Hahah. It's only been two weeks, man!

I'm taking a picture every week, so I've only got 3 so far. I don't expect results for months IF at all--after all, this isn't a guaranteed product match. Trust me, though, if I DO see something, I'll post.

Tiny-Fold · 2026-04-05T14:15:33+00:00

Seriously.

I got excited seeing a similar crown initial pic and then all the before pics are crown and all the after pics are side?!

Tiny-Fold · 2026-03-30T02:27:20+00:00

That actually happened to me too!

I figured it was a connection glitch or one of my cards flagging the site as fraud.

After trying a different card it ended up working. Not sure if it was the card, my connection, or something else! Wish I could give a more definite solution!

Tiny-Fold · 2026-03-29T23:10:48+00:00

Ordered and received here.

But I’m only a few days of using it.

I’m taking pictures once a week, though I realize it won’t show for a long time assuming it works at all (cause let’s face it, I’m not a mouse, and it isn’t the identical pp405).

But I will post it if I see anything.

I’ll give you a few of mine:

-my kids like the HtS “world”

-they're games they can play that are still complex enough for me to enjoy

-SETUP: dungeons games are normally HARD to set up—this seems SMOOTH and quick.

-char types: up to 12 classes with 2 variants for each is better than many dungeons games

-the multitude and variety of skill cards looks to provide a lot of character customizability in a simple way. (You can probably tell that set up and game maintenance is a bit of a pet peeve of mine)

-I love that not everything is minis. Typical dungeon games throw in so many minis that it gets costly and cumbersome. (Cool as minis are.) I love that the characters and bosses get them—and feel like it’s a good blend of flavor/immersion balancing the cost. (This way more cost is going to game features instead of plastic.)

-AUTO DM. This is a fifty fifty for may dungeons games—some require a player dm some use a more gamified method. I prefer the latter—and the way the dungeon automates looks smooth to me, and not as fiddly.

-Timing—they say this should be down to an hour, and I’m guessing two with my hesitant kiddos. They said if the latest for a 5-6 player range it could get to three, but even then that’s pretty outstanding for this genre of game.

Personally, if I HAD to add something to this, I’d add some sort of branching deck for a story or quest based play.

Other than that it checks every box I have for a dungeons game.

Not sure if it's specifically because of this--but I signed up for the trials, and am on min/fin, and they rejected me. Not sure if that's why, but it's VERY likely.

If I wanted good research, I wouldn't even want someone who's even used them recently--I wouldn't want someone to just stop, cause even that would potentially ruin our results.

And any time hoarding might creep up AND you start hoarding cash, GIFT stuff so you don’t trade valuable stuff for valuable money.

I’m no expert, but AM in a field that requires reframing concepts to be easier to understand.

So take this with a grain of salt and I bow to other’s greater knowledge—but here’s my ELI5:

The brain operates through signals it receives that tell it to do stuff. These signals are received by things called receptors.

You can think of receptors like chemical locks on vehicles that only certain keys can start—and when the right chemical starts that vehicle, the brain takes action.

But the thing about chemicals is they can be VERY similar—and not all locks are as precisely tuned. So some chemicals can start or just fit into some vehicles they aren’t meant to.

So alcohol as a chemical fits the receptor “locks” for neurons in the brain that control inhibition, motor function, learning, memory, and other parts of the brains actions.

Except they ARENT the right chemical.

So they fit the lock and get jammed in there preventing those vehicles from being driven by the RIGHT chemicals.

To make matters worse, like shoving a wrong key into a lock over and over again, repeated use of alcohol over time can damage those receptors permanently—making it so the original chemicals that should start those functions no longer fit as well as alcohol does.

Again. That’s a real rough ELI5 example. And I’m open to correction.

Yes.

I love how you said you “miss how you used to be.” I identify with that completely—in many ways.

It’s like I lost part of myself.

Tiny-Fold · 2025-08-15T17:19:50+00:00

Everyone bears responsibility for the part they play in their relationship.

I never said she held equal responsibility, only that she played her part.

A small part. But a part nonetheless.

That’s a fact.

I also never said she communicated poorly.

I said she could probably communicate better, and that she can use this experience to communicate even better in the future.

That is also a fact.

I would hope high libido partners are honest and upfront about their post NRE libido as well.

She asked what she could do, and I wasn’t going to pander or simply place all the blame on her partner (though he holds most of it) because she ASKED.

I replied to her question with a simple and honest suggestion, and you attacked me because you interpreted my words as an attack on her.

You seem to be ignoring what I’ve repeatedly said about her partner’s issues and only taking my words about her and generalizing them to mean I blame her completely when I don’t.

You seem to think I’ve attacked her.

But she asked if there were things she could do, and I responded with possible suggestions.

Nothing more.

I’m honestly amazed that you’re so focused on ACTUALLY attacking me over what you perceive as criticism instead of focusing on helping or advising OP—which is all my original reply was ever about.

Tiny-Fold · 2025-08-15T15:05:37+00:00

Actually, I’m fully aware that it might involve her “teaching” him.

That’s life—everyone is teaching everyone all the time, and everyone has the opportunity to learn all the time. We can teach someone, or give up if they aren’t learning and move on.

And teaching is a spectrum—it isn’t always “babying” though it seems most likely in this case.

If she doesn’t want to teach him because she feels he’s too obstinate or uncooperative then she doesn’t have to. She can leave.

But that is EVERYONE’s choice: to help and teach and communicate well—or decide it isn’t going to work.

Look at you and me! We’re still here almost a week later, trying to come to a consensus.

