Malls are dead

I remember the arcades in malls and Babbage's.

Now you're just reaching.
If anything, I'm bitter because I worked in a mall and I know how shitty and boring they can be.

No, the ones that were around me were and still are infested with subhuman spics. Malls always sucked ass.

No, they were always shit, they simply got shittier.
I remember the magic of seeing top tier game artwork on good vidya though.

Look at you,clinging to an idealised version of what you think you remember that never really existed anywhere else except in your own head

I don't think I bought anything at that place, the prices always seemed cocked up. That's not entirely true though, because my parents got my NES there. What I mainly miss is shoplifting trash from Hot Topic. I had an absolute garbage bag full of pogs and shitty junk metal jewelry.

Sometimes it's good to reflect, lest we let the world swallow us up.

No, I hated being around normals even as a kid, and I truly despised malls from a young age.

I do miss Funcoland though. They had pretty good deals on used games.

The way I hear it malls are only dead in the northeast.

...

I kind of wish I had enough money to buy an abandoned mall and renovate it into some kind of weird-ass mansion or town.

self reflection is a sandpit,linger on too long and you're trapped

Yeah before huge online catalogues, going to those places when i was young and my world was small enough that giant malls where the ultimate place to see all kinds of products. Still some decent malls are good because there is stuff i'll never just buy online and also i like to help the local economy thrive.

You know how anons occasionally get a hair up their ass to buy an island? How about turning an abandoned mall into a sort of enclave? Aside from that, I think it would be good for some /k/ tier fun, maybe at least some paintball.

Not really, i remember toysrus more simply because it was the first and only time i ever saw a SEGA Saturn in real life during it's prime, and even then it was running fucking Sonic R.

Malls die because those places are just rumble pits for black people to gather in and fight.

I don't have any emotional attachment to malls, anyway, and I don't associate them with childhood. I don't remember anything about my childhood because I deliberately try to forget it in order to stop myself from involuntarily flashing back to unpleasant moments (it doesn't have to be a moment that should logically elicit sympathy, it could be a grudge over something petty or a moment where I got what I deserved for being a little shit but still feel I should smite the one who "wronged" me that I've nursed in my subconscious) but that only served to make me forget anything good that might have happened then (if it ever did).

But, anyway, malls could make a comeback if they start charging entry fees and issuing membership passes (after all, Niggers are cheapskates) but that won't do much good unless the malls have good marketing as well. Otherwise, malls can be turned into condominiums and people can renovate old stores into luxury apartments.

That's what happened to the mall i used to hang out in as a kid, became infested with niggers until it became known as the ghetto mall and people stopped going even though it was within walking distance of a major university. Willing to bet that's what happened to most of the malls in the US, they're all infested with shitskins now so people just stay home.

As for specifically buying vidya that shit was ruined when GameStop developed a monopoly. Weirdest part is they seem to be half games half "nerd culture" stuff now, guess people don't buy as many games as they used to.

I think a mall would be even more expensive than just buying an island or some innawoods property.

Entry fees and membership passes? Nobody would go to those malls, user.

Expensive to buy, expensive to maintain and you'd have to deal with bs from the city government.

That's why I mentioned the thing about good marketing. You can convince anybody to do anything as long as you tell them the right way.

I've never once seen anyone buy the "nerd culture" shit either, the few times i've been there, to look for some cheap vita games, they'll HALF THE FUCKING STORE filled with those funco pops, and there is never a single pop out of place, ever.

I wish I still liked video games.

You sound like a kike.

I can second this. They just let their kids run around in a swarm around them… devouring and destroying everything within their fat little arm's reach.

what magic, malls were always a pain in the ass, even if you got a new toy or game you were still stuck in there for ages

Yes, well, I do run a chain of payday loan outlets.

You're right, but there would be literal janitors. It's like pottery.

Your thread is shit, fatass.

no, because that's retarded

nobody that runs anything let alone a chain of anything has the time to shitpost on vietnamese sugar cane harvesting boards

Screw malls.

I miss Blockbuster.

/r/ing the big Mall Planet concept screencap

...

No I don't, I am not American so my head isn't clouded by consumerism nearly as bad yours. One thing I DO remember however are arcades and how shit they were.

This, never rented there, but i always used to pop in every once in awhile to buy a game for my N64. it was great.

renting games on a whole was nice, there were a few times i'd rent the same game a few times to beat it. I assume it's such a pain to rent games these days because you can beat any fucking game in one weekend easy and that would drop sales

Me neither, but with all the popular normalfag games these days are digital (PuBG, ASSFAGGOTS etc) and with the western vidya industry committing suicide i'm guessing they're trying out new shit to get people in the door. Or there's the more obvious idea that they can't compete with Amazon.

I can't even think of a good reason to go to a mall anyways anymore, all the stores i liked have been dead for years now. Arcades are dead, bookstores are dead, those cool science stores are dead, movie rental places are dead, etc. It's just overpriced basketball shoes, gold chains, and maybe a Sears now.

The only thing malls are good for is ogling teenage girls.

i'll check these out

Works for these guys.

