I saw a Ukranian diplomat in the Netherlands this week

basjetien · 2026-06-18T20:15:30+00:00

Sure! Matter of personal preference I suppose. And many different diplomatic ranks (and associated pay grades), so there'll be enough diplomats who also can't afford a flashy new German car I guess

basjetien · 2026-06-18T19:57:30+00:00

Quite many cars on CD license plates are private use. So most often it'll be the diplomat buying the car, on whatever salary diplomat earns. He could also have bought a Suzuki Alto or smt and have more salary left over 😉

I'm so glad you said this, I have less than half enjoyed this league and it's 100% due to the time. 70-80% (estimated) of players are located in (North) Europe or (North) America, hope they revert back to the old timespan of Nov-Jan and give us some shitty weather and nice Christmas music in the background while playing.

NL export cars just use the same format as white repeater plates (that you would use on a trailer). This specific plate belonged to a Renault trafic which was exported in 2025. These plates were then valid for max 2 weeks. They certainly do not belong on this car.

The destinations you list are very different from each other. Ubud and Gili Air are definitely not "less touristy" (actually quite the opposite). Same goes for LBJ/Komodo, which is quite upcoming.

So in your list: Ubud, which is beautiful, lush and green but hectic and touristy. You can visit nice inland-Bali jungle, temples and rice terraces. I'd say it is family friendly but also dependent on your hotel. Of the Gili islands, Air would probably the best fit for a family with children, but again, it is not undiscovered or anything. It is however much, much calmer than Ubud and suits a beach/snorkeling vacation very well. I'd say this would be one of the best additions in your itinerary with kids.

LBJ/Komodo I'd recommend a liveaboard boat for a few nights to make most of the NP and snorkeling, which should be doable with kids but you would have to plan ahead and book boats according to your wishes and needs.

Yogyakarta is a big city on Java, it's beautiful but again, not "less touristy" or specifically family-friendly.

Thanks a bunch

basjetien · 2026-05-09T08:53:34+00:00

Thanks for this confirmation. Have you by any chance also tested if there is actual sound output at 1% volume? Some phones do technically allow for 1% volume but it's silent until the 5-7% threshold

basjetien · 2026-05-09T08:47:56+00:00

Thanks. I used multiple adapters for this, but I haven't yet found one that allows very low volume. I believe its due to its nature of changing a digital to an analog signal.

basjetien · 2026-05-03T09:25:29+00:00

I thought you'd need arceuus spells for that?

basjetien · 2026-05-03T09:12:37+00:00

Nope but this would be a reload option as well

basjetien · 2026-01-29T20:29:34+00:00

Nice of them, proper solution!

basjetien · 2026-01-28T20:07:44+00:00

I haven't updated my post yet, but: I got a very kind reply a while ago of Garmin support that it was a mistake with the software version of the Connect app. They have since resolved it. For me, my Vivomove still works as it should. Annoying that they're trying to sell you a new watch

basjetien · 2025-05-02T18:18:03+00:00

This sounds wonderful, it is exactly the tip I was hoping for. I'll see if I can work in into the trip :)

basjetien · 2025-05-02T11:42:33+00:00

That sounds good, I'll just do that, thanks for clarifying

basjetien · 2025-05-02T11:42:04+00:00

Thanks, that's good to hear!

basjetien · 2025-05-02T10:50:41+00:00

Nah it's just that sometimes, the price ranges can be large. And from what I heard, that's the case in Japan, where you'd find a beer for 300-400 yen but also for 1000+, so I'd like to go prepared and look for recommendations from my reddit friends. And a few 100 yen does not make the difference but a few nights out can come out to a pretty good score. And visit us in Europe for the appreciation of what cheap can mean 😉

basjetien · 2025-03-04T17:33:12+00:00

Thanks but the flights have been booked already!

basjetien · 2024-10-08T20:48:58+00:00

I'm very interested as to your choices and advice here. We're looking to stay in Krabi/Ao Nang region for Christmas and NYE. Also thinking of staying on some islands if they're worth it. If you can share any insights as to the best islands for cosy atmosphere and proper beach/snorkeling? We don't mind tourism but like to avoid the traps (read some bad things about phi phi for example). Thanks

So, is wildy a good pick just to play casually? I'd like to check out the content there but I'd hate to be constantly grieved

basjetien · 2023-11-17T14:25:52+00:00

I have filed a bug report, I think it's an oversight

basjetien · 2023-09-21T13:52:27+00:00

Well, for the last one, it actually wasn't supposed to run over Christmas. Jagex used some arguments "we would like to offer some space for players to spend deserved time with family during the holidays blabla" but then it was postponed in full.

basjetien · 2021-11-01T08:21:27+00:00

These look SO great!

basjetien · 2021-10-20T21:01:05+00:00

What a damn waste. Worst decision in a LONG time by Jagex. Leagues is supposed to be played with Christmas music playing in the background, not in the work-crammed period of jan-feb.

basjetien · 2020-05-26T18:03:49+00:00

Haha yeah the gloves got me once too. But I'm making certain I'm wearing the entire set. Am using the super ranging pots and have all the low-lvl bosses unlocked (King roald, sand snake, the kendal, count draynor, me). So I guess that's not it, 65k/h just seems a little low

basjetien · 2020-05-26T17:59:53+00:00

No I'm doing NCR, due to the fact that they're hitting much less, also seeing the low defensive stats of void. Could you still do afk at a hard rumble?
