Xander Revolution (concept, 2023)
Concept for a fandom-inspired story; Xander, a dedicated arcade gets wrapped in a battle that decides the fate of the local arcade. He wins, the place stays. He looses, the place gets bought out.

If this were a longer series, I'd imagine it'd stay between 5 issues long and Xander throughout it would have a character arc about getting more humble / less standoffish in the hobby. Where in his first appearence he would be cocky, elitist, probably that guy that hogs a cab when there's a que & by the end he realises he shouldn't be defending the arcade for himself, but for others as well.

If you're out of the loop, modifying public cabs is a very controversial topic in the rhythm game community.
Baby powder is one of the most controversial, as it not only risks damaging hardware if the pads are loose, but the lack of friction could cause tripping hazards for players stepping on w/o expecting it.