That's true, but don't say that too loud.

Those are warehouses, not malls, you retard.

...

come on user,just a lil' bit it will be our secret

It's okay to be wrong on the internet, user.

Even as a kid I hated the mall, it was too bright with fluorescent lighting, too many people, too loud with shit music and inane chatter everywhere, and it only got worse as I got older as stupid dipshits would go there to hang out for some reason. I did like checking out the toys and games sections because I wouldn't know what was available because no internet. This guy is right>>14359303

People go to those places because they need to purchase goods. That's not inherently true with a mall, lots of teenagers go there with no intention of buying anything and just hanging out there.

Of course. Even when 14 was still legal here, it was verboten to admit you wanted to put your dick in a girl under 18. It seems like even girls around 18 is weird to a lot of people.

I wish I still liked anything.

Boo-fucking-hoo

Hahaha, you are wrong. I run several businesses, including a trucking company, restaurants, fast-food franchises, a convenience store chain, a real estate construction business, and a property management business. But I have people do the grueling stuff like paperwork and management for me so I have plenty of free time, in fact, the most I ever really worked on that stuff was about 10 hours, cumulative, in one week.

this

Obligatory. Prepare for some feels

Dunno why you pedos and hebes have such low standards and eternal shit taste.

Who gives a shit about teenagers that just hang out and don't buy anything anyway? At most they'll spend money at the food court or go to the malls cinema if it has one.

so you don't actually run anything?You just show up once a month pick up a cheque ,check a spreadsheet and then fuck off

Speaking of video rental places that also had vidya, I miss GameCrazy. It's funny, really. Occasionally I'll still come across an older game that was sold there at some point and which no one ever bothered to remove the old GC price sticker on. They peel off with zero hassle at all despite the years, unlike fucking Gamestop ones that might have been placed on a game a month or two back and either tear or leave gunk all over the place from already getting caked onto the casing.

The people who rent space in the malls to sell teenagers stupid shit, you retard. You draw them in with the allure of a public social setting, and then you have a bunch of shops and food chains and shit to capitalize on them being there. No chain store is going to set up at a mall with reduced customer volume and take the risk when malls are already failing financially.
Additionally, those warehouses you posted mostly sell their own shit at wholesale, but most stores in a mall depend on marking up their prices to pay rent.
In short: Eat a dick, retard.

Pretty much. I own it, though, and I use the profits to buy assets, like condos and stocks, that make me even more money.

it's not a score
it's a numbered image in a series of numbered images in a folder

I worked at a mall for damned near a decade, at one point being stuck working at one of those little shitty kiosk stores where you can't really sit down and just have to walk around in circles until someone actually buys something. Worked multiple holiday seasons and some of the worst black fridays ever. At one point, the stress and strain made me sicker than I've ever been.

I can't fathom how people can spend so much time in malls. Everything about them is awful.

i thought this for a few years too but since i illegally downloaded kc:d ive come to realize it isnt that i dislike videogames its just that almost all new games are absolute shit

Okay then post a ten that is 100% developed but somehow makes you a pedophile.

so you are the owner then but you don't run jack shit.if the people that actually ran those places left tommorrow you wouldn't have two nickels left to rub together

I legit saw an Indian guy at a phone repair kiosk watching hentai on his laptop in the middle of the mall

thats pretty autistic. why dont you organize your explorer with tags or make a subfolder for sets?

I honestly don't know that feel, I don't even think I've been in a mall.

He's actually a kike. Good for him.

Malls are dying because of retards like you try to capitalize on demographics that just aren't there. All you see are numbers but you completely fail to take into account a lot of those people don't buy shit. Teenagers, niggers and spics generally don't buy a damned thing but food and maybe shoes or something.

Why would you number your images like that? The only of those that's appealing is second left but she's probably a dyke with the far left girl.

Get out of here with your faggy LARP. Stocks are not assets. Paper claims are not assets.

wait a minute you are trying to get me b&,aren't you?

i think you answered your own question

...

Actually, I make enough money through my investment portfolio that I can still live comfortably and work even less. But if one of my managers quit: I could replace him. And if one of my businesses fail (and believe me, they have) I can bounce back and build another. I'm resilient against anything the market can throw at me.

That's all people who run stores at malls care about, you fucking numbskull.
Jesus christ.

That's the real problem. I thought i was starting to hate video games too until i just started going back and playing all the old shit i missed. There are a handful of good things here and there but mostly new games are shit.

I hardly see teens at malls anymore anyways, it's mostly shitskins getting into trouble and still not buying things. If the current selling shit to teens plan isn't working maybe it's time to try something new.

Yes, the only place I hate more than the mall are airports

meant for

8chins derped again

N-no?

And that's why malls are dead. Reread what I said you dumb asshole. It's no different than an old vidya series being simplified and pimped out to appeal to the wider demographics only for it to fail miserably because those cunts don't purchase games.

