You should probably cut down on buzzwords. If half of your post is buzzwords people will just ignore it as obviously artificial bug/shill/leftyposting.
the premise is interesting and unique and hooks you in the first episode
its not trash chuuni eye candy or incel wish fulfillment.
its an actual story with underlying theme and message
the art is good (because it has a high budget) and while there is fan service, it's not distracting or pathetic like in most anime.
>stuff that is done because it looks cool or is sexy is bad >fanservice is distracting/pathetic
just say you hate all anime except for a select few "acceptable" ones and move on you irony poisoned homosexual
i hate when a character design exists the way it does because it looks cool and will sell figures
i hate when a character design exists the way it does because it looks sexy and will sell figures
there is nothing wrong with anime being over the top and cool, or unapologetically horny, but theres an aspect of that which comes from a talented artist making something they genuinely love (one punch man, made in abyss respectively) and ticking off boxes on the profitable fetish checklist to make as much money as possible while spending as little as possible

oh eizouken was last 5 years?
the rest of what you posted is the type of trash im talking about. SAO and JJK is literally dictionary definition flash-in-the-pan chuunislop and the rest are coomer trash
i would say dungeon meshi will surpass it but the first episode looked somewhat flat, not writing it out yet though. they may be saving the big bux for the hard hitting scenes.
anime is to AAA slop as manga is to the rest of the gaming industry
if it has an anime, it's because someone OK'd the ridiculous budget 2d animation costs.
so basically every anime that comes out tends to be like ubisoft slop. rarely you will get something like god of war which is still awful trash nobody should ever play, but it's really polished trash so normalgays think its the best shit ever (JJK, demon slayer, etc).
its not every year AAA releases an actually good video game, and in the same way it's not the every year the anime industry releases an actually good anime.
I don't think its the best thing in the world, but I also think it's great, might end up in my 3x3.
Am I qualified to say something like this with pic related.
It seems like one of those anime that only women and cosplayers care about. Personally, I've only seen people who market fan made products of anime merchandise or those that obsess over fate-type or chainsaw man type anime talk about it
yesterday, we still have a Time Out in our mall I take my kid too. It's updated, but damn the price of each machine is moronic now. I remember when 25 or 50 cents was standard, with your really nice prize cabinets being a dollar. Now everything is a dollar with many machines being close to 2 per play
Last November I think. We have a pretty big arcade on the town square and my bud had his bachelor party there. I should really go down there more often. It's like $5 to get in the door and the games are free otherwise. I always wind up with the high score on the Galaga cabinet.
2022 I believe, but I gotta get back. There's a very fun place in my area with a one-time pay to get in system. They serve food and have really old electromechanical stuff as well as newer machines. One of my favorite places, but I haven't gotten out to there in a bit.
Some of the machines are in kinda rough shape since there's no cost barrier to play them, but most of it is good to go.
About a month ago. It's just a bit too far away to casually drive out to it, which also means it's been hard to convince other dudes to ride along and make it into a proper outing. Most of the clientele is either 50 year old men in the 80s corner, 9 year olds playing Tekken, or men my age being babysat by their girlfriends/wives, so sadly the option to play with randos isnt' really there either. Really, the only reason I kept going so often was to play and grab drinks with the 50-70 year olds in the pinball basement.
There's also a barcade that's much closer, but I only go there for a burger after work. The only cabinet worth mentioning there is Tekken 5, and the old men playing pinball are notoriously more grumpy.
really wish there was some sort of gamer place to congregate and generally spend time in socially, like normies do with pubs or whatever the frick it is normies spend their free time on tbh
arcades re nice, but it doesnt have place for e.g. PC games and other stuff which isn't arcade multiplayer
A local mall tried to bring back LAN/PC cafe. It's a novel concept, but there's just not the market for it in America and it didn't last.
The few hanger on non-Gamestop game stores I've seen usually have small play rooms to rent and chill in with a classic system, assuming they don't get nigg'd to hard anyway.
>A Lan huse isn't quit what I have in mind. It's focused on each player being isolated on their own station, not on socialization. I want something akin to, for example, a party revolving around a 4-player console party game but extend that to include singleplayer/PC games. People who aren't themselves playing being able to watch, root for, comment on etc. various games, and not just part games but singleplayer/PC games too. Different big screens which you can watch, including for singleplayer games etc.
