Not publicly, but he just checked into LOCALS and disables the chat history where all the speculation occurred.
That is very rare for him to wipe the chat history like that, correct? I don't recall reading about him doing that very often on the thread.
He thirsted after a stranger online, which is always embarassing. Him being a married man is what made it pathetic.
The stranger actually being a dude is what makes it hilarious.
Not just thirsted, but weeks after MANdy added Nick on Discord, Nick was giving "her" the hard sell while live on stream to thousands of people about meeting in person at Matsuri, and talking about how he would have to "prep Lady Rackets" and tell her if "Mandy" was going to be there.
As I said before, every single troon and catfish fetishists all try craft the "perfect woman". This woman is always:
1. Bisexual.
2. A gamer.
3. Has male interests.
4. Exotic.
5. A goth.
6. A former stripper or prostitute.
It is just obvious now that Nick always wanted the sexually promiscuous goth gamer girl that he had fantasy about in high school. He never wanted to be with a girly, uppity, white, Christian suburban woman like Kayla. He wants that big titty bisexual goth waifu who plays Warhammer 40k with him and is open to engaging in three ways with him and another woman. I just want Nick and other men to know that that woman does not exist nor will she ever exist. You are all destroying your lives for a fantasy that will never come true. Either come to terms with the fact that your dream girl does not exist or continue to be a laughingstock for us here on the Farms.
Nick accidentally gave the game away about how easy a mark he was for MANdy a couple days ago when he responded to the superchatter calling him lucky for having a long marriage by saying that a lucky man would have a wife who wanted to sign a prenup and suck his dick 700 times a year or whatever. Imagine being his wife for nearly 20 years who has five kids with the guy and seeing him drunkenly slur that. He's a gross coomer and he has a less mature perspective on relationships than someone a third of his age.
The funny thing about reviewing all of MANdy's comments in the YouTube live chat is to see how Buffalo Dan changed her background over time. Of the course of 2021, "Mandy" varied between being a current and former Hooter's waitress before eventually landing on "former" and turning into a mechanic. In other words, the Hooter's waitress thing must have played well with the TF2 people, but Dan eventually decided that "girl mechanic" would play better with Rekieta and/or his fanbase.
As @Himedall All-seeing Waifu said earlier, it is possible that we're looking at a stepfather when looking at Randy Smith. Whoever he is, Dan definitely knows Randy, because he posted a reply on his In memoriam page under the Daniel Harris name, and then (as "Mandy") relied on a picture of Randy Smith lying in a hospital bed in Nick's Locals.
Correct, the obituary lists Daniel P. Harris as well has his brother Joseph as the "son" of Randy Smith, meaning Randy was either his father or stepfather. If the latter, they may not have bothered with the "step" distinction.
In terms of the posting on the memorial page, Dan Harris is a common enough name that it theoretically might not be him posting that. There's nothing in the posting that made it 100% clear that it was him, so I didn't include it in the post for that reason.
