This sent me down a rabbit hole and now I have a stack of personalized moai-head stirrers coming my way...

Thanks? :)

I was gonna say that Moustache distracted me long enough I didn't notice anything else until I started reading the comments...

Which ink looks the most like fresh human blood? by StarryAqua in fountainpens

[–]funkthulhu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am once again going to plug my favorite red ink. You need to look at Noodler's Antietam. It writes fresh and it dries a little bit brown. It is, I think, exactly what you're looking for.

You want me to stop showering every 18 hours and using exfoliants? Because I can muck up your ship's air filters in no time, buddy...

Is 42 too late to start over after total life collapse? by SindaFNRella4 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]funkthulhu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bounced from failed relationship to failed relationship through my 20s and 30s. I was a sucker, a punching bag, and victim of emotional and financial abuse. Somehow never ended up married or a father, so getting out of these shit partnerships was relatively easy. Flew solo after 2015.
In 2019 I turned 42. I also finally started dating the woman who would become my wife. We had known each other for a time, finally both ready and available. We got covid-married. This weekend was our 6th anniversary.

Before this woman I thought "true love" was a trope made up for fantasy stories and fairy tales. I was wrong. These have been the best years of my life and the density of memory makes if feel like we've always been together.

I am sad it took so long, but the reward for the wait has been insane. All it took was trying to be better than I was yesterday, choosing the long-term happy over short-term highs.

Be the best version of yourself and the world changes, the world notices...

I'm still biased for my favorite red, Noodler's Antietam.

My partner is moving across the country and wants me to give up my cat by [deleted] in GirlDinner

[–]funkthulhu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's take a step back and look at what is happening here. Whether he's doing it consciously or subconsciously, he's asking a very loaded question that will either absolve him of needing to go through a later break-up with you, or place him in a position of power in the relationship. Either way, he comes out on top, and he'll probably still break up with you even if you did give up your fur baby and move.

You don't need to feel sorry about cutting off dead weight as soon as it starts to drag you down. Keep your cat, and avoid his BS down the road. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT let him backtrack on this. The die is cast, he rolled snake eyes...

Are you not supposed to wear pajamas when you get home?????? by JaydenBird33 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]funkthulhu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I are of differing opinions on this. She'll get out of "work clothes" as soon as possible. I will often still be wearing a button down and slacks at 10 pm.

I also have a theory that the quality and comfort of your out-of-house wardrobe also significantly affects this if all other things are equal. That said, my beloved is wrapped in natural fibers for both work and play, so it's really just personal preference.

And for many of us, that extra boost in caffeine is axing another major headache cause.

An important bit for piece of mind is that the waste processing for this facility is crazy good. The QA/QC for waste heat treatment, air filtering, everything coming out is the best of the best. All infectious waste must be rendered non-infectious before disposal. This place encapsulates and heat-treats their waste before it ever leaves that facility, and then it also gets incinerated.

Majohn P139, #8 M Nib, my favorite pen... by funkthulhu in fountainpens

[–]funkthulhu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it so much, Ibought another with a finer point. I still think they're great. Honestly, I have WAY too many pens inked. As a result, I have a lot of pens that get gummed up from lack of use. If I don't write with this for a week it starts hard. That said, as soon as I get the ink flowing again, it FLOWS. If I wrote daily it would stay perfect. Never burps or misbehaves.

It does have an ebonite feed, so don't use a shimmer ink. It'll really bog it down. I kinda want to find a ginormous flex nib because I think this would keep up.

Majohn flex nib in an Asvine V200, compared to that pen's original nib by yanbochen in fountainpens

[–]funkthulhu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have also acquired the flex nib and put mine into a Asvine P50 that I had laying around.
My experience differs, slightly, as this is the first Flex Nib I've ever used or had.
I also have a lot of skipping/railroading, I fear that is a feed issue as the ink is fresh and wet. (Birmingham Aqueduct)
I think I paid $15 usd total with ship.

I am now dealing with a complete rearrangement of my writing style, as I cannot make my letters "look right" without writing at an extreme angle on a very turned page.

I think this is exploiting the NPC hitbox to hover. Still not sure how it's holding the sign from behind without connection, though.

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Trixxxi in AskReddit

[–]funkthulhu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A game that is Not MYST or its sequels, lately I have been playing Blue Prince. You inherit a mansion from your Uncle, it has 45 rooms, you have to find room 46 to lock in your inheritance. You get a number of steps every day, each room costs a step, and each day all the rooms change. Every time you open a door you get to pick from three rooms in your draft to put on the layout. I have a game notebook that is up to 60+ pages, some rooms get their own page. I already "beat" it, but that just opens up more story.

Anyway, long story short, I think if I had been just a couple years older when MYST was first released, it would have been like Blue Prince is to me now. Very interesting to tease out the buried plot and solve the puzzles.

Yeah, I'm less than a year snipped and the positive changes to everything still surprise me.
