ha!

maybe it’s 2 AV (after V)

Ah, glad to hear it! I’ll definitely give it a whirl, thanks.

Dang, those are beautiful screenshots. I recently moved over to Linux and have only tried a couple of games on here, but I should see how that one works… haven’t played it in a few months, and I have ways to go in it. I don’t even remember what chapter I’m on.

Awesome, thanks again!

This is awesome–thank you!

So, I just picked a server, and created a private space for me and a handful of friends (we have a Discord server that I’d like to move over). Do you recommend turning on encryption for our rooms, or is it enough that our space is private? Will I have to worry about my friends maintaining their keys, or is that handled pretty automatically by the various clients? etc… Thanks!

Rocket League does…

Awesome, thanks! Offline is definitely more my speed, it sounds like, but, I could see getting into the dailies sometimes.

Very nice. I’ve only played story mode, and not all the way through yet. What are the main differences between that and online?

hmmmmmm you’re tempting me to get back into this one. I think I have 60 or so hours on it? Not enough to try everything yet, but definitely enjoyed chilling in space.

Hahaha! Yes, I also grind my partner’s for her, whenever I’m around… I keep offering to buy her an electric one, but… then that would be so LOUD… :)

It’s from the movie Animal House. :) One of my favorite scenes ever (because who hasn’t been that kid? lol).

Whoa, that’s impressive that you hand grind for espresso. That takes a bit of muscle even with a pretty dark roast I’d guess. I mostly use it for pourovers, but even on a coarse grind, some of those lighter roasted African beans can have me working up a sweat. :)

Oh and a couple of beans always pop out of the top! I’ve been meaning to custom-fit some kind of lid…

Yooo, Lido 2 represent! I’ve had mine for about the same number of years, use it daily, and it’s !@#$ing amazing. I remember wincing at the $200 pricetag, but it performs better than the Baratza, outlives the Baratza, and… well, yeah. Hand grinders for the win. I have more than gotten my money’s worth.

Very cool! Glad to hear it. I’ve always imagined I’d move on to a FreshRoast after my popper kicks the bucket (or when I get tired of it), but, I’ll do a little more research on this one too. Looks relatively affordable for the feature set.

Ooh nice. I still use a popcorn popper, and no bean probe or nothin’, but I like my results well enough. But I see something like this in my future because I like nerding on this stuff. I agree with almar, how’s it taste? Have you been having good results with the Skywalker?

oooh those are bringing up some serious childhood arcade memories.
I loved Zaxxon! I gotta see if I can play that on PC.

I’ve been roasting my own lately, in a popcorn popper. It’s cheap, quick, fun, actually decent if I don’t completely mess it up, and occasionally even surprisingly good (as in, “I’d pay $20 for a bag of this”). Because of the size of the popcorn popper, I only roast ~100g at a time, so lots of experimentation with roast times, etc. I definitely go on the lighter side.

Totally agree with this! Same thoughts about Spider-Man too.

Ooh, the sock thing looks cool, but I’m in the same boat as you on it! Maybe someday.

The reason I picked the Coava was, I live in Portland and they’ve been one of my favorite local roasters. They do their in-shop pourovers on those things and I always loved how they came out, so, I splurged one father’s day and got myself one. Of course, I don’t have a zillion-dollar grinder, so mine don’t come out quite as good as theirs…
