What disappeared in society without people really noticing?

SMH definitely still gets used in 2018 FFS.

0FG, not so much TBH.

0FG - Zero Fucks Given.

I have the Samsung s7 but mostly keep power saving mode on.
I don't give a shit about internet access on my phone too much.

Why couldn't phones just be kept for making a call or sending a message?
Never again will I download a social media or messenger app to a phone.
CIA spy software is all it really is.

I only like the internet based games on phones as live gameplay is fun, but don't really use it for social media.

BlackBerry used to be safe... It was the phone of choice for a "profession"

Just buy an old Nokia from eBay.

More and more games are asking for permissions to be playable IE access contacts, photos and even manage calls.

Can't get a bigger red flag than that.

I know, not only games but a lot of apps in general. I just LOVE denying them permission to access my personal data
Nothing like giving rich corporations a virtual "up yours" lol.

I LOVED Timezone!! I guess the arrival of consoles that had excellent graphics and fantastic games you could play at home....plus online..and worked out to be more cost effective over the long run.. However I do miss pinball machines..

There was this story on the news a few months ago about pinball machines. Do you know that a really good one can cost as much as $20,000? A guy who has a very secure man cave collects them and stores them in there.

Yeah they were good ways to kill time. I remember back in the early windows XP days they had that 3D Space Cadet pinball game. That was awesome. Imagine if that game was actually a physical unit. That would've been awesome.

Timezone and arcades are on the rise. New Timezone just opened last month in Central Park Sydney. There’s also the Archie brothers who have the Holey Mobley bars (bar / putt putt), and they opened Electroc Circus in Alexandria (bar / arcade, kids kicked out at 8pm)

A pretty big one just opened at Westfield Chermside next to the cinemas. I think they are bit different to the ones in the old days, but the concept is still there.

I've had a couple of sessions at Holey Moley in Brisbane (its in an old church in the Valley), and noticed there is one in the Cross when i was last in Sydney?

Ok so there are a handful of Timezone's in Australia. Do you remember when there were over 50? Remember Intencity, you pay an entry fee then can play as many games as you like (covered by the entry fee)? You can't say they're on the rise. Sadly, they're on the way out thanks to all the online and new gen consoles.

For the co-op experience, I, sadly, have to rely on online arcade sites.

I think the concept of drinking and activity is on the rise. Look at Archie brothers, they have expanded their business loads in just the last 24 months. And popularity has been sustained the whole period. Yeah they went away, but I think they are re-surfacing. Lots of things in society will resurface, it’s a cycle. People are now looking for and wanting more than just a drink.

Yea and there is one in Newtown. They also opened a big on in Wollongong recently.
