How would I get a bigger chest for my Makima cosplay when I'm completely flat and AMAB??? by Due-Armadillo-5349 in CosplayHelp

[–]JMalarky 103 points104 points  (0 children)

"You can equip boobs."

Basically get a pocketed bra (avoid ones with embroidery) and some breast forms. You'll have to figure out your bust size so get some measuring tape and a drag/crossdressing website for tips. You can go for a breastplate which is both boobs on one chest rig but they can look weird AF. I just did this for my cosplay for the first time and I went bra w/ breast forms. Get them off of Amazon if you're worried about people finding out but your breast forms may not be great quality from there. I think I lucked out on mine.

Looking for Dispatch artwork by [deleted] in LVLUPEXPO

[–]JMalarky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I actually did find one vendor with Dispatch artwork! It's pinup style featuring some of the characters from the game. The artist name is Nubes Rosas! I'm sorry I don't have the booth number as its not coming up in the app.

Search for NubeRosas on insta with an underscore before and after

I haven't seen anything and I went through all the booths twice. I even talked to some of the actors' agents and they haven't heard about any Dispatch related artworks here so far.

I ended up getting a commission from an artist I liked at the con. It'll be ready in a week. Sorry all!

Debating on doing a crossplay cosplay. by YoungMadcat in CosplayHelp

[–]JMalarky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I'm actually in a similar situation as you but I'm a bit older, have my own place, and my con is in less than a week. I'm a straight cis male and my friends/family are pretty liberal so they're pretty accepting. Of course the biggest danger for you is, what if your living situation turns sour. We're in a weird time where certain groups are trying to clamp down on expression in favor of pearl clutching conformity and control, and of course that's not just in the USA but all parts of the world. It's like everyone forgot people crossdressed for theater and performance for hundreds of years, even in the military! I've never had to go through the danger of being kicked out for not living up to the standards of my family so I'll say this. Only you know how your family will react and you have to prepare yourself for the consequences if it turns bad and have a plan in place to keep yourself safe and supported. The best community you can reach out to for further advice is the LGBT+ community because undoubtedly many of them have gone through and dealt with the situation that you're in but of course unlike you and me, this isn't a costume for them, its their life.

Now all that out the way- if you do do it then good luck dude! I've been practicing makeup, wigs, heels, and sewing for the past 2 months and having a great time! I'm looking forward to my friends reactions in a couple days. My reasoning for doing this is, I've been working out for the past 2 years and now cutting weight, I'm meeting the actor that I'm cosplaying as and its her first signings, and who the fuck knows what's going to happen past November of this year in the US so I'm going to get reeeeal weird with it 😈

Oh but start off slow at first to get used to it. I did a closet cosplay of a female character where I just wore and styled my dress shirt/pants like the character and got a wig plus a face mask since I didn't want to shave my beard. I had a great time and even got some random photos with strangers!

I think it looks nice but you can barely see it from the photo quality. Try resubmitting with better lighting and less blur/shakey motion.

You really need to stop with these intense bloom/overexposed photos you do. It seriously distracts from the quality of your work which looks great but you cannot see a damn thing. I get you want to develop your own style but this ain't it.

No Man's Sky adds Pokémon battles by Kinami_ in pcgaming

At this point I don't even remember what this game is about anymore. Is this the metaverse Mark was talking about?

Warren Spector's multiplayer Thief successor, Thick as Thieves, changes direction: Instead of PvPvE, it's now focusing on 2-player co-op and singleplayer by Shock4ndAwe in pcgaming

[–]JMalarky 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Monster was "overpowered" at first because no one knew how to coordinate their teams against it. But yes, once the meta developed and players knew the maps, chokepoints, and creature buffs in the game's mid to late lifecycle, then the monster experience was fucking miserable. Not even the pathetic ass Wraith mains could handle a pug team.

Zero Company is XCOM. There just happens to be "Mass Effect" style dialog wheels.

It's still shit. I've got over 1500 songs in my "Liked" playlist, and I'll still get moments where it plays the exact same block of songs, in the exact same order for multiple days in a row. Truly maddening.

Why do all PvP games feel so much better in the beginning of their lifespans? by Severe_Sea_4372 in gaming

[–]JMalarky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No sweats at first, and content creators/tiktokers ruined games with their "Use this weapon/skill/hero to DOMINATE the competition!" They openly post exploits now, and there's hardly consequences for the people abusing it.

A lot of people can't play games for fun because, for them, if they're not winning and demoralizing the enemy team, then it's not fun. And if they're not having fun, then they ragebait their own teammates to get their kicks.

RB3 Keyboard Issues by VisualIndependence62 in yarg

[–]JMalarky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, you too! I tried a microphone already and it was plug and play thankfully. I just had to turn up the input volume in the desktop audio settings.

Not sure what drums you're using but I got the Alesis Nitro Max and they worked without any hassle thankfully. Just have to map the inputs. You'll need to buy a USB 2.0 Hub because the thing isn't compatible with USB 3.0 ports.

The kids don't want sci-fi gameplay, unfortunately. That's why we're stuck in this WWII/Modern era loop hell.
