Have you ever owned a rare or unusual car?
  • My previous car was a civic type R (FK8). Not the rarest car, but it was one of the last to come off the factory floor before they closed the factory and ended production for that version, so it was pretty much impossible to buy. Fucking great car. Loved it.

  • Will GTA 6 live up to the hype?
  • Just because there's a low bar for guaranteed success, doesn't mean it will actually be good. There's a lot of hope and expectations to live up to, and a lot of corporate greed opportunities to resist.

  • The idea that the Manor Lords dev should 'just hire 50 people' to update it faster is 'fundamentally not the way things work,' says publisher
  • It seems like both of your analogies are strawmen. Game development is likely to be not like pregnancy or moving stones, in terms of its ability to be sped up by adding manpower. It's obviously much more complicated than manual labour like moving stones, but not as immune to assistance as passively 'being pregnant'.

  • iPhone users, what app do you use to browse Lemmy and what is the main reason you like it over others?
  • Boost was my reddit app of choice for many years, and they finally released their Lemmy app (like 2 days ago), so I've uninstalled all the other Lemmy apps I've been trying.

    Edit: I'm a moron and replied in a thread about iOS apps with a recommendation for an android app

  • What pen & ink are you using today?
  • What do you think? I've had mixed experiences with fine nibs (sometimes they feel very scratchy, but in other brands, with different inks and paper, they still feel too wet), so I've been nervous about trying EF. There's obviously still much to learn and experiment with.

  • NPD - TWSBI 580 ALR, Purple
  • Very pretty! I have a blue diamond, and I've got mixed feelings about it. I didn't like the feeling of the fine nib it shipped with. I ordered a medium nib and it feels much better to write with. When you say you love the ribs, I assume you're talking about the grip. That's actually one of the things I don't like. Possibly due to the way I hold the pen, I find it becomes uncomfortable to hold sure to the ribs digging into my fingers after a while. If I could find a replacement for the grip, I think I would use it more. I also find the screw cap makes it less appealing to use at work, compared to a snap on cap.

    On the other hand, it's beautiful, holds a huge amount of ink, they sell replacement nibs, comes with a set of tools and silicon grease to maintain it, and is decently priced for what it is. Also comes in a range of really nice colours.

    Anyway, enough about me. Enjoy your new pen!!

  • TWSBI Swipes
  • Nice. I have 3 swipes now, and I absolutely love them. They write nicely, hold a great amount of ink in their oversize converters, and look great. The only thing I don't love is the clip, but I'm getting used to that too.

  • NPD+NID: Lamy 2000 with pilot iroshizuku tsuki-yo
  • I went with the F nib. I have briefly tried an EF nib (on a Safari), and didn't mind it, but I worry that it might feel a bit dry and scratchy for regular or prolonged writing (for my tastes). I also find that M nibs are a little bit on the wet side (depending on the ink), so F seems like a good middle ground.

    Any ink recommendations?

  • It's very cool, I agree. I love how seamless the joins are. It actually took me a minute to figure out how to activate the piston for filling. And the hooded nib is quite unique too :)

    Any ink recommendations?

    I've had my eye on this pen for a long time (thanks Reddit, haha), and I've wanted to try iroshizuku inks too. Found both for a decent discount, so finally pulled the trigger 😁
