Being creepy to women. Or worse than creepy

Tetris, on the gameboy.

We curse with pus (etter), tbc (tering), cholera (kolere), plague (pest) and more recently cancer (kanker). Although that often hits a bit too close home for some people. There's more that I'm forgetting right now. I have heard people describe something bad as being AIDS. So new ones are actually being added.

One of the theories is that it came from Yiddish where diseases are also used as curses. Another popular theory is that because the Dutch population isn't very religious we switched to diseases because that's whst we feared in stead of God. The truth lays probably somewhere in the middle.

Oh yeah they have a bunch of merch but luckily not too many funko stuff. I got some mugs from there.

It's sad news though, can't do digital second hand games or borrow one from a friend.

I suppose. Discounted nintendo games is nice though, those are almost never discounted. Plus the old games they sell are fun. Digging through old ds games and such.

Well for now they do. They sell a bunch of merch too.

For a discount on a new game? I while ago I bought a ps4 for a friend and just got a bunch of second hand games from that store. All common ones but I saved a bunch of money that way.

Kinda funny when you consider the good relations that the Dutch and Japanese had for a long time. Maybe Dutch humour changed?

I talked to someone working at a game store (gamemania in the Netherlands). The stores also buy and sell second hand games. I commented on the amount of fifa games on the shelves and they told me the storage in the back just has massive stacks of every fifa game of the last 10 years or so. Apparently they will literally buy every functioning game you want to sell them.

The chain is also close to bankruptcy, probably not related. But it's a shame because I really do like walking through them and looking through the games they have. They actually have xbox360, wii and ps3 games on shelves.

Small plastic bags, rubber bands and viagra. (does Walmart sell viagra?)

That and they can turn on when you get home after sunset. But they could do that with simple wifi connection or something. Unless your wifi is unstable I suppose.

Dutch, a funky dutch dialect, English and I understand German but I don't speak it. Should probably learn it.
