This has nothing much to do with anything but there are Donkey Kong sound effects in the background of a pizza parlor scene in the Mare of Easttown finale and I feel like TV/film sound designers have been using the same video game sound effect library selections for way too long.

On the other hand if a place had an arcade machine AT ALL in the present day… it might well be a Donkey Kong cabinet? It would be interesting to like… graph the plausibility of the Donkey Kong sound effect over time.

Oh definitely! I WISH there were more Donkey Kong cabinets still out and about in the world! And the sound effects are iconic, quintessential video game stuff, so I understand their eternal appeal and the power of suggestion they carry.
