifically called out being embarrassed about when we were dating and visiting her mom's house where half of the dishes in the cupboard still had dried food all over them.
And then garbage day, or yard work, or vacuuming, cleaning a bathroom, cleaning their room, shoveling snow. She doesn't help enforce ANY of the chores that we agreed on. So I'm the sole disciplinarian around here, which makes the kids grow up thinking they better avoid me or I'm the jerk who's gonna put them to work.
Nothing happens around here unless I ask the rest of the family. I've purposefully left chores undone for "that's almost a health hazard" amounts of time and still nobody takes the initiative, nor will she ask the kids to help. They all see the work needs to be done, but they won't choose to help, and they're probably learning from her example of just sitting in some other room/area of the house and someone else will do it someday.
Even asking them "what kind of meals do you want this week, what haven't we had in a while, what's your favorite meal," you'd swear I was asking them to cure cancer every Saturday so I could start to plan meals for the following week and get groceries on Sunday, which has been our routine since the kids could talk.
Their cop-out is to skip the 3 shelves of cookbooks and flip through a binder we kept from a few months of Hello Fresh meals but then it's the same 10-12 meals that get kinda old after a while.
I feel like I have no help from anyone.
I reached my tipping point, and recently walked out on my family
A little over three weeks ago, I'm on this tight deadline at work, getting maybe 3-4 hours of sleep at night, pulling 10-14 hour days. It's a Wednesday, I remember about 430pm that I should commit my code, as I usually do 'cause I need to make dinner because nobody else is gonna do it. Oh, wait, tonight was grilled cheese and tomato soup -- literally, ANYONE ELSE in the house, including our 13yr old who has never shown any interest in cooking, could heat a can of soup and melt cheese between bread, right??? Surely SOMOENE else in the family will handle dinner, so I keep working (note, without asking anyone else to help with dinner), hoping someone else will handle the meal. (and yes, I know this is typically against my diet, but I indulge in this low-protein, high-carb, higher-fat meal about once a month.)
At 730pm my wife comes STOMPING into my office area, "I can't make the grilled cheese like you do." No politeness, just turns and stomps back to the kitchen. I follow her to the kitchen, where the tomato soup is on a RAPID boil, yet she hasn't even started making the grilled cheese sandwiches. I turn the soup off, take it off the burner, and start to describe what to do for the grilled cheese. It's honestly nothing special; I put shredded cheese in the pan to get crusty on the outside of the bread, then stack up the the grilled cheese, put break on top, let the inner cheese melt, and flip it onto more shredded cheese. Highly recommended.
She says "Oh" and ... LEAVES THE KITCHEN, leaving me there expecting me to make dinner... and I'm pissed. I should have just gone back to my work area, but she parks herself back on the couch.
I get everything made, and of course nobody sets the table, ever. Now I'm seriously pissed off, so I slam some dishes in the middle of the table and go back into the kitchen to get the pot of soup and plate of sandwiches. I get back to the dinner table, where my wife and youngest are just standing there, STILL not setting the table despite me standing there with food that I can't even put down. So I drop the food on the table wherever I can, soup splashes everywhere, and I start setting the table while they stand there and watch and ... I lost my cool. I flung bowls and spoons in the general area where they're supposed to be at the table, and I walked out of the house. I returned 4 or 5 hours later once they were all in bed.
The ONE meal in my busy schedule that ANY of them could have made, and her contribution was putting a can of soup in a pot.
She still didn't make any meals for the rest of the week. That Sunday she put a meal plan together for the whole following week. Again, all super carb-heavy when she knows my own diet can't handle that. And then she stopped planning ANYTHING ELSE SINCE THEN. The following week's "meal plan" was just a list of who was home on which night because of end-of-school-year events going on. No meals, no grocery list. Meanwhile I'm still on my deadline... Last week, no help at all. This week, zero help.
So this week's meal plan I finally set a boundary for myself that was VERY clear to them: I'm planning to cook 3 meals for the whole week, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and left the rest open with no meal planned. Last night at 6pm she made her "hamburger helper" and plans "ramen" for tomorrow (again, all noodles and broth, very little protein), but no other help from her for the rest of the meal plan for the remainder of the week.
My recently ruined 50th birthday
My birthday was a little over a week ago. I turned 50. Send me your favorite dad jokes, please, I beg of you.
My wife asked me 2 or 3 months ago if I wanted any kind of party, etc. to which I said yeah, I'd love to have a few friends over, named several of them, all of whom she either has in her phone, or are guys married to women that I know she stays in regular contact with. I mentioned some all-you-can-eat places that we could go, just the 4 of us, where I could pick out good proteins etc. and they could eat whatever they wanted.
I got nothing. No dinner out. No party. No friends.
The night before my birthday, she was too lazy to get off the couch, so I went to bed alone. I woke up in bed alone. I told the family the day before that I wanted French Toast for breakfast, normally something we'd do on Christmas Day, but it was my 50th birthday gosh darn it, and I was even thawing bacon. I even bought all the groceries needed. Nope, had to cook that alone too, so I only made enough for me, and ate alone. Showered alone, 'cause we haven't been intimate in ... 3 months? 4 months? And who cares that it's my birthday.
Nobody asked if I wanted to go out anywhere, go see a movie, go for a hike with the dog, nothing. So I went out with the dog, alone.
That night I had to make dinner for the family, again, on my own friggin' birthday. Alone in the kitchen. AND I had to remind the kids to clean up the kitchen afterward 'cause they won't do it unless they're told. She bought tiny pieces of cheesecake for dessert, which she knows I don't like and can't eat because of my diet. I had one tiny piece, she and the kids ate the rest.
No cake, no candle, no balloons. It was my FIFTIETH birthday ...
We have some serious communication breakdown going on
Since I walked out of the house a few weeks back, she only talks to me when she wants something, and that comes across more as a demand, "I need you to pick the kids up from school, I have to be at work" and walks away She won't say good morning or even hi, unless I say it first. Lately, I say "hi" or "hey" as we're passing in the house and I get no response at all. I get literal one-word responses when I ask her a question. A few nights ago, several nights in a row, I'm in the living room on my laptop trying to get more work done, she'll come in the room, not ask me what I'm doing or if I'm working, and blast a TV show on her phone at near-maximum volume, and fall asleep on the couch.
She gets mad and offended any time I offer constructive criticism of any kind. And it doesn't matter how delicately I try to phrase things, I'll agonize for days over exactly which words to use, she'll get super defensive, angry and lash out, and give me the silent treatment for weeks.
Last Tuesday was an end-of-year awards show for our youngest, who's finishing 8th grade. He's really into music and he stayed after school to practice for the event. She comes home to get ready then decides to leave for the event by herself. I only noticed when the garage opened and closed. She doesn't say anything to me or our oldest kid about what time she wanted to leave or if we're ready to go, she just ... left. Well of COURSE we both want to go, but now we have to drive there separately. And he wins a TON of awards, one from his classmates, one from his teacher, and one from the school. I'd have been PISSED to have missed that. "Oh, I thought you didn't want to go..." was her reason later.
This past Saturday, I do ALL the yardwork 'cause she won't tell the kids to help and I'm frankly tired of having to ask for help. A few hours of yard work later, I tell my youngest to vacuum 'cause nobody vacuums around here unless I tell them to and honestly it's gross. I hop in the shower to clean up and cool down from the yard work. Youngest decides it's "too hot in the house" and sits in the kitchen to eat a popsicle instead of vacuuming. No backup from my wife at all on this, who's still parked on the couch. So I get upset with him, he does a half-assed job, says he's "tired' (from watching YouTube all day) and goes back to his room and we don't see him again the rest of the day. Again, no help or backup from my wife.
It's now 7pm in the house Saturday night, and -- shocker -- NOBODY has bothered to even ASK about dinner much less put any kind of food together. 8pm rolls around and my oldest finally emerges from his own room, starts thawing some chicken, and comes to ask me for help to make a meal, which I happily do. Until I get grumbly comments about "why are we eating so late." And my wife makes her way back to the couch. Not so much as a "thanks for cooking" or offer to clean up. And of COURSE nobody is doing the dishes, because DAD didn't remind anyone.
WHAT DO I DO??
19 years ago when we got married, this felt like a marriage. We did stuff together, we split things evenly, shared responsibility and chores, we both cooked, we bought groceries together. The first few years with kids were rough, but it at least FELT like a partnership once we figured out how to be parents. But something has shifted over the past decade, and this feels less and less like a partnership, much less feeling like a marriage. This whole relationship feels very one-sided, I get no appreciation for any of my constant hard work and being a provider. Instead, she's accused me, twice, of having an affair, once to the point of giving me anxiety/panic attacks for which I was almost hospitalized.
Now, she and the kids are noticing and talking behind my back (like I can't hear them) about the fact that I'm not wearing my wedding band anymore. Of course, the kids won't ask me directly, and I'm not bringing it up myself, and my wife's not talking to me anyway. Maybe she's still mad that I got mad a few weeks ago and walked out? Hard to know when the person won't talk to you unless they want something from you.
I'll put the damn ring back on when it feels like a marriage again. But then the next time it comes off, I think it'll stay off.
TL;DR! To this family, I feel that all I am to them is the income/paycheck and personal chef, and I'm ready to walk away. I can see why parents stay together "for the kids." As with most marriages, it started great; we've had bumpy times, but we always got through it together. Nothing like this, though. My wife won't communicate, gets defensive and angry, and doesn't contribute to the marriage or teach our kids about responsibility, so I look like a jerk all the time. Something has shifted over the past decade, and this feels less and less like a partnership. This whole relationship feels very one-sided, I get no appreciation for any of my constant hard work and being a provider.

