How much cringe am I in for? Is this a hipster thing?

you drink with all the other autists and try not to talk to fat chicks. honestly more fun to just drink and play with your friends at home

fpbp

If your coworkers even suggested going to a barcade then their power level is extremely low and I advice you to avoid interacting with them in any way.

me on the right

They serve drinks and have arcade machines lining the walls

Don't listen to this faggot

last one I went to had a weird ratio of young people drinking and having fun and old dudes drinking and playing the old arcade games. strange crowd

Is this pic real?

Depends. Most barcades I've seen are mostly just scrapyards for old cabs that haven't received maintenance since the Clinton years, but supposedly there exist some that have newer units from Japan and aren't just overrated dives. The drink prices aren't usually too bad though, and occasionally there's some fun to be had playing old fightan games against randoms.

i've been to barcades in china and seattle, and they were all extremely awkward. i remember wanting to open one as a teen because it was the best idea ever (tm) and now all i can think about is how lucky i am i never dug myself that hole.

add-a-ball is the definition of a fucking dive.

They had a 90s themed barcade near where i live. I thought it would be people my age but it was full of hipsters who were there "ironically". Never saw so much pink hair and waxed facial hair in my life. If i were the owner of that place i would have chained the doors shut and burned it down.

I wipped my dick out at one on a dare.
I also pissed on a gas station at noon on a sunny day.

Yes, here's the kid on the right

It's shopped for whatever reason. But the original shirts were also memes.

damn, i couldn't even remember the name of that place but looking it up it's definitely the one i went to. there were some nice girls there, but i was too drunk and awkward to make small talk. also, seattle freeze.

First off, don't come to Yea Forums for social advice. Secondly, it's a just a bar with some arcade cabinets put in. It's not really any more cringe than any other bar, which is to say incredibly cringey in a socially acceptable way. Have a couple beers, have some conversation, if you're good at a certain game it's okay to show off, but don't look down on any of the machines.

how the fuck is this gaming related

Willing to bet those kid's parents are the ones that post here and gave them those shirts

the original use the 2009 ragecomics memes

Barcades I have been to were either dive bars trying to pretend to be arcades with old machines or hipster bars with old machines to be retro.

what the fuck are you talking about

What the fuck is a ''barcade''?

I went to one near my house thinking how cool it sounded.it was basically a bar with a bunch of old arcade games. It was filled with niggers and whores and turned into a dance club towards the end of the night. Hopefully the one you go to is better

It is hipster, but can be enjoyable, just suppress any power level or autsim you may have, and have good time with coworkers. Remember, these types of things are sneaky important, could affect raises, recommendations, etc.
