    I currently have a fully clear Pro Gear Slim and have been eyeing the Koi color for some time but am biding my time for a pen show at the end of September. Even though I love Sailor my grail pen is still the Namiki Origami Penguin. Pilot has great products and I fell in love with the design as soon as I saw it. That being said though Taccia has some pens that have tempted me as well since they seems to be a subsidiary of Sailor.

    Have you tried any Mnemosyne notebooks? The paper is very fountain pen friendly and has a bunch of different sizes. I personally love them and use them for note taking.

    It's been about a year now since I fell down the rabbit hole but I love my fountain pens. For work I have to do a fair amount of writing that gets looked at once by someone in an office then thrown out so it's nice to have fun writing it. After the several different brands I've tried I've fallen in love with Sailor. Both their pens and ink are amazing. Currently I rock a Pro Gear Slim in medium with Shikiori Yamadori.

    After so long of putting it off because no MMO had stuck before I finally tried FFXIV and oh my God I wish I would've done so sooner. After falling in love with the Dragoon class and being drawn in by the story there was no end of joy as I've played. I'm partially through the Heavensward expansion and if the quality keeps climbing at the rate it has, this may be in contention for my favourite game.

    I upgraded from a Galaxy A50 to the Pixel 7 pro a few months ago when an errant falled killed it. So far it has done everything I've needed it to and then some. The reason I chose this over a cheaper alternative is because of commission work I started picking. For the commissions I needed a camera that could perform how I needed and damn has it ever. Besides the camera the functionality has been great with only a few complaints here and there. My main one with how Google photos is organized but that is a rather small gripe.
