How to clean Diamine Imperial Purple stains out of a cartridge? - sh.itjust.works

I tested Diamine Imperial Purple in a reused Sailor cartridge before putting it in a demonstrator, and the result was a stained cartridge. I love the color, but I haven’t had any luck getting it out of my cartridge with water, soap, a little bit of ammonia, and time. I don’t write much, so a pen could stay inked up for months on end. Is there a way to get this color out of plastic? Is it safe to use in converters and demonstrators without staining them too?

Why is quakers.social defederated? - sh.itjust.works

quakers.social shows up on our list of blocked instances, but looking at the most recent posts at https://quakers.social/public/local [https://quakers.social/public/local] I can’t see why. They seem like a harmless group with a lot of religious reposts. Does sh.itjust.works have a policy of reciprocal blocking or something like that?

Washable inks? - sh.itjust.works

Are there any inks that wash out of clothing very quickly and easily? I’m especially interested in inks that wash out cleanly without stain treatment.

Why don't we have AAA Puzzle Games?

Why don't we have AAA Puzzle Games? - sh.itjust.works

This copies a post by grailly on Reddit. Most games have adopted popular RPG mechanics and it’s widely accepted that “everything’s an RPG now”. RPGs are also some of the biggest and most popular games around. I’d argue that Puzzle Game mechanics (aka puzzles) are even more widespread than RPG mechanics throughout the media. However, Puzzle Games themselves are pretty niche and basically never get any big budget titles. This gets more surprising when realizing Puzzle Games are very popular; Tetris might just be the most recognizable video game, Portal (Portal 2 might be the only AAA puzzle game?!) is insanely beloved, wordle took the world by storm last year, sudoku and crosswords are still in the newspaper every day, Candy Crush… Why do you think Puzzle Games are relegated to being indie or AA? I thought about it a bit and came up with some unbaked responses which I hope you will add to: * People want to kill stuff in AAA games. To which I answer, can’t we kill stuff in puzzle games? * There’s little point to making Puzzle Games more expensive. Would having The Witness or Talos Principle pushed to AAA status make them any better? * “Puzzle” is a recessive genre. Add anything to a puzzle game and they aren’t considered puzzle games anymore. So making a AAA Puzzle game will basically remove its Puzzle Game consideration. Puzzle + exploration = adventure. Puzzle + fighting = Action adventure. Puzzle + story = walking simulator, etc.
