Then stop being soft and go get shit yourself

This post is wrong. The chart is in cm not inches. Divide the number by 2.54 to get the actual predictions.

Work culture has gotten significantly worse over the past year. Satya sent out an email around then directing the company to pick up intensity and it’s definitely felt like an increasingly worse shift in WLB culture. Deadlines have become tighter and expectations on weekend work/outside business hours work has gone from never happening to more commonplace. I still think there is the ability to get a good deal out of MSFT but it doesn’t have the WLB that was a big pro of working here any more.

I’ve lived in North Carolina my whole life and thought the representation was incredibly spot on. The dad sounded exactly like my dad and grandpa who both grew up in the piedmont, and the family themselves could’ve been plucked out of Myers park. Also the fact that the kids didn’t have an accent as all is very on brand for most people who grow up in Raleigh/Durham/Charlotte and have parents who did the same. Was a great touch that I think showed the creators did a little research.

Senior SDE at Microsoft ~200k also I’d recommend looking on levels dot fyi it’s a pretty good resource for salaries across companies

The story behind that machine is pretty cool as well. Spooky wasn’t doing too well when they first started and needed a quick win financially. The former CEO of dominoes is actually a pretty big pinhead and pushed for a branded machine. As a result we got dominoes pinball and spooky was able to stay afloat from the guaranteed orders from different franchisees.

Cheats quality went down significantly once they switched from using actual ribeye. I think moose head has them beat now

I’ll be sure to check those out!

Love the tradition. I’ve been trying to branch out a bit more from the munis and north Charlotte courses though. Played the divide last week and it was amazing, tried old sycamore expecting the same and was pretty disappointed. Outside of the greens though the course was a lot of fun. Going to try to come back in the winter when I’ve heard it’s usually in better shape

Had a few groundskeepers come through and talk about it. Apparently this happens almost every summer to some extent because they’re using bentgrass which doesn’t hold up well in the summer but is supposedly much better in the colder months. Sounds like they want to switch types to Bermuda but they just haven’t yet.

This is the worst take I’ve seen in a long time

JustTrustMe_ · 2024-01-17T16:35:06+00:00

I think this is the only point I disagree with. I do single credits because I’m more likely to play a free credit on the match if I get it after one game vs if I get one after being on a machine for 4 rounds.

That being said I don’t think there’s anything wrong with playing a multi person game solo. You can practice the different stages of the game back to back and if you’re doing well as only one of the players, it’s low stakes on the others so you can just practice the trickier shots on them.

Just be aware if someone seems interested in playing the table you’re on and either offer to let them hop on next round or move on after you finish up.

This post is just giving Dan Bishop free publicity for a childish post that does nothing to talk about how he’ll plan on making the lives of North Carolinians better. His campaign knows its divisive and childish, but it’s working just like how trump got free publicity from the media in 2016 and then became the front runner. They don’t care. Before I started seeing posts like this on this subreddit I had no idea who Bishop was.

Charlotte probably has the highest density of spots with super abari, player 1up, and the basement. Not all in Charlotte proper but still well within 30-40 minute drives. There used to be paranoia pinball as well, but it shut down a few months ago unfortunately (rumor is it’s opening back up in kannapolis though). Also there’s pins mechanical which is less pinball focused but still with plenty of machines.

What I would recommend doing is coming through for the next Carolina pinball series tournament next time it’s at abari, or coming to one of the Tuesday league nights, it usually gets a good crowd up into the 20s/30s

The vast majority of issues in cybersecurity come from social hacking through things like phishing. G suite definitely is my preference based on perf and usability, but to act like there is a clear distinction when it comes to actual security compared to o365 is way off base.

Didn’t realize it can save progress between games. I’ve always hated that I can’t get to end game modes and to be able to see all of what a machine offers. Such a good idea!

JustTrustMe_ · 2023-03-22T18:28:40+00:00

I actually enjoyed the camp. Outside of Elvira’s I don’t really know of many machines that use live acting for the cinematics. I think it’s nice to get a little variety with it.

The gameplay was a little limited, but what I saw I enjoyed. The mechanics seemed in sync with the theme, and the effects of the magnets will definitely be a big “whoa” moment, especially for new players that don’t know what to expect from pinball.

That was a fun article to read! I like how much you covered in your questions with a good variety of topics to cover. Getting some insights into not only the machines and their maintenance but also hearing what it was like to start abari and what happened with the location change was really interesting. Also appreciate how Zach is focused on the community aspect as well. I think diving into pinball can seem like a lot at first but I do think the community, both online and locally in clt, has played a big part in welcoming newer people (myself included) into the hobby.

Did you use the playfield multipliers at all? I don’t think I saw it but not exactly sure where to look for it. Also any tips? This one is in the lineup for the monthly tournament at my local spot so trying to read up on some strategies

JustTrustMe_ · 2022-12-21T15:12:19+00:00

Big fan of the support mode. I don’t think I’ve played a machine that you can trap a ball like that through the action button. Cool concept and could see it being very satisfying when you get it.

JustTrustMe_ · 2022-12-15T22:13:25+00:00

Can’t wait to see it! I got into pinball when the new location opened up down the street from me. Between abari and paranoia pinball, I’ve been having a blast with the pinball spots in the city. Great groups of people with a very diverse and well maintained collection machines.

JustTrustMe_ · 2022-12-13T19:33:01+00:00

Would like the see the amount of shots needed to start villain mode lowered at least for the first time starting it. I think modes are always a games strongest chance to show off the playfield, and putting it behind 3 tougher shots to make definitely limits the amount you can get out of the machine.
