Re: Least Flattering, Worst, Most Embarrassing Royal Nicknames

What is it with people who think that just because they're "on the internet" (or at least YouTube), they can do and say just as they like, with no consequences? :roll: YouTubers is a good description. Just like potatoes (tubers), they have no eyes to see with. For my birthday, I got a boo...

Re: Least Flattering, Worst, Most Embarrassing Royal Nicknames

He's most definitely a person who's acting casual and saying things he shouldn't. Woldn't know a thing about his UN work (what was the Clue quip again, "homicidal individuals with a delusion of grandeur"? ) But yes, the female royals are doing everything to get a good public standing, thre...

Re: Least Flattering, Worst, Most Embarrassing Royal Nicknames

Meeting other mainly ceremonial heads of state is part of it. The previous monarch had a minute amount of power but after the one time she actually used it in 2010 I think, it was stripped from the royals and now they're professional wavers. He decided to marry the (beautiful and intelligent) Máxima...

Re: Least Flattering, Worst, Most Embarrassing Royal Nicknames

Our king has his birthday today. In his youth he was known as "Prins Oliebol" (a round, deep-fried dumpling we traditionally eat around the end of the year - as an insult it means fat and stupid). Time will tell what will happen and what nicknames he'll get, possibly "Vorst Vastgoed&q...

Re: Best King's Quest 1 Cover?

Ahhh, Times New Roman, infinite grace at your fingertips... I'm so tired of fonts sans serif. Maybe I'll write a text adventure based around fonts someday. "Serif's Quest". I like the atmosphere of the photos a lot, it manages to conjure up a sense of excitement and "gimmegimmegimme&q...

Now, if we could get a group to remove that "save/restore" limit on Codename: Iceman. :D

Re: Choose Your Own Adventure.

I love those, I only had so few of them as a youngster, which is a bit of a shame. Thanks for sharing! I may try my hand at one of them.

Re: Script party!

I played BS3, it took me a bit of getting used to (with the start on the plane I got nauseous a lot). As you delve down further the game becomes fun but also here and there disappointing. The game has some added mechanics - box moving "puzzles" (which are easier than level 1 of SokoBan and...

Re: Script party!

Hey where did my post from yesterday go?

I looked into Lighthouse but there was very little dialogue in it, basically only Lyril. Don't know the game well enough to tell if there should be more.

Re: Star Wars / Star Trek Discussion (SciFi In General)

I recently saw Dune (2021). Still not a fan of sci fi but a certain group of discussions between Gabriel and Wilkes just got even funnier. :D

Re: What are you playing now?

You're more than welcome to give it a go! Thing is you never know in advance if any of it is solvable by non-Dutch speakers. However if you want to give "charts" a go (their newly invented game: a cross between chess and darts) I wish you the best of luck! https://www.aivd.nl/onderwerpen/a...
