Reply to comment by Dbol504 in "Adult Game Lounge" next to Arby's on Campbell: What is it? by Cloud_Disconnected

That's what I was leaning towards, using Bradshaw's Razor for my reasoning: "In Springfield, the most depressing and mundane answer is likely the correct one."

If you check it out and it's more "adult" than that please report back immediately.... for informational purposes only

Old video games would have been more my speed, but if I check it out I'll be sure to let you know so you can organize a protest with your church group.

Thanks. I think we can take a break from our weekend protesting downtown to go to another den of sin.

We were right. It's just sad people in a dark room throwing money away.

Judgmental much

Not really. People should be able to do what they want with their money. As long as it's not hurting anyone, I don't care.

But the people I've seen playing those machines at gas stations don't typically seem happy and full of life to me, hence why I called them sad.

As someone who worked a crazy late shift, I have a soft spot for them. I don't like to gamble myself, but at least half the places still open when I get off work are open for the VLC machines. If I want a snack on my way home, I go to the Sinclair with the VLC. The only head shop I go to is Smoke Science because they're open late for VLC users. (Admittedly that one's pretty uncommon these days. So tired of scanning QR codes to find alt cannabis products that aren't scary.) If there was a grocery store open until 2am for VLC players, I'd be there once a week minimum. I don't even like to gamble with fake money in video games, but if someone else can have fun keeping a store open late for me, I'll take it.

I don't really have an opinion on them either way, I was just hoping it was something cooler than that. Like something I might find fun.