Imagine a venue which has a LAN house area, for people who just want to play and not be bothered, and a more social area, in which you don't mind or even want people looking over your shoulder or even butting in on your game, whether it's an audience-friendly game like CS or Smash Bros or whatever, or a singleplayer game like, I don't know, Grim Fandango or Disco Elysium.
It really is a shame. You pretty much have to get into board games or trading cards if you wanna have a place where you can hang out with other people who like games. I guess there’s also fighting game locals, now that I think of it.
If redemption shit like Dave and Busters count it's been about two weeks. I just think the games are fun and it's a decent enough social gathering.
Went to a Round 1 about 5 months ago and had a blast. I wish there was one close by so I could justify getting cards for the cool rythm and racing games.
like right when covid was hitting the news but before anyone was doing anything about it was the last time i went to an arcade
but last year i was at a convention that had a hall dedicated to arcade machine setups, will be going again this year too
not really planning on going to arcades because we just play warlords on 2600 now
I was around 8 I wanna say, It was in some mall, the arcade cabinets were nearby the movie theater part of it and also some to the side of the lobby nearby the bathrooms of the place.
The games I remember were, SF3 (I think it was 2nd Impact?), X-Men the Arcade, MVC1 and X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Some Star Wars Arcade game, and Crazy Taxi.
Though over the years the cabinets got removed except for Crazy Taxi which years after also got removed but The CT cabinet being all by it's lonesome in the very middle where you would get your tickets stuck with me for some reason.
I only go to the arcade to watch other people play lol.
I do sometimes ride the motorbike simulators and the Initial D machine, frick yeah, I like it.
Now I watch other players on Twitch or Youtube. One day I'll build my own arcade cabinet. I kinda want to buy one of those Initial D machines as well, though it costs $20,000, I might just get a racing wheel and pedals instead.
The only arcade near me was at this local mall which I’m surprised is still open because it literally only has. 3 places open, a jonann fabrics, some veterans place and another insurance place. It used to have like k martt, Sears, like 8 different clothing store, 2 different book stores, J.C. Penney, radio shack, on cuee “later sam godey” a movie theater and aracde, then it started going down hill around 2002 once Kmarttt left. I think the arcade closed in 2009 or 10 and they were selling all their arcade cabinets for like ridiculously high prices. Had some good times there though eventhough it was small, dark smelled like burnt popcorn and BO and overcharged for tokens.
A couple months ago. There's one less than an hour away, but the collection is kind of odd. Something like 70% of the floor space is dedicated to VR "experiences" meant for large groups, food, go-karts, and token-sucking prize games, with another 15% for pinball machines and the remaining 15% for classic arcade stuff.
I guess that's what an arcade has to do to stay afloat these days, but still.
You've got it completely backwards, ironically.
White moms are so scared of Black personly behavior in places where there are none that it's become social taboo to let kids go out unsupervised in ANY context.
Thus, places children used to congregate became complete husks. That's why every arcade has to be catered to adults now, not because the games are old but because kids can't fricking go out.
I know, anon, I'm saying that you could be in the whitest town south of the arctic circle, but if you proposed a parent let a child out of their home for a few hours unsupervised, you'd be looked at like you just recommended making a jacket out of his skin.
>White moms are so scared of Black personly behavior in places where there are none that it's become social taboo to let kids go out unsupervised in ANY context.
Well, considering we're GETTING that behavior where there used to be none, is their fear unjustified?
NTA, but absolutely.
I grew up in the 80s and 90s, when crime was insane, but our parents let us roam the streets unsupervised, and we mostly turned out fine.
Gen Z kids grew up in the 00s and 10s, when there was barely any crime; but their parents still freaked out at the slightest possibility of harm, and most of those kids grew up super-sheltered.
We're seeing the consequences now; an entire generation is coming of age who need safe spaces and gladhandling because they've never had to face normal childhood and adolescent development. All they know is getting their every want catered to by those in authority; and when they don't get their way they throw tantrums and riot.
There's nothing worse for your children than letting them grow up sheltered.
And even when they don't turn out entitled, they turn out horribly maladjusted. These are children who have had zero real chances for independence except MAYBE through devices or services their parent simply doesn't understand. Some get addicted to their phones because their phone is their only path to socialization their parent doesn't have total control over, some just wind up terribly dependent on their parents, some go through both at once.

