there is nothing fundementally wrong with a barcade. People that came up with them just miss the days of their youth where they'd go to the roller rink or bowling alley and waste quarters on shooting zombies or aliens while disco or rock played in the background. I miss the cheap pizza and burgers

>>17347934
Your right...but, People who think barcades are amazing but think dave and busters is lame are insufferable pricks

>>17347895
Yes. Think of it as a Dave & Buster's but focusing on multiplayer arcade games instead of shitty prize ticket games.

It's okay. The problem is if you have more than 4 people in your group, you're either watching your friends play or the group splits to play other games.

There's a board game bar by me that's superior to the barcade since they have games and tables set up for groups bigger than 4 people

>>17347962
Sounds based.
Is it set up for DnD at all?

>>17347895
Arcade games aren’t fun unfortunately after a certain age

At this point I’m convinced that a lot of soyjack memes are just angry projections of angry people who don’t ever go anywhere or do anything. The barcade one in particular.

I have a great local one. The drinks are cheap, and all machines are free-play. At least the video games are; pinball machines cost quarters because it goes toward maintenance. But I don’t care because fuck pinball.

>Is it just a bar or do they serve food there too?
The one I go to doesn’t serve food, but that’s actually a plus because they let you eat whatever while you’re in there.
Bring food, order delivery to their address, they don’t give a shit. It works out because there’s basically anything you could want within a few mins walk.
So I can have cheap alcohol, whatever food I want, and play free-credit arcade games.
Which is why I don’t get the soyjack. For someone to think that sounds like a shitty way to spend some free time, they’d have to be an incomprehensibly colossal faggot.

>>17347970
They have DnD there, but I guess the problem is you have to bring your own dungeon master or whoever controls the action.

They have pic rel, which is pretty fun and good for teams

>>17347979
Which one of these two resembles you?

>>17347934
Grow up

anyone been to one of those axe bars? seems interesting but i don't trust the other people there. i don't want to be drinking and then get an axe in my back

>>17347979
What state do you live in? By law you can't bring food into any bar where I live, and last I checked every bar also had to offer food. I know my state is one of the most bizarre when it comes to alcohol laws but everything else seems wacky due to that

>>17347999
Relax, zoomer. Those games are older than you. They aren’t meant for you.
Someday you’ll be going to a Fortnite bar.

>>17347979
You fail to understand that drinking at a bar and playing arcade games are both faggot retard behavior.

>>17347934
I would have said "based old guy" but you decided to post a girl from a Japanese cartoon

>>17348020
Kel triggered tranny

>>17347895
Yes. I went to one that is near one of my gyms with some friends and the food was actually excellent. Its literally in the middle of BIPOC-ville and there was nobody else in there. I dont drink or care for arcade games so I dont know how the actual barcade portion of it was.

>>17348011
i'm sure that happens all that time lol

>>17348033
So what would cool guy smart chad behavior be? Please I have to know! I can't be a faggot retard! My mom would be so mad at me! What would the neighbors think? Please I need your help! help me!

>>17347895

>no fun allowed

>>17348019
They do technically offer food. Like literally a hot pocket, to comply with the law.
I’m more curious which state you live in. I’ve never heard of laws against bringing food to an establishment if the establishment doesn’t care.
Admittedly they’re a bit unique in that they don’t care, which is why I like it.
Many others will offer some shit overpriced food and it’s that or nothing.
But to answer your question I currently live in Nashville.

>>17348041
>Kel
I don’t speak zoomlet. But I’m touched by your attempt to communicate like people :)

>17348036
Says the subhuman sonic fag
Kill yourself

The Barcade in the city I used to live in and the Barcade in my hometown only serve alcohol. They're pretty cool places. Drinks are usually overpriced af, but it's fun to get out and be social around something the younger generation are heavily invested it. I used to kick people's ass at vanilla Tekken 5 while sipping Whiskey Sours.

Shame my hometown Barcade has gone to absolute shit by the time I moved back. Half the games don't work or are single player only due to broken hardware.

>>17348011
We've got one in my city called Axeholes. Planning on giving it a whirl next time my best friend is in town. Looks like a lot of fun.

>>17348063
I'm in Utah
I just looked it up, I guess it's not a state thing but a county thing, but I have never been in a single bar in this state that allowed you to bring in food.
But Unless you go to an establishment that has the state mandated "this is a bar" sign you can't order alcohol until you have ordered food. Also no home delivery or mail delivery of alcohol of any kind and our cocktails are limited to 1.5oz
The only thing slightly in your favor as far as booze is the unicorn lotteries. Since all of our liquor stores are state owned and there is a mandatory mark up of 88% on all alcohol purchases that also means shit like pappy van winkle can't be sold for more or less than that 88% mark up so you'll actually get it cheaper than a lot of places if you win a chance in the lottery

>>17348106
Makes sense. Utah is a predominantly Morgan state and Mormons are weird fucks who won't settle for anything less than safe, wholesome family fun.

