  • Excuse me for reacting this late.

    Taking out enemies with cameras, gadgets and traps in an open world is pretty nice. Gameplay a bit different in every game.

    The story in the first one, wasn’t that interesting to me and a lot of reviewers talked about how wooden Aiden Pierces personality was. Also suicidal killer cop cars that will run over everyone and everything to get to you, hehe.

    Second game is different in story and setting (San Francisco), mechanics and controls slightly different. I liked it, but again not for the story, same with the third, where everyone talks in street slang bruv…but the open world, stealth, drones, puzzles and hacking made me sink 60 hours into that game. Haven’t played the DLC for Legion, one can play Aiden Pierce, but I am not sure it is worth the price, even at discount.














  • Braakensiek illustrated for “de Amsterdammer”.

    There are “similarities” in composition. This cartoon from 1895. Woman saying, “look my guy, you can show this picture in Basel”.

    Hartjesdag was the carnival of Amsterdam and the surrounding area. Men dressed like women and women wore men’s clothes. Amsterdammers went all out for one day. The cartoonist Johan Braakensiek used the party for a cartoon about anti-alcoholism.

    Hartjesdag was mainly celebrated in Amsterdam’s working-class neighborhoods, such as around the Haarlemmerplein, where it was full of stalls, all the bars flew the flag and the houses had a lit star above the door, but also in the Jordaan and the Dapperbuurt. Later the party moved to the Zeedijk. After the war, Hartjesdag disappeared, but the catering industry on the Zeedijk is now trying to revive the festival.

    The origins of Hartjesdag are obscure. Perhaps it was a day when deer could be hunted freely in the forests around Haarlem. The catch was roasted in the street and people drank as much as possible. The party included activities such as clubbing (katknuppelen), setting off fireworks, dressing up and indecent behavior.

    Especially in the evening, Hartjesdag often got out of hand. There was a lot of drinking and partying in the streets. In the Jordaan and the Haarlemmerdijkbuurt, scenes of ‘horrible drunkenness and unbridled debauchery’ were reported every year in the nineteenth century.

    In the supplement of August 25, 1895, Braakensiek ridiculed anti-alcoholism. Moderation was a topic of discussion in The Hague. The government representative, Mr. J. Heemskerk, presented the government’s position at an international conference in Basel.




  • Is there any reason you want to have two DNS servers? I would just disable the dhcp in the ISP router and let the pihole do the dhcp serving. This way your network is ad free as it get’s the pihole DNS by default. You then could set any device to the ISP router DNS manually. Just saves a lot of hassle, space, electricity and headaches when something goes wrong.
