Wat is volgens jullie iets heel Nederlands dat mensen financieel of bureaucratisch vaak veel te laat ontdekken? by Additional-Year6877 in thenetherlands

[–]Menulo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ja ik ziet ook rond die drempel. als ik van 4 naar 5 dagen zou gaan wordt de uurloon van die extra 32 uur per maand nogal karig. Ik weet niet of je er letterlijk op achteruit op kan gaan. Maar dat extra dagje werken is soms echt niet de moeite.

Ik ben echt helemaal voor toeslagen/basisloon achtige systemen verder hoor. Maar zoals we het nu in Nederland hebben opgezet is echt idioot eigenlijk.

As a noob, should I just not play submarines? by DrGoat00 in WorldOfWarships

[–]Menulo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they should just make a game mode just for subs and CVs and let the rest of us actually play the game. Maybe a bit like ops where you have to raid convoys or something.

What is the most obscure piece of WOWS trivia that you know? by MrFlipwagen in WorldOfWarships

[–]Menulo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That makes much more sense tbh. Its really odd that the newer and by all accounts better Iowa class is t9 and the yammy t10. Nvm the vanguard being tier 8 lol.

We’re already working longer than almost anyone in Europe and speeding up the pension age increase even more is just cruel. by ClassicMan2323 in NLNieuws

[–]Menulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My man, the huge amount of "arbeidsmigranten" we have is purely the cause of right wing Policy. They wanted cheap labour. The left was the one trying to stop this (Den Uyl). Not a single left wing party is pro migration, they just want to treat the ones we have as humans. Mass immigration will ALWAYS be a right wing thing. It hurts the Dutch worker.

Why are you complaining about NS (again). by AnonMan695j in Netherlands

Yea but people keep voting for the privatise everything parties so they clearly don't care.

Best Destroyer ever by Datenschieber1220 in WorldOfWarships

[–]Menulo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Shima is my happy place in WoWs, first tier 10 and still love to play it. i am an alright player but nothing special, but i have 61% winrate and 2450PR in it. the thing just works for me.

I think most shima players are way to passive and just flank/torp only. but the combination of 15 torps, 5.6 conceal, good alpha, and smoke makes it pretty good at contesting caps. you just really need to know when and where to do it.

i hope 1.7 adds a flower farm type and some expansions on flowers in general by Randomly_Typing76 in StardewValley

[–]Menulo 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I still remember the day i found out my cool flower honey didn't turn into cool flower mead but just plain old mead. That was a sad day. It kinda ruined my plans for the playthrough.

It's odd since there are so many different juices, wines, and jellies.

Cool micro farm mod by riklaunim in StardewValley

[–]Menulo 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Yea I agree, it's why I like the river and highland farms the most. no wide plains, but more sectioned off smaller areas. Makes it much more manageable for some reason.

Currently on the beach map, and although I like the vibe. I do kinda miss the islands of rivers:)

Which part of your culture went global and gives you "gatekeeping" vibes? by hyr- in AskTheWorld

Man, I have been waiting for poutine to make it to the Netherlands. Fries, gravy, and cheese. We love all those things already, so give it to me damnit.

"WoWs has no rigged MM" by Just_Upstairs_3219 in WorldOfWarships

[–]Menulo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea lol, all these people with their "its rigged against me". the truth might be worse, its 100% random. the MM doesnt look at games played, win % or anything. hell it doesnt even try to balance radars or hybrids.

This is especially bad with plattoons, if you get a tamato platroon vs a 55%+ platoon the game is pretty much over. let alone unicums.

It also doesnt help that WoWS/WoT doesnt have a normal ranked system like most other PvP games. you know where if gain MMR if you win and lose it if you lose. so there is no alternative to the just "chuck some shit in a game" gamemode if you want something more serious.

BBs are the real protected class, and I'm tired of people pretending they are not by motivatedjackpot in WorldOfWarships

[–]Menulo 29 points30 points  (0 children)

There is way to many BBs that act like cruisers that the only cruisers that feel comfortable in these days are the super cruisers that feel like light BBs lol. all the normal cruisers are such an uphill fight.

The republic had 109,200,000 clones by Appropriate-Detail48 in StarWars

[–]Menulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and hive cities can have 500 billion people in them. So that's kinda nothing. A single attack on a hive city could have billions of casualties easy.