11 Shows in 7 Days! An extensive review of my week on Broadway seeing majority of the shows from the front row!
Hello! I wanted to come by here and talk about my recent time on Broadway a couple weeks back. This trip has been years in the making, but I was only able to make it happen this year as I thought I would go all out for my 25th birthday and celebrate being halfway through my 20’s in New York City. The last time I was in the city was way back in 2019 to which I squeezed 5 shows in three days. I’m from Washington State so it isn’t that easy of a trek, which is why I managed to squeeze 11 shows in a span of 7 days. I had four double show days, of which I loved. I prefer seeing shows from the front row because of the added immersiveness factor, not to mention just being so close to the actors that allows you to see and feel the show in a much more intimate manner. Most of the shows I saw on this trip were from the front row with the exception of Sweeney Todd. I go into ranking those seats towards the latter part of this post! Musical theater has helped me heal so much in the past and there wasn’t a better way of doing a “reset” than seeing shows back to back. I also wanted to utilize this post to disclose what I personally thought about each show I saw.
This will be a pretty extensive post so without further adieu, here we go!
Day 1
https://preview.redd.it/kubacnk0rn1d1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf56c01806fa9d74f5fb24f0bbc994412da3e94b
Hell’s Kitchen (matinee)
Thoughts: I came out of this show kind of realizing why it got the amount of Tony nominations that it got. It definitely caters to the masses as the plot was fairly easy to follow and my god were the actors STELLAR! Literal jaw drop when Shoshana Bean made her first entrance - a true icon in the flesh. I also wasn’t expecting to come out of this show crying as “No One” really got to me since I have such a close bond with my mom. Such a high energy show and it was the perfect show to start my week in the city!
Front Row thoughts: (AA106) I’m 5’9 and didn’t have to break my neck looking up except for when they were utilizing the very top most part of the towers downstage left. Good legroom as well.
Favorite Moment: Jade Milan’s debut as Ali! You can see the amount of support that the cast had for her and to think that this was her very first time doing it w/o any put-ins was beyond astounding. I was so honored to be in the house for her first principal performance!
Notable Mentions: Kecia Lewis - omg she is a star and I was blown away by how moving her performance was as Miss Liza Jane.
Stagedoor Experience: Not too large of a crowd and everyone was very respectful. Most of the ensemble came out to sign, but the only principals that came out were Jade and Kecia.
Other notes: This was a last minute decision and I regret none of it!
https://preview.redd.it/x243flw3rn1d1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9badaacdc5cf6f75842654c46b8a8f740241138a
Lempicka (evening)
Thoughts: I was a lil confused ngl.. I personally just thought that the plot was all over the place but the cast was 10/10! I remember Amber Iman stating in an interview that they want the audience to NEED intermission and that's exactly how I felt after Act 1. I just felt like I needed room to breathe so I could also come into terms of what I just witnessed. I’ve seen several reviews saying that Eden was flat, but she was going all out on this performance.
Front (ish) Row thoughts: Second row on the aisle (B2) - cute lil interaction from some of the ensemble members. You also still get a full view of the stage. Only had to crane my neck up when they were using the topmost platform on stage.
Favorite Moment: Our Time gave me goosebumps. I like the big ensemble moments where you can literally feel their vibrato in your face!
Notable Mentions: Kyle Brown was on for Tadeusz Lempicki. ALSO Jimin Moon is so cute that is all thank u..
Stagedoor Experience: All the principals came out to sign plus a few members of the ensemble! Eden and Amber really took time with everyone.
Other notes: Love the quarter zip that they had available at the merch stand. Easily the most comfortable piece of merch from all the shows I’ve been to.
Day 2
https://preview.redd.it/9hk8cbb5rn1d1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=331b1279a99c93283bea1755b86834d7ea696146
Sweeney Todd - FINAL PERFORMANCE (matinee)
Thoughts: The energy in the theater for the final performance was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Everyone was just so excited and you could definitely feel it. Every seat had a reusable Sweeney tote bag as a token for the final show.
Seat Location & Thoughts: First row of the second mezz (MMEZZ A121) - Perfect view of everything. I was surprised that I could still see the facial expressions of everyone on stage.
Favorite Moment: Literally the entirety of the show! Sutton was such a comedic Mrs. Lovett.
Notable Mentions: Joe Locke!! Exceeded my expectations!
Stagedoor Experience: The craziest stagedoor experience on the trip. I believe people camped out for this closing stage door shortly after the performance began. Very crowded but everyone was mostly respectful. I believe only a few of the principals plus some of the ensemble came out to sign. Aaron, Sutton, and Joe did not.
Other notes: Aaron made a quick appearance at the stagedoor. Just kinda peeked his head out to wave and thank everyone for coming.
https://preview.redd.it/a706yds6rn1d1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=71b32c2cc02f4afc13153dea20ce2f26993a721f
Titanique (evening)
Thoughts: I have never laughed so much at a show, but Titanique did just that! Dee was phenomenal! Very campy, kooky krazy!!
Front (ish) Row thoughts: Orchestra D107 - basically the third row but it felt like the front as there was an aisle directly in front of you that was used in the show. It’s also directly beside the spot where Celine makes her initial entrance. I got so much interaction from Celine in which at one point she sat on my lap and caressed my face!
Favorite Moment: The encore of MHWGO at the end of the show
Notable Mentions: Marcus Antonio and Anne Fraser Thomas were the absolute standouts for me in this show!
Stagedoor Experience: I highly debated stagedooring this show, to which I ultimately did but it wasn’t my favorite. I am really shy and the whole stagedoor was basically where the balounge was downstairs and it was mostly friends of the actors having their post show mingle with the cast. I was super shy to approach Dee and Lindsay. I ultimately decided not to interact unless they approached me, but was able to get Michael Williams to sign my poster and my program. Super nice dude and took the time to talk to me!
Other notes: It was a trek to get to the Daryl Roth from Sweeney. I didn't do any research to where it was but was a little surprised to find out that it was all the way by Union Square Park.
