Renault Triber Long-Term Month-To-Month Reports

During its 10-month stay with this reviewer, the Renault Triber did its job in a commendable manner and, suffice it to say, without any real niggles. The Triber isn’t just about clever space management though, it’s also a very comfortable vehicle.

Long Term Report: October 2020 (End of Term)

I primarily used the Triber for my daily commute to the office and back home – a run of 56km – along with some occasional road trips to the hills. And in all those months, I’ve really enjoyed its company. Mind you, by ‘enjoyed’, I don’t mean it’s exciting to drive in any way – it’s more of a compliment for its practicality, comfort, and fuss-free nature. First and foremost, the Triber is a proper seven-seater. Initially, I used to think it was a marketing ploy. But, no, as the days went by, I realised that it’s very spacious and comfortable – even in the third row, you’ve ample legroom and headroom (thanks to the cleverly scooped-out roof). You even get your own AC vents. Yes, in a sub-`8 lakh car! In addition to the space for passengers, it also has a very practical cabin – you’ve lots of storage pockets everywhere in the cabin, and there’s a cooled storage compartment as well.

The Triber isn’t just about clever space management though, it’s also a very comfortable vehicle. The ride quality is pliant, and it has typical sturdiness and road manners that you’d associate with expensive Renault cars like the Duster. However, it doesn’t feel crude or basic inside. In fact, its quality and fit-and-finish are more than decent. The Renault Triber is also well-equipped. The infotainment system is one of the best in the market. It’s large, intuitive, lag-free, and comes with Android Auto and Apple Car Play. Speaking of useful features, it also has projector headlamps, which are very good. I also quite like the design of the car – it’s a very pleasant-looking car. And those faux alloy wheels, well, that’s another smart touch. It won’t be wrong to say that the Triber looks more expensive than it really is, and I believe, the Triber’s aesthetics are one of its main USPs.

The 1.0-litre three-cylinder powertrain is a mixed bag. During daily driving or even during long drives, it felt underpowered. The low-end is weak, but the mid-range is more than adequate for daily duties or even occasional highway runs. What’s more, it’s quite refined at mid-revs, and the cabin is well-insulated. At high revs – above 4,500rpm – the engine does sound coarse, and there isn’t much juice to extract as well. The problem arises while driving with more people/load and AC turned on full blast, for the whole task becomes a bit laborious, especially in the city. On the highway, once you’re doing speeds above 80km/h, there’s no problem, as the Triber cruises comfortably, regardless of the number of people on board. The high-speed stability is also very good. Having said that, a bigger engine will definitely make the Triber more complete.

The build quality of the car is, surprisingly, very impressive, too. In the last 10 months, we haven’t witnessed any rattling panels or unwanted noises in the cabin. 

Overall, the Renault Triber MPV is nearly a perfect car for its price. It's spacious, comfortable, feature-packed, efficient, and, most importantly, very easy and pleasant to live with.

Long-Term Report: September 2020

Last month, the Triber’s radiator fan stopped working due to a blown fuse. It was fixed by Renault service quickly. However, when the car came back, the USB port stopped functioning. 

I thought it was a blown fuse again, and being the qualified engineer that I am, I turned it into a DIY assignment since I had nothing better to do. However, the access to the fuse box is really complicated in the Triber (inside the glove box), and you can’t pull a fuse out with your hands – you need to have a pair of pliers. After hopelessly trying to fix it myself for nearly half a day, I gave up and rang the folks at Renault service. They reverted promptly, sending a technician to my place the very next morning. It was fixed in just 5 minutes. The issue wasn’t a blown fuse, in fact, it was a loose connection. All I can say is that it isn’t funny to be proved wrong every now and then as an engineer, you know. The car is now running fine, and it’s back to being a fuss-free and comfortable daily runabout. It’s also hit 10,000km, meaning a service is due soon.

Long Term Report: August 2020

As soon as the lockdown ended, the very first thing I did was to drive down to where I would spend some time with my family. It was a leisurely 250km drive in the Triber. The weather was nice and the roads were empty. Everything went smoothly. Upon reaching my destination, I was quickly put into home quarantine for two weeks, meaning no driving or stepping out. Sadly, I managed to drive the Triber again only when it was time to come back home. 

