I'm starting my journey through Morrowind using OpenMW and Tamriel Rebuilt and project Cyrodill and Skyrim, home of the nords, and my goal with this playthrough is to _not_ look things up as much as possible, while also not installing mods that make the game more "modern." So I have a paper journal to track things in, etc. And to prevent me from having to draw a small map of the section of Tamriel things are in on every page, I was wondering:

Is there a blank, like completely blank, just black and white outlines map of Tamriel that I can print out and make an atlas? I make half-page zines all the time, and having a tamriel map zine to put in my game journal, that I can annotate and draw on and stuff like that sounds amazing.

Attempting to google, most of what I can find is people wanting the opposite: fully annotated world maps so they can look things up when they are playing. I did find the water map on the tamriel rebuilt wiki, i think, which is close, and only has the bodies of water annotated, but I wanted to see if y'all knew of one through institutional knowledge that would be more perfect for what I need.

I'm the only developer at my job, and I failed forward into this position. Because I'm solo, I know that the real answer is "Whatever makes sense to you" but i want to build good habits.

I've looked at all of the charts and simulations and theories, but like, what buttons do I press to make TBD work?

Gitflow has caused issues, whenever a feature leapfrogs something else. So the Development branch might have a Big Feature that the stakeholders are debating, but then a Small Feature gets approved right away, and so to move that small feature to prod is a cherry-picking, rebasing, merge nightmare, and I don't want that to happen anymore.

But, all of the discussions I can see are academic, and not really a "When you come into work in the morning, you make a daily branch, and at the end of the day, you merge it into main, and if you're ready to release you do XYZ" sort of thing.

I'm using vercel, too, which seems allergic to TBD, so that's another wrinkle.

I want to build good habits in case we ever hire another developer to work with me, or if I leave this job and join a larger team, or if I decide to contribute to an Open Source project.

I just completely don't understand how to actually do it.

inb4 financial advice: already froze credit and cards are on their way, this is just for bag recs.

My purse must have fallen out of my laundry cart on the way back from the laundromat, and the “Good Samaritan” who called in my license and such liked it a lot and kept the bag and my random ephemera inside of it.

Thankfully I had gotten real bad about remembering to put my tech in it and literally none of my electronics were in it at time of theft.

But the thing is, I’m like “compares the price of different generic ramen” levels of strapped for cash rn.

I got a random $8 bag on amazon to let me live my life, but I want a better quality one, come a few paychecks from now.

There are so many cheap garbo bags like the $8 one I got, and many of them are that garbo but priced higher, just to make looking difficult.

So I am looking for recommendations that meet my needs:

I like cross-body / sling type bags.

I prefer neutral colors bc it’s my EDC and I want it to go with everything.

My normal Load out is:

- Solo RPG journal (A5ish in size, about 1.5 inches thick)

- my miyoo mini flip (smaller than a GBA SP)

- My HiBy M300 (iPod classic ish sized)

- wired headphones for Hiby

- iPhone 14 (but am soon downsizing to a flip phone)

- BT headphones for phone

- main wallet with 4 cards and an ID

- extended wallet / coin pouch for loyalty cards and stuff like that. Still small, maybe 10 cards thick?

- colgate wisp toothpick/brushes

- pack of gum

- a Kobo Libra 2 (but this is the prime candidate to leave at home)

I like dividers and pouches and pockets to keep things organized and give everything a home.

My budget absolutely maxes out at $50 but ideally I would get something around 30-35.

my previous bag was from Skysper:

and it was nice but the main compartment only had two loose pouches so it both didn't organize well, and would make it hard to access stuff on the bottom of the bag.

i also would drop stuff out of the “easy access” compartment all the time, so I could deal without having one.

I really liked the hidden pouch as a small place to keep my wallets so they had a home, but really any pocket works for that.

there are a few slings from JSAUX and TomToc that are made for Switch / steamdeck that have a lot of little bits for accessories that my tech would fit in, but most of them have Gaming Handheld specific things that would be a waste for me, like game card slots or rigid joystick protectors.

I really like the look of the Alpaka Bravo Mini V2, but even their deeply discounted clearance price is the highest end of my budget.

anyways I feel like I’m rambling now, because I am, I’m just trying to use this as an opportunity to improve what was almost good enough.

TL;DR: cheap but not trash Crossbody recs for someone with 3-5 EDC tech doodads?
