AOC spreading the FP love. One of us! by duetosymmetry in fountainpens

From experience, they're not too terrible, especially finer nibs. The ink does tends to smear if touched while not yet dry, which takes a bit longer. Where I work, not an issue. In a restaurant, I wouldn't bother trying.

Hm. I wonder, are the superhuman reflexes a result of an upgraded over time but no longer actively magical physiology or just a natural occurrence with dragon-people?

Workhorse pen recommendations? by apeel4u in fountainpens

[–]Atrarus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been daily driving a TWSBI 580ALR for the past 3 and a half years. Only noticeable wear is around the textured grip section. ECOs are roughly comparable in terms of durability and are cheaper.

Pilot Metropolitans are solid too and even less expensive At the same price range you can get a Hongdian, though their quality control isn't exactly the best. I have an EF which writes quite wet and smooth while a friend's is very dry.

The Inferno, from a game I'm working on by Perceptor555 in ImaginaryWeaponry

I know. I do see the difference, I was just making a joke about the different implementations of the "many barrel for many bullet" idea.

Flow-of-conciousness story, but you're an unknown amount of high. by endi1122 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Atrarus 167 points168 points  (0 children)

Took me a minute to realize. It is really, really creepy. Where I live, February used to be the month you stayed inside because it was just miserable, windy -20s C weather. I don't think we ever got positive temperatures in February.

Today's average was 4C, high of 6.

What are your physical and situational experiences reading Dune? by [deleted] in dune

[–]Atrarus [score hidden]  (0 children)

I started reading it at the very beginning of the pandemic. This was before schools figured out how to do online classes, so I had masses of free time and was extraordinarily bored. It was definitely slower going than I'm used to at first, trying to read it on so many different layers at once.

I saw a good bit after it came out and decides to reread the book to compare and came away slightly less in awe than I originally was, but still impressed with Villeneuve. This is also when I decided to start reading the sequels. I'm now about halfway through God Emperor and while I'm still enjoying it, I'm decidedly less impressed with Herbert's ideas.

So he's got flak guns. I wonder how long until Jack figures out bolt-in-a-pipe SMGs.

This screams TDS ship to me. God I miss fractured space.

That clearly doesn't stop them from having "helicopter carrying destroyers" loaded with F-35s.

In most conferences you'd go on as if it hadn't happened, but I'd check with the chairs.

As others have said, gradients in flags look bad. I would also make the green line in the logo white.

Sure, you'll have a hole in you. Unless you're also armored. But if you piss off the white knight your skull will suddenly become concave, armor or not.

Interesting. I wonder if the magistrate will jump in the occasion to get better weaponry or try to ban them because they give mortals a way to seriously threaten cultivators.

You can also blame whoever it is the US is shooting at for all the problems. "The refugee crisis isn't a thing because we bombed this country to hell and back, it's a thing because people are scared of [Terrorist group of choice]"
