    WAY too much butthurt around here lately.

    I mean, I always thought pinball was supposed to be an AMUSEMENT, but it seems like some of you have forgotten this and are anything but “amused” much of the time! You’re SUPPOSED to relax, hang out, get a little sauced or twist one up, have a few laughs, enjoy some friendly competition, and simply have a little respite from the bullshit of modern life in general.

    Newbies, I say don’t worry so much about it. Stop “trying too hard”, just be yourself, and understand and accept the universal truth that no one is liked by everyone! Above all, remember that a little humility and even meekness goes a long way. You don’t gain credibility by swooping in and enlightening us with some self-imagined revelatory insight or controversial opinion; everyone who has been here for any length of time has likely already heard it (and probably debated it to death), and when you do this our first impression is that you are likely an ass.

    In other words, don’t come in here throwing bombs or otherwise promulgating negativity on your first post; you are much more endearing when your introduction consists of sharing your excitement about your first game acquisition or your feeling of triumph after doing your first successful repair!
