2024.06.01 13:36 Mammoth_Effort592 Absurd Claims
So we're honestly supposed to believe that a relatively unknown YouTuber who is a former addiction counselor and his office assistant husband are debt free and flush with cash even though he has no trust fund and gets no help from his dad? Literally how?
These 2 come back from a $10,000 vacation and immediately order $150 worth of Cheesecake Factory when they get home and then Peedur logs on Amazon that night and blows $400 on candles, plastic mugs and graphic novels. I've never heard him once talk about inflation or having to cut back on spending due to rising prices. Unless you're very wealthy (and they're not) you need to budget in order to stay out of debt. Also, the condo...if you have money then why don't you update it? Why don't you fix the bathroom?
The lying is getting exhausting. Their finances are perfect, they have no debt, no one has ever helped him, he did it all on his own, they have an amazing marriage, Alex is with him for his supermodel good looks and magnetic personality, all his neighbors love him, his life is perfect except when the stalkers and harassers occasionally make it a living hell, it's the life of his wildest dreams.

I banked the fire and stared into the golden eyes of Beatale before I crept into my makeshift tent.
I still had my auric vision running and couldn’t help but notice the thin silver cord that ran from me to Horse. Firming up my aura, I reached out with my hand and grabbed it. I could feel the nearly imperceptible vibration between my fingers as I used my mind to probe at the thread. I could feel a bright spark of intellect, a light at the end of a tunnel. Pushing with my mind, I slid down the thread until the spark grew larger and eventually filled my inner vision with a hazy white light. Horsey thoughts nudged at me curiously.
I slid into the haze and immediately lost all sense of direction. If it wasn’t for the silver thread, I’d have no idea how to exit this shifting white fog. Horsey thoughts got stronger as I followed the thread while the haze thinned and cleared to reveal an endless prairie of green grass. I found myself standing before a naked man wearing a horse mask and I stared in shock. It was obviously me wearing a cheap costume horse mask — there was no mistaking my tattoos.
“What did you expect?” Horse neighed at me. “I am you and you are me and we are all together. Goo goo ga joob.”
Horse made a shooing motion with his hands and I accelerated backwards through the white haze and slammed into my own body with a gasp. I stared at the tarp overhead for a long minute, processing this new revelation. Horse was a part of me, a piece of my spirit. Whatever psychic stuff I did with that silver cord lead me into a house of mirrors where I got to look at myself pretending to be a horse. I can’t even deal with that right now.
Rolling into my blankets, I dropped off to sleep.

I banished the pop-up and looked around. I knew I was asleep, but everything was just as real as when I was awake. I was breathing, I could feel the floor under my feet, and if it weren’t for the pop-up, I would have sworn I had been teleported. The room I was in resembled an oversized luxury prison cell, maybe a thirty foot cube. No windows. Rough stone walls with thick mortar. Large brass wall sconces were set directly into the stone and suffused the room with a warm, golden light provided by glowing rocks. The stone floor had colourful Persian rugs tastefully placed. A high plaster ceiling was painted with a rendition of Michelangelo’s ‘Creation of Adam’, depicting me as both Adam and God.
There was a comfy sofa in front of a large screen television that hung from one wall and an ornate grandfather clock ticked loudly in the corner. It was currently 10:08 PM. Another wall was a floor to ceiling bookshelf, stuffed with books of varying sizes. The third wall was covered with pictures and I could see at a glance that they were images from my life. The fourth wall had a thick riveted steel door on the right side, a full sized mirror on the left, and a computer workstation in the middle.
The picture wall was my first target. A few were quite large, nearly life sized, while others were tiny prints no larger than the palm of my hand. Scenes of my life were displayed in each one. The largest was me riding Horse with a shit-scared expression, shooting at a pack of wolves. Others were smaller, each with different frames. Some ornate gold or silver, others plain wood, a few wrapped in briars or barbed wire. Nanny Ramsey holding me as a young child. My dog Jean with a red ball in his mouth. My parents, screaming at me. I turned my attention to the books. Books are safe. Books don’t judge you.
The sweet, musty scent of a used book store filled my nostrils as I drew close to the honey coloured shelves. Hundreds of volumes filled the wall from floor to ceiling, with a ladder that could be rolled along a rail to access the top. I smiled at the sight. I had always wanted a library like this. I pulled a book at random and read the title, “Confused Fantasies about Joseph Harris, part XXIV of the Middle School Years”.
I slid the book back onto the shelf. Let’s see what’s on TV.
The remote was a slim, futuristic looking affair with a minimum of buttons. I pointed it at the television and moments later the huge screen came to life and presented me with a simple menu for movies, divided into six categories: Happy, Surprised, Afraid, Disgusted, Angry, and Sad. I scrolled through the offerings for a minute, reading the titles and reviews about the movies of my life. It really bothered me that there were so few selections in the Happy section.
The number of Sad movies increased by one.
I walked over to the mirror and noticed there was a small sticky note pasted to it. “Astral Realm. Experienced users only.” I shoved the note in my pocket and stared at my image. Sturdy black boots, black denim jeans and shirt with mother-of-pearl buttons, deep brown gun belt slung at my hip, red bandanna and black felt hat. All I needed was a pencil moustache and I would look like the stereotypical villain in any spaghetti western. At that very moment I decided to grow out a goatee. I’d rather be mistaken for a bad guy than a victim.
So how does this astral realm thing work?
The mirror appeared to be nothing more than a mirror. It was cold, smooth glass surrounded by a wrought iron frame, and reflected my image. I didn’t necessarily want to go walking into danger, but I wanted to know how it worked. I pushed and prodded the glass in frustration until I noticed my image grinning at me. I jumped back in surprise and it doubled over in silent laughter.
“Hilarious, dude. You got me,” I huffed. “So how do I get in?”
My mirror-self tipped his hat and stepped to side.
I reached up to the mirror again and my hand passed through, vanishing as if cut off. Okay, just a quick peek and we’ll explore the rest of the room. I stepped through and the world shifted around me. I was standing back at the campsite. My body was insubstantial as a ghost and the tarp was a wisp of substance running straight through me. Non living things don’t seem to have much presence in this realm. Glancing down, I saw my sleeping body rolled up in the blankets, a thin silver thread running from it to me, and another thread running to Horse.
Looking around, I surveyed the campsite. My astral vision seemed to be on and had an unlimited range. I could see the life all around me, the distant forest was a sea of greenish-gold, grasses and brush nearby glowed with spectral light. Tiny ghost insects scurried while ghost mice nibbled at whatever ghost mice nibble on. Ghost seeds and ghost insects, I suppose. I turned my attention overhead and gaped at the sight of a monstrous serpentine spirit flying through the inky void. I dropped back through the tent and rolled inside my body. That was plenty enough for now.
I rolled through the mirror and landed flat on my back, staring at the fresco on the ceiling. Vinnie-God winked at me and Vinnie-Adam grinned. Climbing to my knees, I brushed non-existent dust from my trousers and watched mirror-me doubled over in soundless laughter.
“Hey, laughing-boy!” I yelled at him. “You’re like the guardian or something, right? You got it covered?”
Mirror-me stood and saluted with a smile, then gave me two thumbs up. A moment later, his face took on a serious expression and he wriggled his right hand in the ‘maybe’ motion. Then he pointed at me, tapped his wrist, and then a finger to his head.
It all depends on how fast I learn stuff, I guess.
Two thumbs up and a winning smile reflected back to me.
A large cork board was mounted to the wall over the computer and a small note was pinned to it. “Note to self: Don’t fuck with the Elvish womens.”
The computer screen featured a screensaver of me as Vitruvian Man doing callisthenics over the words ‘HumanOS’. I tapped the spacebar and was rewarded with the sound of powerful fans kicking to life as the computer emerged from sleep mode and prompted me for a password. Should I assume it’s the same as the password on the computer I pawned in my previous life?
Password: *******esi
I was rewarded with a sweet R&M desktop and a couple of icons. System, NeuralNet, My-Tunes, My-Movies, My-Office.
System was just what I expected, lots of .dna files and other confusing scariness that allowed me to tweak my physical body and mental state. My-Tunes was a collection of every song I’d ever heard and My-Movies was a collection of every movie I’d ever seen. Not that I’m complaining, but it would have been nice to have “My-Games” so I could play RDR. My-Office was a clone of the popular software by a similar name. I have no idea what I’ll ever need a spreadsheet for in this world.
NuralNet opened up a search engine called Me-Seeks, featuring a familiar blue guy.
I typed in “beer” and several thousand results were displayed, anything I’d ever read, heard, or watched about beer, including how to make it. This right here made the price of admission totally worth it, access to an exact copy of everything I’d ever read, and I was a voracious reader. Sadly, most of the stuff I read was futurology — solar panels, electronics, biotech advancements, quantum computing. The material for steam engines, blacksmithing, farming and the like, were slim pickings. That’s okay though, I could still reproduce the Gutenberg press, the cotton gin, simple internal combustion engines, and basic batteries along with some sketchy knowledge of metal alloys, acids, bases, and other things I had read over the years. All that wasted time watching “How Things Work” was finally going to pay off. I copied a few likely money makers to My-Office, saved the file, and exported to my Notes, just in case they didn’t exist on Aerth.
A popup covered the screen.

Apparently I could upgrade myself, which reduced the cost of using my Utilities while providing other minor benefits. My Utilities would level up as I used them, which would increase their battery cost, so if I didn’t keep pace with an update to the OS they could become prohibitively expensive to operate.
Stupid pay-to-win world.
So, do I pay 2000 credits for version 2.0 or 5000 credits for version 3.0?
I selected version 3.0 and klicked [Install]. After watching it download the update, it popped up another screen that asked if I wanted to update now, or wait until Midnight for the mandatory update.
I selected [No] just as the grandfather clock chimed 10:30 PM. I wondered if time ran slower in here, because it seemed like I had spent a lot more time on the computer than 15 minutes. Walking over to the imposing steel door, I noticed a bronze key with a thin chain in the lock. There was another sticky note on the door. “Subconscious. Please keep the key with you at all times.”
That’s not scary at all, is it?
I unlocked the door with a loud clunk and pulled it open to reveal a bedroom straight out of some royal castle. I could tell immediately that it had seen better days. The tapestries on the wall were frayed and fading. The canopy over the bed had a few holes in it. A thin layer of dust covered the mantle of a small fireplace set into the wall. There was a window letting in bright sunlight and I moved over to look outside.
I was on the third floor of a keep surrounded by the walls and turrets of a modest castle. A castle that had fallen into serious disrepair. Did this represent the state of my inner mind? One tower was shattered and the curtain wall under it damaged. The lower bailey was full of litter. I could see a few soldiers walking around the allure, keeping watch.
I have people in my subconscious?
Someone behind me cleared their throat.
Whirling, I discovered a familiar old man standing in the door of the bedroom. What was left of his hair formed a white halo around his head, his face was unshaven and covered with several days of growth. He was dressed like a poor and tattered manservant, but carried himself with a dignified air.
“Woodhouse?”
“It’s nice to see the master at home,” He said with a proper English accent. “There are many matters that require the master’s attention.”
“Uh, sure,” I said, hanging the key around my neck and tucking it in my shirt. “And who are you again?”
“Your personal manservant, of course” he said with a slight bow. Walking over to the steel door, he pulled it closed and it locked with a solid thunk. “Master should always keep his inner sanctum closed. One never knows if something nasty will creep in.”
“Thank you, uh, Woodhouse. I’ll remember that,” I said, rubbing the back of my neck. “So what needs tending and how do things work around here?”
He smiled and beckoned me with a white gloved hand. “If master would be so kind as to follow me, I’ll introduce him to the staff and explain the duties and obligations of his domain.”
I’m 99.9% certain that everyone here is just me wearing a mask, so I shrugged and followed Woodhouse out of the bedroom and into the rest of my subconscious.
Five minutes later I was on the ground floor and seated on a shabby throne with the cast of a popular —and probably very copyright protected— animation in front of me. Woodhouse was the head butler and my personal manservant. Pam was the cook and demanded that I start importing sugar and alcohol before she was shushed by Woodhouse. Carol was a maid. Krieger was chancellor and Cyril was the steward. Archer and Lana were in charge of security. Ray was the marshal in charge of everything from the stables to the blacksmith.
I stared in disbelief at the motley crew kneeling in front of me. No wonder my inner mind was in such shambles. I was overcome with an irrational sense of anger at myself.
“Arright, listen up,” I barked, my voice echoing around the room. “I swear to God that I will fire every single one of you and hire circus clowns to replace you if you keep fucking things up. No joke. Circus clowns, got it?”
I ran a hand over my face as Ray pissed himself. “The only reason I’m not putting a boot in your asses right now is because I realise that you’re aspects of me, and the people you represent are pretty damn good at their jobs when they give enough of a shit to actually do them. As a team, you’re dysfunctionally fantastic and always seem to come out ahead no matter the odds.”
Heaving a sigh, I continued. “Things have changed and I need to get my shit together. I’m going to need every one of you to pull your weight and help me help you. Get back to your duties, I’ll meet you one on one later.”
My subconscious caretakers scurried out of the room.
“I’ll have one of the maids tend to the piss,” Woodhouse assured me.
“Never mind that,” I snapped. “I honestly had no idea my mind was such a shit show. I’m very disappointed in myself.” I pictured the Angry, Sad, and Disgusted counters on my personal movies clicking up. “Show me what needs to be done and let’s get started.”
During Woodhouse’s walking tour, everything clicked into place. This was some altered version of Bodiam castle, a location that was on my bucket list of places to visit. The royal council room, located behind the throne room, contained a “living” tapestry on the wall that showed the castle and surrounding land in real time. The castle was located in the middle of a small lake, and a single wood bridge led to the mainland. A small town surrounded the lake and a wall encircled the town. Outside the wall, the land was an irregular patchwork of forest and field, with a stinking swamp to the south. The entire “kingdom” was maybe ten miles across, surrounded by impassable mountains with innumerable creeks that fed the lake which drained into the southern swamp.
“Zombies are the problem, sir.” Woodhouse said, as I surveyed the living tapestry of my mental domain.
“Zombies?” I prompted.
“Yes sir, Zombies” Woodhouse continued. “Nasty bitey things that come in from the mountains and harass the peasants. They’ve gotten especially worse over the last few months. The soldiers do what they can, but they seem to have lost all motivation. Probably because they haven’t been paid.”
“And who pays them?”
“Typically chancellor Krieger is in charge of financial matters, although Steward Figgis has taken over the duty, sir.”
“Then let’s make Figgis our first stop.”
“Very good, sir.”
The office of the steward was run by Cyril Figgis, who managed the kingdom in my absence. It was overflowing with paperwork and charts, books and scrolls piled high on every flat surface. Cyril was desperately attempting to tidy things when Woodhouse and I walked in.
“Yo..you..your majesty,” Cyril stuttered, bowing low. Scrolls fell from his overloaded arms, spilling across the floor. He dropped to his knees and scrambled to gather them up. “I didn’t expect you to visit so soon. Please forgive the mess, housekeeping has been slacking…”
This was the guy who ran things while I was conscious.
“Shut up, Cyril” I said. “You’re responsible for everything in this office. That includes keeping it organised and tidy.”
“Y..yes milord.”
“It’s my understanding that you’re in charge of making sure everyone gets paid. So why aren’t we paying people?” I asked.
“We’re nearly out of Fuks, your majesty. I’ve been saving them for emergencies.”
“Fucks?”
“Fuks,” Cyril explained, pushing a pile of books off a large chest and opening it. Reaching inside he pulled out two small bags and emptied them on top of his cluttered desk. “Gold and Silver Fuks, the currency of the kingdom. I can’t maintain the kingdom when I have no Fuks to give.”
Behold the subconscious kingdom of Vincent J. Carter, it runs on Fuks.
“So how do I get more fuks?” I asked, examining one of the coins. It had an image of me on one side and symbol on the other that could be interpreted as “peace among worlds”.
“You kill the zombies, your majesty.”
Of course I do.
Woodhouse and I left Cyril’s office and headed towards the office of the chancellor where Krieger worked. It seemed that Cyril took over financial matters when Krieger became erratic and proposed luring all the zombies into the city and setting it on fire. Not sure how that corresponds to my own self-destructive behaviour, but I’ve had some dark thoughts over the last couple of months and I’m sure they’re reflected here.
Krieger’s office was much neater in comparison to Cyril’s, but it wasn’t by much. Shelves lined the walls and were filled with an array of questionable items, including a still snapping zombie head in a jar. While the office of the chancellor was supposed to be in charge of financial matters, it looked more like a dodgy rummage sale.
Krieger was launching sword blades at a pig carcass when we walked in.
“What exactly are you doing?” I asked, standing in the doorway.
“Hm? Oh, your majesty!” he said, turning around and bowing deeply. “I’m testing a new invention. It’s a spring loaded hilt that shoots sword blades. Very useful for our soldiers.”
“Stupidest idea ever,” I snapped. “I hate everything about it.”
“Okay,” Krieger said, tossing the hilt into a nearby pile of junk. “But don’t blame me when you need to shoot a sword at a zombie and don’t have one.”
“So why aren’t you managing the financial affairs? Collecting taxes, paying people, stuff like that?”
“Because the population has declined so much none of that matters?”
“What do you mean?”
“Wellll, the population represents things you care about,” Krieger said, going into lecture mode. “And the zombies and other monsters are real or imagined problems in your way. Since you don’t care about too many things the population has shrunk to just what’s needed to keep everything running on the bare minimum of fuks. And since you don’t seem to have any long or short term goals, there’s no need to kill off the zombies and get more fuks. Everything is fine just the way it is.”
“No, it’s not Krieger” I said, grinding my teeth. “My mind is in a shambles. It’s a joke. I want it fixed. No, I want it better than fixed. I want it improved.”
“Oh! I’ve got just the thing for that!” He said, digging around in his pockets, “It’s a spring-loaded hilt that shoots swords!”
Pam and Cheryl were hanging out a gallery window jeering at Archer and Lana sparring in the inner courtyard.
“What the hell are you doing!” I snapped
They whirled in surprise and then dropped into deep curtseys.
“Your majesty!”
I took a deep breath, trying to regain my centre. “Get to work cleaning this place up. Find a room, clean it, and move on to the next. Start with my bedroom, then the throne room and the council chamber, then everything else.”
Cheryl spoke up. “Can’t do it. We got no fuks to clean with.”
“You need fuks to clean?”
“Gotta buy stuff,” Pam said. “Cleaning supplies, food. You wanna eat, you’re gonna have to spend some fuks.”
“Talk to Cyril,” I ordered. “Tell him I said to get you supplied.”
They ran off in the direction of the stewards office.
I watched Archer and Lana bashing each other enthusiastically through the window.
Several minutes later the sparring couple stopped and bowed when Woodhouse and I stepped into the inner courtyard.
“Your majesty”
“My liege”
“Enough,” I said. “If you have enough energy to smash each other, you have enough energy to smash zombies. Tell me what I need to know so I can start gathering fuks.”
Archer shrugged and spoke first. “You just kill the zombies and other monsters. They drop fuks.”
“Anything special about the zombies?” I asked. “Are they fast? Do people get turned into zombies when bitten?”
“Nope,” Lana said, resting her wooden sword on her shoulder. “Most of them are slow shamblers and just need a good wack to the head to kill them.”
“Some are special,” Archer interjected. “Occasionally you’ll have some fast ones, or those that need holy water to kill. They’re just bad memories, figments of your personality that need to be eliminated. Some are worse than others.”
“The zombies are bad memories?” I asked, imagining all the bad memories that I had.
“Memories, thoughts, insecurities, metaphysical mumbo-jumbo,” Woodhouse supplied. “They are endless, but constant vigilance can keep them under control.”
“So let’s get started,” I said. “Lead the way.”
Lana and Archer lead me up to the parapet over the front gate where I looked over at the dozens of zombies milling about aimlessly in front of the entrance to my mind. Pulling out my gun, I began to pick them off, easy as shooting fish in a barrel. The crack of my spell pistol attracted more zombies and I dispatched them with ease until no more were left around the gate. As I fired each shot I could feel some sort of existential energy flowing from me, draining some hidden reserve.
“Gather up the Fuks,” I commanded. “And Lana?”
“Mi’lord?”
“There’s no excuse for this. From now on, I expect the walls to be clear of all zombies.”
“Yes mi’lord,” she said, giving me a small bow.
Turning to Archer, I shook my head. “You’re obviously my personal narcissism, so just try to stay out of Lana’s way, or better yet - try to kill more zombies than her. If you think you can.”
Archer scoffed. “No contest. I took top marks in sharpshooting.”
“That means I should expect to see results by tomorrow. I look forward to it.”
Archer looked panicked for a moment then smiled. “Sure, I can give you results.”
Turning back to Woodhouse I said “Show me what else need attending.”
Woodhouse led me through the town that represented my mind, pointing out each business that had fallen into disrepair, suggested others that needed improvements, and additions that would benefit me. In the distance, I could hear Lana and Archer shooting at the crowd of zombies and with each echoing shot I felt a tiny bit better about everything.

