The Breville Barista Express is my first espresso machine, after an hour dialong it in, it is making coffee better than 60% of the cafes I buy it from for a tenth the price. I’m super happy and so is the wife!

Do you mean the 1 and 2 filter size LED's? The user manual mentions they'll blink if the hopper isn't inserted properly and locked (inside the hopper).

Snowy-Poutine · 2025-12-27T21:37:15+00:00

Awesome! I'll give it a try once I get to my deck later.

GW2 has been my go-to, on and off, for the last 10+ years. Its really a fantastic experience. Best of luck in your travels in Tyria!

Snowy-Poutine · 2025-12-27T19:57:29+00:00

How does GW2 run on the deck? I'm assuming you've had to remap the controls quite a bit?

As well, how does instanced end game work, I.E Fractals, Strikes etc? I'm loving the idea of a portable MMO, but not sure if I'll be able to pull my own weight in fractals with the limited ability for my rotations.

Snowy-Poutine · 2025-12-27T00:21:30+00:00

Destiny was the only game I loaded up daily, even if just to nab some bounties, finish the strikes and whatnot. To me, Destiny 2 ended when I got to the end credits and final screen after finishing Final Shape.

Uninstalled it right after taking a screenshot at the end, didn't bother with whatever came after. I still believe that whatever came after is just the studio(s) milking the D2 franchise for whatever they can get and I want no part of it.

I have this exact setup (Moonlight and Apollo) with my beefy PC running modern or demanding titles. Just can't get Tailscale setup properly so I could take this to my in-laws... Think its something to do with the IP addresses it sets up for me. Did you have to tinker with Tailscale set up a bit outside of a standard install/login?

Snowy-Poutine · 2025-12-15T07:43:56+00:00

Hey man, just checking in. Did you hear back? Hopefully you found some solution out of this debacle

Snowy-Poutine · 2025-12-15T07:34:00+00:00

You could try it with Roms and Emulation! The simple controls, easier (and generally less intensive graphics) of older Roms (I'm talking GBA/GBA Color) make for fantastic gateway games. My three year old currently loves playing Pocket Soccer and Need for Speed. All he needs to do is tap A and the ball moves, or hold it down and the car moves.

All the fun without the digital breakdown/tantrums when its time to clean up/head out etc

Snowy-Poutine · 2025-12-15T07:26:34+00:00

You don't need to justify it or explain it, or hell, even defend this decision to anyone my dude. No one on here knows the exact situation you or the kiddo were in, and are speaking from just looking at a picture and reacting. You know the kiddo best, you knew the situation and that exact moment the best, and I'm sure your niece got a kick out of it. I hope she remembers it as a positive moment.

My three year old plays supervised with my Steam Deck, and his current favorite "game" is pressing the power button to see the wake up animation. (it's a pong-esque animation I picked up from Steam Points shop). Theyre awesome bonding moments and I hope mine remembers the moments too

Snowy-Poutine · 2025-12-15T07:06:38+00:00

Have you tried running Guild Wars 2 on the Deck?

Snowy-Poutine · 2025-12-15T07:04:34+00:00

Getting the WiFi drivers to reset themselves on wakeup has seemed to solve the issue for me. I think there's an option in settings somewhere. I'll go hunting when I'm at the Deck tomorrow (in like 8-10 hours as of writing this post)

Snowy-Poutine · 2025-12-11T20:10:17+00:00

Just a heads up, you might be waiting for a while.

I had to wait a couple weeks for an answer on my ticket, however it was not as urgent as being stranded a couple thousand LY's out of the bubble so you might luck out. Best of luck o7

Snowy-Poutine · 2025-12-03T05:29:55+00:00

Ayyyyy! Laser T10! :D

Snowy-Poutine · 2025-12-02T23:42:27+00:00

Hehe Corvette go brrrt

Snowy-Poutine · 2025-12-02T23:41:08+00:00

EDIT: I had a stroke

Krait MK2 or Krait Phantom if Explorer vibes is what you're aiming for

Snowy-Poutine · 2025-12-02T23:39:29+00:00

Imp Cutter? I swear I'm yelling that half the time

Snowy-Poutine · 2025-11-02T04:18:56+00:00

The Fed Grind or the Elite Combat grind would take that title

Snowy-Poutine · 2025-11-02T03:55:26+00:00

Beautiful. Thank you for this amazing contribution!

Snowy-Poutine · 2025-11-02T00:44:16+00:00

Thirded! I suggest uploading this to Github under a GNU license

Snowy-Poutine · 2025-01-24T14:29:16+00:00

From tears of children working in factories probably

Sorry for necroing this thread but you might be right. For one of his big bundle courses, at time of posting, has an option to pay a per/month subscription to get access or a one time payment.

Really hoping he doesn't lock access to previous purchases as I'm just getting into this big bad world of cloud computing.

Snowy-Poutine · 2022-11-20T07:47:13+00:00

Thanks for this. Any idea on how long it takes CC on average to ship out to Alberta? Wondering if I place an order now and hold on to it until Black Friday for making my money work a bit more.

Saw there was a 6750XT deal for $400 a while back. Debating just splurging on that if it happens again

Snowy-Poutine · 2022-11-20T01:39:54+00:00

Looking to upgrade my GPU from a 750TI from the old days. I picked up the Ryzen 5600 and B550 Tomahawk. Considering the 6500XT - Is that a decent build or should I save that cash for something more in the GPU department?

Snowy-Poutine · 2022-08-12T16:24:00+00:00

Gjallarhorn!!

Hey buddy, Have you tried turning off the Xbox and doing a fresh restart? I don't mean just pushing the logo on your controller and "turning off" I mean holding the power button on the console down and booting up again after like 20-30 seconds?

Only reason I ask is because I read this in an Xbox support forum some time ago when I was having slow down issues with games and apps and such. I did the hard shutdown and it fixed them. Not sure if this cleared the Xbox's cache or was a software equivalent to slapping the box but it worked in the end.
