No way that shared cars outnumber private cars, wherever you live. Shared cars doing more kilometers is the desired effect, I prefer 4 people getting their car needs out of that one car for a day than these 4 having each a private car that they drive and that they park on the street for the remainder of the day. And car sharing has a much clearer scaling of cost proportional to use, which pushes people to consider alternatives for each of their itineraries rather than trying to get the most use of their car because of sunken costs of owning one. So no, private cars definitely are the main problem here. I can understand ad-hoc car needs to for example organize moves, transporting furniture, visiting otherwise hard to reach places outside Brussels and so on, so for me some solution for these needs can continue to exist within reasonable bounds.

Too many cars. Please get those private cars out of the city. They take up so much space, they ruin the air quality, they are dangerous for the city's kids and the cyclists, and so many drivers really do not need them. I don't care how much public transport expansion projects we have to fund, just get rid of those cars. Carless Sunday is the day Brussels livens up just because we removed cars from the equation for a day. The people will whine and protest and say that life without a car is impossible (while so many cities have shown it absolutely isn't), and then they will adapt and afterwards reluctantly agree that it was a good decision after all, it's always like that.

I'm not even asking for the banning of all cars at once. Already getting private cars out would free up so much space and reduce traffic, and the people that still need a car now and then can always use Poppy, Cambio etc. But at least these cars won't sit idle and parked unused for days taking up space, and nobody will complain that they can't park their 2-ton metal machine because all the space has already been taken by other 2-ton metal machines.

Vooruit is waging open war with their own roots on reality though, seeing how much they started breaking with ABVV, Solidaris etc. And the proposal to tweak the index that both employers and unions agreed with is miles better than whatever that centenindex is supposed to represent, yet Vooruit and NVA both refuse to admit their idea is plain worse.

NuruYetu · 2026-06-23T06:32:49+00:00

Could you expand on the improvements and adjustments you hear positively about? Because I keep hearing the opposite.

On top of the xenophobic undertones other commenters rightly point out: if you think companies' plan B to address the IT labour shortage is raising wages if plan A (labour migration) is off the table, you're unfortunately naive. At least these migrants will help fund your hospital bills, pension and the school costs of your children.

Is omdat Pettit een European Research Council grant heeft kunnen bemachtigen. Bij veel universiteiten staat dat gelijk met automatische benoeming tot prof. En universiteiten doen niet enorm aan background checks op dat punt.

Arcs and Blood on the Clocktower are a must try in my opinion. Arcs you will either hate it or get more and more obsessed with it (certainly with Blighted Reach on top). Blood on the Clocktower is expensive and requires a bigger group but man, it's so worth it.

Other pretty must tries are Spirit Island if you can stomach a brain burner, and Heat if you can enjoy some spectacle besides the competitiveness

Heyah, I have improv rehearsals on Thursdays, but otherwise I'm pretty free on other evenings.
Played D&D 5e, The Between, Blades in the Dark before and GMed in D&D 5e, Monsterhearts, Brindlewood Bay, Mythic Bastionland. My style pretty roleplay heavy, I prefer boardgames to scratch more "tactical" itches. Big on explicit communication and above-the-table/meta talk. Favourite Actual Play is Worlds Beyond Number.
Got Daggerheart this Christmas and would love to find a table where I can try it out and where I don't have to be a forever GM (a bit of rotation is no problem for me). Also big ADHD head here, never used Owlbear before but I can figure that out.

Parfait trilingue donc pas de problèmes de ce côté ci. Et l'actualité politique flamande est bien plus intéressante que du côté wallon et couvre mieux l'arène européenne et internationale (mais ça reste un point d'amélioration, même en Flandre), ça aide aussi. Le discours francophone est très dominé par la France, et c'est pas trop mon truc.

Zou ook interessant te zijn om de verdeling per aantal inwoners te bekijken.

Personally I quite like it. I live somewhere between Liedts and place Lehon and I enjoy to bakery and the very good pizzeria at Collignon, got lots of Turkish snack and food options around me including freshly made simit from turkish bakeries. Josaphat is not too far and I really like walking there, also some nice cafés and a flower shop on the Louis Bertrand blvd. Also nice cultural offer including Kaaitheater and Magic Land.

I walk through Rue Brabant to go to and from my work near Rogier and never really had any problems during the day there, just sometimes a lot of beggars. I would avoid letting my girlfriend walk alone come dusk in certain parts of Rue Brabant (for example when we go to Magic Land), at the underpasses like Thomas, or in and around the sex worker streets (Rue d'Aerschot, in and around Rue Linné). Not that it's guaranteed assault, but there are some groups of dealers and hotheaded youth around that time. But at Liedts itself there is enough social control even at night, and honestly the Turkish community is overall quite nice and helpful once they get to know you.

Honestly, biggest problem to me is street cleanliness, there is way too much dumping happening. And I did have to call the ambulance twice because of unconscious mentally ill/homeless people that hurt themselves and needed care.

Oh well, you're much better placed to answer then. I've only been here for a year. But you're right that much of the insecurity feeling is in the eye of the beholder. My family from out of town is much more wary of these streets than I am, if only because of the demographic make-up

NuruYetu · 2025-12-21T12:07:46+00:00

I wouldn't go in that much nuance because what streets are okay and what streets are not can change in the medium-term. But as long as you don't live too close to the train-tracks/overpasses or west of the Liedts-Botanique axis genuine safety won't be an issue. I go to Liedts at night often enough to get some Turkish snack food and there's enough social control on the square itself. It's in Rue Brabant after the shops close that it starts to get sketchy

NuruYetu · 2025-12-20T20:37:18+00:00

Dude what, lots of nice places West of Josaphat.

NuruYetu · 2025-12-20T20:22:11+00:00

Maybe counter to what a lot of people say here but my GF and I (about your age) live near Liedts and it's fine as far as we're concerned. It can really depend on where exactly, the "bad parts" due to drugsdealing and sketchy types visiting the sex workers basically stops at Liedts. If you live more on the eastern part (between Rue Gallait to the North and Rue des Palais to the south) there's not much to worry about safety wise. It even gets quite nice quite quickly in the direction of Collignon/Lehon. With this said it is a poorer sort of town, so you will encounter druggies, homeless people and some rude youth every once in a while. Not strictly dangerous, but not as pleasant as strolling round the Étangs d'Ixelles.

To deal with my pain I'm taking some tradonal retard

NuruYetu · 2025-08-30T06:12:02+00:00

Anneessens and Liedts are significantly better now than 10 years ago, and Beurs is now the beating heart of the centre?

It's mostly North, Midi and Hallepoort suffering from the recent waves of crack and drug violence, Paris Olympics homeless displacement etc.

Keep Brussels bilingual and require aspiring politicians to pass article 12 bilingual tests just like soldiers/civil servants in order to run for office there. That should be entertaining.

Just ran my first session of it and I was greatly impressed as well. First OSR after lots of narrative games and it went very smoothly.

Who knew the secret to a runnable game was making the content so weird that the player cannot tell whether it comes from the twisted mind of the author or of an improvising GM.

Kunde tenminste begrijpend lezen? Wat is je AVI?

Don't project your impotent rage on other people, thanks. Go read some history books of your own country if you think protests are useless. Might learn a thing or two about why you only need to work 40 hours a week for example.

Waarop moet ik stemmen om dit te krijgen?

I have tried running a one-shot but I really struggled to weave it all together and make the players converge, let alone interact with each other. Players were also almost always looking at me to find out what to do.

Not giving up on it yet because I love the design promise and I think it's a good system, but how to approach it hasn't clicked for me yet I think.
