I don't know if this is a common experience or just mine but I've been masking since early childhood and when I try to picture what my unmasked self actually looks like I genuinely can't get a clear image, because the mask and the person have sort of merged over thirty years and I can't tell where one ends and the other begins

I'm trying to get a formal evaluation and my question is whether this makes the evaluation less reliable, like if I turn up and present as my usual very together masked self will the assessment just see the mask and conclude I'm fine the way every other evaluation has

is there a way to communicate this to an evaluator in advance so they actually know what to look for underneath it, and I'm not asking whether I should get evaluated because I've already decided, I'm asking how to get the most accurate result when the thing that needs evaluating is specifically designed to not be visible

idk if its just me but online casinos feel kinda overloaded now 😅

Back then i used to just deposit play a few slots maybe blackjack for a bit n log off. Now every site got like 50 diff promos vip tiers missions xp points daily drops n random stuff popping up everywhere.

Tried one recently n spent more time tryna understand the bonus thing than actually playing lol. The games were decent tho but the whole thing felt extra for no reason.

Do ppl actually like all this stuff? or u prefer simple sites where u just hop on play n chill for a bit without all the complicated bonus rules n notifications every 2 sec 😭

I’ve been trying to upgrade from the usual cheap Halloween-store stuff and was curious where people actually buy good practical FX masks, props, and horror accessories online.

A lot of sites look amazing in product photos, but then reviews say the materials are thin, the paint job looks different in person, or the mask barely resembles the listing. I’m mainly trying to avoid overpriced drop-shipped stuff and figure out which stores are actually trusted in the horror/cosplay community.

I’ve seen everything from ultra-budget costume shops to higher-end FX stores, and it’s hard to tell what’s genuinely worth buying versus what’s just edited marketing photos.

For people who collect or use horror props regularly:

• Which stores or brands have been reliable for you?
• Any good places for realistic masks or FX makeup at mid-range prices?
• What are the biggest red flags when shopping for horror gear online?
• Do you trust independent creators more than large costume retailers?

I swear some bots start out really good and then after a while the replies become super generic or they completely lose the character personality. It kind of ruins long chats. I’ve been trying a few different AI chat platforms lately just to compare experiences. Curious what people here are using these days besides the usual options.