Day 3
https://preview.redd.it/fwxuksn9rn1d1.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=100dfa12112e3e05f49b1a6b9499e0c6960cf34e
Chicago (evening)
Thoughts: I’ve seen Chicago three times (the international tour circa 2014) in Manila but was late to all three times which meant I missed All That Jazz each time. Glad to say I wasn’t late and was finally able to see it live! Robyn Hurder fits the role of Velma and I really love how much she made it her own!
Front Row thoughts: BB106 - You’re right in the heart of the action. The stage was low enough that I didn’t have to tilt my neck all too much. Also the legroom in the front row at the Ambassador is very ample.
Favorite Moment: All That Jazz but also Razzle Dazzle
Notable Mentions: Max Clayton and Michael Scirrotto - I’m just in awe of how beautiful these men are.. hehe
Stagedoor Experience: Bianca and Max Von Essen came out to sign. I was able to tell Bianca how she was my first Roxie Hart way back and how much of an honor it was for me to see her again and now on Broadway!
Other notes: N/A
Day 4
https://preview.redd.it/3licn1yarn1d1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=175781ed8fa1976a7eb2a59d61e79240376c9495
Back to the Future (evening)
Thoughts: Probably the most tech heavy show that I saw on this trip. I had seen the movie for the first time on my plane ride to the city a few days prior and I think it was a good idea to approach the musical with the context from the movie in mind. They had obviously altered a few of the notable parts of the plot to fit the stage adaptation better but I felt like it worked pretty well. The special effects on this show were absolutely amazing. Casey Likes has such a great stage presence.
Front Row thoughts: (Center Orch A111) Absolutely loved being front row and center for such a tech heavy show. However, the stage at the Winter Garden was probably one of the higher stages on this trip. The only thing that really bothered me about this show was the audience etiquette of the family behind me who were obviously translating the show for their youngest daughter without trying to be mindful of those around them as they were conversing in full on regular speaking voice and not hush hush. I glared at them midway through act 1 but to no avail so I had to bring in an usher to talk to them at intermission to which it did nothing as this continued throughout the whole second act. All that aside, ALSO SPOILERS AHEAD: When it came time to fly the car out for the finale, it was cool to be in such close proximity to the actual robotic arm/mechanism that flips the car upside down over the audience. I got to say hi to Casey and Roger as the car was slowly going upside down!
Favorite Moment: Something About That Boy was such a cute act 1 finale and something about that song is so catchy!
Notable Mentions: Hugh Coles was a standout! Will Branner was also on for Biff at this show!
Stagedoor Experience: Jonalyn, Aaron, Katie, Jelani, JJ, and Casey came out to sign!
Other notes: N/A
Day 5 - My Birthday!
https://preview.redd.it/m2k1dwacrn1d1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=139ec86d41f08401550819df654eb54d377960b0
Cabaret at The Kit Kat Club (matinee)
Thoughts: HOLY FUCK! I’ve never experienced such an immersive theater going experience. From the shots of peach schnapps as you enter the theater, to how much they’ve transformed the August Wilson, I was gagged. I want to preface this by saying that I went into this musical completely blind with only the most recent west end cast recording to kind of give me a rough idea of the show’s plot. No regrets there. I guess I came out of that show feeling a little underwhelmed. I literally remember verbally uttering the words “thats it?” during the finale blackout. However with all that aside, the cast was absolutely superb. Experiencing Bebe Neuwirth in the flesh was sort of an out of body experience.
Front (ish) Row thoughts: First row of the new West Mezzanine (Mezz 4 Row A Seat 220). Don’t get me wrong, these seats were absolutely perfect with just the right amount of being so close to the action, yet being at a good distance away from the stage to take everything in as a whole. However, I was reading a few reviews of the west mezz prior to going in and had heard about the bias of performing towards the “real” side of the house. Here are my thoughts around that - It's true - there was a clear bias to performing towards that side of the house. I felt as if they were really only looking at our side because they had to. Don’t get me wrong, I could see their effort at performing and catering to both sides of the house, but you end up feeling a little disconnected as most of the numbers do cater to the “real” side of the house. All that aside, it was still a great experience!
Favorite Moment: When Sally initially gets introduced, she literally walks through the first row of the west mezz. I was a little shookt as the space was a little tight but she gets through to the other side witn no problem! I got a cute little moment with her as she momentarily complimented my outfit as she puts her hand on my face to pinch my cheeks!
Notable Mentions: The ensemble was absolutely superb and took the immersiveness of the show to another level! I would definitely splurge on stage side seating the next time I go because you get so much more interaction from them!
Stagedoor Experience: Eddie was the only one who came out to sign.
Other notes: I purchased the Pineapple Room upgrade and it was worth it in my opinion. There was just a bit of confusion earlier on in the experience. I was under the assumption that the Pineapple Room was its own lounge, to which it is! However, the thing that I didn’t realize (and it wasn’t really clear in the emails that they send you) was that the actual experience starts once they open the doors to the actual house as it’s a room that's off to the side of the east mezz. That’s where they seat you and if you were going solo like me, you get paired up with another person going solo. I got to share a full bottle of champagne with another gentleman who only had a couple of glasses. So in actuality I had a whole bottle of champagne to myself! The attendants were super nice! The room had three private bathrooms which were a luxury! No lines at all to go to the restroom and they were clean! The whole room also acts as your coat check, as you can leave your belongings in there but they do ask you to take everything back with you after intermission. Getting to the east mezz from the west mezz is a trek so you do have to be mindful of that! The attendants also found out it was my birthday and once I was back in the lounge during intermission for desserts, I had found a cute little handwritten note as well as a free bar of toblerone from them. I can confidently say that this was one of the highlights of my trip!

