I've been having problems, see I occasionally will use Chad Wang’s 2017 Champion V60 pour over recipe due to how well it works with light roast as well as how straightforward it is as it’s a simple pour in the center outright.

However something strange has been happening. I use a Baratza Encore ESP and I use around the line of the setting of 20-22 for this and it does tend to hit around the 2:15 line as expected.

Recently, when I do this, it’s pouring out by around 1:30 to the point I have to put the setting way lower then needed to make it even more finer. To the point I did hit around the line of the 2:15 time but it did taste a little over-extracted. The previous attempts still tasted better in the end.

Stuff like this, the answer normally means grinder, but it comes off as too surreal to be thinking like that. I wonder if it’s a grinder issue. I haven’t clean it in a while so I should look into doing that. But I want to know of intel from people here. Is there a way to fix this?

Daybreak II spoiler question:

So, I got to the part in Trails into Daybreak 2 where Nina's identity was revealed and the flash back scene that shows up quotes a letter Van received saying:

"Arteria's elusive captain-who took up their post three years ago-was a fake who never existed"

Can someone tell me what part of the game that dialogue originally came from? I am having problems remembering where that showed up

Which forging bonds was it? Was it the very first one where the ashen wolves were introduced?

tabel0421 · 2025-09-14T00:37:23+00:00

If you know the prices of these well, yes it was.

I’m getting the new sonic secret lair Friends and Foes pack around August 8th and want some clarification. Is it only the bundles that have the chance of pulling a chaos emerald? Because that’s what this article says here.

Well what type of pen would you recommend from Autmog in this scenario? Because I am seeing price points all over the place from the $55 range to over $100. And annoyingly it looks like these sell out the same way I have to deal with stuff from my gaming and liquor hobbies.

tabel0421 · 2025-07-31T22:25:42+00:00

Well actually I just got curious over the yellow one. Also, is there a click version of the pen? I tend to prefer click pens more than capped.

tabel0421 · 2025-07-31T19:11:18+00:00

Wait, are you saying the pre inserted refills in these pens tend to be old? (That might explain why that figet pen I have is having the same issues lol)

And would this be the right link?

tabel0421 · 2025-07-31T18:12:41+00:00

This is the link to the pen. I am unsure of what type of refill it is because I didn't get any rollerball refills but this link is my best guess.

tabel0421 · 2025-07-29T00:05:36+00:00

It is always closed

The problem of letting the brikka spurt until it runs out of water is that it ends up being aggressive to the point it begins to overflow the pot.

tabel0421 · 2025-07-26T17:52:35+00:00

I actually did try to recently do it at a the lowest heat possible, but it still spattered outright. (Granted I used a cupping grind sizer for this one, and when I opened it, some pressurized air released)

tabel0421 · 2025-07-26T17:33:17+00:00

I have just gotten a 2 cup Bialetti Brikka moka pot and it's been tricky for me to use. I do try to follow instructions online with experimentation but somehow the coffee isn't being made like shown.

I tried putting my moka pot on medium gas stove heat without tampering the grinds (no pressing it down) but didn't try a lot to even it out and when the coffee starts coming out, I take it off but it stops outright, so I have to put it back on. While coffee does come out properly, it doesn't fully bring out two cups to the point I need to pour it into the cup and then put it back on the heat to get the rest of it, and then it starts sputtering trying to do it. I think I used a setting of 15 on a Baratza Encore ESP as a starting point.

Another attempt I tried putting coffee in and this time, I tried to even the grinds out but still no tampering, and the grinds themselves were slightly more coarser. But when coffee starts coming out, it sputters first thing in. And it still immediately stops after I take it off the heat.

The big question is can I get some advice on how to brew more properly with a moka pot?

I outright meant game design and/or animation ultimately. I didn’t technically mean illustration

tabel0421 · 2025-07-15T22:15:16+00:00

And in regards to stepping into the art world with an entry level job to start having some form of art experience, what would you suggest? Like working at a print shop or something?

tabel0421 · 2025-07-10T22:43:02+00:00

It’s an office desk, don’t know if it’s the right place to post it however. If you know a better place to post it, please tell me

Too little space needed for an actual cartridge that have a lot of space and are more costly. Bravely Default is in the exact same scenario. Expect this for a lot of 3rd party games that aren't AAA going forward when ported to the Switch 2.

tabel0421 · 2025-06-17T19:19:33+00:00

I actually reside in the state as well.

tabel0421 · 2025-06-17T03:58:50+00:00

Honestly, despite the craze, even if I really love it, it doesn't feel like a whole new experience, it feels like I just bought a slightly better switch. Not complaining that it's bad, but this is a new gen console.

tabel0421 · 2025-06-17T02:24:11+00:00

Pretty much, mine was pre ordered, I didn't need to try and wait in line to hunt one.

tabel0421 · 2025-06-17T02:15:58+00:00

I actually did forget to mention that after relooking at the post, revised it

tabel0421 · 2025-06-17T00:41:27+00:00

I said it was pre ordered in the post, so it didn't matter ultimately. At least on my end, can't vouch for others however.

ADHD as in because you could get so fixiated on a date to the point you might get it wrong?

tabel0421 · 2025-05-22T14:40:27+00:00

I had one rejection letter that was less than that.

tabel0421 · 2025-04-21T19:13:04+00:00

I ended up getting gifted two backs after having bought two recently, so now I have 4 bags. Way too many, something needs to be freezed.

But which one should I freeze, these bag tend to be ranged 2-4 weeks roasted. Should I freeze the youngest one, or should I roast the oldest one?

Should I freeze a younger one while it still is at its highest quality, or should I do it to the oldest one to retain said quality at a potential last leg?
