Did you guys ever go to any arcades?

I work in one. Anyone want to ask me any arcade questions?

Do you guys reuse arcade tokens or do they go straight in the trash?

>tfw you were 1 token shy of beating time crisis 2 once and for all
I'm still fucking mad.

They were not a thing in Russia. At least in big scale.

I have and it's pretty good, but all the bullshit to make it happen is hellish.

How often do you calibrate light guns? A lot of the arcades I go to, the guns are terribly offset.

Its like cardio, but it feels good.

Tell me the game to win the most tokens so I could clean house.

Have you ever had to let a kid out of the claw machine because they crawled inside?

how does she not have poo stains?

You have only yourself to blame

I wish I was born 10 years earlier so could've experienced the boom when fighting games were hot. I grew up in a location where any and all arcades had to be driven to and my parents were so keen on taking me to such places when I had consoles.

If you or someone you know is suffering from porn addiction or Porn-Induced Erectile Dysfuntion (PIED), I recommend you read the Easy Peasy Method.
It helped me quit my cooming for months, and now I'm more happy and energetic than I've been in a long time. You can do it too.

1. Society
2. The economy
3. The jews

Bruh, you win tickets, not tokens.
And holy shit the first complex math I ever did in my life was a cost-benefit analysis of tokens to tickets at chuck-e-cheese.
It's the game where you shoot out the clown's teeth with the skeeball launcher.

Do you mean tickets? I used to work in one with tickets, and they went straight in the trash. If you mean coin tokens or "Medals" of fucking course we reuse those. It's a big problem when people throw them out actually. Corporate bitches a fit when we have to order more.
Ideally monthly, Realistically, twice yearly. The problem i usually run into is my machines are offloaded from japan and the lense is scratched to all fuck and back. Also they keep putting my IR sensor light gun games right in front of some ticket abomination that has a ton of LEDs
No, but i have had to get kids out of basketball machines because their parents don't give a shit

what was the most autistic thing you saw in the arcade?

Yeah for sure, I used to go a lot when I was a kid, but not so much anymore - mainly because they're few and far between and they're not really anything special anymore. They're pretty shit quality in general, but back then a lot of the games were actually good and far better than anything home consoles could offer.

You ever steal the quarters?

1.) How did you start working at your arcade?
2.) What is your favorite arcade game?

Haha fucking faggot. I fucked my high school crush when I was 15

Sex is nice but like the other user said all the hoops you gotta jump through are dog shit. Relationships always start out good and slowly turn to shit, but that could just be the few relationships I've been in being pretty bad. One night stands are fun if you can pull it off.

How long will it be until I do?

Why don't arcades just set up a bunch of mame cabs? I dunno if it's illegal or what, but it seems like something nobody would bother enforcing.

Not particulary.
I do miss Lan parties though.

This is true. The baggage that comes with it sucks. But if you're resorting to one night stands, just make sure you're honest with yourself and acknowledge you're a male slut/fuck boy. So don't think you'll be anything special if you find the right girl

Always loved arcades. We had a Namco arcade here that I went too ever since first grade. Worked there for a time in college in 2008. Closed then, as well. Felt right that I would be the one to wheel the machines out.

A few years back we had a Round 1 open an hour away, not exactly close but its a trip I'm willing to make. But ever since Covid they have heavily restricted business. No food, no alcohol, and no bowling. That has to be a sizeable chunk of business right there. A couple weeks ago I suited up and went over there and I was the only person there for the two hours I stayed that I could see. Had to get revenge on all my ghost battle losses you know.

You can pay latinas and asians to fuck you just about anywhere in 'Merica if you just want to move past it and help your confidence.

>tfw you're good looking and intense enough that women constantly mistake your complete and utter autism for being cool and aloof and think you're just playing hard to get until they're literally begging for your dick
>tfw they realize you actually are just retarded with crippling social anxiety
It's really not that hard.

How often do people win prizes in machines with phones or game consoles? What's the secret to winning?

Every barcade I've been to has one or two mame cabs already pre set up with a fancy front end like those "2000 in one games" arcade sticks from China sprinkled in with what I assume are reproductions of the usual arcade shit like Arcade1up stuff along with maybe a few original 80's and 90's cabs. It's definitely not legal but nobody seems to care enough to report it.

Sex is ok, not a big thing, you're not missing anything.
I think it feels better for the girls tho, my GF always looks like she's having a great time everytime we have sex.

Like all other anons says, the things you have to do and the time you have to spend to get a girl to have sex with you is not worth it.

Find a girl who share your hobbies, who actually loves you and won't be a bother once you start dating.
I am lucky enough to have a GF like that, we play videogames, watch anime, have sex, sleep, eat. and she's not calling me every hour to ask me where I am or what I am doing.

;_;

This is the issue I'm having w my current gf
She's had a couple of hookups but was my first. Absolutely adore her but it's hard to view us as being special because of it.

This is the worst advice i see given by slutty friends of mine who cant imagine what its like being a virgin.

No because ever since the gay virus started my local arcade has moved to an appointments model as opposed to the old "normal fucking arcade" model

my reflection in a dead screen lmao.

but at the old arcade I used to work at, we had this one "Kid" who was late 20's, wore nothing but hawaian shirts and fingerless gloves with cargo shorts play for thousands of tickets then clean us out of bouncy balls, never bounce them but just look through them and go on and on about how bouncy balls were his "Power source".
Yeah at the first one i worked at. Boss's wife blamed the ice cream freezer being unplugged on me and said all the ice cream melted so she took 75 out of my paycheck, so i took a hefty handfull of quarters out of one of the machines. One called "Smokin token". She was a piece of shit.Ended up cheating on the owner then running off and leaving him with the kids. I have never seen her not baked out of her mind. She looked like a great value brand Gone in 60 seconds Angelina jolie
I grew up playing DDR, then when a shitty dirt arcade opened up in my mall, i started chattingup the owner and landed a job. That closed and i applied at the one that replaced it.
Round 1 moved in and now i'm a mechanic there.
Some arcades do. Most not-DnB/R1s are running stepmania cabs. It also depends on the state. Some states don't give a fuck, some states will nail your nuts to a board and kick you down a hill. New Jersey and Florida come to mind.
>no bowling
GOD I COULD ONLY WISH!!!
You have to have hollywood "Superpower autism" to win those. They outlawed big prizes for those in my state, and corporate diddn't want to just put in tickets so we sent them away.

Honestly, don't go to arcades to "win it big". Go to arcades because you enjoy the games. Like Skeeball? Play skeeball. Like DDR? Play DDR. It's recreation, not a job.

>kid was about to beat the Simpsons arcade game
>died during the Mr Burns fight and ran out of tokens
>begging everyone to borrow a token
>didn't give him mine, instead put it in the Tekken 3 cabinet down the hall
>the side I put the token in had broken buttons
I'm still mad that I was too stupid to even try the Simpsons game. That's the only time I've ever seen that machine and it was in 2000.

This is a trick, never go for a chick into your hobbies, all of a sudden you will discover your hobby time becomes relationship time and then you'll be dragging a useless women though monster hunter because she thought the cats were cute

WHAT A DISGRACEFUL LIFE

They are set to payout every X number if plays.

>I think it feels better for the girls tho, my GF always looks like she's having a great time everytime we have sex.

Google the number of nerve endings in the penis. Now google the number of nerve endings inside of a vagina. You'll suddenly realise that girls get it way better than they let on.

Is this surprising? Average age of Zig Forums is 22 and people don't get married until they're 30

What R1 do you work at? I'm an autistic DRS player at STM.
