I am happy with my collection here. The Namiki Capless is a good addition to the Mont Blanc 146 and Sailor 1911. I really like Sailor Manyo inks for their watercolor-like shading. Not pictured: 1948 Parker 51 with needlepoint nib (out for repairs).

#npd #NewPenDay I would talk about it on Reddit, but I prefer BlueSky. I love fountain pens, vintage even more so. This pen has been on my wish list for a few years, but out of my price range. This is really nice.

I made my own Pile Up Poker @puzzmo.com board! This game rocks. I need those 4-color Puzzmo cards though! They’ve got a beautiful card deck for sale, but I need those rockin’ colors and those quirky royals.

I used Unity for 8 years, it was at its best in 2017 imo. I use Unreal Engine now because I want to teach my students how to work in a large team, and I wish I had time to use godot.

In other news, the Global Game Jam was a wonderful time, last weekend. I’m halfway through my 12-day week, and it’s totally worth it. People making cool things is always energizing.

Mario Party (the first one) for the N64 had Mini Game Island. I spent a lot of time between 5th and 8th grade playing these minigames.

SNES > Kirby Super Star > Spring Breeze. The onboarding tutorial was a masterpiece. The game itself had so much built into it.
This is a game to study and emulate. It took 10 minutes to complete, lol, so if anyone wants to tell me about more snes Kirby to play, please do!
