      You go for the weird Star Wars arcade game and the scary animatronics

      That feel when you want the weird Star Wars arcade game and the scary animatronics but Chuck-E-Cheese is no more sicko-wistful

        Yeah those kinds of places can’t survive when working people have no disposable income. It’s part of what’s driving all the isolation and lonliness. All the free third places are long gone except libraries, and many of the paid third places are collapsing because there isn’t enough disposable income going around to keep them open. People stay home and doomscroll because they already paid for the phone plan and can’t afford to do anything else.

        The ghost kitchen is at least priced competitively with other low-rent pizza joints. Last time I went to a Chuck E Cheese the pizzas were like $10 each and worse than Little Caesars.
