Perfect. They've got a place for me to plug in my Game Gear.

That machine feels anomalous somehow. Like it only dispenses drinks that never existed or something.

My favourite part of the Backrooms movie is where he says "It's backroomin' time".

Dad here.

I generally struggle with this type of event so it's great to go explore with the kids and have an excuse for not mingling.

It doesn't really matter that the room is boring or liminal or whatever. Exploring is grade-A entertainment for toddlers. There's guaranteed to be a dropped paperclip or pen cap or some other treasure in here somewhere.

Liminal pepsi

Yes, but it’s this Pepsi vending machine

This is so real. I got taken to so many MLM conferences and health/wealth events as a kid and this is 100% like the upstairs rooms we found to wait it out.

My dad had some powerful friends. They rented out an aquarium in Tampa for a wedding, and my family went. Because the place was completely empty, my parents just let me run where ever I want. I gotta tell you, that's some real backrooms shit.

I used to play around in a mormon church when it wasn't in service because it was like one of these weird liminal spaces in the halls, and the main chapel part was like a space ship. I had access because it was where my choir class was held, since it had a music hall.

Backrooms?

My parents wouldn't have gone there, but my little brother and I would've explored the shit out of places like this. Seeing someplace so empty would've triggered our imaginations, we'd probably end up pretending the room is actually full of stuff but it's all invisible or something.

I remember this machine, it was out of stock on everything but Fresca and wouldn't give me my quarters back.

youve just explained the underlining concept of the backrooms

This must be where the almond water comes from.

Giving me serious Black Mesa vibes.

Ohhhh, Back Rooms!
