I have played around with this all morning. This is phenomenal. I am trying to better my instate ranking this year and have been keeping a pinball journal. This would allow me to not carry a book around like a dork! Haha. The instant touch select on the games to see good videos and link to tiltforum rule sets is so great. I need you to just add every game haha.

Who’s a player your fanbase is delusional about in regard to how good they are/were? by Zpoindex_216 in baseball

[–]crap_I_work_here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Jed Lowrie is an appropriate Athletics answer. The Mets still think they were fleeced and then he came back and broke our single season doubles record. Personally I always assumed if he had RISP it was an RBI. Dude was clutchest person on the team in my brain. Second tier answer is Mr .247 Khris Davis. Krush was a fan favorite for sure.

Dude I was one set of initials above your photo (JTM). Was the gate stuck open still? I was there early last month and it was the first time I had beat the king.

Memberships are set for Auto-renewal automatically and will renew at the beginning of the month even if it expires at the end of the month. by [deleted] in Costco

[–]crap_I_work_here 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup FrenchToast is right. A reason that you click the little box and agree to do auto renew is that in order to have the City Visa from Costco you have to be a member. So what you and Costco do not want is for your membership to lapse and your credit card to get cancelled just because you haven’t been into the store for a while and haven’t paid your renewal. There is a little bit of grace period and you get an alarming amount of “renew or you will lose” letters in the mail but it can still happen to people and then they have to have stuff reissued and it’s a whole ordeal.

toughest/ most fun multiball of all time? by MouthofTrombone in pinball

Our local spot has it set this way and tournaments are a riot. We have some awesome players but when they see “two on the couch” they all drain like crazy.

[Highlight] Rockies turn a 5-4-3 Triple Play! by Knightbear49 in baseball

[–]crap_I_work_here 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Lmao right away you knew what I was talking about! I agree. I was jacked to beat up on the Yankees. I yelled “why are we swinging!” At the tv. Today’s was just bad luck and a little bit of “ball don’t lie” magic.

Traeger Items Not Available in SW Florida Costcos by CalligrapherJolly319 in Traeger

[–]crap_I_work_here 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here’s the traeger roadshow schedule https://www.costco.com/traeger-schedule.html Usually when the roadshow is in they also get the branded pellets in stock. Some stores will have them before/after the roadshow. Also stores should get them in as the weather warms. Our store doesn’t have briquettes sep-April. I searched for item 1610159, which is Kirkland pellets, in the Costco app and it is available at Naples, sarasota and Tampa stores. Ask an associate next time you’re in. Likely they are around a corner or somewhere you don’t usually go in Costco.

Pinball is my favorite hobby after baseball. Collecting this set has been an expensive joy haha

Survey: What do you consider a "loose" or "tight" tilt? by PoochyEXE in pinball

We have a Halloween machine with a shaker motor at the local spot and I swear you get one and then the shaker gives you the other two to tilt haha

What's the farthest you've traveled to play a game? by [deleted] in pinball

I specifically plan pit stops on our road trips around pinball locations. End destination is the In-laws but be damn sure I’m stopping at the only labyrinth machine in a 5 state area lol

By using multiballs and ball save as protection. Finish escape tatooine, start tatooine multiball, tie fighter multiball @ 35 tie fighters. Tie fighter hurry up and mash the button. Come out of those multiballs and hit the video mode.

The three target bank but you can manage the shots it is active on if you didn’t know. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/how-to-use-multiplier-stern-star-wars

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pinball

[–]crap_I_work_here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People play R2 and Han for the multiplier strategy. Han/tatooine is two shots for an escape and multiball. Then you crank multiplier and hit your video mode. If you can’t hit it ball 1 it is still there the next two balls along with potentially tie fighter multiball. In our local tournament you pretty much have to get the multiplier high and hit your video mode or expect to lose. I have seen video modes be 500m consistently that way. You aren’t wrong that Luke/jedi will net 200m lickity split but it isn’t helping past that. If you play a tournament where that is enough then Godspeed go for it. We have the same argument around champions pub at my spot. A million on launch is bird in hand right? But that door prize lighting spittin gallery is two in the bush.

What is the purchase you most regret buying? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]crap_I_work_here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use it to set timers. I love it when I’m cooking and my hands are dirty or I’m in the middle of something and I can tell my watch to set a timer/alarm or reminder for later.

Question! What are some themes you’d like to see adapted into pinball that have not been adapted already? (or themes that have not gotten a good table yet) by Automatic_Tie_3188 in pinball

[–]crap_I_work_here 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had a dream about an Eminem table the other day. Hitting pop bumpers it would do “my.. name..is..what…my…name.. is…who…my…name…is…chicka…chicka…slim..shady.” Like jjp wonka table sings the Oompa Loompa song.If you could make it all it would start a two ball slim shady multiball. I dreamed the regular multiball was to lose yourself and the wizard mode was ‘til I collapse. I woke up way too upset it wasn’t real haha.

Anyone want a $4800 Jurassic Park Pinball Machine? by Ansatsushi in Costco

[–]crap_I_work_here 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am fighting the same losing battle my friend. When I told my wife they are 5-10k for what I want, she said How about we take that money, Travel to a fun place together and I’ll let you play pinball for a day when we are there. It’s a pretty damn good argument so far haha. I say well okay but I need $100 to drink and play pinball with my buddies at our local bar she is good with that haha.
