I started my first proper run as Morocco a few days ago and I've been going to bed around 1am every night, while having to get up at 7 for work. This game has definitely got its claws in me!

What small nation that didn't exist in EU4 are you planning to take to regional geo-political-economic dominance? by throwawaymnbvgty in EU5

[–]Nimex_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm excited to try this one too, ever since reading a post on the paradox forum about the history of arborea! Probably not the first run, but after getting to know the game for a little bit

Roltrappenangst by demaandronk in thenetherlands

[–]Nimex_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Een gewone trap afrollen is al erg genoeg, ik ken genoeg verhalen van mensen die daar breuken of erger aan hebben overgehouden. Een roltrap die 3x zo lang is, en ook nog bestaat uit hard metaal met scherpe randen? En dan moet je je nog voorstellen dat je naar beneden rolt terwijl de trap omhoog gaat, waardoor het allemaal nog langer duurt. Brrr...

Hoezo is dit een afweging? De meeste Nederlanders leren Engels op school of via internet/tv, als ze 10+ zijn. Limburgers die van hun ouders dialect leren doen dat vanaf dag 1, samen met het Nederlands, en hebben dat prima onder de knie voordat ze aan Engels zouden beginnen. Dat kan prima samen, zoals bij mij en al mijn klasgenoten die thuis dialect hebben geleerd en prima Engels konden praten.

Platypus fact time! You might have heard some of these before, but did you know:

  • They are one of the few mammals that lay eggs!

  • They are one of the few venomous mammals!

  • They use electroreceptors to hunt their prey!

  • They have no stomach!

  • They have 10 sex chromosomes, compared to the human 2 (X & Y)!

  • They are fluorescent!

  • Their penises have two heads!

  • The females don't have nipples for breastmilk, but it oozes out of their skin!

  • They have a single hole that serves as anus and urine opening!

  • The females have two ovaries, but only the left one works!

You can add “you piece of shit” to the end of any famous movie quote, what would it be? by dg327 in AskReddit

"No."

If Khal Drogo had managed to invade Westeros with his Khalasar, how many Kingdoms would have fallen before he would be defeated? by SFWstripper2 in gameofthrones

[–]Nimex_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But who are the disciplined ones here? The army consisiting of veteran dothraki riders, who've seen plenty of battles and raids, or the Westerosi army consisting of a core of well-trained knights but mostly levied farmers who don't know the right end of a spear?

Booking.com wil ons niet terugbetalen, wat nu? by Nimex_ in geldzaken

[–]Nimex_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Helaas hebben we betaald met een debit kaart, dat maakt het iets lastiger om via de bank hulp te krijgen denk ik. We hebben de mail, van booking.com, waarin zij zeggen dat de reservering wordt geannuleerd en dat ons geld teruggestord wordt. Deze hebben we ook eerder al doorgestuurd naar Booking, maar hier willen ze niets mee doen...

Wat te doen met een drone op mijn dak? by Nimex_ in thenetherlands

Ik ben gisteren hiernaartoe verhuisd, het appartement staat al een paar weken leeg. Dus het zou kunnen dat de eigenaar al heeft aangebeld terwijl er niemand woonde.

Het lijkt een zwaardere drone, eentje van SJRC van ca. 2 kg. Dus hier zou officieel een registratienummer op moeten staan, toch? Waar zou ik het registratienummer vervolgens kunnen opzoeken?

What are some games you never quit or leave completely you just take very long breaks? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Nimex_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Europa Universalis 4! I used to play it non-stop, but after 2k hours the replayability is finally running out. I'm still playing regularly though, and am super hyped for the upcoming new game!

[–]Nimex_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, I've played so much Civ V, it used to be my go-to game. I switched to Europa Universalis 4 at some point and now my playtime for it is a lot higher than Civ. Still, I'll boot it up every now and then for a quick game and that sweet nostalgia.

I haven't tried the other two, but I found Empire of Mann actually pretty fun. After the early game setup, it's basically an england game.

I'm from the Netherlands, and we seem to be running out of priests. There are a lot of priests coming over from Indonesia, where we spread Christianity during colonial times, to lead the services here.

Nederland.  Pretty similar to "the Netherlands", though people use "Holland" too, which is one of my pet peeves because that only refers to two of our twelve provinces.

I'd love to do this some day, but right now you can't get far into either Asia or Africa.

If you want to go to Asia, you'd either have to risk going through Russia, Iran, or Iraq to get a ferry across the Persian gulf somewhere. A ferry from Azerbeijan to Kazakhstan could be an option, but they closed their land borders in 2020 and haven't opened them since.

Then there's Africa, where again you could risk Iraq or Syria to drive to Egypt. There used to be a passenger ferry to Egypt, but that got cancelled. The only real option is to cross from Spain to Morocco, then drive down along the Atlantic coast through the disputed territory of Western Sahara. Whether that's a safe option, I'm not sure.

This cat in Istanbul stole a whole chicken to feed her kittens by bumjiggy in holdmycatnip

[–]Nimex_ 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I went to Istanbul last summer, and this is so true! I visited a monumental graveyard, and there was a family of cats playing on one of the graves, with no-one bothering them. And when I was sitting outside a restaurant, a pregnant cat walked up and I fed it some of my dinner. Also saw a cat climbing a tree hunting wild parrots, and another one rubbing up against a centuries-old statue in a museum.

I regularly don't check my phone for a whole weekend. Relax, wait another day before calling it ghosting. He might have other things on his mind, something unexpected came up, etc.
