  • I discovered that much of my problem was the stock ink that came in it; it felt terrible to write with. I ended up ordering a Parker Jotter and replacement ink, so I’m trying both out to decide which I like better. I think I like the form of the Jotter better, but it’s quite small and light. I like the weight of the rotring 600 more. I think I’m going to try both out and return one of them. Or just keep them both, I haven’t quite decided yet.



















  • I really hate being negative towards artists, but does anyone else feel like a lot of the recent card art looks rushed? I don’t know what it is, but it’s like the faces look too smooth and 3D. Not like actual pictures. Just compare this to the original [[Massacre Girl]] and it feels rushed (although different artists, so styles can certainly vary).

    I got similar vibes from [[Gimli, Counter of Kills]] and [[Rankle and Torbrand]] recently, just to name two cards off hand.

    It’s not the artists, because the same artists who I see cards that I think look bad have old card art that looks fantastic. I get the feeling that Wizards is asking artists to produce so much work that we aren’t getting the time put into a single card’s art that we used to and getting more rushed art.

    Maybe it’s just me. I’m curious what others think.


  • The one I have you can set temperature that it heats to and tell it to either hold that temperature or get to it and then it’ll just cool off if you don’t use it. It has more settings but I’ve just had it set to 194 for forever.

    I will say that I swear I spent closer to $50-60 for mine but it’s at like $105 on Amazon right now which is absurd. But looking at the price history on camelcamelcamel the price really has climbed a bit over the past few years. It used to drop around $60-70 a bit. Ridiculous how expensive things are getting.
