What 80's Arcades Really Looked Like by Ok so... (www.youtube.com)

Do you think 80's arcades were dark rooms with colorful carpets and neon lights? That was hardly the truth. This video does a fantastic job covering the diverse aesthetics of several chains of amusement centers as they tried to distance themselves from the seedy establishments where teenagers would skip school.

Piped has never worked for me, I don’t know why.

Did your instance do something weird here? My thread is a YouTube link.

Ah! It’s a setting in the app I’m using that I forgot about. I’m using a flight test app on iOS called “arctic”, and there’s an option to auto convert YouTube videos to piped.

There’s actually a long list of piped servers I could switch between, so I should just experiment and see if I find one first.

Thanks for the reply.