When I reached home, it was pouring – which is another way of saying that our roads had turned into large water-harvesting reservoirs of sorts. Unfortunately, I drove the Triber through a heavily waterlogged street, and while it came out unscathed, the radiator fan suffered a blown fuse and stopped working. I realised this the next day as the AC kept tripping and the temperature gauge shot up. I called the Renault service, and it was fixed rather promptly. However, after the car came back from service, the USB port stopped working – I am hoping it’s just another blown fuse and nothing else.  

Long Term Report: July 2020

After being parked for nearly two months, the Triber finally went back to work with full force in the last month. Since it's the only small big car in our long-term fleet, it's our camera team's first choice for a tracking vehicle or for transporting people and equipment. Not to mention, with its seven-seat layout, we all can also maintain social distancing inside the vehicle. 

However, with full camera equipment and three heavy-weight people on board, the Triber does struggle to gain momentum, especially with the aircon on full blast. However, once you get up to 50-60km/h, it doesn't feel as 'powerless'. So, the key is to thrash the motor in each gear and get up to speed really quickly. But this comes at the expense of fuel economy. However, more importantly, this aggressive driving style has affected my 'Eco Scoring' (shows on the touchscreen) adversely, as my score now stands at 74 / 100. Plus, it's given me a mediocre 3-star rating in the 'Gear shift' category. On the upside, in 'Acceleration', I scored a 4, and I got a full 5 stars in 'Anticipation'. So, overall, I am happy that I haven't completely gone down in the Triber's estimation.  

Long Term Report: June 2020

In spite of some lockdown relaxations now, going out isn’t an option for me. This is because the border between where I stay and the office is still sealed. However, a couple of days ago, I was fortunate enough to take the Triber out on a cross-border expedition, as I had to drop a friend at the airport. It was after nearly 80 days that I was driving the Triber again! 

The drive turned out to be a very pleasant affair – after being caged for over two months, getting to drive a car back on open roads again felt so gratifying. Plus, there was virtually no traffic, so that made it even more enjoyable. That said, there were scores of private cars on the road. In some parts, it even made me wonder if there ever was a lockdown in place. Everything seemed normal, although I am not sure if I should be happy or worried about this. Strange times, indeed! 

As for the Triber, it did this short journey without any trouble. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised by its air-conditioning system. In 42 degrees of heat, the cabin remained cool and engine performance was decent. Hopefully, I’ll get to drive it more often from next month.  

Long Term Report: May 2020

Until a few hours ago, I hadn’t driven the Triber for over a month! Sure, I cranked it up once or twice around two weeks ago to keep its battery from draining, but it didn’t move an inch. However, since I had to get the odometer readings for this report, I went down to my apartment’s basement parking to check it. A few moments later, I noticed there was not a single soul in the parking lot, so I decided to take it for a spin, quite literally – I drove the car around the pillars of the parking lot for a good 5 minutes. I am happy to say that it’s the most fun thing I’ve done since the lockdown! Yes, that’s what it has come down to, sadly. 

However, before we were asked to stay home for an indefinite period, I managed to take it on another short road trip. As I have said in my previous reports, it’s not really a thrill machine because of its pint-size three-cylinder 1.0-litre engine. Despite that, it manages to cruise at 100-110km/h quite comfortably. It returned a decent fuel economy of around 16km/l during the road trip. However, it’s not that efficient in the city, as I only manage to get around 14-15km/l of fuel efficiency. And trust me, I don’t thrash the motor at all. Plus, I don’t think that it’s going to get any better in summer because of the air conditioning. But then, who knows if we will be allowed to step out this summer, let alone drive our cars?   

Long Term Report: February 2020

Usually, I prefer motorcycles to cars for commuting in cities. The reason is simple – it saves me a heck of a lot of time, and riding a motorcycle is not half as infuriating as driving a car in peak-hour traffic. But last month, it got bone-chillingly cold here, so, naturally, I ditched my motorcycle and used the Triber. And within a few days of driving to work, I realised that the Triber had turned me into a driving monk!

