    Going back to the picture, what the hell does “uniquest” mean, particularly in this context?

    #33 5 years ago
    Quoted from RCA1:

    That one I think I can answer. He means "most unique", but can't get the grammar correct. I don't think he means "uni-quest".
    No answer about the repeated begging for money, except I'm out on that.

    Thanks for clarifying. I think going on a uni-quest to the Gameseum could be...interesting?

    Legit question: How is the name of the place pronounced?

    Game-zem?
    Ga-me-zem?
    Gam-es-em?

    Does he need to make a commercial like Rakuten to teach people how to say the name of his business?

    First rule of marketing: make it easy for people to ask for your product by name

    Quoted from Da_Vagrant:

    You said 10,000 customers weren't necessarily @$25/each, but you'd probably need 12,000 @$25 to pull a surgeon's income. You need to get your story straight
    I suppose one thing in your favour... You're not the only person struggling: I do see many go-fund-me campaigns for doctors and surgeons these days. In fact, my favourite coffee shop just started collecting money for a local cardiac surgeon

    Median surgeon salary in the US is 394K a year. Divide by 12, and let's call it $32.8K/month. Divide that by $25, and that means 1,313 people a month paying $25 a pop for you to make a surgeon salary. Before expenses. And taxes.

    GTFO with this bullshit. Your arcade is not doing this type of revenue. No arcade with the exception of maybe some of the big family fun centers are doing revenues like this, and that is because of food and beverage. If you were doing this, you would not need a GoFundMe. You have done a great job as a young businessman but your hyperbole is moronic and reflects horribly on you. Stop beating your chest, stop saying stupid shit, and focus on offering the best experience that you can to your customers. That is how you will gain respect and business.

    Can we get this picture stickies on the front page or one as one of the banners?

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    I’m sure robin will be happy to sell us a spot

    I will pay for it.

    Quoted from RWH:

    Perhaps I'm missing a fad here (like the bedhead trend) or just a dinosaur who's out of touch but does Steven ever comb his hair? He looks so raggedy in every pic/video he's in I just don't get it.

    What are you talking about? It takes a lot of effort to look that good!

    Folks, we have 1 of 2 things going on here. Steve and "whomever" else is posting from Gameseum is either delusional or trying to troll. Either way, it is a horrible look and they need to stop before they damage their reputation further. So here is some free advice for Steven, but I don't trust that he is either smart enough or self-aware to take it: #paytheboob and then never post again. It's that simple.

    Typical PR playbook is that you either acknowledge bad press and drop it or just ignore it from the get go. By going on these screeds all you do is hurting yourselves and giving fresh meat to the masses. Nothing that you or your "proxies" say trying to justify your behavior is going to make things better or change people's opinions on you unless you do the right thing. Make Randy whole, and go away. You will preserve some dignity and this will blow over. If not, it doesn't.

    Don't even think about not making Randy whole. You will never win this battle. You have the perception of a self-centered, narcissistic brat who is ungrateful and unaware. The perception of Randy is that he is a great guy who works hard to have the things that he has. He tried to help somebody out and this is how he is repaid. You taking advantage of a teacher who was trying to help you will be your albatross.

    Steven has tried to spin this left and right to deflect blame but the simple, correct, and best answer is to acknowledge the issue, rectify it asap, and drop it. Although you might not win back opinion from all folks, people will acknowledge that you did the right thing, which does have merit.

    And for "whomever" was saying that Steve has a good reputation outside of Pinside I challenge you to prove it. The only way to do that is make Randy whole.

    Didn’t things on KLOV end poorly also?

    Dunno. Not on KLOV.

    There is some weird phrasing in the responses. "All corners of the situation" is said numerous times. It's almost like somebody is trying to sound more high-faluting than they are. Or ran text through a translator or something. Very...awkward. Maybe it's this new-fangled social media speak that I am too old and stupid to understand?

    Meanwhile in Epharata...

    Quoted from Gameseum:

    for a situation that (supposedly) occurred between a teenage Steven and Randy many years ago no less,

    You don't buy replacement parts for a "supposed" situation.

    My Hook made 5 bucks tonight. I guess that means I am 500% more successful than Sweatpants?