Wicked (evening)
Thoughts: It was nice to see the show that started it all for me! Being in the Gershwin was just such a special moment for me on this trip. Wicked was my introduction to musical theater and seeing it for the first time on Broadway was truly something really special to me. This marked my 5th time seeing Wicked after seeing the international tour cast in Manila years ago with Suzie Mathers as Glinda and Jemma Rix as Elphaba. MKM and Alexandra Socha were such a delightful pair and it was nice to see their fresh take on the role!
Front Row thoughts: (ORCH BB110) Wicked’s front row was TIGHT. Probably the tightest front row seat on this trip.
Favorite Moment: There's just nothing compared to seeing defying gravity happen right in front of your eyes. No matter how many times I've seen the show, it always feels like my first time whenever we get to that point.
Notable Mentions: n/a
Stagedoor Experience: Jordan, Jake, and Brad came out to sign.
Other notes: As much as I love Wicked, I truly felt like I could’ve skipped this and seen The Outsiders instead, but there isn’t anything like saying you’ve seen Wicked on Broadway! Also, the last time I saw the show was in 2014, but I was a little taken aback by Thank Goodness and how the platform Glinda stands in was just a tad bit off the center. I think I remember it being much more centered the last time I saw it, but maybe that’s just my mind playing tricks on me.
Day 6
https://preview.redd.it/94u3ubeern1d1.jpg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=979a1bc61d642a8690288709c367c4deec2a5647
The Great Gatsby (matinee)
Thoughts: It still boggles my mind that the only Tony nom this show received was for costume design. This show probably had one of the more elaborate set pieces that really draws you in. All the principals were really on their game and I have nothing bad to say about them and this production! The only comical thing I can say was how they did Myrtle’s death. I feel like they could’ve been a little more creative than how it came to be as it was merely a flail and fall to the floor moment. I think this was the show that I had high expectations for and I was not let down!
Front Row thoughts: (Center Orch B108) The leg room was ample and the stage was at a good height that it didn’t cut off the performer’s feet. My only complaint was how tight the seats were at the Broadway Theatre.
Favorite Moment: New Money had me gagged!!
Notable Mentions: We started with a full company but Sarah Chase was out of the show after intermission with Ryah Nixon stepping in for her. It was such a great experience seeing two Myrtles in one show! Ryah was great and props to her for going on at the last minute!
Stagedoor Experience: All the principals except for John and Sara came out to sign. I believe a couple ensemble members also came out. Everyone at the stage door was also super respectful to the cast as well as the fans. I was half expecting it to go the other way around as the majority of the principals have such a huge following.
Other notes: Was not expecting the gunshot to be as loud as it was. Like I can usually prepare myself for it, but this one shookt me with how loud it echoed in the theater.
https://preview.redd.it/xbc46ghfrn1d1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0b224a8a7fc3df6cb64b028f1c491bf949983589
The Notebook (evening)
Thoughts: Where do I even begin with this show? I wasn’t expecting for me to love this show as much as I did prior to seeing it and all the mixed reviews that it got. This show easily ranks as number 1 for the entire trip. I came into this without knowing anything about The Notebook like I had an idea of what it was but I’ve never seen the movie nor read the book. My only source of knowledge beforehand was about 5 songs from the cast recording and even then I couldn’t make myself listen to the whole thing because I wanted to see it with no spoilers. I’m honestly glad that I went in blind because it took me on such a wild roller coaster ride that I want to ride over and over again. I wasn’t really expecting myself to cry but I was sobbing by the end of act one and was even more of a mess by the end of act two. I was moved in ways I didn’t expect and they timed the comedic moments perfectly to counteract a heavy scene that just occurred.
Front Row thoughts: (Center Orch B106) I was expecting to get wet from the rain scene but it wasn’t really that big of a deal! I loved being front row for this show for the sole reason that Joy Woods belts My Days literally like a foot away from you. The stage was at the perfect height that it didn’t require any neck breaking.
Favorite Moment: I Wanna Go Back was the first song that made me cry out of the blue. I didn’t expect it as it kind of just happened. Another notable moment was during the finale when everyone was on the walk-around part of the stage and Dorcas was directly in front of me while I uttered the words thank you as I sobbed my eyes out. She replied with another thank you and that meant a lot. I thanked her for that moment when I met her at the stage door!
Notable Mentions: John Cardoza! Holy fuck can that boy sing!
Stagedoor Experience: A few of the principals came out to sign as well as the majority of the ensemble. It was such an honor for Mary Ann to come out and sign.
Other notes: I need it to tour already because I would pay good money to see it again live! I have no words to describe how much I’ve fallen in love with this show. I’m kind of just at a loss for words with how much this has moved me.
Day 7
https://preview.redd.it/83btcjzgrn1d1.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f4ccc6d4f98d2e95869838ca8011816186b1bef5
& Juliet (evening)
Thoughts: Beautiful used to be my favorite jukebox musical, but this is now number one! Very pop-y as expected but the songs worked so well and just intertwined with the plot seamlessly. This performance was also Oliver Tompsett’s broadway debut! The energy in the house was electric and his first entrance was one hell of a moment!
Front Row thoughts: (Orch A108) I wasn’t expecting to say this, but this show probably had the best front row. I’ve heard of reviews detailing how high and close the stage was to this front row, but it worked in my favor due to my height as I was eye level with the stage. The seats were roomy and the leg room was ample. The only downside was some of the props hindering your view of the stage during two numbers in the show. That wasn’t a big deal and was honestly not a problem.
Favorite Moment: Roar gave me goosebumps but also That’s the Way It Is!
Notable Mentions: Literally e v e r y o n e
Stagedoor Experience: All the principals came out except for Ben and Betsy. Almost everyone in the ensemble also signed!
Other notes: Seeing those costumes up close was breathtaking. So much attention to details! Everyone in this show also smelled so good. Obviously being that close, you're able to smell fragrances but I'd just like to say that Betsy Wolfe smells like eucalyptus and mint which I think fits her personality! Hope that's not too weird..