You see, unlike other cars, the Triber has somewhat calmed me down as a driver. Now, I am not implying that it’s the most refined car in the segment – it’s not! In fact, the engine sounds very gruff during cold starts and even in traffic, the drivetrain feels very harsh. Plus, it’s not a car to drive enthusiastically. But, truth be told, I kind of like that fact – the fact that it’s a relatively slow car. I don’t know about other road users, but the Triber’s relaxed pace has forced me to be non-competitive on the road. I don’t fight for a tight spot in traffic, I don’t chase someone down if they cut me off, and I don’t get into traffic light drag races anymore. Instead, I stick to a lane, connect my music using Android Auto, and just drive leisurely without a care in the world.  However, if there’s one thing that makes me lose my cool while driving this car – the lack of steering audio controls.  

Long Term Report: January 2020

The Renault Triber entered our long-term fleet this month, and, surprisingly, I’ve been handed the keys to this spacious 7-seat crossover. I am no family man, but I’ve to say that I like the extra space that this car offers. On the very first week itself, I drove the Triber to nearby and beyond, with four passengers and their ‘winter’ luggage on board. Of course, on paper, the 1.0-litre motor may not look ready for such a job, but, actually, it turned out to be pretty good. The engine, albeit whiny, cruises comfortably at 100 – 110km/h. Overtaking, however, requires you to send multiple requests to the engine – the motor feels strained and is reluctant to send all its horses to the wheels. Drive it at a leisurely pace, though, and it’s a very comfortable mile-muncher – yes, even when it’s fully loaded. The ride quality over bad roads stands out in particular. 

In the city, the driveability is decent. There’s enough grunt to pull the car into second gear in start-stop traffic. The clutch has a high biting point, though, and I also feel the pedal is set at a weird angle. The 8-inch touchscreen feels very premium. But I do miss steering-mounted controls. We will talk more about the Triber’s quality, practicality, and driving dynamics in next month’s report…

Reviewed: Renault Triber AMT

An in-depth test drive review of the Renault Triber AMT

The addition of an AMT lends more convenience and also makes the Renault Triber an even better package

The Renault Triber has the advantage of being one of the most affordable 7-seaters in the Indian market today. When we drove this car last, we did come out impressed with the packaging that is offered for the price. The lack of an automatic was a negative point, but recently Renault launched the Triber AMT, and we’re driving it to find out whether it has any aces up its sleeve or not!

Exterior

No cosmetic changes have been made to the Renault Triber AMT, and it looks similar to the manual variant. Of course, there’s an Easy-R badge at the rear, but that’s about it. The Triber is a compact 7-seater and measures under 4 metres in length, and yet it manages to look very proportionate. The styling is pleasant to look at, and the design has an “offend-none” feel. Renault also offers some nice colour options with the Triber. The vehicle gets 15-inch steel rims, which have been styled to look like alloys.

Interior

The interior of the AMT variant is again similar to the manual variant, with the only change being the new gear lever and the absence of a clutch. The instrument cluster has a gear position indicator, and it beeps a warning when you shift from N to D or R without pressing the brake pedal. Renault has very smartly packaged the cabin of this 7-seater, and it has decent space in all three rows. The Triber is also decently feature-loaded, and it gets 4 airbags, ABS, touch screen infotainment system, manual AC, power windows, projector headlamps, push-button start, 4 speakers + 2 tweeters, reverse camera, 12V charging socket in the third row, etc. in the top variant which is indeed impressive. The seats are also quite comfortable and at par with other cars in this price range. Renault has also given a lot of importance to storage spaces, which are plenty in the cabin.

Performance

The Renault Triber AMT gets a 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder, petrol engine from the Energy series. It is offered on the Kwid, but it gets Dual VVT on the Triber. This engine is tuned to deliver 53 kW at 6250 RPM and 96 Nm at 3500 RPM, which is the same output as the manual variant. The engine is quiet at low revs but gets vocal after you cross 2500 RPM. It’s a small unit but pulls the car decently. The Triber now gets a 5-speed AMT which feels smoother than the one on Kwid, but yes while up shifting you do feel the head-toss movement that is generally felt in AMTs. When you’re driving fast, gear shifts can feel slow, but when you’re easy on the throttle, it feels smoother and manageable. Downshifts are a bit slow so quick overtakes on the highway need to be planned, otherwise a slow-down shift in the middle of an overtaking manoeuvre can get on your nerves.

