Wow, even the cheap flea market finds can come back to life like that...

Omg YES. My dude literally said the same thing word for word lol.

My friend Mark spent an hour just watching the fish in a Breath of the Wild pond.

Learned this one the hard way too. Check the label for 'oil pastel' vs 'oil crayon' before buying. Oil pastels should feel buttery and soft right out of the box. If the paper wrapper feels waxy or plasticky, it's a dead giveaway. Sticking with known brands like Mungyo or Sennelier for the real stuff. Also test one on scrap paper before touching good paper next time.

Got the same thing happenin with my granddad's old hammer. Bought a cheap one from the big box store and the head flew off on the third swing. That old wooden handled one he had still nails straight and doesn't wobble, it's like they actually made stuff to last back then.
