  The staedtler 925 is great. I think you might prefer the graphgear 500 over the 1000 though, as the rubber nubs on the 1000 are more annoying than plain knurled metal, imo.

  I have been using 3 for the last 6 or so years. I also like 1 and 4. Can’t go wrong with 2.

  The real solution is to find a parker compatible chassis that has the right shape, feel, and weight for your preferences. Then simply buy parker refills of your choice. Energel .5 is pretty great :)

  OBJECTION!!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking hell⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So do you mean to suggest “quatre-vingt-dix” just means 90 and doesn’t also mean “four-twenty-ten”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Report Shows Working-Class Americans Live 7 Years Fewer Than Rich⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t fewer the better choice in formal English because years are a countable plural noun?

  Criticizes late-term abortions

  Reacts viscerally to things that are real and legitimate reasons for late-term abortions

  “I can’t believe you’ve said that, OMG, so gross, blocked”

  Clearly, they have no capacity for thinking critically, or they are farming responses. Don’t waste your time.

  And MaXimus, if you really think those scenarios are horrible, then imagine how the parents feel about the opportunity of not allowing a child to suffer in those horrible ways.

  I have something like 4k hours in Warframe.

  However, many of those hours come from being a broke teenager and wanting to sell stuff for platinum (premium currency). Any time I was home, the game was running, and I had listings up on warframe.market. Most of those hours were just me doing homework and waiting for the chat message noise.

  If you like Jak, you’ll have a blast with Ratchet and Clank. Lots of good ol action platforming.

  Klonoa 2 and Spongebob Battle for Bikini Bottom might also be worth looking into. I specifically remember finding tons of shortcuts in SBBB that were probably unintended, but that game also got a remaster in the last few years.

  I would maybe suggest modding your defence to a high level, unlocking defence perks, and spamming Q. The combat certainly becomes more manageable as you level up, unless you’re simply fighting a group of people by yourself. Then it never gets easier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam now warns about Early Access that have not been updated in months.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know about this, but only because Steam has a very unique position in their market. Lots of intense loyalists for Steam means long-term projects yield hype and reputation.

  For example, the Steam Deck was a high cost high impact long-term project, and it wasn’t even in the interest of leading the handheld gaming market. It still brought them a lot of good press, and it also spearheaded the adoption of handheld gaming PCs - whether running SteamOS, Windows, or other linux distros - most of which are using Steam as the primary gaming library.

  They just know that line going up steadily is more valuable than line going up exponentially until people get sick of your shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deepseek when asked about sensitive topics⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the argument here is that ChatGPT will tell you about Kent State, Athens Polytech, and Tianenmen square. Deepseek won’t report on Tianenmen, but it likely reports on Kent State and Athens Polytech (I have no evidence). If a Greek AI refused to talk about the Athens Polytech incident, it would also raise concerns, no?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a good group!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not too knowledgable on all the lore, but iirc:

  • Space Marines are engineered supersoldiers who see humans as puny livestock
  • The leader is an emperor, also known as god-emperor, whose word is law
  • Pretty much all of their technological advancements exist to kill/control
  • Their creed is basically to eradicate all non-believers (heretics) and non-humans (unless the non-humans can benefit them)
  • Slavery is pretty much the standard for punishing people who oppose the god-emperor (if not death)
  • A lot of other things

  Basically, the entire main faction is a hyper-fascist, fundamentalist, imperial, and ultra-violent organization. A lot of the other factions operate with a similar amount of cruelty and violence.

  The point is that no faction in Warhammer can really be known as “the good guys.” I always perceived the 40k universe as a caricature of some of the worst aspects of mankind, but I play along as a cog in the machine, knowing it’s bad. Neo-nazis tend to perceive the Astartes/Space Marines as glorious heroes. It’s akin to alt-righters enjoy Starship Troopers and Rage Against the Machine, without recognizing the irony.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anons make the worst game ever⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mind you, Monster Hunter World forces every player of a hunting squad to view an unskippable story mission cutscene in their own hosted instance before being able to join another player’s session of the same mission.

  Lots of watching the cutscene in a solo hunt, abandoning the mission, then joining on a friend.

  It will always be weird to me that microsoft sells some games both on the microsoft store app and the xbox app, but other games exclusively through the xbox app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games have you sunk the most time into?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I played RoR1 a couple years after release, RoR2 on release, and RoRR on release. I still like 1/Returns better than 2, but I like 2 as well. They are honestly pretty similar in gameplay, but I think the 2d style leaves a lot more room for boss moveset creativity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Broccoli, cheese, and MILFs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How do you find out if you are a supertaster? I’m curious because growing up I couldn’t stomach any vegetable that was bitter. Broccoli, brussel sprouts, celery, etc. were enough to make me gag just from the flavor. Nowadays, I can cope with the bitterness by focusing on other flavors and textures but I’ve definitely been in positions where I have a single bite of celery and then can’t muster up the courage to eat for a solid hour.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Broccoli, cheese, and MILFs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they’re asking because you can develop taste aversion by eating something and getting sick (even if the sickness is completely unrelated).

  My sister got H1N1 when it was proliferating, and she had a box of nilla wafers before the symptoms started hitting hard. Now she inexplicably can’t eat a single nilla wafer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nuclear⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think people underestimate the value of intertia in power generation. I liken it to the way capacitors regulate voltage changes or coilovers absorb bumps and vibrations.

  The inertia of the generators connected to the grid helps stabilize frequency changes caused by blackouts, power plant issues, etc. by resisting and therebly slowing down frequency decline. It buys time for grid operators to find a way to balance loads in a way that doesn’t weaken or disable the grid as a whole.

  Here’s a great NREL report explaining how this all works, and what other systems we use to stabilize grid frequency.

  My reasoning for why “infinite” would be easy to remember is because “infinity” is notably a word with only i as a main vowel (excluding the y)

  But I see what you mean too
