Well how else is he going to fortify his ridiculous amount of wealth from the unwashed masses?

Maybe that will ensure he behaves all the time ☺️

Not who you responded to, but I appreciate the honesty, lol. Tip of the hat to ya 🤠

Good stuff! I enjoy Banzai Run as well, my buddy and I always get a few rounds on that one at our local pinball haunt. That vertical playfield is super cool!

Never got to clock much time on Indy or Dredd, love AFM though. That’s a game i would consider for my collection someday–that one or Medieval Madness, both are just awesome games. I collect mostly late-70’s/early 80’s solid state games, though i have a particular soft spot for the classic Bally’s and Sterns from that era…

Woot woot! Congrats on that achievement, fellow pinball person! I scrolled this thread just to see if anyone mentioned ye olde silverball and I am not disappointed!

Own any pins? Top 3 favorite games?

Driving a manual in traffic sucks, even worse when you start getting a cramp in your clutch foot while in said traffic. I loved driving manual but i don’t miss it when i remember those days

My wife leaves the water running while brushing

I know this sounds crazy, but there’s a scientific basis for leaving the water running while you brush your teeth. See, I’m actually just making stuff up and wanted to see if I could get any bites lol

I realize I’m a bit late to the conversation, just wanted to say i agree with your sentiments.

I kinda felt that the whole tech world was a little better when it had a certain gatekeeping element, in that you had to know how to operate a computer to at least some degree to do anything with the Internet. While that does reduce the amount of potential users dramatically in its own right, it also cuts down on the signal-to-noise ratio similarly. Giving everyone phones didn’t necessarily make the Internet a better place, imo. But it also has given a voice to many who never would have had one (for better or worse, as well)…

Not every place needs an enormous user base to make it worthwhile or enjoyable. Too many comments def leaves you feeling like you don’t have a voice, but i guess too few and you wonder if anyone’s listening…

I appreciate the recommendation! Thanks!

In a few years, they’ll all be posing with AK-47s or similar

Any suggestions for a different company to buy cables etc from? I’ve bought their chargers and cables and been happy with them but I’m fine with trying something different next time.

This is exactly what i expect will happen, right down to the security concerns

I think they’re just trying to show off…or trying to monetize to pay for the damn thing, lol

I’m just gonna go ahead and believe this without further research, that’s too good an explanation to let go of, lol

I agree with much of what you said. Lemmy is (to me) a place to find memes, news, and shitposts. It’s not a place i would attempt to find a meaningful community for a specific hobby-- something Reddit was able to pull off to some extent. Even then, i found Reddit was often a low-quality substitute for communities that were often better served on a dedicated site and/or forum elsewhere. Reddit could still point you to those places though, so it all worked out imo. It’s a shame it all went down the way it did, nothing good ever lasts for very long–especially on the Internet :/

As an imperialist, i would have opted for 1/256"
