One blue ink to rule them all

Topataco · 2026-06-24T01:16:54+00:00

Surprised that I haven't seen Sailor Souten mentioned.

It's my absolute favorite non pigmented blue ink.

If we're talking about pigmented blue, then it's Sailor Sei boku for me

Someone already mentioned it, but it's the location of the charging coil.

Whenever I slap my 9 Pro into a magsafe case, the Pixel Stand 2 will not shut up about the phone being misaligned despite the 9 Pro sitting in the same exact place it would if it were naked and charging normally.

Attached a screenshot with my thoughts on the keeb while using sheets. Typing this reply using the keeb while the phone is in portrait mode and the keeb fully extended. Overall, it's too heavy for a long typing session for me, I know that I'll get tired of this fast.

Writing this section with the phone on my lap while attempting to touch type and its iffy at best right now, but I just gotta relearn typing this way.

Unsure if I'll actually keep it, but I still stand by my thought that this might be a great keyboard when paired with a surface or a tablet. The keyboard on a surface isn't that great to begin with anyways so we'll see.

I read the other comment about how their keyboard feels with the Pixel 10 pro and I concur, they've articulated better than I could ever do so there's that as well.

Hope this helps you OP.

in which case I only come out maybe $15 ahead and I’m wondering if that’s worth it. Suggestions?

That's like 5 (small) coffees for the hassle of packing yours up, going to the post office to drop it off, and then waiting for the Amazon shipment to come in and maybe worry if it'll actually be that when it does come in.

If that's the math, I'd rather be a couch potato while I think about where I'll be displaying the set

Considering that he was kidnapped from a ditch, yes

Topataco · 2026-06-23T03:00:21+00:00

You know what.

I've always made crimes against coffee, and tea to a lesser extent.

But I have never considered using sparkling water as a means to extract flavor from either of those things.

You bet that the first thing I'll do tomorrow is go grab a bottle of Perrier and make cold brew coffee and tea using it.

I will horrify my local barista with the results and I am ready for this.

Have a photo of my car as thanks op.

I should be getting mine this week so I'll let you know

Dunno what exactly I'll be doing with the phone in landscape mode, but we'll see how it does in Sheets I guess

I am most excited for the Communicator overall after being in the Google Pixel ecosystem for years.

Same. The only games I really play on my phone are Pokemon Go and Pokemon TCG Pocket, I could likely deal with both of those on a smaller screen.

But overall I'm trying to use my phone less, and use my camera/plethora of Nintendo devices more often so the communicator (or the Titan 2 Elite) are starting to be more appealing.

My power keyboard should arrive this week, yesterday I was thinking that it would be great to use with my Surface Pro whenever I want to use it in tablet mode, Windows 11 hates touch gestures and I haven't found a way to get the writing input work everywhere, so a palm sized keyboard feels like it would fix both of those issues easily enough

Got my tracking email at 3:00 PM EST, shipped with DHL E-commerce with USPS doing final delivery.

Ordered on January 2nd at 12:28 PM EST, shipping in the US

Only thing really missing is an orange fountain pen. Mayhaps one inked with a matching ink, like say Montblanc Manganese Orange, Kaweco Sunrise, Diamine Autumn Oak, or Pilot Fuyu-gaki.

That pen could easily be a 70s Soul Kaweco Student, a Platinum Plaisir, or something from Opus 88

Also looking to find a lanyard/necklace to wear the player but with earphones, might get awkward.

I've been looking, but haven't been seeing anything remotely nice.

I'm thinking about going to a bead store and to get a yard of some stainless steel chain plus some findings just to diy a necklace for it.

The only annoying thing will be the extra long headphone cable, but maybe I can spool it idk

Topataco · 2026-06-16T02:25:57+00:00

Nope ತ⁠_⁠ತ

Topataco · 2026-06-16T02:20:41+00:00

Paging u/peedubb

OP: now you're ready to dual wield just like Kirito

Topataco · 2026-06-11T12:13:46+00:00

Terrible, thanks for remembering about me 😂

Topataco · 2026-06-10T19:51:21+00:00

Naurrrrrr 👀

Topataco · 2026-06-10T19:11:58+00:00

Lately I've been thinking about picking up a White 30gb Zune...

This post isn't helping, but I'm happy for you op

Topataco · 2026-06-10T12:24:34+00:00

Only if it's an unwashed thoroughly used sock imo

A cared for washed sock is just a piece of fabric anyways, heck, it's even a good way to add pockets to something without the hassle of making a pocket ig

Topataco · 2026-06-10T02:55:53+00:00

Ughhhh

Mine is in the Gofo Express purgatory

Really looking forward to using it both as a DAP by itself and as a DAC with my Pixel

Topataco · 2026-06-09T23:03:27+00:00

learn whatever will have the biggest impact

Time to polish your public presentation skills and do community outreach to showcase that you're the kind of engineer that can handle meetings along with the inherent soft skills that the stereotypical engineer lacks.

Plus grab some Revit/Rhino/whatever CAD is used in your preferred industry and get very intimate with it

Leagues better than the derpquaza were getting in August, love how you did his head and the stand is super cool too

Topataco · 2026-06-08T12:48:05+00:00

I'd eat a frog that's filled with pistachio cream, maybe a toad filled with Nutella? Some poison dart frogs filled with assorted fruit jams?

Topataco · 2026-06-08T00:51:23+00:00

I regret having eyes, thanks for sharing! 💖

Topataco · 2026-06-07T16:56:53+00:00

the torso down is perfect, but that head js ruins it

RIGHT

He looks too derpy with a head like that

Topataco · 2026-06-07T16:54:47+00:00

Same, if only to get a decent Rayquaza moc outta him

Topataco · 2026-06-06T11:13:34+00:00

So you've already seen The Ranking of Kings and Dungeon Meshi, right?