The worst airports are the ones that try to be malls imo, like Denver International. Actually, I hate Denver International Airport in general more than any other airport. 50sq miles of nothing. It requires a metro to get from the car rentals to the terminal. There is no reason an airport that serves a city with a population of only 600 thousand should be so fucking huge

i like airports. havent had a bad experience at one yet

oneangrygamer.net/2018/02/41-gamers-prefer-indies-aaa-publishers-37-feel-games-arent-innovative/51733/

The 3 malls I near enough for me are actually doing alright and have expanded with more stores opening tuphen closing. Though thats obviously an outlier.

Good, you know that stocks, in general, are securities and not assets. However, I'm talking about myself and I have access to the financial statements of many companies so I know enough about them to pick out and maintain what I need from the stock markets so they are effectively assets for me.

FARMER'S MARKET MASTER RACE

If you travel a lot you eventually end up ranking airports based on your experience one way or another. The best airports have relatively lax TSA with minimal hassle getting through security. Ease of navigation, finding luggage, and even the smoothness of the runway on landing, all contribute. LAX I think is a great airport for example

I was in a similar situation, i did janitorial work for a, relatively upscale mall in a upper class white suburbia kind of area during the holidays, and it was a fucking nightmare. Black friday is bad, but it does not hold a candle compared to the days leading up to Christmas when every faggot in the neighborhood decides it's time to stop procrastinating and make the rush out to their local store for fucking Christmas presents. It is fucking unbearable, you start to feel like Human cattle being led around by the other cows in the area the places are so fucking packed, and traffic? Fucking forget about it, it'll take about 3 hours to get home during the worst of it. Frankly the only positive experience throughout the whole thing was getting to play the Wii u display during an event nintendo held, wasn't too bad.
God i hate malls.

The one time I flew into LAX the pilot pulled an unannounced "go-around" when we were a few hundred feet off the ground. Everyone started screaming. Fucking nigger.

I've been traveling by air heavily since childhood and to me it's just a nightmare because it's even more intrusive than just being around so many other people

my niggah. Dead Mall Series is comfy as fuck

Some pilots are definitely better than others at landing. Some pilots can land gently and perfectly to where you barely feel it. Some slam hard on the fucking runway. Last time I flew into LAX there was a lot of turbulence and the pilot had to make a lot of corrections before hitting the runway but it was otherwise smooth

...

at this point i'll have to refer you to AJanon,it's clear that the only running you ever did was in order to chase the ice cream truck

>>>/r9k/

...

property tax and utilities would probably be fucking bullshit though

What's wrong with cute girls.

Let me have my dreams, user.

me no speeka >>>/cuckchan/ ,me sorry

Wanna buy a bunch of houses in detroit for 1$? Just think what a bargain this is!

This went into forclosure because it was a retarded investment, not because the area became infested with basketball americans

Where are the videogames

Right here >>>/cuckchan/. Why don't you stay there forever.

Sounds more up your alley, bud.

nah, you're the one shitting up the thread

I usually just went to local rental places, usually had better rental periods and the added bonus of a titty section in a back room to sneak into.

Too be fair, its actually 100 dollars PLUS the thousands of dollars in debt you'll inherit from the property you'd need to pay off and that's not even considering operating costs. The bank also wont sell these things to just a random pleb. You'd need to prove to the bank you have enough valuable assets to use as collateral

I'm going to guess you live in Canada, because they raised their age of consent from 14 to 16 in 2008, and the general pattern of cuckoldry sounds like them.

As for malls, I only ever found one teenage girl to ogle at one, and she ogled me too, and that was gratifying even though nothing further was pursued. As for the intended purpose of malls, they were fun and had a good selection of products, but they weren't something I couldn't live without. The only feels I'm getting from this are feels associated with better times in general, which malls are only one small part of.

Had to meet some people for dinner at a restaurant that was adjacent to what used to be a really upscale mall, walking through it now it was full of beaners and niggers just sitting everywhere like a flea market.

I can't remember early mall days for me very well, but I do miss game stores feeling relevant. Amazon and occasional other online shops are making them less relevant with each passing year. I'm pretty aware it's just nostalgia and naivity when talking about it feeling whimsical, though.
I just started getting into Digimon and feel a little bad that I missed its heyday, even if the dub of the anime is shit. Pokemon is still strong in presence today, but Digimon seems to have faded out of major consciousness in the US. I can't find V-mon plushies anywhere, and online is expensive as fuck from prices being jacked up by imports.

I used to rent Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog VHSes from Hollywood Video because I used to play Sonic games my grandpa pirated (this was the late 90s, I don't know what the common sources were at the time.) I about blew my fucking mind having a cartoon based on games I actually played that wasn't Pokemon, but now I see that show, like everything that Dic touched, was shit. I didn't learn about the Mario shows until many years later.
I'm not really a "90's kid" but I do miss the simplicity of the time.

What the fuck happened to color? It gets harder and harder to deny that golden age syndrome is bullshit when you see shit like pic 3. It's like looking through a desaturated lens.

Pokemon became the best selling game series in history in about 5 from its release. Digimon was never going to be able to compete. Not saying Digimon is bad but its not really fair to compare it to Pokemon

*years

Really makes you think.

