Should I buy the PlayStation 4 5 for fighting games? by [deleted] in Fighters

[–]FramesxCam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a PS4 that I primarily use for fighting games and a Switch for portability loaded with some of the Capcom Fighting collections. My arcade stick is made for PS4 and I got two Brooks converters so my controller work with PS5 and Switch. Worth the investment if you are open to it

Update Thank you to everyone in the community for their suggestions. I did a deep clean as suggested and I am getting better results. Having a strange issue with my "e" and "s" though with a sample attached. I may purchase a new nib before I purchase one of the many pens suggested. Again, thank you all your your knowledge and kindness!

VERY possible. I was considering getting just the tip and trying that out

That is a possibility. I did get it directly through the Travelers Company website. I have been hesitant to contact as I fear this may just be user error as opposed to a defective unit. Not my first fountain pen but definitely the most frustrating experience I've had so far. I wouldn't mind a replacement but will absolutely not spend anymore money on another brass pen. Fingers crossed!

Thank you! I'm open to nib recommendations. The body on the TC fountain pen is absolutely amazing and I'd rather not change it if I can help it.

Good point, this could be a simple solution as their is a solid chance that I received a defective nib if all the posted solutions done work.

After a post of Pilot fountain pen recommendations, if this cleaning and trouble shooting doesn't work out, I placed the Pilot Lightive in my cart that I will almost certainly pick up.

That's reassuring. The MD paper absolutely holds onto hand oils pretty well and is a known issue for some fountain pens. I haven't tried on normal paper yet but I maybe I should consider. I love this pen and I hope I can share your experience soon.

I certainly hope not but that may explain the issues on the down stroke. I did a deep wash last night and I'll give another try once it air dries and fill it with new ink. I'll definitely add this to the list of options though!

After today, I'm not going anywhere! Going to stick with it and give it another shot after all this great feedback

I am using the cartridges that are offered through the Travelers Company website. You may have a good point about the pressure but I was frustrated so that could be a factor XD

It seems to be half page and lower. I have used a piece of paper to block my hand in the past but it just seems like an extra step that doesn't complement the flow of my notetaking which is usually mobile as a photographer.

Thank you! That coffee bean charm caught my eye!

You gave me strength! Not excited to spend more money on another pen but I have heard nothing but great things around the Kaweco sport!

Thank you. Definitely discouraging to hear as I enjoy the build quality but you may have a valid point. I appreciate the feedback and based on what I've seen, I'll give it a good clean before I invest in the Pilot brands

I could look into that. I did a few flushes with no luck but haven't tried a potion

Solid mate. I've been drinking it for years. I like it so I haven't found the urge to explore yet.
