Fonzie!

AYO is that what they’re doing‽

Who’s doing this‽

I think they meant how Britons would protest against the US.

This kind of makes me want to name my kid Pascal-Case

Yep, the apostrophe would be %27

So Mc%27dole

Once Gabe is dead steam will do the same, and I am planning for that too now.

Why do you make it sound like Steam being decent is because of Gabe Newell, and not because of the culture there?
Oh shit no, Gabe, please be immortal!

to allow registration as anonymously as a library card.

Sounds like a good kind of library card, what country are they from?
Here in the Nethers I need to pay with my bank (not fully anonymous) and register with my national ID card or passport (not at all anonymous) for a library card in my city.

Making the time wrong makes people get up later, tho.

I didn’t mind getting up at 6-7am in Indonesia, I HATE getting up before 9am in the Netherlands. But then, the Netherlands is 2 hours off its natural time zone…

Mario Kart online, with the proximity voice chat mod for trash talking with dopplereffect.

Hm, actually now I do remember countryside Netherlands (achterhoek, to be more exact) has (had?) farmers selling their potatoes, strawberries or other produce just by putting them all on a big table next to a road, and putting a sign saying how much they cost with a little plastic container to put your cash in.
Also no human supervision, whatsoever.

Though I haven’t seen them as much anymore, and quite some seem to have been replaced by vending machines or disappeared completely…

PC, Switch, PS4; ok
Xbox, SNES, GBA; rare but welcome
Genesis, Saturn, Neo Geo; incredibly rare!

Some of these, such as the Saturn and GBA, are such wildly different platforms!
Porting this must have been no small feat, and I wonder if there are differences between some of the versions?

Alternative forms

Eerdappel […] (obsolete)

As Arnhemmer, I don’t completely agree.

Oh absolutely!
They just had no ananas exposure beyond that from the Americans.

as they couldn’t pronounce the Dutch word