And then they go off to college or work and demand that those places act like parents too, and shield them from anything negative and punish anyone who disturbs them.

No, and then they don't leave.
That's the real epidemic. Kids who grow up so sheltered they never had that teenage job to get them into the rhythm of work, never had their own possessions to teach them how to manage shit, they don't all go out and demand the world change to suit them. That's a loud minority. The majority are beaten down until they have no desire to live their own lives anymore, and will happily stay attached to their parents for life.
That arcade is amazing, but the owner is a scumbag. He hoarded every single candy cab he could get his hands on in the entire country so nobody else could enjoy one.
There's a barcade that's a 5 minute walk from my house.
I went there a month or two ago. I didn't play any of the arcade games, but it did have an SNES with Super Mario World hooked to one of the TVs, played that for like 15 minutes then left.
Last year in Tokyo.
Went to Japan and didn't want to miss the arcades. The only reason I don't say that it was my best arcade experience ever is because I am hopelessly nostalgic of my stereotypical childhood arcade sprees, but damn it got real close to topping it.
If any of you anons go to Tokyo, go to the arcades in Akihabara, atleast check out all the GiGO buildings if you can't go to all of them.
>There's even one arcade that's just pinball machines.
That's based, I went to a pinball convention a few years ago and there were so many awesome machines that you just never see nowadays.
Even the old shit from the 60s and 70s was still pretty fun.
Maybe, it's pretty chill so I'd love to check it out again, pinball machines are one of those things that you really CAN'T do without a machine of your own so it's always made more sense than your typical arcade machines, at least these days.
Kinda like those crazy rhythm games they have in Japan.
And that's what I did. A comma or a period wouldn't fit there.
Great image BTW.

I can't wait to get high, go down to the arcade, find an old pinball machine in the corner, and pretend it's the 70s again.
yeah
theres a pinball "museum" here which is really just a pinball arcade and theres also this place called arcade monsters down the street full of old arcade cabs and jap rhythm games
It's been at least 18 years. I live near the largest one in the world, but it's mostly just retro games that can be emulated and some random rotating stuff. I wouldn't mind playing the Simpsons game for the 100th time though. That one's a banger.
I grew up in the countryside so I only rarely ever encountered arcade machines. usually there would be between 2 and 5 machines in the corner of a bowling alley or a pub if you were lucky.
I think the only place that I've ever been to that had enough machines to qualify as a real arcade was like 12-15 years ago or more. me and a buddy nearly finished that awesome Aliens light gun game.
>git gud in the 80s >can play a lot more for a lot less money >git gud in the 20s >have to pay more for actually challenging modes to be added to what few games are mechanically fun
>pay to play in the 80s >invest quarters for something you can beat in one run >pay to play in the 2020s
invest $70 for the base game plus an additional $30+ for DLC that completes the story of the base installation
Round 1 opened on Christmas weekend and I've been going every weekend since. Each card was a player waiting to play DDR. I even got a tripod to record myself playing.
Last Sunday. There's a great arcade about 20 minutes' walk from where I live, I go there almost weekly to play rhythm games and meet bros from the local community. There's over 160 machines from different time periods and genres, but my favorite has to be WACCA. The line for it is crazy sometimes.
yesterday i was at a bar with 40+ pinball tables, a few hundred feet from another bar/venue with the same owners and a handful of pinball tables, a block away from a coffee shop with several more pinball tables in the basement, and a mile south there's an arcade bar with lots of arcade video i don't particularly like and a dozen pinball tables, base model, but ten cent tokens on thursdays, and free in my case because i'm cute so people keep giving me their extra tokens faster than i can spend them, and most bartenders there don't charge me for mocktails. it would take me at least four (4) hours of uninterrupted play to spend $5 on tokens there.
there's a few other big arcades in the greater metropolitan area.

