Life / Video game prices in Poland [8]


So, being sick, I stayed at home all day, teaching kids English, cooking pierogis, repairing a metal bed.

I also watched the Gabriel 2 playthrough. 9 hours! I had found the script and could at last understand what some characters say. And they use a lot of slang, additionally the story is set in Germany and most German characters speak with a heavy accent. E..g, they say zei instead of they, vot instead of what etc.

I don`t remember doing half the scenes in the game, it seems I took the shortcuts, but now I have time to relish all options.

The story involves werewolves. Scriptwriters suggest that Bavarian King Ludvig was changed into a werewolf. The same one who Gabriel Knight has to confront in 20th century.

Check out that funny German English.

She was annoyed seeing the naked acts in pics. She screamed it was a disgrace. But now I don`t remember if she did it for religious reasons or feminism.

Yes, selling home made meat products before Easter. I used to buy some too.

I have run out of pics I collected in the temporary riddle folder. I need to choose new ones from taken-photos folders of 2018 and 2019 but I am not sure when I do it coz I am sick and a new week of hard work is ahead of me. Stay tuned, just in case. :):)

You had a chance to explain it succinctly in the last post. No need for paragraphs - a few words about Comanches are enough. Seriously.

Yes, that`s what I meant. Can we say those were two flavours?

Hey, these are my words! :):)

Yes. The succinct answer is: they both died. :):)

Without googling: Jewish, but I may be mistaken. :):)

The Jewish term bagel is another name for obwarzanek. A relative of mine used the Polish version of the Jewish word:bajgiel.

Sorry, I meant two kinds of flavour which were available in the past.

Yes, the legend.

Interesting. Where did you get it from? Polish Emigre Bulletin? :):)

haha I quote Wyborcza to unnerve nationalists like you. However, you can find the news in all independent sources, too.


I thought the Church should be as merciful as Christ used to be. Probably I was wrong. Sorry. :):)

Yes! Except they weren`t willow or hazel. They were fresh tips from pine tree branches. I had read somewhere about their properties but my syrup was a failure. :)

Point! :):)

Guys, do you know you can watch your fav video games on youtube?

I found two famous adventure games which I played in 1995. I didn`t buy them, I borrowed them from my students who had gotten them from parents for birthdays etc. The prices must have been quite acceptable, then.

I still remember them coz they have wonderful soundtracks which I even recorded onto my PC and listened to while driving a car. But the CDs got scratched and I discarded them.

So, now I am going to listen to Gabriel Knight story again. Amazing music, just check the intro to find out for yourselves.

Yes, I know what you mean and it is quite logical.

However, the unmarried females have kids. Firing them means the Church doesn`t take care of kids. So, wouldn`t it have been better if the women had decided to have abortion long ago? A lot of other women might consider it a good solution to a single pregnancy and kid raising problem after hearing about the Archbishop`s decision.

What do you think about this dillema? What is more important: sticking to dogmas or caring for kids?

Sometimes you use a lot of expressions in inverted commas which are unclear to me. E.g., who are Comanches?


Like Jews.


Also, they shouldn`t keep their saved capital in a stocking under a pile of sheets in the wardrobe but should take it to the bank.

Archbishop Jędraszewski fired 3 female workers from his press office. The reason is they have children but are not married. The Church takes care of Catholic families.

It is a tram in Krakow. :)


Are there any riddles in the series of 3 photos? :)


Ok, I will help Joker to create some riddles to his latest pics.

Bagel kiosk - what two kinds of bagels were available in Krakow of communist times?

St. Mary`s Cathedral: What happened to the architects of the church?

The wall art gallery - as a small kid, I was walking past the gallery with my mother and saw/heard a middle aged woman hollering at artists who were standing next to their exhibitions for sale. She was extremely pissed off. What was the reason?

Yes, and they will return in 30 years and will also complain about the lack of info leaflets to returning emigrants and the PF or another forum will discuss it again and again. In this way history will come nice full circle.


Yes, but now it wouldn`t be an economic problem coz economy is still thriving and employees are looking for workers.

In case of the Palace, I meant residents of Warsaw, not all citizens of Poland.

PiS lies all the time and about everything. Their encouragement to emigrants to come back is only a cheap propaganda trick. In this way, PiS can say to their voters: Look how we care about ALL Poles, vote for us.

They didn`t spend one single zloty on emigrant welcome programme and aren`t going to coz whether Poles return or not is the least important matter to them.

Not nice to me. But de gustibus non es disputandum . :):)

One last argument: I would be against spending so much money on a building whose only significant characteristic is it was huge. :)

I would be coz it is Warsawians to decide eventually. I think they should hold a referendum coz it is their money.

What about it? Develop the topic, please.

Ok, ceremonies won`t suffer, then.

Although a " nice background" is a very disputable issue. :)

How about my second point: sacred place?

Is that a riddle? You are a niga slave working in the mill?

Good answer again. :0

I see that I have run out of Krakow series.

Now, random stuff.

What was I trying to make?

I am against rebuilding the Saxon Palace. Firstly, it wasn`t such a great piece of art. To me it looked boring and typical.
Secondly, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a sacred place. Nothing should be changed around it.
Thirdly, the vast square near the Tomb is a good place to hold ceremonies etc.

All in all, it is PiS` another crazy idea.

When you first said this


it was quite equivocal.


You should have included it in your first post.


Where had they resided before return? Have they just returned from Paradise that they don`t know about dangers of being cheated on etc?

Yes, you are right but I think you meant Singapore or Hongkong.

A perfect answer! I hate when smokers drop their fags on the pavement/street etc. When I see it, I ....... never mind. :):)

This is the beginning of a known street. What is opposite it? I mean, behind the photographer ?

Aargh, now I got the idea what he/she was talking about. :):):)

Hey, Zppla, you should add the proper names of places coz there are a few palaces or castles in Warsaw.