Soulless people create soulless environments.

You just know that shit has been hot glued to hell, since the only people that gave a shit for longer than 5 seconds were furfags.

It was an ugly building with the fucking colors that do not match turning it into an eye sore. It looks better now, but it doesn't change the fact that it's just uninspired paint job and architecture.

Fuck you, OP. I came into this thread expecting porn or some sort of other shit because it was only vaguely vidya and now I'm walking away feeling old and sad.

I'm 33 and I had a lot of fond memories of malls as a kid. Up until the early 2000s, a lot of them were fun. Trips for new games at EB, clothes for school, minigolf, arcades, the food court.. all sorts of stuff. I was even the first kid in my mall to get a Dreamcast back in 99.

These days.. most are dead and the ones that are left are polluted with unruly minority kids, yuppie cunt stores, and those pitiful kiosks where some guy with more grease in his hair than I'd see when frying bacon is trying to sell me a fidget spinner. I'm not even 40 and I feel like I've been alive for a century.

And I've watched vidya go to shit in the twenty seven years I've been playing.

Nostalgia is a mean bitch.

Music is what was used in that Rolling Acres 'Dead Mall' vid.

>Those days are gone and they're never coming back.
Those days will return after the collapse.

Speak for yourself. The style back then was at least something bold and eye grabbing. Who the fuck has fond memories of a building that looks like what it is now?
It's much more inspired than what we have now. In 2030 I doubt people will be able to remember this decade over the 80-90's.

Who the fuck has fond memories of a building that looks like a bollywood movie? If you make something colorful, it doesn't automatically make it good or memorable.

It's never going to happen.

People have trouble losing weight? Shit, I've lost 50 pounds through the simple trick of just not cramming my fucking maw with everything I can get my hands on.

the older paint job is a product of the era. The 90s were more or less just an extension off the 80s only really finding it's own identity near the end of the era. Actually looking at the told paint job if they left the baby blue kept the pillars on the 2nd floor green and kept that eggshell white to the walls under the balcony roof it'd look pretty eye catching.

Because people grew up seeing it at the end of shows and going "that place is a place I want to go to". It was where the things people enjoyed came from and thus have good association with it, why do you act like a nigger?

Also whats more shameful is the time capsule they buried infront of the studio backk in the day got pulled up and planted someplace else and last I heard the place it was reburied at is being shut down so who the fuck knows whats going to happen with it.

Yeah, Malls are dead or dying. It's been said in this thread as well as in threads pertaining to malls before this one, but the main reason is the influx of shitskins coupled with how easy and convenient buying shit online has become.
I'm not sure exactly when malls started falling, but it had to have been recently. I went to woodfield mall a few months ago after not having been there for a long time and I couldn't stomach the state it was in. Yeah, it was quite busy when I went, but there were so many shitskins and fatties that I ended up leaving the mall without buying anything. Not like most of the shit there isnt fabricated in some third world country for mere pennies and them price marked up by over 400%.
Don't even mention the gypsy-like stalls that have ugly and annoying shitskins manning them constantly. You'd be lucky if one of them doesn't walk up to you and ask them to buy something. It's gotten so pathetic. A few years ago in some other mall in Texas this one stall selling pictures got so desperate they took a candid shot of me walking at some point and then they tried to sell me the picture. Unbelievable.
Anyway, as previously mentioned, I have no reason to go to malls anymore-much less any store- unless im eating at a restaurant or hanging out with colleagues. Like I said, you'd be hard pressed to find one piece of merchandise sold that is made in America or some other respectable country. I will admit though that there is this one store that sells lego sets for WW1 and WW2 planes/tanks/ships/etc which is real fuckin neato, but that may be the only saving grace of the particular mall i had in mind.

Again it comes down to preference. But at least you can make some sort of comparison to it. What the fuck is your source material for the latter?

I'll ogle those digits.

Pretty sure supermarkets played a larger outcome. Why go to malls when Walmart sells everything they have but cheaper?

Never liked the mall tbh. Liked beach, playing in the street all day. going to the countryside to visit family and hunt/fish/ride horses and do other countryside stuff.
Malls? Nope.

This. The only "malls" that were ever good are open strip malls.

>There’s a mall near my house that is a ghost town as far as stores go. Just Sears, a hippie charm shop, a gun store, and a game store That doesn’t charge out the ass for older games, picked up a three PS2 gems for under fifteen bucks

>That doesn’t charge out the ass for older games, picked up a three PS2 gems for under fifteen bucks
Neat, what games are they?

At least I got dubs.

...

I hope you're keeping Portland weird user :^)

Deus Ex, Silent Hill 2, and Final Fantasy 10

Isn't that Austin's city slogan?

the fuck are you talking bout Holla Forums?
they're everywhere, where I live.
Indonesia btw

Please just let sweet death embrace me.

No, it's a hipster motto that gets claimed by any city stupid enough to welcome them en masse. I visited Portland and had a goddamn awful time for a 6 hours train transfer.
The food stall block kicked ass though

But you can also make cool sand castles and tunnel systems then play with army men in them.