I banked the fire and stared into the golden eyes of Beatale before I crept into my makeshift tent.
I still had my auric vision running and couldn’t help but notice the thin silver cord that ran from me to Horse. Firming up my aura, I reached out with my hand and grabbed it.

I could see the life all around me, the distant forest was a sea of greenish-gold, grasses and brush nearby glowed with spectral light. Tiny ghost insects scurried while ghost mice nibbled at whatever ghost mice nibble on. Ghost seeds and ghost insects, I suppose. I turned my attention overhead and gaped at the sight of a monstrous serpentine spirit flying through the inky void. I dropped back through the tent and rolled inside my body. That was plenty enough for now.
I rolled through the mirror and landed flat on my back, staring at the fresco on the ceiling. Vinnie-God winked at me and Vinnie-Adam grinned. Climbing to my knees, I brushed non-existent dust from my trousers and watched mirror-me doubled over in soundless laughter.
“Hey, laughing-boy!” I yelled at him. “You’re like the guardian or something, right? You got it covered?”
Mirror-me stood and saluted with a smile, then gave me two thumbs up. A moment later, his face took on a serious expression and he wriggled his right hand in the ‘maybe’ motion. Then he pointed at me, tapped his wrist, and then a finger to his head.
It all depends on how fast I learn stuff, I guess.
Two thumbs up and a winning smile reflected back to me.
A large cork board was mounted to the wall over the computer and a small note was pinned to it. “Note to self: Don’t fuck with the Elvish womens.”
The computer screen featured a screensaver of me as Vitruvian Man doing callisthenics over the words ‘HumanOS’. I tapped the spacebar and was rewarded with the sound of powerful fans kicking to life as the computer emerged from sleep mode and prompted me for a password. Should I assume it’s the same as the password on the computer I pawned in my previous life?
Password: *******esi
I was rewarded with a sweet R&M desktop and a couple of icons. System, NeuralNet, My-Tunes, My-Movies, My-Office.
System was just what I expected, lots of .dna files and other confusing scariness that allowed me to tweak my physical body and mental state. My-Tunes was a collection of every song I’d ever heard and My-Movies was a collection of every movie I’d ever seen. Not that I’m complaining, but it would have been nice to have “My-Games” so I could play RDR. My-Office was a clone of the popular software by a similar name. I have no idea what I’ll ever need a spreadsheet for in this world.
NuralNet opened up a search engine called Me-Seeks, featuring a familiar blue guy.
I typed in “beer” and several thousand results were displayed, anything I’d ever read, heard, or watched about beer, including how to make it. This right here made the price of admission totally worth it, access to an exact copy of everything I’d ever read, and I was a voracious reader. Sadly, most of the stuff I read was futurology — solar panels, electronics, biotech advancements, quantum computing. The material for steam engines, blacksmithing, farming and the like, were slim pickings. That’s okay though, I could still reproduce the Gutenberg press, the cotton gin, simple internal combustion engines, and basic batteries along with some sketchy knowledge of metal alloys, acids, bases, and other things I had read over the years. All that wasted time watching “How Things Work” was finally going to pay off. I copied a few likely money makers to My-Office, saved the file, and exported to my Notes, just in case they didn’t exist on Aerth.
A popup covered the screen.

Apparently I could upgrade myself, which reduced the cost of using my Utilities while providing other minor benefits. My Utilities would level up as I used them, which would increase their battery cost, so if I didn’t keep pace with an update to the OS they could become prohibitively expensive to operate.
Stupid pay-to-win world.
So, do I pay 2000 credits for version 2.0 or 5000 credits for version 3.0?
I selected version 3.0 and klicked [Install]. After watching it download the update, it popped up another screen that asked if I wanted to update now, or wait until Midnight for the mandatory update.
I selected [No] just as the grandfather clock chimed 10:30 PM. I wondered if time ran slower in here, because it seemed like I had spent a lot more time on the computer than 15 minutes. Walking over to the imposing steel door, I noticed a bronze key with a thin chain in the lock. There was another sticky note on the door. “Subconscious. Please keep the key with you at all times.”
That’s not scary at all, is it?
I unlocked the door with a loud clunk and pulled it open to reveal a bedroom straight out of some royal castle. I could tell immediately that it had seen better days. The tapestries on the wall were frayed and fading. The canopy over the bed had a few holes in it. A thin layer of dust covered the mantle of a small fireplace set into the wall. There was a window letting in bright sunlight and I moved over to look outside.
I was on the third floor of a keep surrounded by the walls and turrets of a modest castle. A castle that had fallen into serious disrepair. Did this represent the state of my inner mind? One tower was shattered and the curtain wall under it damaged. The lower bailey was full of litter. I could see a few soldiers walking around the allure, keeping watch.
I have people in my subconscious?
Someone behind me cleared their throat.
Whirling, I discovered a familiar old man standing in the door of the bedroom. What was left of his hair formed a white halo around his head, his face was unshaven and covered with several days of growth. He was dressed like a poor and tattered manservant, but carried himself with a dignified air.
“Woodhouse?”
“It’s nice to see the master at home,” He said with a proper English accent. “There are many matters that require the master’s attention.”
“Uh, sure,” I said, hanging the key around my neck and tucking it in my shirt. “And who are you again?”
“Your personal manservant, of course” he said with a slight bow. Walking over to the steel door, he pulled it closed and it locked with a solid thunk. “Master should always keep his inner sanctum closed. One never knows if something nasty will creep in.”
“Thank you, uh, Woodhouse. I’ll remember that,” I said, rubbing the back of my neck. “So what needs tending and how do things work around here?”
He smiled and beckoned me with a white gloved hand. “If master would be so kind as to follow me, I’ll introduce him to the staff and explain the duties and obligations of his domain.”
I’m 99.9% certain that everyone here is just me wearing a mask, so I shrugged and followed Woodhouse out of the bedroom and into the rest of my subconscious.
Five minutes later I was on the ground floor and seated on a shabby throne with the cast of a popular —and probably very copyright protected— animation in front of me. Woodhouse was the head butler and my personal manservant. Pam was the cook and demanded that I start importing sugar and alcohol before she was shushed by Woodhouse. Carol was a maid. Krieger was chancellor and Cyril was the steward. Archer and Lana were in charge of security. Ray was the marshal in charge of everything from the stables to the blacksmith.
I stared in disbelief at the motley crew kneeling in front of me. No wonder my inner mind was in such shambles. I was overcome with an irrational sense of anger at myself.
“Arright, listen up,” I barked, my voice echoing around the room. “I swear to God that I will fire every single one of you and hire circus clowns to replace you if you keep fucking things up. No joke. Circus clowns, got it?”
I ran a hand over my face as Ray pissed himself. “The only reason I’m not putting a boot in your asses right now is because I realise that you’re aspects of me, and the people you represent are pretty damn good at their jobs when they give enough of a shit to actually do them. As a team, you’re dysfunctionally fantastic and always seem to come out ahead no matter the odds.”
Heaving a sigh, I continued. “Things have changed and I need to get my shit together. I’m going to need every one of you to pull your weight and help me help you. Get back to your duties, I’ll meet you one on one later.”
My subconscious caretakers scurried out of the room.
“I’ll have one of the maids tend to the piss,” Woodhouse assured me.
“Never mind that,” I snapped. “I honestly had no idea my mind was such a shit show. I’m very disappointed in myself.” I pictured the Angry, Sad, and Disgusted counters on my personal movies clicking up. “Show me what needs to be done and let’s get started.”
During Woodhouse’s walking tour, everything clicked into place. This was some altered version of Bodiam castle, a location that was on my bucket list of places to visit. The royal council room, located behind the throne room, contained a “living” tapestry on the wall that showed the castle and surrounding land in real time. The castle was located in the middle of a small lake, and a single wood bridge led to the mainland. A small town surrounded the lake and a wall encircled the town. Outside the wall, the land was an irregular patchwork of forest and field, with a stinking swamp to the south. The entire “kingdom” was maybe ten miles across, surrounded by impassable mountains with innumerable creeks that fed the lake which drained into the southern swamp.
“Zombies are the problem, sir.” Woodhouse said, as I surveyed the living tapestry of my mental domain.
“Zombies?” I prompted.
“Yes sir, Zombies” Woodhouse continued. “Nasty bitey things that come in from the mountains and harass the peasants. They’ve gotten especially worse over the last few months. The soldiers do what they can, but they seem to have lost all motivation. Probably because they haven’t been paid.”
“And who pays them?”
“Typically chancellor Krieger is in charge of financial matters, although Steward Figgis has taken over the duty, sir.”
“Then let’s make Figgis our first stop.”
“Very good, sir.”
The office of the steward was run by Cyril Figgis, who managed the kingdom in my absence. It was overflowing with paperwork and charts, books and scrolls piled high on every flat surface. Cyril was desperately attempting to tidy things when Woodhouse and I walked in.
“Yo..you..your majesty,” Cyril stuttered, bowing low. Scrolls fell from his overloaded arms, spilling across the floor. He dropped to his knees and scrambled to gather them up. “I didn’t expect you to visit so soon. Please forgive the mess, housekeeping has been slacking…”
This was the guy who ran things while I was conscious.
“Shut up, Cyril” I said. “You’re responsible for everything in this office. That includes keeping it organised and tidy.”
“Y..yes milord.”
“It’s my understanding that you’re in charge of making sure everyone gets paid. So why aren’t we paying people?” I asked.
“We’re nearly out of Fuks, your majesty. I’ve been saving them for emergencies.”
“Fucks?”
“Fuks,” Cyril explained, pushing a pile of books off a large chest and opening it. Reaching inside he pulled out two small bags and emptied them on top of his cluttered desk. “Gold and Silver Fuks, the currency of the kingdom. I can’t maintain the kingdom when I have no Fuks to give.”
Behold the subconscious kingdom of Vincent J. Carter, it runs on Fuks.
“So how do I get more fuks?” I asked, examining one of the coins. It had an image of me on one side and symbol on the other that could be interpreted as “peace among worlds”.
“You kill the zombies, your majesty.”
Of course I do.
Woodhouse and I left Cyril’s office and headed towards the office of the chancellor where Krieger worked. It seemed that Cyril took over financial matters when Krieger became erratic and proposed luring all the zombies into the city and setting it on fire. Not sure how that corresponds to my own self-destructive behaviour, but I’ve had some dark thoughts over the last couple of months and I’m sure they’re reflected here.
Krieger’s office was much neater in comparison to Cyril’s, but it wasn’t by much. Shelves lined the walls and were filled with an array of questionable items, including a still snapping zombie head in a jar. While the office of the chancellor was supposed to be in charge of financial matters, it looked more like a dodgy rummage sale.
Krieger was launching sword blades at a pig carcass when we walked in.
“What exactly are you doing?” I asked, standing in the doorway.
“Hm? Oh, your majesty!” he said, turning around and bowing deeply. “I’m testing a new invention. It’s a spring loaded hilt that shoots sword blades. Very useful for our soldiers.”
“Stupidest idea ever,” I snapped. “I hate everything about it.”
“Okay,” Krieger said, tossing the hilt into a nearby pile of junk. “But don’t blame me when you need to shoot a sword at a zombie and don’t have one.”
“So why aren’t you managing the financial affairs? Collecting taxes, paying people, stuff like that?”
“Because the population has declined so much none of that matters?”
“What do you mean?”
“Wellll, the population represents things you care about,” Krieger said, going into lecture mode. “And the zombies and other monsters are real or imagined problems in your way. Since you don’t care about too many things the population has shrunk to just what’s needed to keep everything running on the bare minimum of fuks. And since you don’t seem to have any long or short term goals, there’s no need to kill off the zombies and get more fuks. Everything is fine just the way it is.”
“No, it’s not Krieger” I said, grinding my teeth. “My mind is in a shambles. It’s a joke. I want it fixed. No, I want it better than fixed. I want it improved.”
“Oh! I’ve got just the thing for that!” He said, digging around in his pockets, “It’s a spring-loaded hilt that shoots swords!”
Pam and Cheryl were hanging out a gallery window jeering at Archer and Lana sparring in the inner courtyard.
“What the hell are you doing!” I snapped
They whirled in surprise and then dropped into deep curtseys.
“Your majesty!”
I took a deep breath, trying to regain my centre. “Get to work cleaning this place up. Find a room, clean it, and move on to the next. Start with my bedroom, then the throne room and the council chamber, then everything else.”
Cheryl spoke up. “Can’t do it. We got no fuks to clean with.”
“You need fuks to clean?”
“Gotta buy stuff,” Pam said. “Cleaning supplies, food. You wanna eat, you’re gonna have to spend some fuks.”
“Talk to Cyril,” I ordered. “Tell him I said to get you supplied.”
They ran off in the direction of the stewards office.
I watched Archer and Lana bashing each other enthusiastically through the window.
Several minutes later the sparring couple stopped and bowed when Woodhouse and I stepped into the inner courtyard.
“Your majesty”
“My liege”
“Enough,” I said. “If you have enough energy to smash each other, you have enough energy to smash zombies. Tell me what I need to know so I can start gathering fuks.”
Archer shrugged and spoke first. “You just kill the zombies and other monsters. They drop fuks.”
“Anything special about the zombies?” I asked. “Are they fast? Do people get turned into zombies when bitten?”
“Nope,” Lana said, resting her wooden sword on her shoulder. “Most of them are slow shamblers and just need a good wack to the head to kill them.”
“Some are special,” Archer interjected. “Occasionally you’ll have some fast ones, or those that need holy water to kill. They’re just bad memories, figments of your personality that need to be eliminated. Some are worse than others.”
“The zombies are bad memories?” I asked, imagining all the bad memories that I had.
“Memories, thoughts, insecurities, metaphysical mumbo-jumbo,” Woodhouse supplied. “They are endless, but constant vigilance can keep them under control.”
“So let’s get started,” I said. “Lead the way.”
Lana and Archer lead me up to the parapet over the front gate where I looked over at the dozens of zombies milling about aimlessly in front of the entrance to my mind. Pulling out my gun, I began to pick them off, easy as shooting fish in a barrel. The crack of my spell pistol attracted more zombies and I dispatched them with ease until no more were left around the gate. As I fired each shot I could feel some sort of existential energy flowing from me, draining some hidden reserve.
“Gather up the Fuks,” I commanded. “And Lana?”
“Mi’lord?”
“There’s no excuse for this. From now on, I expect the walls to be clear of all zombies.”
“Yes mi’lord,” she said, giving me a small bow.
Turning to Archer, I shook my head. “You’re obviously my personal narcissism, so just try to stay out of Lana’s way, or better yet - try to kill more zombies than her. If you think you can.”
Archer scoffed. “No contest. I took top marks in sharpshooting.”
“That means I should expect to see results by tomorrow. I look forward to it.”
Archer looked panicked for a moment then smiled. “Sure, I can give you results.”
Turning back to Woodhouse I said “Show me what else need attending.”
Woodhouse led me through the town that represented my mind, pointing out each business that had fallen into disrepair, suggested others that needed improvements, and additions that would benefit me. In the distance, I could hear Lana and Archer shooting at the crowd of zombies and with each echoing shot I felt a tiny bit better about everything.

