Slept in your arcade

My whole family slept in our arcade a long time ago, before we had a standby generator. Huge storm in the summer of 2013 that knocked our power out for 13 days, and it was coolest in the basement where the gameroom is.

After adding the generator, I can play the games while my house runs on natural gas. Probably did that once or twice in the past 10+ years.

Fascinating comment. Did the games behave okay on the generator power? And were you running an inverter generator or a regular one? Inquiring minds want to know.

The answer to the topic thread for me is yes, absolutely, because my games are in a large room that I use for a variety of things and there's a sofa, chairs, TV, etc. in that room.
 
Yeeeeeah...

Lately I've been taking naps on the couch in there after a few hours of work at the bench. It's nice and dark and quiet, and especially during the winter time it's super cozy. I think about it when I'm having trouble getting to sleep in my own bed.

Yeah, I don't remember having any strange behavior from the games. I don't think it's an inverter generator, it's a cheap automatic standby (automatic being key for us) that has a small engine in it, nothing fancy. It sure takes the stress out of power outages, though the frequency of outages we've had since 2013 has been much lower (power company got a lot of heat for all the outages and has been more aggressive at tree trimming and such.)
 
Does it count if I fall asleep on the couch watching a boring movie the wife picked out, in the same room as the arcade is in?
 
I once slept in a Pole Position cockpit. Then woke up and drove 12 hours home. Saying that now makes me tired. I must have been much younger...
