Guess what this store sells...

Based only on the storefront:

For the record...I was scared to go inside. Was pretty sure it was a portal to another dimension (hence the blacked out windows.)

 

[Herr Kutz]

Skillfully made fish tables that I assume are made around the clock.

 

[homebrew2ny]

Sushi??

 

[Stopsignhank]

I looked it up and I am still shaking my head at this.

Murder shack, beware. They're drip drying people in the basement, then onto tables for the fish. Run man just run.

 

[ImpulsE69]

Clearly a happy ending massage parlor and transmission specialist place.

Does "Florida Man" work there? Be afraid, be very afraid.

Or maybe it's just a games / hobby-shop place, with a table to play "Go Fish", and a 24/7 LAN party center too.

Or is this where you sign up for Google Fiber, and that's why uptake has been slow...

24/7 skills? I would say it's one of those establishments that try to skirt the gambling laws with an assortment of "Games"

 

[Red Squirrel]

Looks like an illegal casino where the only game played is go fish. ...strip, go fish.

That's what worries me about game companies' pivot towards gambling mechanisms (and researching full blown electronic gambling machines; heck isn't Konami like primarily a Pachinko game maker these days?), I feel like the lines are gonna get blurred easily and quickly, and I think a LOT more people can get hooked on them. And the game companies have no reason to care (since they're in it to make money, plus since generally even if something is done about it, it'll be after the fact, so they can reap the money, make sure they hide it well, and then when the shit hits the fans, they get a slap on the wrist fine and probably some regulation gets discussed).

Which, maybe that'd finally be something blockchain could resolve? Verifying the integrity of gambling systems so at least they couldn't game the odds or other bullshit.
