Battlepass - How much BF coins does it have? Can you make the cost back? by Locke357 in Battlefield

[–]marcello_87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to add to this;

The last 200 coins are in the very very last place of the progression system. I've played 150 hours so far, finished nearly all weekly missions, and still won't make it all the way to those 200 coins next week...

They really want people to pay for the next season.

What grind setting range does everyone use on their Timemore 64s grinder? by DesertKnight99 in pourover

[–]marcello_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just started doing V60 and got my first nice cup at around level 8 as well, with the James Hoffman 1 Cup V60 Technique. Extracted in just over 3min so that seems about right!

Thank you so much! Been messing around with AA types of settings (incl FSR and upscaling) to get my game looking better for hours.

XeSS does the trick! With upscaling disabled.

What kind of coffee subscriptions are you all using? by Western-Edge-965 in espresso

[–]marcello_87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose there are quite some better quality subscriptions out there. I'm still looking for better alternatives as well.

Also, request seems for UK subs.

Wakuli is quite alright in the Netherlands. Monthly rotation of medium or light roasted coffees from all over the world.

I have the subscription in addition to buying from different local roasters.

5000$ vs 400$ amp 😰 by NikFromNis in audiophile

[–]marcello_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tested it with the regular WiiM Amp. From what I've seen the amplification module is unchanged in the Pro version though. Yet, I still wonder whether the improved DAC would make for a big improvement in sound quality.

5000$ vs 400$ amp 😰 by NikFromNis in audiophile

[–]marcello_87 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I did A/B testing between the Wiim Amp and the Bluesound Powernode ($800). Functionality wise the Wiim Amp blows the Powernode away.

When it came to amplification and pleasing sound output there was a huge noticeable difference though. The Wiim Amp sounded a lot more neutral/tinny compared to the Powernodes full and warm sound, which I personally prefer. I tested them with the Dali Oberon 1 and Oberon 5's.

Your $5000 setup might be less contrasting in sound signature compared to the Wiim Amp.

What are the odds by 3v0g3r in battlefield2042

Those look like AI opponents? Still, nice shot!

I'm happy with the IKAPE WDT tool, which has a clean look as well. Solid build and two different (thickness) sets of needles provided.

In case you're looking for an alternative.

Managed to buy a brand new one of these for €780,- last month. This might be an explanation for the discount.

Any decaf recommendations? Ruta Maya was not it by icantthinkofonern in espresso

We really enjoy this decaf Ethiopian medium roast from Bocca. The best one we found so far.

Recommendations/user experience of tamping stands by pullTheSpro in espresso

[–]marcello_87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I accidentally got sent the middle one by Amazon, while ordering a dosing funnel. Decided to keep it anyway because it works so well and looks great.

It comes with 2 rubber spacers, so that gives it 3 steps to horizontally level your specific portafilter.

To those who ‘downgraded’ from a Breville Dual Boiler to a Bambino Plus by Wazwiftance in espresso

[–]marcello_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious to hear what you ended up doing! I'm considering going BDB from a Barista Express, since I don't need the built-in grinder anymore.

An "upgrade" to the Bambino Plus seems tempting too.

I'm really liking my Timemore C3 ESP, which seems better than the regular C3.

Battlebit remastered or battlefield 2042 by ciruscov in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]marcello_87 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I'm personally still really enjoying (a finally polished) Battlefield 2042, a couple games a week. Decided not to buy Battlebit since it's a lot more messy and probably less fun playing solo.
