when did arcades go away

Early to mid 00s. The widespread popularization of console gaming with the Nintendo 64, PlayStation/PlayStation 2 and Xbox meant people could play the same video games at home that they could at the arcade anytime they wanted and for functionally free once they bought the game, and mass produced consoles were cheaper to make and buy than giant rear end arcade video game cabinets.

I watched a local arcade go from being THE popular downtown hang out spot packed with hundreds of people every day to a loving used furniture store in the span of like 2 years. It was not fun.

I'm a Friend of Rodney Nano

Sounds like his friend, Lamar, was a big part of both teaching him the ropes and making sure his head stayed on straight.

Hey, Harvey,; just wanted to let you know that you're playing a dangerous game using your real name. You've done wonderful keeping certain information close to the chest, and you should absolutely keep it that way. There's a thing called "doxing" these days where people and robots try to get your personal information for a variety of reasons.

*personal info removed pending review* You shouldn't share that poo poo either. I already have the feds watching me, so I couldn't care less. State police and the FBI both are aware of my activities, and they're even tracking my ex-wife. poo poo sucks, but what are you gonna do?

Don't know if you recall how one of my nicknames was "Podfather," but that was when I was in the low security wing of the county jail (basically like daycare for adults) and I risked spending a week in solitary for first bitching out the guards over intercom for sarcastically making GBS threads on the only older black man in our group that *everyone* respected, then telling off the guy they sent to shut me down. They were in the wrong, they disrespected him, and I refused to back down on his behalf. The nickname was a half-condescending joke, but also half respectful. You know how it goes, yeah?

*Edit* yes, my really real name is "Jim Bob". gently caress everyone who gives a poo poo. My addresses is also *personal info removed pending review* and my trailer door is never unlocked. I have nothing worth stealing except for maybe a cheap tv that I have actively been trying to get rid of. Living your real life free of worries is the greatest thing you can ever do.

Mod edit by CaptainSarcastic: Out of an excess of caution I'm blanking out personal information for now. It can be restored if deemed appropriate, but with this kind of thing I think it's better to err on the side of caution.

A Terrible Person posted:

So, uh, basically don't do what I just did. I got nothing to lose and am already being monitored, so I don't give a poo poo. But, seriously, keep that sorta poo poo close to the chest.

And if anyone feels like robbing me, send me an email in advance and I'll probably freely give you anything you're interested in. Better than risking breaking and entering charges.

I'm ridiculously reasonable these days.

the arcade had a technical leg up until at least the dreamcast I’d reckon, which was pretty close to naomi arcade hardware and it had tons of great ports of arcade games as a result

Hey Harvey I think we're all rooting for you out here. Most people would agree that you got a poo poo deal and our justice system didn't deliver real justice for you.

You've mentioned birdwatching a few times. Totally good for you. There are often local groups that meet up to do this and you might really enjoy that. Parks systems in many counties have events where you can go along to learn about the birds.

Unlike in the 80s a nice binoculars or monocular are not nearly as expensive as they were. Much cheaper than then, so maybe think about getting one of those to look at cool birds with some time. A lot of monoculars double as a telescope if you want to get into looking at stars and things.

I'm sure your cousin can help you find apps for bird and plant identification. If you like being out in the woods check out citizen naturalist projects local to you.

Well, read the thread from the beginning and I'm all caught up. A very good read, thanks Harvey!

My dayjob is in cybersecurity (trying to stop hackers) and you mentioned liking Mr. Robot so I'll say this: Usually the way hacking is portrayed in movies and TV is completely unrealistic and most of the time just silly. But the hacking in Mr. Robot is some of the most realistic ever shown on TV, which makes the show that much better.

Good to have you around, looking forward to more stories. Best of luck.

Can't vote if you're a convicted felon, but you can absolutely run for office as one.

The New Mexico GOP just ran one in Albuquerque, criminal history indicating he's a violent armed robber who did time for it; and after he got crushed in the last election, he hired a hitman to kill his political enemies, got caught (after they shot up a house with children in it), and will be going back to prison.

Depends on the state, some states allow felons to vote once they have completed their sentence.

EDIT: and for y own story:

I was raped as a child when I was 10 years old (because I insisted I was a girl. This was in the early 90s so... yeah). Guy who did it ended up murdering my mother (sadly, never was classified as a homicide until after he died). He did end up in prison for raping a 17 year old. He died in prison in January of last year of COVID.

If I had been able to pass onto one of his fellow inmates (not possible due to distance/time involved) what he did to me, what potentially would have happened to him?

Okay, the convergence of crypto, NFTs, and ATHF here is just too dense and frankly cruel to the man. You're basically transporting a caveman into the dumbest possible future with no explanation of anything.

We all had YEARS of exposure to these things separately and we still don't really understand them.

As other people have said, most arcades today are corporate places like Chuck E Cheese. The ones for adults that are still successful sell a lot of alcohol to make up the difference.

Your best chance at finding one near you is to look up Dave & Buster's since they have locations nation wide.

Hello from Australia harvey zoo zoos,

https://goontu.be/ is a loosely affiliated offsite chat where people can add videos to watch. There is a separate thread here in GBS where people announce watch times for movies. Its a pretty chill and tolerant place and you should check it out, we'd be happy to have you. I have three questions:


Being that you were a big reader, were there any books that were "banned" or just never available in the penal system? You mentioned you guys loved Shawshank, but I'd imagine certain themes and topics were not made available? I can't imagine they'd want you guys reading Foucault or having access to certain mechanical manuals or even some occult stuff.

Being that there was a Women's prison colocated with your facility and there were guys blasting spunk into cups for for female prisoners, were there physical/sexual relationships between men and women within the same prison?

You mentioned prisoners weaponizing poop a lot. Ever get poop on you?

I'm gonna have to disagree, most major metros have "old school" style arcades. Pinball has made a huge resurgence in a ton of cities with leagues popping up all over.

I thought Crytpo and NFTs were explained a few times already so here goes the ATHF explanation.

ATHF is a cartoon and it's dumb and the plots don't make sense but the episodes are short and the jokes are funny.

The language of Crypto and NFTs is so dumb their buzzwords fit perfectly into the dumb joke cartoon.

Edit:

On a tangentially related note, there's a channel called Dankmus where the guy turns old Simpsons clips into music.

You can find and watch it, but you really need to be high for it to work, so that's probably a bad idea in your situation, OP.

I mean, it isn't BAD when you're not high, but goddamn does it hit different when you are.
