    I think they're asking what to do at an arcade if you're drunk and your husband is playing dancing games.

      They are so expensive though. Another pint will last longer, find a cheap pub.

      Fuck... Where in the US are the games more expensive than the pints?

      Follow-up question, can you go somewhere else?

          The machine is kinda busted so you can't play with him. Drinking more is an option.

            I don't live in the US, while each game may be slightly less than a pint they are also over much faster. Never seen anywhere that has multiple options for arcades.

              Yeah. Stern is one of the few companies making new tables, and the stuff they produce these days is all about making an account and tracking your games with QR codes. They even have a few where there is a kind of meta-game that you play across multiple rounds. Not really my thing.

              A friend of mine got a summer job working a pinball joint, so I've learned to appreciate the game a lot more recently. Helps to have an inside person giving me free plays.

              Those Stern games still play if you don't make an account, though.

              Source: My local Godzilla machine has consumed many of my toonies, but I refuse to make an account out of principle. Still really fun though.

                OK, you have a point on Godzilla, that machine is pretty fun. I also enjoyed playing John Wick despite my prejudice.

                  Drink more, dance on the 2nd player pad with more freedom than he can since my side doesn't work. Insist that I won. Say, "it's ok, the bar isn't the only thing you'll be humping* tonight" with a wink, in an effort to go home because idk what else to do in this barcade.

                  *I call the folks that play DDR while holding onto the rail bar humpers. Idk if this is common.

                    Fair enough. And I may be spoiled living where I do, Boston is a pretty nerdy area, so we've got a bunch of options around. There's also a place up in Salem and another in Providence with no door charge and the games are free. They seem to make plenty of money on drinks and food.
