oh right we went to another cocktail bar between ramen and karaoke too.

no, they weren't at the first bar. they were a good sport about the rest of us drinking, i guess -- they didn't say anything rude. but they did look kind of bored and refused to sing so

the best thing to do is to go up and sing a song completely sober in front of a bunch of drunks. chances are you'll nail it better than any of they can, and no matter what you'll get a big round of applause

they should have been bounced to the curb. karaoke is where anyone can take the mic and be a star, and not feel ashamed. i will rise to any occasion because one time i saw a guy really badly and painfully struggle through a garth brooks song in front of a crowded room until the very end, and from that day forth i vowed to one day be so brave

idk what "timecube" is but it made me think baseball would be way better if time randomly adjusted at roving points around the field. you could have like a 0.5% chance of a completely stopped clock during a game, people would go nuts if a home run got frozen in place and just picked out of the air lol

as a teen I worked at a place that did kids birthday parties and had a 4 story play place thing where they got two games of laser tag w the price of the bday party or whatever

one of my jobs was causally disconnecting the score keeper machine when needed so that each team would win one game a piece. sorry kids the system is rigged

like it would definitely be one hell of a coincidence if feisty worked at the same place i went to as a kid, but thats kinda unlikely so it might be standard practice lol

it was noticeable because you could literally stand next to someone and shoot them point blank without it counting

i will support this but i suspect most games will have the players at like .001. sixty percent of the usa doesn't drink at all. and most people can't afford to get loaded at a major league game anyway. 10 ounces of 4.2% for like 14 dollars, woof.

now, apply this to your local little league game...

i bet even fewer than 40% of little league players drink

the owner was a legit good dude who just wanted to make sure each kid at the party won a game. the place had like 8 employees and 6 of them were teenagers, so not some weird corporate mandate or whatever

in the evenings they’d have just normal laser tag where we didn’t monkey with the scoreboard. unless it was friends of ours in which case we might just to be dicks

place was called club fun

that place also had a small arcade and that’s when I learned that a lot of those ticket dispensing machines have a gently caress You dial you can adjust that’ll determine if you actually hit the jackpot or whatever. said decent owner set it to be very lenient cuz he said “it’s just cheap plastic crap we give away who cares”

sounds like an extremely similar kind of place. they also had gokarts and a two or three story foam ball pit with air cannons and a bunch of slides and ambush spots, it ruled