If Dave and Buster counts then 10 years ago, if not then never
Shiiiiiiiit, 2021? Went to some arcade in Vegas.
Maybe like 2003
It's been like 10 years since the last one closed down. I miss playing house of the dead and getting drunk and playing pool.
I miss classic arcades for sure
I went to dave and busters with some people a few weeks ago, it was gay and overpriced and you had to buy and load money onto a card to play anything
yesterday, we still have a Time Out in our mall I take my kid too. It's updated, but damn the price of each machine is moronic now. I remember when 25 or 50 cents was standard, with your really nice prize cabinets being a dollar. Now everything is a dollar with many machines being close to 2 per play
Almost as if all prices rose to match inflation. crazy...
No one's carrying a $2 coin on them, it makes them a lot less accessible to randoms when you can't just dig into your pocket and play.
Last November I think. We have a pretty big arcade on the town square and my bud had his bachelor party there. I should really go down there more often. It's like $5 to get in the door and the games are free otherwise. I always wind up with the high score on the Galaga cabinet.
I went in one in a shopping mall in the christimas of 2020. I played a terminator shooting game.

A few weeks ago. I'm in the US and found a place in a nearby town that actually has a game I played in Japan.

few days ago at Round 1 since they're the only one with the rhythm games I care about

2017.
1995 but my reaction/mechanical skills are still at peak level (so far) via various testing
About a month ago. It's just a bit too far away to casually drive out to it, which also means it's been hard to convince other dudes to ride along and make it into a proper outing.

These are children who have had zero real chances for independence except MAYBE through devices or services their parent simply doesn't understand. Some get addicted to their phones because their phone is their only path to socialization their parent doesn't have total control over, some just wind up terribly dependent on their parents, some go through both at once.
And then they go off to college or work and demand that those places act like parents too, and shield them from anything negative and punish anyone who disturbs them.
No, and then they don't leave.
That's the real epidemic. Kids who grow up so sheltered they never had that teenage job to get them into the rhythm of work, never had their own possessions to teach them how to manage shit, they don't all go out and demand the world change to suit them. That's a loud minority. The majority are beaten down until they have no desire to live their own lives anymore, and will happily stay attached to their parents for life.
Even japanese don't called Japan the first world country because we are pool right now.
That arcade is amazing, but the owner is a scumbag. He hoarded every single candy cab he could get his hands on in the entire country so nobody else could enjoy one.
I went the other day. I only go to play that Initial D game
Whomst’d’ve
The picture is watermarked...
But who is the character
There's a barcade that's a 5 minute walk from my house.
I went there a month or two ago. I didn't play any of the arcade games, but it did have an SNES with Super Mario World hooked to one of the TVs, played that for like 15 minutes then left.
Last year in Tokyo.
Went to Japan and didn't want to miss the arcades. The only reason I don't say that it was my best arcade experience ever is because I am hopelessly nostalgic of my stereotypical childhood arcade sprees, but damn it got real close to topping it.
If any of you anons go to Tokyo, go to the arcades in Akihabara, atleast check out all the GiGO buildings if you can't go to all of them.
last time I went to Japan. The only people there were playing rhythm games, ufo catchers, and that gundam game.

An actual arcade? 2002.
Man.
A few weeks back. There's a local man hosting his own arcade and he's based beyond belief
they're all barcades now and always have extreme crime problems
2022.
Played Star Wars Arcade and Daytona US.
In September in ikebukuro.
A few weeks ago; there's still a few here and there in my City. There's even one arcade that's just pinball machines.
>There's even one arcade that's just pinball machines.
That's based, I went to a pinball convention a few years ago and there were so many awesome machines that you just never see nowadays.
Even the old shit from the 60s and 70s was still pretty fun.
>I went to a pinball convention a few years ago
What's it called? I'd love to go to one.
Pintastic Pinball
Hope you live near the northeast.
Boston is doable! And it's in April so it won't be 20 below, too. Maybe I'll see you there, Anon!
Maybe, it's pretty chill so I'd love to check it out again, pinball machines are one of those things that you really CAN'T do without a machine of your own so it's always made more sense than your typical arcade machines, at least these days.
Kinda like those crazy rhythm games they have in Japan.