2024.06.01 12:39 PsyOrg Help foundation too deep
Ok so I'm quickly becoming a cautionary tale but please tell me I'm being dramatic and it's not going to be as expensive as I fear.
Ok so building new house, thought everything was bedrock (1/3 of the site was exposed bedrock) decided on pillar foundation. Diet is heavy so hired a guy to scrape off the rock. Rock kept getting deeper and dude kept going, by the time I got there after work (yes I'm stupid I should have taken the day off). I had a family member meet the guy onsite to go over the plan. I forgot to tell my family member to have the guy stop if there isn't any bedrock after 4-5 feet. (Yes again cautionary tale)
Anyway super fun result of my stupidity is that the site that was supposed to be an 1 story <100sq ft house on a couple feet of pillar foundation (no basement) is now a mess. 1/3 is bedrock as expected then then the next 1/3 is a slope down with rises for boulders and the last 1/3 has a many 10+ish foot hole to the bedrock.
Yes I am stupid and totally f'ed up with my crappy instructions. I fully accept this mess is entirely my own making. So how big of a f-up is this? Think I can like fill with riprap/gravel or something and build on top of the gravel? Or maybe put the pillars down to the bedrock and fill in around with gravel?
If filled with gravel and piles/pillar on top with maybe extra wide footings?
Also drainage? Is 10ish ft of gravel over bedrock sufficient to not have issues? It's basically a like a first time potter lumpy mug, but its bedrock so drains slowly.
I'm really hoping to fix this without blowing the budget.

I recently tried out the Hunter 27-152 Belt Magazine Pouch for Remington 740, 742, Winchester 88, and was quite impressed by its functionality and build quality. This pouch proved to be a reliable and stylish accessory for my hunting gear. The leather brown color added a touch of elegance to my setup, and it has held up well over time.
The one minor issue I encountered was that it only fits one magazine at a time, which might not be ideal for those who need to carry two or more mags frequently. However, when considering the convenience and durability this pouch provides, I think it is a worthy addition to any hunting enthusiast's gear collection. Overall, I'm glad I made the investment and would highly recommend giving it a try.

The Urban Carry LockLeather OWB Single Magazine Holster Ambidextrous Black was a game changer in my daily carry system. With its sleek and comfortable design, I could easily move around without the holster getting in the way. The adjustable leather fit perfectly and allowed for smooth and easy magazine swaps. I particularly appreciated the ambidextrous feature that made life all the more convenient for a right-handed shooter like myself.
However, the only downside I encountered was the fact that the magazine holder wasn't caliber-specific or double/single stack specific. This meant that I needed to pay extra attention whenever swapping magazines to ensure that the fit was perfect. The holster also had a slightly stiffer leather feel compared to others, but this didn't significantly hamper its usability.
Overall, the Urban Carry LockLeather OWB Single Magazine Holster Ambidextrous Black has been a reliable choice for my every day carry system. Its sleek design, comfortable fit, and ambidextrous features make it a standout choice for those seeking a reliable and versatile magazine holster.

As a leather enthusiast, I was thrilled to try out this set of World War era leather accessories. The Officers Leather Belt Set stood out for its premium leather quality, with the M1916 1911 . 45 Holster and Leather. 45 Mag Pouch both expertly crafted to resemble their original counterparts.
One thing that immediately caught my eye was the beautifully reproduced brass belt buckle, which added a touch of authenticity to the set. However, I did find that the leather holster could be a bit tricky to thread through the belt. Other than that, this leather set was a comfortable and attractive addition to my daily carry.

Eager to try it out, I grabbed my trusty 40/45 carbine and attached the laser sight to my Picatinny rail. The moment I powered it up, I felt a sense of exhilaration knowing it provided a 4mw laser beam that could reach up to 300 yards in pitch dark. When I took it out on my next hunting expedition, I was pleasantly surprised by its weight, at just 3.8 oz, it didn't burden my carbine. Moreover, I appreciated the convenience of a lithium cell 3V battery that could last up to 20 hours. However, one drawback I did experience during the cold hunting nights was its tendency to drain the battery power faster when temperatures dropped. In terms of durability, it held up well but the lens, being exposed to the elements, could use a protective casing. Despite this minor flaw, the MKS Laser Kit was a practical and fun addition to my hunting adventures, serving as a reliable guide for a clean kill. 🔗Viridian E-Series Green Laser Sight for Taurus GX4 Crossbowhttps://preview.redd.it/d7iem9wbox3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=48334cccd147e41dc7071cc2c17448f8fadd2ed8 The Viridian E Series Grn LSR Taurus GX4 has been a lifesaver in my everyday concealed carry routine.

This little guy seamlessly integrates with my HYBRID Series thermal weapon sights via USB-C, providing real-time range data and a firing solution on a custom drop-compensating reticle. It's like having a personal laser rangefinder and ballistic solver all in one compact, lightweight package. One feature that stood out to me was the ease of use, even with gloves on. The Picatinny Quick-Detach Mount and simplified controls make it a breeze to operate, even in low-light conditions. Plus, the rugged 6061 aluminum construction ensures durability and waterproofing, so I can trust it to perform in any weather. The only downside I've experienced so far is the need for a USB-C cable to power and data transfer, which can be a hassle when you're in the middle of a hunt. But overall, the InfiRay ILR-1000-2 LSR RF has significantly improved my accuracy and confidence when it comes to long-range shooting.

The laser beam built into the aperture makes for easy and accurate alignment, and the simple push button functions provide precise LCD digital readouts. I especially appreciate the incremental encoding detection system with dual digital displays and the automatic power shut-off feature. However, one minor drawback I've experienced is that the coaxial tangent and clamp screws could use some improvement in terms of ease of use in sighting and alignment. The built-in battery pack is a great addition, but I wish the process of attaching and detaching it was a bit smoother. Despite these minor setbacks, the product's water-resistant, sealed construction has been a saving grace, ensuring that it can withstand various weather conditions. Overall, the David White 46-D8897 5-Sec. Laser Sight Digital Theodolite with Optical Plummet DT8-05LS has proven to be a reliable and efficient tool for sighting and alignment during my daily use.

The first thing that caught my eye was the solid feel of the Kydex material. It's a bit heavier than some other holsters I've tried, but this adds to the confidence that my firearm is securely held in place. The open bottom design is a game-changer - it fits threaded barrels and compensators like a glove, and offers compatibility with most RMRed Dots on the market. I particularly appreciate the customization options available for fit and attachment, which make it a perfect match for my carry needs. The slight discomfort I've experienced while wearing the Covert IWB holster is the only downside I've noticed. After wearing it for a few hours, I feel a bit of pressure on my hip.

Overall, the positives far outweigh the negatives, and I highly recommend this holster to anyone in the market for an IWB 1911 holster. 🔗Carry Comfortably with Versacarry's Quality 1911 Holsterhttps://preview.redd.it/8euk7z86kx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=687e8a7de1de4289ed9723de97ca78137e8f2939 Last week, I had an interesting experience with the Versacarry Compound holster. I was at the range, trying to practice with my 1911, when I realized my holster wasn't the greatest for my needs. So, I swapped it for this one, and let me tell you - it's been a game changer. First off, the material is premium water buffalo leather. It's softer than most plastic holsters but holds up better against wear and tear. Plus, it has a raised protective backing and metal inlay for extra rigidity. It's like having a little bodyguard for your gun. I also appreciate the fit. This right-handed holster fits my 1911 perfectly, and it's comfortable to wear. It hugs my waist just right, without digging into my side. Now, practicing at the range is a breeze, as I can focus on my aim, instead of fidgeting with my holster. The stitching is industrial-grade bonded nylon thread, so you know it's made to last. But don't just take my word for it - Versacarry even made sure it's made in the USA. However, there are a few things I'd like to point out. The holster is only compatible with certain handguns, and I had to return my first one because it didn't fit my pistol correctly. Also, if you're using it for open carry, it might be a bit too conspicuous for my liking. Lastly, there were a couple of minor issues with the holster's design, but it didn't affect the overall experience. In conclusion, the Versacarry Compound holster has become my daily sidekick at the range. Its quality, comfort, and ease of use make it a versatile and reliable partner for my 1911.

The holster's thick leather backer provides excellent support, while the soft suede lining ensures that it's always comfy against the body. What really sets this holster apart is the multiple points of retention adjustment. You can really make it work for you, thanks to the three different straps. The adjustability makes it a perfect fit, no matter how your body is built.

The hybrid holster is meticulously crafted from premium leather and form-fitted Kydex, creating a secure and personalized fit for your firearm. Its natural hugging of your body and adjustable retention make it a standout option. However, I found the weight distribution to be slightly top-heavy, which may require some adjustments. The limited number of color options could also be a drawback for those seeking a more unique look. Nonetheless, the holster's lightweight design, durability, and lifetime guarantee are all noteworthy features that make this a top contender in the market. 🔗Bravo Concealment Torsion 1911 IWB Holster with Adjustable Retentionhttps://preview.redd.it/0zlc3mvbkx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=896ef85e086e6a40586144ebfb16a0182b8ff98d I recently became a fan of the Bravo Concealment Adaptive IWB concealed carry holster for my trusty 1911.

Plus, the holster retains its shape for smooth one-handed re-holstering. The tuckable clip is another added convenience, allowing me to effortlessly tuck it under my clothing when needed.

It's a reliable and comfortable option for everyday concealed carry. 🔗Premium 1911 Holster for Right Hand Configurationhttps://preview.redd.it/xcyx469ckx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=01903d8dbc870c5ac7458e0fea2578ef1b08bfbc While I was out on a shooting range, I decided to try out the Desantis Gunhide Mini Slide Belt Holster for my 1911 pistol. First off, the premium saddle leather and attention to detail were striking. The exposed muzzle design gave it a tight fit, perfect for my gun.

It's a beauty to behold, with its premium full-grain leather design that simply exudes luxury. The handcrafted attention to detail is obvious, making it a perfect fit for my 1911. The double-stitching adds an extra layer of security, and the smooth interior makes for a speedy draw whenever I need it. While I absolutely love the holster's aesthetics and comfort, I've noticed that it might not be the most versatile option. It's specifically designed for full-size 1911s with no attachments, which means those looking for a more universal option might want to look elsewhere.

Crafted using premium 100% Certified American Heavy Native Steerhide leather, this holster exudes durability and comfort. Its multi-fit design and open top make it an easy choice for your preferred carry-style, accommodating a wide range of firearms. However, the added functionality of the optic cut and the inclusion of a sweat guard or shield give it a slight edge in terms of usability. The reinforced stitching ensures that the holster remains secure and long-lasting. Despite these pros, the holster may not be the most ideal choice for those looking for a more minimalist or lightweight design.

I love its tension mechanism for handgun retention, ensuring that my firearm stays secure in place. However, the memory band, which helps maintain the holster's shape for easy re-holstering, could be improved. The 1 1/2" split belt loop works well, but I wish it was removable or adjustable for better compatibility with my belt. Another downside is that some models, unfortunately, lack this crucial feature. Overall, as a right-handed firearm enthusiast, this holster has proved useful and practical, but a little more flexibility could enhance my overall experience. 🔗Comfortable and Adjustable 1911 Holsters for Right-Hand Usehttps://preview.redd.it/j99ct9udkx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2788fd6bb46a67e10dc34fac3214be4d34ec9341 As someone who's always on the lookout for innovative gear to make my outdoor activities more efficient, I recently had the chance to try out the Blackpoint Outback Chest System.

The 1 1/2" split belt loop was a convenient addition, ensuring the holster stayed securely in place. However, there were a couple of hiccups during my experience. The lack of an adjustable belt loop was a bit of a bummer, as it would have been perfect for those of us with smaller belts. Also, the memory band and split belt loop were only available on some models, not all.

I appreciate that I can customize the holster's angle to suit my carry preferences, which makes my daily carry more ergonomic and comfortable. Additionally, the quick-release clips make it a breeze to access my firearm when needed. However, there are a couple of downsides that I've noticed during my use. First, the spare magazine storage compartment is quite snug, which can make it difficult to load or unload extra magazines. And second, while the raised protective backing helps shield my skin from cold contact, the holster does tend to slip a bit, especially when I'm moving around briskly. Overall, the Versacarry Element Holster is an excellent choice for those looking for a comfortable and discreet 1911 holster. Its adjustable cant and quick-release clips make it a standout option, but expect some minor issues with the spare magazine storage and slippage.

