i know this will probably never exist bc capitalism but one thing i wish existed was like... simulator arcades. like you've seen those photos of ppl with elaborate flight sim or truck sim rigs-- i don't have the money or space for that but if i could go and play for a couple hours at a place? i'd be there every week

we had the fallout shelter arcade in MN, which was like a dozen networked battletech pods in a literal fallout shelter. they'd do parties and also haul the pods out for conventions, it was pretty rad. sadly their last post is about a move and was a couple years ago so i don't know if they're still going.

I got to use these in their original setup like 3 times. They were so cool and I loved that the control panel buttons actually let you adjust systems, but the sessions were so quick you couldn’t really get good at it

Yeah! My fav memory is that once at the north pier location same navy guys on leave asked for the worst weather conditions(night, fog, rain I think), but luckily I figured out how to swap the main view into IR/Nightvision mode and got so many kills.
