Quoted from KingVidiot:Of course you do. I used to too, because we both grew up in the same era, as did the rest of pinside, where male is the default preferred gender.
Example: the word “guys”. Most of us say “guys” when referring to a group of people, no matter their gender, right?
But you wouldn’t say you go around fucking “guys”, would you?
“Guys” is just one small example of literally thousands of little words, expressions and phrases where the male experience is the preferred default, and women aren’t acknowledged equally. We live in a systemically sexist culture, and a whole hell of a lot of big things and little things, like “guys” needs to change before actual equality can exist.
I always find it funny when the delicate little man flowers cry “omg woke culture is ruining little mermaid and lord of the rings!”. Dog, you’re 48. Mermaids & elves ain’t real”
It reminds me of a quote “when one is accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression”
Check your own privilege before you get big mad about adult females being upgraded from “girls” to “women”.
I bet it blows your mind to consider the entire span of Romance languages use masculine and feminine articles/qualifiers. Including defaulting to the masculine any time a group includes more than one man or is simply referred to in a plural sense. Poof!
My wife confirmed just now. Asked her what the ladies in 007 movies are known as. Her answer: Bond Girls
FYI - she is not upset by this and thinks calling them bond women on the art is dumb.
FYI+ - she is also not a “white male”
Quoted from Pin_Fandango:Sooooo… black shemale then?
No judgement.
Lol. I see what you did there.
Also the downvote by someone with 666 in their username is a badge of honor for me. If that’s not telling idk what is.
Quoted from cooked71:I blame Stern for the shitshow-ness of this thread. Either Stern or the Queen.
The wait for a CCr topper is longer than this Bond announcement by a mile and that thread never devolved into feces. I blame betas.
“Shaking soon” - while clearly a martini reference, could this also be a nod to the rocket mech movement?
Quoted from Pin_Fandango:is this some sort of diverter or a secret passage to a subway?[quoted image]
Definitely looks like a hinged ramp that lifts up.
Final mode after completing the game should be a walk-off plunge of any remaining balls in true Elwin fashion.
Quoted from pinmister:How do you fix the flipsters?
Here’s an unpopular but effective idea:
End the distributor network and sell machines factory direct from Stern. Set a limit of one game per person. Open up sales online all at once and eliminate the reservation lists. The entrenched network of back scratchers and swapping of industry favors is what perpetuates this cycle and screws the little guy/newcomer.
I don’t know who needs to get kicked in the nuts more... A: The guy flipping his Bond LE for $17,500 or B: The bastard that pays his price.

Quoted from Grantman:Or play them on location for a buck a game.
Plus babysitter fees.
Quoted from gdonovan:you need a pickup point and an end point. So it would have to be on the top of a ramp like "Bond on a wand" and it has to be dropped somewhere.
Why not use the Telekinesis grab design from ST? Baby Yoda could snag the ball as it passes by.
Graphic depictions of:
*Deviant sex and old social norms = intolerable
*Violence and murder = totally fine
?
Quoted from DudeRegular:I remember when folks hopped on pinside to talk about pinball.
Then the SJWs found a new pool to pee in.
Quoted from DudeRegular:I remember when folks hopped on pinside to talk about pinball.
So does Pepperidge Farm... LOL
Quoted from Jamesays:See what happens when you try and share an opinion,
Sharing an opinion is different than cancel culture. One challenges another’s belief system while the other wants to rewrite history.
Quoted from Sheev_Palpatine:but I really didn't come here to talk about the sexual innuendo's of the pin.
Apropos, it does have a large phallic shaped rocket in it. Lol!
Quoted from manadams:[quoted image]
I laughed my ass off at this. Great use of that meme!
Quoted from flynnibus:Also, there is a subconcious difference between the 'good guy' doing something vs 'the bad guy' doing something.

He was trying to check out three pages ago

I prefer DakotaMike’s approach above. Talk it out, apologize and move on.
Quoted from Sheev_Palpatine:Well I tried to have a discussion on Gameroom Guys. I have not purchased from them before so I was curious on them? I purchased a 007 prem from them 3 weeks ago and I was wondering about the lead time?
Don’t trust it. I have ordered two games from them. API pushed back delivery a ton. CGC is it’s own thing with long lead times. Unless it says “in stock” or “availability 3-5 days” it’s anybody’s guess. Heidi from Game Room Guys is great though! Tell her Jon from Dewitt says Hi.
Quoted from Vecna:The world needs more Pussy in it!

D732E8B6-E60D-4D2A-B923-5AE2CE021FA4 (resized).jpegQuoted from Damonator:OK, I vote we drop the current tangent and move on to "Bond Girls Then and Now".
I thought it then and I still think it now...Kim Basinger for the win.
Oh man, he said “girls” not women... lol J/K
Our shower drain had a clog in it last night. My wife was grossed out by it and didn’t want to touch it. She said something to the effect of “this is why I have a man in my life”. Is she sexist? Lol. Then I fixed it, smacked her ass, and said “you’re welcome”. BTW, she’s the breadwinner in our family and I’m a stay at home dad. Figure that one out.
Quoted from wyopin:To me Craig ending the way he did, didn’t seem like an ultimatum to change the franchise or it’s direction…it just gave closure to Craig as Bond.
Except *SPOILER* he has a child. Will they go the route of following in dad’s footsteps?
Quoted from wyopin:Orrrr does that child turn into a villain to get revenge on the organization that she attributes to killing her father?
Sounds very Batman Dark Knight esque. “Miranda is Talia Al Ghul, daughter of Ra's Al Ghul” She became a villain to avenge her father’s death and finish his work.
I think it comes down to some people seeing the cultural challenges of past norms in present times and moving on with life while others feel the need to point it out to everyone else like they’re five years old and virtue signal by saying “look at me, look at the bad thing I detected. Aren’t I so woke for noticing? You should be noticing too! If you don’t call it out, it must mean you support that behavior”.
Quoted from Spiderpin:Yeah I'm "shaken and not stirred."
The phrase the kids use today is “I’m shook” as in I’m shook, not stirred. Lol
Quoted from kool1:Question I keep asking myself now is with only 4 spots do I get a GZ or a Bond. GZ is definitely fun but the Bond theme is strong with me.
I’m between those and JP added to the decision.
Quoted from TreyBo69:Buy GZ/JP now and enjoy for a year. And by next Fall this game may actually be at 1.0 code..
Solid advice.

Quoted from PinballHelp:not unlike GB...often when I lose the ball, I'm cursing at the game because I didn't think I got a fair chance.
I was swearing at my GB pro last night for this same reason.