This case has been a game-changer for me, offering unparalleled protection and durability against all elements. Its high-impact polymer exterior ensures that my firearms remain safe from bumps, scratches, and water damage. The six push button latches provide secure closure while also allowing easy access. Its heavy duty handles are not only ergonomic but also incredibly sturdy, making it easy to transport my weapons even in the toughest conditions. Another feature I absolutely love is the interior protection provided by five layers of high-quality foam. However, there is one downside to this case - its weight. While the extra heft provides additional protection, it can make carrying the case a bit challenging for extended periods. Despite this, I still feel confident in its ability to safeguard my rifle no matter where I go or how I transport it. In conclusion, the Pelican V700 Vault Takedown Rifle and Shotgun Case with Foam, Black has been a reliable and robust addition to my arsenal. Its performance under various conditions has exceeded my expectations, making it worth every penny. However, potential buyers should be aware of its weight before making their final decision. 🔗Durable Double Rifle Case – Tanhttps://preview.redd.it/g2td665hjx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c1d7637075c7de3d3c034e49b15ea8e0fe52baa4 As an avid hunter, I've tried numerous gun cases over the years. But the moment I got my hands on the Pelican V800 Vault Double Rifle Case, I knew I'd found a permanent companion. This hard case is built to withstand even the toughest conditions, making it perfect for anyone who loves the great outdoors. The first thing that caught my eye was its high-impact polymer exterior. It's designed to protect your firearms from anything you throw at it, whether that's rough terrain, extreme weather conditions, or even the baggage handlers at the airport. With six push-button latches, I can securely lock my rifles inside and have peace of mind knowing they're safe. One feature I absolutely love is the five layers of customizable protective foam. It provides the ultimate protection for my scoped rifles, ensuring they remain in perfect condition no matter where my adventures take me. Plus, the ergonomic heavy-duty handles make it easy to carry, even when fully loaded. However, one downside is that the case is quite heavy. While this may not be an issue for some, others might find it challenging to transport long distances. Additionally, cutting through the foam to fit my rifles can be quite a task, requiring a lot of patience and precision. Overall, the Pelican V800 Vault Double Rifle Case has exceeded my expectations in terms of durability and protection. If you're looking for a reliable and robust gun case, look no further than this one. 🔗Ultimate Guitar Rifle Case for Discreet Transporthttps://preview.redd.it/fmwnn7rhjx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4caca78f20469adec52019e2b755be6d05eb2bd8 As an avid hunter, I had been struggling to find a case that could safely transport my rifle without attracting unwanted attention. That's when I came across the Savior Equipment Ultimate Guitar Rifle Case. The first thing that struck me was its size - it's big enough to fit my rifle, yet small enough to remain inconspicuous. The hard exterior provides ample protection against bumps and knocks, while the customizable foam inserts ensure my rifle is snug and secure. I was initially skeptical about how easy it would be to cut the foam myself, but I found it to be quite simple, and the customization options are endless. However, one con is the lack of included locks. While it is convenient that the case comes lock-ready, I had to purchase locks separately, which was a minor inconvenience. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase. The Savior Equipment Ultimate Guitar Rifle Case has made my hunting trips a lot easier and more secure. 🔗Duelly Pistol Case with Heavy Duty Handlehttps://preview.redd.it/inx6n62ijx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9dfd934ecff6c53c958e421fb5ddce373d003cbf I've been using the 12" Duelly Pistol Case for a few months now, and it's been a game-changer for me on multiple levels. First, the heavy-duty handle has made it incredibly easy to carry, no matter how heavy the pistols. And let's not forget the interior foam, which has kept my valuable firearms snug and protected from bumps and scratches. Not to mention, the 12" size ensures that there's ample room for all my accessories. However, one area where this case could improve is its durability. While it has held up well so far, I worry about how it will fare with more extended use. Additionally, the lack of built-in locks for security purposes is a minor inconvenience that I hope to see resolved in future models. All in all, the Duelly Pistol Case has been an instrumental addition to my collection, and I trust it to keep my valuable possessions safe and secure. If you're in the market for a stylish and functional accessory, this is definitely worth checking out. 🔗Hybrid EVA Pistol Case with Lockable Zipperhttps://preview.redd.it/pibe18eijx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7880a5472d72dfa68aaaa6679ddec4fe1fe397a1 I've been using the Plano Stealth Eva Pistol Case for about a month now, and I must say, it's been a game-changer in how I store and transport my 5" pistol. The case has a lightweight EVA construction which is both durable and easy to carry, making it perfect for those trips to the shooting range or when I'm traveling. The highlight of this case would definitely be the high-density, interlocking foam that secures my contents perfectly in place. It gives me peace of mind knowing that my valued possession is well protected. The lockable zipper pulls are another feature I love; they add an extra layer of security. However, one downside could be the size - it might not fit all types of pistols or additional accessories comfortably. But, for its purpose and design, the Plano Stealth Eva Pistol Case does its job exceptionally well. 🔗Durable Waterproof Hard Case for Rifles and Shotgunshttps://preview.redd.it/reyabsvijx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ffd84602eb582a72e3ab1c93bfc530ad87e39887 As an avid outdoorsman, I've always been on the lookout for reliable gear that can withstand the toughest conditions. The RPNB Large Weatherproof Tactical Case, with its customizable foam insert and premium black rolling hard case, has truly earned its place in my collection. I first used this case during a hunting trip where I had to traverse rugged terrains. Its robust construction and IP65 rating proved invaluable, keeping my gear dry and dust-free despite the harsh environment. The adjustable pressure relief valve was a welcome surprise as it allowed me to effortlessly access my items even after changing elevations. However, one minor drawback is the lack of built-in locks. It wasn't a deal-breaker for me since I usually use my own secure luggage locks, but it might be worth considering if you're particularly concerned about security. All in all, the RPNB Large Weatherproof Tactical Case has been an excellent addition to my gear, providing both practicality and durability. It's definitely worth considering if you're in need of a robust case for your outdoorsy adventures. 🔗Durable All-Weather 2-Pistol Carry Casehttps://preview.redd.it/lfixok5jjx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=edf516366d6f5bf54cc91a49969f6fb48e588e75 I recently got my hands on the Plano All-Weather Two Pistol Case, and I must say, it's been a game-changer for my firearms storage needs. This case is the perfect combination of durability and convenience. The rugged, industrial-strength construction gives me peace of mind knowing my handguns are well-protected, while the customizable pluck-to-fit foam allows me to adjust the interior to fit my specific needs. Additionally, the built-in pressure release valve ensures that I don't have to worry about altitude or temperature changes affecting the case's integrity. Overall, the Plano All-Weather Two Pistol Case is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable and secure solution for storing their handguns. 🔗Tac-Six 55" Lockable 2-Firearm Tactical Gun Casehttps://preview.redd.it/eo6zbbvjjx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ea6858ef25549f6b42d18d619f06e3301cae9b5 I was always on the search for a reliable gun case that could not only handle the weight of my tactical rifle, but also provide the necessary organization and customization options for my accessories. The Tac-Six 55" Lockable 2-Firearm Unit Tactical Gun Case made me feel confident with its durable 600D polyester construction, ensuring my valued gear was well-protected from the elements. One of the standout features of this tactical gun case is its spacious interior, which comfortably fits two tactical rifles. Coupled with its lockable design, it has given me peace of mind when storage security is a priority. The laser cut MOLLE system truly takes this case to the next level, as it enables me to efficiently attach and customize my essential accessories, making it easy for me to switch up my gear as needed for various situations I may encounter during my travels. While the Tac-Six has proven to be highly versatile and reliable, one minor downside is the limited number of color options available. However, considering the quality and functionality of this product, it remains a top pick for any serious tactical shooter or outdoorsman. 🔗Durable and Secure M1919 Gun Case by Pelicanhttps://preview.redd.it/29lhbk3kjx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=483bd2bf2726f2846b1157b639199f801bb8a102 I recently got my hands on the Pelican iM3300 case, and I must say, it has been a game-changer. This case was designed to keep my M1919 machine gun and all of its accessories perfectly organized, and it has exceeded my expectations. The first thing that stood out to me was the custom foam. It fits the M1919 like a glove and has designated spaces for each part. Once everything is set up, it's a thing of beauty. No more rummaging through a jumbled mess looking for a specific part. The case also has six press & pull latches, which are super convenient for quick access during shooting sessions. They're reinforced for maximum strength, so there's no worrying about whether the case can handle the weight of the gun and accessories. One of my favorite features is the Vortex Valve. It helps keep the case dry by releasing pressure without letting water inside. This is especially helpful when I'm transporting it in rainy weather. However, despite its numerous positives, the iM3300 isn't perfect. It's quite heavy, even when empty. Though it has in-line wheels for easy transport, it can still be a struggle to move around, especially on uneven surfaces. In conclusion, the Pelican iM3300 case has been a reliable companion for my M1919 machine gun. Its custom foam, reinforced latches, and Vortex Valve make it a standout in the world of gun cases. Just be prepared for the weight if mobility is a concern.

- Choose furniture and decor items made from natural materials like wood, bamboo, jute, and cotton. These materials are often biodegradable and have a lower environmental impact compared to synthetic alternatives.
- High-quality items tend to last longer, reducing the need for frequent replacements. This not only saves money in the long run but also reduces waste.

- Choose paints with low or no volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These paints are less harmful to the environment and your health.

2024.06.01 09:06 anatoli_smolin my mom sends weaponized gifts to me through my sister
i have been NC with my mom for 2 years but i still am LC with my sister (who has done nothing wrong - she has high functioning autism and it’s a complicated situation that is too much for me to explain here, but she is NOT a flying monkey, she simply cares for me and my mom separately in the only way she knows how).
on holidays when i see my sister, she brings gifts from my family (she brings them in good faith), however the gifts themselves are not. last year my mom gave her a large gift haul to pass along to me, which included an all black comforter for a bed the wrong size (i hate black), a fuzzy throw rug she got off of amazon, a bunch of random trinkets and skin care products from bizarre brands, my senior prom dress, and a bunch of baby pictures and old family photos of us all together.
she sprayed the entire package with her perfume that she’s worn my whole life, and i thought at first maybe i was crazy and it just picked up the scent from being in their house, but as i rifled through everything the smell was so pungent my roommate came out of her bedroom to ask me what it was. i left the “gift” in the garage and it made our entire garage smell because it was that strong.
i don’t know why i even open them. curiosity i guess. my whole life, my mom has never known me. every gift that has come from her on any occasion has been so generic and impersonal, as if she’s giving it to a coworker. she doesn’t know or care what i like, what my interests are, or what would make me happy. she never did. she never will.

It's not only powerful, with its 1000W motor, but also incredibly quiet. One of my favorite features has to be the 3 riding modes - Pedal Mode, Boost Mode, and Power Mode. This gives me the flexibility to choose how much assistance I need from the motor, depending on the terrain or my energy level. The other highlight for me is the removable 52V 15AH Lithium Battery. Not only does it have a decent charging time of 4-6 hours, but it also has a safety design to prevent over-charging which is a big plus. However, there are a couple of cons that I noticed. Firstly, the assembly process was a bit challenging for me. It took quite some time and required some technical knowledge. Another downside is the weight of the bike.

With Shimano recognized worldwide components, it's hard not to feel secure and confident while riding. While the C91 does come equipped with a 7.3W LED front light, a removable battery with a key, and dual shock absorbers, it's worth noting that the maximum speed is a bit slower at 50-55km/h. Additionally, the dual disc brake can be a little touchy for some riders. However, overall, this bike offers a unique and exciting riding experience that's hard to beat. 🔗1000W Electric Bike for Adultshttps://preview.redd.it/10cpajz8gw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=14290de8706943f6f79cb2a556de8f296f9681d5 I recently had the chance to try out the 26" Tifgalop Electric Bike for myself, and I've got to say, it's been a game-changer for my daily commutes and weekend adventures.

The weather search feature proved invaluable during race weekends, giving me instant updates on any channel change without needing to manually search.

It might have a few scuffs and scratches, but it functioned flawlessly. I was impressed with how easy it was to navigate through the channels and find the one I wanted. And when I did, the volume was loud enough to hear without using an earpiece. However, the volume knob did require a bit of a turn to get to a decent level, which can be a bit inconvenient at times. But overall, I'm really happy with my purchase. It's been a great companion, and the fact that I could set it up quickly made it even better.

This clear, easy-to-read display provides quick access to all essential information. But, as someone who appreciates sleek designs, I would have liked a slightly more discreet display. The SAME weather alert is another standout feature. It’s especially useful for those who live in areas prone to severe weather conditions. However, some users may find the weather alerts a bit too frequent or distracting. Overall, the Uniden BCD536HP is an impressive piece of technology, providing an unmatched listening experience. It’s compact, easy to use, and offers a wealth of features that cater to both hobbyists and professionals alike. But, as with any high-tech device, there are certainly areas where it could improve, such as the slightly bulky design and potentially overwhelming wifi functionality.

The V-scanner technology and digital AGC were particularly thoughtful features that made the scanning process more enjoyable. The LED indicator was a nice touch, helping me track and monitor all the activity taking place. However, it did take some time to figure out how to use it effectively. One thing I noticed was that the scan list allowed me to arrange, group, and scan objects according to my preferences, which was very convenient. The unit's size and shape fit perfectly on my desk, and the black color blended well with my setup. The 800 Mhz scanner is versatile and can be used in a variety of situations. I did find that the speaker was a bit too low and had to use a booster to make it loud enough. Overall, although it took some effort to get it up and running, I would definitely recommend this scanner to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient way to stay informed about various services. 🔗Uniden BC355N 800 MHz Scanner: Monitor with 300 Channels and Close Call Featurehttps://preview.redd.it/9i66swp4fw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=57e2bd0bd670d4a111fef6459d47b08f85200324 Imagine walking into a cozy coffee shop, nestled in the bustling heart of the city, where the chatter of voices fills your ears and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee envelops your senses.

As an avid scanner enthusiast, I was intrigued to see how it would perform. The build quality is remarkable, and the 3.5-inch screen makes it easy to read even the tiniest details.

It's perfect for both receiving signals from challenging environments and for fine-tuning audio settings.

This little device kept me informed of local public safety activity throughout the United States and Canada, thanks to its ability to scan police, fire, ambulance, and/or DOT radio traffic.

The 7-color LCD display and meter made it easy to read channels, and the ability to manually set the zip code into the scanner, combined with the GPS location selection of available frequencies, was a game-changer for me. However, there was one downside - I encountered static on all four scanner channels at the same time. It made it difficult to receive clear broadcasts. It would have been great to display the frequencies and ID of the emergency channels, especially in urban areas.

It's compatible with APCO25 Phase II, which means you can easily connect to your zip code. But here's the catch. It comes with a caveat. The included antenna isn't the best, so you might need to upgrade it. Once you do, you'll find you can scan a lot of signals in a short time, though it might be a bit slow to pick up some channels. And let's not forget about the batteries. They need to be charged properly and it can take a long time, which can be a bit inconvenient. On the upside, this scanner is easy to program and offers a good range of applications, from general knowledge to journalism. However, some users have reported issues with the battery system and the quality of the included antenna. If you're keen on this type of device, you might want to look out for other models that have better battery life or antenna quality. After all, knowing what's happening in your area can be essential. 🔗Uniden Bear Tracker Scanner for GPS-Enabled Radio Scanninghttps://preview.redd.it/382at9o7fw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=30746df5256ffa0af95588d47d3c8f55746ee3d1 In my daily life, I found the Uniden Bear Tracker 9,000-Channel Mobile Analog Scanner to be a powerful and flexible tool for scanning radio systems.

This means I can store a wide variety of frequencies and quickly switch between them. However, the user manual could use some improvements. It's not very user-friendly, and Uniden should provide better documentation to help new users understand the scanner's capabilities. Additionally, some users might find the complexity of the radio initially overwhelming. But once you familiarize yourself with the scanner, its vast array of features becomes more accessible. The Bear Tracker also comes with a variety of accessories, such as an AC adapter, DC power adapter, power cord, and a 3-wire DC power cord.

To help you make an informed decision, we have compiled a list of important features to consider.Frequency Rangehttps://preview.redd.it/9gm44kg9fw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=63ab9604c28309f80fae1588c932b3e271a04531 The most crucial aspect to consider when purchasing an 800 MHz scanner is the frequency range. Ensure that the scanner operates within the 800-806 MHz frequency range, as this is the standard for these devices. A wider frequency range will allow users to access more channels and features. Screen Size and ResolutionAn 800 MHz scanner's screen plays a significant role in its overall performance. A larger and higher-resolution screen will provide better readability and make it easier to interpret data quickly. While some scanners offer touch-screen functionality, this feature is not crucial and should not be the primary determining factor when selecting a scanner.Battery LifeA long-lasting battery is essential for scanners that need to be used on the go. Ensure that the scanner has a battery life of several hours, and consider purchasing a spare battery to extend your working time. Additionally, look for devices that offer a quick-charge feature to minimize downtime. https://preview.redd.it/2ge0i1o9fw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=094754835b99815bb5dba593aa853323e9b12d66 MemoryFrequent data transfers require ample memory space on an 800 MHz scanner. Consider the available memory capacity of a scanner and ensure it can accommodate your needs. It's best to choose a scanner with expandable memory options, such as a microSD card slot.Connectivity OptionsModern 800 MHz scanners come with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity options to facilitate faster data exchange.

Some scanners come with their proprietary software, while others can be third-party compatible. Durability and WaterproofingScanners that operate in harsh environments often benefit from durability and waterproofing features. A rugged build will protect the device from drops, and a waterproof rating will keep it operational during light rain or spills.Warranty and SupportA comprehensive warranty and reliable customer support can provide peace of mind when making a purchase. Look for devices that offer extended warranties and are backed by a reputable manufacturer with a strong customer support presence.When purchasing an 800 MHz scanner, keep in mind the importance of researching, reading reviews, and considering your specific needs to ensure the best fit for your situation.

