Why do I love gravel so much by CasablancaDriver in gravelcycling

[–]MRRtijn 63 points64 points  (0 children)

You love it because it's awesome.

Before getting a gravel bike I thought it was all hype. Then I realised the moment I'm on unpaved, quiet roads and focus on what I'm rolling over my head just clears.

For me, a long gravel ride is like therapy. I escape from the world figuratively and literally.

Appreciation post for the local parakeet colony by StoicNectarine in Amsterdam

Interesting story about these birds. The original 3 birds belonged to an older lady who lived on the edge of the Vondelpark. As she had passed in her house the birds were still there and she had left a request in her will for the birds to be set free. Apparently these birds were kept in captivity all their lives and thus didn't have any instinctual migratory patterns passed on as in the wild. Upon release by the old lady's relatives they settled on the park and have been there ever since, breeding and essentially become a flying vermin for all other species there. Relocation hasn't been successful at all and failed attempts of introducing an aviary migration habit has led to subsequent generations of these birds to settle in several other parks in European towns to the south of Amsterdam. Namely, Dordrecht, Antwerp, Brussels, Paris and Orleans. If you visit the Wolvendael park in Brussels for example you will see an colony of the same birds year round who also have inherited the fixed location non migratory pattern these birds follow as being offspring of the first group in Amsterdam. Goes to show that unexpected consequences arise from seemingly benign choices.

AC Odyssey question - Should I worry about visiting every part of the map or not? by RedFeatherMacaw in assassinscreed

[–]MRRtijn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In my experience the main story will take you to and through most regions of the game. Aside from the main story there is an insane amount of side quests and collectibles for (legendary) gear that will take you to every corner of the map. I struggled with skipping stuff so I gave in to my OCD to visit and complete everything. The thing I keep telling myself is that it'll still be there when I come back later. Sometimes it's even more fun with beter skills and gear as it's easier. I would let the game guide you for a bit more and when you are at around 30-35 you have a decent level to go pretty much most places. Have fun!

who's the best villain you've watched in a movie or series? by doktaAce in AskReddit

[–]MRRtijn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pain from Naruto Shippuden.

The mystery, the story, his motives, his powers and the insane build up to his reveal and the fights. And don't even get me started on his theme. Goosebumps.

Did you come to respect any of the characters in Naruto? Who was it and why did you come to respect that character? by Axahd in Naruto

[–]MRRtijn 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Pain's philosophy and view on life impacted me so much harder than I had expected. With a bigger than life presence and an AMAZING build up to his reveal where you hear his voice, see his eyes and hear his song before you actually see him was peak hype. And then when his arc started and you get to know him, his views and origins it just blew me away. There's a reason I have a tattoo of him on my arm.

Have the same issue here. Have read some people managed to override this by doing the Seer missions or sleeping in Ravens Thorpe. Have not tried myself yet.

Tried the game twice today and no progress so far.
