My 7-Eleven had enough space for 3 games and Galaga had a long - but not infinite - run. A retro arcade opened a town over and I have the high score. Very proud
lol yeah I can tell you stories about the popcorn. For one stretch my only job was making popcorn 8 hr shift in this little room. I would fill an empty nacho cheese can with frothy sweet orange drink and stuff huge handfuls of hot popcorn in my mouth all day long
Not gonna lie - haven’t finished reading this but had to pause to comment on how I initially thought this essay’s image was an elaborate donut with the fanciest sprinkles ever!
So Ms. Pac-Man can be infinite, but Mr. Pac-Man can't?
I'm not sure. I played way more Ms Pac Man myself.
Pac-Man had his own animated television show in the 1980s and Ms. Pac-Man didn't have one, so this balances out the universe.
FWIW, I would play Pac Man on the 2600 and Ms Pac Man at the arcade. I still think Ms Pac Man is one of the best arcade games ever made.
Galaga
Another incredible arcade game! What a great era that was.

Write me up something about your time in the movie theater and I can create a post where I add my stuff in there, if you'd like! That could be fun.
I'd love that! I'll have to give it a think for how to make it a story.
As long as it's movie theater food shenanigans, I think it will be really easy. I think I can integrate a story nugget or two if you have 'em!

Infinity is a donut! We have to rethink everything.
Good point
My head hurts. It's Monday, man, how are we already on infinitely finite concepts and portal-hopping Ms Pacman?!
Psh, Mondays. Such a terrestrial way to think about time.
Poop!
Don't mind if I doodle!
You said “doodie”!
It's true. There are very few days that go by in a house with a senior dog where we don't utter the word at least a few times.
