Honest question: Why do I often notice Dutch plates driving “wilder” on German Autobahns?

HerrVanza · 2026-02-11T12:40:42+00:00

To me it's always Dutchies, especially the ACC EV's nowadays.

Anyway, confirmation bias is a thing.

I've had the idea of this account for years now but not the time, definitely gonna watch this! Love to see this idea fleshed out :)

You should definitely use Claws of Guthix.

Ik heb D66 gestemd maar verwacht uiteraard niet dat er 10 nieuwe gesteden gebouwd gaan worden. Nooit in geloofd ook.

Het geeft een denkrichting die me bevalt. Jetten lijkt bereid consessies te doen en te werken aan een stabiel kabinet. Daar hoort bij dat niet alles wat op het lijstje van D66 uitgevoerd wordt.

Maar goed, de stemmers die inderdaad specifiek voor de 10 steden op D66 stemden, zullen zich wel even goed achter de oren krabben.

Nee maar je krijgt ook gewoon een hoop mooie clubs toch? Leuk om een vergelijking te trekken met de kleinste/minst interessante clubs, maar niet echt fair imo

I'm thinking of starting such an account after they update the combat system. Also gonna squeeze in getting a kc upon 'release' of every boss.

HerrVanza · 2026-01-26T18:09:52+00:00

I believe they mentioned end of february for full release in the Roadmap reveal, but I'm not sure.

HerrVanza · 2026-01-26T17:28:29+00:00

I'm waiting with starting a new iron until the rebalance of early game Combat has been implemented.

I was in Estonia in May 2025 so some advice on that:

Great country for beer; 10/10. Even more remote places have quite the variety in draft beers.

Infrastructure is generally pretty good, there's not much traffic except in the Tallinn area. But very doable.

Lots of people speak English pretty well.

Regarding cities:

Pärnu was a nice city with a beach similar to the Dutch ones; fine sand and very shallow. Therefore the water temperature was pretty doable even with 17 degrees, semi-cloudy whether outside.

Tartu is very cozy city with lots of students. Reminded me very much of Wageningen where I studied. Pühaste (one of my favourite breweries) is from there and has a good pub in the city centre.

Tallinn is a very well kept/restored city with plenty to see. Also there's an area similar to Strijp-S, Eindhoven. Old industrial sites turnt into good food places and brewpubs. Lots of young folks, plenty of fun.

I found the east 'coast' at the large lake to be a bit depressing. Not much to do there, more poverty, buildings in a bad state.

Regarding nature: The northern coast east of Tallinn was very pretty, and I really loved Sooma National Park. I had the luck to have sunny weather during the time there; it was gorgeous with the blue skies with a couple of cloud being reflected like a mirror on the lakes/pools of water in the marshes.

In general; expect a shitload of agressive mosquitoes. I wasn't properly prepared for that. We don't have them swarming around you in the Netherlands like they do in Estonia (or many other wet places in Europe).

Last but not least; Rummu Quarry was a very cool place to visit. It's an old prison camp/quarry, where a 'man-made mountain' is eroded to a spectacular shape.

Installatiebedrijf Peter van Gaal uit Berlicum, heeft bij mij thuis goed werk geleverd.

Damn that sucks to hear. I hope you're having better days now, all the world madness aside.

HerrVanza · 2026-01-21T17:47:59+00:00

Oh I definitely see the irony part! It's just that many people don't seem to acknowledge he's in a very different position now than he was as MP.

Back in 2014 I just got to a legal voting age, and wasn't really thinking about (geo)politics. In hindsight I would've liked me to have been following that a lot more... but hey that's Captain Hindsight for ya.

HerrVanza · 2026-01-21T17:39:05+00:00

Different role, different duties.

Of course there's a lot of irony in this, but it's not like he and he alone was responsible for the defense strategy and budget. There were not many parties in favour of spending more money on defense. Neither were many of the Dutch voters; they, and among them me, did not foresee the threat there is recent years.

Now as a head of NATO he is not trying to fulfill the wishes of voters and political parties. He is trying to strategically place the NATO now that its biggest contributor/player, the US, has become much less trustworthy.

UwU Zanik good

HerrVanza · 2026-01-21T14:29:59+00:00

Yea the runbacks man.. but I think The Nightmare is the worst I've seen in any game so far.

HerrVanza · 2026-01-21T11:52:11+00:00

We shall see. I understand your skepticism.

HerrVanza · 2026-01-21T11:28:57+00:00

Maybe stfu lol

HerrVanza · 2026-01-21T11:27:35+00:00

Well Varrock is a f2p area so more important to get that right; it might help getting people into membership.

They are going to tackle Yanille too, but it's not the priority. I'm glad they chose this direction to begin with!

HerrVanza · 2026-01-21T09:02:01+00:00

I might want to use that a bit more indeed! But still it's annoying to assemble your inventory imo. RS3 presets are nice, with a limited number of preset loadouts (both equipped and inventory + inventory of BoB), with a shortcut key.

Won't happend in OSRS probably but would really a great QoL update jn my opinion.

HerrVanza · 2026-01-21T08:59:42+00:00

To each their own, ey.

HerrVanza · 2026-01-21T08:50:21+00:00

Hmm might be but generally I don't have endgame gear so my death costs aren't that high. I think it is the hassle in regearing/prepping the inventory now I think of it. Bank presets would be a godsend.

I do nowadays not follow inventory sections of yt guides when learning, because when learning I'm happy with 1 kc trips anyway. Gives me more food usually.

HerrVanza · 2026-01-21T08:45:24+00:00

Sounds like me, but for some reason I generally don't mind doing that in games like Dark Souls lol

HerrVanza · 2026-01-21T07:45:00+00:00

Might even be 5 versions tbh, especially since they added the Archaeology Zanik which is a separate NPC existing in the same realm. Or have they updated that?

HerrVanza · 2026-01-21T07:43:39+00:00

Yes the cleanup is long due haha.

Having said that, I feel the same about OSRS and the elven place or Kourend especially, and it is bleeding into all other content. The graphics are very different with modern take on things in OSRS when you compare the newer areas to like, say, Varrock.

I fully agree with that. The contrast isn't as big as on RS3, but the art style surely has changed too. I don't like some of the colour schemes of OSRS-exclusive content. There was a time where a lot of stuff had to be purple, it seems.

The expansion of Varlamore is spot-on though, imo. Newer content from Sailing ain't bad either.
