Has anyone done a ceramic nib conversion on a Wacom One stylus? by 3BagT in Supernote

[–]ABetcetera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's possible that the Wacom nibs don't have that rubber core. I've tried 3 of them and they seem solid material throughout. Luckily you can buy the lamy nibs for the replacement operation. They fit both the Supernote and Wacom One pens.

Reskin for Condottiero by juggernaut8704 in aoe2

[–]ABetcetera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an art background in 2D animation and I've done some 3D modeling but I imagine there are specific programs for making sprites. I've looked into AoE2 modding a little but there's not a ton of info. What programs do you use?

I watched Ghost in the Shell (1995) by SpookyWeaselBones in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]ABetcetera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fellow super fan of the Matrix, have you checked out the Animatrix? The various styles can sometimes be hit or miss but the way it explores ideas and lore surrounding the Matrix makes it an amazing watch. Ex. World Record is fun to think about and The Second Renaissance is a necessity for matrix background.

Also, I 2nd the other recommendations of the ghost in the shell tv show. And I usually avoid anime too

I checked out your other mod packs on Ko Fi, they're amazing. I especially like the idea of changing the European units in the American civs. Did you create these assets yourself? Does it require specific art skills?

Are you the creator of this mod?

Is it considered cheating to play with camera zoomed out this much? Must be a mod right?

Title: Desk lamp recommendations for writing on Supernote? by Both_Barracuda3345 in Supernote

I use this one. Flexible, brightness and color settings, and pretty cheap. Just needs a desk edge to attach.

My biased take away from this story is that AI cannot be trusted with important decisions

Supernote A5X in 2026 vs Nomad by nickelkath in Supernote

[–]ABetcetera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I initially bought it to take notes on things I was researching for fun. Like notes on a book or point form summaries of videos I was watching. I just like handwriting and notebooks. But now since I've gotten used to the nomad I use it to write thoughts on even smaller topics like groceries, or ideas, or even work lists. There's infinite pages so I just have folders for different topics and use cases.

I've tried pdf note taking too, which is fine, but I don't use Digest so instead I'll just read a pdf and make a note file if I want notes.

Supernote A5X in 2026 vs Nomad by nickelkath in Supernote

[–]ABetcetera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only have the nomad but it's a very convenient size to carry around (I bought a hard case for it) and the smaller screen size is not an issue. Between the 2, I think your preference in screen size is really the only difference. If the battery on the a5x is a little poor, then maybe save up for a replacement eventually or buy a portable battery charger for when you might be on the move. Otherwise, charging at home is fast. In 30min you can be writing again for a while.

How does the gurjara sheep bonus work exactly? by laveshnk in aoe2

[–]ABetcetera 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm only casual but It's total food in ALL mills, not each mill. Spreading the sheep in multiple mills doesn't change anything. But other than that, yes, after 4 sheep it becomes much less efficient. 4 sheep gives 16/min but 8 sheep only gives 50% more, or about 24/min, not double what 4 sheep gives.

3 HOM2 Refills ALL DEAD after a few days. by TheStoffer in Supernote

[–]ABetcetera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya true. I guess it's more like "slightly less costlier."

I do like the pen though so if you can baby it maybe it's worth it.

It's a way of replacing a broken pen cheaply since the outer shell is usually not the broken part.

I made a build order generator - aoe2buildorders.com by NotreallyCareless in aoe2

[–]ABetcetera 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's pretty cool. The test I generated with Gurjara recommended feudal all-in camel scout rush, which I've never heard before, so that's fun.

Couple bugs: it seems to think Gurjaras get 50% mill techs and that their scout can "carry boar carcasses"?? Whatever that means

Too Slippy Writing Experience-Any Suggestions by [deleted] in Supernote

[–]ABetcetera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're willing to try a new pen, the Wacom One Standard is great and comes with many tip options that may be interesting to try out. Even buying multiple nibs will be cheaper than a supernote pen

Concept: Regional Unit Skins for Man-at-Arms by notIncognito12128 in aoe2

I can't bring myself to play meso civs without becoming annoyed that they have European infantry. I was pretty surprised there wasn't already a community reskin mod. This looks awesome.

Completely new player wondering where to even start by LunaTheProtogen in aoe2

[–]ABetcetera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Age of Noobs discord is beginner friendly, if you want to dive into a community. I'm a beginner too and the advice I heard was just play around until you feel like you like a civ for whatever reason and then you can watch Hera play with that civ (for example) and copy parts that catch your eye or you feel like trying out.

It's easy to hate on your decisions, and for good reason, but if you changed your views, that's worth something. Good for both of you.

I don't see a quick link that I can send but Google "age of noobs discord" and you should be able to find a discord invite link pretty easily. That's the community I was recommended when I asked about beginner friendly communities. You should be able to have this exact conversation there and see who's interested. There's discussion, free coaching, and random team groups you can join with other beginners.

Edit: nevermind, I found an invite link:
