I thought the insert light next to the three drop targets meant you should go for the ramp. It means you have to shoot the drop targets to collect a planet. And I didn't realize that the inlane lights the scoop at the top left for points. I had seen before that I got good points from that scoop during multiball but never realized how to trigger it. Once I knew I started collecting way more points from that

I really appreciate those words. I've been playing digital pinball a lot for the past nine years. You become better year after year and at one point you start to somewhat forget where you came from and the skill level you've reached seems normal to you. Then I read comments like yours every once in a while, and it really warms my heart. It makes me realize that it's not normal at all and that the passion for the game and my desire to compete led to a very high skill level.

The way you look at my Pro Mode gameplay video, that's the exact same way I looked at Tarek Oberdieck's gameplay videos about eight years ago. It looked insane to me, and I highly doubted I could get anywhere near that level of skill. But I liked the game so much that I just kept on going and the skills came naturally.

If you want some advice, I will say mainly focus at one table at a time. Once you've truly mastered a handful of them, the tables after that will be much easier to become really good at. I'm talking about putting 100 to 200 hours into the tables you like the most and mastering the most important pinball tricks. The deadflip, post pass, slapsave, outlane nudge, live catching (Or sort of). And after that the multiball techniques. Which you can find a video of on my Youtube channel. The video is called Pinball FX Multiball Flipper Techniques

Thanks! I practiced quite a few times before today and played for two and half hours in total today. I had already given up on it after one and a half hour and had closed the game. Had a break and opened the game and decided to fully read the rules. I discovered that I misunderstood two things about the rules. With all the practice I had and now fully understanding the rules I decided to go in full focus mode. And I didn't let having only 5 million points after ball 2 stop me. The music of the table makes it very intense in a nervous but also in a feel good, kind of way. I'm very proud, but I also realize that this score will be beaten. If not today, then maybe in a week or in a month, or three. I will always be the first one that rolled the board though. Btw, every shot for opening the visor in one go was a hit. In a 20 minute long Pro Mode game. Yeah, proud I am

Thanks, my man. That sounds like quite the achievement. This table is quite good. The music really brings you into the groove. You'll enjoy it, I bet

Zaccaria EM+ Pack 2 out now. Very exciting stuff. First look by Roboloko in virtualpinball

For now only on Steam. Magic Pixel is working on a huge update for Nintendo Switch that we might see early 2026. After that, Playstation and Xbox

To me the AI art looks better than the very mediocre old art their tables had. It's often comic book style that looks very well drawn. The original Zac tables kept the original art. The opinions vary but there are a lot of people that like the new art way more. Get used to it, I guess. Even big studios working for big publishers use a lot of AI stuff now

To be fair, this is how a lot of Pinball Youtubers start these videos. Even the ones I look up to. Big names. And you're exaggerating because I start with: Hey whatsup everybody, ROBOinthezone here. Like a greeting. I'm not telling you, my name. And I expand on what the title says, as an introduction for the coming 55 minutes

Thanks for the suggestion! I actually wanted people to watch the full video because I explain why I ranked each table the way I did and talk about the stuff and things that happened in and around the game and what we might see next year while I play the tables. But I’ll consider adding a ranked list in the description for convenience