The AMT offers decently quick and smooth shifts when you’re easy on the throttle and also gets a manual mode The AMT offers decently quick and smooth shifts when you’re easy on the throttle and also gets a manual mode

There is a manual mode too, and it makes sense to use it on inclines or sometimes to get better control of the gears while overtaking. The engine offers decent driveability in the city, but the power delivery isn’t very punchy, in fact, power is delivered in a flat manner. The Triber won’t disappoint in day-to-day runs, but you might have to take control of the gears sometimes. Renault is also working on a 1.0 turbo petrol engine, and that one should really spice things up.

Driving Dynamics

Just like other Renault cars, the Triber also comes with a very sorted suspension setup. The ride quality is really impressive, and travelling on bad roads doesn’t really unsettle the car or offer a tiring experience to the passengers. The 182 mm ground clearance comes in to be really handy. The steering isn’t as felt as some other Renault cars, and it is quite vague, but it feels very light while driving in the city. The brakes offer good bite and the brake pedal has good progression.

Verdict

The price of the Renault Triber AMT is totally worth it if you are someone who wants convenience and if you are going to drive the car in traffic regularly. This vehicle has always come across as a VFM offering. The Triber doesn’t have any 7-seater rival in this price bracket apart from the Datsun GO+ which is quite smaller in comparison and no longer available as a new vehicle.

Renault Triber vs Maruti Suzuki Ertiga Comparison

Renault released the Renault Triber in the hopes of experiencing another "Kwid" moment. The Kwid was an economical package providing amenities and an SUV-like driving experience previously only seen in larger vehicles. Renault has attempted to do the same with the Triber, but it focuses on the seven-seater MPV market this time.

In its pricing range, The Triber has no serious competitors. There are hatchbacks like the Swift and Grand i10, but you won't give the Triber a second thought if you're considering buying one of these two. However, the Triber makes sense if you're thinking of a 7-seater MPV, like the Maruti Ertiga, but don't have the money for it. 

Engine

There is no denying that the Ertiga, which has a larger engine, provides superior performance and maneuverability. The Renault car, on the other hand, is adequate for solo driving, but when all the seats are occupied, it becomes quite sluggish.

Interior

You will be pleasantly pleased once you enter the Triber. Although there are some harsh plastics to be found, the cabin has been attractively decorated, and the general fit and quality of the panels are good. Although it is a modest seven-seater, subtle details like the knurled finish around the start/stop button give the sense that Renault hasn't brazenly cut corners on luxury components.

Although the Tribe's cabin is fairly decent, it falls well short of the Ertiga's quality. The Maruti MPV features a larger, beige-decorated interior. This creates an enormous interior impression of spaciousness. The materials are also better fitted and finished than on the Triber. The beige fabric will retain sweat stains, a drawback that wouldn't be as significant with the Tribe's dual-tone upholstery. Always compare cars in India before buying any.

 

Features

You will be shocked again after reviewing the brochures for these two vehicles. There are characteristics that both of these vehicles share, features that the Triber offers solely, and features that are unique to the Ertiga. But nowhere is the difference wide enough to justify the approximately Rs 3 lakh Renault Triber price differential between these two automobiles.

Looking at the characteristics that they share. In addition, to push button start/stop, both vehicles are equipped with twin airbags, a touchscreen infotainment system with six speakers, AC vents for the second and third rows, and 12V power outlets for all passengers.

The Triber then begins to differentiate itself with features like two cooled glove boxes, two more airbags, a larger touchscreen, an LED instrument cluster instead of the Ertiga's analog one and LED DRLs.

Fog lamps, second-row seat belts that can be adjusted in height, and alloy wheels help the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga win back some points.

Verdict

If you do most of your driving in cities, the Triber is a wise choice. It can use the third row and perform all tasks that the Ertiga can in the city with relative ease. Even people who own small enterprises and occasionally need to transport small things might benefit from it. To get going, pop out of the back seats. On the other hand, if you often drive on highways, the Ertiga will suit you better. The more powerful engine will feel less taxed on lengthy drives, even when fully loaded.