Hi C0de!

Fuck, I don't know why it's making me feel melancholic.

I'm not an American so no.

...

Stop project user, it's just you

This is me

I do the same thing. Whenever I remember stuff from my past I start counting random numbers in my head until it goes away.

You know Kurt Koller made up that bullshit story by now, right? Or are you just banting?

I go to my local mall regularly. It is still active.

Not in my country it's not, granted its no longer a place to shop but rather as place to hang out, eat, and play arcades. I went to a lot of malls recently and i swear, it has twice as more restaurants / food kiosks / what have you compared to the storefronts. The high-end clothing stores that actually open in my malls are actually just a facade to put up an upper-class aura since 99% of the people that goes to the mall won't go there to buy expensive shit. That's why the mall management gave said stores a huge cut to their rent fee. I mean shit, i could probably say that my malls are better than the burger's malls.
There's also 'niche malls' in here that sell some specific type of shit (e.g. Computer parts, Airshit, hobby kits, etc) ran by different kind of owners, the neat thing here is that you could haggle with the merchants running said operations so you could LARP as a smooth-talking jew and get the best prices they've got to offer, or you know, just buy it online.
I guess that's why the malls in my country are relatively thriving, they changed their business practice as a place to meet-up rather than to buy stuff

I thought they died because people are buying stuff online alot more

These trips don't lie

Thanks for sharing these user, they're really comfy to watch (except when there;s buzzing sounds)

Fucking hell, art thou me?

I swear I have mild Tourettes because when I remember something unpleasant or embarrassing I shake my head and sometimes utter a swear or "No" before reassuring myself that literally nobody on the face of the planet remembers it.

No, they were always shit and ruined fucking everything. Family business were always cheaper, higher quality and more comfy. Malls were a fucking mistake and I want them all to burn to the fucking ground.

Malls are magic, cinema is magic, television is magic, the media is magic, spending money is magic.

What's magic is pirating everything, having it for free and sharing it with as many strangers as you can.

Do you ever get tired of making these "take everything for free, pay for nothing" posts.

Not vidya nigger, fuck off.

This thread is too American for me.

I love piracy too.

I flinch several times a day thanks to this, it's gotten me weird looks

weh.

They're alive and well

I've been there a couple times, and its so shit. its just the same store 10x over. They could at least literally have it be mall of america and have a store from each state that is popular in it fuck dude. I live in the state and think its shit. I miss snoopy land.

Did you notice all the blacks, and ninjas in the video too? Thats also a reason as to why i moved away from the city and into the country in western wisconsin. No nigs there thankfully.

Goddamnit user, I didn't need this.

camp snoopy wasn't even original, 100% stolen from dorney park.

Why are there so many brown people there?

Itsn't Minnesota white as fuck?

It was when i was an early teen

It was, but something happened, I dont know what but more and more nigs started showing up and alot of ninjas too. Maybe I didnt notice or what. But if you go to central minnesota its basically a shit pile. While everything around it gets better the farther you go away from the center to a point.

...

Why did people go to the mall? No niggers.

Why do people don't go to the mall anymore? Niggers.

...

The Amerimutt meme is fucking hilarious.

Refugee resettlement programs and section 8 housing both target 'least diverse areas'. In this case they got Somalians, lots and lots of Somalians.

Once I actually got a gig seting up a new Forever 21 location at a mall. It's there that I realized except for the food court, every store is just selling the same cheaply-made shit from Asia that came in boxes and plastic bags, marked-up to a ridiculous degree.

I enjoy going there to buy discount clothing, play at the arcade or just having somewhere to walk when the weather is bad but with the convenience of online shopping there's no way malls will survive. Since the mall owners can't possibly pay the property taxes on them maybe they'll be torn down. I won't shed a tear, it's not like the stores within aren't everywhere else anyway.

Why is there a webcam in the back of his mouth?

Really makes you think.

and you say, you play videogames

I do miss the experience of going to a store and browsing what's on display, maybe seeing something that you'd never heard of, and deciding to give it a shot because it looked cool. It was also fun to build a rapport with the staff working there and just sit around and shoot the shit. I managed to score a couple of collector's editions that were never sold/picked up because the manager of my local EB Games liked me.

Bill Cooper went in depth about this.

Lots of occult, freemasonic, satanic, luciferian symbolism going on.

*pukes behind you and vanishes*
pssst

My tastes haven't changed, it's just everything sucks now.

Not anymore thanks to me citizen! Just remember it ain't just ladies I like to grope around here.

I guess it really is getting bad down in the lower 48.

...

clearly never saw it in person

...

I hope you read the manga and then watched trust and betrayal after watching that messy adaptation

Most of the kiosks at my local mall are owned by literal Jews who immigrated from Israel and try to sell products made in Israel.

I stopped by a local mall a few days ago and saw that they had just turned one of the anchor stores into a bowling alley/arcade. I checked it out expecting it to be crap and for some reason they had a lot of Jap cabinets of varying genre. I was pleasantly surprised.

