  There are a few companies that go out of their way to make pants for women with pockets. Nothing at any local retailer an it sucks to buy clothes online when you can try them on, especially since women’s sizing is an absolute nightmare.

  I buy men’s work out clothes so I can have pockets when I’m lounging around the house.

  I have tried any of their software/firmware. They do, however, have great info on the device itself and they archive all manufacturer firmware. I used their docs and archived firmware to fix mine.

  You’re wrong about why women’s clothes don’t have pockets. Women were never given a choice to buy clothing with pockets.

  Initially, pockets were not accessible in women’s clothing due to the layers they were required to wear. After the suffragette movement when liberated women began to wear pants, designers intentionally kept pockets small to prop up the purse industry.

  Handbags are one of the most profitable items in the fashion industry.

  I can see you don’t spent much time with women.

  Women aren’t choosing pants with shitty pockets intentionally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leaker Who Apple Is Suing Says 'Screw It,' Here's the Foldable iPhone Early⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Most of them are. I can really only carry things in back pockets, but then it makes sitting awkward.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leaker Who Apple Is Suing Says 'Screw It,' Here's the Foldable iPhone Early⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Even jeans that aren’t skin tight don’t have full pockets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leaker Who Apple Is Suing Says 'Screw It,' Here's the Foldable iPhone Early⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The biggest problem with these is the price. Apple wants us on a two year upgrade cycle but these phones are $1500-2000. That’s insane.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leaker Who Apple Is Suing Says 'Screw It,' Here's the Foldable iPhone Early⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the idea of a foldable phone but what I really want is a phone that folds enough to fit in my women’s pants pockets.

  Wtf. Of a physical copy? You got screwed more than most people in the comment section.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you preorder games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You make some really good points. The game I’m referring to is Osiris Reborn from The Expanse series, my favorite book series of all time.

  It’s not exactly an unheard of IP and the developer is what I could consider midsized. That’s why I was leaning towards not doing it at all.

  My only motivation is how passionate I am about this series and wanting to see more games, books, shows, movies, etc set in that world. I want to be proactive in spending my money thoughtfully to encourage development in places I support.

  Obviously, one preorder isn’t going to change that for this game and a preorder would likely do more harm to me than it would be to the series if I don’t preorder.

  I’m usually pretty staunchly again preorders since I think it’s bad for players as a whole (and often for devs too), but, if I’m being honest with you, I would probably have done it if my favorite series was being done by a small indie dev team so they could have as much money upfront to make the game as good as it can be.

  For a moment, I thought this video was about the game I was debating on, 12 years too early! (The Expanse Osiris Reborn.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you preorder games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for specifying how you decide. I know most people don’t preorder at all and there is some skepticism toward Early Access. I expected most comments to just say that, which is why I really appreciate the detail you added.

  Nope. It’s physical location, and in Europe, you have to verify your physical location every so-many days.

  I was going on vacation to Europe so I was going to try it, but my trip got cancelled.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you preorder games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The game I was considering does have a collector’s addition but it’s $300 for some physical collector’s items that I don’t think are worth the price.

  I don’t think I’m going to preorder at all, but the whole thing got me thinking about it the subject.

  I’m happy with mine. It’s loud but as long as it’s in a room with the door closed, I can ignore it.

  Don’t care about multi color printing. I wanted to be able to print a variety of filaments and it can handle that.

  I had some issues with buggy software at first but I got updated firmware from Open Centauri and it’s been good ever since.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I am inclined to agree except it wasn’t intentionally later disclosed. From my understanding, they gave an interview and mentioned it briefly. If they did end up disclosing it to the awards, it wasn’t until the day that they were announced as the winner. That’s kind of icky.

  But I do agree with you that whoever spoke to the award committee probably didn’t even know about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I kinda feel like Clair Obscur is sort of stretching the definition of indie game.

  I guess _technically _ it is.

  I’m not saying every game needs to be made in someone’s garage and take 12 years to make, but it sounds like this game was completely funded by Kepler and parts of the game were outsourced to other companies. Sandfall is made up of experienced developers from places like Ubisoft. Kinda feels like Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise made their own movie with funding from a lesser known subdivision of Warner Bros, outsourced SFX to 300 animators, and called it indie because they filmed it with 10 people.

  I do think Clair Obscur is a fantastic game and deserves to be Game of the Year (aside from the AI use). Sandfall and Kepler did a great job with a reported budget of $10M(!) and I especially appreciate what Kepler is doing to support the gaming industry.

  I guess I see the point of the award to inspire people to believe they shouldn’t give up on their dreams by recognizing small teams making games outside of the traditional industry. I just don’t feel like Sandfall qualifies.

  In the end, it’s not my award and they can give it to whoever they want!

  I initially did but I saw you comment on another post clarifying. I opted to leave my comment up because the movie going experience is important to me and I wanted to share it with others. :)

  I think there are some people that don’t like things and they don’t want anyone to like things either.

  Yeah there are a lot of a super hero slop movies built on an assembly line, but to someone out there, a favorite character or story they liked as a kid is real for 2 hours. Maybe they got teased for loving Shazam, and now they are grown and can just leave their problems behind and watch a dumb Shazam movie.

  I always think every movie that gets made is sort of a miracle. Hundreds, sometimes thousands, of people work on a piece of art and they have to compromise or it doesn’t happen. That’s so rare in our world.

  I go to the theater every Sunday morning to the earliest showings of that day.

  The theater chain in my town has a monthly subscription. $20/month and I can see 4 movies a week.

  I don’t always love the theater itself, but the experience of seeing movies in theaters is very different than watching at home and I love that feeling.

  I’m actively choosing to go to a new location in a dark room without distractions, to turn off my phone, to not speak, and to give the movie my full and complete attention. There’s something to that, which is hard for me to explain, but it changes my relationship to the movie.

  Sometimes people are shitty, talking or texting, but I find that it doesn’t actually happen much. Perhaps I has something to do seeing early movies, rather than prime time. I don’t know.

  Unless something happens to drastically alter my ability to enjoy the experience, I don’t foresee that I will ever stop going.
