   @PurpCat @binkle @koropokkur @shibao Yeah, I was just thinking about that stupid barcade in Highland Park with their shitty maintenance and grown-ass hipster men drinking girly drinks in skinny jeans around the Simpsons and X-Men shitty 90s beat-em-ups and nobody playing anything.

     We had the opposite problem. Ours was actually called The Barcade and it shut down because too many people were just playing the games and not enough people were buying the overpriced high gravity microbrews.

     @Doll @PurpCat @binkle @koropokkur @shibao Yeah, that place was called "Barcade", I think. Clearly run by dipshits.
     
     Blipsy manages to turn a profit, I don't know how in that part of town. It's literally, like, one guy and he put his He-Man toys around and the drinks are cheap. They've got a lot of the old vector machines, they have Asteroids. The cut-off is 1989, the dude wanted to recreate his yoof. (People keep asking him why there's no Street Fighter machine.) Last time I was there I put a bunch of quarters into Defender because Defender looks amazing, especially given that the hardware only has 256 bytes (BYTES) of RAM.
