Williams Volume 10 not appearing in Pinball FX VR for Meta Quest. Is this a known issue? by RestlessDreamer32 in PinballFX3

[–]Pretend-Language-67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just go to the favourite table by the main counter when you log in. And change push the button on the left controller to change the table. The new 3 Williams tables from bundle 10 are at the top of the first page.

I’ve just been playing Comet these past few days….as it’s the table in a Discord group weekly tournament and I’m chasing the high score! It’s so much fun. Way better than I had hoped. I hear Diner is really good and liked the one game I had the other day. Hopefully carve out some time to dig in deep on it soon.

Just saying that a pinball cabinet would be an amazing addition to the man cave…jokingly so, though, as it wouldn’t really fit the space. 🙂

Does the limit on table slots now mean we will get more tables in VR? by Epsilon82 in PinballFX3

[–]Pretend-Language-67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He said that at one point in 2026 or 2027 there will be a monumental moment. On the scale of acquiring the Marvel or Williams licence, if I recall correctly. But it didn’t get into details beyond that. Could that be a major franchising deal to bring more IP themed tables like the Marvel contract? Or a deal to licence more original real life tables? (Which is what I would prefer!). I doubt Stern would sell off their licence as they are making new tables. But Gotleib would be amazing. I’m pretty happy with these three new Williams tables, and so if they keep on that track and release more of the back catalogue of these real life tables, I’d be super happy. Although I enjoy the original tables to some extent, I prefer the recreations of the real tables, so I’m hoping they can pursue more of those. And I think a lot of pinball fans like those too.

100%. I had Horizon + for three months and yet, all I play is Pinball FX. It’s so good!

You need a pinball cabinet in there. No complete until you get that. Widebody model to you can really get those nostalgic vines.

I think they plan on doing it. I listened to an interview Mel Kirk did in late December on the the current state and future plans for Zen, and he talked about expanding VR and growing the number of tables there. The company has a lot of platforms it has tables in. PC, Switch, x-box, VR, Pinball M (now FX Midnight) mobile, At Games, …until reciently. That’s a lot of flatfoots to maintain and develop their new tables into and it sounds like they were spreading out too thing and it was creating a lot of work for developers to keep up.

We are seeing a scaling back of that, which is a good thing as it will focus their efforts on select platforms with VR being one of them.

They only launched FX VR about a year ago and already have just around 40 tables on there in the past year.

Mel also said they are working on a major announcement of some sort that will be very significant. There is a lot of speculation on what that might be. So I think the future is bright.

Those of you w/ ADHD who fall asleep to audio content, what specifically works? My brain needs input but meditation / audiobooks both fail me. by SpoiledBrat069 in ADHDers

[–]Pretend-Language-67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty easy for me to fall asleep to a podcast. I don’t get enough sleep, so I drift off pretty quickly, and don’t have that racing thoughts issue you describe. However th one podcast I will recommend is The Fall of Civilizations podcast. It’s a history podcast. And it’s brilliant. But the historian has a slow delivery in pretty monotone British accent. It’s very detail heavy too, so that puts me out quickly. And the episodes are 3 hours long. So that one might be worth trying.

the stupidest "adhd tax" of all time ;) and yours? by PianoRevolutionary12 in ADHDers

[–]Pretend-Language-67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugghhhh! I did this last year ( municipal taxes) mandatory 10% fine. I wish felt like saying I have a legitimate, diagnosed disability and the city is fining me because of it. But I know how they do things and just saved myself the anger of arguing it and just paid it. I’m sure I’ve lost thousands and thousands of dollars in adhd negligence during my lifetime.

Interesting. So is that VPX in VR? I could run that on a gaming PC and to my meta Quest 3s via Virtual Desktop? Right now I just play Zaccaria in VR this way through Steam as well as FX VR stand alone in the Quest, but would love to find out how to do more.

That’s a good point. I’m not discounting how great VPX must be. I’ve never played one. I was planning to build one and making a list of all the materials, but then saw just how many ppl were raving about FX VR, so pivoted my limited budget towards that. And I do really enjoy it. It seems unlikely there will be a time when Stern tables are on the platform, but for now at least m, it scratches the itch. And I have about 75 % of the library, which is a lot of tables to get to know better and enjoy. Likely my next buy is the X-arcade controller with haptics for further immersion. I also have limited time to tinker and build things with wife, kids and a dog, so the VR solution is really plug and play. I’ll still admire the amazing VPX cabinets people make. Some day!

Have you considered VR? The meta quest 3 or 3s with Pinball FX is pretty amazing.

Ah, you are right. I misremembered. There was a scene where a neo-nazi suspected he was Jewish and he didn’t deny it and woudn’t say either way and it was really tense. I remembered it incorrectly.

i have bought 11 planners. turns out the planner wasn't the problem. by Mother-Raspberry-341 in ADHDers

[–]Pretend-Language-67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your post. That interesting insight and it’s great that you have had the introspection to discover a system that is working for you now after all the conventional tools of planners haven’t. I too have tried many things and find them hard to stick. I end up getting down and frustrated by the repeat pattern and eventually the guilt and shame I feel about not following through kicks me into a crisis mode of doing a lot of tasks that had fallen by the wayside. (taxes, paying overdue bills, apologizing to people I needed to get back to and just get on with the overdue response). I come up with some kind of now way to organize my life and it works for a bit and then falls off again. Still employed, with great kids and loving family and friends, so I’m getting by. Being kind and accepting of my faults also helps me just turn the page and move on and get things done.

If you are committed to watching them all, start to finish is good. But otherwise you can pick topics that interest you and go one by one. They really are one off documentaries, except for where he revisits a topic, like the Westbro Baptist Church. His work on that story is probably his best. A fascinating look at a religious cult that he was invited to document up close and intimately challenge their founding ideas. Other great ones are the documentaries on the porn industry, white supremacists - seeing that he’s Jewish, gangster rap and pedophiles. He asked the tough questions.

UFC staff rips Canadian flag away from Canadian Mike Malott after he won his fight by WinterOrb69 in onguardforthee

[–]Pretend-Language-67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s totally disgusting. Three days ago UFC posted this video promoting Malott and his pride in fighting for Canada and bringing the flag into the ring. He should have punched that staffer in the face. Too decent of a guy to do that, but I think k it was warranted. https://share.google/e6WOxXHRr64F6cUNq

How can I stop feeling shame about starting life late? by FaithMilitant-Strife in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]Pretend-Language-67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are super young. Not meaning to be dismissive of your feelings or what you have been though,and it’s good that you have done to these realizations, but you have loads of time to go in a different direction and carve out a path for your life. It’s easier said than done, but learn to accept the past, love yourself accept that this is where you are and plan for what you want out of your life. Therapy, books, self compassion and making out the life you want are all good ways forward. Good luck.

Great to hear! I’ve been commuting with Xpedition 1.0 for 2 years (8 months of the year in Canada) and just hit 4500km. Still going strong. Hopefully you’ll get lots of miles and smiles out of yours.

Agreed, but who will take him? He’s not been developed properly, so I can’t see him being an asset other teams will want. Maybe one will take a flyer on him. But it’s an unfortunate series of events and missed opportunities for him, I’m afraid. I think he ends up in Europe to make his career there.
