>Do you happen to have the PDF for "Nobody Died at Sandyhook"? It's been removed from the archive.
I do not. I wasn't even aware that, and I never read that.

I've heard rumors about The Internet Archive censoring things, but I don't know the full extent of their policies. These recordings are just Adam Lanza's philosophical rants on culture and conformity. He never said anything about wanting to kill anyone else but himself. They're just philosophical ramblings on anarcho-primitivism, anti-culture, and anti-natalism.

@xianc78 @djsumdog @PurpCat I believe Adam Lanza killed those kids. he seems like someone who would kill little kids and his mom. he may have been groomed by the feds but he certainly killed those kids.

@branman65 @djsumdog @xianc78 never forget

@PurpCat @branman65 @djsumdog @xianc78 I miss these arcade machines. You can only play them at an actual arcade. A theatre or restaurant or something will only have those gayass claw machines.

@Forestofenchantment @branman65 @djsumdog @xianc78 remember he's playing max 300 in the second video
also I saw an arcade in the yuppie mall with stepmania pro

@PurpCat @branman65 @djsumdog @xianc78 All the malls in my area closed And even they just had faggot overpriced claw machines that wanted 3 dollars for 15 seconds of gametime.

@Forestofenchantment @branman65 @djsumdog @xianc78 this was one of those outdoor malls with a small mall section that had the "classic" mall stores (hot topic, spencers, a few others, H&M, Old Navy, etc.) and mostly resturants

@Forestofenchantment @PurpCat @djsumdog @branman65 There are still malls in my area but the arcades in them are empty (in terms of people).

Though claw machine and stack type games seemed to fall out of fashion. They made sense back when it was a luxury to own something like a smartphone or even an iPod Touch which is why they were popular choices for prizes, but everyone owns those things now.

@xianc78 @PurpCat @djsumdog @branman65 My local restaurant used to have a "retro" style arcade machine. But replaced with a claw game with pitiful prizes like phone cases. Once again, absolutely not worth the $5 price for one game.

@xianc78 @Forestofenchantment @djsumdog @branman65 claw machines here have plushes now as those are back in vogue

@Forestofenchantment @PurpCat @djsumdog @branman65 Arcade games should've taken a page from F-Zero AX (connectivity with console games via memory cards) to keep themselves relevant.

@xianc78 @Forestofenchantment @djsumdog @branman65 the big issue I see with new arcade games is they're literally all slop. There's no passion or interest they're all dialed in games made to make maximum profit for a while. Some are literally ported mobile games even...

To add to this, arcades also serve as "ticket casinos" for kids and on top of that the only segment where anything interesting happens now is Pinball, and that only happened after the early 2010s revival when other startup companies decided to make machines too.

@PurpCat @Forestofenchantment @djsumdog @branman65 Yeah, I'm well aware of the Flappy Bird and Fruit Ninja cabinets, but I never see anyone play those.

The only new arcade games with any effort put in to them seem to be Japan-only, but it seems to be mostly rhythm games.

I was mostly talking about the 6th gen when arcade games truly started to decline and consoles still primarily used memory cards. It would've at least incentivize people to go to arcades because they could unlock and download new content for their console games that way.

@xianc78 @Forestofenchantment @djsumdog @branman65 oh there's lots of pinball now they even made one for @dcc

@PurpCat @xianc78 @branman65 @dcc @djsumdog The pinball revival fills me with joy knowing that arcades won't die in our lifetime. BTW, has the Willy Wonka table been released yet? Seems interesting.

@Forestofenchantment @branman65 @dcc @djsumdog @xianc78 came out years ago the local pinball arcade has one along with some other weird shit

@PurpCat @branman65 @dcc @djsumdog @xianc78 Ah, thought it wasn't out yet because I've never seen one in person.
