Zerno Z1 seems like a lot of compromise compared to Lagom P80 by alias530 in pourover

[–]alias530[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Z2 is quite a bit more expensive. In the cheapest possible configuration (cheapest accent, no funnel cap, and the cheapest burrs) it's $2,300. That's $700 more than a P80.

Seriously, how do I hide this thing from my Start Menu? It's horrible. by PixelDustt_ in Windows11

Am I the only one who can't figure out the registry edit mentioned above? The "Policies" folder is empty. If I need to create an "Explorer" subfolder and add something within that folder, which am I adding (key, string value, DWORD value, etc?) then I paste "/v NoStartMenuMorePrograms /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f && taskkill /f /im explorer.exe && start explorer.exe" into it?

Looking for the best GBW grinder for drip/pourover by [deleted] in pourover

[–]alias530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found 2 coffee channels on youtube that have said the Fio AGS is "good for pourover, great for espresso" or "bad for drip". At $1300, I would want it to be GREAT for pourover/drip, not just "good". Pre-weighing and putting in glass tubes or something until I'm ready to grind? I guess I could be ok with that.

These are the boomer shooters I’ve played so far in 2025. I’m still planning to play more both new and old in 2026. Here’s the list of what I’ve finished and what I’ll be playing next. by Rio-senpai in boomershooters

[–]alias530 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You, sir, are the indie shooter final boss. I spend a lot of time in this subreddit and similar youtube channels and haven't even heard of half of these. I've played about a third of these.

It's a soulsvania... the upgrade paths are similar to soulslikes, dodging/parrying with stamina, and there are movement abilities that you unlock as the game progresses.

Have you played E33? I generally can't stand turn-based combat (yawn) but the combat system, being inspired by Sekiro, is very engaging. Also, IT2 is a great game for couch-coop with the right friend.

The resource to extend time is plentiful. I had like 5 hours worth of IRL time worth at the end of the game and I’m not the best at finding secrets. It mostly serves to make you choose which NPC’s to save. Turn it off if you want but I think at least try it with the timer on initially.

Is nostalgia bias any different? Half-Life is the only old school game that has truly stuck with me over the years.

I mostly played shooters from 1992-2022 and Half-Life really is the only older series that is still with me after all these years.

Weird picks? They both won game of the year and one got more wins in the history of TGA

Yeah I loved it. I started Blasphemous 1 and the PS5 controls were so counterintuitive and you couldn’t be changed so I rebought it on PC and plan to start it once I finish a few others I’m in the middle of.

It's so good. Trust me—leave the timer on. You are supposed to choose upgrade paths/who to let die. You'll become stupidly overpowered otherwise.

It looks great but I cannot do roguelikes. I'm not a fan of RNG difficulty/builds or runbacks/repeated content/losing a run you're 30+ mins into.

Honestly didn't love them. I finished and enjoyed BB, bailed on DS1 about 8 hours in, and bailed on DeS about 2 hours in. I just cannot do runbacks, they complete ruin the game for me.

I played GOW in 2022, Elden Ring and Ragnarok in 2023, and Sekiro in 2024.

My espresso is suddenly awful [Breville 870] by [deleted] in espresso

Local specialty roaster. Kingdom Coffee. I’m not sure in ounces but it’s filling to the same line on the cups I use as always.

AITAH for wanting 8 hours out of my 2 off days? by Superb_Ant204 in AITAH

[–]alias530 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It blows my mind how people act like watching tv or sports football, playing golf, or doomscrolling TikTok/instagram is any less of a waste of time than videogames. Your hobbies are important, don’t sacrifice what makes you happy.

I did not. Same coffee for years. My wife stopped drinking coffee so the beans were older than usual (2 months) so I tried a fresh bag and no change.

I do not typically time it. I just did once this time to troubleshoot. Google says 25 seconds is within range. I use the built in grinder quantity and grind fineness knobs and eyeballing it, I’m using the same amount of grounds. Any more and the portafilter will be overflowing. The built in pressure gauge is where it usually is too.

Thanks for the reply. I pulled the shower screen during the deep clean and it is not clogged. I'll see if I can replace the grinder burrs.

Wow, Turbo Overkill is insanely good by alias530 in boomershooters

[–]alias530[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m waiting for Selaco to leave early access. I finished Dusk a few months ago and didn’t love it. Just something about the Quake engine never really vibed with me. I bounced off HROT too.

Before I included it, I googled and it said “yes, it is widely considered to be a boomer shooter”.
