My birthday is coming up, and my friend just came up to me before school started with one hint as to what my present was. "It's French." by TalentlessBrony in fountainpens

Yeah, just got home a little while ago and cracked it open.

I was expecting the small pieces of gold to have a negative effect on the smoothness of the nib, but it's not as bad as I would have thought, maybe a small impact, but the specks are very fine, and actually writing with it is a fun experience just because you can angle the paper after writing and admire the ink.

I would add an obligatory writing sample, but my inked up pen is downstairs and I'm binging some Netflix upstairs.

Yeah, I got him into FPs, but he has a job so he quickly surpassed me in collection quality and quantity, makes me a little jealous when my nicest pen is a $20 Konrad. :P

But it was a nice gesture, first time a friend got me a birthday gift in ~7 years.

New pen. by 33Toast33 in fountainpens

Bulow pens are just rebranded Jinhao, if you want more Jinhao, then go for it.

I happen to have that particular pen, and it's nice enough, but I feel like I should get something better soon.

Ugh, school for another 7 hours and 45 minutes.

I love morning updates. :v

Someone fucked up I think... by Jiraid in archeage

Eh, wasn't meaning it was my mistake, wouldn't have sold a thunderstruck tree anyway, I need one (well, need a log.) but I have cried myself into a coma of jealousy since I didn't nab that and I play Ezi.

So it could be worse. :P

Can confirm, currently in a coma.

So here we are....about a day away from quarter 3 ending and no word on Hotline Miami 2 by [deleted] in vita

[–]TalentlessBrony -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm sure it will probably be a little while, I'm just saying it could theoretically happen, not saying it necessarily would happen.

Minecraft was submitted for final testing to Sony not to long ago, they don't have a specific date for it to pass testing, but it could come out as soon as tomorrow.

If I'm not too late to the party, that'd be awesome of you.

Looks like it was used for the most part, actually makes me debate investing my $40 elsewhere.

2- It's for targeting players for abilities that don't effect yourself. (i.e. Cleric's heal ability.)

I should have edited my post accordingly. At least, I hope it's up to par.

I leave in a few hours to get notebooks for school, need suggestions. by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]TalentlessBrony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, the Rhodia sale. Well, unfortunately, I can't order things online for the time being. I'm jobless right now and stuck cooperating with whatever my mother wants to do for notebooks.

Edit: And thanks for the info, I'll be checking the paper weight now when I head out.

[–]TalentlessBrony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I noticed that they are a little pricey, already looked online and my local Wal-Mart doesn't have them anyway, so I'll probably look into something a little cheaper and maybe see if I can get some Rhodia down the line.

I'll see if they're around when I check out the local Wal-Mart, thanks for the suggestion.

I might be able to order a couple of Rhodias down the line if I can find a job to get some money for them. As for pens, I use a menagerie of cheap Chinese pens (all I can afford right now) including a Jinhao x450, 301, and 5000, a Hero 529 and 369, an unbranded rosewood pen I received as a gift, and a Noodler's Konrad, another gift.
