[@sarahjones7954]

I love the atmosphere of the coin game. It's the arcade nostalgia mixed with an ominous feeling of being in a Truman show situation. Would love to see more bizarre virtual worlds

[@MrDobbysock]

The coin game is so strange. The world is dark and dimly lit, and the lack of humans in such a large world makes you feel so alone. But somehow it manages to feel so comfy and relaxing? Also this video was great, I'd be cool with more videos like this, but anything in the arcade series is entertaining

[@Vonias]

It's like a reverse uncanny valley. Creepy, but not enough to be actively threatening, and too blatantly "off" to be that unsettling can't put your finger on it vibe. Things are weird, but you *can* nail down exactly why, and nothing really seems to pose a threat so you end up with this cozy surreal in between.

[@HaydenX]

@@Vonias Stranger in a land that stands both in diametric opposition to your needs as a human, but is somehow entirely accommodating at the same time. It's a similar feeling to using the bathroom at a doctor's office...it stands both extant to you with the foreboding nature of medical fears while also being a comfort. The whole game also has sort of a survival-horror vibe with the setting that also provides a sense of unsettling nostalgia. I always feel like a child playing the game even though I'm 34...everything feels bigger than I am again...adventure awaits in a sea of liminal and unsettling spaces. The Coin Game is one of the very few truly unique experiences one can have in modern gaming.

[@yorchXP]

As much as Majora's Mask is considered a creppy game, just like with Coin Game, I also find its uncanniness cozy and relaxing

[@aymuhspunj]

I think it puts that feeling of wandering off in the arcade and just playing games by yourself. Its just you and the games, everyone else is just some being that's there too who may or may not block your way at times.

This is the closest Germany will ever come to having an actual arcade, and that makes me sad.

[@doubtful_seer]

Don’t feel too sad. I live in the us and our city’s last actual arcade closed in the early 90s. The one I grew up with was inside another business, and even it closed about… oh god… 20 years ago. Oh _god…._

[@dogshake]

@@doubtful_seer Theyre coming back in a way, a few have popped up around chicago. I think its gotten old enough to be cool again.

[@doubtful_seer]

@@dogshake the large cities always get the fun stuff. The larger cities in my state have had arcades open and some that never shut down. It's just us small cities and towns that never get or keep anything good. Hell, we can't even keep a good coffee shop.

[@dogshake]

@@doubtful_seer yeah that a bigger issue for sure. The class divide is growing, and with that, businesses that were in small towns either have to close, or move to an urbanized area. And when enough businesses move, the people will move with it. The idea of an "American" small town is getting its life slowly squeezed from it, it's just not sustainable. Cities are growing and wealth is moving. Is there a balance between keeping small towns/rural communities alive, while also sustaining a big city? Japan, the netherlands, and Germany have been able to do it.

[@doubtful_seer]

@@dogshake all I know is that I’m already being priced out of being able to afford to live in the small city I was born in. Not difficult when I have to survive on eight thousand dollars per year because I’m disabled though. The people who move to the larger towns are the lucky ones. There are so many who get left behind because we can’t afford to move.

Fun fact, I actually just realised that One-Eyed Billie's looks to be modeled after a real life arcade located in the UK called Coral Island. It's in the centre of Blackpool, an archetypal British seaside town with a ton of arcades and Coral Island is absolutely worth a visit for the theming alone.

[@styno9295]

Now that's a fun fact!

[@talloncusack]

Lol, I thought it took place in Michigan because of the Michigan DNR poster and the sand dunes and the look of the little strip mall/party store area that you pass on your way to the arcade. Maybe everyone thinks it’s where they grew up (or somewhere they’ve been) because it’s just generally nostalgic…or maybe you’re right and it is supposed to be that specific place.

[@invisiblebears]

I work at an arcade. Cyclone can be set with the payout timer but it can also be set to be played on "skill", you can actually win if you time it right. The only thing that changes is that when it gets close to the jackpot, it's speeds up briefly. Making it pretty difficult to hit but totally possible if you get your timing right. The jackpot gets smaller and smaller the more times you got it. It goes up the more times you miss it.
