    I’d like to have spaces a bit like karaoke bars, where you can rent a room with some friends and watch TV or play videogames and order food and drinks. And maybe even karaoke. I hate theaters because the general population is insufferable, but watching a movie with friends is still fun.

      Many cinemas let you do that, but it’s naturally hella expensive because they are too big. Wonder if it would be profitable enough.

      Maybe both, a karaoke place with a big screen?

      That was a thing for both karaoke and video rental when I lived in Korea in the nineties.

      The karaoke was more a place to go with a group of friends and the video place was more to go for a private place to grope your girlfriend while you watched the latest Tom Hanks movie. Think going to blockbuster, but then they immediately put the movie on in a private room for you.

      Sometimes in the summer, I’d go rent a video room by myself so I could take a nap in a dark air conditioned space.
