It’s possible you got a fake? There were a couple of reviews saying they went through a similar experience and the only tell was the packaging it came in.

I actually purchased a pilot metropolitan and it worked really well after a few mins of getting the ink to flow through it.

My only gripe is that it has an odd quirk with certain strokes but a lot of reviews mentioned this.

I actually tried this and it didnt work.

I played a lot of similar games and they all have that. I was surprised Diablo didnt. Maybe I disabled it?

I use a 3rd party one without any issues for my PC.

I do have an official adapter for power though. I’ve seen too many folks kill there’s with 3rd party ones.

God, I used to love going to AX.

I used to have so much fun going through the stalls looking for stuff that was hard to find online and finding things that I didn’t know existed.

It now feels like every stall carries things easily found online at a way lower cost.

I switched to controller recently because of this and not being able to stand in place and attack without moving.

I honestly feel controller is a lot more enjoyable. My only gripe is navigating the inventory but it’s such a non issue when your mouse is right there.

These little fellow was so social.

Just following folks around and watching them intently.

Turns out he was waiting for some dropped popcorn.

I’m sure each instance has it’s preferred way of how they want to run things.

Eventually one of them will thrive more than others or they’ll all be able to coexist.

I think it would be best to let them organically grow and see where it goes .

Thanks for the tip.

Unfortunately, there was no Subscribe option on the page. I ended up Subscribing through a different instance so all is dandy .

Im glad it’s not the norm for them to not start writing immediately. It looks like I’ll have to trash the Jin Hao and look for some other options.

So far the consensus is that nib up is the way to go, but I’m wondering if this will cause issues when I need to start writing immediately.

Thank you for the recommendation!

I’m not in Europe sadly, but the Metropolitan is something I can definitely consider.

I’ve read that either nib up or flat on a surface is fine, but it should never be nib down .

After fiddling with Hong Dian I’ve found it to be a lot better, but theres still frustration with having to wait a few seconds before I can write .

Doesn’t look like freegames can be subscribed or followed outside the lemmy.ml instance :|

You know what’s crazy ?

I know folks who don’t experience this and think we’re crazy for having this happen.

I would focus on having fun and making sure you stay within a cohesive theme instead of building around a single card or two.

It helps to familiarize yourself with the color archetypes for the set and the mechanics.