2024.06.01 07:46 Signal-Kale5811 Bitched out by a crazy lady
Tl/dr at bottom
I was MOD this afternoon/tonight. It was a long and busy night and now I’m exhausted. I’m in a small town where the only stores are DG, Family Dollar, the grocery store and convenience store. I had 2 resets to do tonight. The first took me 3 hours because for the first 2 hours I was alone and it got busy. I barely had 5 minutes without a customer. So when the sales associate got there I was finally able to really start. Had an hour lunch from 7-8 and when that was done, I went and started the 2nd reset on bath/shower. It was shortly after I started working again that the lady came up and wanted clarification for the sale on throw rugs and pillow. She thought they were half-off and I explained that were BOGO 1/2 off. I thought she understood. 5 minutes later my cashier comes up and asks if I can deal with this lady because she’s mad that her throw blanket is not ringing up 1/2 off. I explained to her again that you have to buy two and one would be half off. So the $25 blanket would be full price and one the 2 $12 throw pillows would wind up $6. Then she finally understood. Finished ringing her up and her total comes down to about $200. Then she gets mad about that because she doesn’t have that much. So we start voiding stuff. We get it down to $150 or so (oh and 2 of the items she decided she didn’t want were the 2 throw pillows). She’s not happy she spent that much but she pays and leaves with her big totes full of junk (she walked). The is was about 8:30 and we don’t close until 10.
I guess it was around 9:40, I was doing something behind the registers and my cashier just finished checking someone out so she was going to go do her night duties and she stopped and said “Oh my god, the crazy lady is back.” SA came and stood next to me at the register and the lady came stomping into the store screaming that we were stealing from her. Apparently she walked a mile to the gas station and sat and went through everything she bought. She said she called the police and told them that we charged her for items that she didn’t buy. That she has never stolen from the store and that we were cruel and evil for stealing from her. I’m just standing there confused knowing she didn’t get charged for anything extra because I was right there. She threw her bags back on the register and said she wanted all her money back. She pulled out her receipt and kept pointing to items that she said she didn’t buy. 2 $8 canvas totes (she was carrying all of her crap in them), “some sort of solar light” (it was a pair of $10 black leggings), and one other big thing for $12. All in all, I ended up refunding her $33 dollars. She was not double charged for any item, nor was she charged for any item that she didn’t actually get. So as she’s packing her shit back up into one canvas tote (she returned one and kept one) she starts ranting about how “he” (not me) has taken so much from her and that we need to get our shit together and make him fix what’s broken with store. Then throughout the whole time she’s still complaining that I told her the blanket and throw pillows were all 1/2 off. The poor 18 year old sales associate I was working with was on the verge of tears the whole time. She was afraid that she really did screw up and that the police were gonna come. I called our SM and told him what happened. He said that if she did actually call the police that he had our backs because he knows we didn’t do anything wrong. I guess that’s just another day working for DG and dealing with the looney toons that shop there.
TL/DR: Lady came in and bought $150 worth of crap and showed up an hour later claiming that we stole money from her by charging her for items she didn’t get and that she called the cops on us.

I called our SM and told him what happened. He said that if she did actually call the police that he had our backs because he knows we didn’t do anything wrong. I guess that’s just another day working for DG and dealing with the looney toons that shop there.
TL/DR: Lady came in and bought $150 worth of crap and showed up an hour later claiming that we stole money from her by charging her for items she didn’t get and that she called the cops on us.

Reviews🔗Tactical 600D Polyester Weight Vest for Fitness and Traininghttps://preview.redd.it/br5bk6tpbw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=015091470398febf1fd89677808c312ae2c84ceb Lately, I've been training for various outdoor endurance activities and needed something to carry the extra weights with me. That's when I discovered the 5.11 Tactical TacTec Trainer Weight Vest. I've used the vest quite a few times now, and I can confidently say that it's been a game-changer for me. First off, the vest is built with 600D polyester, making it extremely durable and resistant to wear and tear. On top of that, it fits most 5.11 and Rogue weight plates, as well as the 5.11 TacTec Weight Plate Sandbag. Its adjustable yoke shoulder straps, combined with breathable mesh padding and body pads, allow the vest to support additional weight without being overly restrictive. The stretch cummerbund keeps everything secure and ensures a perfect fit, regardless of the user's body type. In addition, it features MOLLE compatibility, which can be incredibly useful when carrying extra gear. It's even compatible with the 5.11 PC Convertible Hydration Carrier! As someone who loves the freedom to access my necessary accessories, I appreciate the vest's front admin pocket and the loop laser-cut and web MOLLE platforms. These features have made life so much easier when I need to quickly reach for my energy bars or extra water. The vest, however, does have a couple of downsides. I've noticed that the Velcro attachment system could be more secure, and occasionally the attachment coords fall out. Also, the vest isn't designed for users with a lower torso – it may not cover the whole chest depending on the wearer's height. Overall, the 5.11 Tactical TacTec Trainer Weight Vest has been a fantastic addition to my training routine, making it easier to carry the extra weight while maintaining the necessary level of comfort and functionality. Despite the minor drawbacks, it's a remarkable piece of gear that I'd highly recommend for anyone looking to improve their outdoor endurance training. 🔗Versatile 5.11 Tactical Packable Raid Vesthttps://preview.redd.it/kivyvwaqbw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=525bd35d8067c6d485afbaef88517ae3de613f4d As a regular user of the 5.11 Tactical Packable Raid Vest, let me tell you about my experience with this versatile and durable vest. While on patrol, the vest proved to be an excellent addition to my gear, providing easy accessibility to my equipment. One of the key highlights of this vest for me was the flexibility it offered. The vest was designed to be lightweight and breathable, making it perfect for those long, hot summer days. The sleeveless design also allowed for unrestricted arm movement, making it a great choice for an outdoor tactical vest. However, one downside I noticed during my experience was the lack of concealed weapon access. Though the vest offered easy access to my equipment, the placement of the pockets made it harder to conceal my weapon when I needed to. A modification, such as side access zippers, would have been a great addition to improve the concealed weapon carrying capabilities. Overall, the 5.11 Tactical Packable Raid Vest has made a valuable addition to my gear collection. With its sleek design, easy accessibility, and lightweight materials, it provided comfort and versatility during my operations. I would highly recommend this vest to any officer in a similar line of work. 🔗Reflective 5.11 Tactical 5-Point Breakaway Vest - Weather-Resistant Polyester Designhttps://preview.redd.it/cr6jusiqbw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b76c9388c9a1e8c877602dd502c1168413223a34 Last week, while making my way through a bustling construction site, I had the chance to put the 5.11 Tactical 5-Point Breakaway Vest to the test. The sleeveless yellow vest was instantly noticeable, with its 3M reflective tape detailing providing a subtle yet essential touch of safety. I felt comforted by the vest's weather-resistant build, knowing it would protect me from harsh climates. Wearing the vest throughout the day, I appreciated how the polyester fabric kept me relaxed and comfortable. Unfortunately, the vest didn't fit perfectly, and I frequently had to adjust the tabs by my sides. Additionally, there was a minor inconvenience as I found the mic loops on each shoulder a bit too snug for my earpieces. However, these drawbacks were outweighed by the vest's reflective detailing, weather resistance, and convenient pockets. All in all, it was a decent addition to my safety gear for the day, and overall, I found the 5.11 Tactical 5-Point Breakaway Vest to be a practical and visible choice for any busy construction site. 🔗5.11 Tactical Khaki Vest: Lightweight, Functional, and Versatilehttps://preview.redd.it/s258mitqbw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=302e6fe001d6e5a409442d1e9e3151662e8f7e5a Imagine stepping into the world of law enforcement, sportsmen, and outdoor enthusiasts, where functionality meets versatility. Meet the 5.11 Tactical Vest - a wearable accessory designed to be your ultimate companion for various situations, from fishing to a shooting competition. I had the privilege of trying this vest that has been praised by many, and I must say, it delivered on its promises. The first thing I noticed while unboxing was the soft cotton canvas fabric that felt surprisingly comfortable, even on those warm summer days. This vest is not for the faint of heart; it's built for durability, featuring quad stitching and bartacking at key stress points. I must admit, it provided a secure grip and held up remarkably well throughout all my outdoor adventures. But, being a tactical vest, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. The vest does weigh a bit more than you'd expect, and it might hinder some movement during certain activities. Additionally, the absence of a holster in the package is an inconvenience that you'll need to address separately. That being said, the 5.11 Tactical Vest is perfect for those who take their gear seriously and require ample storage for all their essentials. Its concealed pockets make it ideal for concealed carry, ensuring you're always prepared for anything. So, whether you're on duty or off duty, this vest can go anywhere with you, providing not only functionality but also a stylish touch. In conclusion, the 5.11 Tactical Vest is an excellent investment for those who require performance and durability in their gear. With its numerous pockets and versatile design, it has proven to be a reliable companion in both professional and personal settings. While there are some minor drawbacks, such as weight and the absence of a holster, they do not outweigh the vest's overall quality and performance. 🔗5.11 Tactical Fast-Tac Vest for Menhttps://preview.redd.it/wmqxt0frbw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b8af9e8767dfaa156e30ebd0de3516804531cf32 Recently, I had the chance to try out the 5.11 Tactical Men's Fast-Tac Vest in Black, a size small. From the get-go, it caught my attention with its plethora of pockets – 13 to be exact. The adjustable side tabs at the waist ensured a snug fit for me, even when I layered it over my t-shirt. The lightweight construction was a major highlight as I didn't feel bulky or weighed down while wearing it. One of the most noticeable features was the vented back seam, designed to keep me cool during intense situations. It certainly proved effective when I tested it in humid conditions. The ripstop tephlon fabric also proved to be quite tough – it stood up well against scratches and water splashes, justifying its top-quality label. However, there were a couple of areas where it could have been improved. Firstly, the sizing seemed a tad large, although it did not hinder the usability. Secondly, I found the front fastened pocket a bit too tight for carrying larger items. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Fast-Tac Vest delivered on most aspects and has earned its place among the best in the market. It's a perfect choice for those who look for functionality, versatility, and quality in one package. 🔗5.11 Tactical QR Plate Carrier: Adjustable Vest for Versatile Field Usehttps://preview.redd.it/xnec3kkrbw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5fed4f304423e2f6e949d7b2898ceec9dcc20134 I recently tried the 5.11 Tactical QR Plate Carrier, and let me tell you, it's an impressive piece of gear. The patented Sierra Bravo Slide quick release buckle makes it easy to get on and off, while the TAC-LAM laminate laser cut MOLLE system allows for the easy attachment of various accessories. The low profile Hypalon shoulder straps and removable padded shoulder shrouds are comfortable and provide breathability, and the semi-rigid laser-cut cummerbund with adjustable rear hook/loop system offers a great fit. One issue I faced was the shoulder straps being quite wide, which might be a problem for some users. Additionally, I noticed a lack of compatibility with other plate carriers, which might limit its usage for certain individuals. However, overall, I found the QR Plate Carrier to be a high-quality product that provides a comfortable and secure carrying experience. 🔗5.11 Tactical MultiCam Plate Carrier with Advanced Featureshttps://preview.redd.it/fvv2ftxrbw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8718315536588253e9a334ebbef50e6bd3073cdd Being the proud owner of a 5.11 Tactical TacTec Plate Carrier, I can say with confidence that it's one of the most comfortable plate carriers I've ever worn. The construction of this rugged piece is well-thought-out, with padded yoke shoulder straps and a unique weight distribution system. The perforated front and back panels not only look sleek but also allow for easy airflow, keeping me cool during hectic situations. One aspect that stood out to me was the easy range of motion, particularly in the shoulder area. The innovative design allows for a streamlined look that's both functional and comfortable. The plate carrier can hold up to medium/large ballistic plates and features a low-profile grab-drag handle, which is always a plus in the field. Another great feature of this product is the quick-release cable escape system on the back. In the heat of the moment, it's crucial to have an easy escape option, and this feature certainly delivers. That being said, there are a couple of elements that could use some work. While the side panels offer a nice aesthetic touch, they could be designed to provide more overall versatility. Additionally, it would be useful if the straps and velcro could be adjusted more precisely – the one-size-fits-all approach can only go so far. In conclusion, the 5.11 Tactical TacTec Plate Carrier is a solid choice for those looking for a comfortable, functional, and stylish plate carrier. While there are a few areas that could use improvement, overall, I've been satisfied with my purchase and would highly recommend it to others.

