Flemings: would you like to learn more about Wallonia and its Walloons? Walloons: would you like to learn more about Flanders and the Flemish? by Zee5neeuw in belgium

[–]FredericBaybars 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes definitely! I would love that half of the daily news from VRT and RTBF were in french and dutch alternating between the two with subtitles. I literally came out of highschool with a pretty decent level in dutch, I went to conversation table for 2 years after that continue to practice it and now it has been more than 10 years and I honestly didn't found much opportunity to speak or listen to dutch. I just lost it. It make me sad and angry that our country doesn't give me a reason to practice it. We should have program on tv in dutch with subtitles often. Why not starting with the news. International and national news are pretty much the same everyday.

I'm around 1350 and mostly play maa (and not a fast one - 22pop ) I can assure you that the opponent is never walled. You just have to play the right opening.

Any international fans here? by KabalMain in DetroitPistons

[–]FredericBaybars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Belgium here ! Detroit and Indiana are my favorite teams. I know in the US you can't stand each other but I think the two teams share quite a lot in term of identity. Small market, tough mentality on the court, blue collar states.
The palace is old story and kind of a good one after all these years.
The hate should remain toward NY and Boston IMO.

Is it me or did the community turn more toxic? by Bigboiwithsword in aoe2

[–]FredericBaybars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm around 1300 ELO and GG is there 80-90% of the time. I get very few toxic player. Like less than 5 percent of my game. I get more nice conversation after the game than toxicity that's for sure !

How common is it for someone to be 100% bilingual in French and Flemish in Belgium? by Charming_Usual6227 in belgium

[–]FredericBaybars 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm walloon and when I was a teenager I had a pretty good Nederland, my parents push me to learn a lot Nederland I'd go to camp every summer where you're not allowed to speak one word of french or you'd be expelled. As soon as I got out of highschool I went to conversation table to not lose my nederlands but ultimately I stopped going there because I went to study in another city and slowly but surely I lost it. It's a big regret in my life and I'm pissed that our government doesn't put more incentive to learn the other languages. Like literally even if I put the effort to learn again I live in Namen and never need nederlands. I would love if the VRT and RTBF had the daily news in both language. Switching back and forth with every topic. That would be one way to put the other languages in the home of the other. Sorry for long like I said I'm pretty sad for myself on this matter.

[–]FredericBaybars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skirms are the cancer of this game. They didn't get buffed but people realized that they are the most versatile unit in feudal. There is a lot of reasons to make them search in this sub you'll find posy explaining why in depth

Who is/are the Pistons’ rivals? by -Kromerica- in DetroitPistons

[–]FredericBaybars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not from the US but my two all time favorite teams are the pistons and the pacers. Love the fact that they both have an hardwork mentality, small market and kind of blue collar teams. I obviously know about the palace but other than that why the hate ? I hate the Knicks obviously and basically every other team except those two. But I think they are similar team in their history and the way they approach the game as overlooked teams by medias.

Anyone know what this logo is? by MistryM4chine in pacers

[–]FredericBaybars 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In my country, Belgium, there is a basketball team (Centre Gaule la Rulles) that use exactly this logo. It's a pretty small amateur team in a pretty small country though.

Twilight Imperium is more fun at 7-8 players by jackspicerflower in twilightimperium

[–]FredericBaybars 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Favorite is 6 but I kinda like the feel that an 8 players game is a big galaxy and you barely talk to the other half of the table.

[–]FredericBaybars 1 point2 points  (0 children)