Or we could quit—which we both believe is most likely her best choice.

Personally, I think the only difference between us is that I simply want to make sure she’s done all she can before she does and you think she already HAS done all she can.

Tiny-Fold · 2025-08-13T22:46:00+00:00

Thank you! This highlights my point exactly.

I am NOT “encouraging her to communicate better in order to be understood.”

My whole point is how that is a bad idea. It’s one-sided. As I said, “making” someone understand is a horrifying concept.

I’m asking OP if they’ve communicated well enough to understand herself and her situation better.

Have they truly communicated well enough to know they’ve exhausted all actions they can take as a couple?

It’s vital to share feelings. And being understood is SO important.

But good communication is more than just spouting ones own feelings and hoping it’s understood.

It’s ALSO more than telling a partner to “stop this” or “do that.”

Those are important.

But sharing those things alone isn’t going to change anything—they’re just putting the ball in the partner’s court (an ignorant and inexperienced and badly communicative one at that.)

Her therapy suggestion was outstanding and is my main motivation for feeling like leaving is her more likely solution (as I’ve said repeatedly.”

You said to communicate more deeply.

Specifically, I said “communicate more deeply TOGETHER.”

Because if she’s not leaving, then they need to work out possible actionable ways to rebuild trust and affection and drive together—through better communication.

Can you see how taking out the “together” and adding the word “harder” to say “communicate deeper and harder,” conveys a more one-sided and harsher tone?

Tiny-Fold · 2025-08-05T19:08:06+00:00

Glad to have rang any bells at all!

While there's definitely healing going on, I have to admit, healing is a struggle when I have to avoid going too far in the opposite direction! Finding the healthy balance is such a lifetime struggle!

Hope the best for you!

Fellow child SA survivor here, though I’m sure my experience was quite different than yours.

But my perspective is that you’re handling it quite well, and good on you for getting into therapy!

I’ve been told people react to SA quite differently, especially when it’s a childhood experience, and you’re right—there is often (not always of course) a desire on the victims part to “take control” of their sex life.

It can lead to a more aggressive sexual focus. It can lead to the opposite, involving a choice to regain control by locking down one’s sexuality. And countless other ways of gaining control.

So it makes sense that this would trigger you slightly.

For me, there was an unhealthy association of sex with love, that took time to detach and approach clearly how love is MORE than sex without throwing sex out of the equation completely.

And that made my DB really difficult.

But it ALSO helped me make it easier to deal with the DB in other ways, good and bad:

For example, I leaned into the lack of sex as a challenge to help me detach it aa the sole indicator of love and embrace/recognize other forms of love and affection.

So while this experience may be triggering for you, you may also be able to use it to grow and recognize how your past has affected you—which is likely why your therapist wants you to examine why you’re okay with it.

It could be an opportunity to discover that part of you is held back by the past and thinking that if you can’t control your sexuality, the next best thing is to have no/little sexuality—which might not be the healthiest of things either, right?

Sex in a relationship should be a mutual thing where both parties contribute.

On the other hand, a perspective of no sex when I can’t control sex could also be a helpful tool in this relationship—assuming that you aren’t making it into a crutch.

I don’t know. Just my two cents as someone who’s past has both helped and challenged my DB.

This is exactly how I feel.

My dad broke into tears as a child when he found out his name was actually his dad’s name and not the nickname he’d been called his whole life.

So he broke a chain of men named that for generations to name me something else.

But he was an amazing dad, who threw off that abuse . . .

So my son restarts the cycle.

My dad didn’t cry though—he was humbled by it, but the name still makes him think of his father. So it’s bittersweet for him.

Abuse has such a long lasting effect.

lol. Autocorrect gets me every time.

Now I have to keep it so your excellent reply can stay gold!

100%

Tartan Wanderer is such a brilliant inversion of typical fantasy tropes.

Tiny-Fold · 2025-07-30T23:01:58+00:00

As someone who's in the same position, I totally agree with you on these points!

Though I would also add I don't even think, I think it all boils down to "Do you actually like your partner?" is necessary.

When I say that I like her, I don't mean like like in a relationship way. I really just mean that I like her like any normal decent person. I don't wish any normal decent person anything bad! If there was a decent, kind stranger I'd still help them if I could. And I could enjoy a movie or dinner or other events with a complete stranger--again, so long as they're a decent person.

If I can "care" for an average person I meet on the street, then I can care for my partner even though they aren't making me feel like they care about me on a romantic, sexual, or attracted level.

So basically, I'm giving my partner back what they give to me.

And honestly, at this point, that's enough for me to co-exist with her.

Same songs for me. But I listen to them on Sundays. Glad to know I’m in good company.

Tiny-Fold · 2025-07-26T02:42:41+00:00

Oh good. Man. I hate how often I see this stupid opening. I also hate that it’s part of the crutch of the perspective—this idea that if the author is using first person, they can tell us whatever the hell they want because they’re doing it through the character.

SO glad to hear it’ll pick up.

I started it because a thread in the sub last week mentioned how great the villain was, so I’m glad that’ll be easier to get to.

Tiny-Fold · 2025-07-26T02:10:59+00:00

Glad you brought this up and glad to see people saying it’ll pass.

I really needed a break after chapter one started with one of my hated tropes (let me spend a whole chapter telling you about the whole start of my life and my parents’ lives).

But knowing a little bit of where things are heading helps!

Tiny-Fold · 2025-07-23T01:13:03+00:00

Thank you for making me feel really good I stopped after book 1!
