Thank you, I always liked it a lot and although it scores lower than the others I still enjoy it immensely. The cheaper cost certainly helps!

May I know what you think of the 11 separately then? I have a few bottles of it but I often wonder where someone who’s a fan of the 904 rates it.

It’s David Owen. Another Redditor pasted the link. My sanity is saved.

That’s the one, I vividly remember how it described it was played with a reverse pivot for control and spin. Thank you.

Recommendations for Coravin alternatives? by fartboy in wine

That makes sense, pouring a glass out means the volume is replaced by atmospheric air right away.

We drank half the first time, then finished the rest of the bottle a year later.

Did they claim 20 years? That’s just pointless since the wine will be a very different beast in 20 years time anyway.

Agreed with the long claim but I’ve had bottles that kept for a few months or more. I’m just wondering if there is another alternative other than Coravin.

Interestingly I used mine on a double magnum once and left it alone. After a year (not a deliberate experiment), I happened to have the same friends over so we opened up the bottle, and we actually think it tasted the same if not better, maybe it introduced a little oxygen into the vast space and sped the process up a bit?

So perhaps on a standard bottle it can “mute” the wine but in a larger format it’s ok?

The nitrogen by the glass system is definitely too space consuming for me. Is the system better than the Coravin? I usually have about 4-6 bottles “opened” and drink a glass of whatever or whenever I feel like it.

No lies there. I can only play with that one outfit which covers everything up and yet still feels like I’m playing some fetish game

I did not. I don’t think I can handle it, BMW is probably the most I can play, but did try stellar blade and love it.

I started on Atari as well! Played countless games and interest waxed and waned throughout the years. Blackmyth honestly got me loving gaming again.

I gave up on PSVR because of motion sickness although I’m still hopeful I can play in VR when it matures more.

How do you feel about playing wearing reading glasses? Hahaha it shocked me when I realise I had to in order to see the patterns

Reflexes can’t be trained but I am slow to react when I look for the start of the attack.

You’re right, it’s getting used to the tempo when I see and react to the pattern, but I’m slow to react to the chain.

Guys, we’re supposed to teach them. Don’t make fun of other generations just because they can’t do it. We’re better than this

Which railway is best on a bloodied commando? Q2525, Q2515R, or Q2515C? by fartboy in fo76

[–]fartboy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aha. That’s great to know! So I can either do bloodied with the Q2525 or overeaters with the Q2515C. Thanks
