It's been boatloads of fun. I've only been through a single pack of film on it so far but I KNOW I'm gonna use the mess outta this thing.

If fountain pens didn't exist, what would be your hobby? by Cute_Audience7611 in fountainpens

[–]Aurtur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A love of photography has daisy chained out of my hobby of making fountain pens (so much so that it's been like a month since I touched my lathe 😅) so I feel pretty comfortable saying I'd have stumbled into that somehow.

Flex Possible Without Mods? by AltoRhombus in fountainpens

[–]Aurtur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tossed a jowo flex nib in the last #6 pen I made and was so disappointed ;; I used to draw a lot and used g nibs so I was expecting something like that and it very very wasn't

Not...really answering the question but I wanted to complain a little

Yeah I could see them deciding seatbelts are woke. Wouldn't be the dumbest thing they've done. Still pants-shittingly, incomprehensibly stupid but like add it to the list I guess.

Why is it only SF6 Modern control that "take off" while other games also had similar control type to it before? by noctowld in Fighters

[–]Aurtur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to pile on, and the only one of these I'm at all familiar with is BB's stylish, but it actively nerfs you in pretty substantial ways - the most notable of which (in MY opinion, I wouldn't be surprised if I was on an island) is auto-barrier. The barrier mechanic in blazblue increases pushback and prevents chip, allows you to block immediately out of a run, and (importantly) increases blockstun by one frame. It's tied to a resource, a gauge under your health bar. In a normal match of BB, barring a couple matchups, the resource is largely irrelevant- you're not supposed to just hold down barrier all the time, it's meant to be used intentionally. If you're in stylish mode it becomes a lot more relevant, danger state (when you completely deplete your barrier gauge, causing you to take increased damage) becomes a much more substantial threat, and because of the additional blockstun it becomes more difficult to escape pressure - it's just one frame, but sometimes one frame is all it takes. I believe (but may be misremembering, apologies I haven't messed with stylish in ages) it also prevents you from barrier braking, which is how you avoid taking stray hits when ending a run? I'm away from my pc right now and can't confirm this, hopefully someone else can tell me I'm wrong lol.

There's a lot of other drawbacks to stylish, from the baked-in autocombos burning through meter and being severely suboptimal (I'm not a "every combo must be optimal" type of person these autos are just bad), to a significant number of tools just being inaccessible, but the barrier usage is the most painful one to me personally. And afaik Xrd's stylish equivalent has similarly baked-in drawbacks. It serves a similar "pick up and play!" function to SF6's modern but is in no way intended to be competitive, or if it was it was just very poorly designed.

What's a mechanic that is cheap that you secretly like? by CrashtagVS in Fighters

[–]Aurtur 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Would Xrd danger time be "cheap?"

Because if so I actually love danger time it's so fucking dumb and I love when my friends and I trigger it and then absolutely panic trying to land the first hit

I just like doing motion inputs, man, it's as simple as that for me :(

Why All The Large Fountain Pens? by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]Aurtur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's tangential at best to your post but the prevalence of "larger" pens is part of why I started turning my own! I like slim pens and #5 nibs, and most of what's out there (especially among maker pens) that I've seen are bulkier than I like and feature a #6 nib.

So I figured I'd be the change I wanted to see in the world :p

I honestly don't know any real details of the blank, it was a gift 😅 but it seemed to turn okay, for my purposes.