I don't get it, what's wrong with using a semicolon?
Semicolons are for linking two independent clauses; you misused it.
And that's what I did. A comma or a period wouldn't fit there.
Great image BTW.
I can't wait to get high, go down to the arcade, find an old pinball machine in the corner, and pretend it's the 70s again.
That's why you use a period instead of a semicolon or comma. Or reformat your sentence so it fits.
Like this?

are you also in orlando?
Nope, NYC.
I'd like to be in Orlando, it's freezing up here right now.
yeah
theres a pinball "museum" here which is really just a pinball arcade and theres also this place called arcade monsters down the street full of old arcade cabs and jap rhythm games
Been trying hard to get into shmups but I really can't
I enjoy rail shooters and Wild Guns though
When I went to Japan back in March. Was a cool experience but nothing prepares you for how loud they are.
oof, years, a lot
MY
ASS
IS
HEAVY

Last week, there is one somewhat close to where i live.
They do half price every monday
Only once I found an arcade with these small cabinets you played sitting... it was surprising comfy compared to the usual standing ones
Somewhere late in the 90s where I was playing Marvel Super Heroes.
Around November, I want to say. I was stuck semi-wrangling tards so I didn't have much fun.
>bulge at the bottom on her pants
Did she poop herself?
It's been at least 18 years. I live near the largest one in the world, but it's mostly just retro games that can be emulated and some random rotating stuff. I wouldn't mind playing the Simpsons game for the 100th time though. That one's a banger.
I grew up in the countryside so I only rarely ever encountered arcade machines. usually there would be between 2 and 5 machines in the corner of a bowling alley or a pub if you were lucky.
I think the only place that I've ever been to that had enough machines to qualify as a real arcade was like 12-15 years ago or more. me and a buddy nearly finished that awesome Aliens light gun game.
A week ago, Im Mexican.
I went to one in Akihabara last month
Bruh she caked up frfr
>remember when we had to pay to play?
And boomers complain about one time purchase dlc.
>git gud in the 80s
>can play a lot more for a lot less money
>git gud in the 20s
>have to pay more for actually challenging modes to be added to what few games are mechanically fun
>pay to play in the 80s
>invest quarters for something you can beat in one run
>pay to play in the 2020s
invest $70 for the base game plus an additional $30+ for DLC that completes the story of the base installation

Round 1 opened on Christmas weekend and I've been going every weekend since. Each card was a player waiting to play DDR. I even got a tripod to record myself playing.
Last Sunday. There's a great arcade about 20 minutes' walk from where I live, I go there almost weekly to play rhythm games and meet bros from the local community. There's over 160 machines from different time periods and genres, but my favorite has to be WACCA. The line for it is crazy sometimes.
I'm in Japan and I visited two of them. Was nice.
Today, the machine is 10 metres away so it's easy to get to.
Yesterday
yesterday i was at a bar with 40+ pinball tables, a few hundred feet from another bar/venue with the same owners and a handful of pinball tables, a block away from a coffee shop with several more pinball tables in the basement, and a mile south there's an arcade bar with lots of arcade video i don't particularly like and a dozen pinball tables, base model, but ten cent tokens on thursdays, and free in my case because i'm cute so people keep giving me their extra tokens faster than i can spend them, and most bartenders there don't charge me for mocktails. it would take me at least four (4) hours of uninterrupted play to spend $5 on tokens there.
there's a few other big arcades in the greater metropolitan area.
post breasts NOW
Today, played some DDR while my brother was wandering about the rest of the outlet plaza while waiting for his car to get checked up on.
When was the first time? I don't live in the city, I'm white.
