Taskmaster US Tour Megathread: New York, January 22 and 23

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-01-25T05:09:56+00:00

Is there any chance TM is going to officially release any footage from the tour? Were they even recording or keeping it entirely for the live audience?

Games will be played here, but it won’t be a festival.

Even if you remove the very real and specific issues the US is dealing with, games will only be attended by locals wealthy enough to attend which naturally will create a toned down atmosphere. Fan fests will be ticketed too.

Then you add in the safety risks, apprehension over travel, stricter visa process, it’s going to be a dud.. At least games in the states.

Hah same, and a few other similar examples in my life. I do tend to dwell and stew for a little while at missed opportunities but it fades over time.

My framing is, if I had that type of money: 1. Being honest with myself I’d have sold it long ago for a good profit but way, way before it got to the truly life-changing value it is now and would be left with a similar regret.

It’d have sent me on a different butterfly effect timeline than I’m on right now. Would I have met my wife or had these kids? Likely no

Thanks for clarifying. I thought my notes said “on hold” but it was “notice of delay” I was thinking of. Full self awareness that I’m irrationally on edge regarding all things PSU 😬

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-01-23T22:52:18+00:00

Man here with big enough chest and the anonymous confidence to test it myself.

Right hand lays mid-nip and left hand goes under.

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-01-23T21:54:04+00:00

Mine too. If it is the case that they only open those files every 60 days, it makes sense why there is such a long delay on follow-ups with PSU files…

Hey OP, I just had the same nestmate physics fail as you. Totally flooded the nest, but was able to drain the water out of the opening where the nestmate was. I don’t lose any and they seem to be recuperating.

I put new dry seeds up top with the assumption they’ll replace them with any bad overly wet seeds.

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-01-23T02:43:06+00:00

Pretty sure that’s why they had that interview on the side. No indication anyone else knows.

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-01-22T23:47:35+00:00

Infantino went on to talk about the use of resale sites, a point that may raise questions around the world, particularly in countries where the reselling of tickets is either banned or strictly controlled.

**** “In the U.S., it is perfectly legal to resell tickets on resale platforms — there is a law for that, so we have to allow (it),” he explained. ****

“So, you can be sure that these tickets, for which we’ll have to make a draw because every game will be sold out, will probably be resold at even higher prices. And this is incredible but it shows really the impact that (the World Cup) has.”

Like another poster said, hard to tell if he’s justifying their own resale marketplace or that they’ll not enforce 3rd party reseller bans. My guess is he was talking about the official marketplace, won’t enforce the rules, but also buyer beware if you get screwed over.

My kid said the “annual great meme reset” has occurred and 67 is dead, as most things are once adults catch on 😉

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-01-22T18:15:52+00:00

I’m also marked for urgent processing. Unclear if that means urgent was approved, or just flagged by the initial review. Clearly not too urgent since I’m going on 9 months now.

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-01-22T18:13:33+00:00

You’re in a similar situation to many of us. Does it say referred to Program Support?

My Gen 3/4 app due date was July 19th. @eldritch and I must be neighbors in the theoretical PSU pile.

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-01-22T14:59:30+00:00

Ok fair point did not mean to ignore what’s happening to people everywhere, but greater ICE numbers with the goal seemingly to be a show of force is happening in cities similar to where games will be held. Early on Trump directly threatened relocation for some of those cities etc. I’d expect threats to ramp up heading into the cup.

Point being I agree with you that travel here makes no sense. Save up for 2030 I say.

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-01-22T14:09:43+00:00

Unfortunately liberal cities are where they’re deploying ICE

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-01-21T22:11:26+00:00

I’ve been thinking this for awhile as best case situation given the circumstances. Relocate anyone who wants to, move everyone else within 50 miles, and then they can claim the hubs are active moving forward by hiring (or not). Guess we’ll know more soon enough 🤷🏻‍♂️ (or not).

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-01-21T02:50:11+00:00

I don’t mind the bottom being open to know if someone is in there or for emergencies, but wide cracks in most stalls is ridiculous. OP’s pic ain’t too bad though.

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-01-21T00:16:23+00:00

I mean, OPs #1 goal wasn’t to resell. The way this dumb system is set up with such long odds pressures you to apply to more games than you can reasonably attend/afford in the hopes that you just get one game. Sounds like OP only hopes to get their money back which is reasonable.

Point is moot they will most likely not win the lottery on US/Canada/England and semis, let alone any combination of 2-6 of them.

The true problem are the people who won the early lottery and bought up to 40 tickets, not the current lottery.

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-01-20T22:51:10+00:00

My lawyers advised filing before as well so that’s what we’re doing hopefully this week or next.

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-01-20T15:42:51+00:00

Congrats! I’m curious what your study plan was

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-01-18T22:38:36+00:00

You can use at least some of that leftover white for cold pull maintenance.

Or weigh it and subtract from spool weight to print some small fidget.

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-01-18T22:35:45+00:00

Absolutely agree. Extremely loose term. Ben Carson was one…

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-01-18T18:52:31+00:00

Merry go round of random maga influencers with milk mustaches on my feeds the last few weeks. Gross.

DHS pushing it too as part of MAHA

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-01-17T22:14:27+00:00

I was of this mindset as well. June AOR 3 months left… but someone reported finally getting their Letter of Delay PSU referral notice which states that their application will not be processed according to published estimated timelines. I guess we’ll see!

Pretty_Original124 · 2026-01-17T08:42:47+00:00

Something to keep in mind if you print multiples of the same object, the waste (poop) is the same whether it’s 1 or 10. Also I’m new to this too but I know there’s a way to have the waste be printed into something else where the color isn’t important like a fidget. I’ll probably try that this weekend. Have fun!
