    8bitDo Controller - mx2Games or their own website?

    Well, that sucks that the process isn't standardized. Thanks for the information though. Will update how much it cost me in total once I get around to ordering it.

    Your Gaming Backlog/Progress Report!

    I am playing Far Cry 3 as well, and I am currently on the Knife (Buck) missions. The game is exceptional, to say the least, and the driving feels so robust and weighted, which I really like over the general weightless feel of major video game driving mechanics. The inventory UI is okayish, but...

    8bitDo Controller - mx2Games or their own website?

    Can anybody who frequents importing products confirm the custom price, how much am I looking to pay on a pair of these controllers? I am inclining towards ordering from the official website next week as mx2Games have been iffy with stocks in the past.

    Aavesham A laughter riot with exceptional acting by its leads. It is fun, vibrant and fresh. Feels a little long at times and would have benefited with more strict editing but it isn't a issue when you are enamored by the charm of the main lead throughout the movie. Great music and visuals as...

    - You can leave it after an initial mix for some time to autolyze. Salt and oils stop the autolyzing, a point to remember. Wet your hands slightly and get to work. Dough sticking in the initial stages is natural. - Can't over-hydrate something if you have measured it beforehand. A bowl with...

    - You don't need to bloom yeast. It was done to check if the yeast culture was alive before our sophisticated storage methods became widespread and the practice stuck. If your batch of yeast (doesn't matter if it's active or bakers) is relatively new, you can directly incorporate it into the...

    - Ice water for making yeasted dough and pastry doughs. Aim for keeping the dough under 28C as a general rule of thumb. Avoid proofing doughs in Indian room temps and rather do the proofing in refrigerated environment instead. This will increase the proofing time but will develop the flavor a...

    Health & Fitness Ergonomic Chair to work continuous more then 12 hours day (Budget 5000-7000 INR)

    I would highly suggest increasing your budget to around ₹10k and getting an entry level WFH chair from Featherlite. Go to their local store and check the models out. They are extremely well built, reliable and have great after sales support. Many hotels I have worked in purchase them for their...
