What killed arcade gaming?
>>736112676shitty games
>>736112738that suck ass
>>736112738I don’t think so. Arcades are still big in Japan and they have all the same stuff
>>736112676nintendo I guessgood home consoles
>>736112676Home console parity
>>736112676Id time kill her crisisThe answer is consoles and rising costs.
>>736112676she looks like she'd have sex in the bathroom at that arcade
>>736112676the ice age
>>736112903>>736112919>>736112923Consoles don’t explain why it only died in the West
>>736112676honestly nothing, i was shocked when i visited my brother over the holidays and he took me to a few barcades around him. all packed, all "nerdy" stuff in there (plenty of arcade games, pool, foosball, board games, trivia, pro wrestling, etc), and a lot of biological women there with their friend group or boyfriend. none of them looked as good as the bimbo in your OP, but the arcades definitely aren't dead per se, they're just a part of a bigger, themed establishment.it's in the name, the main reason people go to these places from my observation are- the bar part- the arcade part- everything else, maybe the board games are at the top of the list
The internet killed places where you just go to hang out, I legit believe this has been a major factor in societal decay
Why the fuck would I go to an arcade when I can play video games at home?
>>736113117Asian parents are much stricter, meaning kids are less likely to be able to game at home. Which is also why internet cafes are more popular there. That said, arcades are still dying in Asia too, it's just slower.

>>736113117The west has big dicks and money.
>>736112676car culture
COVID was the final blow
>>736112676america is just too big
>>736113218He's too old to eat a Twix now
>>736112676Non-whites, that's about it.
>>736113117arcades have a much lower cost entry barriersome cultures prefer to stay away from home for entertainment
>>736113117It died in the West because people don't have irl friends they hang out with anymore.
>>736112676Console introduced the idea of making a game that actually respects the player's time and money instead of being short but well polished cash grabs.I'm glad they died.
>>736112676Nobody wants to go out and have to deal with endless ugly third world people just to be ripped off at the arcade.
>>736116403>Nobody wants to go out and have to deal with endless ugly third world people just to be ripped off at the arcade.this is the answer
>>736112949kek'd @ that image
>>736112676One place is filled with a particular race that likes to vandalize property, the other isn'tOr at least wasn't for a while
don't want to be anywhere near that whole gen of rabid kids raised by parent who think discipline is child abuse
>>736112676The Playstation 2
>>7361128981. Many jap arcade cabinets never came to the west2. Jap arcades are indeed dying, just slower
All the arcades around me replaced all the good games with ticket slop. Arcades are just digital carnival grounds bow days. That and they kept increasing the price to play
>>736113117Western arcades are far more expensive than in Japan. It's cheaper to just buy your kid a console these days than feeding them cash weekly or even daily to go play at an arcade
>>736114293This. Browns ruin absolutely everything.
>>736112676Me.
boobs are proof that life is worth living
Do chubby chicks like guys with 18 bmi?
>>736116974Arcade perfect conversions were a thing by the Saturn era.
>>736117570the fact I cant touch boobs is proof I should kill myself
>>736112676How do you have sex with girls like this? How do you flirt?I'm autistic and I don't understandDo I just say I like her cleavage?Literally what do you say and do?
>>736118931Just have a lot of money and a big dick and be on roids and tall and good face, teeth and hair.
>>736113117arcades in japan are in dense, walkable urban areasamericans aren't getting into a car to go dump quarters into a machine
Bitch I aint got that many quarters
>>736112756diarrhea dump
>>736118743no hands?
>>736118931I believe you're supposed to compliment her eyes or mouth if you're trying to flirt during the first minutes of contact. can't be too pushy, can't be too slow, yadda yaddaunless you're chad, which in that case you can just push her by the hand and ask to go fug somewhere else
>>736118931I'm being sincere here in saying there is no hope for you. A two to three sentence post will not help you. You're best bet is to find someone socially fucked as you and hope your tism's sync up
>>736119489>You're Fuck
>>736119489>You're best bet is to find someone socially fucked as you and hope your tism's sync upI did thistake a guess how it went
>>736118743pay a hooker $50?
