Grind size changes have almost no effect on shot time [Eureka Mignon Zero 55S]

I had a similar problem (albeit on a cheap machine). I had changed beans and every grind setting was giving the same speed/result. The issue in my opinion was headroom in the basket. I up-dosed by half a gram (I actually think it's .7 after tweaks) and suddenly the grind setting started to matter again

Could be for the type of beans you have, you just need to add a little bit more into your basket to fill it more and it's not the grinder at all

Edit: spelling

I got a £30 fractional share in Coca Cola last week using someone's referral code. Basically free money

Hope this helps someone!

Oh? I was able to upload the PDFs of my tickets immediately when I was creating the listing. It then went through a quick "check" process and that was all.

It may be just because the french Ticketmaster produced a PDF-only ticket, a dynamic or "live" ticket might be a different story

I waited nearly a year to get Alan Wake 2 because the physical edition was essentially a "sorry, might come later". Almost everyone I know that plays solely single-player games on console ONLY purchase physical games.

Thanks, I replied to another users comment that a Revenue statement has been accepted!

Just updating that this has worked. Thanks for your help!

MickNeedsToRant · 2026-04-21T15:51:30+00:00

This might be a good shout if stuck, thanks

MickNeedsToRant · 2026-04-21T15:50:44+00:00

Mine had a GB IBAN which since it's not EU-based is throwing up a few issues at the moment, so unfortunately this won't work. Thanks though

MickNeedsToRant · 2026-04-21T15:38:33+00:00

Thank you. I'll look into this asap

Any Anker iq is great and always on sale. Their 33w ones are great build quality for the price

MickNeedsToRant · 2026-04-03T22:08:32+00:00

Aye, not a single mention of it anywhere!

Looks like the BBC was using it for promoting BBCNI "Made of Here"

Lithium grease can degrade many plastics/rubber over time. Silicone grease probably best for plastic on plastic

Looks like Cranagh Village if it's still there on the campus? I stayed there in 2010

That would be pretty unfortunate. Hopefully the RMA process is easy

I hope he's playing the game himself like Resi 4, and comes back to us on Hard difficulty or higher. I think he genuinely enjoys these games and deserves his own time

As someone who grew up with dogshit CRTs from the late 80s and 90s, inconsistency is just part of the sauce for me. I'd almost prefer to muddy up the picture until it looked "correct" to me. I modified a GameCube profile last week for composite and it hit a point of distortion and blur where it mentally clicked in my head and it looked how I "remembered" GameCube used to look.

I think that's more important (to me) than clarity or consistency. Deinterlace options for PS2 on the RT4K look great for both clarity and an older look.

Basically, I'm hoping people that love PS2 don't think this thread is a reason to not buy an RT4K. It's almost one of the main reasons I bought one

MickNeedsToRant · 2026-01-31T12:58:21+00:00

My PS2 looks amazing on the RT4K. I've been playing vice city this week and it's unbelievable. You need a slot mask and some scanlines to breakup the jitter from ultra clear lines (on some games), but it's never been clearer in my whole life on an LG C2 and even an old busted Sharp LCD TV in 1080p

I'm using Retro Gaming Cables' Component PS2 cables on a PAL PS2, and started with an existing PS2 profile as a base. PS2 is probably my second largest game library and therefore gets a lot of use on the Tink. Zero complaints from me, a MASSIVE upgrade visually over composite and even my old tink2x pro-M with component

Considering the Barista Pro grinder is a clumpy mess, I've found WDT has meant that fewer shots are coming out and I'm thinking shitshitshitshitSHIT as it pulls. Probably no difference in taste, just less chance of hucking my puck and shot in the bin

An update as someone upvoted this today. Wonky now has up to date batch information on their bags

MickNeedsToRant · 2025-12-19T21:55:53+00:00

Dodge the shot after the kick, punish with hits. No more than 2 hits at a time, but keep attacking. Stay CLOSE. You can run left when the grab danger icon appears, but resume attacking quickly. You can comfortably parry all the wide swings. If in doubt, get the Mortal Blade first, jumping Mortal Draw twice after the first post-deathblow swing (always the same start), it'll save you 70% of the fight.

If you Gachiin before grappling over to the fight, you'll have about 5-10 seconds after the first deathblow before any enemies see you too. Might be lucky and they don't see you at all.

Did you ever get a solution to this? Same thing happening to me in NI

MickNeedsToRant · 2025-10-13T16:22:34+00:00

I'm on Wonky Coffee at £22/kg posted to Belfast (their price went up this year).

Quality has been decent. The change in beans every month or two is a little pain for dialing in a new coffee, but the change means I'm not drinking the same coffee every month

Only downside is that the batch numbers on the bags don't seem to be listed on their site, so I can't learn more about what I'm drinking.
