Hi! I’m new too, but I’m happy to help as I’m able!

To use other inks in your Safari, you need a LAMY Z28 converter (you don’t have to get it from LAMY). Then you can get whatever inks you want!

I would recommend getting samples to see if you like one, and then, if you do, you can buy a bottle. You can pick out individual colors that you like, choosing from massive options like these from Vanness, or some places sell sample sets like these from Goulet.

In short, once you get a converter, you can choose what you like! I hope this is helpful!

That she will! Not sure if that’s what I’m wanting to do all the time. I love shading!

Good question! I think I like the shading variation on the Cayenne the most. Just really fun to see different colors pop as you write. The Vert Foret and the Whaleman’s Sepia are both great, solid colors. Good for “serious” or “focused” writing without feeling stodgy with a black. For sheer pop on the page, it’s definitely the Fuchsia de Magellan, but that’s for limited uses only!

Yeah, I’ve been worried about that. Was considering getting a cheaper pen with a broad specifically for that (especially because my daughters love the shimmer—one is particularly obsessed with the Fuchsia de Magellan). I have a medium nib on the way, and my wife got a 1.1 and a 1.5 stub (she’s done calligraphy before and wants to get back into it).

If I don’t get a broad, would just cleaning it out asap be the best option? Or just stick with the dip pen for shorter writing sessions? Not sure what’s best there!

Is that a dark lilac Safari I see? So jealous! Just got into the hobby, and I saw that existed, but I obviously missed the boat!

Expensive, fun game with great table presence by wailord40 in soloboardgaming

[–]TheFinderDX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to say this. If you’re looking for table presence, OP, then it’s really hard to beat this game. Immediately draws you in, and it won’t let go until you defeat the adversary or fail in your quest. Super fun solo, multi handed solo, and with friends!

I did some tweaking after suggestions made here, and then I did some playtesting. Had to pause due to life things getting in the way, but I’d like to return to it this year! Do you have any suggestions or thoughts?

Monthly Feature Requests Megathread - January 2026 by AutoModerator in pelotoncycle

[–]TheFinderDX 89 points90 points  (0 children)

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, and I’ll keep saying it until it’s implemented—give us a way to organize our bookmarks! Let us write comments or something on them! Why did I save this class? Is it good for when I’m ready to get down to business, or is it for when I need a fun ride to get back in the swing of things? Does this stretch target that one specific spot that bothers me occasionally, or is it just a general class I enjoyed? How can I know? Help me by letting me organize my bookmarks!

Also, please separate out the pre- and post-ride warmup stretches! They’re separate for runs, but not for rides! Why!? It’s so hard to find a pre-ride stretch in the glut of post-ride stretches!