>>736118931Just be attractive and not weird.
>>736119684>attractive how? >not weird how? why can't you be specific?
>>736119743You are beyond hope. I'm so sorry.
>>736119485>eyes or mouth if you're trying to flirt during the first minutes of contact.eyes, sure. mouth, no. better to compliment hair, clothes, or some other thing that they have some control over.
>>736119743You have to be an interesting person that can carry a (non-sexual) conversation. Just imagine you're taking to your /v/ros, and try not to look at her breasts.
>>736119743>why can't you be specific?NTA, but he can't be more specific because the issue isn't you, it's society.You will never be good enough for the average modern woman because she can choose from 50 men at any time.Like 40% of young adult male population aren't in a relationship and it's amazing how no one dares to talk about this.
>>736112676local hangouts in general becoming unsustainable.
>>736119606the hookers in my area are 2/10 beyond used up hags Id rather jerk off than fuck OR cost 700+ an hour. either way its not worth it
>>736119835makes sense. also I meant "pull by the hand" here >>736119485 not "push" kek
>>736112676>see cute girls at the barcade all the time>no idea how to approach themgenuinely I wish I knew what I was doing
>>736112898Japanese arcades are dying lol.
>>736119597My guess is you were too foward and scared her off cause your autistic mind went straight to 'act like a confident chad to impress woman'. With my experience in autistic woman (hell just tismo's in general) you need to make them feel comfortable, not try to impress them.
>>736112676Future doctors and engineers turning the west into a low trust hellscape and home consoles/pcs getting better.
>>736120273>hey do you wanna get in a call and chat sometime >NO>hey do you wanna play a video game together sometime >NO>hey here's a joke >I DON'T LIKE JOKESkill all women
>>736112676console gaming
Arcades are just gambling machines. Good riddance.
>>736120362sounds like this person didn't really like you but was too polite to tell you to go away anon
>>736120189you don't women don't want to be approachedstop being a disgusting incel rapistbe better
If brown people didn't exist arcades would be awesome
>>736119597You’re giving girls too much power, a rejection should mean less to you than taking a shit. Get your money up.
>>736112898>Arcades are still big in Japanno they’re notDaigo said even jap arcades are dying and he’s depressed over it
>>736120362>Asking woman to do anythingYou already lost retard, woman is most comfortable when they don't have to do anything. Especially so when they don't have to make a decision
>>736120483I only go outside of my childhood home for 3 days in the year to an anime convention That's the only time I ever see women or other people in real life
>>736118931Fat girls like that? Just be Chad
>>736120558Nobody would make fulfilling relationships doing that.
>>736120534that's when I'M the most comfortablewomen should accommodate MEif they don't I will beat them up and rape them with my superior physical strength as god and nature intended
>>736112676Unironically every single cabinet costing 2-4 quarters per play session.
>>736112676My kid and I go to the arcade nearly every week (it's his main use of his allowance) and it's always full of other kids on a weeknight. I see no kill here.
>>736112676Home game consoles+online put the nail in the coffin for sole arcade establishments.Now arcades need a gimmick to get people playing (barcade, social arcade). But they don’t last long.Plus the most popular machines in arcades are prize machines.
>>736112676Urban youths.
I go to Round 1 every week to play DDR World for like 6-7 hours.
>>736120558and why would any sane or slightly desirable woman want to date someone like that?
>>736117570Everything it takes in acquiring said boobs is proof that life isn't worth living.
>>736120558So why the hell are you worrying about girls? There seems to much bigger problems in your life your life and fucking a girl is not going to fix any of it. It will probably fuck your life up more because you will attract a complete psycho who will see you as a mark.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83YcQep-5nEThis video pretty much has it down on why things have become the way they are. Don't worry about it. Many are feeling the same way, and that's okay. Some of us are just victims of the times.
>>736120461I stopped even making eye contact with foids and switched to twinks full-time. No ragerts.
