Early to mid 90s cyberpunk games rule, even if the gameplay itself sucks. Angel Devoid is probably the best of example of it, and maybe the best name one could possibly have?

Also gotta love EBM like Frontline Assembly.

I was interested in getting this cozy looking hoodie from Nike/Jordan for awhile. It’s a light brown wool blend that has quite some weight to it. I have the matching basketball shorts (yes, wool shorts — weird I know), but there was what I consider a design flaw that I couldn’t get past.

On the hoodie, there’s a plain white card that was sewed on that says “Why Not?” It was a part of a line of stuff with Russell Westbrook, a basketball player.

I just couldn’t get past that. Looked really dumb on an otherwise nice looking pullover hoodie. I started looking at zoomed pics and got the idea to just get that card removed.

So I bought an $8 thread ripping kit on Amazon, bought the hoodie, and removed the card without any issues.

Can I be a cyber beat poet instead?

That hoodie looks so much better without that "Why Not?" card. I went through a similar situation years back with a North Face backpack I purchased. TNF always has their backpack model names stitched on them, which usually I don't mind, however this one particular model was named "Edwin".

How do you have bags with names like "Hot Shot", "Jester", "Surge", and then throw "Edwin" in the mix? Not that the other names are great, but at least they won't be confused for someone's name. Had to take that "Edwin" stitching off the bag. Lol.

That was actually pretty funny. Naming their backpack with a human name is probably not the best idea. I had a jester in high school in the mid 00s and also had their cyclist hip bag too. Both great products but long gone now.

Yeah that card made no sense at all. Everything else about the hoodie is clean. It’s just that card. Glad I was able to get rid of it. Now it’s a premier piece for the winter months.

Here's a random question: When I try to post pictures on here, I can't post anything larger than 400 KiB, which is like a postage stamp. I see other people post normally sized photos here. What am I doing wrong?

Are you trying to upload the image to Rackbetboy? If so, that is probably the problem. Most people are linking to an image that's uploaded elsewhere on the net using [ img ] [ /img ] tags.

Do what o.pwuaioc said. You can upload the photos to Imgur. Very simply process and then just copy the image link and use those tags.

Ah, that's it. Thanks, guys!

I prefer PostImages, which I've found much simpler and better for organizing photos. Never liked Imgur, it feels more like just another social media app, and especially since they really struggled with uptime a few (?) years back. I switched to PostImages after Flickr moved a bunch of features to their "pro" version. Besides, it's older than Imgur by half a decade and still going strong.
