EDIT: I also have R&K alt-goldgrün

i really love how both these inks look but i'm struggling to source either of them. I love the sailor's slightly pastel pink tone and the trouble make just blows me away, it looks like a water colour. Anyone have any recommendations?

Hey guys, just joined this subreddit. Due to pandemic reasons, my love for robot collecting is getting back again. I wanna collect studio series' devastator combiner, after a bit of searching here and there and also watching some transformers reviewer in youtube, I stumbled upon 3rd party maker called devil saviour, they made their own version of devastator called trouble maker. It even have the "scrotum" parts lol. So senior transformers collector of reddit, give me ur advice, should I collect studio series' or the devil saviour's? Thanks in advance

Shipping is $30 for both

Check the pic to see the pic of the mislabeled petrichor ink. It’s suppose to be blueberry but it’s actually petrichor!

I rewrapped it up again and it’s 99% full for both ink. They’re both tested with dip pens.

Edit: feel free to correct me but I’m 90% sure it’s petrichor and not blueberry. Blueberry was suppose to have a sheen and not split into the gray/pink tone the current ink has.

This is a bit of a reach but has anyone seen Troublemaker Studios? I’ll be in Austin next month for work super close to the studio and would LOVE to see the set at any cost. Any suggestions for who to write/call to see if there are any opportunities.

Like the title says. I keep hearing hype for 123 and our local store has it in stock, but I keep wondering how different it could possibly be from the multishading grey inks I already have. Of course the smart thing would be to try a sample first, but my options for that are limited right now.

Happy New Year everyone! Hope 2022’s been treating you guys well so far!!

Do your worst!

It really does, I swear!

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

As producers, we love our toys.

Because let’s face it — EQs, compressors, saturation plug-ins, and other similar audio tools are a lot of fun. They’re practically addictive!

Before you let loose with your favorite sonic sweeteners, however, you need to take a few steps back and check your mix’s balance.

The concept of balancing channels isn’t very glamorous. It’s not as exciting as talking about the latest state-of-the-art vibe-infusing doodad.

Nonetheless, balancing channels is an essential skill — one you need to master if you want to consistently achieve pro-level mixes.

Not sure where to start? Let’s take a look. 👇

Try Balancing Channels Yourself Before we get into the details of this post, have a go at Balancing Channels yourself below.

What Does Balancing Channels Mean? Balancing channels simply means that each element of your mix is set to an appropriate volume in relation to the other elements.

If your tracks are well-balanced, you won’t need to slap an EQ, compressor, or other processors on anything to attain a cohesive sound; it will already be there (although the mix will probably still sound a bit rough around the edges).

It’s kind of like making sure you have the right amount of ingredients for a dish, instead of worrying about how to prepare each one. How you cook rice matters less than having the right amount of it for the meal in the first place.

It’s astonishing how many producers skip this essential step when they’re mixing. Instead of crafting a solid-sounding rough mix, they dive straight into their plug-in collection and start tweaking.

This is a huge mistake. Failing to lay the proper groundwork for your mix is like building a house without a proper foundation.

A poorly built house will inevitably cave in — and so will a poorly built mix.

So, why does balancing channels work so well?

The Volume-Tone Connection The volume of a channel has a massive effect on its overall sound, especially when you adjust it in the context of an entire multichannel mix.

For example, increasing the volume of a track can make it sound brighter — it’s like you’ve boosted the upper frequencies with an EQ. The opposite is also true; decrease a channel’s volume, and it will sound darker and more distant.

It’s all about context — when you adjust the level of one channel, it can make your remaining tracks sound either brighter or darker. It really is a balancing act!

You’ll often see inexperienced engineers dialing in a crazy EQ curve or slam

Pilot on me!!

In early 2020 Enric Alvarez sent a video message to MercurySteam employees.

At the time, the studio was working on two very different projects and several workers had expressed complaints about the lack of communication from the company about what they could expect going forward: "We didn't know how the project was going, we didn't know what was going to happen next or if we were going to stay. Enric, trying to calm people down, made a video in which he literally said that there was room for everyone in the company, that everyone could stay if they wanted to, because the company was growing and a new project had arrived". Although the company's co-founder managed to calm things down, the tranquility did not last long.

A few months after the video was shot, MercurySteam laid off all but two QA workers and a large number of animators and 3D modelers. The "Slayer project", the game we now know as Metroid Dread, still had several months of development left. It also had several internal crises to face.

"Things come out with a lot of sweat and tears."

"Between April and July [of 2020] some Nintendo representatives looked at the project and cut back because, as far as I know, we were way over scope. There were about 120 cutscenes left to do, it was too big of an overscope; an art bottleneck had formed, so they removed a lot of the art work and this hurt other departments like AI," a programmer who left the studio shortly after this review tells us. "I lived through two fat cuts," a colleague confirms us, placing the previous one between May and June 2019. "Metroid had initially planned twice as many bosses as there are in the game and almost twice as many cutscenes and that was unmanageable, it was impossible. The negotiation of this other cut was led by a programming manager who interceded with Nintendo because we couldn't meet the deadlines. There was no time because, besides, we don't do crunch. This man was the dike between Nintendo and us. He saved our lives."

These cuts in the scope of the project are, for some, the cleares

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Did you miss out on Inkvent and wish you’d bought one? Have I got a deal for you! I am located in Canada, but I will ship to CONUS if you are located there. Shipping may be more expensive.

Wait, you mean I'll have to report my fountain pen "income" via PayPal G&S starting in January of next year? Time for a December downsizing! These are some of my favorites and I'll be sad to send them off.

Visconti Homo Sapiens Crystal Dream with Fine 18k gold nib. B. I bought this pen new and the nib was seated incorrectly on the feed so I sent it in to Coles of London for repair. Even after they sent it back it was scratchy due to misaligned tines, so I spent the extra money to send it to nibmeister Mike Masuyama for a proper tuning. His reputation is well deserved! He was able to turn this beautiful pen into a beautiful writer. It now writes smoothly with a lovely ink flow. I would call this akin to a Lamy Fine-- a bit broader than your average Fine line width, but a joy to use. As you can see the pen is still filled with Sailor Seiboku, but I can flush it thoroughly and take more photos if requested. Comes with original box. Asking $775 $750 shipped and insured to CONUS.

Visconti Homo Sapiens Demo Stones Ruby with Fine 14k gold nib. B. Another Visconti that had an incorrectly seated nib. Coles of London did a fine job restoring this to be what it should've been in the first place (Visconti QC LOL XD). I would actually consider this an Extra Fine line, but what do I know? A beautiful pen and writes very nicely. Comes with box. Asking $475 $440 shipped and insured to CONUS.

Lamy Imporium Titanium with Fine 14k gold nib. B. This pen is a nib swap, but there's good reason for it-- this Fine nib is one of the smoothest, bounciest, most well-behaved nibs I've ever used. If you like some heft in your hand, the Imporium is the pen for you! A gorgeous, unique design that doesn't get the credit it deserves. Comes with box. Asking $225 $200 shipped to CONUS.

SOLD Scribo Feel 'A Riveder le Stelle' limited edition with Fine Flex 14k gold nib. B. I purchased this direct from Scribo after falling in love with another Feel. If you've never tried a Feel before, you really should. The bulbous shape fits perfectly in the crook of the hand and has the perfect heft to it. The only reason I'm selling this is because my original Feel has a special grind that I find myself reaching for more often. This is a gorgeous writer with a super soft, bouncy nib that's perfect for super wet flex writing. Or put a dry multi-shader ink in it and have yourself a ball! Upon taking pictures of this pen,