2024.05.20 22:44 Hearthstoned666 They abuse you and expect you to adapt, and not complain or set a boundary.

They don't want you to establish boundaries. They won't compromise when they talk to you.
Here's what happened: I'm designing a piece of furniture that's new. I communicated every aspect of the design, and my dad decided to use 3d CAD type software to model the entire desk before we even discuss the remaining details. So I was fairly grateful for this 3d model, except.... The man insists that we do not talk about the furniture, unless we go to his desk and open the 3d model and very slowly, wait for him to select the pieces on the screen, so he can point with his finger while talking.
So I said "I'm just pacing a little bit next to your desk, waiting for you to select the pieces, or whatever. I haven't gone anywhere. I'm still here. I haven't SAID ANYTHING. I'm just waiting for you. He said "stand here". I said , "Listen, I'm not a puppet. You're not ready, so I'm pacing. I'm allowed to move around a little bit while we're talking. Don't treat me like a puppet on strings. Don't tell me where to stand all the time, and don't tell me that I'm not allowed to pace while waiting."
The man SNAPPED... COMPLETELY LOST HIS SHIT. Because I had told him I am not a puppet.
He refuses to talk to me now (narcissistic withdrawal) And that's his way of punishing me for not being a puppet.
I started to walk away because he's now saying "we're done. I'm not doing this. I might delete the model and abandon this project. I can't take this from you" ... .THESE SICK BASTARDS DONT EVEN REALIZE THEY COMPLETELY 180 DEGREES TWISTED THE TRUTH, INTO A PERSONAL ATTACK TO HURT ME.
So I was walking away, and he MADE ME STOP AND WAIT to bitch and moan and hear his side of this story... before I could walk waway.. STILL. STILLL telling me that I can't walk away, but we're done. simultaneously
EDIT - We've all spent 4 decades walking on eggshells, trying to avoid the man, trying to do EVERYTHING HIS WAY so that there won't be a problem. Even biting our lip when he talks, so it will be over sooner. Let him abuse us so that we don't have to find out what's behind his curtain. So then 4 decades later, I FINALLY DECIDED TO SET SOME BOUNDARIES.. AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW... HE CANT HANDLE IT. HE FEELS LIKE IM HURTING HIM!! 40 years of being abused... and THE ONLY REASON IM SETTING BOUNDARIES IS THAT HE IS TOO OLD AND TOO SLOW TO HURT ME. PREVIOUSLY EVERYBODY WAS SCARED BECAUSE HE DOESNT JUST ARGUE, HE VIOLENTLY CLENCHES HIS FISTS AND SHAKES THEM WHILE TALKING. THEN HE TAKES ZEERROOOO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT INTIMIDATION.
Today I said "I'm not scared. I'm not going to be intimidated. Go ahead and shake those fists violently at me. But I'm not self-censoring."
EDIT2 - I actually developed a sixth sense, on those eggshells. I started seeing the future, so that I could avoid arguments with the man. I even got them to all admit it. They REMEMEBER that I could feel ungrounded electrical wires from 30 feet away. The REMEMBER I can fuck with electronics through a wall They remember that I tried to stop 3 murders. And so the funny part is - I COULD BE A NARC. ID BEA DAMNED GOOD ONE. EXCEPT. Super powers don't matter. In his eyes, I'll always be a liar. Even though he admits he remembers what I do. THIS BOILS DOWN TO ONE THING - THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE SPECIAL PERSON IN THIS HOUSE. FUCK YOUR PRECOGNITION
EDIT 3 - You'll walk away feeling bad, all the time. They will sabotage everything, and constantly try to tell you what you're doing wrong. I'm not gonna do it any more. I'm walking away knowing that I just got abused again. DONT LET THEM MAKE YOU FEEL WRONG ALL THE TIME. THATS SICK. THEIR EYES ARE BROKEN, NOT YOU.

