My 7-month experiment with arcade in Kuala Lumpur

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

I started this because my quiet Sunday felt a little stuck, and nostalgia seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

Yep, the boring details matter.

Beautifully put. I needed that reminder today. I noticed the same thing in Manila.
