Airtag "stuck" in lost mode, is this for the best?

I have a bad habit of losing things constantly so I picked up two AirTags, for my wallet and for my keys. The reviews made them seem appropriate and very simple to use, "it just works" etc. Perhaps I am stupid but I am kinda confused by them.

I wanted to check what message the AirTag would display when in lost mode. Doing this was already strange as I could not activate lost mode while near the tag, so I purposefully left it at home and went to the gym, and marked it as lost. The message that it shows has the right contact information, that's great.

There is however, no way to turn the lost mode off it seems. There is only an option to "Remove Contact Info", I am terrified to press that button as pretty much the reason I have this is I lose my things in places I frequent that are a close community and would contact me.

From what I read online, the "downside" of being in lost mode is that it can interfere with your privacy - I am not in a position where getting my contact information is dangerous, but that makes me confused as to why this process is confusing.

  1. Why can't I activate lost mode when I am next to my device? If this does reveal my contact, that's fine, I don't want it to be sitting somewhere for hours, I don't realize this, and it never gets returned because the good samaritan can't even contact me if they try and then they give up.

  2. Why can't I disable lost mode?

  3. Why are these devices so unintuitive? Feels very non Apple like

Soft locked or bugged because of Chess Maze (Not Socket Puzzle): Claire 2nd

Edit: I was not soft locked, I was just dumb. You do not need the top level gate to open to get out. I wish I could recall my solution but I just kept pressing buttons and eventually walked out with both pieces.

I can’t tell if I am doing something wrong or if there is a bug in the chess maze (not the puzzle with the riddle about where to put them). On my first play through, the solution involved jumping off the second floor. This is not possible in Claire’s run, as the gate to enter is never open, so I can not leave with all the pieces. I have tried looking it up but I either get the riddle for the wall plugs or Leon’s first go where the top door is open. Can anyone help? Thank you :)

New to NL, saw DS3 content from 10 yrs ago, when did he stop being "apologetic"?

Title sounds inflammatory, not my intention at all. I am an NL fan. I only started watching because I got Lies of P and a youtube playlist of his run came up, now I've binged so much of his stuff.

I picked up DS3 as I never played it and went to find his playthrough. There is one from like 10 years ago and one from like 6 years ago, the difference is insane. 10 years ago he constantly apologies and is extremely polite, if not borderline deferential to his viewers. The comments on the vids are even pretty mean imo! Now he's the eggman I know and love, frequently telling chat off.

When did that switch happen?
