the decline of arcades here is depressing. genuinely fun place to hang out with like-minded friends. we still have lan party places, but some of those just floated away like so much vapor. if you want to shop at walmart, you're covered pretty much wherever. joy.
the last time i wanted anything like a gaming room was in my 20s. seeing how obnoxiously bright cold cathode was cured me of that, and the electronics industry's unholy addiction to blue LEDs maintains that distaste.
it's still not something i'd mind in a media room. a cabinet with old consoles and a modest CRT could be fun. i have a couple NES cartridges floating around FFS. it's just that it would go into the same room as my musical instruments, books, and radio shack detritus. i can't see myself building a wall-to-wall stack of funko pops.
one of my neighbors had a gaming room, i think. it could be like 3am and purple light or some RGB cycle would be flooding their back yard from out their window. that's got to do some crazy stuff to the brain.
