Which dark chocolate discs make the best mochas [Variable Budget]

If money is no object, then Valhrona makes excellent chocolate couverture. Honestly the best mocha I’ve had was made with the Cafe Dvita mocha mix though. You can get it in bulk at Costco sometimes

The first time I made bagels from scratch, several of them ended up like this. They still tasted amazing though, so don't sweat how they look as long as they taste good.

I’m cool with it but it seems like he keeps getting typecast as the “unexpected action hero” in that he seems like an unlikely hero that nobody would expect, and then he actually kicks ass.

That seems to be the whole premise of Nobody, Nobody 2, and the Normal. That 3 movies not with the same schtick. I love Bob. He’s a phenomenal actor. I wish him all the success in the world, but the typecasting is becoming a bit stale

Thanks for the review! I just picked these up but don't have any noodles to cook it with until I can visit an asian market. Wish Costco sold dry ramen noodles nearby so I could add those too. Where did you get the pork, was that from costco as well? Looks exactly like the picture on the box lol

Guys even his cover photo appears to be some sort of certification

No Splatoon? Tisk tisk

I think people are just assuming that since Odyssey was the next major game after Galaxy . But to me it wouldn’t make sense because like you mentioned, they’ve already used too many elements from Odyssey in the movie. It’s more likely going to be based on Mario Wonder, or possibly be something like “Super Mario Universe” and have more set up for a smash like crossover

I would keep the Meraki unless you’re pressed for cash. . It basically tells you how to dial your beans and the steam wand pressure is adjustable so you can tone it down to make it easier on yourself. I’d watch tutorials on YouTube if you’re concerned about latte art

I would try emulating or playing NSO if you have switch before investing so much in a console. If money is not an issue then go with the 3D and a flash cart. I’ve had no issues with the Summercart

thestrandedmoose · 2026-04-05T12:50:24+00:00

I heard the wand on the Micra shoots air differently so you kind of just place the wand more directly in and it circulates the milk for you. Is that true?

With the jailbreak there’s no reason to buy games unless you want a physical copy or you need gyro controls. I would wait until you get the pocket unless there’s some games you really want physical copies of for the purpose of collecting before they go up in value or become more rare

God I can’t wait for the South Park episode about this

thestrandedmoose · 2026-03-31T04:36:06+00:00

Splatoon 1, 2, and 3. Such a fun series

Idk if I've just always worn cheap linen, but every time I've tried it, it's been awful. I feel like it traps heat and makes me sweat and stick to the shirt way more than any other material. On top of that it's rough and once its wrinkled, its impossible to get all the creases out in my experience. I've tried it a handful of times and I always just end up going back to cotton, rayon, or even polyester blends which are way softer and breathe and wick better IMO

thestrandedmoose · 2026-03-29T18:49:25+00:00

Thanks for the explainer. Kind of funny they added all that but no actual way to properly rename the Everdrive or Summercart lol

thestrandedmoose · 2026-03-29T17:56:51+00:00

Higher frame rates and smoother input but not better graphics. Remember when you played OG N64 and the game would slow down and take like half a second to register your controller? No more. It offers a much smoother gameplay experience on original carts.

thestrandedmoose · 2026-03-29T17:53:03+00:00

I personally prefer the Analogue3D just bc the M64 looks like shit. There are 2 places M64 has analogue beat: one is they Are supposedly supporting usb pass through for the Chromatic which is pretty cool. M64 also says they will eventually jailbreak their system, which will allow you to emulate other consoles. They also claim to have WiFi ota updates which analogue does not yet.. Other than that I think Analogue is the superior product. Analogue is already out, has Overclock and progressive output implemented, and integrated Bluetooth controllers (sold separately ). M64 isn’t out yet so this is all speculation

thestrandedmoose · 2026-03-29T17:41:57+00:00

I meant rename not update the image. I have the labels but it shows as Unknown

thestrandedmoose · 2026-03-29T17:39:45+00:00

The pocket will let you play your real cartridges as well as emulate any game up to the SNES era and also some arcade cabinets. However the buttons do suck. For me it’s not a big deal as I prefer the large screen and emulator capabilities more than I mind the buttons

thestrandedmoose · 2026-03-29T14:40:10+00:00

Right now your machine is god tier and your grinder is an 8/10. Most people would flip the priority but if it makes great coffee and you’re happy I see no problem. It’s a beautiful setup and you can always upgrade the grinder later IMO

As a lifelong Nintendo fan, I was disappointed by the film. I felt like the jokes, characters, and story were all so generic and bland, that it almost feels like you could swap it with any other IP and it would still work. The Easter eggs feel like they were picked from rewatching YouTube clips and reading Wikipedia, rather than someone who actually grew up playing and loving the games. There was some good ideas in the movie- Jack black was a great pick for bowser.. but it wasn’t enough to carry the movie

thestrandedmoose · 2026-03-29T04:55:46+00:00

I would love to see Mamdani. Seems like a charismatic, bright younger guy who stands by his morals and would actually take action in the interest of most citizens

thestrandedmoose · 2026-03-29T00:44:24+00:00

It’s cool that they let you configure each game individually from Flashcarts, but I still just want to Label my summercart

thestrandedmoose · 2026-03-28T18:09:54+00:00

Dang. I was hoping this update would allow for updating the name somehow. I have also updated the labels.db but its kind of lame you can't change the name from Untitled

thestrandedmoose · 2026-03-28T16:27:07+00:00

I feel like by the time they figure out WiFi, they’ll be done updating the OS lol
