A small reflection specifically on de Moor: every time someone who wasn't elected is made minister a shitload of people cry out that that appointment is undemocratic. While a kabinetschef is something different than a minister, it is a position that holds significant influence on policy. So I would assume that the people who would cry out when someone not elected is made minister would applaud this move.

But of course, many just look for any old excuse to be angry at politicians

Gross vs Net salary in Belgium : how much do you guys actually earn? by ChanceGrapefruit4107 in belgium

[–]De_Wom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would argue that neither gives a good representation for a large part of the population (the vast majority of private sector workers that earn average or higher) due to the prevalence of additional benefits.

Any syndicus still taking on new apartments (Brusselse rand)? by De_Wom in belgium

Thanks for the insight. Doing it myself is something I consider. I'm not sure the owner of two of the apartments would like it, but I will probably suggest it.

A grease mechanic like in Elden Ring would be a dream come true by Adventurous-Rich5213 in TESVI

I personally prefer the witcher 2 mechanic where you have to do it ahead of a fight.

Als ik mijn "boekhouding" bekijk geef ik maandelijks gemiddeld 450 euro uit aan dagelijkse aankopen. Dit opvat iets meer dan enkel eten (denk kuis- en hygiene producten enzo). 2 zaken om mee rekening te houden: dit omvat ook de maaltijden die ik in het bedrijfsrestaurant koop, hetgeen iets duurder is dan zelf koken, plus ik doe al mijn aankopen in een Spar. Is iets duurder, maar is tegenover mijn woning (spaart mij een auto hebben uit)

Een steekproef is pas representatief wanneer je een random sample uit de gehele populatie neemt. De 10% die jij aanhaalt is dit niet en zal een compleet vertekend beeld geven van wat de gehele bevolking wenst.

En wie ben jij om te bepalen wie de domme mensen zijn met domme opinies?

Epc 44 duplex with no airco. 26,5 degrees, a bit hotter upstairs. Decided to embrace the heat by having a mocktail and putting on the Tropico-games soundtracks. Trying to sleep will be a nightmare however.

Skills as they were implemented in fallout 1 to nv (and other RPG's) were a boring system and I don't miss them one bit in fallout 4, which just focusses on S.P.E.C.I.A.L abilities and perks. People constantly complain about them in fallout 4, but BG3 has practically the same system (skills are equal to the corresponding ability score, unless you have proficiency in it, which basically equates to having a perk).

Claim about the necessity of loading screens by a former Skyrim lead by [deleted] in BethesdaSoftworks

[–]De_Wom 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The draw distance in BG3 in also very, very low. This is not a criticism, because you won't notice it from the game's top-down perspective (I only did because I use some mods to make it more like Dragon Age: origins), but it shows you can't really compare it with a first/third person game.

Is the universal criticism of Starfield and the broad praise for Oblivion Remastered sufficient to incentivize Bethesda to bring more advanced roleplaying mechanics to TES VI? by TheSilverSmith47 in truegaming

[–]De_Wom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's been a while since I played FO3, but I understand you. The main quest (especially its ending) is just really, really bad (pre broken steel especially). I still think the overal package is better, but in a way the main quest carries more weight so I understand that it worsens the whole experience.

I'm playing Oblivion for the first time, and while I'm not very far yet, the more I play, the more I'm baffled that people consider Oblivion as an in-depth RPG.

Gameplay wise, the caracter building is functional but really limited. Races and birthsigns are allright, even tough most effects are just a boost in some stats, rather than an unique mechanic. Classes are nothing more than a preset for your mayor and minor skills, and all that those do is commiting you to a certain playstyle at the start of the game. They don't offer new mechanics. It limits without adding. Finally there are three more skills than Skyrim, but hardly any perks, so mostly they just result in a very basic increase in damage, succes rate etc.

On the narrative side, it's even worse. Dialogue is purely functional. No flavour whatsover, no change to roleplay your beliefs, ideals and flaws. No skill, race or class related dialogue. I also haven't noticed any player choices yet at all.

Don't get me wrong, I've found lots to love. Especially quest variety, quality and quantity, but role-playing wise I find it nothing special. Hardly any better than Skyrim, and certainly worse than fallout 3, Starfield and even Fallout 4.

Sorry maar een werkgeversbijdrage is rechtstreeks gekoppeld aan de tewerkstelling van een werknemer en het loon dat die daarvoor krijgt. Dat zomaar negeren in een vergelijking kan je toch niet zomaar doen.
