fond memories of going into a warhammer store on like the hottest day of summer that year as a teen and it smelling really bad.

oh and also because they had no water available i literally passed out while standing up to play a game with some guy more than twice my age who was basically doing every "that guy" tactic imaginable (he'd at least painted his models though to be fair)

I spent some years of my youth hanging out at a card shop in a dead mall before it closed down where my brother would play pokemon and yugioh. I didn't play any tcg but I was friends with the shop owner's kid and we would hang out in the back room of the shop where there was a pikachu n64 and also a bathroom that I don't remember if customers were allowed but it sure stank like ass in that whole back room. But still those are some of my fondest memories running around that dead mall as a dumb 7-8 year old
