Can anyone identify this? I know it's Serato but can't figure out which model.

I'm thinking about getting back into mixing and was trying to identify this, but can't figure out the model.

I know it's probably older, and they've changed designs, but I'd still like to know which model it is.

[Fo4] Am I missing the Fallout4 - Main.ba2 file?

I recently reinstalled Fallout 4, it's been a while since I've played/modded it, but I think the Fallout4 - Main.ba2 file is missing.

File Structure

Or am I remembering incorrectly? Was it never there?

I swear it used to be there.

I did verify the download and Steam says everything is there, and the game runs fine.

I'm trying to find some assets for a project I'm working on.

Severe audio stuttering issues when playing videos.

Starting about 2-3 weeks ago I started to have "stuttering" issues when playing videos on Youtube.

I thought at first it was just a YouTube issue, but now I'm not sure.

The videos stutter more the longer I let them play, and it did happen a few times with videos I've played on Facebook Reels and some in VLC, although it didn't happen as often.

Here's what I've tried so far:

uninstalling/reinstalling audio drivers (my audio driver is the most current available)

Changing the Hz of the audio settings.

Changing my power profile to "best performance".

Using Firefox in Safe Mode.

Turning off all add-ons/plug-ins.

Uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox.

Turning off Hardware Acceleration in Firefox.

Switching "media.wmf.dxva.d3d11.enabled" in Firefox to "false".

My BIOS is current.

It does help a bit when I reboot my Laptop, but the issue will start again after a while.

I'm not sure what else I can try other than a complete reinstall of Windows 11, which I'd like to avoid, since I don't know if that will fix the issue.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on or how to fix this? This is getting to the point where I can't even watch videos.

I'm using an HP Zbook 17 G5 Laptop

Windows 11 Pro for Workstations 25H2 (It came with the laptop)

Intel Xeon E-2176M CPU@2.70GHz Hex Core with Hyperthreading

32 GB RAM

NVIDIA Quadro P5200 with 16 GB Video RAM

What's DJ'ing at clubs like now?

It's been a long time since I've been to any Goth/Industrial clubs, but I'm trying not to be such an introvert these days.

But, I was curious, do DJ's still play "stock" tracks, or are they doing their own mixes of popular tracks, or are they creating their own music on the fly?

I'm a bit curious as to what it's like now.

Most of the clubs I'm looking at going to are in the Baltimore/DC/Philly area.

I'm going to be moving back to the area later this year as well, and wanted to try and get out more (and actually be social and meet people!).

EDIT: Also, just to add to the conversation, can anyone post any links to recent playlists?

I'd like to see what's being played now, especially the cold-school stuff.

Can anyone help me identify this jacket?

https://preview.redd.it/mqcf5256yufh1.jpg?width=464&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca250cba130375b4fe9d682427829e1ca9f2cedb

I really love this style jacket and am trying to find one, this one in particular if I can (although I need it in larger size).

The page is made by someone called water3k, and I think there's a Chinese site called Xiaohongshu where she posted this, but I can't access that site to check, or message her.

Most of the similar ones I've found are all double-breasted, or just close with one button, and I don't want that.

If anyone can help me identify the brand, or find something like it that would be awesome!

I was feeling great about transitioning, now I'm losing hope.

Everything felt like it was going great, but the wait-times to get any surgeries are insane.

When my right breast developed it had tubular growth, and it developed off to the side so I need surgery to fix it. At the same time I was going to get enhancement as well.

I got my referral with no problems, and expected there would be a wait time for the surgery.

But, I have to wait 1 year from the time of the referral just to get an appointment for a consultation.

Plus, to add insult to injury, they have a minimum body mass number you have to meet and I'm over. I can't even schedule an appointment, even after waiting a year.

Now I'm worried this will be the case for the other surgeries, orchiectomy, FFS, etc.

I'm 54 and yeas I feel like I'm losing time.

I tried to transition several times in the 90's, and again in 2007 but had to stop due to job and insurance loss.

Now I'm trying, but it seems like I'm not allowed.

Some thoughts on my transition (MTF), and asking for some advice

I hadn't anticipated transitioning being so overwhelming.

Back in the '90s, I tried to transition several times, but I kept losing jobs, and with them, my health insurance. I tried again in 2007, only to end up in the same situation after being fired and losing my coverage again.

For a long time after that, I became isolated. I stagnated and never really had the chance to grow as a person. That took a heavy toll on both my life and my mental health.

Now, at 54, I'm finally in a position where I can focus on myself, my transition, and becoming the person I've always needed to be.

One of the hardest parts has been getting my appearance to match the image I have of myself, especially my face. I don't think my features are "too masculine," but they don't yet reflect how I see myself.

I know makeup, and continuing to lose weight, will help, and I'm also looking into FFS once I'm able to find a better-paying job.

What I wasn't prepared for is this in-between stage of transitioning. It leaves me feeling anxious, or maybe "apprehensive" is the better word. Knowing who I am while not yet looking the way I want to can be emotionally exhausting.

My body has been another challenge. I'm losing weight, but being both tall and overweight has made finding clothes that fit well and feel like me really difficult.

I'm also still trying to rediscover my style. I tend to end up looking a little goth, but I've always felt much more at home with the rivethead/industrial aesthetic.

Then there are all the little things I never really thought about. Many women have spent decades building collections of jewelry and accessories, adding pieces here and there since they were teenagers. I'm starting from scratch. My house caught fire in 2008, and I lost the items I'd previously collected.

Building a collection of hair clips, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, belts, and all the other little accessories has felt overwhelming, not to mention expensive.

I'd love to hear how other women approached this. Did you build your accessory collection slowly over time? Are there any "must-have" pieces you wear all the time or wish you'd bought sooner? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

What, or how many, cosmetics do you carry in your purse/bag?

I'm a MTF trans and don't have much experience with makeup, but I've been practicing.

I was wondering though, since I know makeup needs touch-ups during the day, what items do all of you carry around with you in your bag?

EDIT: Thanks for the replies! I'm still working on myself and any suggestions/recommendations are helpful!

Can anyone help me find a pattern for this dress?

I'd love to have one of these, but can't find one in my size.

My Mom said she can help me make one (she's teaching me how to sew, after all these years!), but I can't find a pattern like it so far.

From my Google search it was made by Zara, a green suspender dress? I'm not really sure what it was called.

If anyone can help me find a pattern for this, preferably plus sized, I'd be grateful!

If it's not available in a plus size pattern, my Mom said she could modify the pattern to fit me.

Are Sapphic club nights also for Transwomen?

There's a new club night in my town (Seattle) that advertises it as being Sapphic, but it doesn't really specify that transwomen are allowed.

I looked up the definition of Sapphic, but it doesn't really state that transwomen are included.

I apologize if this question sounds pedantic, I can sometimes be very nit-picky when it comes to wording, and it can make me unsure of things.