The Top 19 Best 500 Yard Scope
Reviews🔗Leupold Gold Ring 12-40x60mm HD Folded Light Path Spotting Scopehttps://preview.redd.it/mdldskr2bw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9e079a083f6a39fb4088b4de9417347ad65b46ca I recently got my hands on the Leupold Gold Ring 12-40x60mm HD Spotting Scope, and I must say it's a game-changer! This little powerhouse boasts an Extra Low Dispersion Optical System, which maximizes color fidelity and contrast. It provides an incredible image across a wide field of view, all with best-in-class eye relief for easy viewing with or without eyeglasses. One feature that really stood out for me was the Folded Light Path (FLP) system. Instead of using prisms, this system employs mirrors to compress a long optical path into half its length, making the scope incredibly compact and portable. Another highlight is its magnesium housing. This lightweight material packs a serious punch when it comes to durability, making it ideal for rough outdoor conditions. And don't even get me started on the 100% waterproof and fog proof capabilities - this thing can brave any weather! However, one issue I encountered was with the focus knob. It's extremely stiff and doesn't change smoothly as you adjust the magnification. It took me quite a few tries to get used to it. Additionally, there's no diopter adjustment, but the good eye relief somewhat compensates for that. Despite these minor drawbacks, I've been thoroughly impressed by the Leupold Gold Ring HD Spotting Scope. Its top-notch optical performance combined with its rugged construction makes it a strong contender in the realm of spotting scopes. If you're in the market for one, this could be an excellent investment. 🔗TruGlo Crossbow Scope with Unisex Camo Designhttps://preview.redd.it/u5qz5t83bw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1aefd36f3b6079fc79e1e48bfb2f86c6ca9968e8 I've recently had the chance to try out the TruGlo 4x32 Rangefinding/Trajectory Compensating Crossbow Scope, a nifty piece of equipment for enthusiastic crossbow users like me. The scope's main highlight was its ability to find the range and calculate the correct trajectory for my crossbow bolts. In my experience, this feature proved to be quite handy in my local archery range, particularly for those days when the wind and temperature were unstable. One of the things that stood out to me was the scope's robustness. It was designed to handle the harsh conditions of the outdoors, as evidenced by the sturdy aluminum body and the shock-resistant construction. This scope also offered a generous 4-inch eye relief, a feature that helped protect my eyes during those blustery hunting sessions. The scope's lenses were fully-coated, making them highly resistant to glare, a common concern for crossbow users shooting in low-light conditions. Additionally, the durable leavespring for windage and elevation adjustments were a welcomed bonus, allowing me to finetune my shots with ease. On the downside, one of the screws on the scope rings was stripped, a minor issue that wasn't a deal-breaker. I also discovered that the scope wasn't rated specifically for a particular crossbow speed. To achieve optimal accuracy, I had to adjust the scope manually, which was a bit tricky and time-consuming. Regardless of these minor downsides, the TruGlo 4x32 Rangefinding/Trajectory Compensating Crossbow Scope proved to be an essential piece of equipment in my hunting arsenal. Its ease of use, durable construction, and helpful features make it an excellent choice for anyone seeking to upgrade their crossbow hunting experience. 🔗Garmin Xero X1i Crossbow Scope: Advanced Hunting Technologyhttps://preview.redd.it/dynqngl3bw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=64c30a845a6256c0e2988047f7c6902739f980ed A few months ago, I was introduced to the Garmin Xero X1i Crossbow Scope and have been using it on a regular basis. It's an impressive piece of equipment, not just for its sleek design, but also for its exceptional features. The 3.5x magnification was a game-changer for me, providing a clear and precise view of my targets. The Laser Locate feature, which allows me to mark the spot of my shot and other important points after the shot, has proven to be incredibly useful in my hunting experiences. One of the standout features of the Xero X1i is the auto-ranging digital scope, which I found to be incredibly accurate in determining the distance to my game targets. With a range of up to 250 yards for game targets and 500 yards for reflective targets, I can confidently aim and shoot with precision, even in low light situations. The aim points adjust automatically to the brightness, making it easy to see the target unobstructed. The Steady Aim and Aim Point Level features provide additional confidence in my shots, ensuring that each one will hit its mark. However, I did notice that the scope is quite large, which can be a bit of a drawback when maneuvering in tight hunting spaces. The price point is also relatively high compared to other similar products, but I believe the quality and performance justify the investment. Overall, the Garmin Xero X1i Crossbow Scope has become an essential part of my hunting gear, providing me with the accuracy and confidence needed to make successful shots. 🔗Revolutionary Ravin Xero X1i Integrated Crossbow Scopehttps://preview.redd.it/0iw7ma14bw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0166ea8cbc2d0e843ad41c4c676d588ee3d8b9f7 The Ravin Xero X1i Crossbow Scope by Garmin quickly became my go-to after its impressive features caught my eye. I've always had a bit of trouble getting the distance right when aiming with a crossbow, but with its built-in rangefinding and digital auto-ranging, it made everything so much easier. I loved the 3.5x magnification, which allowed me to spot my target without any hassle. But the best part was definitely the Target Lock technology, which let me know when the scope was locked on a target with consistent readings. It made every shot feel like a guaranteed bullseye, and I'm really pleased with the accuracy it offered. However, the scope was a bit heavy, and carrying it around for extended periods was quite tiring. Also, while the digital display was easy to read, the interface could've been a bit more user-friendly for faster adjustments. Overall, the Ravin Xero X1i is an impressive piece of technology that definitely gives me an edge in my hunting game. 🔗High-Quality 25-75x70 Spotting Scope with Phone Adapterhttps://preview.redd.it/l2psi1q4bw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=992396d77771c982d14f3433d48cef50f75394a7 In my pursuit of a new spotting scope that could enhance my wildlife viewing and target shooting experiences, I stumbled upon the SVBONY SV28 Spotting Scopes. From the moment I opened the package, I was impressed by its sleek exterior and sturdy construction. One feature that stood out to me was its range of magnification capabilities - the SV28 allowed me to adjust the magnification according to my target distance, providing crystal clear image quality. The lens was exceptionally sharp, making it perfect for both target shooting and observing nature. Another aspect I appreciated was the ease of focus adjustment, ensuring that every detail was visible no matter the distance. However, I have to say that the tripod that came with the unit seemed a bit lackluster compared to my usual tripod. I ended up using my own sturdier tripod, but it was still nice to have the option included in the package. Additionally, while the phone adapter was a nice addition, I felt it could have been more user-friendly. Overall, the SVBONY SV28 Spotting Scopes exceeded my expectations, offering outstanding clarity and exceptional value for its price. Though there were a few minor quibbles, I would definitely recommend it to others in search of a reliable, affordable spotting scope for their outdoor adventures. 🔗Vortex Recon T 15x50 Tactical Scope with 15x Magnificationhttps://preview.redd.it/hz38hk35bw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e507b65253bd93f0dd163eb8ff06acede5f25aa0 I recently had the pleasure of trying out the Vortex Recon T, a versatile attachment scope designed for field surveillance and range estimating. This compact tactical piece of equipment was easy to attach to my belt or strap for quick deployment, and it proved to be quite useful in a variety of situations. One of the standout features for me was the bright, sharp image it provided, even in low-light conditions. The 15x magnification and the 50mm objective lens diameter were perfect for capturing every detail I needed to see. I appreciated the easy-to-read distance measuring scale as well, which allowed for accurate approximations when targeting objects at varying distances. However, there were a couple of drawbacks I encountered while using the Recon T. The eye relief did require some adjustment on my part, as I found it a bit challenging to get just right for my comfort. Additionally, the objective lens size seemed a bit smaller than I expected, especially considering other Vortex binox models with larger lenses. Despite these minor drawbacks, I still found the Vortex Recon T to be an overall excellent product, well-suited for its intended purpose. If you're in the market for a reliable, powerful scope that's perfect for field surveillance and range estimating, this may be the one for you. 🔗Leupold VX-SS Spotting Scope 20-60x80mm: Compact, High-Performance Scope for Precise Adjustments and Magnificationhttps://preview.redd.it/3nsr2rj5bw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5dcaa843734d5c92d6cfd9378f399fe32cf2fcf5 Recently, I had the chance to try out the Leupold GR 20-60x80mm Shadow Gray spotting scope, and let me tell you, it was quite a sight to behold. Whether you're on the hunt for distance or just looking for that perfect view, this scope delivers. One of the standout features for me was its exceptional magnification. With a range of 20-60x, I could really zoom in on some far off details and still maintain a clear, crisp image. Plus, the folded light path system made it all the more impressive - just look at that compact design! However, it wasn't all smooth sailing. A couple times, I found myself struggling with some of the finer adjustments - but that might just be because my hands aren't as steady as they used to be. And of course, I appreciate the durable construction. With its waterproof, fog-resistant, and shock-proof build, you can trust that this scope will hold up no matter what kind of weather or conditions it faces. There's just so much to love about this scope - from the impeccable clarity to the user-friendly controls. If you're in the market for a spotting scope, I'd definitely recommend giving this one a try. 🔗Premium Spotting Scope with Folded Light Path Technology and 100% Waterproof Constructionhttps://preview.redd.it/ll79efv5bw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c8d7074e4a219fb27d6f5cc17b2374d48b069652 During a recent trip to the mountains, I had the chance to put Leupold's Gold Ring 12-40x60mm HD Spotting Scope to the test. While the gray housing looked sleek, it was the scope's impressive durability that truly stood out. I had read that Leupold had implemented a proprietary nitrogen fill process to ensure a 100% waterproof and fog-proof performance. I eagerly put the scope to the test, by inadvertently dipping it into a small stream. To my delight, it continued to function flawlessly, proving the effectiveness of this innovative feature. A few days later, I took the scope to a nearby wildlife preserve to spot endangered birds in their natural habitat. The scope's impressive magnification was an absolute game-changer. It allowed me to observe the delicate intricacies of these fascinating creatures, from the texture of their feathers to their unique flight patterns. The extra low dispersion optical system played a pivotal role in delivering stunningly vivid and bright colors, contributing to an overall remarkable viewing experience. The tripod-ready feature also proved to be quite practical in my adventure, as it enabled me to easily stabilize the scope for extended periods of time, even under challenging conditions. The prism-less folding light path, which uses mirrors to compress the long optical system, was another standout feature. It significantly reduced the scope's weight and made it more compact, making it convenient to carry anywhere. Although the price of this Gold Ring scope is significantly higher than most other brands, it's worth every penny. Its remarkable performance ensures that it remains a valuable addition to my gear, even amidst the vast competition in the market. With a plethora of customizable settings, the scope serves as an unparalleled guide for spotting and tracking game, be it for hunting or observational purposes. While the Leupold 20x60x80 Gold Ring might seem expensive, the extraordinary visual performance it delivers makes it truly worth the investment. 🔗Advanced 15-45x60 FDE T Series Scope with ED Prime Glass and Mil-Hash Reticlehttps://preview.redd.it/ev4u7hb6bw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a11fdefe9716f5cd29de44643220aa818918910 I've been using this Bushnell T spotting scope in my outdoor activities, and it's been quite the experience. The Mil-Hash reticle works seamlessly with the Mil-Base riflescope reticle, making zeroing a breeze. The scope has a heavy-duty, militaristic feel with a rubberized coating. The Picatinny rail mounts are a nice touch, and they're also compatible with a red dot sight for added accuracy. The optical clarity is what one can expect at this price point, but it does the job well enough. The lens caps make it a breeze to protect the glass from dust, debris, and other environmental conditions. The only issue I had with the front lens cap is the lack of a lanyard attachment, making it easily misplaced. The case, on the other hand, left me concerned about Bushnell's overall quality. The Velcro stitching on the lens flap failed on the first day, and the scope case seems too small for the scope. The magnification setting ring could use some improvement as well, but overall, it's an acceptable addition. Despite these minor drawbacks, the scope has proven to be durable and holds up well under rough outdoor conditions. Its compact design and easy-to-handle eyepiece make it a top choice for avid spotters. With a solid construction, good image quality, and an attractive price point, this Bushnell T series spotting scope is worth considering for your next outdoor adventure. 🔗High-Performance Riflescope with Compact Designhttps://preview.redd.it/blk6usp6bw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9178976e9527b12bba39b7afed0e982da4b69a18 As an avid birdwatcher, I've been using the Vortex Razor HD 13-39x56 Spotting Scope for a while now, and it's been nothing short of remarkable. The compact design makes it super convenient to carry around, and I love how lightweight it feels. The clarity and sharpness of the image are outstanding, making it so easy to spot even the tiniest details on my feathered friends. The adjustable magnification is another feature I've grown fond of. It's so effortless to switch between different magnification levels, giving me that extra edge when I need to zoom in on a specific bird. I also appreciate the ergonomic shape of the eyepiece, making it comfortable to use for extended periods. However, the one downside I've noticed is the slight difficulty in focusing. Sometimes, it takes a bit of finesse to get the image looking razor-sharp, but once you've got it sorted, it's smooth sailing from there. Overall, the Vortex Razor HD 13-39x56 Spotting Scope has been an absolute game-changer for me. Its superb optics, convenience, and ease of use have made it a go-to tool for all my birdwatching adventures, and I can't imagine going back to using anything else. 🔗Vortex Razor HD Spotting Scope: 10-39x56mm, Rangefinder & Edge-to-Edge Clarityhttps://preview.redd.it/7m0u2e27bw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ee92972c303a6e02fe83b2e3b039834b6195c29e I've had the chance to test out the Vortex Razor HD 13-39x56 Angled Spotting Scope, and let me tell you, it's been quite the adventure. This spotting scope truly stands out for its ability to seamlessly fit into the backpacks of today's weight-conscious hunters. The focus wheel is a game changer, providing easy access to the scope's impressive field of view. If you're like me and love tinkering with accessories, the spotting scope's Arca-Swiss compatibility is an invaluable bonus. The high-quality optics deliver crisp edge-to-edge colors and brilliant sharpness, allowing me to spot even the tiniest of twitches from my subjects. While it may take some time to get used to the focus knob when using the neoprene cover, the overall performance and compactness of the Razor HD more than make up for it. Buyer's GuideWelcome to the buyer's guide for 500 yard scopes. This guide will provide you with essential details and considerations to help you make an informed decision when purchasing a 500-yard scope. We will discuss important features, considerations, and general advice about this product category. Note that no specific product picks or external resource links will be mentioned in this guide.Understanding MagnificationMagnification plays a crucial role in the performance of a 500-yard scope. The scope's magnification is usually indicated by a combination of numbers, such as 4-14x or 4-16x. The first number represents the minimum magnification, while the second number represents the maximum magnification.For a 500-yard scope, a magnification range of 4x-16x is generally recommended. This range provides enough magnification for accurate shooting at 500 yards while maintaining a wide enough field of view for proper target acquisition and situational awareness. https://preview.redd.it/i5fwcaz9bw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0e86fbaee3cc6076603da0b61af0873d1377144f Objective Lens SizeThe objective lens size of a 500-yard scope is another important factor to consider. The objective lens is the front lens of the scope, which gathers light and makes the image more visible. A bigger objective lens allows more light in, resulting in a brighter and clearer image.Typically, a 500-yard scope has an objective lens size ranging from 44mm to 50mm. This size is suitable for low light conditions and provides excellent image quality. Reticle ChoiceReticles are the crosshair or grid-like lines inside the scope's lens that help you aim at your target. Different reticle types serve various purposes, so it's essential to choose one that suits your hunting or shooting style.Common reticle choices for a 500-yard scope include the mil-dot reticle, duplex reticle, and leupold mark 4 reticle. Research and choose a reticle that best fits your needs, as it can significantly impact your accuracy and ease of use. Lens CoatingsLens coatings, such as anti-reflective or anti-fogging, can enhance the overall performance of a 500-yard scope. These coatings reduce glare and improve contrast, providing a clearer and sharper image.When shopping for a 500-yard scope, look for models with high-quality lens coatings. Some manufacturers may offer additional coatings, such as scratch-resistant or waterproof coatings, which can further improve the longevity of the scope. https://preview.redd.it/v9i5c49abw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c28def4a3086b3c8de1185d330f68062d5d5520f Durability and Weather ResistanceA 500-yard scope should be durable and capable of withstanding various weather conditions. Look for models made of high-quality materials, such as aircraft-grade aluminum, which offer excellent durability and resistance to harsh weather conditions.Additionally, consider scopes with waterproof and fog-resistant features, ensuring that your scope will function properly even in wet or humid environments. Optics Quality and ClarifyThe quality of the optics is crucial for accurate shooting at 500 yards. Look for high-quality scopes with fully multi-coated lenses, which provide excellent light transmission and image clarity.Additionally, opt for scopes with a high-quality glass and precise lens alignment, ensuring that the image remains sharp and clear throughout the entire magnification range. Weight and SizeWeight and size are essential factors to consider when purchasing a 500-yard scope, as they can impact the scope's ease of use and portability.Generally, a 500-yard scope should weigh between 15 to 20 ounces and have a length of approximately 14 to 16 inches. Opt for a scope that strikes a balance between weight, size, and performance to suit your specific needs. https://preview.redd.it/fu8mvsoabw3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6cae38359aac84e82b98dadd074a18007ac9b584 Customer Reviews and RatingsBefore making a purchase, always take the time to read customer reviews and ratings for a 500-yard scope. These reviews can provide valuable insights into the scope's performance, durability, and ease of use.Keep an eye out for consistent positive feedback, as it is a strong indicator of a high-quality scope that meets or exceeds customer expectations.

2024.06.01 07:23 Gorganzoolaz Some ideas.
Hey folks, after re-watching the gameplay overview I had some ideas I wanted to share.
Edit: I only wanted initially to share the first few ideas but I started rambling and decided to keep going lol, most of these are just throwing random ideas at the wall and I don't expect them to be implemented at all but thought it'd be fun to share them for the sake of discussion. Enjoy.
1: train station or bus stop - used to travel to different neighbourhoods or "Districts" it takes time to reach different districts so a Para will basically vanish for like an hour or more once they enter the train or bus before they emerge at another district.
2: Districts - Given our Paras will likely be living in a city, it makes sense there are different districts that offer different kinds of work. Jobs in these districts have different benefits and drawbacks like being higher paying but more stressful or offer benefits but can effect a Para's health. For example, a business district where corporate offices are, an industrial district or an agricultural district on the outskirts of the city.
3: benefits and drawbacks of location - we all want to live within a quick walking distance from work (or at least we want out Paras to do so) however I feel like there should be benefits and drawbacks for this in equal measure. For example. To live in the business district, rent/apartment prices are through the roof, so if your Para is a run of the mill office drone they're gonna need to commute, but an executive or CEO lives in their business district luxury apartment or even penthouse (either paying the high rent or as a perk of the job). The industrial district is cheap as dirt but rife with crime where Paras would be rightfully hesitant to go outside at night. The agricultural district isnt cheap but is affordable with wide open spaces and clean air allowing for Paras to farm, earning thrir own money but services available in the inner city aren't available there. So no ordering pizza for dinner and your Para better get some self-reliance skills cos the repair workers are days away, not minutes or hours and emergency services are hours away.
4: crime - crime irl isn't just break-ins in the dead of night, you might get a group of thieves breaking into your house in the middle of the day when your Para's vehicle isn't present so they think they're gone. They break in by either picking the door lock if you remembered to lock it or by throwing a rock through the window or glass door. As well as this you might get mugged while out at night, so investing in some pepper spray and security glass windows and doors (or if you can't afford that, multi-lock doors and barred windows) if you live in a bad part of town.
5: effects on Paras like drunkenness - your Para just got a promotion! Time to par-tay! Go out to the local bar, get sloshed, make a fool of yourself on the dance floor, make out with a stranger and stumble home in the early hours of the morning, your Para's inhibitions are gone meaning not only are there more interactions to have with other Paras and objects in the world (which, if they're not similarly sloshed won't appreciate it one bit) but your Paras become harder to control, if you give them a command but either it takes too long for them to get to the location of the command or something catches their eye they'll cancel it and do something else, making the stumble home an adventure in and of itself! But having another Para to lean on makes it a lot more manageable. However the next day brings the hangover, when they wake up all stats are reduced to 1 and they slowly get them back throughout the day to simulate a hangover. Coffee can speed this up. The embarrassment though? There's no quick and easy fix for that. Especially if your Para hooked up and must make the morning walk of shame.
6: police - Police should be more than just "show up and beat up the burglar" if an item was stolen you should be able to make a report, the longer the time between the item's theft reduces the % chance the police will be able to recover it, if you report it directly after it was taken and your Para saw the thief, you have a 90% chance to get it back, but if you left it for a day and didn't see the thief, it's 5%. Also if your neighbour is being a loud jerk blasting music all night when your Para needs to be at work in the morning, you could call in a noise complaint.
7: cardboard boxes at the start - during the gameplay reveal it showed a brand new Para with a bunch of boxes around their apartment, this got me thinking of how they could be utilised. I figured they could actually be sorta like semi-randomised low cost items to furnish your house with the only parameters being that they give you the basics you need to start a life like a bed, wardrobe, a table, a chair for each household Para, a fridge, oven, cabinet, toilet and shower + a few random items like a bookcase and a couple rugs. All very cheap variants, the logic being that these are all cheap second hand items that tend to be mismatched, encouraging players to do away with them as needed.
8: haunting - if Paras after death can haunt a place, let's not make then Sims ghosts but make the place of their remains generally "haunted" those with traits that don't make them immune to supernatural paranoia start getting, well, paranoid like they're constantly being watched, small items will occasionally fall off shelves and tables in the dead of night, random footsteps could be heard again in the dead of night, shadowy figures might appear and vanish in dark areas, closed doors could swing open etc... Paras who are effected by such things will need to pick up the urns of dead Paras and take them to a cemetery or contact an exorcist to drive the ghost from their house. Which, on that note....
9: Cemeteries - Cemetaries should start off as a largely empty lot save for the grave keeper's house/office, in-world reason being that this is a newly established cemetery as the old one is full. Loved ones aren't inturred simply by taking the urn out of the Para's inventory and putting them on the ground, instead the Para takes them to the grave keeper who for a fee will take them off the Para's hands and ask them when they'd like the funeral to be held. Post-funeral can include a wake which is like a party but loud music and alcohol are severely frowned upon and as long as such taboos aren't breached the party's rating (if there is such a thing) will by default be "it was OK, 5/10" and can be increased by offering food and drinks.
10: Schooling - we should be able to enroll toddlers into pre-school and there should be a way to get our kids into private or boarding school. Preschool gives your toddler basic social and logical skills as well as freeing up your adult Paras to go back to work and it's cheaper than a nanny. Private school, while expensive, gives your children both more skills and the friends they make are the children of bosses around the city, giving them a massive leg-up if they go to work for their friend's parent's company and giving your adult Paras a way to get to meet their children's friend's parents too which can likewise give them a big career boost too. Boarding school gives the highest skill gain in areas you select depending on the school you send them too and your Para's children's friends are the creme of the crop, the children of the most elite, if your Para is in business, their kid is rubbing shoulders with the children of the CEO and basically guarantees their career will shoot up at least a few levels almost immediately and before long they'll be on the board of directors. You know what they say, it's not what you know it's who you know. But remember, getting your kid into a private boarding school costs several hundred $$$ a day. You won't be able to afford it on a Barrista's salary.
11: A bad crowd - your Para might take on a... less civil path in life, a life of crime. Starting out as a petty thief or street thug, their life is one of high risk and high reward. This line of "work" isn't gained through a newspaper but through 2 ways. 1: you find the local crime boss and ask for a chance to prove yourself in which case they'll tell you to rough up or steal from a wealthy Para in town or 2: you make connections after being arrested while in prison. After you get out you may get a call from a fellow former inmate saying "hey I hear you know (inmate name) and he says you're a good guy, come down to (location) we may have work for you". The life of crime is one of high risk and high reward, the rich looking guy you shake down on his morning stroll might net you a few thousand in one go but you run the risk of getting pepper sprayed which effects you until you wash it out or getting arrested or even worse, of failing the boss. Ignoring or failing a task from the boss carries with it a heavy burden of risk, however you can become an informant and if you succeed in getting incriminating Intel on the boss and telling the police you may go into witness protection. What's that? You get put in a random new town with a new name, you keep your skills and money but your old connections, your job, your most prized possessions etc... are all gone.
12: job qualifications - as my irl uncle says "get them Quals, son!" The jobs you can get with no qualifications to your name are typically low paying, low demand jobs with not much room for advancement and after all expenses are taken care of, not a great amount left for spending. You might get higher pay for working night shift but that's not where the real money is to be found, for that you need qualifications for jobs with the potential to advance and make something of yourself! For this you need to go to either community college or college/university. While community college would give you the qualifications and skills needed for higher paying jobs with less stress like as a tradesman or being able to start your own business (doing so is not expected at launch), college/university opens the door to the high life of extremely high paying jobs (starting at the ground level) from business CEOs to jobs in media and more. While I have zero expectation of these things being implemented on launch, they could be off-map sites or rabbit holes until then.
13: story progression - last and certainly far from least, I wanna see the world grow and change around my Para, for other Paras to at least give the illusion that they're living their own lives separate from my household's, I want my para's friends and neighbours to be having kids, getting promotions or switching jobs, for some of my Para's childhood friends to wind up in prison or making bank or being the chef at their favorite restaurant. The last thing we want to see is a stagnant neighbourhood where a Para's best friend when they were a child becomes their grandchild's best friend without them aging a day.
Phew, that's about it, what do you guys think?

