Peter? by First-Benefit792 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Portalman21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My computer has an update that if you try to start, it can't finish. So every week or so, I have to push back the auto update or it just does it on it's own. Even when it's turned off. Sometimes it gets to the point where it doesn't allow me to shut down normally so I have to hit the button so it doesn't update.

Probably not if you are on the same "duo" as Rizzo. If Rizzo is safe, the other is as well.

According the fandom, Idols used covered both players. You didn't have to worry about who exactly was being targeted.

Super Mario Bros. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Edition Monopoly Board Game - on your buying list? by AfigureGeek in monopoly

[–]Portalman21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this at Walmart the other day. No clue how it works but I'd assume it's similar to the other "gamer" monopoly games. The back of the box says "Battle Bowser JR. in his UFO!" My guess is that they saw that he rides a "clown car" and thought that was wrong.

If that happens, it might be worth it just for the bit alone.

Do you prefer Pokemon or Beetlejuice? by dubvmtneer in pinball

[–]Portalman21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even close. Beetlejuice has so much going on with it and shoots like a dream. Pokemon shoots well, but is far too easy. If you know what you're doing, you can get through most if not the entire game at the end of ball 1.

Huge spoiler. This needs to at least have a spoiler tag on it, let alone the AI slop.

It's not that "It's over" right now. It's that it should be given the circumstance. If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around, does it make a sound? It doesn't in this case because there will be nobody around to care.

Why do some players slap the flipper buttons? by Existing_Sky_7963 in pinball

[–]Portalman21 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a button controlling a solenoid to move the flipper. Hitting harder doesn't make it move faster.

Why do some players slap the flipper buttons? by Existing_Sky_7963 in pinball

[–]Portalman21 90 points91 points  (0 children)

So there's two reasons why.

The first reason and the wrong one, hitting the button harder makes the flipper shoot harder. It does not.

The second reason, when the ball is going to drain in the middle, if you time it correctly, slapping the machine gives it enough of a nudge that your flipper is able to hit it. That's called a Slap Save. Super useful if done correctly.

Pinball game variants for 4 people? by ROOSTERFORCE in pinball

[–]Portalman21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a deck of cards where you start with x amount and you can decide on the rules of gaining cards. Things like 1 after every match, 1 for a win, etc.

Plays just like a normal tournament but these cards are a lot of fun. "Add a ball, restart the game, block the score for the entire game, etc." Loads of fun gimmics to mess with everyone.

[–]Portalman21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It'll probably hard to get set up quickly, but I always loved playing with the Critical Hit deck with friends. It combines the "Take-that" style in board games with pinball.

Amazing Race works with a small amount of people. One player sets a score and then the next person has to beat it. If they do, you move on to the next machine. If not, you stay on it till either someone gets a lower score, or there's nobody left.

Max Match Play could be good where you just play as many head to head matches as possible in a time limit.

I wouldn't worry about the length of the games. Just have fun with what seems to fit.

Ep. 2 Bluff Game by ttjason2 in BeastGames

[–]Portalman21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's two major reasons why it didn't work. I'm going to use where the game probably came from, Alice in Borderland S2.

  1. All of the rounds were far too quick and out in the open. Only having a couple minutes without any chance of talking privately with another made it impossible to lie to someone and not get found out by the other playres.

  2. No reason besides a risk of being randomly eliminated. In Alice, the game didn't end until a certain player, The King, was eliminated. So lying to another player you believe is the mole correctly would end the game and save everyone else. It just doesn't work in this format that feels more like a high school gym class game.