This bowling alley / arcade wouldn't happen to be a Round 1, would it?

That place looks kinda comfy.

Looks like it. There's a Round 1 where I am, looks pretty similar.

Thanks for making me hate jews a little bit more.

a round1? there only appears to be one outside philly.

after years of playing them, I've finally come to the point i become bored with them more and more frequently. Then i come to realize i've wasted hours of my life on nothing and have no talent but i still have some good memories

trips of truth

into the trash it goes.

I remember retail video game stores tried to sell me the empty display box twice. As in, I was a little kid and my parents paid money for a video game, and when I opened the box there was no fucking video game inside. We had to go back and complain. Two times. Fuck malls.

Only thing I miss about malls was when during the late 90s and early 2000s when sears still had nice sized vidya selection. Snes , ps1 and n64 kiosks still up , unsold snes games still on display. Grabbed a still sealed breath of fire 2 that way.

What do you have against America's great religion?

You're the retard here user, you fell for their jewish tricks and didn't even put a single doubt about the product. kinda like whats happening with the U.S Military hardware procurement right now

That's alot of niggers

Well? What are you waiting for? Fucking do something!
You know its your fault, no need to wallow in it, always strive to git gud and work on those skills that you feel confidence in.
This is a lie

The Jews
-t. user

This. Facebook and Instagram are good for collecting slut photos. But it’s not the same. In malls you can take creepshots if clearly virginal girls. You can walk up to sluts and smell them without them noticing. Young boys think they have it good. Fapping to Instagram pics will never be good as smelling passing by sluts.

No shit, I was like 8.Taught me pretty early not to trust stores.

This.
Unless you live in a 100% White region, malls are shit.

Support the small businesses only. Not brands that infest malls.

when did malls get so popular with niggers?

Even if strip malls had actual strippers, it would barely make up for the sheer boredom and lack of variety those places have. It gets even worse when nigger friday comes around where the already small stores get even smaller when they turn into moshpits filled with the worst the world has to offer. No mall of any kind has ever been good.

I lovs going to malls just to steal shit from niggers, especially toys from shit eating nigglets

What do you Burgers think Malls were suppose to do?
Malls are an enclosed space, where you are constantly surrounded by (((commercials))) that audio-visually tell you what to like and what to think.
And who do you think the people in the (((commercial))) departments are? The same social science retards that push for feminism, diversity and all the other progressive dreck, because they went to the same school as these idiots.
Many people here are fans of the 80s, but if you look what kind of media was pushed on people in these places when the VHS format was still popular you can see the beginning of today's pozz culture.

I remember EB Games / Babbages / Gamestop encouraging you to trade in games for store credit and barely giving you anything credit at all. I remember going into Spencers Giftts to look at lewd and rude things. I remember trying to find some nice suede "skater" shoes at the Shoe Show and getting clothes on sale at Old Navy. Plus the food court being full of either old people or freaks depending on what time you went there.

Now U.S. malls are full of smelly, aggressive, thieving, shitskinned subhumans so no actual human being wants to go there anymore.

I'm not so sure about that last part. They actually look more civilized than basketball americans.

That's not saying much.

Mall of 56% American

Malls were never worth the markup you paid.
Toys R Us was where everyone got their games in the Atari - SNES generations.

Shopping malls were developed by an Austria-born Jew as seedbed communities for socialism in America. It's no surprise that our physiocratic cargo cult mentality would seep in given how closely related it is to socialism.

Minnesota is filled with swedes, take a guess what they did.

Because niggers and other slave apes aren't people, and thus, everything that they touch gets worse.

american think malls were good unironically?

We get it dude. Malls kinda suck nowadays because they're 90% clothing stores instead of 60%. As it turns out that's all that fucking sells.

Really makes you think.

Mall culture is actually more a 70s and 80s thing. good job on outting yourself as a millennial shitter

I'm convinced most of the faggots in here screeching about how malls are bad are redditors who were born in the late 90s (97, being generous here) and the only time they set foot in a mall is the 2000s when most malls were overrun with niggers and gangbangers using the places.

that mall looks like a modern day bizarre

Good, those fucking concrete monstrosities have wrecked so many communities and local markets it isn't funny.

...

Same, but mostly when I'm alone and have the unwanted time to think. Gotta' stay distracted. Bad memories are like a deep rut in a trail. You have to wear new trails in the wilderness of memory, and wear them deeper than those painful recollections. The hard part is actively suppressing the bad memories so you can feel not-shit enough to actually build decent memories. Then you realize it's too late.

prove it.

Malls were only good pre-internet for getting lesser known/specialty goods and services, post internet for whale watching. But, there's hardly a point is going all the way to a mall to mock fat people lumbering between the food court and various shops because you can just go to WalMart and see even more spectacular views of the fall of western civilization.

How are multi-million-dollar altars to consumerism "seedbeds for socialism"?

Since when do they immigrate when selling their shitty Dead Sea products? They just head there as "art students" for the sake of a temporary scam and head back to give the money to their crime bosses and datamining to their government.

The two countries were damn near at war just 20 years ago and there's still a lot of tension between them, who drew this?