"Late Night with the Devil" is a horror movie releasing tomorrow about a 70's late night show that has been highly anticipated by the indie film scene.

That is, until reviewers discovered that 3 title cards during the movie were AI generated art. (I couldn't tell myself when I saw the images, but if you look closely enough the telltale signs are there.) Now the same people who were championing it, are boycotting it. I'm not kidding.

These are from the same community that if you ask about a movie by Roman Polanski, Woody Allen, or Harvey Weinstein, talk about "separating the art from the artist." I'm not calling them hypocrites - these are apples to oranges - but the scale of the difference is very funny.

I'm not a fan of AI art, at least in its current incarnation, which promises to replace quality, adequately paid art with industrial slop at a mass scale. I get drawing a line and trying to defend the line.

If anything, it reminds me of tumblr and fan fiction communities. The way the sharpest knives in identity politics aren't out for Republicans and white men and grey tribers - no these days they are wielded against authors who have five intersectional flags but offend against a sixth. Because you can't hurt the mega-establishment, but you can hurt the queer POC author next door.

Which just makes the insular progressive communities hellscapes without proportionality.

No enemies but the in-in-in-in-in-group.

Zutara my OTP for Atla.

I can respect Tophaang.

But I got to be honest....

I really like the idea of Aang and Ty Lee. I think those personalities would bounce fun energy and creativity and a love for the world and all kts colors righr off of each other.

I follow the (unpopular) opinion that Ty Lee is a descendant of Airbenders.

Anyway. Maybe one day I'll write an AU where Ty Lee is a water triber and hers is the first face Aang's face sees in the new world.

[toranoya]

Jet...

Sokka sighed as he came up behind Jet, his expression serious. "I need to talk to you, Jet. It's important." After a few moments, the water triber continued. "I've noticed you've been getting more reckless lately. Taking bigger risks, getting into more dangerous situations."

"I know you can handle yourself," Sokka said, his voice softening. "But that doesn't mean you're invincible. You got people that care about you."

I read a post (https://www.tumblr.com/triberation/167847038942) that was like a lesbian positivity post and it was nice and I was about to reblog it but the ending 💀

And while I agree that we do need lesbian only spaces they didn’t need to use blatant transphobia

That really shows what they think of trans lesbians. Their entire post is about lesbian positivity and lesbian only spaces but they want to exclude trans lesbians from lesbian spaces…

The lesbian community segregating themselves with stuff like radical feminism, transphobia, aro/ace phobia, and gold star bullshit is infuriating.

My Not-so-Brief Review of Gene Catlow (Part 4)

It's Day 2 of my Gene Catlow review! In this part we'll talk about rest of the Family members, Canovians, Guest Characters and Furriston citizens.

Characters (Part 3)

Another human in the Family of Intelligent Life is Charles Horowitz or “Mickey Rooney”, he is pitiable fragile old man who eventually becomes an overly 1930’s cartoon character type character after he is “adopted” by a bunch of salamanders, and he gains a love interest in form of an indian woman whose name I forgot. We know nothing about Horowitz’s past, he seems to be more like a child in the body of an old man, even before joining the Family. Like I said before, he is fond of “stinkybutt” as an insult. He becomes the programmer for the Family alongside his hindu waifu, and insults The Hosts and then kinda loses relevance. Lastly let’s talk about someone decent and kind of underused, Ernie. Ernie is a bunny who is on a wheelchair due to crippling disease. He is not only Gene’s first bunny friend before Cotton, he is also an intellectual and he is the first one to break Gene the news about his tech master abilities. He later joins the Family and becomes researcher for the group. Ernie is decent but despite being in the comic since the beginning he is barely used. His status as a researcher and being Gene’s longtime friend could have had some interesting effects in the comic like, maybe he is the one who tells Gene to learn to control his other self instead of Catwhis, or maybe he was an old friend of Matt’s? Idk. We never really get anything with the guy but instead we get like a million scenes with Treeka Birds doing stupid shit so that tells you where Albert’s priorities are. Let’s end this with two original characters the introduction of Family created, Cyberfly and Simmy. They suck. Moving on.