>>736120639>>736120774>>736120776>why would you want to be in a relationship with the type of person you actually get along withGEE I DON'T KNOW MISTER NORMALFAGMAYBE I SHOULD JUST BEEE MYSELFplease DO tell me where to go to find autistic, shut in, nerdy women who like anime and video games?
>>736120461>t. a man trapped in a prison he built around himself
>>736120813>Some of us are just victims of the times.Yep. And it's not this being the case that's so soul-crushing, but the fact that there's literally nothing you can do to change it.
>>736120813do zoomers really get their worldviews from random videos? it explains a lot I guess though
>>736121121Fuck it, we have anime. And that itself can bring warmth to my heart.

>>736120979Aren't we all?
>>736112676they stopped making fun games for themgo to any arcade in japan now and its just shitty rhythm games
>>736121470exactlywhy the FUCK would any of you NIGGERS waste time talking to fucking females? they are so fucking stupid and uninteresting they don't play video games and if they do they're fucking terrible and not fun to play against
>>736113194I need to go to more barcades, just to get out of the house and socialize a bit and play some FUARKIN TIME CRISIS THE HOES GONNA LOVE SEEIN MY ASS WITH THE DUALIES
>>736121575the average woman is more interesting than the average 4channel btw
>>736120362That chick legit didn't like you anon. Sucks to say but it is what it is. I learned this with my 3rd foid that you should NEVER have to beg/coral a bitch into spending time with you. They should just WANT TO.
every arcade I ever went to the guy working the counter always looked like one smart comment away from ripping someones head off and eating it
>>736121575some are kinda cool, there was one I talked about math with for hours after class. literally the only person I've met that matched my interest in mathematics was a woman. actually kinda insane
>>736121690I'm not the average 4channerI've been banned hundreds of timesI have made memes that got reposted with millions of views
>>736121575You're supposed to play kids games like beat em ups and light gun games with the foids anon.They're perpetual kids.
>>736121785are you going to arcades in your free time and calling other people there perpetual kids? You can do one or the other but it's rings hollow if it's both
>>736121883Nigga it's just a fact of life lmao. Women by and large just don't think the same way as men. Much more childish and only thinks about 'fun' factor. Simple as.
>>736121958buncha nonsense

>>736113117Online gaming killed arcades, first internet cafe LAN parties and then consoles
>>736122130>implying women can't also be festering hives of STDsJust don't rawdog somebody new every week and you'll be fine.
>>736121690>>736121690>>736121690>>736121690>>736121690
>>736112676You have to go outside to get to an arcade, and arcade games only have gameplay and no story. And the gameplay is usually too hard for most gamers. By contrast console and PC games could be played at home and were easy and had plots to draw in people.
>>736120693
>>736120813women have always been overcrowded with attention, its just with the internet their colder due to having to balance so much social interaction.just focus on vidya pal, dont dwell on /r9k/ matters here.
>>736112676I dunno, I went to one in london and it was pretty packed but also a total ripoff, definitely not something worth going to regularly.
>>736118931Practice approaching women and talking to them about random shit. Do it repeatedly, over and over again, until you reach the point where you feel zero social anxiety. You need to be able to be totally calm and relaxed around women. If you show anxiety and nervousness and neediness women are not going to be interested.Besides that, work on your appearance. Maintain a healthy weight, exercise, wear good clothes, (never ask your girlfriend for suggestions, only other women) etc.Once you've done that, approach many women and actually try to seduce them. Don't take rejection to heart, because there are half a billion girls out there and sometimes girls will fake resistance to see if you're for real.Also- It's good to love women, but loving a woman is trouble. Don't allow your emotions to fixate on one woman before she shows strong evidence of commitment and reliability.Also- Character does matter. Read romance novels to learn which traits women find attractive. These are not the same as the traits society praises as virtuous.Once you've done the above, accept that the rest is up to fate. Believing you control things you don't is a recipe for unhappiness.
>>736118931I just did tinder until I got the biggest booba of the bunch.
>>736120950"Shared interests" has not and has never been something that makes good relationships, anon. The only thing you should be concerned about is if a bitch can get you hard and doesn't have a shitty personality and doesn't ask you to beat her up.
