Nice one. What did you end up doing with your grinder? Or are you going with pre-ground for now?

The thing holding you back, outside of learning and practice, is your grinder. It won't work for espresso, as there isn't enough granularity in the settings.

You mentioned pre-ground coffee from a local roaster, but that also won't really work unless you're using pressurised baskets.

I would get a new grinder. If you can't afford something too expensive and want to stick to hand grinding at the moment, have a look at something like the Kingrinder K4 or K6.

Here's a good guide to get you started: https://espressoaf.com/guides/beginner

As others have said, there'll be a learning curve and it may take a while until you're happy with the results. But you've picked a great machine to start. Unfortunately it's only one part of the whole thing haha.

It's always hard when you leave a game. I left Sekiro for a bit over a month. The only reason I went back to it was because I was waiting for another game to install and thought I'd load it up again. I'm glad I did, because I didn't drop it after that.

No that's the first encounter. He's hard, but it's just a matter of learning the move set. You can do it!

I spent over an hour on one of the other bosses. I'm not good. I still managed to do it haha.

You can also look up some guides. Not to cheese him, but to help you get a look at the move sets so you aren't in the thick of it while you're trying to learn them.

Which Owl? I spent a lot of time on a couple bosses, sometimes it clicks and sometimes it doesn't. If you keep at it you'll eventually get into a pattern.

Yeah no worries. Sorry, still getting used to the crosspost stuff, so should have mentioned the Sekiro community.

Oh I already posted on the Sekiro community as well. Was just trying to test out the cross posting feature.

Oh right. I've been using Voyager so maybe that feature isn't there yet. Will give it a shot on the web version.

How do I do that?

It doesn't help that users might be split across instances. I posted recently over on this instance: !patientgamers@lemmy.ml

I didn't want to repeat my post and annoy people who might see it two or three times.

Agile isn't meant to replace anything. You need to use the right method for your context. No one said the purpose of agile is to replace all other methods.

Agile doesn't have to be implemented perfectly to work. You seem to be holding agile to some higher standard than anything else.

You have to get over the communism comparisons. They aren't relevant.

Just because you haven't worked in an agile environment you enjoyed, that doesn't mean it can't work. It can and does work. Just like any other method. And it can and does fail. Just like any other method.

OP didn't work in agile. They were told that they were working in agile but it was just an excuse for the business to not have requirements and continually change their mind. Every one of the issues they raised could have happened in any other methodology. It's poor management.

So if all approaches are poor, then anarchy? I think you need to move on from the communism comparison, and the idea that unless something is perfect it's not worth doing.

Believe it or not, there are people working in successful agile teams right now. Just because you haven't, that doesn't mean it isn't tenable.

As long as it's not LEGOs I can get behind that.

I disagree. I'm currently working in agile and it's the best team I've worked in/with. It can easily go wrong, but it can also work really effectively. Implementing agile in an "ok" way, is still better than waterfall in most instances. Of course it depends on the business context.

Take all of OPs complaints for example. Sure, they can be an issue if agile is implemented poorly (or not at all in OPs case), but all of them are inherent issues with waterfall. Developing something only to find out days before launch the business has something else in mind. There would be much less chance of that happening in an agile environment over something like waterfall.

There's a big problem with people saying they work in agile, when they're really not. Like in OPs instance. And that leads to the negative sentiment about agile never working. I get it, I've been there and had to work in agile teams that weren't really agile. That doesn't mean it can never work.

Good points. And from what I remember of the books, 80% of them was people talking about things that have or will happen, not actually seeing it. I'm not sure a direct dramatasiation of the novel's would have made great tv.

It's a steep learning curve (was for me anyway), but it's really rewarding when you get it.

Oh I know that feeling. I don't know if you remember the dragon rot thing that happened if you died too much. Well pretty much every NPC had dragon rot for a long time in my playthrough haha.
