As a Reddit user who's recently moved to Lemmy - that's a fair point, you fucking moron

El Orfanato. Watched it as part of a foreign language film club at school when I was about 12/13. Over a few weeks we watched some Ghibli, some great Italian films and then this.

Nothing could have prepared me for this film, I'd never watched a horror movie before. I had nightmares for at least a month, and I'd actually be hesitant to watch it even now because it scared me so badl!

Has to be said though, was a great film and it had me choking up at the end.

I picked up an official translation of Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou so I'm gently enjoying that. The art is beautiful and the bittersweet nature of the manga is pretty beautiful honestly.

And also Go With the Clouds, North by Northwest because I love Aki Irie's art. It's set in Iceland but reminds me a little of Norway which makes me happy.

Glad to see you're enjoying Dungeon Meshi!

I've not read it to completion, but the YoRHa: Pearl Harbour Descent (depicting events leading up to NieR: Automata) is certainly very good. As an aside, the NieR: Automata light novels are excellent.

If you're in to your Yoko Taro there's also several manga entries in the Drakenguard universe, but I don't know these so well.

There's also a bunch of good adaptations of visual novels, like Danganropa and Steins;Gate, but I feel like I'm cheating a little by suggesting those!

Bloody fantastic game, I wish Mark Wood was permanently injury free so we could always pick him! Bowling at 95mph and blasting sixes for fun!

Woakes will probably end up as the unsung hero of this game, he is a major reason for this win. I just hope they consider giving Jonny a rest for the next game... so the ultimate Stokes Woakes Foakes combo is allowed to shine.

I'm all for this, it would be a good way to get a bit of chat going each week which is important for keeping the sublem active!

When dialling in (I'm new to it), I like to try and maintain the same brew time. So I'll adjust grind size to try and account for this, although I've found that as I go through a bag I end up wanting a finer and finer grind. Does also depend on the roast of the coffee, so if a roast is darker than I expected I'll grind a little coarser as I believe darker roasts extract more easily.

I can tell you now, if you start reading it, the story will go places you could never guess! Great manga, lots of likeable characters and a fun story.

Poor Dungeon Meshi getting called out here... However it's one of the best series' I've read for years and I would highly, highly recommend it - I love all the insane food it somehow invents. And in fact it somehow remains the focal part of the story, despite the ridiculous twists it takes.

I own the Eureka - for my purposes, and the price I paid, it's fantastic. It grinds great for filter coffee, and I can fine tune it to my heart's content. It gives nice, consistent results.

But you're right, the retention is not good. I'm looking into getting some sort of 3D printed bellows so I can flush out the retained grounds - I've otherwise resorted to tapping the hopper a good few times to get the last gram or two out.

I did originally consider the Fellow Ode 2 or the Opus but the price was just too much. I'm sure they're excellent but I couldn't justify spending so much money, €180 for the Eureka is already quite a lot.
