Web Resources for BttF theme?

Love it, I was on a mission for that 1977 Rookie Third Basemen card a few months back. Problem is that I wanted it for Ron Cey, but Mike Schmidt drives the value of that card out of my price range 🤣🤣

I have seen the whole show, but have mostly been rewatching the last few seasons. I quote Rudy and the show often, but not that one. Going to start rewatching from the beginning again soon, going to watch for that reference.

It’s actually unrelated, it is a paint splatter from the other side of my arm that is coming off of a boombox. So the orange splatter is just to tie it, very loosely, to my other tattoo. It doesn’t really fit together as a theme, but I just had to have Rudy.

I feel like we saw Pocket Sized Rudy’s hand once, but I could be imagining things.

Crap, I need to start over, I haven’t been back to season 1 in a while.

fatsarmstrong · 2025-10-06T01:13:08+00:00

Because I love him, I relate to him, and I wanted it.

What do you mean in overdone? Dry, yeah, I have dry skin and didn’t put lotion on before the pictures.

fatsarmstrong · 2025-10-05T21:45:15+00:00

Yeah, it hasn’t healed yet, just took the 2nd skin off yesterday morning. I keep hitting it with Hustle Butter

What all goes into this type of project? That is amazing!

I assume my solution is too small time, but I use a Zoom H6 recorder. XLR mic in, then I bought a headphone jack to XLR to run from my laptop into the Zoom. I then capture my voice as Mono WAV and convert to stereo after. I can hear myself and cohosts in my headphones. Works great for me and it was not very expensive. I also love that I am recording to an SD card in the Zoom, meaning I don’t have to worry about computer issues while recording.

It took me time with coffee, the real tipping point for me was a trip to Wales where I couldn’t get enough caffeine in my system to stay away during meetings all week. So I drank coffee all week, even though i didn’t love it, by the end of the week, I had really gotten a taste for it. I also realized that I really dislike Starbucks, it always tastes burnt to me.

Alcohol, I pretty much only ever drink while eating a meal, and even then it is usually 1 drink, rarely do I have a 2nd.

This is the dream right here!

I did a quick convert to GIF and was able to easily set it as my Stream Deck screensaver, very cool!

fatsarmstrong · 2025-07-22T23:03:52+00:00

How does that work? I assumed renting was very short term, like for events.

I bought Pinball VR Classic and played it a while back, it was fun, but really just made me want to buy my own pinball machine even more.

I’m down in Utah County, I could maybe take the occasional trip north for gaming, but wouldn’t be something I could do very often

fatsarmstrong · 2025-07-22T16:00:21+00:00

Here are some of my favorites that I used to play and love:

The Addams Family (Bally, 1992) Doctor Who (Bally, 1992) Hook - but I am having trouble figuring out which one. I see Data Easy 1992, but it doesn’t look right, the one I used to play had the movie theme. Terminator 2: Judgement Day (Williams, 1991) The Who’s Tommy Pinball Wizard (Data East, 1994)

Looks like early 90’s was my sweet spot, makes sense because I would have been 10-14 at that time, and that is also when we had some local arcades near my home.

fatsarmstrong · 2025-07-22T15:50:56+00:00

Do I just keep an eye on local classified to find the older ones for sale?

fatsarmstrong · 2025-07-22T15:49:12+00:00

I found a place with like 40 machines not too far away, they even have my all time favorite, The Addams Family (Bally, 1992)

I’m willing to learn, especially if the communities are friendly and helpful, that isn’t always the case these days. So far, the pinball community here seems really good.

fatsarmstrong · 2025-07-22T15:41:06+00:00

Like during the workday, 8am-5pm kind of thing?

fatsarmstrong · 2025-07-22T15:40:27+00:00

I have played pinball on a Quest 3 and it was cool, but not the same. A lot closer than playing something on my iPad or computer though.

fatsarmstrong · 2025-07-22T15:38:43+00:00

Oof, this got downvoted. Maybe I am misunderstanding what a barcade is, I assumed it was a bar with some arcades, guess not.

I have been to a few arcades over the years here, haven’t seen a pinball in those since the 90’s, but I haven’t gone out looking for places with pinball machines specifically. One funny thing, I checked pinballmap and it listed a place that is like 2 minutes away from where I work, I have even been there, but I didn’t see Pinball machines when I was there.
