Shaqueel van Persie

Folk topic

Shaqueel van Persie is the son of Robin van Persie, who is currently the head coach of Feyenoord. Yesterday, he was brought in by his dad and he almost saved him by scoring two beautiful goals, but eventually lost 4-3 against Sparta Rotterdam in the derby.

Even though I am not a fan of Robin van Persie, it was a joy to see his son scoring twice and the quick smile on Robin’s face when he did. He must have been amazingly proud as a dad.

GeoGuessr

Folk topic

I’ve tried GeoGuessr multiplayer in party mode and I have to say: it wasn’t bad. People enjoyed it and liked what they saw.

A couple of comments, though: it can feel a bit slow when played with > 6 people, especially if your internet connection isn’t great.

Also, I didn’t like the fact that you can’t see the code of the game during the game. As a host, when people actually get disconnected (which happened too frequently if you ask me), they couldn’t join, simply because we couldn’t see the code of the room.

Regardless, definitely a recommendation from my end!

Brahim Diaz

Folk topic

Anti hero. I mean, I think we will not know if he actually missed the penalty against Senegal in the Africa Cup 2026 Finals on purpose or not, but it kind of looked like it. And on the other hand, it also looked like he just wanted to do a Panenka penalty which failed epically. Whatever it was, he will not be remembered nicely in Morocco. It might even affect his journey at Real Madrid.

Greenland

Folk topic

Greenland is the world’s largest island, located in the North Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean between North America and Europe. Geographically, it belongs to North America, but politically and historically it is closely linked to Europe. Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark.

Netflix

Folk topic

Netflix is becoming the sole streaming service in the world. With them buying HBO Max, it means the start of a new era for them. For us, as viewers, I don’t know what to think about it. My initial response was negative, as I think that HBO was the more qualitative counterpart.

HBO Max

Folk topic

What a shame: HBO Max is being acquired by Netflix, since they’re buying the entire Warner Bros. franchise. It’s painful — HBO has always been known for its quality.

Now series like The Boys, Gen V, Flight of the Conchords etc. will be ruined by the masses, I am afraid.

Dominic McLaughlin

Folk topic

Dominic McLaughlin is the name of the actor who will be playing Harry Potter in the new HBO series of Harry Potter. The question will be: will he become the new Harry Potter by slashing the legacy of Daniel Radcliffe or not?

We all know that Severus Snape (rest in peace Alan Rickman!) will never be replaced, but what about Harry?

Pokémon x Natural History Museum

Folk topic

Honestly, such a bad experience to buy tickets for the Pokémon x Natural History Museum event. I mean come on guys, why do we constantly get blocked, wait in a queue, website is extremely slow due to all the security things they’ve implemented. Just the worst experience ever. It almost feels like trying to buy Pokemon cards from Pokemon Center.
