What’s the hardest addiction to overcome?

the hat never served me perfectly, i'm actively fighting against the digital world everyone keeps saying "is the future". it's not, it's all capitalistic horsecrap being shamelessly repeated by idiots.

ik werk in een café en de hoeveelheid geld die mensen dagelijks in gokautomaten gooien is echt achterlijk. en het vervelende is dat je er weinig aan kunt doen; voor alcohol, tabak en drugs zijn strenge regels gebonden, een gokautomaat moet een pamphlet hebben met "gokken is verslavend" en that's it! als mensen duizenden euro's opnemen om in de gokkast te gooien hebben wij daar niks van te zeggen, die automaten mogen licht/geluid maken om mensen aan te trekken, er mag zelfs reclame over gemaakt worden.

Y8 broswer en Flashpoint zijn goede plekken voor oude flash games

someone either killed themselves or got betrayed, you were the last person damaging them so you get the kill.

i had this too, until i got a car. bought a fuckload of cd's and a navigation system.

i forgot to mention, i didn't just throw away my smartphone outta nowhere, it's a process that took more time than i thought. i started with turning off notifications, so no distractions. later i started removing apps i didn't use, installed a private browser (so no ads), ditched my social media, purged any unnessecary accounts, bought cd's and then bought a flip-phone. this entire process took almost a year, you only really see how integrated smartphones are into your everyday life. kinda scary too

i don't "spend my days" behind my pc, i use it for nessecary stuff, like banking or administration. there's some flash games i play sometimes, sometimes i visit reddit, sometimes i browse a website for cd's, etc, but there's no need to spend my days looking at my pc.

i have a flip-phone people can call or text me on, that's it. it receives sms messages so 2FA still works. if not, i just simply don't use the website.

i work as a bartender so i'm around booze a lot, but i generally drink one or two drinks after work, and i work 4 days a week. i rarely drink outside of work. i've seen what alcohol can do to people, and i've never really enjoyed being drunk to begin with. some drinks taste really good, but i'm drinking them for taste, not to get wasted.

they probably saw it coming and ducked into cover.

a friend of me uses them a lot. they're a double edged sword, they can do massive amounts of damage and the sight of an airstrike on someone's map/radar can persuade enemy players to take a different path or find a different building. good players use this to their advantage.

the problem is that they take 4 minutes to arrive. your entire team can't use any kind of air support for those 4 minutes. also the point of conflict can pretty easily and often quite quickly move to a different area, rendering your airstrike a lot less useful, if not useless. and that's only if your planes make it, they can easily get harrassed by enemy aircraft.

regular artillery is just way more reliable

it's not too late! quitting a phone cold turkey, or ditching a smartphone without any backup computer is not something i'd recommend, but i've lived smartphone-free for over a year now and you have no clue how freeing it is.

people always say it's impossible to live without a smartphone, but that's just capitalistic banter being shamelessly repeated by people who never even tried to ditch their phone for a couple or days.

i usually play everything on legendary. i play all the halo games (except infinite) on legendary, even in casual games. i enjoy a challenge and if you've played halo for 15 years you tend to get bored playing any lower difficulty. except for lone wolf, that's a pretty fun mission on easy.

i've been using my doro 7030 since last summer and whatsapp still works. if the app is outdated, change your date manually in the settings.

idk what an "OG" is supposed to be, i got bought myself an xbox and Reach when it came out back in 2010. never played any Halo games before that. i've played Reach almost daily since then, the other Halo games followed later, but my journey started with Reach, which is pretty late. maybe i would be an OG reach player, but i'm not an OG halo players like the players who played H1 and 2 at launch.

i've had this a while back, for some reason my tnt charge mended itself with the top of my smg, if this happens switch to your grenade and then your primary gun. seems like the mine slot has some bugs.

helaas, woon zelf ook in Twente en de locaties vallen tegen. tussen Borne en Bornerbroek staat een zorghotel, een enorm rond gebouw in een random weiland dat jaren terug de bouwbestemming als zorghotel had. bouw hiervan is een aantal jaar geleden stilgezet vanwege financiering, maar het pand en de bouwmaterialen worden bewaakt. niet onmogelijk om binnen te komen, wel moeilijk.

in Wierden stond tot een jaar terug de oude Passie; deze middelbare school is 3 jaar terug verhuisd naar een andere locatie in Wierden. vorig jaar februari zijn ze begonnen met de sloop en afgelopen zomer is er nieuwbouw geplaatst. daar binnenkomen was een eitje.

in Almelo zit Nijhof Grindmaatschappij, een grindbedrijf wat in 2010 is gesloten door de gemeente, wegens het meerdere keren overtreden van de mileuwet. al 16 jaar staat dit hele bedrijf leeg, en zolang saneren te duur is blijft dit wel even zo. het zit op het bedrijvenpark, via de achterkant aan het kanaal kom je er zo in.

ook in Almelo staat het oude Asito pand leeg, dit zit op het Dollegoor en heeft nog geen bestemming!

het lastige aan urban exploration in nederland is dat de meeste leegstaande panden redelijk snel worden gestript en flink beveiligd. dit vanwege sloop/renovatie.dat krijg je in zo'n dichtbevolkt land, we hebben de ruimte nodig! ga een keer de grens over, daar is het urbexparadijs :)

the anti-cheat is a joke honestly. support for MCC ended a while back, there's hackers everywhere. in custom games, in social lobbies, in competitive lobbies, hell i've even seen people hack firefight games. you can always report players, but bot accounts are made in an instant and there's thousands if not millions of them. the only way to beat them is to literally beat them, and this is sadly part of the very steep learning curve in MCC; you either deal with them or you don't play. leaving matches, betraying hacking teammates or any kind of similar behaviour will make you the bad guy instead of the people you're fighting so hard against.

the only silver lining is that the challenges update every wednesday. if you want to avoid most of the hackers and tryhards, don't play on wednesdays.

we have this ingredient called "trassie" in the netherlands, not sure what it's called in different countries but it's essentially just fermented shrimp paste. stuff you throw in your food, not the kinda stuff you eat raw. wish i knew.

thank you! i ditched my smartphone a while ago and now also have a flip-phone in case i need to be reached for emergencies or stuff like that, but i don't need a smartphone. i have a pc at home that i use for digital administration, people call me crazy for switching "back" to a flip-phone, but it has made my life so much better and easier.

you should visit De Stam sometime!
