Except for that blue cadet-style cap you got in Colorado that you liked because it, combined with your beard, made you look vaguely like a train conductor or a maybe a Union soldier and also expressed your love of mountains which you wear almost every morning when walking your dog to hide your bed-head.
Texas: Y'all ain't gotta wait 'till yer 30! You can put on a Stetson soon as yer old enough for mutton bustin' and wear that sucker for the rest of yer got-danged life!
Still better than me with baseball cap :D hats like fedora or panama are amazingly great fit for me. Proper size. Trilby (the type of fedora on the picture), is not that fashionable, tho. But wrong size and this picture made the bad reputation for almost all fedoras, except the Linux one.
I was about to make a joke about a dumb novelty hat I wore my senior year of college... then realized I wore it so much that if I did so, there'd be a non-zero chance I might accidentally dox myself lol
I'm sure they were mass produced, but Murphy's Law is a cruel mistress haha
I had a period in my early 20s when I wore one if these:
I had no thought behind it, just liked it, but many thought it was to look older. Haven't really worn a hat since then, only a beanie during winter but not at all in a "define my personality" way. Guess I gotta go and find something, definitely some hippie thing!
I bought one like this recently, because I shave my head and without one it's either too cold or too sunny. I love it, but my kids keep saying it's an "old man's hat". I don't care, I've had people in the street stop me to tell me it looks good .
I started shaving my head at 23. Hats make my head sweaty and they're uncomfortable. Also the confidence to not wear a hat makes you stand out for a certain kind of woman.
My hat's a tactical cap with hook-and-loop mounting points, where I change out various morale patches based on what I'm feeling that day.
(A lot of times it's the X-COM "vigilo confido" patch haha.)
So does the hat choose my personality? Or does my personality choose the hat? Who's to say. It's flexible and open to change at least. :D
That sounds wicked! I should totally decorate my PC case with an emblem like that too! I'm still using that Corsair C70 that looks like an olive drab ammo box. :D
Awesome (and super spooky) chryssalid figure! I didn't even know they made those. 😲 It definitely does the creature justice!
Now I wonder what other figures there are, but I realize at this point I'm probably better off making my own fan models to 3D print. XD
I don't wanna know how old X-COM WoTC is. I always start it, make a bunch of progress, and then have to abandon it for like half a year at a time. One of these daaaays!!!
I gotta go back and try the classics too. There's open source engines for them now! :D
Surprisingly, I haven't been able to find much merch other than the chryssalids, but it's so far after the fact now that yeah, custom stuff is basically the only way. The chryssalids are still on eBay for about 10 bucks.
I played Enemy Unknown, but most of my time over the past decade(?) has been WOTC. I would have the same pattern of sinking hours into it, then getting distracted, then restarting. Over the past few months, I've been really grinding out Legendary+Ironman and finally just beat it for the first time ever. It took dozens and dozens of attempts. I'm eager to go back and play the original stuff too. I have them on steam, but the UI seems like a challenge to get used to.
PS: I created an XCOM community here when I joined lemmy, but it never really took off. It's probably too niche to have regular content with the size of lemmy. https://lemmy.world/c/xcom
Nearly 50 and don't have a single hat that dominates. I have around 15 that I wear at various times. But most often don't wear one at all. I went through my hat phase in elementary and jr high.
I have a collection of toques for winter and keep another collection of ballcaps from various places, mostly museums and zoos. The one I got for visiting the Smithsonian was a Washington D.C. one, though, and it doesn't cover my head well.
Mine are Poten hats. I like that they're "artisinally" made and the leather sweat band feels unique. Been wearing a synthetic suede hat from them and I like that it looks like suede but is more durable because it's a nylon hat brushed to look/feel like suede...
I'm going bald and still wont wear a hat unless I'm out in the sun. Been thinking of getting a fedora just to laugh at its current status among the simple minded.
