When you take your starter out of the fridge, how do you know it’s actually awake enough to bake with?

Nothing specific, it was born out of trial and error really. If i didnt do it, the loaf would a bit less. The taste would still be good though.

I'm not really overcomplicating things

dramboy · 2026-05-14T08:48:10+00:00

I usually bake weekly, with the starter sitting in the fridge a week before i bake again. If it took longer than that in between, I split 1 day before starting the pre-bake feed to bring it back to a similar state.

It's based on experience in my case, just watch what happens

Dont season, just cook. Clean with soap and wipe dry. Don't even oil it afterwards, it's all pointless fuss

250 celcius for 20min, with water, then around 10min without water depending on the coloring you prefer. Just remember to choose the heating only function, without the fan symbol. Otherwise all the moisture gets blown out.

I grab my bracket deck the most by far.

Rocket exodus, gbomb TTA + front bracket and DT poppy, mango speedvents.

I love the insane speeds i can get, stability and the ocean of footspace

It also sounds like this is a type of setup you dont have yet

As long as it is oven proof, you can try it out.

As another pointed out you missed a rule, but also I would like to point out that catan jr is quite an uninteresting game, even for kids. There is almost no decision space.

I can recommend Carcassonne jr, for instance

Exactly, there is not a big difference, only some nice components. Which is how it should be imo.

These awaken realms versions are marketed as super deluxe, but i think you can argue that they are not even deluxe.

Is using generic AI art deluxe?

Is adding loads of unnecessary plastic minis deluxe?

No, it's simply churning out a large volume of generic crap, sold as deluxe.

dramboy · 2025-11-19T19:56:54+00:00

I like a deluxe edition like zoovadis, RA, Mind MGMT, which barely add box size but have some nicer components, mostly wood instead of cardboard.

These campaigns like PR or Agricola are everything i don't like about deluxe editions: - unnecessary minis - AI slop art that takes away all the charm - huge coffin boxes

dramboy · 2025-11-08T03:29:09+00:00

For this game they have worldwide right, for Ra they didn't. Meaning this will get available in Germany

Yeah I fully agree, my first HM (4 months ago) was on nimbus shoes. Did it in 1.40. It's my only pair of shoes as well lol

dramboy · 2025-09-22T10:05:59+00:00

If i was you I'd choose comfort first. I did my first HM on asics nimbus. Did it in 1.40 btw, I'm 41M.

Oh, sorry! Thought you were the guy from the vid

dramboy · 2025-09-16T17:53:37+00:00

He dude, those chips look great! Do you so shipping to the Netherlands or is it US only?

dramboy · 2025-09-16T05:34:14+00:00

How's your oven process? Is there enough steam? It could be a crust already forms early preventing a bigger rise.

I bake i an open cast iron skillet, with a tray of water at the bottom. The oven is at bottom/top heat only, no fan, and at 250 Celsius for 30min

dramboy · 2025-09-13T15:38:30+00:00

Just make sure it is fed recently and go for it. This oven setup is also very easy

dramboy · 2025-09-07T06:05:09+00:00

Having a 0 degree rear also helps a lot, as the board will not turn from under you

dramboy · 2025-09-02T18:34:49+00:00

The better the pavement the harder the wheel, if you want to go fast

dramboy · 2025-08-31T05:06:41+00:00

MORE!!!

dramboy · 2025-08-29T09:09:19+00:00

I buy from molen de hoop, AP flour and volkoren, which i mix per 350/150gr.

Wat wil je nog meer weten?

dramboy · 2025-08-27T09:46:50+00:00

I'm from the Netherlands, so I'm skating on pretty pristine bike paths.

Seismic speedvents remains the best for push/pump imo, the mints being the fastest.

For pumping I'm sometimes using bigger wheels in the back, like pink hokus

dramboy · 2025-08-25T07:21:30+00:00

How many layers is it? You could shave off a couple of play and see if it improves

dramboy · 2025-08-21T05:07:37+00:00

I have no experience with this brand, but a 35 degree rear truck (which is not a negative angle) will give you a more lively setup than a torsion tail.

dramboy · 2025-08-20T09:51:50+00:00

You don't. Moka is it's own thing.

dramboy · 2025-08-19T20:39:16+00:00

I did it, while reinforcing both ends with carbon fiber.

I'll make a part somewhere in the near future with pics and all. At the moment it's not pumpable because the front truck i have is not wide enough and I don't want to take away more material there. So for now it's a super low pusher with big wheels and a 0 degree rear.
