    My go-to recommendation is a TWSBI Eco T: ~$30, huge ink capacity, a triangular grip to help you write properly, and mine has lasted me four years so far with no sign of damage. Lamy Safaris or Pilot MRs are other common recommendations for starter pens. My favorite black ink is X-Feather cause it'll work on even the shittiest of paper, but if you're left handed and smudge easily I'd go with something quick drying like Heart of Darkness. Goulet Pens is the shop I use. There's some things to learn about the pens, but most of all is to write with as little pressure as possible. They'll write with the weight of the pen alone usually, which is great for preventing writing fatigue, but pressing too hard might damage the nib.






  • Best is a strong word, but two MMOs that had amazing ideas are Face of Mankind and Puzzle Pirates. FoM no longer exists, but it was an open world MMOFPS with economy and politics and all; there is a spiritual successor being developed called Mankind Reborn which will hopefully not have many of the same flaws.

    Puzzle Pirates is a game (with economy and politics and all) where all labor is done in the form of puzzles. You'll have one to man the sails, one to load cannons, you have one for when you get into a sword fight, and there are even puzzles for economic stuff like blacksmithing and distilling. Your performance in the puzzle determines how effectively you are working, creating a real skill based game.