The Canovians basically become the side cast for most of Cotton’s post-first arc adventures. These Ancient Canovians have been stuck in a timebubble for eons, and as such they live really boring lives, which Cotton and Tavatiana slowly realize. There’s Big Bunny leader guy who is another character without a proper name, he’s oddly enough the only First Triber in the group who doesn’t look like a weird immortal alien ghost rabbit thingy. All we know about him is that Michelle tells him to not be mean, and he’s been at war with Felin Family for years without knowing what their leaders look like. Also he seems to disappear completely halfway through the comic. The rabbit mentor characters who are more prevalent in the comic are Old Doe and Old Buck, two really old rabbits who can build self-aware puppets like Dorzoi and Forzoi. Old rabbits coincidentally not only are critics of Canovia order but also they have strong connections with both Forzoi and Friendship Island. I would argue they’re the 456th mentor archetype in this comic, but since they’re mortals and not Gods, spirits or puppets, they’re more human-like, and they actively help Cotton, Tavie and Michelle with their problems. There’s some shit to them that make them shady though, and it’s implied they were present at the birth of Jesus??? We also have the demmmmons, a cabal of evil bunnies who have lived in Canovia for a long time, only two demmmmons survive to the end of the comic, Gimpo and One-Eye, they’re probably another example of a well-executed redemption. They actually feel guilt for their actions, and feel that they don’t deserve cheap forgiveness from the bunnies they hurt. Of course they’re forgiven because them biting the father bunny helped the bunnies to develop a cure which eradicated the demmmmons. Honestly the demmmmons are such a dumb concept they shouldn’t have been introduced in the first place, but even I think that’s an overkill. Gimpo and One-Eye however are decent and should’ve had more screentime even if their names suck. Lastly there’s Clayton, the bunny traitor who joined Felin Family because he felt Canovians couldn’t do “change”. Clayton is an interesting concept of a character who gets redeemed almost instantly, mainly because of his creepy relationship with Michelle. Clayton actually turns out to be a chosen one who can bring Canovia to present day. This brings out an interesting aspect of his personality where he seems to become cocky when he returns to Canovia, seemingly becoming a rival for Cotton and undermining his achievements. This is either never followed upon, or maybe it would have been had Albert not died.

Then we have all sorts of guest characters, not counting the ones Albert created under a pseudonym like Catwhis, Burlington, Moonlight, C-Eagle and so forth. We see a shitton of them during the Grandville Festival section of the first arc, and they’re all pretty hideous, though one of them seems to foreshadow the existence of “Other selves” in this comic’s universe. There are two prevalent guest characters after this arc however, the first one is Jack, yes, Dave Hopkins’s Jack. Jack takes the role of Death, and for a character created by an actual rapist he is a massive pushover. He has no issue with Dawn and Dusk healing people and destroying the natural order of life and death. He doesn’t allow certain characters to die if they still have something to do, but “everyone will meet him eventually”, but that just seems like he’s granting every important character a plot armor, of course Bob does eventually die, but he doesn’t allow him to die until he has talked for a bit, but I’m getting ahead of myself. Another guest character is Oliver Simons’ Jamie Abrams, the driver of the dimension hopping cab. He works more like a plot device than a character not to mention he is sort of a plothole as well, but at least he sticks to doing his own thing and doesn’t really want to be part of the World of Friends.

