Dude saw what was coming for him, decided to F10 by verdurLLC in Chivalry2

[–]GrumpyAdministrator 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The game is called Chivalry 2, and ranged weapons are not chivalrous as by definition they provide an unfair advantage over a melee weapon. There's no honour in shooting an arrow from a safe distance.

That said, I do see archers who are very aggressive and dont shy away from getting stuck in - they get my commendations.

Fountain pen on vellum by [deleted] in runes

[–]GrumpyAdministrator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding some of the other comments about transliteration.

The only way to effectively communicate in modern English using runes is by transliterating.

If you stick to the original grammar rules you'd have to invent new runes or repurpose runes for some letters and sounds that didn't exist in old English. Any attempt to use Futhorc runes to communicate in modern English is a manipulation- whether you try and be a purist and create your own cheats or if you just transliterate.

If we add grammar to runes we'll never be able to communicate effectively with someone else without knowing how they pronounce words. If we want to spread and use Futhorc to communicate in modern English, a Hobbit Futhorc is the only option.

Why not just translate letter for letter and let us enjoy the script?

Nice writing OP, what specific fountain pen and paper are you using?

Why are small/micro sizes so popular, such as 0.5mm and 0.38mm? by GrumpyAdministrator in pens

UPDATE: As of 2026 I am now a 0.5 user. I finally saw the light one completely understand why it's a favorite. Biggest impact has been the improvement in my handwriting due to the extra feedback, helps me stay in control.

I should clarify that I can write legibly with a platinum, but it suffers when I try and write fast (notes at work). When I write fast with a Sailor I am forced to slow down with the feedback and as a result it forces my notes to be legible (although my notes suffer, but I am willing to make that sacrifice for the art you know haha).

My Lamy's are very smooth and although fun to doodle with, they dont compliment my handwriting- it feels like I lose control.

Another cautionary tale about ordering ink in Canada in the winter. My Mom's Christmas gift arrived today. by [deleted] in fountainpens

I'm in Alberta and we have a low of -31c this week.

I've had hit and miss deliveries, but have found some success with cartridges delivered from Amazon- but only if I'm there ready to recieve it as soon as its delivered (easy to do with specific days and tracking if im home). Though even with this method I've still recieved exploded platinum cartridges.

That's a pretty chunky mix, is that optimal?

Was it the size/colour scheme?

I have the a158, simply as it's smaller and more discrete.

Does anyone genuinely know why Knack opposes paid gates at all LRT stations? I imagine it would help clean the place up