>>17348126
Unless it gives them private access to kids, because holy shit there are a lot of kiddy diddlers in this state. Like an astonishing amount. I have three in my immediate family

>>17348106
TN has some fucktarded alcohol/bar laws too; they must offer something to eat (but it doesn’t have to be sold, they could give it for free if they want), and underage are allowed to enter (but not drink) unless the bar allows smoking, in which case you have to be 21 to walk through the door, plus other assorted bullshit.
It wasn’t until a few years ago you could buy wine in grocery stores. It was beer-only.

>>17348095
Perfect name for a tranny hotspot

>>17348145
Oh I'm aaware. I don't live in a Mormon heavy state, but I worked with a Mormon for 3 years and when I saw him interact with his "Elder", I said to my other coworkers "Oh that guy knows the inside of his asshole like the back of his hand."

Hands down the strangest interaction I've ever seen between a 20 something year old and a 50 year old man.

>>17348174
Thank God my town is mostly Republican. The trannies don't usually go out and if they do, they're gawker at like some zoo attraction.

>>17348174
I'd say obsessed...but honestly for once that was fucking funny and used in an intelligent way. Thanks friend, I laughed

>>17348191
Yeah I know exactly what you are talking about. And if you have a mormon temple in your area I promise that 50 year old has felt up more than his fair share.
They have an older man and woman that ritually washes all the young people the first time they come into the temple

Never been to a barcade, but the sports bar in my neighborhood has Twilight Zone pinball and a golf game. In the back they have a volleyball court too.

They also serve pastrami sandwiches and wings

>>17348011
The staff is pretty on the ball at the one I went to. It was fun, not something I'd want to do all the time though

>>17348145
My GFs family is mormon and the family tree is full of kiddy diddlers and incest, shit is wild

>>17348240
Thank fuck we don't. Jesus christ, it sounds like a constitutionally protected rape ring.

Makes me sick.

>>17348261
At around age 12 all morning girls get put in a closed room with the bishop who asks them about their masturbation habits, sometimes in great detail.

If you're a good little Mormon girl then you get into a gown and go into a fountain on the back of 12 golden oxen and the bishop summons the spirits of the unbaptised dead to inhabit your body so they can ask it to accept their religion and be baptized.

Tl;Dr bishops get kicks asking little girls if they masturbate to make sure they're sufficiently virginal to act as spirit mediums for Mormon necromancy

>>17348282
Whoops, forgot the pick.

Best part of Mormon afterlife as a man is you get to practice afterlife polygamy with all the good Mormon women and they pump out spirit babies for eternity so you can populate your own planet as a god

>>17348261
It's pretty fucked up, they control the Utah state government though so they act like a bunch of sanctimonious pricks because there aren't enough people to vote them out. I'm honestly convinced that the only reason Utah natives hate Californians moving here because eventually there will be enough people to kick the mormons out of state politics and then It'll have to behave like a normal state.
At least weeds legal

>>17348304
>>17348291
>>17348282
Jesus fuck. I always knew someone so "wholesome and family oriented" had been indoctrinated into some truly fucked up shit.

Thanks for giving me the no bs ru down of Mormonism. I couldn't imagine how truly awful it must be to be raised in that kind of religion.

>>17348011
Pretty sure when I lived up north half the people at the firing range were loaded. With more than ammunition. There were no shootings. The only person to get into trouble was a fucking range officer. Hopefully retards can handle axes.

>>17348291
Mormons can keep their celestial kingdom, why the fuck would I want to spend eternity with multiple wives? One can be bad enough sometimes

>>17347895
The only acceptable bar combinations are restaurants and cinemas. Prove me wrong.

>>17348291
>you get to practice afterlife polygamy with all the good Mormon women and they pump out spirit babies for eternity so you can populate your own planet as a god
well shit.
I must say that’s the best damn afterlife sales pitch I’ve ever heard.
But do they have to be Mormon women?
I mean if I’m the god of my afterlife-planet, shouldn’t I get to pick?
Or would I just be some sort of lieutenant-god, and the commander-in-chief Mormon god gets to say “Lol no, only Mormon women”?
If it’s the latter, my planet will straight up declare independence.
I don’t give a fuck. Freedom ain’t free. Mormon-god can try to take it. Because I’ll have already let a ton dead German and Soviet rocket scientists come settle on my planet, and the space-based defense systems surrounding it will be robust as fuck.

>>17348291
Reeks of Moloch.

>>17348314
Yeah they have a lot of money to sink into PR and lawsuits so they keep a pretty scrubbed image. Of course the growing number of ex mormons is making that difficult

nothing wrong with barcades. the ones where the machines are almost all free if you buy drinks are really nice. if you want something to do besides shooting the shit with your mates they're great

>>17348348
i think youre biased, theres got to be something good about mormons. they have lots of sex though dont they
like some of the highest birthrates in the country
if theyre getting laid more than anyone else then i think a lot of the mormon haters are just angry incels

>>17348343
They have to be Mormon, Specifically they become Trad Wife Latter Day Saints that only exist to get pregnant. But you still have to pay tribute to Elohim on his home planet of Kolob. If you rise against him you'll either go to one of the other heavens or spirit prison depending on your crime.
For instance Mormons believe that black people had the curse of cain. And the real reason they have it is because they didn't help jesus fight his brother lucifer when they were spirit babies. Black People couldn't hold mormon priesthood until 1978.
Also in order to get your own planet You have to have paid the mandatory 10 percent tithe on your entire life income, be a missionary and work in the temple when you are retired

>>17348364
Honestly no not a lot of sex, just lots of babies. I had 3 other siblings in my family and it was considered small. I have 37 first cousins that are still alive.

