    My personal definition may be skewed (I tend to look at any smaller developer / non-AAA title as an indie), but it was also nominated for Best Indie Game in the VGAs this year.

    Tucker and Dale VS Evil is a great horror comedy. It's got some incredibly quotable lines, memorable characters, and really funny parodies of some horror tropes. It might be a good fit!

    I'm trying to curb the impulse to get more pens to have inked up by looking into a glass dip pen. I'd like to be able to switch colours for headers/underlines/etc.

    Personally I use a TWSBI Eco-T, and a Kaweco Sport. A couple of people here touched on inks and filling systems, but one other suggestion would be to get something with swappable nibs, or cheap enough pens you can get a couple of different nib sizes and try them out.

    My TWSBI is a medium nib, and I'm so happy I went with that. My Kaweco is an extra fine (as a pocket pen, I wanted something that could write in small text fields when out and about) and if it was my first pen I probably wouldn't have continued in the hobby. I find it scratchy and don't like my handwriting nearly as much with such a thin line weight.

    Seconding Mnemosyne. I got a notebook for my dad along with a pen for Father's Day, and he's loving it. Personally I use a binder and some decent paper from Amazon, but the Mnemosyne notebook paper was so incredibly smooth. It's way better than what I'm using.

    Fountain pens. I bought one on a whim, I don't even write by hand often. But I'm trying to write more and work on my penmanship (to at least be legible when trying to be fast).

    The fountain pen community is by and large fantastic. Pens can be under $5 or over $1,000. Every shade imaginable is available as fountain pen ink. They're not intimidating and I personally find them to be a comfy and fun writing experience.

    In the mood for a Lovecraftian fishing-sim game with a compelling little story? Check out Dredge. It's not a long game, but it's a fun game. If you're a completionist there are some mechanics that make catching 100% of the fish not a chore.

    Just finished up the season of Hell's Paradise and Kimetsu no Yaiba. I fell off of watching Skip and Loafer and Heavenly Folly, I need to go back and finish those up.

    I'm getting caught up on too many manga to name - I realized several of the sources I use in my reader app had gone down, so I had to migrate them all and now I'm going through the backlog.

    Very excited about the upcoming anime season, mostly for Jujutsu Kaisen and Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon (My Happy Marriage).
