Chanchai’s Story Time

Описание: GrayFoxRJ (Twitter) and Wazwuz (Discord) expressed curiosity on my thoughts and experiences with Arcades and Local Scenes.

In this less-than-focused story time, I talk about a few public gaming experiences in the environments I was often in from the Portland Arcade scene of the 80s & 90’s, to what popular forms of public gaming I found in Thailand in the 80’s until present, and I also talk a little bit about the game centers I ran and then I talk about some of the places Portland’s FGC would congregate for competitive and casual play.

I apologize for how rambly and out-of-focus this first Story Time is, but I still hope you enjoy it!