2024.05.20 18:59 buyperman Frequent BSOD errors (windows and bios reinstall didn't help)

Hello guys, this problem has been a huge pain in the ass for me for a few months. I've even tried to take my gaming laptop to an informatician. He reinstalled windows and bios, got me the newest drivers, did benchmarks and even played some games. He said that there were no errors and everything was fine ;D. The BSODS' frequency is not consistent: it can happen after a few hours of gaming or two times in a row, only during watching movies and not playing games. I honestly have no idea what this is, maybe you do?
Here is the most recent and most frequent bsod:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a) An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high.

2024.05.20 16:46 Spiritual-Water-6590 Delta Lake MERGE INTO will hang Spark session without result (10000 columns)

I am experimenting with Delta Lake as the primary storage solution for my tabular data, which is updated daily. I tried to mimic the basic use case - an existing target table is updated by the new data that can change existing data, i.e. upserts. I am using a MERGE INTO operation, where the target table is my Delta table and the table with updates is simply saved as a Parquet file.
My tables are special in the number of columns - there are up to 10000 columns, most of them are binary. One column contains an identifier of a row, represented as a string hash, which is used in the matching condition of the merge operation.
I am experimenting with a small main table having 5000 rows, which is 10 MB of one Parquet file on disk and the same table, but stored as a plain Parquet, which has several small 3.5 MB files.
My merge operation takes extremely long, probably stuck without any computation. What am I missing? I haven't tried partitioning since the size of the whole table is just 10 MB. I expected this operation to be extremely fast even in the case of non-optimized tables.
I will appreciate your help, thank you!
Spark version: 3.5.1. Delta Lake (delta-spark) version: 3.1.0. Instance: r5n.16xlarge
The only output that I get is

24/05/20 14:18:21 WARN DAGScheduler: Broadcasting large task binary with size 1094.0 KiB 24/05/20 14:18:21 WARN DAGScheduler: Broadcasting large task binary with size 1097.6 KiB

Then the Spark session hangs and does nothing. The code does not finish.
Steps to reproduce:
import pyspark.sql.functions as F from pyspark.sql import SparkSession from delta import * def get_spark(): builder = SparkSession.builder.master("local[4]").appName('SparkDelta') \ .config("spark.sql.extensions", "io.delta.sql.DeltaSparkSessionExtension") \ .config("spark.sql.catalog.spark_catalog", "org.apache.spark.sql.delta.catalog.DeltaCatalog") \ .config("spark.driver.memory", "32g") \ .config("spark.jars.packages", "io.delta:delta-spark_2.12:3.1.0," "io.delta:delta-storage:3.1.0") \ spark = builder.getOrCreate() return spark spark = get_spark() ### GENERATE SOME FAKE DATA import pandas as pd import numpy as np num_rows = 5000 num_cols = 10000 array = np.random.rand(num_rows, num_cols) df = pd.DataFrame(array) df = df.reset_index() df.to_csv('features.csv') ### DATA TO DELTA LAKE TABLE df_spark = spark.read.format('csv').load('features.csv') df_spark.write.format('delta').mode("overwrite").save('deltalake_features') # Creating data to merge - just first 100 rows df_slice = df.iloc[:100, 0:2] df_slice.to_csv('features_slice_100.csv') df_spark_slice = spark.read.format('csv').load('features_slice_100.csv') ### MERGE INTO code target_delta_table = DeltaTable.forPath(spark, 'deltalake_features') df_updates = df_spark_slice df_target = target_delta_table.toDF() ( target_delta_table.alias('target') .merge( df_updates.alias('updates'), ( (F.col('target._c1') == F.col('updates._c1')) ) ) .whenMatchedUpdate(set={ '_c2': F.lit(42) }) .execute() )

