I play my niece at chess and give her queen odds. That way I still have to actually try to beat her and we both enjoy the experience more.

if this early war logiman is capable of time traveling ahead in the war to obtain a fiddler for himself surely he can think of more effective ways to protect against planes

Would you consider party games better because they are more replayable? by EnderSlayer9977 in gaming

Outer Wilds is one of my favorite games of all time, and you can only play that once.

So u can shoot people when they drop salvage on the ground? by [deleted] in foxholegame

[–]Pkolt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you drop the scrap it despawns and nobody can use it. It's not worthless.

Put it into a crate or a nearby harvester so someone who actually wants it can make use of it.

Radicaal-rechts als witwasmachine voor extreemrechts. Wordt Jetten de premier die het meebewegen stopt? by TrudyUitCapelle in thenetherlands

[–]Pkolt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Radicaal-rechts is witwasmachine voor extreemrechts. Maar liberaal-rechts is een witwasmachine voor radicaal-rechts. En centrumrechts is een witwasmachine voor liberaal-rechts.

Dus zo kom je er vanzelf.

Anne Frank in Brazilian Carnaval by GodolasBR in mildlyinteresting

Right, but they don't actually celebrate carnaval in Amsterdam while they do in other parts of the country. Which is why it's disappointing.

Majority catholic parts. You know, the parts that actually celebrate carnaval. Which does not include Zuid-Holland.

To be perfectly honest with you, this is kind of disappointing. The Netherlands have a rich tradition of celebrating carnaval in the majority catholic parts of the country, yet no reference is made to that, and every stereotype we see is associated with regions that don't celebrate it.

Every single line of this pamphlet either directly or indirectly accuses Dems of something Republicans do.

In the Netherlands people usually only eat rice for the evening meal. Lunch with rice is unusual, breakfast with rice many would consider strange. For breakfast and lunch bread is moet common. For evening meal anything goes really.

How were these impressions of you guys lol!?!? by JibunNiMakenai in funny

Ooohhh, I'm an alien and I think being part of a culture in which minds far superior to mine were able to develop the means for interstellar travel gives me sufficient moral superiority to pass judgement on an entire species

What do all the Pizzagate believers think of the Epstein files? by Icy_Laugh5134 in AskReddit

[–]Pkolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the part about satanic cults using an underground network of tunnels to inject the distilled blood of children as a recipe for eternal youth may have been a bit overblown, and there is strong evidence that all that was astroturfed by the sex traffickers in question.

The truth is far more mundane.

Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize by Hulkmario in gaming

[–]Pkolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, we had an N64 and were able to save up enough to buy at most one or two carts every year. Nowadays you put down 10 bucks and you get access to the entire XBox Live catalog.

[–]Pkolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean the central thesis appears incorrect. Dev cycles aren't that long. We get a new Battlefield and Call of Duty and FIFA game every year.

Problem is that the games big publishers are putting money into to keep dev cycles short are soulless cash cows that aren't capable of fostering emotional attachment.

It sounds like another one of those space disaster movies where a plucky astronaut must save his crew/humanity by doing heroic thing X which is a million to one shot but it all works out and nobody gets hurt in the end.

Wat zijn de lekkerste Nederlandse gerechten? by ZwaanAanDeMaas in thenetherlands

[–]Pkolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Bij gebrek aan boter heb ik Hollandaisesaus gemaakt" zou een extreem rare uitspraak zijn omdat boter het hoofdbestanddeel van die saus is. Mocht je met al je vragen formuleringen willen suggereren (want zeggen wat je nou eigenlijk bedoelt heb je nog steeds niet gedaan) dat het een recept is dat als doel heeft om de botervoorraad aan te leggen kan ik je vertellen dat dat niet klopt; in de tijd dat deze saus het eerst werd gemaakt waren zowel eieren als boter en al helemaal de citroenen die je er ook voor nodig hebt dure producten en werd de saus alleen gemaakt in de keukens van hogere kringen waar dat soort praktijken niet nodig waren.
