Arcades used to be safe places for children. Then in the early 2010s freaks in fetish outfits started hanging out in them.
>>
>>729381326
what about it is making you so angry?
>>
>>729381402
That's anti-semitic.
>>
>>729381402
Self reporting zoomer. Arcades in the 1980s were decried as grooming grounds for pedos and drug dealers.

>>
>>729380638
Because home consoles and PCs came to life and replaced them by being better and more convenient in every way, same as is happening to the film industry right now.
>>
it's more comfortable to play games at home, and the hardware advanced to the point consoles could get 1:1 arcade ports
The popularization of online gaming surely didn't help, now you could play against people much easier
>>
>>729380638
at this point they only attract posers. no wonder that bullies in japan mainly hang around these places

>why they died
Arcades maintained their relevance in the late 80s and 90s on a hardware advantage. There were big, bold games only playable in the arcade. This fully disappeared in the 2000s, as home hardware had caught up so damn well that there were arcade systems that were just modified Gamecubes and Xboxs
>why did they never come back
Arcades hinge on community. They exist for ad hoc multiplayer and leaderboards. Enough people would have to roll back in all at once to make it worthwhile. Otherwise you're slamming quarters for something often on the same tier as a mobile game, or that you can buy the collection of it and ten other games for $5 on digital storefronts, and the comparison has only gotten worse with time due to many places now charging 2 credits per play on many machines
>why do they survive in Japan
Multiple factors. Better public transport between cities. Small undivided island country with concentrated population (also allows more gimmicks in development). Better versus cabinets that don't require you to smell your opponent. Vastly different home markets.

games started coming on CDs, consoles started getting better, computers started getting more affordable.
these things combined are what killed arcades.

So stop living around trannies and you won't see them in your arcades.

You're "afraid" because you think you can both be ready to love someone and be someone who finds it suitable to fornicate. Somewhere inside you intuit the dissonance and get cold feet

The clientele was the real reason. Would you really want to go to an arcade and deal with smelly fat virgins, screaming kids, black guys trying to sell you dirt weed, and shitty fucked up buttons and sticks on cabinets? Or you could just sit in the comfort of your own home and not have to pay .50 to play for a couple minutes with greasy controls. Arcades are able to exist in Japan because they are clean and don’t break shit.

Taiko's fun as shit, it attracts everyone

>>729387353
Zoomers borrow a lot of ebonic vernacular because basically half of their lifespan is spent sitting in front of a screen watching an african american. African americans typically pronounce the word "ass" as "ahh", though I'm not sure why, a lot of zoomers have seemed to pick up on their dialect for some odd reason.

if anything they are making a comeback both because millennials have the money and nostalgia to go there and zoomers are looking for more in person, "real" experiences instead of scrolling tiktok all day.
I had a great one near me where you could play everything for free for like 10 bucks an hour and they had expensive machines too like Dancerush Stardom, F1 sims and Guitar Hero. I don't even understand how that place makes money. 10 bucks an hour barely covers the electricity bill I reckon.
The ambiance could've used some work but who cares? Sadly I moved away and although an arcade opened literally around the corner from me, games are between 1 and 3 bucks a play and it's way smaller. All the machines are Chinese knockoffs of famous machines too.

for me, it is
1. the way she bows in random directions
2. the way she adjusts her glasses autistically
3. the way they collide
4. i am so lonely it is unreal i am gonna dieeeeeeeee
5. the way her breast is flat
6. the way she blindly groping for her drumsticks
7. the straight pose she passes by

>Arcades used to be safe places for children

rofl you've never set foot in a fucking arcade
>>
>>729390152
I mean it depends on what kind of arcade. If it's like Chuck E Cheese with a seating area where your parents can hang out while you play, that's pretty safe. The more 'professional' arcades with teenagers playing DDR for 3 hours straight, yeah those places can be intimidating.

This implies a woman has ever willingly spoken to me before. They have not.

>>729390026
Nah these places suck. They typically have the same games and they're good and all, but I don't need to play the simpsons/TMNT/X-Men arcade games every fucking time im in an arcade for the rest of my life. These places typically have few or no modern machines and the older cabinets aren't kept up very well.

>>729382598
The only girl who ever genuinely liked me was a short, fat girl in high school who I used to lose my virginity. I felt nothing.
