I don’t know about any protests and I don’t care enough to stop watching it.
But embarrassingly enough I actually watched all the seasons of Curb a few months back and finally decided to try the Seinfeld. I was expecting it to be the usual sitcom routine but I shouldn’t have prejudged it esp considering Larry’s sense of humor.
Finally started watching Seinfeld and oh boy, I’m mad at myself for not starting sooner.
Go to hiking, and do some work related stuff so I can take a mid week break next week.
TYSM for bringing this game into attention. After hours of staring at the screen everyday, last thing I want to do is to stare some more. I love playing video games and this sounds like a good compromise compared to listening to audiobooks.
As the other commentator stated, you’re looking for a FP.
The things you’re describing can be easily found… but they usually cost a lot to have all of the qualities at once.
That is unless you can get your hands on chinese FPs where you live. I get mine ftom aliexpress.
Now from my own personal experience you can’t go wrong with either Jinhao X159 or Jinhao Dadao 9019.
You can get a fine nib which I think is the perfect balance between smoothness and crispness.
Another tip: if you find that the feeling of the nib is not to your liking, you can tune the nib. There are many excellent tutorials for this and you can do it at home without special equipment.
Since money is a problem, you’ll probaly have to substitute it with your time in getting exactly what you want.
There should be a sub for this kind of stuff so I can block it.
My man wrote a whole essay to start a casual conversation lol.
Anyways to answer: fountain pens. I got some cheap chinese ones from Ali Express, the company is Jinhao. A really good bang for your buck. You can get a pretty good one under 10 bucks these days…
Anyways the appeal of the pens to me lie in how deliberate they feel. You give importance to your writing by using a FP.
Another appeal is the feels of the pen. I have on occassion thrown away ball point pens by pure gut reaction if I accidentally grabbed one.
While others have answered your question, I just wanted to go on a tangent and add to some of the same frustration that you felt.
I hate hand holding in this game. I feel like missions trap you into playing a certain way. You have to treat the missions like they are an interactive movie experience. But otherwise, the open world exploration is fun.
For future, If you really like freedom but also need some goals and story and not just a sandbox, I would recommend trying either legend of zelda botw or totk. I think you can emulate BOTW on steamdeck.
If you can take some punishment then Elden Ring is also a great choice.
I hope that you can enjoy this game though.
I am watching Futurama or rather stopped watching at the third episode of this season. Is it just me or has the show taken a dip in the quality?
I feel like something fundamental to the show is missing this season.
I wanted to be a theoretical physicist. Somehow ended up running a small AI company. Money is nice but I still think of persuing my dream once I have enough saved up.
My quick pickle recipe:
Vinegar + Water in equal proportions, and whatever spices you like.
Boil it and turn the stove off.
Put in the sliced cucumbers , onions, and whatever else you need to pickle.
After a few minutes it’s ready to be used.
Cool off the solution afterwards and put it in fridge for storage.
For a sec there I thought it was a post from the Onion
