How do you feel about the removal of tokens from arcades ? (sh.itjust.works)

Im probably in the very very small minority of people who still love and go to arcades. Its such a great place to meet like minded nerds. We are lucky to have 2 really awesome ones in town, one of which has a lot of good old machines, and they repair them too. They have some new ones that are OK too.

Anyway, I dont like that they changed to the dumb card thing. I get it (efficiency, capitalism, it was bound to happen) but it removes another visceral experience in society that was so fun.

Anyway, my old man rant!

We literally know that people with germophobia ironically suffer infection much more because they shoot their immune system to hell.

It's easier for me if you just Google epidemiological and immunological reviews yourself.