Observed results

The Spark session hangs for no reason.
Expected results
I expect the merge to finish successfully.
Further details
If I do a simple inner join, the operation takes just 1 minute to complete, so I'd like to see the same speed here.
Environment information
* Delta Lake version: 3.1.0 * Spark version: 3.5.1 * Scala version: 2.12.18

2024.05.20 16:01 Tokyono [Reality TV/Carpentry] The Chop: How a woodworking show got axed after one episode because of a contestant's tattoos

This is my first Hobby Drama post in 8 months!. I am back with some more modern hobby drama! Usually, I write historical stuff, but wanted to change it up a bit :) Oh and prepare for lots and lots of carpentry puns!

Wood you look at that: Reality TV in the UK

When you think of reality tv, the words “trashy”, “exploitative”, “rigged”, usually come to mind. However, in the UK, another word comes to mind…
“Cozy”.
What do I mean by this?
Shows like the Great British Bake Off (GBBO), Antiques Roadshow, Sort Your Life Out With Stacey Solomon, Great Pottery Throwdown, etc. Shows that have a calm, relaxed, atmosphere, with a genial host, where the contestants are (for the most part) kind and cordial towards one another. However, as wholesome as these shows appear on the surface, they have their fair share of controversies. Especially the GBBO, which has a whole section on Wikipedia about its numerous controversies. Everything from issues with product placement, to contestant favouritism, to unfair elimination, production woes, leak of a winner, and even accusations of “racism” aimed at its “Nationally themed weeks” (a post for another time).
All of these issues pale in comparison to the controversy I am going to cover today. Also, unlike the show I am going to discuss, the GBBO has survived every controversy that plagued it. After 13 seasons, it is still running strong.

Chop Chop Chop: What is the Chop?

Announced in June 2020, The Chop: Britain’s Top Woodworker, was a show unsurprisingly about carpentry. It was originally planned to air on the Sky History channel. Sky is a British broadcaster.
Here is the full description:
Hosted by comedian Lee Mack, TV Presenter Rick Edwards and Master Carpenter William Hardie, The Chop: Britain’s Top Woodworker sees 10 of the country’s finest carpenters gather in Epping Forest to whittle, carve and chop their way to the final, to see who will be crowned Britain’s Top Woodworker and the chance to stage their own personal exhibition at the prestigious William Morris Gallery in London.
Master Carpenter William Hardie oversees the construction of a grand and spectacular cabin in the woods, adding a new room every week, each on a different historical theme, including Nelson’s cabin on HMS Victory, a Victorian pub, a Gothic bedroom, a Georgian hunting lodge, and a 1960s’ Mad Men-inspired lounge.
It followed a standard reality show format. Every week, someone wood be eliminated until a clear winner emerged. Viewers had a lot to look forewood to. Hopefully the show would be able to carve out its own niche. Okay, enough would puns. I know you’re all on-board.
Like most British reality tv shows, The Chop had a comfortable atmosphere, with friendly presenters that would engage in ribbing with one another and the contestants. Here are some early trailers for the show: one and two. The show was filmed pre-covid lockdown.
Mack, 52, said: “It’s quite ironic that everything was filmed pre-lockdown and pre-Covid and yet most of the contestants spend most of the time with a mask on, because it’s woodwork.
“So people will watch it and go: ‘Well they’re obeying the rules but Rick and Will aren’t’, but actually it was filmed a long time ago – this time last year.”
So, the winner was set in wood, long before the first episode aired. If you want to know more about the contestants, I found their official show biographies.
The focus of this writeup will be a guy named Darren:
Name: Darren
Age: 40
From: Bristol
Occupation: CarpenteJoiner
Background: Darren has been working in woodwork since he left school, he loves the variety that each day brings. Darren has two children and loves building them wooden items. His favourites were special beds and wardrobes he made for his children which included LED lights.

Meet Darren: Aka “The Woodsman”, Aka “the-Bloke-With-All-The-Tattoos”.

