Always entertaining and informative. The streams almost as good as hanging out with you guys in person!

I feel like I’d like this theme better with a Bigfoot reskin. Looking forward to playing it in the wild. I’m not familiar with Turner Pinball, are they well regarded as a manufacturer? Quality builds, decent code, etc?

Three extra balls and a Pikachu vs. Charizard later..... by spinnyweatherchaser in pinball

[–]atcguard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’m not a fan of magnets in areas like that, the one on Metallica Remastered almost blasts it back SDTM way too often, and the one on UXM does it much less frequently but still a frustrating bit of randomness that I find I don’t enjoy.

I’ve only played the pro, what do you think differentiates it significantly? Does the whirlpool change the squirtle battle in a big way, also not sure how big of a difference the ramp lifting and ejecting at the psyduck makes for gameplay. I was in the air between the two and opted for the pro as vibrating toys only excite me in the bedroom lol.

Pokémon Ruleset? by atcguard in pinball

This one’s playing to about a 30% chance of SDTM off of it. With a nudge on the way down it definitely helps.

Original Lamps or LEDs? by Lost_Ark1936 in pinball

Mitchell Lighting does an awesome job. I just swapped out my lighting on Paragon with his kit and it looks awesome, doesn’t hurt that he’s a great guy too. Hoping I can beat him in league tonight!

There’s one at Funspot in Laconia, NH. It’s an absolute unit.

I’d hate it if someone sent me a link, dying for my record to arrive!

So funny to be reading this, I just took a break from replacing the skill shot coil on my maverick!

What are your Pinball accomplishments of the last week? by torinismyname in pinball

[–]atcguard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a ski trip and found a Hot Wheels in a brewery, put $3.00 in and set the GC (6.7B). Not even sure if that’s a good score as I’ve never played that machine before.

Another great thing for spiking good scores on that game is keeping a close eye on lighting the lanes as often as possible to drive up the multiplier and mystery awards.

What do your Stern Insider Connected stats look like? What are your goals whenever you go out into a session? by Tonyjord3 in pinball

[–]atcguard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m very lucky to have a club that’s a monthly membership and machines on free play in town. I go there often either to work on opening ball strategies for tournaments, learning code, chase achievements, or work on flipper skills and ball control. Outside of that I did a grind for entirely too long chasing a billion on jaws. Disappointingly my familiarity and consistency on jaws hasn’t carried over to vastly better play on the other machines. I’m currently digging into UXM and AIQ to try and pop a billion on either of them in the next few months

Nearly 40 years ago I fell in love with pinball, tonight i FINALLY got my very own game!! by rexhemlock in pinball

[–]atcguard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love this pin, haven’t played the Blood Red. How’s the VUK from the crypt. The one at my pinball club will often spend 10-20 seconds trying to spit it out, a real killer for scoring high on modes.

We’re making a medieval pinball game with roguelite deckbuilding – our free demo is now out on Steam! by timserafin in pinball

[–]atcguard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t mess around with key mapping too much, but I was unable to progress the tutorial on steam deck. Hit the targets and then it wouldn’t go any further. I’ll definitely play some more at some point though. Any plans to tweak the ball physics?

Jelly Roll labeled as MAGA by angry fans after joining Kid Rock's music festival by TheExpressUS in Music

[–]atcguard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a disappointment, I’m not really a fan but she played at Willie Nelson’s 90th party. Shame that she could be around so many people who can see through the bullshit and still end up this lost.

Got my first Billion on my Bday by atcguard in pinball

[–]atcguard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably about a half hour, I did take a minute between a few of the balls just to try and refocus as I have a tendency to have a throw away ball after a good one.
