Guilty pleasure: Highly-mediated consumer experiences. Heavily-themed restaurants and bars. The old Metreon. Disney Stores. Disney stuff in general really I guess.

Wish I'd been able to go to the WotC Game Center when it was still here in Seattle (Y'know, 20 years ago. 9.9)

@indi As someone who spent a couple of summers there, I gotta say it was always impressive. You never really forget seeing the big statues looming over you as you walk in or the really comfortable surroundings in the basement area.

That said, I think Mox really does a good job of being a successor to that feel in a lot of aspects. It’s an imperfect recreation, but it’s pretty close.

@KoBunny A major lack of looming statues for one thing! ;)

TBH I haven't been to Mox in ages (and never to the Eastside one); I get my games elsewhere. ;)

@indi I like going to them as a place to eat (Cause their food’s pretty great). Their east side location really stepped up its game for posh layouts (and has a rentable speakeasy room accessible through a bookshelf door).

And just cause I haven’t said it enough: I always appreciate your patronage friend yote! 💜💚
