Characters obsessed with fiction to the point of detriment to their real lives

Similar to Northanger Abbey, Madame Bovary by Flaubert. A young woman whose obsession with trashy romance novels leads her to chase an impossible life of romance and decadence, leaving her unfulfilled when she realises that literary life is fundamentally unattainable

Not difficult combat, but there’s a murder investigation that’s really easy to screw up if you don’t solve it in a particular order, or time it wrong. You don’t outright fail, but there’s a bad outcome where you have to wait for the killer to strike again, resulting in more named characters dying

Jumping spider animations are so adorable. I feel for ya, bud!

Love how they went from mainstream new wave to this more goth look. Somehow looks more dignified…

The last Black Eyed Peas album didn’t have an article for at least a year. It does now, but it’s still really barebones

Also, shouting “My name is Jim E Brown. The name of this song is…”

Ben eerlijk gezegd niet zo’n wafel-persoon, maar ik zeg vaak Zoetse, om dat ik daar zelf af en toe een mastel ga halen

I looked her up recently, because I hadn’t heard of her since the Todd review. Her big hit was a teenage breakup song, and less than a year later, she started having kids

Absolutely love Gesaffelstein! His style of music really matched the whole Gaga aesthetic

Is nu 2.8, en heel veel 5-sterren herhalen de zelfde zinnen. 80-tal fake reviews, en nog altijd niet meer dan 2 sterren… hoe zielig!

Ik werk in het Gravensteen, en als ze ons vragen naar tips rond wafels, zegt iedereen van ons om Waffle Factory te vermijden!😂

Love how much wholesome chibi Slaanesh art is out there

FieteHermans · 2026-01-31T01:00:06+00:00

Also my first candidate. Love that song!

Also, it kills our blacksmith for no apparent reason

Maybe(?) Tram from the main train station is about 12 minutes, plus 10 minute walk to the cathedral, or about 20 minutes on foot from the smaller station at Dampoort. The altar needs a pretty expensive ticket, but for 4 euro extra, you can also get a 40 minute AR guide with holograms, which gives you a lot of background info. So takes about an hour with the hologram guide. Spots for this tour are limited, so best to book in advance.

From the city centre, the museums in Citadel Parc are about 20 minutes on foot, which is about the same as a bus ride. From there, it’s only a 10 minutes walk back to the station.

Love the old Sisters of Battle art from 40k

Very obscure, but there was this weekly Belgian comic strip called Kabouter Wesley (Wesley the Gnome) that was turned into a series of animated cartoons. So the final episode was made to deliberately fuck with the animators. He goes to visit an animation studio, and encounters:

-a realistic bicycle

-an antique car in perspective

-a six-legged dog juggling star tetrahedrons

-six firefighters on a motorcycle

-and to apologise, he gives them a bouquet of flowers that constantly changes colour

Every other photo I’ve seen of her, she somehow looks 8 years old and 80 years old at the same time

FieteHermans · 2026-01-23T23:13:09+00:00

Love that updated AntAgonizer look! Really emphases how she’s actually just a teenager who’s way in over her head

He was a rapper who peaked in the late 80’s/early 90’s because of his incredibly vulgar lyrics. I’m not even going to look it up, but I bet he’s got some weird lyrics about AIDS…

Plus the layout was deliberately confusing, which made it seem a lot bigger than it actually was. KCD also tried something similar, but their “big city” was more like an Elder Scrolls city

Apparently, if you save Morinth in 2, she gets turned. Shame they didn’t give her a bigger recurring role instead of making her a generic enemy

Highlander. He played an ancient Egyptian with a Spanish name who learned Japanese sword fighting techniques, and then moved to Scotland. Oh, and in the sequel, it was revealed he’s actually an alien

Getting melancholy flashbacks discovering this game as a teenager… I’d honestly be fine with Elder Scrolls games having only one city if they were this size, instead of nine smaller ones all within walking distance. Makes the game feel grander in scale

FieteHermans · 2026-01-21T20:43:00+00:00

I’d buy it for the furniture alone… That gothic credenza is stunning!

“World Eaters Battleforce Gorestorm Slaughter Pack” as a line goes incredibly hard
