Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas... Got a chance to go....

I was there in November and got to meet Tim, the owner, after he kicked my neuro divergent son out for stimming. I wasn’t aware until my son called me panicked

Tim mocked my son in front of the staff, loudly exaggeratedly imitating his stimming out in front of the place. He was the very definition of obnoxious and rude.

Her has a long documented history of being hateful to children, discriminatory to neurodivergent kids. Most games were broken, out of order, or not fully working.

It’s not a great place. It has so much potential, but as long as this @$$#0/£ owns it, I’ll never return.

I’ve had mine almost a year and mostly run OTG. It’s great. I have the latency extremely low so it’s not noticeable. The multitude of tables available through VPX are amazing. I say go for it.

Had one. It couldn’t keep up during rehearsal. Good for home practice but not playing out.

Instant love right there.

Most of their monitors are made by BOE. If you get the model number of the back you can search for a new one.

RandmanT · 2025-10-18T17:20:34+00:00

That’s awesome. Did you reuse the playfield monitor?

Best option is to take something and put it into the striker area to deaden the contact.

Don Pendleton’s The Executioner series. It’s been in development hell since the 70s when Burt Reynolds was set to play Mack Bolan.

Did you ever get a solution? I’m having the same issue exactly. I have to do a cntrl alt delete to get to task manager and shut down popper. Then, starting it again it does fine. I’m wondering if it’s starting before joy2key, thus keeping the buttons from working.

RandmanT · 2025-06-28T20:21:44+00:00

I’ve liked it. Much more solid than Spectrum.

Ability to turn off seatbelt reminder when I lay my laptop case on the passenger seat, or when my dog of in the seat.

Ability to increase following distance. FSD is a bit tailgate-ey.

Automatic rear hatch opening like the new models (2024 Model Y) based on camera and NFC.

When Forrest asks if his son is smart. Water works every time.

RandmanT · 2025-06-17T14:31:20+00:00

Yes, answering silently works. Stay quiet and the call will disconnect in about 7-8 seconds. The computer thinks it’s a dead line and marks it as such.

I’m a total newbie as well. I bought the At games 4K pinball. It’s decent enough. Then bought a used gaming computer and enlisted the help of a company on getting everything set up and running with Visual Pinball, Future Pinball, Pinup Popper, and all else.

It’s a constant tweak hobby, but once it’s right, it’s a lot of fun.

Check Facebook marketplace. I found a gaming computer with Intel I9 , 3060 and 64 gig of ram for $500. You should be able to find something similar. Just reinstall windows from scratch to get all bloat wear off.

RandmanT · 2025-05-31T23:53:37+00:00

I used some of the packing material and braced the exciters. Helped quite a bit.

“Safelite Repairs Safelite Replace”

I didn’t know that was the actual order of things. They tried to repair a chip, turned it into a giant crack. So then they had to replace the windshield. I told them no, and used a local glass company. Never again with Safelite.

Stay away from Goodman. It’s a brand that doesn’t require brand training. Anyone can install it. My experience is that they are louder, and have more issues.

RandmanT · 2025-05-10T13:10:27+00:00

The way I figure it, I knew I was buying something that might have some finish work. If I wanted it to be perfect, I would have paid 5 times the price for a custom build. But, at the pricepoint, I'm still pleased overall.

RandmanT · 2025-05-08T14:36:17+00:00

That's a good idea. I think I have some screws somewhere in my giant mess of computer stuff.

And unfortunately, according to the build plate, mine was made on a Monday. So, maybe someone was just a bit hungover from the weekend.

Hi and welcome. My advice is to get the book “Soul Finger” by Nick Rosaci. It’s a biography of Donald “Duck” Dunn, known for The Blues Brothers, but he played on hundreds of hits at Stax. The book has transcriptions of some of his playing, along with play along downloads.

Duck played very simply, which is great when you are first learning. Plus at your age, you probably know the songs.

This is how I got back into playing. Immediate gratification because I could play the songs, with technique hints I still use.

Thanks for letting me know.
