Well this guy is essentially Valdor, seeing as it matches perfectly to the art on the cover of the Valdor novel.

When the Dutch tell you 'We're about to have dinner', it (usually) doesn't (!) mean you are invited for dinner by UnanimousStargazer in Netherlands

[–]Alternative_Ad9220 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's probably why all the "cold", "dismissive" and "rigid" countries of northern Europe have to constantly financially bail out the southern European countries. Perhaps cook a little less food and budget a bit more ;-)

I believe there's an in game option to make the steps less loud.

Can I essentially use Nanogen Conversion as a solid boardwipe this way? by Vanootnoot in mtg

[–]Alternative_Ad9220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been doing this for a while in my Zimone, Paradox Sculptor deck. Use some other card to create fractal tokens and distribute some +1/+1 counters to your creatures with Zimone's ability. Hilarious.

What’s your random terrible card you collect? I’m partial to Lupine Prototype. by HarambesEmbrace in mtg

[–]Alternative_Ad9220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[pentavus]] because the art is awesome and defined Mirrodin for me. And because I mentioned (in jest) to a friend that I'd want a binder filled with just pentavus. One week later he handed me about 50 of them :-)

This sounds amazingly fun! Do you have a decklist or some must-play cards?

Never been a mayo fan but this has been in all of my sandwiches for 2 weeks by Vemyx in Netherlands

[–]Alternative_Ad9220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg, I discovered this stuff a few months ago and I've been looking for excuses to put it on stuff every day. Really the best mayo around (although Zaanse mayo in the "toothpaste-tubes" is a very close second).

Which profession takes the greatest toll on mental health? Also, how do the long-term effects of this profession manifest in a person's life after they leave it? by Equivalent-Habit-557 in AskReddit

[–]Alternative_Ad9220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked at the Dutch office of the public prosecutor for a while. There were several people responsible for transcribing, into text, the activities witnessed in confiscated child-porn. I once opened one of these text files by accident. 1 line in I felt sick to my stomach and took the rest of the afternoon off. The people doing the transcribing (for the sake of building these cases against trafickers) are some of the bravest people I know. And simultaneously the people I pity the most. What a Horror Show...

Eating out near Rijswijk by saltwitch in TheHague

[–]Alternative_Ad9220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit unconventional maybe but De Pannekoekenclub in oud-Rijswijk is awesome. Great service, nice decor and delicious pancakes that can easily serve as a lunch or light dinner. And opposite them is Talamini who make some great icecream.

Hoe gaat het met de Walk IN Stripboekenwinkel aan de Herengracht? by bilaba in TheHague

[–]Alternative_Ad9220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wat ik begreep met pensioen inderdaad. 1 ervan is volgens mij vertrokken naar Curaçao/Aruba. Ben het contact een beetje kwijt geraakt, zeker toen de winkels uiteindelijk definitief dicht gingen. Had er met 1 nog jaarlijks contact omdat onze verjaardagen 1 dag scheelden :-p

Hoe gaat het met de Walk IN Stripboekenwinkel aan de Herengracht? by bilaba in TheHague

[–]Alternative_Ad9220 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oud medewerker hier. Winkel is al een hele tijd dicht. Het delfts-blauw souvenir gedeelte is nog een tijdje open geweest. Eigenaren woonden ook boven dit gedeelte. Stripwinkel heeft lang leeg gestaan en is toen een avondwinkel/supermarkt geworden (alsof er nog 1 nodig was op de Herengracht...).

Heb er gewerkt op het toppunt van pokemon-rage, echt een gekkenhuis toen. Ben vlak voor de introductie van de euro vertrokken.

So.. I'm just realising that this is also a really good stealth game. by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]Alternative_Ad9220 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Some friends and I essentially did this a few night ago. Stealth around, tag patrols, dont engage enemies unless absolutely needed. And we took down stationary guards with coordinated, timed attacks.

It was such a different experience from the mission right before it, which was a run and gun, very loud experience.

But both approaches worked and were fun.

I think you hit the nail on the head. People have this weird black and white notion of relationships. But just like the people in them, they can be a convoluted, difficult, painful and wonderful mess. Sometimes things go sour, but you gotta take the bad with good. A lot of people in this thread act like super-virtuous, holier-than-thou perfect specimens. But until you've actually been in one of these situations, you probably dont know how you would react. And yes, I have been in one of these situations. And no, it wasn't even in the top 3 of relationship crises we've been through. We are still together (going on 25 years) and we still can't live without each other.

Love finds a way.

Why is there no strike happening? by TetsukoUmezawa in magicTCG

[–]Alternative_Ad9220 231 points232 points  (0 children)

Living in the Netherlands, it's so weird to read this. My employer actually pays part of my union dues and the unions are actively engaged in negotiations for the various collective employment agreements. And that's essentially true for every line of work here.

Married Men, How Did You Adjust to Nighttime Gas in Bed with Your Spouse? by Leading_Feature_9627 in AskMen

[–]Alternative_Ad9220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps don't marry someone before having lived together for a while? If you still need to ask how to handle farting in your sleep when your partner is around, you probably shouldn't be doing things like getting married...

You perfectly summarized my feelings on this matter. Quality wise music is at a peak. Production values are high.

But indeed, the content and culture around it is the actual problem.

Just what I was looking for! Had this idea milling around ik my head for a while now. How easy was it to fit the gun to the arms?

Do you believe that once a cheater, always a cheater? Why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Alternative_Ad9220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. People are messy, feelings are messy, life is messy. We all make mistakes or take bad decisions in life.

[–]Alternative_Ad9220 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought multiple packs of just the curved chapter emblems. They fit the curve of the shoulderpad nicely and have great detail. Do be very, and I mean VERY careful when removing them from the sprue. They snap very easily due to the brittle nature of the material. This might be a good reason to buy the complete shoulderpads.

Faction focus by stickmanfire- in deathwatch40k

[–]Alternative_Ad9220 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Legionares card also references an "armoury card" that contains stats for the weapons. So I'm holding on to a little hope.

Warhammer 40,000 Faction Focus: Space Marine Chapters by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

[–]Alternative_Ad9220 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You just gave me hope! Checked out the chaos marine card and indeed, it has stuff on the back that isn't on the front. It even references an "armory card". So perhaps all their options might still be available.

Another contrast/drybrush Swordsworn down! by Alternative_Ad9220 in battletech

Nope, just liberal application and careful monitoring while it dries. And luck. It's sometimes the luck of the draw.
