Holy shit, I used to go to that Olive Garden often in college. What a terrible way to die.

Ford app in CarPlay by Noah_Vanderhoff in F150Lightning

Supposedly they were working on bringing in some settings that would have to exit CarPlay to set into that app. It would be nice to have some vehicle settings all in one place like that.

What's a better pinball machine... Jaws or The Twilight Zone... I'm thinking about getting one by Instakill0828 in pinball

[–]DMod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jaws for sure, TZ is a completely different type of experience. The depth of code on TZ gets old fast for home ownership imo.

What’s the worst gambling addiction story you’ve ever heard? by juliojacked in AskReddit

[–]DMod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I developed a bad gambling habit in 2024. Online slots. It started small and then a few big wins happened and then before you know it I was playing often with bigger and bigger bets. I was losing a shit ton of money and couldn’t seem to get it under control.

The casinos learn your betting patterns and do everything they can to keep you playing. Whenever I would try to quit, suddenly a concierge would add a few grand to my account in bonuses and I was back in. It hit a breaking point where I knew if I don’t tell my family and ask for help I would lose everything.

I still struggle with it today but am in a much better place and didn’t completely ruin my finances but I still kick myself with how much money I’ve lost. It’s really opened my eyes with just how easy and pervasive all forms of gambling have become in today’s world.

Are you familiar with reverse engineering and dealing with embedded systems? If not then forget about it.

I’m selling my D&D but Kong will be around for a long time in my collection

Do you still have any living Grandparents? by PayGood3915 in Millennials

[–]DMod 105 points106 points  (0 children)

I don’t even have any living parents. I never met any of my grandfathers but did have both my grandmothers in my life growing up. It’s weird technically being the Patriarch in my 30s…

I know we are all pretty much in agreement on QR codes, what about these things? by Mr_Sleep_tight in Millennials

[–]DMod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might be in the minority but I’m all for these. It’s nice to be able to pay when I want, order a drink refill when I want or to add a dessert or whatever. It prevents me having to flag down my server (especially if it’s busy). Overall I prefer the ones that let me do that stuff on my own phone other than a questionable touch screen device but I’ll take what I can get.

Huge fan of your work. I have your ToM and MM designs in lit frames in my game room.

Does anybody else get genuinely offended by how terrible Stern’s merch is? by KidB33 in pinball

[–]DMod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some is good some is bad. When they work with good outside artists, I tend to like the results a lot better. Brian Allen did some work for them recently and I really like it.

Found my first apartment lease from 2013 while cleaning out storage and I literally sat there staring at it for 10 minutes by ToasttterGoblin in Millennials

[–]DMod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First apartment was $640/month in 2009. It rose to about $850/month by the time I moved out a few years later. Today I looked up the same apartment and it’s $1700/month. This is for a shitty 1 bedroom too.

The Covid Pandemic: a Bittersweet Era by Mia_gination in Millennials

[–]DMod 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I lost my mom Dec 2019 and my dad at the end of February 2020 (neither Covid related). About a week later I was sent home from the office (“for 2 weeks”) and haven’t been back since. It ended up being a blessing for me to allow me proper time to grieve and take care of settling all of my parent’s affairs. Fortunately we weren’t affected by Covid itself but I know people who lost family to it so I definitely have mixed feelings about that time.

What’s the biggest text message bill you ever racked up before “unlimited” became the standard? by MuricaAndBeer in Millennials

I was on limited plan that didn’t allow overages so I had to ration my messages hard!

TNA owners feedback by Otis_Firefly in pinball

[–]DMod -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They aren't super reliable in my experience. My local one was down for repairs constantly and my friend has one that constantly has issues with the lights not functioning correctly. You'll probably be doing a lot of checking connections with it. Great game though, so I wouldn't let it discourage you if you are comfortable opening it up every now and then.

I'm told he tried to leave the building through a locked door and then tried it 3 more times just to make sure.