>>736120950>Getting shitty at genuine advice just because it forces you into self reflection We'll you weren't wrong about the tism lmao
>>736121421You're delusional if you think that shit wont be monkey pawed to hell and back in the times we live in
>>736121575Why would I want to play games with anybody? Are you some MP loving FAGGOT? Stupid zoomerNIGGER
You anti-social fun-hating faggots.
>>736122094No he's spot on. You apply the same mental logic you would talking to a child. They fucking love it. Watch when they try to be serious and it's all irrational nonsense. Like how a child acts when they're serious too
>>736124902The alternative is killing myself out of despair.I think I'll take the chance.
>>736112676>>736113794Same person?
>>736112676Society
>>736125039I have a female manager I treat like a child and she loves it.I tell her to calm down when she starts gettin frantic when work starts piling up and tell her to just sit down.
>>736124385From my experience the biggest thing women love that's easy to do is just be the Man who Acts.See a problem in front of you? Solve it. Don't even fucking think, just do it. People squabbling and you know the solution but don't want to be assed to take the reins? Do it anyway. Swing your fat fuckin' dick around like the biggest monkey in the place. Bitches love that shit.
>>736112676what killed it? home consoles being equivalent, and long run cheaper entertainment (without games relying on gimmicky controls)what makes them untenable today? in the US, its niggers, but worldwide I’m not sure, I guess it’s why Japan’s arcade culture seems to have lasted longer than everyone else’s some oil rich sheik should open a mega arcade in Dubai if they haven’t already, like a museum/arcade with every cab ever
>>736125346Fair enough, god speed anon
>>736125482No
>>736126792>That TUMMYOkay I may be willing to deal with an anglo women if it lets me get my face into that chub.
>>736113218Yes. It seems that nightclubs, movie theaters, and other places people used to frequent as social gathering spots are also struggling now.
>>736120483I really enjoy taking shits though.
>>736119485"You got a purdy mouth." does have quite the effect on women.
>>736120483>a rejection should mean less to you than taking a shit."A" rejection, sure. But what about hundreds?

>>736120909>anon is so afraid of women he became gayAre there any arcade games so punishing that made the players switch to their competitor?
>>736126792If more British women looked like that, I'd have a more positive opinion about them.
What was your favorite arcade shooter?
>>736121603That's what I thought until I realize I'm the only person that goes alone and no one else is there looking to make friends.

the graphical and computational technology was made portable enough that it became consumer viable to have at home gaming via early consoles, and home computers were closing in behind the consoles.going to a dedicated location for your entertainment stopped being as attractive of an idea when you could get comparable entertainment for a singular purchase in the comfort of your own home.the only arcade games that really survived were games that had hardware that couldn't really be financially viable for at-home use and those that were attached to scenes that managed to stay populated enough that you could wring some coin-op play out of them (mostly bars, kareoke, bowling alleys, etc) but it'd depend on the location and clientelean arcade in an affluent neighborhood could still pull people in, but a lot of modern arcade games are shitty phone games blown up to be cabinet sized for ticket scams. if you know a place that has old imports and classic cabs that's the place to be, especially if they give you free play for the entire day for an at-the-door fee.

>>736117145You have two kinds of arcades in America now, the ticketcade, like Charles Entertainment Cheeses, and David and Bustertholomews. The goal is you spend all our monies on ticket games, but get an eraser. Then you have the XXXcades, whether it be bar, cafe, restaurant, etc. where it's more about fun games like Guitar Hero, TMNT, or Tekken, which are usually free or cheap to play, but make their money on the other part.
>>736117570Your standards are too high, look for fat bitches, single moms, divorcees, etc. You may not be a catch, but neither are they. Shower, maybe slap on some cologne, treat them to a nice dinner, a walk in a local place with some views, and you're over 80% of guys trying to woo them. And if you ever question yourself, Pete Davidson has been landing 9/10s and he looks like a bug eyed drug addict, his trick, respond promptly.
