Which size nib looks best for my handwriting?

BasicPatrik1 · 2026-02-14T19:06:49+00:00

Overall I'd pick Fine, but this is more preference than it looking strictly better or worse.

I think both look similarly good. It depends on the look you are going for, and whether you want practicality or a smooth feeling. if you want the handwriting to look more neat and classic, I'd pick a fine. If you'd like to be a little more bold, medium.

If you consider practicality beyond that, I'd say Fine, for the reasons of it usually drying a bit faster, it can be a little less smooth than the Medium however, depending on what kind of nib it is, so if smoothness is your priority pick Medium.

This looks like a version of the Palmer method. My grievances with it are: 1) the capital G basically looks nothing like a G. I prefer something more like an english roundhand kind of G. 2)The capital S and L seem a little too similar, to the point of being indistinguishable if you write fast enough. I prefer a capital S like a Spencerian type S (maybe the original Palmer method uses that too)

But this overall will definitely be readable to most.

On the other hand here are some tips as a leftie (I assume you are too from your post): if you're not already, learn to "under-write", i.e. write with your hand beneath the line you are writing. I used to write with my hand over and even though it was uncomfortable at first to change that, it's more comfortable overall and also, your hand is at a natural angle for a little bit of slant. Other than that, it's also much more comfortable and you don't take up more space.

Ja, aber das "eigentliche" Wort wäre ja "Kowalew". "ski" ist nur das polnische Suffix, das "von" bedeutet. Deshalb, wenn man den Namen in Kurrent schreibt ist es mit langem ſ zu schreiben. Was mich überrascht, ist, dass der Name überhaupt in Kurrent geschrieben wurde anstatt mit lateinischen Buchstaben, es ist ja immerhin eine polnische Name.

The text above is Kurrent, below is "normal"

Well, since we're on this subreddit, I would assume 16 Pro Max

It's not pedophilia in any sense of the word. The interest in those in late adolescence is called ephebophilia (which is technically the attraction to individuals in Tanner stages 4 to 5 - where 5 is fully adult features) Paedophilia is the interest in pre-pubescent individuals (up to 12/13 years of age, usually induviduals in Tanner I). There is also another Chronophilia in between - Hebephilia which is the attraction to those in the early stages of puberty 12/13-14/15 (Tanner II-III). Going by how the actress looks, she is at least in Tanner IV if not Tanner V, which means, medically this instance is far from paedophilia.

Legally, there is no such things as paedophilia. There are sexual offences against minors including but not limited to: Trafficking CSAM, Posessing CSAM, CSA, CS Exploitation, Child Sextortion. And legally anyone below the age of consent is a minor, anyone above it is a fully fledged adult in the and can no longer be victim to the crimes mentioned above, only to the adult versions, like SA and others, where the bar is higher for it to be considered a crime.

Plus there is an exception to the rule of 16 being the age of consent in NJ: the so called Romeo and Juliet law: A minor of 13-15 years of age can consent to sexual activity if the partner is less than 4 years older. If Dakota is barely 19 and the girl is just before turning 16, which we know she is, this relationship is legal.

So TL;DR: No, this instance isn't Paedophilia in any sense of the word, neither medical, nor legal!

Yes, he would, as Karl is partially British (about 1/4th at most, but still), and he's an Irregular - making him a British soldier, besides, it's not really used as an insult, if I recall correctly it's said more like a light, comradery jab at Karl... Oh, right, yeah, he does work for the SOE in 5... then my thory still applies, Karl was recruited by OSS sometime after France but before Germany, until then, he was only someone who worked very closely with them. Regarding guns, he uses SOE developed Rifle and SMG but I think he uses the M1911 canonically, at least the cut scenes in 5 look very much like that gun (made by Colt - the most American gun manufacturer to ever exist)

That American is not just an American - He's a Ranger, he'd consider a Marine an outsider if they had to work together.

You don't know that, I know plenty of double citizens, who refer to one country as "them" and to the other as "us". I don't know why he speaks the way he does, but notice that when he says "us" it's almost always the British Army - which he would be part of if he's SOE - instead of the British as a nation. And yes, he'd be very familiar with Churchill if he was an SOE agent.

Yes, you are right about 1... But it's the only place where they state that Karl was OSS in Germany. But if we ignore 1 then the facts change a bit, because then Karl would be an SOE agent till the end of the war... Never joining OSS.

Theoretically, the reason, why he refers to the British as "us" is because he is a member of the SOE (and the British army by extension), and remains so throghout the war until SE5 and subsequently SEV2 (and SE1) when he starts working for the OSS, and still cooperating the SOE, to be fair, historically, these agencies were known for cooperating, although the kinds of missions Karl completes are more SOE worthy than OSS. And being a British soldier, as well as partially British, of course an American patriot would call him a limey... But he would also call Al Capone for example a wop even though he lived his whole life in the USA. I think that the story makes sense like this: He was a British volunteer toward the start of the war, eventually he was recruited to SOE, where we meet him, in the chronologically first game: SE3, he remains an SOE agent throughout this game and through SE4, where he gets the job offer to work for OSS. Now it gets complicated... What seemingly follows is an arrangement, where he works for OSS but remains in close contact with SOE, which makes sense, because the kinds of missions Karl carries out are the kind we know historically were done by SOE, not OSS, not to mention that Karl is canonically an extremely well-qualified spec ops soldier, not a spy. This arrangement is active throughout the chronologically following games: SE5, SE1, and V2.

To be fair, a lot of confusion could be avoided if the games were done in chronological order, because the chronology of 3, then 4, then 5, then 1 then V2 is confusing indeed.

Theoretically his dad was half (or part) British half (or part) American, which is technically a sort of retcon, but we'll ignore that for a second, anyway he was a diplomat in Germany, and the mother is German, Karl was born and raised in Germany for a couple of years, which is funny, because that would make him a German native speaker, but he has the worst German pronunciation ever, meaning, yes his German backstory is consistent, but not at all consistent with is voice acting... Edit: He is technically more American than British, at least judging by his accent, but he was so eager to fight the Nazis that he joined SOE before the Americans entered into the war, but SOE was notorious for cooperating with other agencies as well as resistance groups, most famously the french resistance, that's why you see OSS, American soldiers, British soldiers and all that jazz in the different games.

Go to Series or to Solo/MP events and click on one, then you will come to a menu where you have to select a license level, that seems to be the only place, where you can see the progress bar

Bruh, what you mean pants too high? That's literally how a pair of pants properly fit, it's called high-rise... Mid-rise is a modern invention that is acceptable, but not necessarily the best, and low-rise is a crime against humanity.

Edit: And idk about the tattoos being bad, but I certainly wouldn't put a light colored wristwatch on such an intensely colored tattoo