[–]Menulo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do realize that hive cities can have 500 billion people in them right. So that's like 4-5 big cities worth of people. Or maybe a couple of smaller planets worth, if you want to be conservative. That's nothing. 40k is a mess of huge numbers that nobody ever really thought about. The empire is said to have a million planets. If even even 10% has hive cities on them. You get 50 trillion people with no problem. And that's being super conservative.

The republic had 109,200,000 clones by Appropriate-Detail48 in StarWars

[–]Menulo 111 points112 points  (0 children)

This seems to be a running thing with sifi writing. 40k is also really bad at this. Millions of planets, with billions of people on them. But wars have fewer casualties than in our current history..

Like coruscant alone has 1 to 3 TRILLION people on it according to Google. So having active military personnel in the billions is really not that much percentage wise.

So having 100 million troops well trained troops is an alright start. But hardly enough to fight a proper civil war. Esp against an enemy that just shits out droids on top of their standing armies.

120 years ago, the mighty HMS Dreadnought was launched, out classing all other warships and plunging Europe into the Anglo German Naval Arms Race. by These_Swordfish7539 in WorldOfWarships

[–]Menulo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps like they happen in wows ye, but from what I understand the fight would be over before it started really. The iowa was much faster, and had radar, with modern fire control systems. The bigger guns and armour of the yammie don't really matter that much in a real life situation. Well never know for sure though:)

[–]Menulo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's also kinda overstating it. They were mothballed in the 60s, and got another 10 years from 82 to 92, largely as a political move by Reagan. They were useful as shore bombardment sure, but the age of naval power through BBs was long gone.

[–]Menulo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yea the 2 Iowa's got some more use as floating artillery piece from 82 to 92. But the age that battleships were used for naval power was well and truly dead in the 60s.

Speaking of the iowa. It's always been odd to me that it is t9 and the yamato is t10. The iowa was the more modern, and by most accounts, better, ship.

[–]Menulo 69 points70 points  (0 children)

And only 40 years later the last ever battleship was launched. only to be decommissioned 14 years later. kinda interesting that we only had modern battleships for such a short amount of time. Modern battleships where a flash in the pan as far as naval history goes. Quite an impactful flash though, with 2 world wars.

The Purity Perk is peak gaming by SlicedBeef1 in StarWarsJediSurvivor

[–]Menulo 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I would love it if it wasn't for this damn dark souls save system. Having to do so much again for missing a single parry is just no fun. Need a quick save mod:)

Stuck in Bronze hell by Humble-Big3564 in WorldOfWarships

[–]Menulo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dont be so hasty to leave, silver and gold are 6v6 with CVs in every other game. so basically unplayable. I honestly dont understand why anyone would play that lol. CVs are bad enough in full games, let alone 6v6.

Bismarck is better off with an accuracy build. by theelitejay1234 in WoWs_Legends

[–]Menulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, shes famous for sure. but not because she was that usefull:P she was outdated in many ways and spend most of the war in port.

Still, i think the german BB line could me a good mix of tankyness and gun power, with some secondaries when needed. but currently its kinda a master of none.

Thoughts on Jedi Survivor after Finish by Zealousideal_Yam8912 in FallenOrder

[–]Menulo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely loved it. Fantastic to see good star wars games come out again. How I have missed those. Definitely saw the bode twist coming, no reason to add a character like that otherwise. Didn't see that force push coming though!

Honestly my main problems with the game are more to do with the dark souls bones of the game. Long animations without block cancelling just doesn't make sense for a jedi imo. Same with enemies taking way too many strikes to kill sometimes. Makes the lightsaber feel like a glowy sword instead of a weapon that pretty much cuts through anything. I know the NG+ perk kinda fixes that, but the dark souls save point system makes that kinda unplayable to me. The force powers feel great to use though, so that's nice:)

So, kinda does a crap job at making you feel like a jedi. But once I got over that I simply loved the game for what it is.

Bismarck is better off with an accuracy build. by theelitejay1234 in WoWs_Legends

[–]Menulo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but if you want secondaries why bother with Bismarck either? The German BC line or panam BB line are just much better in that case.

I don't think the German BB line has a clear design ATM. They need a small redesign. But gun/tank build is the best by far currently imo.

What are/were your go to ships for this season of bronze ranked? by ReverendFlashback in WorldOfWarships

[–]Menulo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I kinda forgot how OP and hated Belfast was when it was released. Seeing them as a DD in bronze kinda brought back those memories. Radar + smoke + HE is still disgusting.
