Ugly Pens: Rotring Core
(lemmy.world)
Look at it! Behold the butyl overmold on the comically oversized cap! See the screen printed lines like a 90s basketball sneaker! Feel the forced ergonomics of the weird section! Examine the submarine portholes of an ink view window!
…It actually writes okay though. Rotring made good nibs.
Today's ugly pen is tomorrow's highly sought after quirky collector's item. You never can tell.
This is why I never get rid of pens, knives, game consoles, trading cards, motorcycles... That's what I tell the other half, anyway.
I do wish I could find my old Atari XEGS. The 7800 still works, though the RF Converter is junk. I could mod it, but I'm happy enough with an emulator not to head down that particular rabbit hole.