>>17348050
Drinking at home with your friends and doing something less "genx nostalgia homo" flavored than playing arcade games.

>>17348375
got it. ps5 and discord with the homies. That's chad shit. thanks bro. If we do get together in person is it still cool to kiss them goodnight or should I skip that part and just cup their bulge?

>>17348375
But what if you aren’t a zoomlet?

>>17348343
>Or would I just be some sort of lieutenant-god
It's like a MLM, you were recruited by Elohim from planet Kolob and he was in turn recruited by someone else and so-forth etc. You still have to worship him but your creations will in turn worship you and so-on.

>do they have to be Mormon women?
Yes, though admittedly I'm unsure if they have to be unmarried at death. "Good" mormon wives "sealed" to their husbands are supposed to stay with them for all eternity, so presumably their sealed husbands won't share them in the afterlife on different planets.

>>17348036
>doesn't instantly recognize shindol
You have much to learn, newfriend.

>>17348347
It's not even that subtle.

Pic related, recently deprecated oath ritual that promises execution if you leak their secret signs (handshakes and rituals and such)

Joseph Smith was a freemason I kid you not, and tons of the rituals were directly lifted. Even the temple garments look basically the same as the masonic apron. And I'm not joking about the secret handshakes.

(The Funeral Potatoes are bomb though)

>>17348411
Growing up in Utah with Mormon family anytime anyone starts talking about Mormon Cosmology always sounds like someone is just blatantly making up shit. It doesn't help that the Original creator of Battlestar Galactica was a mormon that named their planet Kolob

>>17347954
Dave and Busters is lame though. When's the last time you went to that or Round One? Almost every game in there is a larger version of something women play on their phones.

>>17348453
I mean yeah it sucks now, but in five years all of those barcades are going to suck just as much or be closed

>>17348453
I think that idea is an age thing.
>>17348474
How do you figure?
Do ~30yo games suddenly turn to shit when they’re ~35yo?

>>17347895
this reeks of npc bitterness

>>17348525
In a way yeah. Those machines take pretty regular maintenance and repair. Maintaining these machines gets more expensive as less people are around skilled in doing this and the electronic parts are getting harder to replace.
Most of the time maintenance slows down or stops completely on these and then you have a dark bar filled with dead or half working arcade machines.
Dave and Busters switching to ticket games was purely for profit reasons. People spend a greater amount on them and repairs are typically easier and at least the tech running them is modern and cheap.

>>17348550
Nah man. It’s all good.
Those machines are a ton easier to maintain than you think. It’s all solid state, and the only real wear and tear parts are the sticks/buttons, which have countless replacements available because they are standardized parts and there are tons of manufacturers still making them to those standards.
The only thing that really can’t be replaced 1:1 are CRT’s, but in this case they just swap in an led panel.
There are good and shitty “vintage” arcades/barcades. The good ones operate in such a way that they can afford this maintenance, or just keep someone on staff to handle it.
The actual electronics in those games were overbuilt and rarely fuck up, and were designed to be fixable when it did happen. People who know how to test/fix a PCB aren’t in short supply. An arcade PCB isn’t any different than any other.

Of course there are a few caveats; “gimmick” games that utilized things like weird proprietary internals or laserdisc players and whatnot are a lot more difficult to keep running.
But a standard arcade cabinet with standard “JAMMA” internals? It’s all good.

>>17348291
The cognitive dissonance in this picture is amazing. Mormons believe that Christ is the one true Son of God. They have a picture of their messiah, the embodiment of all anyone could ever hope, but always fail, to compare themselves with being baptized in a dirty river in the wilderness. For their own baptisms they have constructed a tasteless artifice that not even the most debauched Kings of France, or Roman Emperors could have imagined.

Fucking perfect photograph.

>>17348586
>not even the most debauched Kings of France, or Roman Emperors could have imagined
Yeah but you gotta admit it would look right at home as the bathtub for some Arab oil-prince.

>>17348586
You'd think they could at least make their temple garments look less goofy

>>17347895
I got banned from the local barcade for stealing quarters. I really don't talk about it.

>>17347950
Went to one of those for a party recently.
Grim stuff. Basically no good games, shitty gift shop, not even good drinking.

>>17348621
Just tell us if it was other people's quarters, or quarters from the machines.

>>17348395
Doesn't matter. A sports bar where boomers to go relive their college football days is just as gay. Get over it.

>>17348817
machines

>>17348453
Round One in the PNW has to appeal to the Japanese market though, so they always have some decent stuff. And you get to watch the ultra sweatlord DDR pros.

>>17348897
Yeah but what if I’m not an angry little zoomlet?
