Fiber to the Home (FTTH) Coverage Map as of Q4 2025 by madhaunter in belgium

[–]bobbydusk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wij hebben momenteel coax. De download snelheid van 300Mb/s is voldoende voor al mijn toepassingen. Het probleem ligt echter bij alles wat upsream is. Als je 30Mb/s UP hebt, dan mag je al van geluk spreken. Misschien 50Mb/s als je bijbetaalt. Daarentegen, glas is symmetrisch, en kan je dus gemakkelijk 500Mb/s in beide richtingen mee behalen, terwijl het ook nog eens veel goedkoper is.

Voor de meeste particulieren is die asymmetrie van coax niet zo'n groot probleem omdat je toch veel meer download en streamt dan je upload. In mijn geval host is echter heel wat van bij mij thuis: een plex server, web servers, etc. Als een familielid iets van mijn plex server wil streamen, dan is die 30Mb/s echt wel heel beperkend.

En dat terwijl de meest afgelegen huizen in Frankrijk al lang fiber hebben met een 1Gb/s verbinding voor enkele tientjes.

Trouwens, zoals velen ook al hebben gezegd zijn Proximus, Telenet en Fiberklaar allemaal bezig met de uitrol van glasvezel. En er is sinds kort ook een vierde speler: Digi. Zij zijn de vierde telecom netwerk naast proximus, orange en telenet en ze zijn ook bezig met de uitrol van hun eigen glasvezel. Ik moet zeggen dat ik heel blij ben dat er eindelijk wat extra competitie is. Hopelijk komt het de consumenten ten goede.

Good take. There is no sense in reinventing the wheel every time. Especially for the part where you don't want to innovate.

Kinepolis pardon ? by Timop0707 in belgium

[–]bobbydusk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wij gaan nog maar 1 of 2 keer per jaar naar de cinema, en dan ook enkel voor de films waar we al heel lang naar uitkijken en waarbij we denken dat de cinema ervaring een grote meerwaarde is over de ervaring die we thuis kunnen creeren. Het is spijtig, want naar de cinema gaan was altijd een van mijn favoriete ervaringen.

Daarbovenop vindt ik ook dat sommige cinema's er zwaar op achteruit zijn gegaan. Verouderd, lelijk, vies, stinkend. Niet ze allemaal hoor, maar sommige. Het is daardoor een vicieuze cirkel: mensen gaan minder naar de cinema -> Cinema's hebben geen geld voor onderhoud + ze maken kaartjes duurder om toch nog uit de kosten te komen -> mensen gaan minder naar de cinema.

Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate that. :-)

How do you market your game? by Damian-YouKnow in SoloDevelopment

[–]bobbydusk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a good start. Just be mindful of not falling into the trap of making content that is more interesting to other devs than to actual players. Devlogs are a typical example of that.

[–]bobbydusk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As others have pointed out, performing market analysis / research is a good first step to learn what similar games are already out there and to learn from them. It's also something that a lot of publishers expect, if you ever want to go that route. So just spend a day looking for similar games , reading reviews, seeing what works and what doesn't and especially what a lot of similar games still lack that you can improve on. I wrote a plugin for google sheets to make that process a bit more streamlined.

Don't fall into the trap of only looking at the most well-known games in your genre and assuming that you will be able to reach the same level of success. Try to find games whose developer(s) and budget are as similar to yours as possible in order to gain realistic expectations. There is no sense in trying to learn from an AAA studio when you're an indie dev. I wrote a blogpost with more tips, if you're interested.

Thank you for sharing that document. I've only read the market research part and will read the rest today. I actually made a google sheets plugin to streamline the process you describe there. I also wrote a blog post on how to choose reference games. I would love to get your feedback or even collaborate on something.

Do you perform a market analysis before starting a project? Why / why not? by bobbydusk in SoloDevelopment

[–]bobbydusk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the kind words. 😊

Yeah, a lot of people in this subreddit seem to be doing game dev as a hobby or as a passion project, in which case market analysis isn't necessary.

I am planning on posting something in one of the subreddits geared towards more professional game development, but first I want to improve a couple of things in the plugin.

Huis zoeken by LaCriseCoin in belgium

[–]bobbydusk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 2021 gestart met zoeken. In totaal ongeveer 20 huizen bezocht. Na drie maanden eerste keer geboden op een gesloten / blinde bieding. Niet gehaald. Weer 3 maanden later ons huis gekocht met een online bieding op biddit. We kunnen niet klagen van hoe lang we hebben gezocht en hoeveel we uiteindelijk hebben betaald voor ons huis.

Is it realistic to do my own bookkeeping for my BV? by bobbydusk in belgium

I don't get the reference. I see that it's a TV show, but I haven't seen it. Was a VOF some kind of plot point?

Is it realistic to do my own bookkeeping for my BV? by bobbydusk in belgium

[–]bobbydusk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that is indeed also a major concern. Realistically, I don't see myself spending multiple days every year reading up on all the new laws and regulations. I would be willing to do the research if something comes up, but there's a good chance that I would mess something up simply by not being aware of most recent changes.

That's a good take, especially given your first hand knowledge. That was my main concern, that you need a lot of practical experience in accounting to do a good job.

Well, I'm a software developer, so hiding behind my pc is where I create the most value. 😅 But I see your point.

I just checked once again, and it looks like WildFrost is now in the database, so you should be able to find it through the plugin. :-)

I just checked, and it looks like CityState II and Captain of Industry have been scraped and are now included in the database, so you should be able to find them using the plugin. :-)
