A tweet saying “Six Male Personalities Of Modern Men Explained: (which one are you?) Read the thread. " It has a picture of some of these, the first one is “alpha male”.It has a cartoonish picture of a guy in a suit. The next is “Beta male”. This shows a person wearing a blazer, with a sneer on their face. The one after this is “Delta Male”. This shows a guy in a plain white t-shirt. Next is a “Gamma male” It shows a guy in a red-and-black striped tshirt, with long hair. The next one is an “Omega Male” It shows a person with short black hair, glasses and suspenders.” The last one is a “Sigma male” It shows a guy with sunglasses and a leather jacket."
I have a theory that there’s a growing market for third space gaming lounges. All those empty office spaces could be converted to row couches and TVs with Gamecubes.
The market was never large or mainstream enough before when gamers were just nerds. Now? I think there’s a calling for a public living room.
People no longer want to leave their homes to game, hence the death of most arcades
Interestingly, there’s a small arcade chain that’s pretty popular around my area. They specialize in retro games and have a wide selection, and from what I’ve seen they get pretty packed on weekends with people of all ages. They have stations of classic consoles (great if you want to play with a group), along with traditional arcade games and pinball. They do tournaments, birthday parties, and other events as well.
Not that it denies the trend, but it shows that there’s definitely some interest out there for a gaming/“public living room” kind of place.
Walmart still has arcades. Mostly claw machines, and you know how the man-o-verse loves claw machines with fluffy things!!!