Early on, out of all the contestants, Darren was hyped up as a potential audience favourite:
It remains to be seen which of the contestants, seven men and three women, will become the viewers’ favourite, although Darren, a furniture maker from Bristol, is an early frontrunner.
Nicknamed ‘The Woodman’, his entire face is covered in tattoos and he’s not averse to making controversial statements.
‘He’s quite a character,’ says Lee. ‘We met him again at a photo shoot recently and he’d had more tattoos etched on top of his other tattoos, which I thought showed an incredible level of commitment to the cause.’
His tattoos became a key part of his marketing for the show. This was reflected in his character trailers, as well as in interviews about the show.
Darren is probably one of the show’s most striking characters, due to the fact he is very heavily tattooed – even on his head and face.
He started having his head and face tattooed around 10 years ago.
“I had other tattoos already,” he said.
“But about 10 years ago I saw someone with facial tattoos and started to work with my tattooist on my look.
“I have my daughter on the back of my head and my son on my cheek.
“When some people first meet me they are a bit shocked, admittedly.
“But they soon warm to me after a few minutes.
“Some people ask for selfies with me. I’ve never had a negative reaction to my tattoos. They are just me.”
Darren says his appearance on the show, since the trailers have gone out, has prompted people to recognise him.
“I’ve already been stopped by people who have seen the adverts.
“No one went on the show to become famous.
“But hopefully it will come across on the show that I’m a bit of a character.
There was another difference between Darren and the other contestants: he had prior experience with reality tv.
In 2007, Darren (without any tattoos) starred in “Dumped”, a show in which 11 contestants lived in a garbage dump for three weeks, in a shelter they constructed from discarded rubbish.
Darren quit after three days. He said he did it because he didn’t believe in the aims of the show
Not all the participants were convinced. Darren Lumsden, 27, owns four cars, only recycles because his rubbish would not be taken away otherwise, and throws away his pants and socks at the end of every day. He left the dump on day three. "With me it's a bit like the smoking ban – I'll only be green if I'm forced to be." Lumsden also says rumours that some local authorities only recycle half of what goes into their green bins reduce the incentive.
He also told fellow contestants: “I don't believe that what we are going to do is going to achieve anything. If I don't believe in it I won't be doing any good for myself or other people.”.
Well, he certainly achieved something with his next reality tv appearance…

On the chopping block. The controversy

The first episode of The Chop aired on October 15, 2020. Shortly afterwards, some viewers noticed certain...things about Darren’s tattoos. Certain numbers and symbols…were linked to white supremacy.
“Darren appears to have these two on his face 88 = HH = Heil Hitler 23/16 = WP = White Supremacy There's also: 18 = AH = Adolf Hitler 1488: a reference to the so-called 14 words, coined by white supremacist terrorist David Lane.”
Darren also had a sig rune on his nose…the SS symbol used by the Nazis.
Sky History was criticised by historians and antisemitism groups.
After the trailer for the programme was aired, historian Dr Elizabeth Boyle from Maynooth University in Ireland said she had seen "at least five recognised Nazi/white power tattoos".
The Campaign Against Antisemitism group also criticised Sky History, saying it had made "a terrible mistake" by including a contestant "adorned with what appear to be neo-Nazi tattoos without providing serious evidence to show that the tattoos mean something other than how they appear".
"These tattoos will be plainly visible to viewers on the show, including younger viewers, which is unacceptable," it said.
"If Sky History is indeed 'intolerant of racism' as it claims, then it must urgently provide a credible clarification or remove the contestant from the programme."
They were quick to respond, and initially defended Darren:
"Darren’s tattoos denote significant events in his life and have no political or ideological meaning whatsoever.
"Amongst the various numerical tattoos on his body, 1988 is the year of his father’s death.
“The production team carried out extensive background checks on all the woodworkers taking part in the show, that confirmed Darren has no affiliations or links to racist groups, views or comments.
“Sky History is intolerant of racism and all forms of hatred and any use of symbols or numbers is entirely incidental and not meant to cause harm or offence.”
“While we further investigate the nature, and meaning, of Darren’s tattoos, we have removed the video featuring him from our social media pages, and will not be broadcasting any episodes of The Chop: Britain’s Top Woodworker until we have concluded that investigation,” the statement said.
The media contacted Darren’s old boss, who had some interesting things to say about his former employee:
Logically also contacted Jon Hyams, a former employer of Darren’s who runs a company in Bristol building staircases. Jon said that Darren, who worked for him in 2008, was a “good kiddy,” with no ties to the far right that he could remember, though he thought he had “gone off the rails a bit” since then. He also said that Darren was always very keen to become famous and had participated in an earlier reality TV show on Channel 4. Darren was partial to a tall tale or a bit of exaggeration, according to Jon, who said that the comment about his dad’s death should be “taken with a large pinch of salt”.
Jon was right. Darren was a liar.

The aftermath. If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does anyone actually care?

It took the Daily Mail (a notorious rag) less than a day to track down Darren’s father and interview him:
The father of Sky History's The Chop contestant Darren Lumsden today declared 'I'm alive' after the channel claimed he was dead to defend his son’s Nazi-style tattoos.
But today his 66-year-old parent revealed he was very much alive - and living in a smart three-storey house in Bristol, not far from his carpenter son.
Trevor told MailOnline: 'I'm here aren't I?' I'm alive and kicking so I'm not dead yet.'
Darren's father has short term memory loss after a serious motorbike crash more than 30 years ago.
He lives in a shared house and has support workers popping in to help every day.
The father added: 'I haven't seen Darren for some years, I didn't know he had tattoos over his face or that he was going to be on TV.
'But if they are saying I'm dead I'd like them to know I'm not.'
Trevor, originally from Stockton-on-Tees had two sons, Darren with his former wife Gail and Wayne from another relationship.
His support worker, who didn't want to be named, said: 'I've never seen either of them and I've been looking after him for 10 years.
'Trevor has short term memory loss after a brain injury in a motorbike accident but he remembers his two sons.
'He's a lovely man and very much alive.'
Sky History today thanked MailOnline for highlighting The Chop contestant Darren Lumsden's apparent lie about the origin of his controversial tattoos.
Woah. It seems Darren is kind of an asshole.
Following this 💣, Sky History quickly cancelled the show and shelved the rest of the episodes. The Chop had been…well, chopped.
Thankfully, for carpentry fans everywhere, it didn’t take long for another woodworking show to fill the void left by The Chop’s abrupt cancellation. Handmade: Britain's Best Woodworker started airing in 2021. Its third season aired in 2023.
And that’s all I have to say about The Chop.
(I might write about The Great British Bake Off next!)
