So I just had an insane experience (positive)
VIRGIN-SENPAI
I got an email from gamestop advertising that your local store may have extra switch 2s!
VIRGIN-SENPAI
The one closest to me now is in the mall (Gurnee Mills)
VIRGIN-SENPAI
I call them, they confirm they do indeed have a few for grabs. but I ahve to go there in person, claim and pay for mine, and then come back again at midnight to pick up
VIRGIN-SENPAI
So I'm like, sure, what the fuck, why not.
VIRGIN-SENPAI
I ahve not been inside Gurnee Mills in like 20 years
VIRGIN-SENPAI
I was expecting it to be a ghost town
VIRGIN-SENPAI
it is not
VIRGIN-SENPAI
it has turned into a WEEABOO PARADISE
VIRGIN-SENPAI
There were a TON of HUGE ANIME / JAPAN SPECIALTY STORES
VIRGIN-SENPAI
along with ASIAN TREATS such as boba, mochi donuts, korean rolled ice cream, etc
VIRGIN-SENPAI
and a GIANT ROUND1 with like a HUNDRED CLAW GAMES full of ANIME STUFF
VIRGIN-SENPAI
and
VIRGIN-SENPAI
AND
VIRGIN-SENPAI
I managed to snag their last Switch 2
Joy
nice
VIRGIN-SENPAI
I"ll be going back at midnight to pick it up :3
Huahua🐕
oh MAN congrats! what a roller coaster
VIRGIN-SENPAI
I was totally floored by the sheer amount of weeaboo shit in there lololl
VIRGIN-SENPAI
I guess we've become a profitable niche
VIRGIN-SENPAI
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
VIRGIN-SENPAI

: I was honestly shocked lolol. I was totally expecting it to be like just the flagship department stores
VIRGIN-SENPAI
no. the opposite. just a ton of nerdy shit
VIRGIN-SENPAI
I told my parents and brother the next time it's my brithday or some other special occasion just take me there, no need to go to mitsuwa anymore
VIRGIN-SENPAI
give me 50 bucks to use in the crane games lol
VIRGIN-SENPAI
I'll have a blast
VIRGIN-SENPAI
I mean there was lots of other really nice clothing stores and other stuff people like but I was just so surprised. I had no idea they'd managed to keep the mall alive so well. So many malls are dying these days.
VIRGIN-SENPAI
there was no vacant space at all
Summer🏖️Blade🗡️
we have a few vacancies still, but yeah... the nerds dominate
VIRGIN-SENPAI
and I think because of the nerd stores and huge arcade, there were lots of older teens hanging out like nature intended lol
VIRGIN-SENPAI
like I used to there when I was their age
Summer🏖️Blade🗡️
yup... same... real life mall rats
