- Jeugdjournaal: this is a news program for children. This is a counterpart to "Het Journaal", which is a daily news program for adults broadcasted by the public Dutch Broadcasting Foundation (which is a public service broadcaster). "Jeugdjournaal" stands out because it manages to make kids aware of what is going on both in our own country and in the world, and does so with a lot of journalistic integrity while trying not to polarize or distress kids.
- Het Klokhuis: this is a short documentary program for kids, broadcasted everyday in which it tackles a new subject in each episode. The more serious parts are interspersed with sketches - often comedic - to make the topic a bit more lighthearted. I learned so much from Het Klokhuis when I was a kid and it's so successful that it has managed to remain on air since it's first episode in 1988
The above 2 programs were broadcasts right after each other, and has been a part of kids evening schedules all across the country for years.

Diablo 4
I finally finished the campaign this weekend. The world and art style are beautiful. The music is ok, but not memorable. The story is predictable but passable. The gameplay is.... not to my liking. Almost every single monster felt like a bullet sponge, even on World Tier 1 (the easiest mode). I rarely encountered a monster that I could down with 1 hit. The bosses were really tedious.
Now that I have finished the campaign, I feel no direct urge to get into the endgame, and I don't get particularly excited by the idea of rolling a new character for season 1. I will probably skip it.
It's so strange. I love ARPGs! I religiously played Diablo 1, 2 and 3. I put quite some hours into Grim Dawn, Path of Exile, Lost Ark and Last Epoch. But Diablo 4 just doesn't seem to do it for me.
Anyone else feel like this?
