Arcades are failing because you touch yourself at night.
actually Itagaki has a much better explanation of why the Arcades died out. Lemme see if I can dig it up.
edit:
here it goes.

I’m surprised they let Shogo open the arcade at all. I remember reading that LA county was passing legislation to stop renewing licenses for arcades. This was a year or so ago, so my mind’s a little fuzzy…
At least there’s a couple of arcade operators in Cali that give a shit about catering to all of their customers. The local owners only seem to care about the non-gamers shoving tokens into the redemption machines…
All silliness aside, I do agree with you.
I don’t understand why this was put in GD for everyone to shit on it. This is specifically related to the SoCal area. Also Scott is a great man.
So either support terrorists in the Middle East or corrupt governments in South America, what a super choice.
All silliness and bullshit aside, the problem with corrupt forces snuffing out undesirable businesses is something that will always be a factor. Unless we get people of like mind into positions of power to try to make change into our own favor. So if anyone on SRK is reputable in their own neighborhoods to get elected to positions of power don’t avoid it, you may one day be able to make in roads for something.
Unless you turn corrupt and I mean corrupt in the bad way, not the good way that so many of us already are.
this wasnt really about “arcades” in general dying out, but why arcades in the Los Angeles area getting shafted. Moving this thread out of the regional forum kinda put it out of context.
I still think it should move back to Pac south. but oh well
You curtsy when you flush?
Not only is that highly and ineffably effeminate, but very possibly mentally harmful and delusional for thinking the toilet is a literal throne and believing an aristocratic figure of great relevance and social standing sits upon it when you drain your urine and fecal matter from it.
Nigga you hella fuckin’ crazy.
I can’t help but think that all this is related to what caused SHGL to close down, but from what I hear it was in danger of shutting down way before that, so… yeah. I wouldn’t go as far as to say nimbys run the city, but they sure make a lot of noise.
I thought I played fighting games but this kid ShinRaven told me that it’s for “pretend” after trying to sell me his broken dc so does that count?
Pretending to play is closer than not pretending, am I right?
I’m hungry, what’s that best muffin out there? Something under 5 bucks (Jew here).
In all seriousness, power corrupts and a person in position of power isn’t as strong as some may think and there are many other “influences” as well.
I don’t know who sells 5 muffins, can’t help you squeeze a quarter, but apple raisin cinnamon is good.
why gd of all the douche bag places?
shoulda left it in south pac
becuase it doesnt really pertain to matchmaking. it doesnt even pertain to fighting games. plus it was made with denjin arcade in mind, which already has its own thread. the point coulda been made there…
Could you put it in that thread? Makes a lot more sense than here.
…is because noone goes to fuckin arcades no more.
If you build it, they will come.
Keep doing this, GD. Keep doing this so that I will have less motivation to come back and actually start going out more…I’m really tempted to end my GD times with my idea of racial typos, to go out with a bang so to speak.
Sucks about the arcade. The whole thing with property value going down because of arcades can probably be attributed to the stereotypical arcade owner; i.e., doesn’t care about riff-raff (marvel players), drug usage is don’t ask don’t tell, opening late in the night, and all the problems that come with late-night venues, etc. If only Dave and Busters had more SF…but that would shut out the scene under the age of 21 so yeah…tough times.
Isn’t there any recourse? Could the FFA owner appeal…? Anything?
The thread was not just pertaining to Denjin Arcade. The Point was definitely not about denjin arcade.
So is it Discussion and Matchmaking? Discussion or Matchmaking? Or just Matchmaking?
Vote people out of office? Start a Political Action Committee?
Don’t baby your thread. It’s in GD now…
This thread would probably do better in FGD.
