I traveled today

... And in the LAX Delta terminal, I saw a bizarre Gamer Cafe (??) which mostly consisted of large screens playing Twitch streams. It was almost completely empty, but was also weirdly small. I suspect less than seven of the screens were set up for games. And there were an awful lot of game characters on the wall. I am curious who runs this, whether they make any money, or whether the characters are licensed: I have written about this before but i looooove seeing weird or funny examples of how Gamer Stuff atill sits so uncomfortably alongside all other entertainment in our society. I love how this space is trying to attract kids? Or teens?? but is also like, dead empty, probably because in an airport it is, I guess competing with the Steam Deck and the Nintendo Switch. Imagine being a gamer who can afford to fly on an airplane, and afford to pay for a gamer cafe, and NEEDS to game at the airport... but doesn't have a portable device? No laptop? Not even a Anbernic? Hell, I forgot that…
