Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum is an insanely cool collection of vintage and antique animatronics, pinball machines, arcade cabinets, penny-arcades, nickelodeons, and a million other creepy-cool-crazy old coin-op contraptions from yesteryear. It's a one-of-a-kind exhibit and I love that it's right here in Michigan. If that sounds cool to you, please consider signing the petition linked above. Here are a couple local news stories that sum up this delightful slice of mechanized whimsy and automated buffoonery:

(went bowling today wow my thumb is still sore I can never find the right ball)

Imagine going bowling with your f/o. Would they try and have fun while playing? Or would they take it more seriously, keeping an eye on their score.

Imagine them cheering you on! Whether you're good or bad at playing, whether the ball gets you a strike or it goes right in the gutter, they'll tell you how great you're doing, they might even be your own little coach, helping you play better and better.

Imagine getting some bowling alley food. Sharing a pizza, or maybe a basket of fries, mozzarella sticks.

Played all your games? Does that alley have a little arcade? Imagine playing some of those with your f/o. Maybe trying your hand at those claw machines, trying to win a little plush for your f/o. Hopefully you walk out without spending all your money, oh well, at least you had a fun few hours with your love.

You ever see something that is meant to be like...an overgeneralized statement for the sake of entertainment or comedy and not at all serious but it's about YOUR special interest and you are just sitting there trying not to explode with an entire explanation of why it's such an overgeneralized statement and the depth of the topic

#spitblaze says things #like. im not about to shame anyone about this. i WANT more people to be interested in video games as a storytelling medium #and calling someone a fucking casual about it Does Not Help #but it IS still a big big overgeneralization to say that all games in the 80s were simple arcade style deals #adventure games came into being in the 80s! maniac mansion and kings quest and snatcher! all 80s titles!#if we wanna go back even further the first Ultima game was 1979! as soon as we had the technology to make more narrative and complex games #we DID #obviously we see more of that now because its the easiest its ever been to make video games and put infinite thought and resources into #worldbuilding and narrative #and YEAH most 70s and 80s games were simple bc uh. our computers werent that good yet lol #but like. oh my god dragon quest and final fantasy 1 came out a year apart in thr 80 #do not tell me it was all run jump get the coin lol
