Go to hiking, and do some work related stuff so I can take a mid week break next week.

TYSM for bringing this game into attention. After hours of staring at the screen everyday, last thing I want to do is to stare some more. I love playing video games and this sounds like a good compromise compared to listening to audiobooks.

As the other commentator stated, you're looking for a FP.

The things you're describing can be easily found... but they usually cost a lot to have all of the qualities at once.

That is unless you can get your hands on chinese FPs where you live. I get mine ftom aliexpress.

Now from my own personal experience you can't go wrong with either Jinhao X159 or Jinhao Dadao 9019.

You can get a fine nib which I think is the perfect balance between smoothness and crispness.

Another tip: if you find that the feeling of the nib is not to your liking, you can tune the nib. There are many excellent tutorials for this and you can do it at home without special equipment.

Since money is a problem, you'll probaly have to substitute it with your time in getting exactly what you want.

After going through a rabbit hole what I learned that this patch does is to allow time critical applications at top priority.

Most of popular linux distributions already have this patch applied in one form or another.

What I think it means for end user is that if applications use this part of linux kernel correctly, then they can speed up some core parts, be more responsive, and stable. But if it's abused, it can end up slowing the whole system.

There should be a sub for this kind of stuff so I can block it.

The real catch is how are you going to make any big purchases without your choice government breathing down your back

I can't say I've ever noticed any significant audio quality difference between this and something like Vinyl even on very good headphones.

But I would say that I've been trying to find equivalent equilizer functions that this app has on desktop. The bass boost function is the best one I've ever used. It even turned my very neutral etymotics er3se into solid thumpers.

There are so many. By usage however:

Smart Audiobook Player: None of the apps I tried had all the features in one, like reading my complex audiobooks folder structure and auto grouping the books based on that. Timer to pause audiobook that is automatically reset by moving the phone.

Maps: No foss solutions work better where I live than GMaps

YTMusic: So this is a tough one to beat because of the nature of the platform itself.

Notes: I am looking for a P2P syncable note app that can also have a web interface or atleast a Linux version of the App. Allows drawing your notes on an android phone or tablet using stylus, and other usual features. Can also use cloud storage as a backup or sync source. I know this one is a really tall order.

My man wrote a whole essay to start a casual conversation lol.

Anyways to answer: fountain pens. I got some cheap chinese ones from Ali Express, the company is Jinhao. A really good bang for your buck. You can get a pretty good one under 10 bucks these days...

Anyways the appeal of the pens to me lie in how deliberate they feel. You give importance to your writing by using a FP.

Another appeal is the feels of the pen. I have on occassion thrown away ball point pens by pure gut reaction if I accidentally grabbed one.

While others have answered your question, I just wanted to go on a tangent and add to some of the same frustration that you felt.

I hate hand holding in this game. I feel like missions trap you into playing a certain way. You have to treat the missions like they are an interactive movie experience. But otherwise, the open world exploration is fun.

For future, If you really like freedom but also need some goals and story and not just a sandbox, I would recommend trying either legend of zelda botw or totk. I think you can emulate BOTW on steamdeck.

If you can take some punishment then Elden Ring is also a great choice.

I hope that you can enjoy this game though.

I am watching Futurama or rather stopped watching at the third episode of this season. Is it just me or has the show taken a dip in the quality?

I feel like something fundamental to the show is missing this season.

I wanted to be a theoretical physicist. Somehow ended up running a small AI company. Money is nice but I still think of persuing my dream once I have enough saved up.
