I've just learned that boomers actually payed single coins into gaming machines to play video games in special stores instead of haveing consoles or pcs.
And now they're trying to pretend that was the peak of gaming.

>>743308328Lol. How young are you that the concept of an arcade seems alien?

We are likely never going back to that business model and more likely to just be forced to buy paperweight locked down hardware that can only run proprietary software under a periodic subscription to retain access
>>743308328I couldn't progress in Zelda OoT, so I called the Nintendo hotline and an old lady explained to me where I can find the Golden Gloves upgrade.
>>743308328It's spelled paid you fucking retard. Payed is an entirely different word. Why am I seeing this more and more?
it wasn't about the game but the social space. you knew every single kid in the block because they all went to the same place every weekend. You zoomers will never have your first blowjob after beating a game for a girl
>>743308328Back in the day if you wanted to play video games, you had to walk through the snow uphill both ways to the arcade, where you had to fill the arcade cabinet with oil, that you brought yourself, and light it using flint and steel just in order to turn it on and play the games, which consisted of walking to the big baddies castle through the snow uphill both ways before you ran out of pennies, each the modern equivalent of $100, and had to go work in the coalmines, walking there through the snow uphill both ways until you died of lung cancer.
>>743308878It's a mistake I see more with native English speakers
I can attest that hundreds of thousands of zoomer and gen alpha children gamed at the underground arcade between Harveys and Harrah's at Lake Tahoe.
