I got the awesomest new belt, guys! And when I realized how “awesome” it was, I had already DE’ed RE’ed my old one.
Actually, more than a leaf or a heart, it reminds me of Pingu’s snowboarding adventures and how his friends strapped a pillow to his butt to cushion his falls…
In case you’re wondering how this saga turned out, I narrowly escaped the clutches of the Fashion Police. I crafted a bunch of green belts with synthweaving until I managed to RE a blue recipe out of it, and then crafted myself a normal looking belt, though with ever-so-slightly worse stat distribution. To quote Darth Meatloaf: “I would do anything for stats, but I won’t do that.”


Leaf that belt alone, you!

Awesome!
That is brilliant, at least you can sit anywhere without worrying to get your clothes dirty
I don’t know whether that model is available to players, but yesterday I dealt with an NPC that had gloves like that, i.e. giant leaf-shaped things strapped to their wrists. It looked utterly bizarre.
My Operative has a similar butt-plate that is round on the bottom. So it looks like I’m walking around with a cushion…
You’re braver than I am. Stats are nice, but fashion is nicer.
We made something like that when I was a Girl Scout. We called it a ‘Sit-Upon.’
When does one use a sit-upon? I’ve never seen anyone wear one in the subway, when you definitely know the seats are gross.
Well, we made it for our camp-outs so we could, presumably, sit in the dirt and not get dirty or wet or whatever. Although when you camp, you get dirty. We made them and they were presumably for wearing around the waist and then sitting on them whenever you needed to but they weren’t exactly practical.
We use to just leave them in our tents and grab them when it was campfire time.
Though they would be quite useful on the subway, this is true.
There are certainly some places in the Star Wars galaxy that they’d make some sense as well. I’ll be honest, I’m afraid to touch a lot of things in Nar Shaddaa. Hutt Vegas it may be… I just think STDs are on every surface there.
What happens on Nar Shaddaa doesn’t stay on Nar Shaddaa.
At least you don’t have a hood.
The part about Darth Meatloaf nearly made me laugh out loud. (It would have if I wasn’t restraining myself because the rest of the household is asleep and who knows how hard I would have to laugh at that if I let myself. Probably pretty hard.)
That belt there is.. impressive. I’m not sure some people understand what they’re making when they make a piece of gear. As I believe that has left the realm of ‘belt’ and entered the realm of ‘butt cape’. Which is a different fashion accessory altogether.
I didn’t know if any of the whippersnappers out there would even know the song. Feeling. So. Old.