2024.06.01 07:10 yxkuo Hacks S3E9 Recap and Thoughts (Long Read)
Apologies for the absolutely insane number of words, got carried away trying to compensate for being slower than usual with my recap.
The cold open for the finale has a nice little parallel to the cold open in S1E2, which similarly has Deborah walk in to Marty who’s in a somewhat compromising position with his trainer to deliver good news, although in this case her news is something they both celebrate, rather than a win she uses to gloat over Marty
Even though she’s in a much less combative place with Marty, Deborah still isn’t willing to admit that she came over to tell him the news in person and insists that she’s only there to return the key, showing the limited extent to which she is willing to open up even to people she’s known for a long time.
Deborah and Marty doing the tango together to basically celebrate the news is quite cute and a fun way to kick off the episode
I do think it’s kind of sweet that Kathy is quite looking forward to Deborah’s visit, and J Smith Cameron plays up Kathy’s somewhat childlike excitement at this during the opening of the phone call
Nice to see Deborah making an effort to follow up after inviting Kathy for Christmas, committing to a sister’s weekend is a not insignificant step although it also becomes clear that she’s not 100% committed to it. Waiting for Kathy to call and then tell her there’s a change in plans instead of just straight up telling her isn’t a particularly nice thing to do
Deborah has a weird look on her face when Kathy brings up her parents at the mausoleum, which I initially thought was because she didn’t really like to reflect on the past, although on a rewatch it becomes clear it’s because she knows the truth about the mausoleum.
“She’s pivoting into being an adult” Found the way Kayla phrased this part of the child star to adult actor experience to be very funny. I guess the Bella Donaldson character is supposed to be a reference to people like Zendaya, Zac Efron and Selena Gomez (Cannes Best Actress winner!!???), Disney child stars who are trying to shed their past image and be taken as serious adult actors to varying degrees of success. Also the bit about getting awards buzz for an Aronofsky movie feels a bit like what happened/ was projected to happen with Sadie Sink and The Whale
Deborah watching her old Late Night tape and Ava seeing her do that is a nice callback to and reversal of S1E3, where it was Ava watching Deborah’s tape and discovering more about her past
I love Hannah Einbinder’s simple but sincere delivery of “I knew you would” as Ava, and the way Jean Smart lets just the tiniest smile play across Deborah’s lips in response to Ava’s belief in her
Ava being able to only write stuff for Deborah’s Late Night show and not any actual material of her own shows that even though it’s been a year plus since the S2 Finale she still has the same issue of Deborah being “the one with all the stories. What do I even have to say?”
Ava’s voice going up endearingly high when she says “This is gonna be amazing” is very cute, what a touching and lovely scene between Deborah and Ava showing the respect and admiration they have for each other. I’m sure that will continue for the rest of the finale!
How does a safe in the floor of the pool even work lol
Very fun comedy freaking out by Mark Indelicato as Damien, him becoming hysterical at the thought of becoming the new Marcus is hugely entertaining.
According to Hannah Einbinder and Jean Smart on Variety’s Award Circuit podcast, thy did shoot a scene for this episode where Marcus does tell Deborah that he’s leaving but it was cut from the episode. Honestly not sure what role Marcus will play next season and curious to see what the writers will do since it seems he’s going on a very different plotline than the rest of the show. If this was another show I’d say he’s being written out but from interviews and other behind the scenes material the cast and showrunners are fairly tight knit, so I’d imagine they’ll find a way which makes sense for Marcus to continue being around
Between this guest appearance as Bella Donaldson and the release of Lisa Frankenstein and Abigail, Kathryn Newton is quietly having a pretty cool 2024. She absolutely nails the passive-aggressive “nice” girl type that she’s asked to play here. Also the Zack and Cody mention is kind of neat since Newton starred along with Cole Sprouse in Lisa Frankenstein earlier this year, while the goat demon movie mentioned might possibly be a nod to Newton’s affinity for the horro horror adjacent genre?
Quite like this Jimmy/Kayla B plot, allows Meg Stalter to show a different/more emotional side to Kayla who’s usually just the very fun comedic relief. Her smiling nicely and trying to politely ward off Bella’s passive-aggressive “niceness” is such a deeply human character beat.
Deborah Margesson doesn’t quite have the same ring to it as Deborah Vance, so I guess that’s why she didn’t go back to her maiden name after the divorce.
Deborah moving her parent’s remains to Vegas and not telling Kathy for twenty plus years is absolutely deranged behaviour. “It was a corner plot” and “I used my art shipper!” are ridiculously bad responses to the situation, this being the last straw for Kathy is very understandable. Although in Deborah’s defence I guess the fact that she was willing to accompany Kathy to the mausoleum for what she knows to be a completely empty gesture is her deranged way of showing care for her sister and not wanting to hurt her feelings.
Also in hindsight Deborah lying to/not telling Kathy about their parents to avoid hurting her feelings and any conflict is good foreshadowing since that pretty much turns out to be what she does regarding Ava and the head writer job
Deborah’s look of absolute disdain/confusion after hearing the “going to the hardware store for milk” line is gold from Jean Smart
I think Kathy’s reaction to Deborah here and deciding that she’s had enough of her BS and not wanting to put herself through even more hurt in attempting to maintain a relationship is completely reasonable, really liked J Smith Cameron’s work here, as well as Jean Smart playing Deborah’s silent acceptance of this relationship blowing up yet again
Deborah standing alone in the mausoleum is a great shot
Kathy’s reaction to Deborah’s BS here serves as a great contrast to how Ava deals with Deborah’s BS later on in the episode, it truly takes someone special/equally deranged to want to continue being with Deborah despite all her flaws and the hurt she causes to those around her. To use some internet parlance, Kathy is unwilling to put up with Deborah’s freak, while Ava ends up being more than willing to match Deborah’s
Lewis Benton/ fake John Oliver’s line to Ava about her being the hardest-working person in the office is a nice reminder of how working with Deborah has changed Ava for the better in some ways by giving her a stronger work ethic
“Maybe our paths will cross again” Just speculating here, and maybe this would be too inside baseball of a storyline for a show that initially at least was about two people on the “outside” of the entertainment industry, but might there be a future storyline of Deborah competing against fake John Oliver for an Emmy? A recent Emmy rule change starting from the Emmys earlier this year means that Oliver no longer competes with the more traditional Late Night shows like Colbert, Kimmel, Meyers, The Daily Show etc prior to that this had been the case for the past ten or so years
Kayla being the funny one growing up as a defense mechanism against bullies like Bella is such a great character detail on the part of the writers, makes so much sense and explains so much about Kayla’s outlook and attitude
This conflict is so great because both Jimmy and Kayla do have a point. Obviously Jimmy standing up for Kayla who’s being bullied is a good thing for him to do as a friend, but Kayla’s also not wrong in feeling that Jimmy is kind of ignoring her work and being a bit patronising. Really liked how Meg Stalter plays Kayla’s hurt feelings in this scene, it’s a well-executed emotional beat for a generally comedic character. And this continues the throughline about whether Jimmy has what it takes/enough stones and guts to be in the business which was also seen in the back part of S2
Quite liked the scene between Deborah and Biff Cliff (what a name!), a pretty sobering reminder of the obstacles faced by women in entertainment and just how precarious making it in the business actually is, makes complete sense that it would spook Deborah to do what she does later on
I thought the Jimmy Page dating a 14 year old story was meant to be a jab and Jerry Seinfeld and his 17 year old girlfriend, but googled and found out that that was a true story too
I feel like the bit Ava has as a writer taking new headshots and the different treatment they receive compared to actors must be drawn from the real-life experiences of the writers/showrunners, it’s such a specific joke. That said I think if you asked a layperson to tell who’s a writer and who’s an actor from this Deadline photoshoot I think they’d be hard pressed to tell the difference (very complimentary).
Ava sharing her excitement over her “dream job” as head writer for Deborah with a random make-up artist is very endearing, and just makes what happens later on even more crushing
Deborah going to the exec meeting and slowly realising just how much is being invested in her is a great bit of reaction acting from Jean Smart, and further helps reinforce the pressure she’s under and explains her choices
Quite liked the scene of Deborah telling Ava that the network doesn’t want her as head writer, on first watch it seems like Deborah is just worried about how to break the bad news to Ava and let her down easy, but on rewatch it feels so obvious that Deborah is just lying through her teeth to Ava and struggling with it big time.
Jimmy’s “proposal” to Kayla on the plane is such a great comedic setpiece/skewing of the rom-con trope, everything from the overly-excited passenger who completely misreads the situation to Jimmy kneeling because the flight attendant says there’s no standing in the aisle is just perfect.
It’s also just a really good way to cap off the season long plot involving Jimmy and Kayla, we’ve seen throughout the season that they make a very good thing and that Kayla’s kind of a genius at this in her own unique way, very satisfying to see Jimmy finally recognise this and promote her. Jimmy and Kayla’s mentomentee relationship serves as a healthy contrast to Deborah and Ava,with Jimmy as a mentor who recognises the mentee’s contributions and is willing to make compromises (see his acceptance of Kayla’s three funny videos a day)
Jimmy’s voice going up absurdly high when he says “Leave us alone!!!” and “What is your deal” is fantastic comedic work from co-showrunner Paul W Downs, he’ll get Writing and Series Emmy nominations this year, but he should really be getting one for Supporting Actor too.
I guess if you want to nitpick you could say Ava running into Winnie is a very convenient thing to move the plot along, but I choose to look at is as a reminder that Ava has moved on up in the world since the end of S2 and is now at a place where she can get takeout from fancy places where a high-level network head might also dine
Ava’s look of betrayal and anger after realising that Deborah lied to her is great work from Hannah Einbinder
Deborah is reading a Churchill biography when Ava storms in
My god, Ava confronting Deborah is just a perfect perfect scene, the writing is so sharp and Jean Smart is fantastic at playing Deborah going into ice/hardened mode when being confronted, but what a tremendous performance by Hannah Einbinder. She just captures the mixture of betrayal, hurt and anger that Ava feels so naturally and powerfully
There’s so many callbacks and references to previous Deborah/Ava confrontations and scenes from across the show. Ava accusing Deborah of just doing the same thing is from their very first meeting S1E1 where she calls her a hack as well as from their argument in S1E10 when she calls her the same thing. The line about being “a shark or whatever” comes from S2E5 which is what Deborah’s retired comedian friend Susan describes her as, with Deborah later then telling Ava that “You’ve got to be a shark” at the end of S2E8. And Deborah’s advice to Ava to be ambitious and saying that she feels lonely when opening a champagne bottle comes from S3E5 (take that people who said the woods episode was pointless filler).
“You can be the woman behind the man behind the woman” What an unappealing job description, and also a sign of how far Ava has comes since the S2 finale when she was unwilling to take the credit for writing Deborah’s special. Now her time away from Deborah has allowed Ava the space to truly value herself, her achievements and be justifiably proud of them (she stresses her job at On The Contrary to Deborah back in S3E1 and stresses her co-producer role when in bed with Christina Hendricks in S3E6), and she’s no longer willing to accept this demotion and wants credit for her work.
“You’re already making decisions out of fear and you’ll keep doing it” A really cutting observation from Ava which completely nails what Deborah is doing, much like how she immediately clocks in S2E8 that Deborah is pushing her away because she’s afraid.
“It has to work. I’ve lost way too much for it not too” Deborah’s sentiment applies equally to Ava as it does to herself, and helps explain just why Ava would go to the the extremes she does later on
As much as the dialogue in the scene is great, this Deborah and Ava argument also hits hard because of the silent moments in between. The wordless ten seconds or so which rests entirely on Ava after Deborah says that she’s willing to lose her is just tremendous stuff from Hannah Einbinder, all the hurt plays across her face and Einbinder is simply terrific in making the audience feel the deep hurt and sense of betrayal of that moment
Ava saying that Deborah will die alone is something that Deborah has thought about before, saying back in S1E9 in her interview with a journalist that she accepts the truth that people leave the world completely alone and refuses to pretend otherwise
One Last Time - Deb’s Final Stand Up is the track which plays as the big Deborah/Ava argument scene closes out according to Shazam, with the track (that played in the S1 Finale) taking on a whole new meaning in this context. The soundtrack isn’t a big selling point of the show unlike something like say Succession, but the themes by Carlos Rafael Rivera are simple but always effective
Jimmy taking a selfie in his new office is quite cute, and him saying that he didn’t do it alone and comforting Ava at the end of this scene is a much needed nice beat after the intensity of the previous scene
“shows that already exist with one tiny tweak, or huge global hits” Honestly a pretty depressing but frankly accurate read of the current media/television landscape
Jimmy saying that he knows Ava will do the right thing brings to mind these Deborah lines to Ava from the previous episode “It’s so easy for you to say what’s right or wrong. It’s never that simple. One day you’ll understand that” Ava’s move of blackmailing to get Deborah to do right by her certainly falls into the “never that simple” category
Curious about the politics/legal behind the scenes stuff that needed to be cleared to have Deborah be the host of a CBS late night show in the world of Hacks, while Hacks the actual show is under Warner Bros. Discovery which does not own hacks. I guess in this universe Deborah gets the Late Late Show timeslot instead of Taylor Tomlinson with After Midnight
Deborah’s left Vegas but the vanity plate for her car will continue to follow her and be updated
Deborah excitedly taking a photo of her Host parking spot is very cute, but the beat immediately after when we see a hint of her being sad and uneasy/regretful is also great, she’s achieved her dream but at great personal cost, and has no one to share the photo and moment with
It’s been a central thesis of the show that Deborah and Ava are ultimately more alike than different despite their different ages, backgrounds etc. Even in S1E2 the antiques dealer says that Deborah and Ava are “the same” and are “both psychotic b*tches”, and in episode after episode we see just how alike they are. For example in S2E2 after Deborah finds out about the email she says that Ava is just like her, being equally cruel and selfish. Ava blackmailing her abusive boss so that she can continue to work with her is just a completely insane thing to do, and also very much something Deborah would do herself to help her career, as we saw back in S1E5 when Deborah blackmailed Marty to secure her dates at the Palmetto
This move also shows just how much Ava has learnt from Deborah and how much the student has learnt from the master. Ava takes Deborah’s advice from S2E8 to be a shark, and her advice from S3E5 to “concentrate on what’s best for you”. It’s also ends up becoming a twisted version of Ava saying that she won’t leave Deborah in that same episode too, with Ava resorting to blackmail to stay with Deborah. And Ava finally does what she said back in S2E8, which is that “I get to decide what’s best for me”. I love love love the layers to this show!
I love love love the cocky and slightly confident/smirking Ava that we get a brief glimpse of from this scene, coupled with the power suit she’s rocking it makes for such a satisfying moment as she gets one up over Deborah after being on the back foot previously
We’ve seen a different and more vulnerable side of Deborah this season in S3E5 and S3E7, and seen her be like a fangirl in S3E4, but this scene and her stepping up to Ava and slightly seething as she says “You wouldn’t” is a nice reminder that she can be absolutely terrifying when she wants to be
That tiny tiny little gulp that Hannah Einbinder does when/just after Ava says “I would” is so so good, Ava’s standing up to Deborah but Deborah is still one very scary person. Also really love her cocking her head to one side as she says “Wouldn’t you?”
This has already been pointed out on Twitter, but Deborah and Ava sitting apart in the writer’s room at the end is kind of like the pepper shakers which Deborah rearranged to be apart in S3E1. Also a nice contrast to S3E8 when they were sitting apart as Ava was reporting the journalist’s article to Deborah, even despite them sitting separately they were still very close emotionally, but now the physical distance between them is reflective of the division between them as friends/colleagues
Spoilers for Succession S2E10: This Hacks finale is very reminiscent of the Succession S2 Final This Is Not For Tears. In both episodes the older mentor who’s been trying to teach their protege/successor to be harder and tougher ends up being too good at their job and get betrayed by their mentee in a stunning rug pull moment, even though for much of the season it seems the mentee is perfectly content working undefor their mentor. It’s a plot twist that’s both completely shocking in the moment yet makes so much sense when looking back on the season and the series as a whole. And of course the finale ends on a shot of the older mentor as they take in what their mentee has done, with a mixture of anger but also just the slightest hint of pride and begrudging admiration
This final twist in the finale of Ava blackmailing Deborah is so so good and satisfying, does what great season finales do which is deliver a “twist” that feels like a gut punch initially but has actually been building over the season, and sets up a really juicy scenario/ status quo for next season
Ava blackmailing her way to head writer on Deborah’s show is such a juicy scenario to leave things for Season 4, Ava has never had power over Deborah like she does now and I’m personally very much looking forward to how that changes their dynamic next season
My only concern is that I do hope the Vegas aspect and the characters from that part of the Hacks universe don’t get left behind with the focus shifting to running a Late Night show. If there is something to ding this season of the show it’s that there’s not enough Kiki, I’m not smart enough to figure out how a Vegas casino dealer will be able to regularly show up in LA but I selfishly want the writers to figure that out because Poppy Liu is just too fun as Kiki to leave out. Also kind of curious as to how they’ll keep Marcus around since he’s now leaving Deborah’s QVC empire.
Overall a really really great season finale and a very strong season as a whole, easily the best Comedy of the year and one of the best shows of the year. Really rooting for the show to win big prizes at the Emmys later this year against the Bear although that will be tough, pulling hard for Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder to win and for the show to at least win Writing if it can’t win for Comedy Series. Also would be very happy if Meg Stalter and Paul W Downs got their first-time noms this year, they were both great this season

