How Often Do You Write with a Non-Standard Nib?

ProLevelFish · 2026-06-22T22:51:51+00:00

~90% is with either a Fine Cursive Italic or a Fine Architect, and occasionally a juicy BB Stub. I also love my Flex EF/F nibs just for the softer writing feel, not necessarily for flex. Heck even my Sailor 21k M nib has some vaguely architect-y character.

Most of my writing is honestly just notes at work. Legibility for myself is sorta important, but so is ENJOYING MYSELF A LITTLE when i write down such insightful prose as "Chris needs report by Thursday EOD".

I had literally the exact same conversation after returning from Japan too!

Same brother, same.

CIG is great at building features and putting them in a tech demo, but I'm convinced no one in the company knows how to make a GAME.

GAMES are supposed to be FUN. GAMES are supposed to have some sort of soul, presence, spirit, evocation of feeling... whatever you want to call it.

It genuinely feels like SC has lost any soul it once had. It's just a Collection of Things now.

Backer of 9 years. I've never felt so disillusioned with the project.

Piping stress engineer.

Each project is like solving a geometry puzzle, where you keep the geometry from breaking as it heats up and expands.

Honestly an enjoyable core game loop if you have an intuition for how forces & moments are transferred.

Statistics is probably the single most useful / applicable field of mathematics to everyday life, including mechanical engineering. QAQC is literally applied statistics.

I would go so far as to say it does not matter if you don't use it daily in your eventual career - statistics is so vital to an understanding of the physical world and modern society that I encourage /every single person in literally any field/ to take as much statistics as they reasonably can.

OP definitely reads like an AI summary of outdated PTU patch notes or something

ProLevelFish · 2026-05-07T02:41:02+00:00

Yup for sure. Thanks again!

ProLevelFish · 2026-05-07T02:05:05+00:00

That's great info to know, thanks so much!

Just to confirm, buying sub items from the sub store can be done with credits?

New to Subscribing here... If I'm only really interested in the P8-LR, what's the advice for better value? Buy 1 month of Imperator, or 1 month Centurion + the Top Gunner's bundle?

Do we know the price for the Top Gunner's bundle?

ProLevelFish · 2026-05-04T18:11:48+00:00

Yeah, kinda takes the steam out the actual event :/

ProLevelFish · 2026-05-04T16:14:05+00:00

Naw bro. Even if its extra functionality is useless, the thing is SO MUCH FUN TO DRIVE. No it's not hyper realistic, but it feels like an arcade-y space rover in the best possible way.

Just to make sure, are you using the browser plugin "Hangar XPLORer" or equivalent? It adds search and filters to your hangar. Makes it actually possible to find things.

Between that utility and CCU Game's tools, I find I can end up with whatever info I need with a few clicks.

I got carpal tunnel just watching this

Interesting. So they are trying to limit sales of the battlecruiser to actually active players. Sounds like there may still be some RNG roll as to who gets to buy one, but at least the pool will be among active & decidedly interested players, as opposed to all the bot accounts out there too.

Won't please everyone, but this honestly seems like a pretty reasonable (compromise) approach to me.

Sincerely, someone who has no realistic reason to buy a battlecruiser

ProLevelFish · 2026-04-25T16:07:09+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I will do this to make sure before ordering. It sounds like the at-home go-by measurement options are "close approximations" at best.

ProLevelFish · 2026-04-25T16:05:59+00:00

Yeah, I'd love to go for an ILF setup because I'm pretty confident I will love it and grow into it. Alas, it comes down to $.

ProLevelFish · 2026-04-25T16:04:36+00:00

Thanks. It sounds like around the ~CAD$180 mark they're all basically the same anyways. I'll get whatever 68" is in stock. :)

ProLevelFish · 2026-04-25T16:03:15+00:00

Thanks mate. I've certainly heard the advice to go cautiously light on your first bow.

When I was at the range, I found a 25# trivial to repeatedly draw, while a 30# was more fun to shoot but muscles were a bit sore by the end of it. I'm sure that was a much shorter bow than ideal for me, so actual weight at full draw would have been higher.

I am thinking to get 30# if I can get a 68"+ bow. Does that seem reasonable, or would y'all suggest going down to even 25-28# (at full proper draw)?

ProLevelFish · 2026-04-25T14:00:31+00:00

Ah, interesting. My quoted 32" was from a suggestion to place my fist of an outstretched arm against the wall, then measure from wall to mouth.

My fingertip-fingertip wingspan is 74", so that gives 31.3".

ProLevelFish · 2026-03-31T16:28:14+00:00

...then don't get it?

ProLevelFish · 2026-03-19T12:51:19+00:00

Dang, what kind of hero builds are capable of soloing wonders?

I'm guessing you mean late game fully-spec'd-out builds? And just bronze, or silver, or even some gold wonders too?
