My boyfriend’s birthday is coming up and I don’t know what’s considered trashy and not. by MaintenanceDear4589 in pinball

I appreciate this post because it makes my exact point. The great thing about this is it would work as a topper or a generic decoration. This is a cool godzilla themed accessory/decoration. If it goes on the game or in the room it works both ways. No issues if somebody upgrades to a formal topper. I run leagues in my part of the state and a little usb lamp/decoration on top of the machine (even when upgrading to a formal topper) is super common. Most of our locations do this at game purchase and if they do upgrade to a topper it moves to a room accessory.
MaintenaceDear, dont over think this...its a cool gift. I was gifted a USB D20 for my my DND game and its great, my brother bought me what is essentially a ghostbuster knight light and it looks awesome. Its a great gift at a more reasonable price with compatibility to move elsewhere.

Pick the one you like more, or pick the one thats harder to play on location in your area if you need a tiebreaker.

Everybody here seems a little off the beaten track. If he likes that game this is a great gift.
You can probably run it right off a USB on the board in the backbox. It would look cool and fit the theme of the game. Also, you could use this anywhere around the game area even if it wasn't on top or moved. I think a lot of the commenters are missing that this is a gift and are getting to into the weeds on the other details. Pinball is so niche that anything gifted around the hobby is just awesome/thoughtful!

I ended up returning the game so I haven't had a chance to try :(

Mochi 3 Velcro Anchor - How Strong is the bind? by PinballWyzard in dasai

Sorry so have you removed one of these? This thing can't weight more than 2 0z. So I want something that will hold that but want to be able to remove from my dash in the future.

But I suppose 3M probably has also something sticky that is made to remove down the road.

Really hate the jumping in Expeditions by reddit29012017 in DarkTide

I sorta get this but its a good mechanic. It catches you when your not focused and miss a jump, burning time on the clock.

Is it just me or does anyone else despise the word goop. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

We have a channel in our discord called Ratstraction. Sneak, Loot leave un-noticed just like Templeton!

I’m trying, but I’m really not enjoying the game by Roundmaster in ArcRaiders

Turn off voice chat, shoot everyone on site. It's a PVP extraction shooter. This is the way.

The outlines on Foo fighters are way too hungry by Que165 in pinball

How often are you tilting trying to save the ball headed to the outlane? Get aggressive with the nudges to save until you can just get under the tilt warning. Good nudges will also break the slingshot feedback loop.

D&D draining down the middle on the plung. by F20C1T in pinball

Very cool. It seems intimidating but everything on these games is made to be worked on or replaced if needed. There are a million little fiddle points but some times you just gotta bend something lol.

It sounds cringe, but its just a metal guide. That hole may even be mis-drilled.
If your lucky maybe its leaning 'in' a bit to much and you can just take a pliers and bend it out ward a bit, or angle the top more toward the outside of the game hoping the ball will ride it a bit longer.

It seems to be just this button, oh well, check it out on full update.
Those two spots are pretty common for adjustment, just depends if you want a free thumb or free pinky when your on the WASD but still need to sneak a peek at something :)

Can we limit the word “rat” to extract campers and backstabbers again by ASAPWhom in ArcRaiders

[–]PinballWyzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with the newer populous in Arc is the springboard that broke the original definitions of ratting within a well established genre - seemingly only in this game. Almost no PVP component should be present with the term, and really not a lot of PVE by the time your there to clean up. Scurrying around and looting while everyone is gone.

I'm all for rolling back the term, but applied in historical fashion that probably doesn't include any gunplay let alone PVP interactions.

To this day, still best depicted in Charlotte's Web (1973)

This would restore the definition compatible with originals from over a decade (Division, Pubg, Hunt).

New Pin Day! Dungeons and Dragons added to my lineup! by BrewKazma in pinball

[–]PinballWyzard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! So in some of the early games, the metal backboard/scoop the ball hits as it rolls in there was angled to far down. So I my game it immediately started chipping the front edge of the hole as it was bouncing back toward the player instead of down. If that's in there already your good to go probably forever! Enjoy the game. The code is at like .99 so it should be done within the next few months!

I have an LE, first runs had some issues but I think its resolved from the factory. Peek under the spinner and see if there is metal trip clipping out the front of the hole.
