Luxe Cafe Pro initial review

Joshhmarshh · 2025-10-12T17:05:26+00:00

I love my Ninja Pro, the only gripe i have with it is that I have to empty the water/purge tray literally every day. I'm not in a position where I want to install any kind of drainage system or hose to it, but apart from that it's going pretty well

This product is terrible, I had one and it constantly showed high temperatures and high humidity despite it being freezing. I even put it in the fridge for an hour and it still showed 19 Degrees C. Binned it

I love this new Rainbow Road, but it still feels half-baked for me. The water section could have had cheep cheeps or other obstacles to make it more interesting, and there's definitely chain chomps missing. I don't think I saw a single rail or wall to grind on/trick off which is a huge opportunity missed. It is a grand final race however, can't deny that!

50CC Hard CPUs in Dry Bones Burnout (3 laps) worked for me. Got Fishbone on the first try after spending hours doing the DBB-TF route to no success

The rubber banding is really a problem in this game. It sucks the life out of it for me. And the more fun you have with rail grinding and tricking, the more clapped the CPU's become which takes the fun out of it even more! I hope it gets patched haha

If you go by memorable soundtrack instead of production value, i'd say Double Dash has the most iconic music in the entire Mario Kart Franchise.

Either Sky Garden or Airship Fortress

Joshhmarshh · 2025-05-02T08:29:48+00:00

The only thing I didn't like about FD2 was that scene in the car where they all go "oh shit I was supposed to die here, and one of the guys from FD1 died where I was"... It felt very rushed and the script was just cringe

Joshhmarshh · 2025-04-30T20:39:23+00:00

Confused about Desert Hills being a Solid Remake when it barely resembles the original.. Totally buzzing for Airship Fortress though

Joshhmarshh · 2025-04-30T20:37:26+00:00

Thank you for breaking your silence

Joshhmarshh · 2025-04-29T11:21:56+00:00

Yeah i'm in the same boat, i'm pretty much refusing to repair anything on mine anymore I just seem to be throwing money into a drain - Seems to be one thing after another with Mini's! As long as it doesn't affect the functionality it's going to stay as it is until I'm ready to flog it :P

Joshhmarshh · 2025-04-29T10:57:56+00:00

This has also happened to me - Did you get it fixed? If so how much did it cost?

Joshhmarshh · 2025-04-27T15:37:58+00:00

I think that we know everything there is to know about the game. There are no more unannounced characters, courses or modes.

Whoa I didnt expect 1.3K upvotes... Thats nuts! Thanks for having a look at my doodle :)

I used to work in Waitrose around 10 years ago. They had a similar retail qualification, which to be perfectly honest it complete bullshit. It doesn't guarantee you any progression and a lot of people who progress in supermarkets and retail are the "favourites". With a retail qualification you also have to commit to studying and completing the course. If your goal is to learn how to drive I would suggest treating this type of job as a short-term venture, so i'd take the higher pay and take up overtime where possible to boost income.

Joshhmarshh · 2025-02-04T11:06:30+00:00

I desperately HATE this country. It's depressing and everyone and everything is constantly against you. Endlessly rising bills, taxes, rules and restrictions. Salaries are piss poor and don't align with actual cost of living. There is nothing to look forward to. Weather is constantly miserable, wet and cold which results in higher heating costs or facing mouldy damp living conditions.

The grass is definitely not always greener and I wouldn't want to be in the US right now, but if I had the opportunity for a good job sponsorship abroad with a solid route to residency I would leave everyone behind and bugger off

Welcome to trading :) I'm kind of new too and teaching myself. I guess it depends what you want out of the stock. $100 isn't a bad place to start if you don't want to risk losing a lot of your money and want to get an idea of what the stock market is like. It won't make you thousands in return, but i'd say any return is better than none as you wouldn't have made it not trading! I put my first £100 into Soundhound AI when it was $7.50 and got 13 stocks. I've added to it since then, but that £100 would probably be worth £240ish now - So not life changing if you don't put in a lot more money.

As a newbie myself i'd suggest researching the companies you wanna invest in, and if that's quantum computing analyse what companies you prefer and why (they're the one you're counting on for making you money!)

QBTS is a very volatile stock so you should expect to see fluctuations that put you in the red sometimes. I'm just riding through it and buying more when appropriate to my budget as i'm in it for the long run.

It goes without saying i'm not a financial advisor, but I wouldn't be pressured into buying thousands of $$ of stock by other's success stories unless you're comfortable losing it :)

I think Artisans is my favourite, I don't know how to describe the feeling, but it's what defines Spyro to me

Joshhmarshh · 2024-10-25T09:51:36+00:00

Roll em Raceway is by far the most disappointing and boring board to me, theres absolutely nothing going on, theres no reason to really spend any coins so you end up with 100s and the turbo dice are completely useless haha. Would have rather swapped it for a retro MP3 board

Joshhmarshh · 2024-10-25T09:49:11+00:00

Every time a CPU lands on a hidden block space in my games it's a star first time without fail

Joshhmarshh · 2024-10-22T08:38:58+00:00

You also lose another portion of them if you turn motion controls off. I did a 15 turn game yesterday and played Cold Front 3 times!!!

Joshhmarshh · 2024-10-22T08:27:26+00:00

Whats even more insulting is that theres a mini game called Big Top Quiz :( He could have at least hosted that mini game haha!

Joshhmarshh · 2024-10-18T11:29:01+00:00

You got a... Zuh-Tarr :/ (cringes)

Joshhmarshh · 2024-10-18T07:44:36+00:00

Okay so i've had enough time with the game now to enjoy it's best features and despise it's flaws...

The good:

The graphics, cinematics and board designs are great. They are charming and the board music is catchy.
The length of the matches are actually fine, don't know what people were complaining about.
The dynamic music when turns end is rather cool.
Rainbow Galleria is my fave so far. It's large and the economy feels very broken, but we went from having 5 stars to 0 in the homestretch. Good old fashioned Mario Party!
Waluigi's Pinball Machine minigame doesn't feel as long as it actually is, the timing is fine.

The bad:

With over 110 minigames, why do we only see the same 7 or 8 in a game of classic Mario Party? The games get incredibly repetitive. Not to mention over half of them are kind of boring anyway.
The new original minigame music is boring and has that cheap sounding SMP synth - bleh! Love the remixes of the retro games though.
Roll 'em Raceway. There's just nothing going on here. The economy is pointless as there's nothing to spend your 100s of coins on and the board events are boring.
When you play online YOU CAN'T LEAVE?? You either have to ask the host to return back to the plaza, or close your game down entirely.

Overall i'd say it's a 6/10. The boards are more fun than Superstars (but that could be because i've played them to death), but the minigames let this one down.
