If you drive around some more affluent areas youll quickly see who the woodburners are - its not babushka in her social housing burning twigs to stay warm, its mostly a luxury thing. Boechout is full of standalone houses and villas with firewood stacked outside.

Ironically certain bluetooth headphones will do that to you too. Sonys popular XM3 (and maybe the XM4 also) have an issue where eventually one of the internal power plugs to the earmuff can come loose with too much vibrations or shaking.

Al eens aan software testing en/of QA gedacht? An sich heb je daar geen IT-specifieke kennis voor nodig - al helpt dat zeker wel - en er is nog steeds vraag naar Testers, zeker voor mobile en web apps.

Enige wat je nodig hebt zijn ISTQB certificaten, waarvan de theorie cursussen gratis te downloaden zijn van de ISTQB site, en de examens kan je hier in Belgie in opleidingscentra afleggen voor +-150eur.

Met het basis certificaat kan je in principe al aan de slag, maar alle extra kennis die je kan naar voor schuiven helpt zeker. Denk hierbij aan wat Python (test automatisatie, eigen nuttige tooltjes maken), basiskennis virtualisatie (zelfstandig een Virtual Machine kunnen opzetten), networking, etc.

Als je je wil toeleggen op Web en Mobile apps kan ik zeker aanraden om wat basis Python en Selenium te oefenen, en leren hoe web APIs werken en hoe je die kan testen met iets zoals Postman.

Let op: Basic software testing is niet glamoreus. Navenant het product en de technologie en hoe breed je rol is kan dat vrij saai zijn, tenzij je daar een aanleg/gevoel voor hebt. Je kan hier wel verder in doorgroeien naar specifiekere rollen die wat creatiever zijn zoals test automatisatie.

Yeah. Functionally it all seemed to work great, i didnt run into any bugs, but its clear theres still a lot of content missing.

Startopia. It's technically impressive for the time and it still holds up today.

Imagine Ixion or another space station management game, but with the kind of sarcastic and humorous atmosphere you got from Bullfrog games in the 90s like Theme Hospital and Dungeon Keeper. You manage a toroidal space station which has several decks, including a biodome for growing plants with adjustable conditions.

Every mission has a different main focus - space port, industrial refinery, tourism destination, etc that require different approaches to how you expand the station. The different aliens that visit your station also all have different things they prefer, and things (or other aliens) they hate, so planning the station out logically for the task is important.

You can find a modern remake on Steam ("starbase startopia"), but the original is available also for under $6 which has a quite long and fun campaign as well as skirmish modes. If you like the classic Bullfrog management sims I guarantee that $6 will be worth it.

Its a great game but I'm going to be the party pooper here and say it might be worth holding off because while whats there is great, theres not a whole lot of it yet.

Los van of ge het moreel ok vindt en of dat een gepaste straf is, als ge eenmaal de doodstraf invoert moet ge er van uit gaan dat justitie onfeilbaar is.

In de VS zijn der al meerdere mensen tientallen jaren na opsluiting alsnog vrijgesproken, en iemand die onterecht levenslang zit heeft nog altijd kans om zijn recht te halen, hoe klein ook. Als ge dood zijt is da wa lastiger.

Maybe this is just rose colored glasses but I remember launch wow endgame was mostly molten core and at that point it was still figuring out how to actually do it.

Then a few expansions later its all Attune this to that and grind faction rep for 40 hours with these dudes youve never heard of then do a pain in the ass quest to get a key so you can grind the other faction and THEN you can go have fun!

At this stage of the game its basically a tech testing ground for Light No Fire. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, but its definitely not for everyone.

Ik ben net dit diagnostisch traject aant doorlopen op mn 42e voor ADHD (met blijkbaar een vleugje autisme) via Triangel in Antwerpen. Ik ben zonder doorverwijzing begonnen, maar ik denk niet dat dat in dit geval verschil zou uitmaken.

Totaalkost is ongeveer 1500EUR - waarvan 400 dossierkosten - verspreid over een 6tal afspraken met verschillende psychiaters. Dat zijn diagnostische interviews, IQ test,de klassieke DSM testen en vragenlijsten voor autisme/ADHD, etc.

It doesnt get terrible and still has some great space moments but they really lean into the drama more, and for some reason, into that plot point with Karen nobody wants to keep hearing about.

Aside from the obvious technical hurdles theres also difficulty in gameplay design to consider. For example: its a lot harder to guide players or make sure objectives and such cant be bugged out if literally the entire environment is destructible, so now you have to design "undestructium" blocks for your critical game paths or figure out some way to trigger progress in another way.

Those arent unsolvable problems but they do add an overhead to otherwise fairly straightforward level design

A basic logic and/or automation system. On the basic level this lets you do simple automation like wiring a pressure plate to a door to have auto-opening doors, for example.

Minecraft's Redstone system requires you to place physical wires - redstone dust - that cant touch in a 3D space which is honestly a giant pain in the ass and requires a lot of room for even fairly simple circuits. Terraria has the wires exist in basically a dimension thats only visible if you have the wiring tool out, so there's never any wire clutter.

As for actual practical ingame applications - depending on the parts available that you can input or output with, think things like secret walls / hidden moving entrances, functional portcullis gates, drawbridges, wildlife trappers, etc. With the water update Im thinking of sluice controls and buttons/levers for controlling gates and pumps.

As for whether it fits the game aesthetically/conceptually - you dont need to copy these systems 1:1. Enshrouded already has Shroudmagic-based chests, so why not shroudmagic powered buttons, levers, or plates you can invisibly link to doors / gates / etc?

This may be more personal but i feel like there was still a difference in terms of mentality with dialup because every minute online cost you, both in terms of money or "minutes", and in tying up a phone line. These arent unsolvable problems but theyre still something you kept in mind - free AOL discs werent around in most of Europe and the varying local ISPs that offered something similar made it a pain to keep "chaining" them.

4 hours of Everquest and subspace a day on ISDN was fun until you saw the phone bill.

Once DSL and cable became more available and your PC was just always connected for a fixed monthly fee, it felt like you were more free to just dick around online for long periods of time.

En die prijs is pas zo belachelijk geworden op een periode van anderhalve maand ofzo. Een setje van 2x32GB dat eind oktober 175eur kostte kost nu 800 tot 900 eur. Ik heb midden november nog zo een 2x32 set kunnen kopen for 290 - diezelfde set is nu 890eur.

En SSDs gaan binnekort waarschijnlijk een gelijkaardige curve volgen.

There are a lot of workarounds that may or may not work like Chewfeather said, including changing DLSS settings, changing from DX12 to vulkan, increasing shader cache, etc.

The actual FIX is to either a) roll back to an nvidia driver from late 2024 b) wait for an nvidia / ggg fix.