The cold open for the finale has a nice little parallel to the cold open in S1E2, which similarly has Deborah walk in to Marty who’s in a somewhat compromising position with his trainer to deliver good news, although in this case her news is something they both celebrate, rather than a win she uses to gloat over Marty
Even though she’s in a much less combative place with Marty, Deborah still isn’t willing to admit that she came over to tell him the news in person and insists that she’s only there to return the key, showing the limited extent to which she is willing to open up even to people she’s known for a long time.
Deborah and Marty doing the tango together to basically celebrate the news is quite cute and a fun way to kick off the episode
I do think it’s kind of sweet that Kathy is quite looking forward to Deborah’s visit, and J Smith Cameron plays up Kathy’s somewhat childlike excitement at this during the opening of the phone call
Nice to see Deborah making an effort to follow up after inviting Kathy for Christmas, committing to a sister’s weekend is a not insignificant step although it also becomes clear that she’s not 100% committed to it. Waiting for Kathy to call and then tell her there’s a change in plans instead of just straight up telling her isn’t a particularly nice thing to do
Deborah has a weird look on her face when Kathy brings up her parents at the mausoleum, which I initially thought was because she didn’t really like to reflect on the past, although on a rewatch it becomes clear it’s because she knows the truth about the mausoleum.
“She’s pivoting into being an adult” Found the way Kayla phrased this part of the child star to adult actor experience to be very funny. I guess the Bella Donaldson character is supposed to be a reference to people like Zendaya, Zac Efron and Selena Gomez (Cannes Best Actress winner!!???), Disney child stars who are trying to shed their past image and be taken as serious adult actors to varying degrees of success. Also the bit about getting awards buzz for an Aronofsky movie feels a bit like what happened/ was projected to happen with Sadie Sink and The Whale
Deborah watching her old Late Night tape and Ava seeing her do that is a nice callback to and reversal of S1E3, where it was Ava watching Deborah’s tape and discovering more about her past
I love Hannah Einbinder’s simple but sincere delivery of “I knew you would” as Ava, and the way Jean Smart lets just the tiniest smile play across Deborah’s lips in response to Ava’s belief in her

We’ve seen a different and more vulnerable side of Deborah this season in S3E5 and S3E7, and seen her be like a fangirl in S3E4, but this scene and her stepping up to Ava and slightly seething as she says “You wouldn’t” is a nice reminder that she can be absolutely terrifying when she wants to be
That tiny tiny little gulp that Hannah Einbinder does when/just after Ava says “I would” is so so good, Ava’s standing up to Deborah but Deborah is still one very scary person. Also really love her cocking her head to one side as she says “Wouldn’t you?”
This has already been pointed out on Twitter, but Deborah and Ava sitting apart in the writer’s room at the end is kind of like the pepper shakers which Deborah rearranged to be apart in S3E1. Also a nice contrast to S3E8 when they were sitting apart as Ava was reporting the journalist’s article to Deborah, even despite them sitting separately they were still very close emotionally, but now the physical distance between them is reflective of the division between them as friends/colleagues
Spoilers for Succession S2E10: This Hacks finale is very reminiscent of the Succession S2 Final This Is Not For Tears. In both episodes the older mentor who’s been trying to teach their protege/successor to be harder and tougher ends up being too good at their job and get betrayed by their mentee in a stunning rug pull moment, even though for much of the season it seems the mentee is perfectly content working undefor their mentor. It’s a plot twist that’s both completely shocking in the moment yet makes so much sense when looking back on the season and the series as a whole. And of course the finale ends on a shot of the older mentor as they take in what their mentee has done, with a mixture of anger but also just the slightest hint of pride and begrudging admiration
This final twist in the finale of Ava blackmailing Deborah is so so good and satisfying, does what great season finales do which is deliver a “twist” that feels like a gut punch initially but has actually been building over the season, and sets up a really juicy scenario/ status quo for next season
Ava blackmailing her way to head writer on Deborah’s show is such a juicy scenario to leave things for Season 4, Ava has never had power over Deborah like she does now and I’m personally very much looking forward to how that changes their dynamic next season
My only concern is that I do hope the Vegas aspect and the characters from that part of the Hacks universe don’t get left behind with the focus shifting to running a Late Night show. If there is something to ding this season of the show it’s that there’s not enough Kiki, I’m not smart enough to figure out how a Vegas casino dealer will be able to regularly show up in LA but I selfishly want the writers to figure that out because Poppy Liu is just too fun as Kiki to leave out. Also kind of curious as to how they’ll keep Marcus around since he’s now leaving Deborah’s QVC empire.
Overall a really really great season finale and a very strong season as a whole, easily the best Comedy of the year and one of the best shows of the year. Really rooting for the show to win big prizes at the Emmys later this year against the Bear although that will be tough, pulling hard for Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder to win and for the show to at least win Writing if it can’t win for Comedy Series. Also would be very happy if Meg Stalter and Paul W Downs got their first-time noms this year, they were both great this season
2024.06.01 06:09 Myriai Dawn Broke over Icewind Dale (Finally! AMA if you'd like)
With a clang of a Cast Iron Frying Pan +1 the 3rd form of Auril shattered and the goddess banished until Midwinter and for the first time in almost 3 years the sun rose over Ice Wind Dale)
(I need to purple prose this into Google Docs for the Fam since it was 3 AM when we finished and I just wanted to go to sleep--but that's neither nor there)
The Family D&D RotFM Campaign ended last Sunday (5/25) and the Unnamed Group (they never came up with a name for themselves) defeated Auril with a resounding crash. We started in roughly July 2020--our meetings were somewhat sporadic due to a lot of things (schedules, pandemics, deaths in the family, kids in school, jobs, etc.) so I can't give a true estimate of how many sessions it took, but probably averaged out to roughly 50ish? Our sessions were usually long about 8 hours--but play time averaged between 4 & 6 hours depending on attention spans (my niece and nephew were about 14 and 15 when we started). We started at level 1 and I kinda fast tracked them to 10 by the end of the game.
A few notes:
\ This was the very first campaign I DM'd beginning to end*
\ We only played through Chapter Five (Ended in Grimskalle--the ending chapters didn't really fit in to what I was envisioning so I'll probably use them elsewhere in another campaign)*
\ I changed (and homebrewed) A LOT*
\ There was actually a lot more I wanted to touch on and do, but we ran out of time with my nephew graduating high school and going to boot camp a month and a day later and I didn't want to leave it hanging.*
\ I did run it loosely survival, but I didn't run it as survival horror for various reasons*
\ I run with milestones because I don't like math ^^;*
There was probably more than a few trips and falls along the way and I didn't learn to fall forward until about halfway through, but everyone seemed to enjoy it in the end.
We started the campaign at level 1 and used the Ice Road Trackers to start the campaign off, which put them at level 3 when they finally reached Bryn Shander to start the book part of the campaign (Orianna joined the campaign about a year or so in) and introduced them to Mother Tusk and her Awakened brood.
Party Make-Up:
Karadon//High Elf Psi Warrior Fighter (Harper Contact Secret)
Al//High Elf Assassination Rogue/Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer (the multiclass was for character flavor) (Wanted in Neverwinter, Waterdeep, & Luskan for various crimes and hated by crime syndicates--she also spent the majority of the game with Auril whispering in her ear to join her due to taking Auril's Dagger from Sephek--I upped the DC on the saving throw every time she used Lucky to change her roll or after 3 in game days--it started at 5 and ended at 15)
Kiri//Half-(Dark) Elf Monster Slayer Ranger (Reghed Heir Secret)
Sh'Meral//Tabaxi Circle of Wildfire Druid (Owlbear Whisperer)
Uthal//Goliath Path of the Zealot Warrior (Midwinter's Child--since he was already cold resistant, he became immune to natural cold and resistant to cold magic, but it came with a DC 20 CHA check to avoid being turned against his friends anytime they ran across followers of Auril--I did nerf him under their control so that he could only do normal damage and not use all of his abilities because that boy brought the pain train at full power and could've TPK'd the Party)
Orianna//Tiefling Gunslinger Fighter (Eventually wound up as a Midwinter's Child as well due to some very badly (or well) placed Nat 1s)
The characters rolled their stats (4d6, drop the lowest, reroll 1s) and some of them (+cough+Uthal+cough+) got ridiculous scores so it was fun to work around it and allowed me to figure out a lot of different ways to try and challenge the party.
The group was pretty new to D&D, except Sh'Meral who is a player in a campaign I'm in as a player and Orianna, who played 3.5 fairly extensively. My mom played AD&D with my dad and their neighbors at the base in the early 80s, but it was different enough and long enough ago she gets lumped in with the newbies. I had started and aborted a Ghosts of Saltmarsh campaign with them, but that didn't actually get very far hence I say this is the first campaign I did start to finish and I still classify them as new.
Because it's been a long time and my note-taking wasn't good at the beginning (hence some of the stumbling), I don't remember every nuance of what we did, but I remember chunks of it.
I actually used both starting quests (The Chwinga who ended up being named Chime and rode Kiri's shoulder the entire game and Sephek) though I dragged the Sephek quest out a bit per an adventure I downloaded from DM's Guild from Bob the Builder and they got a taste of the Coldlight Walkers early with the red-coated sled driver who died from an ice knife to the heart that later attacked their camp as a red-coated Coldlight Walker.
Chapter One: Ten-Towns
They actually wound up hitting a large chunk of the quests in the first chapter, but they were strewn through the campaign and more than one had to be changed up to compensate for party levels.
* Bryn Shander (Foaming Mugs)
* Lonelywood (White Moose & Ravisin)
* Termaline (Beautiful Mine)
* Targos (Mountain Climb)
* Easthaven (Toil and Trouble)
* Good Mead (The Mead Must Flow)
Chapter Two: Icewind Dale
We actually didn't do a lot in this chapter--I'd added a lot of extra stuff and as I said we ran out of time (I wanted to do Dark Duchess and Cave of the Berserkers, but it didn't happen)
* Black Cabin
* Cackling Chasm
* Jarlmoot
Chapter Three and Four: Sunblight and Destruction's Light
Due to various shenanigans (the party not picking up the Duergar crumbs and the sudden time crunch), we actually didn't really do these chapters at all except I did unleash the Chardalyn Dragon (as a reskinned Deep Dragon because they were like Level 7 or so at this point).
I did not, however, unleash the dragon as written because that would be enough to make me rage quit as a player and my players would've done the same if I did it that way--Dougan's Hole was a casualty but they caught it on the way to Good Mead, plus if I hadn't done it this way it would've been a waste of the model I bought two years or so ago and that would've been awful since we never made it to Sunblight.
I did loosely imply that Auril's Frost Druids running around Ice Wind Dale were in cahoots with the Duergar--they gave them chardalyn in exchange for gems needed for Awaken spells.
Chapter Five: Auril's Abode
Ran this sort of as written except I had a few things (characters) come back to haunt them on their way to Grimskalle
* Ravisin caught them on the way from the dock (they didn't kill her before she escaped in the barrow) with some of Auril's ice sculptures so the characters roused some divine wrath by hitting some of Auril's beloved sculptures
* A resurrected Vursin (Ravisin's sister--my spelling is probably crap on the names) and Sephek (Revenant Version) with some Coldlight Walker pals
* They ran across a mind-controlled Mother Tusk that they either had to kill or find a way to free (they found a way to free her)
* The party almost failed the Test of Cruelty (but managed not to)--I had a couple of them in tears. Only one of them managed to pass all 4 trials to open the door to the Vault (which served a different purpose detailed in my changes below)
Things I Changed (Added In)
* Part of Auril's spell was held down by 4 druid circles (one was near the barrow in Lonelywood, one to the east of Easthaven, one to the west a bit beyond Bremen, and the last was in the Stones of Thruun south of Dougan's Hole) as the party defeated the circles they got to add 2 hours of dim light to their days until after the fourth when Auril doubled down on her spell when they killed her beloved Archdruid Priestess Geluvicken
* They faced Maude in Toil and Trouble and Maude used underhanded tactics to escape, but then they faced Maude and her Coven in the Frost Giant Hunting Lodge (from Holed Up--as I said I altered it almost beyond recognition)
* I moved the Codicil of White to Jarlmoot and the party had the option of using that in the vault under Grimskalle to seal Auril off plane for 100 years--but at the cost of making a Con 21 saving throw and the one person that probably could've done that with no issue (Uthal) couldn't read (due to his player's role-playing all game) so they wound up choosing to not sacrifice one of their friends (an NPC College of Swords Bard I originally created as a random encounter that won their hearts and became a beloved friend I had to flesh out) and just make sure to kill Iskra and try and defeat Auril to at least hamper her plans.
The final battle with Auril wound up stretching into two sessions between when they left Jarlmoot and confronted Auril on the battlements of Grimskalle--each of those sessions were long (10-8 one day and 2 PM-almost 3 AM for the last--obviously breaks for food and player leg stretching).
I managed to not kill any players--but a few of them were knocked unconscious at multiple times but managed to make their death saves until their friends could help them out.
So if you made it through all of this--go ahead and as me anything!
I'll do my best to answer :)