Then we move on to Furriston’s citizens, many of which didn’t really get any prominent roles after the first arc. There is Mayor Donald Horseface who only plays a big role in the first arc and then disappears, and then returns to do a quick MLP:FiM reference and disappear again. There is the rhino guy, Gene’s boss, who seems to also disappear, even though he is stated to be behind the Family of Intelligent Life’s second skins. He never appears after the second Friendship Island arc though. Another member of Gene’s company is Edd, the joke is he sucks at his work, but unlike other characters in this comic he gets a happy ending as he gets Gene’s job after Gene joins the Family. We never see him again, and we can all be happy for him. Then there’s Bev, the owner of the cafeteria our protagonists visit a lot. She is an asshole who almost kills Cotton due to saying confidential information, and she abuses Eubie and even forces her to work for free. I have no sympathy of any kind for her, even with her brief role in the furry-human war. The three bodyguards have also been prevalent since the beginning of the comic but I don’t have anything to say about them, besides the Big Dog’s stupid sudden redesign. Another characters that I want to talk about are the Original Animen, AKA Stagglers. Haha, I remember when I was frustrated about how it took FOREVER for this comic to reveal the true nature of these guys. The Original Animen are the ancestors of both humans and furries, the missing link that connects them. Naturally animen are being hunted by both parties because their existence pretty much makes all of their racism meaningless. Michael Alan Avariss had a child with their leader, The Elder Mother, and had a son, Stephen. I have to say the reveal of Stephen as Elder Mother’s daughter is still one of the best plot twists in this entire comic. It’s a decent mystery that isn’t too vague, but also not too predictable and the reveal really pays off. However after their establishment, the Stagglers move to Friendship Island and they really don’t matter anymore. Stephen also does some stupid shit in the background, constantly bitching about his daddy issues. I guess even Albert forgot about him. In my opinion, the strongest part of Furriston is Bob. Bob was a radio host crow who while on camera and radio had the personality of a psychopathic TV host, but behind the scenes he was a grumpy smoking miserable asshole who wanted to use Cotton to eradicate humans. Bob was a great character and his redemption was well-executed, he ends up joining the Stagglers and bonding with them as he decides to take down the Avariss billboard in hopes of redeeming himself. He then gets shot by Michael Alan Avariss, and after brief visit with Jack, he comes back from the dead briefly and then dies for good. I wish we got more characters like Bob through the comic, those who were willing to die in order to have a positive impact on the world, it would’ve made this comic just a bit more real.

The Sacred Valley

Impulsive like me, Irene booked a last minute trip to come visit me in Cusco. Only a few days before she left, Jonathan decided to tag along as well. They arrived on Thursday morning and I met up with them briefly before their walking tour.

We connected again for a romantic dinner at Rucula where we sat and chatted for hours. It was so nice to have them in town! For dessert, we met up with Garrett at Qucharitas to split some peculiar nitrogen ice cream flavors along with picarones which is a type of donut made with sweet potato, squash, and star anise. That makes it healthy right?

On Friday morning I actually had a lot of work to do, but I finally managed to make it out to a not so quick lunch with Irene. Later, a bunch of the tribers met up at the San Blas Market to start off our cooking class. Our chef gave us a tour, which was needed due to the sheer size of the market and the variety of its offerings.

Once we got to the kitchen, we made maracuyá sours - cocktails with ice, pisco, passionfruit, eggwhites, and simple syryp. For the appetizer we assembled a Japanese-influenced ceviche and for the main course we made quinoa-encrusted oyster mushrooms/alpaca. With all the jokes back and forth, we never thought we would make it out of there to catch our bus to the Sacred Valley. We actually had to skip dessert!

The majority of the group rented a lavish house together in the Sacred Valley. In the morning, chefs made a nice breakfast spread before we got ready to get on our tour bus. Due to a series of miscommunications and unfortunate circumstances, the bus was an hour late so some of us took a stroll around the town of Urquillos. The town appeared to be run by stray dogs although there was soon to be a mayoral race which was split on the important issues - corn vs. cows.

Our first adventure for the day was an ATV tour to Moray which is a terraced architectural Inca site. Along the way, we got a great view of the landscape and saw a variety of livestock. Next, we climbed to the top of the Ollantaytambo ruins which signifies the beginning of the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.

The last stop of the trip was the Maras Salt Mines which are composed of over 5,000 pools and were established over 500 years ago. Back at the house, chefs cooked us dinner and we started heating the wood-fired hot tub. We spent the majority of the night in the tub, which we squeezed 10 of us into! The night ended with s'mores around the fire pit.

Sunday was spent at Mountain Views Maras which is a glamping spot with, as expected, expansive mountain views, a nice restaurant, and alpacas, llamas, and horses. All afternoon, we fed the animals with corn husks and did photoshoots. It was so special being able to be in such close proximity to these big animals for a prolonged period of time.

On our way back home we stopped at a textile place where they gave us a demo on how the yarn is made and dyed.
