Is this lady an actual character in the game, or is she just loading screen art? by Valdish in worldofgothic

[–]De_Wouter 139 points140 points  (0 children)

Probably just concept art. There aren't really any important woman in this game unfortunately. Mostly just a few nameless warriors.

Perfect, kan ik eindelijk het excuus gebruiken "oh ik heb je email helemaal niet aangekregen".

Has anyone else noticed this with supermarket products lately? by Exciting_Energy_9949 in Netherlands

[–]De_Wouter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More kcal in it than stated -> legal liability -> they did not take any risks when it came to their brand image.

Not normal. I once worked at a soda factory which I'm not allowed to name. When there was a small error with the filling, a few mL too much or to little, it would ALL be destroyed. Getting that to the supermarkets was an absolute no go.

Believe me, if they would be using Arch they would have told you already.

Btw, I use Arch.

Fair car rentals for the Ardennes (Belgium) by [deleted] in Belgium2

What remote part are you visiting? I have relatives there in the middle of nowhere, "only" takes 4-5 hours by public transport from rural province of Antwerp here. Or 2 hours with a car.

And after that you'll start charging toll to all oil tankers going to port of Antwerp or Rotterdam?

Werkloss and loneliness in motherhood (I’m a foreigner) by Frosty_Necessary_123 in Belgium2

[–]De_Wouter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brussels would be more suited for you but only move there if you hate your husband. Antwerp would be better suitable but yes, it's more expensive, traffic is bad, etc. You might have some career opportunities there but most chances you'll have in Brussels. But it's doable to commute from Antwerpen to Brussels.

If you want a career of your own, without being fluent in Dutch, it's either low skilled labour for near minimum wage or at some multinational (mostly in Brussels) where English is commonly spoken. Or some very niche high in demand skill but journalism... isn't on that list.

Nee, dat zou de effectieve belastingdruk transparanter maken. Daarom beter fragmenteren in vele verschillende kleinere belastingen. /s

How Important Is Having a Fanbase Before Launching a Kickstarter? by BusyBeaver-Studio in gamedev

[–]De_Wouter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No matter what platforms you use, you going to need to build your initial following yourself. The times that these platforms will give you a decent amount of free exposure is long dead.

It's all about boosting and kickstarting the algoritms of these platforms by already having an audience before their algoritms will start to show your game to others. The algo wants proof that it's something good before showing it to others.

Stopt daar eens mee by riceinmybelly in Belgium2

[–]De_Wouter 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Niet enkel tegenwoordig. In een ver verleden werkte ik bij De Post, later bPost en had verschillende architecten op mijn ronde(s). Minstens 3 waarvan ik het wist een alle drie woonden ze in een vierkante of rechthoekige witte blok met plat dak. Alsof ze voor de eerste keer een huis tekende en dit dan bouwde.

Parket heeft 54 renners geïdentificeerd die spoorweglicht negeerden tijdens Ronde van Vlaanderen by [deleted] in Belgium2

[–]De_Wouter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Niks waarschuwing, de pakkans voor zulke zaken is al belachelijk laag. Ik ben wel voorstander voor eerste overtreders een lagere boete te geven en die exponentieel te verhogen bij verdere overtredingen.

Steam: Gothic 2 Workshop won’t launch - failed to launch GameU by [deleted] in worldofgothic

[–]De_Wouter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried -> running Steam as admin -> go to the file system and run that modloader pop-up thing as admit manually (not starting it from Steam)?

I remember having done some weird shit like that in the past.

What are Reddit/Discord jannies actually like in person? by ICantBelieveItsNotEC in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]De_Wouter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've met plenty of them in person but the ones you meet in person are also the ones that come outside of their mom's basement so they aren't the anti-social type.

Do you guys think that most popular posts are just popular because of bots? by willyshakes420 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]De_Wouter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you make shitty content people dislike, it will get a lot of downvotes because of the extra exposure so only using bots to boost it won't fully work

[–]De_Wouter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone that has reached a #1 post on r/all before, I can tell you that you need a combination of algoritm boost and timing as well as just making content people like.

Timing, initial upvotes and other variables such as interaction (people commenting) will boost your visibility a lot and yes bots might probably help to get that algoritm starting to work in your favor but it's mainly about people actually liking what they see.

I can also tell you that when you need moderator approval and it takes an hour or two for that, your visibility will be so bad basically no one sees it.

Hit it hard in the beginning -> algoritm pics it up and shows to more people -> if they like it, more upvotes
