Yeah they kind of messed up the in-world economy by making gold worthless. I’m waiting for them to release an update where they finally have a sink in place. The duping problem should resolve itself after that.

There’s a series of absolutely solid arcade game repair/service videos on YouTube, showing common faults and how to diagnose and fix them. The videos were actually recorded as part of a training series for working technicians during the hey-day of arcade games (now long gone in the West). Time was money so the diagnosis and fix had to make dollars.

Looking at the insides, there are massive circuit boards with dedicated logic chips - your standard HEF series NOR and NAND gates and all sorts of things. Boards mounted on boards. Huge mechanical relays with a loud clunk. All of it can now be replaced by parts that are tiny, solid state and are highly unlikely to fail due to wear/tear/usage. Granted, we all moved over to MAME long ago, but this post does not surprise me.

These fucking cookie settings I swear lmao

Great. Another evil.

Replace one with another. Strange, isn’t it?
