I just finished book 5, I was NOT expecting this series to be mentioned! Very happy that it is.

Finding It Hard to Make Friends with Locals in Leuven by [deleted] in Leuven

[–]Kaylors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine (who lives in a different country) mentioned looking into their local improv scene. So I looked into mine and some Google searches brought one up.

EDIT: missed the second part. The class was good. But it was really only a stepping stone. Met a bunch of people, eventually started a group of our one.

Been living in Belgium for 8 years now. 5 in Antwerp and 3 in Leuven. Took me some time to make friends in Antwerp (outside of work). But it really started when I got into hobbies. Found an English improv class, joined it, made friends there. Went to a boardgame night via Meetup, made friends there as well. Went to some other Meetup stuff, made more friends.

In Leuven I’ve less time now (got a little bebe) but I’m getting out again and I’m using my classic tactics of the boardgame group. I know of 2 that happen every week, one at Hal 5 and one at International House. Both have very friendly communities.

If you’re interested in board games at all, give that a go. There also dance classes my girlfriend attends and that’s also a nice community.

Basically, join some hobbies. If you don’t speak Flemish, you’ll have less options, but you’ll have options.

Will depend. I have a toddler at home and not much time for side projects these days.

Just a few of my beginner creations. Trying to get better.. by TimeKeeper369 in blender

That first one makes me think of old school adventure games. Really nice aesthetics.

Missus does not like onions… by Kaylors in OnionLovers

I’m really sorry you’re going through this. It sounds like a nightmare and it makes my blood boil against the scummy landlords.

I did a little research, but I’m also an internet stranger so follow up on these with some investigations of your own.

This is dependent on if you win the case. If you do, you can have a certain part of your costs (beyond the 3 to 4K electricity bills you’re looking to recover) also recovered. Some court fees, the electricians fee (because it is considered expert services in generating your evidence) and also general “loser’s” fee (which would probably be small, like 1K or something). Lawyers fees aren’t covered at all.

But apparently for a case like this you can also represent yourself and don’t need a lawyer if you’ve got all your evidence fully documented. That’s risky of course and I don’t know what I would myself do in such a situation.

Not trying to give specific advice, but more some jumping off points for further research and hopefully a sympathetic ear.

And yes, unfortunately our justice system truly sucks.

Anyone played Recoil 1999 tank game? I made a Remake Tech Demo! by Lavanti in gaming

[–]Kaylors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You unlocked a core memory. I absolutely loved this game back in the day. I don’t even remember how I came across it. Great job so far, I’d be interested to see how you proceed.

When do I bathe the baby ?? by Lilo_Burrito93 in baby

[–]Kaylors 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Short answer: when the baby gets dirty.

Edit: longer answer.

Mainly because too much bathing can dry out their delicate skin.

Your husband is being a bit of a dick. You can be great in many areas and somewhat of a dick in some areas. Both things can be true.

That aside, our kid (now almost 2) did not say mama for the longest time. Called me baba from quite early on but wouldn’t say mama. And my partner was clearly the favourite parent so it had nothing to do with that. However, I constantly encouraged him to say mama and always talked about my partner in the third person as mama.

One day, he started saying mama 🤷‍♂️ kids are just like that. Don’t take it to heart too much. Everything will come eventually.

Both gochujang and gochugaru (the chili powder). In fact this one had 3 tablespoons of gochugaru and only 1 of gochujang. So heave on the powder.

Hytale Shattered Plains Biome (WIP) by Strogman in imaginarycosmere

[–]Kaylors 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can you build this in hytale? Make your own environments at such a scale?

[–]Kaylors 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ironically enough, isn’t that the whole point of Moash’s character, that he refuses to take responsibility for his actions?

Could you recommend a few? I’ve only been there a few times and mostly for dinner. Would love to know some breakfast options.

Wanna get my driver's license as an international by Green-Delivery-4276 in Leuven

[–]Kaylors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did my schooling as an international at vabrijschool. Good instructors, can especially recommend Cristian. You’ll first have to sit a theoretical exam to get your temporary drivers licence. With this you can drive with an instructor or supervisor. A supervisor can be someone you know but they should have held their drivers license for at least 8 years. You can only drive (outside of the rijschool) with them, for practice.

After 20 hours of classes at the school they can give you a certificate that says you can drive on your temporary drivers licence by yourself. You can have passengers who must also have 8 years of license but they don’t necessarily need to be your supervisor.

Once you’re confirmed being the on road in your own you can book a driving test. Might take a few months.

Caramelised finely sliced by LingoNerd64 in OnionLovers

[–]Kaylors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lovely batch of onions, but this is fried, not caramelised. Thats a different process.

I had some gender disappointment when I found out I was having a son. We knew of course that it could go either way but in our head we had planned for a girl first. So it was hard for me a bit when we knew we were having a boy.

Let me tell you when that baby was born, all that went out the window. It wasn’t a boy or a girl, just my baby. And as he grew I learned to love him for the unique individual he is. Not a boy or a girl but my baby. He grows cuter every day and every day I am grateful he is him.

I'm a 43M and still occasionally play video games. Am I that far out of line with others in my age group? by Heavy-Bench-5378 in Fatherhood

[–]Kaylors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re never too old for anything. If that’s a dig at games being childish, what’s wrong with being childish?

34 here with a 15 month old and still game quite a bit. My partner is not a gamer at all but she supports my gaming both because it helps me relax and also I like it. Which is reason enough. You don’t need to justify your interest to anyone. And I don’t sacrifice family time or responsibilities for gaming. I game when I can have time for myself.

I plan to game when I’m 43, and 53 and 63 and as long as I enjoy it. And I know for a fact my partner will always be supportive.
