🥳 The good news is that #games can be #compelling even if they are not #entertaining!

(Just like a film! Or a book!)

We've been down this road many times - for many years - and are so pleased that, despite folks who thought it was not possible, games continue to become more #diverse and their communities continue to grow in size and scope.

🏆 Games have special powers which are difficult to reproduce through other media forms. This is just one reason many groups turn to intentionally designed #bespoke games to help make the world a better place for all of us

❤️ We are proud of the designers, developers, writers, and artists worldwide who've created games which have helped countless young people and their communities thrive.

Since this post is about fashion, let me start by answering the question that I am sure will be on your mind upon seeing my name. No, I am not related to The Beau. However, I love dandyism as a whole, and I took this name in tribute. I am also working to have his book, Male and Female Costume, published online freely, but that's for another post and time. At any rate, I am forty-one and am passionate about antique menswear, Regency as a scholarly pursuit, and Edwardian for daily wear. Naturally, I am constantly researching and trying to expand upon my knowledge. I am totally blind, so I must rely on descriptions rather than images.

I am the type who would like to wear a three-piece suit and accessories everywhere I go. I've decided that for my first one, I should get a lounge suit, since I can wear it almost anywhere during the day, provided it's not a formal occasion. I will eventually have morning wear, white tie, black tie, and informal evening wear, but that's for later. I have found some sites which create reproductions of men's Edwardian suits, but most use synthetic materials and/or zippers, which I refuse to wear, and none uses fabrics of the proper thickness. I found sites that make women's suits with men's specifications (no ridiculous enhancements of breasts, butt, shallow pockets, soft colours, buttons on the wrong sides of shirts, etc.) but they only make modern clothing. Ebay and Etsy occasionally have some authentic pieces, but most are too formal for daily use, even by Edwardian standards! I am also having difficulty with finding some accessories, such as proper ties and socks without elastic. My other option is to have a suit commissioned, but for that, I need to find a good tailor. The best in the world, in my opinion, is Zack Pinsent, but he's in England and I'm in America (New Jersey).

I am seeking those who share my interest in antique menswear, and perhaps some advice as to where I can find such clothing and/or accessories. Even a bathing suit would be great, since we do own a saltwater pool.

Among the most amazing pieces of free/libre software I tested in the last few months (but not limited to...) are:

-#Ardour 7.0 (wow! remember launching versions 1.0 then 2.0!! so featurefull, flexible, robust now!)

-#SurgeXT, one of many new free/libre synths, part of the surge-synthesizer.github.io/ suite

- #Bespoke, incredible DAW reminding of AudioMulch (!)

- #Hydrogen, one of the first mature audio software that gave me hope 15y ago, as a drum machine.

-#Vitalium

yet didnt touch #VCVRack...

Does a #bobble make a hat? Or is it just a pointless hat component? 😉

I have to say I am a fan of a good bobble even if it does make it tricky to put up my hood when it rains 😉😃.
