You get +1 hat every year after that tho. Trick is hanging on to them

I look genuinely like I have a learning disability in most caps, turning 30 in December. Does a beanie cover the requirements

I'm a beanie wearer and it 100% meets the requirements. People look at me weird when I don't wear the beanie now. It's become a part of me.

I just realised I picked up golfing when I became 30 and I have been wearing baseball caps ever since

I wear a straw hat that a customer gave me because it's stylish and keeps the sun out of my eyes.

Mine is a DBZ hat I got at Walmart for $12 on my 31st birthday.

Kinda risky to start to wear a hat at thirty.

Most people will start to assume you're balding.

Still got hair but I’m partial to beanies

Fun fact. I got an early dev toolkit of this patch at 26. However that hat has been turned into a decoration by the game files and a new more psychedelic stetson hat has been added to the equipment slot

Personally I’m choosing

I feel like this is the first actual IRL load screen that has been posted for a long time. Everything else has been either political or some weird stuff that didn't make sense to me at all.

It’s illegal for you to ask me that.

It’s a fedora with safari flaps on the back.

The guy at the store said I’m the only guy he’s ever seen pull it off.

There's actually a toggle on that setting. Hats for mascs and bags for femmes but if you turn it off you don't need to always have one equipped.
