The machine is kinda busted so you can't play with him. Drinking more is an option.

They got pinball? I'll play some pinball.

[–] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 29 points 2 weeks ago

Pinball is the best answer.

[–] mcbenavides85@piefed.social 7 points 2 weeks ago

I’d play pinball so hard.

As long as there's one machine that's not Sternslop

I'm not like a super enthusiast about pinball, so I had to look that up and came up empty handed. Best I can figure is there is a company that makes tables cslled Stern and I have to assume that they (or at least it is your opinion that they) suck?

[–] CrackedLinuxISO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Yeah. Stern is one of the few companies making new tables, and the stuff they produce these days is all about making an account and tracking your games with QR codes. They even have a few where there is a kind of meta-game that you play across multiple rounds. Not really my thing.

A friend of mine got a summer job working a pinball joint, so I've learned to appreciate the game a lot more recently. Helps to have an inside person giving me free plays.

Fuck that shit. Gimme some Addams Family or Doctor Who and I'm good.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

Safecracker for me. I never did crack that safe.

[–] Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Those Stern games still play if you don't make an account, though.

Source: My local Godzilla machine has consumed many of my toonies, but I refuse to make an account out of principle. Still really fun though.

OK, you have a point on Godzilla, that machine is pretty fun. I also enjoyed playing John Wick despite my prejudice.