Someone who's not shooting his own countrymen at least.

It's not a shopping plaza, it's now a venue for Blue Man Group performances.

Really sad both the arcade and non Gamestop store closed down in the Colonial Commons mall but at least The East Mall had both an arcade and a retro enthusiast store the last time I visited Harrisburg with my father. Got Oni, Toy Commander, and a VMU in the latter, wish I had the money to get a Saturn and mod it there too. The malls there bring back memories of getting some of my earliest games and the former is where I received my Gamecube. One of the few things I miss from living in that part of Pennsylvania; anyone ever went there?

Freemasons/Occultists who are laying down their plans for the future New World Order.

I used to work at a mall in San Diego for a few years. Or as I like to call it, "the ass parade". It's a bunch of jailbait walking around, mallrats, cinnabon. The good ol' days.

It's easy to blame Amazon when this is just another symptom of the Jewish popcult and civic nationalism destroying another relic of Americana. I literally vacation to more white areas to enjoy the atmosphere which used to be everywhere.

...

This looks like the setting of a Scooby Doo episode.

But nobody mentioned the fact that they're mostly clothing stores before you. I was going to though. So I'm gonna reiterate your point. Every fucking store is just hipster clothing, completely ignoring any audience that isn't teenage girls. All the malls around me are nice looking and I've never experienced this hotbed of niggers, making me think that what you guys are describing as malls are what I would call flea markets. But it's a moot point because there's no reason for me to go to a mall unless I want a new blouse or whatever the fuck women buy.

But…Malls had family businesses in them?

Nah niggah.

No, but i miss video-game stores. Simply because that you could find games you never heard of before or games you liked but with local discount-prices and whatnot.

auntie anne isn't actually your aunt fatass

...

I fucking hated malls

The local mall near me still has an arcade but %80 of the cabinets are just prize games.

Malls sell cool merchandise, unhealthy but delicious food, look neat as fuck, and serve as social gathering places. If you don't at least understand why malls were popular then you probably have autism. Now of course society has decayed to the point that people are too anti-social to appreciate the gathering place aspect and too lazy to physically shop for things they can buy an Amazon.

...

I just checked the mall's website, it's a Round 1. So there's one in michigan at great lakes crossing. Now to scrape together what friends I have and drag them out there for fighting games and cheap beer.

nope

We can gather in pleasant places without stores.

Because they're from a time in American history at the absolute peak of our decadence and consumerist culture. It was during the retail boom, and consumer spending was at an alltime-high. Driven by newfound confidence in the capitalist system brought upon by the dissolution of the Soviet Union. It was during a time when children still actually went outside still. Before 9/11 happened driving this country into destructive hysteria. They're a product of a bygone age.

POLICE, ARREST THIS MAN

The irony is the modern public spaces movement is one of the most kike-driven movements of the modern age. Products of Marxist urban planning of the mid 20th century. Turning our cities and nature into a gigantic Disneyland attraction to keep us in line. Make no mistake, all these public playgrounds are part of the movement sucking the very soul from our culture

What kind of an asshole do you have to be to get mad at people reading books outside?

I'm not mad at the fatasses reading books lad, I feel pity for them more than anything. They have nowhere else to go but some cosmopolitan setup

An asshole who is correct. You have before you the collected library of mankind. You can find countless films, numberless musical compositions, and nigh-infinite written works. Yet these people go outside, away from this source of wisdom and knowledge, and revert back to the primitiveness of paper, the barbarism of the softcover. And they do it in a public place too.

You know, I was going to make some kind of a snide remark about how all those books would be ruined by the next pop-up shower… but then I realized that the surest means of destroying anything is to open it up for public use.

Thank Christ nobody goes to libraries, or all they'd be left with is a bunch of shredded pages stuck together in their worn binding with human feces.

What about a fucking library?

Libraries ought to be scoured for books to be scanned and copied into a digital format, so that they may be immortal, rotless, beautiful. As it stands, there's still some knowledge rotting on shelves across the world.

Yes nigga.

I don't know what the fuck you're talking about, but literally the entire point of malls was having a centralized shopping center anyone could rent a space in. Malls are dead BECAUSE the only people left in them are big brand names. Only department stores have survived there, although there's also a locally owned hipster places like a tea shop in mine.

...

Totally free digital books at that. If there was a button to put everything ever created into the public domain, I would push that button.

What happens when it rains?

Have you heard of tarps?

I used to borrow movies from the library back in the day. Some libraries even offered PC games which was heaven especially if the game didn't require the disc so you can play even after it was due.

I forgot that store existed. Last time I went there was to get a Wii back in 2008. Much better than the cancer that is GameStop.

Man, my library had some good shit to check out. I found a lot of gems that way.

>Have you heard of tarps?

Tarps are gay, user.

My brotha

There's still a few mall arcades here in California. It's still not worth living here.

Mine didn't close until 2012. Everyone was surprised it lasted so long, but I'd ride by it on my way home from school for years and always saw people in there up until they closed. Even I'd sometimes pick up gift cards there because it was a convenient location.

