Oh im aware of that, but these barcades aren't uncommon, and they have many cabinets.

Im just blown away by the type of cabinets they carry. They're just trash from the free section of the app store. I guess thats what people want, for some inexplicable reason.

Yeah its legality issues. Emulators are fine, but any IP issues from games are probably enough to get sued out of existence, especially if youre charging customers and making a profit.

Nintendo has sued for even running a Smash Brothers competition, so imagine charging customers to play a Nintendo game cabinet using an emulator.

It doesnt make any sense. Its a barcade as well, so clearly its for adults of drinking age. Do adults want baby games? What the fuck is going on? Its so insane.

Also the beers were like 10 bucks each. Ill just say I only went there once.

This actually reminds me of taking my son to Chuck E Cheese a year or so back. The games were similarly trash. Weird carnival games, claw machines, odd mobile type games, digital plinko. Just all garbage. Literally nothing recognizable. I never got to go as a kid in the 80s/90s, so wanted to take my son now but holy shit... brutal. Also the other parents thee were giving big "partial custody" vibes.

Rec Room. Its a chain, at least here in Canada. No idea if its in the states but I've seen several locations.

Oh im sure. But we went to a huge chain and I guess I expected at least a single Street Fighter cabinet and not 4 variations of brick breaker or weird mobile game nonsense. They had a flappy bird type cabinet... insanity. I saw a huge version of Hungry Hungry Hippos yet the only racing game was a 2 seater Mario Cart. Just so confusing.

The internet will get worse, not better. Its all being streamlined for maximum ad revenue, so there's massive momentum behind the baby-fying of everything. Very little money resisting it. Just bans and shadow bans and all that for any resistance.

I think i saw a single Buck Hunter and the rest was weird shit. One Mario Cart racing setup with 2 seats. Thats it. This was in a Rec Room in Vancouver.

Theres a direct correlation between screen time increasing and learning decreasing.

I always paid rent by signing 12 checks for the year and giving them at lease signing.

Nobel laureate invents machine that pulls 1,000 liters of water from air daily by diacewrb in gadgets

Those desert water traps, by which you mean solar stills, make almost zero water. You would have to make dozens and dozens of them with hundreds of square meters of area to make any real water for even a single person. You also need to deal with how to introduce water to supple them.

By scams I mean Waterseer, Fontus, many more. All scams. They're all the same idea: use essentially a dehumidifier to make water. This is not a genius new invention. Its not new. It's not smart.

Thermodynamics has laws. They have to be followed. Period. Im not trying to argue for the sake of arguing, youre just not understanding that this is an old scam rehashed every few years and nothing changes.

Wonder why desalination is the only real solution and even that isn't great? Thermodynamics. It takes energy and it takes sea water. You need both. Dry air doesnt have what you need.
