Y’all seem like a bunch of friendly folk. I moved to the research triangle, North Carolina during the pandemic and need to rebuild my social circles. Unfortunately I work from home and have a toddler and an infant so meeting new people in real life has been extra challenging. Anyone in the area here? I’m building a 90s themed arcade in my shed, ask me anything!

    I have this big shed - 28’x16’ with a gambrel roof. So I’m going to add a floor separating the attic and the main floor. The way the roof slopes the attic is still going to give me 7’ of clearance so that’s where I’m going to make an arcade. I made a really nice collection of laserdiscs from local Craigslist/thrift store sales, also an old pentium 3 desktop with windows 98. My friend wrote a proxy to the Wayback machine such that is you go to say yahoo.com it shows you what it was in 1999. Any website is from 1999. And a lot of the old games are abandoned too and can be found on archive.org
