glad I got to experience an actual McDonald’s play place when I was younger because What the fuck even is this
The squished up chicken nuggets I saw on the slides were more exciting than this bullshit
@4caddit@wetdry.world Neither seen nor heard.
@4caddit oh my god near where i used to live there was a mcdonalds that had this massive cube room with a massive playplace, full of slides and tubes and stuff, and coming back to it years later it's all just tables and tablets with in a room with massive glass windows and massive ceiling, it's kinda crazy
@4caddit Looks like Severance for Kids
@4caddit The 10 year old said “that’s dumb” and then asked what apps are on the touchscreens
@4caddit clockwork orange type shit
@4caddit this is dystopic
@4caddit@wetdry.world they really are just training them to become ipad kids at this point. not even trying to be interesting about it anymore this is literally just "Bare Minimum for Annoying Brats"
and even then this would probably underdeliver because it's not twelve subway fucking surfers at once with whatever's trending this week mixed with it. everyone's just lowering the bar until they literally just give them nothing - and even then they'd charge them for it
@4caddit The more I stare at this the more dystopian it gets
@4caddit@wetdry.world I don't know what these new Play Places are like, but this radiates "shitty mobile games on a dying Kindle tablet" energy
@4caddit@wetdry.world this is the scam you build when management tells you "build a play place. it needs to be done by 3 days ago."
@4caddit@wetdry.world literally 1984
@4caddit this feels like something out of severance
@4caddit actually, it reminds me how at least some american schools lock 'misbehaving' children in solitary confinement
@4caddit Wow that’s depressing as hell. When I was a kid I remember having a birthday party in the ball pit etc. Great times.
@4caddit twenty years from now folks'll be reminiscing abt all the great times they had in the Experience Room
