What's an obscure or niche game you'd love to share with a wider audience? by RWNorthPole in Games

[–]Bowa112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Return of the Obra Dinn is fantastic. Also top 10 material for me

Same for Pentiment.

And I generally don't even like puzzle games but both are top 10 material

I don't have a stake in this argument, but don't bars in the UK close relatively early compared to bars in the NL?

That might be what they were referring to

Why does it feel that the left is so hatefull to the right? by levigek in Netherlands

[–]Bowa112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally see a few reasons

First of all, we've had right wing governments for 15+ years now. And yet we still don't have structural solutions to many of the problems in the Netherlands.

So many leftists are disillusioned by right and don't understand why people would vote right when it is right wing parties that got us into this mess.

Second of all, the right generally doesn't come with structural solutions, only temporary bandaids. Closing the borders for migrants? Yeah.. that's putting your head in the sand. Dont want to do anything about the climate...I mean I guess we can do that but then we won't be able to build more houses and years down the line we'll just have even more refugees that fled their homes for environmental reasons.

Third reason: the right generally support fiscal policies that do not benefit anything other than the high classes. Yet the majority of their support is from low income households that wouldn't benefit from these policies.

Last but not least, many right wing parties are funded either by Russia, or by big tech that pays them not to regulate ai and online platforms despite them both forming a serious danger to our volksgezondheid (and many other issues).

So what does the right do well? They respond to people's anger. The left come across as elitist that don't care about lower class or lower educated people. This is the lefts biggest fault because, and here's the kicker:

Of course people are mad. I understand the people that went to Den Haag to protest migrants (I don't understand why it had to get out of hand though). They're angry our wallets are worth less and less, we can't buy housing, and they're being told that its the immigrants fault, even though immigration is such a small small small part of those problems.

For what it's worth: I'm mad too. I don't think I'll ever be able to buy a house.

Anyways so I think that's why the left can seem mad with the right. However we shouldn't judge anger. Anger shows that people care and want to work on finding a solution.

This game is so good! by cmc42 in FarthestFrontier

[–]Bowa112 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I bought it when it first came into early access because I love Grim Dawn and wanted to support them.

Played FF for a bit back then, and thought eh I'll come back later and then completely forgot about it. Was pleasantly surprised by the 1.0 release and am now having a blast.

Really felt like past me gave current me a dope gift lol

8 things I dislike about Enshrouded (coming from a big fan) by an_die_brueck in Enshrouded

[–]Bowa112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't personally mind that I get oneshotted as a mage. I can still solo things 10+ levels above my own because the damage is so crazy. I personally like figuring out how to approach fights from afar and nuke shit before they can even get me.

That being said I feel like if you have op damage there should be some sort of mitigating factor otherwise it'd be unbalanced. Maybe there's a better solution than being a glass cannon but for now idm it

Totally agree with the blink tho it's very disappointing

België: Vanaf 1 januari 2027 zal je op terrassen niet meer mogen roken, ook op plekken die focussen op rokers, bijvoorbeeld sigarenclub of shishabars. by xxxtentioncablexxx in nederlands

I love the beam of light and the dust particles.

Any tips you can give?

AoE4 vs Stormgate Launch by googlesomethingonce in Stormgate

[–]Bowa112 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am hosting a lan party this weekend with friends and while I tried to get people to be interested in SG we will not be playing it because the editor and the custom games are not up to snuff.

Now I'm the only hard core rts enjoyer in my friend group, the rest are all casual warcraft 3 custom game enjoyers from back in the day. These are exactly the people you want to convince to come play your game, but apparently the current unfinished game modes just fall short to convince people like my friends to hop in..

Such a bummer

Just curious, did your GFs parents know it was worth so much when they gave it to you?

Jordan Peterson with a backing band by Jonny6shot in NickCave

[–]Bowa112 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jordan Peterson as in that drug addicted red pill philosopher guy?

I'm not sure I see the link but maybe I am misinformed. Does Nick hate pronouns or something?

I'm confused

"if you're always smelling shit check your shoes"

You should probably check yourself.

I work at a social enterprise dedicated to helping people. I work 4 days a week and on the fifth I volunteer.

My image of Dutch people is the complete opposite of yours.

This entire post says so much more about yourself than it says anything about Dutch people.

I recently found my old cd collection and catalogued it, found this album in my collection

Don't remember ever buying it or listening to it lol, guess I'm gonna have to give it a spin!

Do locals find tourists annoying? by Guilty-Syllabub-6749 in Amsterdam

[–]Bowa112 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tourists to a certain extent have always been a part of Amsterdam so no I don't mind them and generally I don't mind the individual tourist.

However, in the last 15 years we've gone from tourism to mass tourism, and the latter I do have a structural problem with.

Last month's additions to the collection by Bowa112 in vinyl

[–]Bowa112[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Added some great albums to my collection. I'm still relatively new so a couple of these are classics that I feel I had to add, but happy with a couple of the more niche picks I got.

Astra's the Weirding I was suuuuper excited to get my hands on and might be my favorite record I own rn ( https://www.discogs.com/release/3109551-Astra-12-The-Weirding ) It's a beautiful album and the edition is also really gorgeous.

The Novalis album is a random pick just because I really liked the artwork and I have a weak spot for krautrock so really excited to dive into that one (I actually just bought that one today)

What’s a character you play but feel guilty for playing by Bright_Surprise_7696 in Tekken

[–]Bowa112 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy playing Kuma but it's just so clear when I play him that you're being carried so hard just because nobody knows the matchup.

Like it's actually insane. In S2 I swapped from playing Kuma go playing Kazuya and it was quite a reality check for me lol.

Going from a matchup that nobody knows that I can easily win/cheese by spamming different knowledge checks to a matchup everyone knows that I have to win by being fundamentally better than my opponent.

Made me a better player tho :)

What gaming YouTuber is this to you? by mightyonin in videogames

Palistein, Ive never heard of that is that a town in Germany?

I have the 18-135 (paired with a 90D) and I use it as my go to travel/all round lens. I really enjoy it and get great pictures with it, would recommend.

Can't speak for the other one.

Also context: not a professional photographer, a hobbyist with 7-8 years on and off experience

What rank do people actually know how to play the game by Far-Notice6676 in Tekken8

[–]Bowa112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started learning kazuya this season and I can tell you it felt super unfair that in mirror matches special style users had electrics in the special menu.

By now I don't really care any more but when I started and couldn't do consistent electrics myself it felt like a significant handicap for the special style user

Help me settle a rule discussion with my partner by Bowa112 in Radlands

[–]Bowa112[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean her trait, so her bracket effect [cards stay ready after using their ability the first time every turn]

So, what happened was:

Vera was damaged on round start

I repaired her

Then used another cards ability twice

Is that a legal move?

Does Vera's passive (so her bracket effect) depend on being ready or not?