I tried to rent from the library back when I was maybe 10-13 but my local one said only my parents could rent movies. No idea what the age restriction was. (My college has movie rentals surprisingly. They've even had Pokemon movies since before Pokemon X/Go came out, so it pre-dates the recent craze.)

sleep tight pupper

thank mr skeltal

You intentionally misundertand me m8. Libraries are dedicated buildings like schools or churches. These public spaces on the other hand are taints to once natural landscapes. They're signs of our contribed need to break free of urban jungles

That's what I do whenever my friends or family feel like dragging me to a mall. I'm really glad I look young and don't have to be subtle about staring at teens. Occasionally they'll notice me checking them out and make conversation. I just pretend I'm still a senior at the high school I graduated from. I remember enough of my teachers to make it believable. I just realized I've been out of high school for almost 9 years now. I turned 27 today.

Something colorful and fun, probably from your childhood, has been reduced to a boring grey structure. Its literally your life (And ours too)

Mine were unleaded water and leaded fuel.

Stop sharing the vision your jew masters implanted in you and you will realize, it's not necessary to actually work yourself to have money…What i am saying is:
"Study hard for you to have a good job and earn money"
This is jewery that "they" brainwashed you to think as correct, this is not truth, see the world with your own eyes, not the world they made you think is the real one…

lol what a casual

everytiem

all this depressing shit makes me want America to reform into a proper fucking empire.
too bad there's no Justinian to save us (yet)
maybe we need a Rudolf to fucking murder people

I prefer the magic of market streets to the magic of a mall by far. There's one right around the corner where I live. Also, most anons here are men, and as such, do not have interest in shopping or window shopping.

Unless that mall shit had an arcade, a bowling alley, or a pool table, I was not interested.

Ain't that the fuckin' truth.

I hate it. I'm finishing up my degree, but outside of class I still get asked what college I plan to attend after high school. I turn 25 next month.

But i did not meant those.
Send time with family and friends, on someone's house or some natural landscape, if you can find one.
Avoid urban public spaces at all costs.

do you actually miss them ?

Whenever I try to ask a girl out, they always laugh and say "wait until you're older and get out of high school, kid." I'll be 23 this year.
The same thing still happens with my older sister and she's 34, but at least she has someone.

Don't know how to help you there laddy. I stay clean shaven, people still think I'm 30. I'm only 25. Are your parents 100% european, or are they mutts?

It could be worse. A friend asked a girl out on a date and then she tried to invite some other guy as a third wheel. It was fucking retarded.

My mall never had an arcade even when arcades were still relevant.

post nude lewds

don't
t. was third wheel once

When did you catch on, user? Honestly though, I think the girl was super ghetto.

except these places sell wholesale

Happy birthday. Mine was on Valentine's Day. I just wanted to be alone and play video games. I turned 29.

Don't worry user you are not alone. When I think about my past, things probably no one else remembers, I flinch and think about self harm until I get distracted.

It just sorta happened, but I resigned myself and really thought about tfw no gf for a while afterwards.

I remember going to the mall to walk and the magic of finding a bookstore that wasn't just Barnes and Noble and one of the first acts of independence was asking your parents to stay at this play while they shop around for clothes while you can read to your heart's content. And I remember when malls weren't just fucking clothes only. They had more variety. Now imagine yourself as an adult who witness their favorite bookstore or childhood store filled with toys and electronics replaced by another fucking women's clothings store.

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

in the 1980s, there were a bunch of crappy businesses that built "family entertainment centers" (lava links, boomers, malibu grand prix etc etc) which were places that had like giant arcades, miniature golf, a playground, and a go kart track or a small waterpark, the vast majority of these places went insolvent and bellyup for a variety of reasons and ended up being torn down, many older anons grew up to watch a sentimental tacky arcade be physically ripped apart

Malls are such pleasant space. It is actually epitome of pedestrian entertainment/leisure street
"Public spaces" pushed by urbanism are joke comparing to the mall. Only US lost to the "diversity" turning safe place into crime spots.

That is similar concepts. These warehouses cut off by membership barrier consumers that bring more expenses than revenues.

...

the only good thing about it was going to the Movie Trade and getting some Red Sonja comics and talking to a guy about Ideon.

lower violent crime rate

you do realise that was a reality for many of us
so no, malls weren't always shit
diversity just killed the magic

...

...

what the fuck is wrong with you?

Doesn't surprise me. It's a hipster place with a 90s nostalgiaboner. At least you have a good arcade. Count your blessings user.

using your hand like that is perfectly reasonable, since its faster than putting on sunnies or pivoting your cap around.

I worked in the receiving department of a mall and would see the same fucking old people going in there at like 7am through the one entrance unlocked for us. They would just walk around and wait for stores to open.

What shithole do you live in to have all this happening outside and to malls being a preferable option?

That is what is said. If you live in any place were there aren't 100% White People, malls will be shit.

heh I ended up building a level of that in cryengine with a few custom blender assets

I don't have any screencaps but I do have a text file left from the final thread.
