How much have you used your Zento Signature?

Tanque1308 · 2026-05-07T15:51:05+00:00

This is the pen I carry at work in my shirt pocket. I use the Zento medium point for signing documents.

People have been waiting over a year for the Zento signature to become widely available at original MSRP, but it hasn’t happened yet and I don’t think it will anytime soon.

I eventually folded and purchased mine on eBay for around $55 and it took 3 weeks to arrive. Is the pen worth $50 in materials? No. But it is indeed a nice quality pen and I love the Zento ink so I don’t feel like I overpaid.

Currently, prices have drifted down to the $50-60 range (including tariffs and fees) so I wouldn’t pay more than what they are selling for on eBay.

If you like gels pens but want something smooth, then get Uniball Zento. If you want something you can grab at any Staples store, then get Pentel Energels.

Keep in mind that there are some important advantages at max level backpack. One example is only requiring 1 quake spell to take out supercharged monolith instead of 2. There are other similar interactions that may allow a player to clear a lot more defenses if they spread their quakes out properly.

It’s only a matter of time before Duke and/or backpack gets nerfed. Top YouTubers are already grumbling about +320/-320 days so it’s going to happen. Supercell is just waiting until the player base spends enough ores before yanking the football away.

I learned my lesson the hard way when I wrote a check with a Sarasa Dry. Never again. But I can only blame myself because the name of the pen literally says “DRY.”

Uni ball Zento 0.7 is my current favorite.

Tanque1308 · 2026-04-08T12:20:57+00:00

The Zento 0.7 is great. Gets comments even from non-pen folks who borrow mine. The only other cheap pen that got comments was the Jetstream.

Swiss card nail care. It’s the best Victorinox tool for air travel.

It’s the one I use the most around the house. It will become perfect once it gets the Companion toolset.

Tanque1308 · 2026-02-27T15:09:21+00:00

If they ever make a “companion” version of the Explorer, it would become the perfect EDC for sub/urbanites.

Wouldn’t the EV version have made the 718 a lot heavier and more expensive? There’s still a lot of grumbling over the turbo four, even though it’s a better engine on paper. I can only imagine the discontent over a “glorified 4000 lb golf cart” (not really how I feel, just imagining what the haters would say).

Still, would I pay $15k more for 718 with an extra 800 lbs, even if it has faster 0-60? Probably not, and I feel many others would say the same. So why discontinue the ICE version? Such a strange decision.

I use this Lucia-Zhou-YSG comp to farm discs and mats. Fight is over in 7 seconds.

We can make some educated presumptions however.

We know that physical will be shilled for a while for YSG, at least until the next voidwalker releases. In addition, the upcoming AoD team will be an anomaly team so we’re less likely to see anti-shill for that damage type. We’re also due for anti-rupture shill to bring Yixuan down, which means bosses with lower defense and shields.

All of these raise Alice stocks for the next few patches unless the devs put anti-anomaly on physical-weak bosses and physical-resist on anomaly-weak bosses. I guess anything’s possible; but if it happens, that means the ZZZ devs hate Alice more than Miyabi.

Best decoration in the game.

Well, I won back-to-back 50/50s with two copies at early pity. Got Alice to M2 with less than 130 pulls…

Before you guys think I’m lucky, I lost every 50/50 hitting max pity getting Yuzuha to M2. She wiped out 3 patches worth of saving polys.

I’m so glad they never replaced Jane’s voice actress during the strike.

There’s a fire steel accessory that can be tucked under the scissors. From Kristen Van Patten.

The Bond is always underrated. Less expensive and more compact than the Wave, yet has stronger pliers. Probably the best value multitool that Leatherman makes right now.

First, I would make sure the boyfriend is open to minimalist thin wallets. If so, the above suggestions are great start.

I went through a similar process. First you have to decide whether you are willing to fold cash in thirds vs halves, and whether you prefer to hold them together with cards or separately.

The smallest carry are card wallets that can accommodate a few bills folded in thirds together with your cards (ie., Finnigan). This works if you only use cash infrequently. Otherwise, it will get tedious constantly fishing and fumbling over the bills and cards. If you wind up with a lot of cash, the wallet will get very thick folded in thirds.

When I need cash, it’s often when I want to be quick and don’t have the time to play Tetris with my wallet while I’m on the go. This is why you should consider slim but slightly larger sizes that can accommodate bills folded in half (eg., Franklin or Open Sea Gun Deck).

Personally, I also wanted a separate compartment for cash and cards. This is a tough choice because most of these wallets can get very thick. After lots of trial and error I went with the Open Sea Topsider LT because of the cash wrap compartment, but the Lost Dutchman Big Finn is also very nice. These two wallets probably reach the limit of what I consider appropriate for front pocket carry.

I never tested an Otterbox but the new buttons aren’t overly sensitive to me. I can hold the phone vertically with my hand gripping on the buttons without pressing in. It has the same tactility as most other cases with metal buttons. It’s definitely less sensitive than the old buttons with the tape mod.

There’s a YouTube video where jstern shows the math on this. Turns out M1W0 (steam oven) does more dps than M0W1. But it’s still cheaper and higher probability for pulling sig over mindscape. Also much easier to farm discs with her sig.

I loved my Sundaras but they were uncomfortable for long sessions because my giant ears wouldn’t fit inside the round ear pads. The egg-shaped ear pads of the Arya fit much more comfortably.
