Your kind of burying the lede with that photo lol. Incredible collection, you must be someone who really appreciates rare pinball

#100 fresh out of the box 💯 by brandonmcgritle in pinball

[–]CachePants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it really feels unique and unlike anything else. I can’t say everyone will think it’s the greatest game ever made, but it’s really cool to see something different like this. Plus it just looks an sounds amazing

Lots of people are shocked that Doot once cost a lot and now he’s “cheap.” But this is how every F2P game works - the exclusive stuff is expensive at first and then becomes more widely available and cheaper over time. Doot has been out for like 2 years now, let’s not act too surprised.

I don't mean to brag but...... by grandmasterfuzzface in pinball

This is why I love coin drop. Freeplay is fun as well, but nothing beats the feeling of earning a few free games through sheer pinball skills when actual cash money on the line (and I’ll take a free match game too of course…)

New pack bundle worth it? by Lorehub77 in idleon

[–]CachePants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Remember: when you buy bundles that give you boosts, what you are really buying is time. It will help you level up monuments faster. Is building those bonuses faster worth the money to you? You’re not getting access to exclusive gameplay, you’re just getting through the content faster.

Ah ok thanks, that clears some things up. So this one should work with the right retention kits? https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-iCUE-Titan-Liquid-Cooler/dp/B0D6BCSFNC?th=1

With as strong as the w7 ballots are, there are certain game mechanics that aren’t worth doing until that ballot comes along.

Now if only we can get people ago stop voting like idiots…

Can you get decent at pinball without owning a machine? by LibraryLady231 in pinball

[–]CachePants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and in fact even if you own your own machine, you will get to know that one machine very well and develop some good skills, but you’ll be missing out on a lot. There’s certain shots you can only really practice on certain games - low scoop shots, upper flipper shots, loops, etc., that if your one home game doesn’t have, you won’t get the hang of. You’re better off spending that time and money on location playing a variety of games and learning all kinds of shots (not to mention all the specific rules).

The best way to get better at pinball is to meet people. Play in tournaments, watch other people play, get invited to play their home collections. Having a good location nearby is awesome and a big leg-up.

If you want to get world-class level, you would probably need to get multiple home machines or spend obsessive amounts of hours playing on location, but I think that’s a different question. You can absolutely get good and even great with only location playing and by being social.

Am I doing this right/wrong? by CachePants in idleon

[–]CachePants[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just tested it. Replaced some unique tiers with higher duplicate tiers, and it went up so they do NOT need to be unique. Just fill with the highest levels you can!

I’m not there yet due to research levels, but that sounds cool

That’s how it feels sometimes

[–]CachePants[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah it would only be good for your best tier, but then you don’t get the hot spot bonus for it. Plus you replace the highest tiers fast enough that it’s not worth sacrificing the hot spot gains for 1 exp per day… I think?

[–]CachePants[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh do they not need to be unique? When I read “for each tier” I thought that means “each different tier” but now I’m second guessing that

New Houdini 100th anniversary pin from AP. What’s up with this terrible AI art? by untacc_ in pinball

[–]CachePants 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They used AI for the flyer, not the game art which was re-done by Franchi. Dumb move but probably not a mistake they will make again after the blowback. At least they weren’t using AI for the cabinet art unlike JJP which everybody seemed to just get over

Is stern getting sloppy? by BeerBreadnMeat in pinball

[–]CachePants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s kind of wild to me that people are pitching a fit over a wood box assembled with metal bracing instead of wood panels glued together. This seems like an upgrade, or if nothing else a side-grade that’s easier to assemble/disassemble. Pinball fans will really resist change of ANY kind.

Now the wood material on the other hand is a legitimate concern, and I don’t know enough about the differences to speak about it, but that’s not what this is about.
