  • A black round-neck sleeveless jumpsuit with 3/4 length legs made from an extremely flowy fabric. That particular jacket would look nice with a wide black belt, white tennis shoes, a white pleather crescent bag, and white rectangle sunglasses. For jewellery I’d go with silver bracelets/bangles, a small charm necklace and a longer necklace with only a simple round medallion.

    Now I want that jacket 😂


  • A year or so ago I bought a nice handbag that came with a smaller removable bag on the inside that I keep everything in. It sure makes changing bags easier since every handbag I own can accommodate that smaller bag 🤣

    Forgot to mention that inside the wallet there is also a few doses of paracetamol and ibuprofen for headaches as well as cetirizine for allergies. My partner loves the fact that I have her covered in case of emergency ☺️


  • Hairbrush, zipper wallet with cards and a little bit of cash for emergencies, a small bottle of perfume (Victoria’s Secret Coconut Passion, my partner got it as a gift in 2013 and never used it lol), phone cable and sometimes a battery bank, pack of travel tissues, a pill bottle with 2 days of my ADHD meds in case I forgot to take them, a few cotton buds for if my eyeliner transfers to the lower lid, a few cotton pads for cleaning up any cakey looking makeup or runs from being too warm, tinted lip balm, lip gloss, a reusable shopping bag, a travel umbrella, and the apartment keys.

    Might need a Bag of Holding tbh.



  • Is it because developers are often using dependencies that are ahead of release versions?

    That has been my experience recently. I had the same mindset as you until a critical piece of software I use shat the bed on Arch (LiveCaptions) that affected my being able to watch training videos for work.

    Because it was time critical and I didn’t feel like possibly breaking other things for one package, I grabbed the flatpak. It came with its own nvidia driver package (mine was newer) and it worked out of the box without having to mess with anything and that was enough to change my hardline view on that.

    Now it’s just another tool to use in an emergency when important things randomly break.















  • They can’t even use a lot of these IPs anymore.

    That’s the thing though. Gamers have a special kind of amnesia that gets triggered every time BIG_IP_OF_THEIR_LIKING releases a new sequel or edition. The communities on Lemmy and reddit are unfortunately not indicative of how the wider audience actually perceives games. We’re a fringe group, and the publishers/studios bank hard on that. The uneducated and apathetic masses are their target audience. If the gaming world listened to the likes of Lemmy and reddit users, micro/macrotransactions, early-access hell, and half-finished releases wouldn’t have become common practice. But here we are.

    Fallout is now associated with 76 unless you’re thinking of Obsidian.

    You may be right. Fallout 76 has however seen a record number of players since the show aired. That’s commonplace with most gaming franchises when a film or TV series comes out. See also: The Last of Us, and SWTOR when The Mandalorian came out.

    (I personally think of Neverwinter Nights 2 when thinking of Obsidian. t’was peak gaming)

    Blizzard is a shell of its old self, cutting interest in Warcraft, Starcraft, and Overwatch.

    I agree with you here. In reality, Blizzard still consistently has queue issues when releasing a new WoW expansion or game, even after all this time. They know it happens, and won’t scale up for launch day on WoW retail AND Classic. Their target audience eats that shit up and I’m saying this as a former player that quit during Battle for Azeroth. No comment on Starcraft as I quit when the OG Starcraft scene died down on aus-1 back in the day. Overwatch 1 was seeing incredible numbers when I played from launch until Moria was released. OW2 being a pay-to-win shit show ate into their numbers until they gave up the pay-to-win bullshit. I see more and more of my friends and streamers playing it again now that Bobby Kotick is gone. I’m quite disappointed in some of them, but it is what it is.

    There’s rumors even Call of Duty is struggling to retain relevance in new releases.

    Good thing they’re just rumours until the earnings report comes. Sony has poorly-redacted court documents stating that CoD is their bread and butter on the playstation. There’s no way that’s changing in the forseeable future (at least not in the billions of dollars range), even with the absolute shit-show that was MW3. When MW4 comes out, the diehard fans will forget it even happened, as they have with every single release since its inception.
