I never saw this growing up and it makes sense. Too expensive and too useless for the few games it would make sense for. $99 was like $220 back then.
These days arcades are more pinball focused and it has saved the arcade industry in the US at least. I’m one of the people who uses the Pinball map app and tries to go play pinball anywhere I go. Many arcades have opened in the past 5 years and are doing well. People are tired of being at home from covid, and the social aspect is amazing and the community is very open and kind.
Most people can’t afford a $7,000-15,000 pinball machine, so they go out and pay 50 cents to a dollar per game and have fun for a couple hours.
I’m actually going to an arcade today in my city that is one of 3 huge ones within a 45 minute drive. Over 35 pinball machines and 50 arcade games, many are imported from Japan and are Amazing!!
LoafedBurrito@lemmy.worldto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•What's *your* favorite way to play old games?English1·15 hours agoOriginal equipment if possible. Once I replaced my TV with a new crappy smart TV, my retro consoles obviously wouldn’t work. A $25 insignia upscaler from best buy has solved all those problems except for PS2 since it’s native resolution is hard to convert to digital, so it looks like crap. All other consoles look fine and saved me $300 compared to a retrotink. Otherwise it’s all on my modded Wii or Xbox 360.

The dollar has lost 11% of its value since January. We are in freefall because of MAGA Republicans and Donald Trump.
LoafedBurrito@lemmy.worldto Reddit@lemmy.world•Reddit is making summaries of user profiles fo mods.2·2 days agoWell, i’m glad i got banned before they implement the social credit score. Fuck reddit.
It’s not worth it, they will ban your other accounts. I had all 3 of mine permabanned even using a VPN. One had 110k karma, one had 30k karma, and the other had 26k karma. Reddit accounts don’t matter and reddit doesn’t matter. It’s a search engine tool now and nothing else.
The reporting function doesn’t work, just like the appeals don’t work. Reddit is trying to get rid of anyone who provides content, but not to their standard. Permabans are the easiest way to discourage us from coming back. Banning your IP and MAC address takes it a step further and is another reason why many people are confused and frustrated.
Honestly, being permabanned is the best thing for me. I hated reddit, but it was the only option i had known of. They constantly push ad’s onto you and those stupid “He gets us” jesus propaganda ad’s.
I got permabanned for questioning the presidents health, you are not allowed to question their king.

LoafedBurrito@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•DOJ plans to label trans Americans as "mentally defective" to take away their guns22·2 days agoYeah that’s not tyranny at all…
Also love how the NRA and GOP ignores the fact that the church lead this person to commit these crimes as they were shunned by the church for being themselves. Then they went radical fascist and shot up the church as retaliation for hating them and making them feel like less than human.
So i guess the only logical thing to do now is thoughts and prayers…

I mean we all already know he is a pedophile and it’s been proven in court, but his base will need it to come from his mouth. Which means nothing will change and MAGA will be the downfall of america.
LoafedBurrito@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Some americans have the gun industry penis so far up their ass that they don't even notice their asshole is gaping. English20·2 days agoIf you were every heavily involved in the gun community, everything the president is doing, they agree with. They only care about non republicans coming after them, they don’t care if it’s their own team hurting them.
I don’t miss those assholes or the hoops they had to jump around to convince themselves they weren’t huge hypocrites.
Also many of them drink and carry, which is a felony.

She may be surprised to hear it’s probably a mix of both parties and everyone is a horrible person and needs to be in prison for life.
LoafedBurrito@lemmy.worldto Reddit@lemmy.world•I didn't think it was possible to sum up reddit with a single image, but...25·3 days agoI’d be curious to see what their AI permaban tag words are. So many words must be listed since they will ban you for violence if you even mention Luigi or say the word “dead.”
I’d also love to be a fly on the wall for those conversations to see their thought process for how they deny the first amendment and how many bots they need to replace the one person they banned to make the site seem full.

LoafedBurrito@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump asks Supreme Court to quickly take up tariffs case and reverse ruling finding them illegal20·3 days agoNone of this matters anymore. He has caused so much chaos and damage, it’s going to take months or years to recover from this.
His tariffs have always been illegal and honestly, no company should have paid them. My company is losing thousands every shipment because of these random and stupid tariffs, i can only imagine the hundreds of thousands other companies are paying in tariff’s alone.
The supreme court is owned by the GOP, so they will side with him and the country will continue to freefall into a massive depression.

I’m so glad I don’t work retail anymore. Ruined all music for me. I’ve heard every Christmas song at least a thousand times and I can’t listen to All Star by Smash Mouth Anymore.
