8 hours of #pinball on Black Friday seems like a solid plan 😁

This is definitely my preferred small business to support 😀

Labyrinth is going to be back in theaters Jan 8-11th for its 40th anniversary.

My first reaction to hearing that was "there's no way that movie is 40 years old."

Then i remembered how old I am and... Yeah, it really is 😂😂😂

Have followed up an absolute horror show of a #pinball tournament two weeks ago where I finished 29th/29 with back to back middle of the road finishes (17th/34 and 19th/29).

Honestly, even the tourney I got wrecked at was still fun. Even a bad day of playing pinball is still pretty good 😁

Sometimes the answer is "go play #pinball"

The question is unimportant.

Best #pinball tourney finish yet tonight 😀

6th out of 22.

I'll take that

Played a #pinball tourney on Monday, and it looks like my schedule is going to allow for another one on Friday.

Hopefully i get less wrecked Friday than i did Monday 😂😂

It's way too hot in Portland, so go where there's air conditioning right? 😁

I've started doing #pinball tournaments as of about a month ago.

I'm currently just good enough to realize how bad I am 😂😂😂

#pinball on a Saturday?

Don't mind if i do 😁

Soccer game for cancelled today due to heat.

Ground Kontrol has a pinball tournament tonight.

I've never done one before - this might be fun 🤷‍♂️

We'll see how i feel in a few hours.

Debating driving across town to try out Wedgehead tonight.

By which of course i mean "I'm pretty likely to drive an hour across town and deal with the crappy parking because I've heard so many good things about the venue." 😂

It's Sunday so that means it's time for #pinball right?

(It's a trick question - it's always time for pinball 😁)

I'm injured so I can't play soccer tonight, so #pinball it is 😁
June 27, 2025 at 12:25 AM
Gonna play #pinball and ignore the horrors of the outside world for a few hours.

Seems like a good thing for my sanity.

Finally rolled credits on #ClairObscur

I'm so very glad nothing in this game was randomly spoiled for me - the journey it takes you on is fantastic. Heart wrenching, but fantastic.

Gets a 9/10 from me. i have some minor gripes, but they're all just that - minor. It's worth your time and money.

I've finally gotten to Act 3 in Clair Obscur.

First off: the emotional damage is real.

Second: I think it's incredible that the game has been out for 2 months and I haven't been randomly spoiled on any of the story beats.

Now to get through Act 3 and see how much more my heart gets ripped out.

Pinball on back to back days?

This sounds like a smashing idea 😁

A bad day of #pinball is still better than a good day of most other things 😁

Any day you can play #pinball is a good day

Did this the other day.

It's the first time I've gotten to put my initials into a machine in a very long time 😀

#TheLastofUs season 2 finale: that was a lot of gut punches.

Having never played the games, I don't have any opinion what they may or may not be changing.

But I think they're doing a pretty great job and now I'm really mad it's a while before we get session 3.
May 26, 2025 at 6:01 AM
Pinball two days in a row?

Yes. Yes i will 😁

May your shots be true, your bumpers be friendly, and your outlanes be empty 😁

Well, #ManUtd fell short in the Europa final.

Honestly, we didn't deserve to be there anyway. I'm not even mad or disappointed - just kinda... Resigned? 🤷‍♂️

Well. Onto next year.

Yes, i know there's one more EPL game to go but it doesn't really matter so...
