Quoted from beelzeboob:

My curiosity stems more from a sociological viewpoint: I truly can't figure out why the hell people are so interested in the opinions of somebody that owns one game, has never restored a game, has no appreciable repair skills that he's ever shared with anybody, and has seemingly been wrong on his facts more than a weatherman. If you're listening to him purely for entertainment value, your feeding into the narcissism of somebody that wouldn't even help you if you were dying in a gutter. There's a lot more entertainment out there made by people who are great people and great assets to this community.
If I actually listened to podcasts, I'd love to hear one from LTG . A great guy who is an encyclopedia of knowledge and interesting stories from his years in the business. It'll never happen, though.

Quoted from JoeJet:

I clicked on this thread by mistake and glad I did. For all these years i thought Flynnibus' avatar was Jack Sparrow.... but seeing it blown up in this thread i see it is from Tron (duh - Flynn). The avatar looks a little different on Pinside. Weird illusion

Quoted from DS_Nadine:

Not by the listeners numbers and voting base? Poor shmuck!
I honestly wonder why they're still talking to him at all (when he recently said he'd a call with George Gomez).
Wow, I mean I'd give my testicles to meet George Gomez and Steve Ritchie!
(And yes, I have children and I don't want more, so...)

Quoted from Squizz:

I like his podcasts, I think he tells it like it is, where a lot of people beat around the bush and don't want to upset the apple cart.

Quoted from jimwe5t:

Prices started to plummet on GNR values the minute all these JJP GNR PF chipping, pooling, crinkling, cracking photos began showing up. That’s why people are taking the refunds being given by JJP instead of trying to sell them. Tragic that so many PFs have failed already, with more to come as time goes by.

Quoted from seenev:

The fact that JJP has only offered to buy back CEs and even then telling customers that they have to decide by the end of the next business day is them jerking customers around. It's a joke to them. They know that customers are reluctant to take the offer at best, and forcing them to decide immediately gets JJP off the hook while agonizing the customer. Before GnR, when JJP was still struggling to sell games like DI, Potc, and WW, their attitude was quite different. They were much more apologetic, ultimately offering solutions that didn't require customers to give up the game. But now that they have more orders than they can handle? They're all too happy to twist the knife with a win/win for them. Either the customer keeps the game without them having to do anything, or the customer sends the game back and JJP now has a CE number available for them to assign to a new build that is now worth far more than they sold out for originally. JJP will give that $12,500 back, take that CE number and put it on another game, and sell it for $20,000 or more through unofficial channels.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Quoted from pins4u:

The down votes clearly show how many "easily offended" millennial, "the world owes me a living", twerps there are on here - away you go twerps, another post for you to be 'offended by' and down vote - hahahaha

Quoted from jimwe5t:

Have to chuckle every time someone says this. JJP is a tiny company that has only put out 6 games in 12 years. Other than WOZ at $6500 they’ve struggled to sell many of anything. Spooky may soon overtake them. Lol. Surely CGC is larger. AP has already put out half as many games. With Dennis there, they could easily take over JJP. It is a mirage JJP is called number 2. Stern makes more machines in a month than JJP does every couple of years. Lol

Quoted from SmallyBells:

Getting kicked off online forums? That’s it? Anything else?

Quoted from SmallyBells:

Indeed. Am I Welcome?

Quoted from screaminr:

Unless he said something different , you only have to pay to hear his " unfiltered "opinions .
I listen but I would never pay to hear any podcast .
If you do have to pay to hear him now , he'll only have a handful of listeners and no more Twipy's .

Quoted from HighProtein:

How many hater Kaneda fans are up in here!?
You know you listen hahaha!

Quoted from djsolzs:

And just like that....[quoted image]

Quoted from HC2016:

For real record , I’ve listened to Howard Stern when he was with Imus , he was hated by the majority , but his “haters” kept him in the news
which , I believe , led to his success . Sounds very similar at that point .

Quoted from SmallyBells:

I remember when 2livecrew was banned. This ain’t that, and that was some BS.

Quoted from beelzeboob:

Well, judging by the downvote you just got, I think we can surmise one of Kaneda's fake accounts now.

Quoted from jeffgoldstein2:

I stopped listening also as the constant sales pitches to sign up are getting obnoxious. Feels like the free to play apps on the phone with the constant ads! No thanks! Other than that I’ve always enjoyed his shows.

Quoted from Rarehero:

Here’s the story he doesn’t tell, because it isn’t as fun. He didn’t think the game was flippable. He wanted out and we did each other a friendly solid. Only after he saw what they were flipping for did he turn our story into schtick for content.
Anyway, I’ve got a Rush locked in with my fav distrib. It’s all good. Win win.

Quoted from Rarehero:

Eh? I just did.

Quoted from Stuieb84:

I really enjoy the entertainment that his podcast and videos provide. I support him through patreon because of this.I also support other pinball content creators through doations and merchandise, but Kaneda is my favourite........ I get that his content can be divisive to some, but demonising the guy just for making content is rather silly.
There are plenty of other great pinball content creators if Kaneda isn't your cup of tea. TPN have great shows and streams, as well as IE Pinball, deadflip etc. There are plenty to choose from

Quoted from Oscope:

I evidently missed the historical drama with this individual - but one thing is absolutely clear - he is a POLARIZING figure and I mean absolutely polar opposite opinions out of phase 180 degrees
This is a very interesting phenomena and thoughts and emotions have constantly kept this thread lit up

Quoted from Sako-TRG:

No bad habits and I keep good company, but thanks for the advice.
Perhaps judgement has become a little clouded with ref to “tell it like it is” and your own personal perception of K…..
Cambridge Dictionary
“to describe a situation honestly without avoiding any unpleasant details”
You’ve reminded me, crime scene and investigation is on Netflix later….. thanks

Quoted from taylor34:

The irony of everyone laying into Kaneda about not listening anymore when clearly everyone has been listening, lol.
I'm not defending his actions, or what kind of person he is, clearly he's done some not so great things.
But he's the only podcast that doesn't seem to be driven by industry financial backers or friends in the industry. You just can't have honest conversation about things when money is involved when you say the wrong thing. That's the main reason his podcast exists and is successful, everyone else is walking on eggshells while he just crushes them, lol.
I will say that going behind a paywall will probably end the Twipy's for him. I do agree that he had been going on about the Kaneda club a little too much lately, but I get it, just like all the other podcasts that are driven by money he's finally trying to monetize it a little. He's just doing it from us instead of sponsors, kind of like how pinside does it from us instead of sponsors.

Quoted from blueberryjohnson:Or maybe he should start owning his choices and either:
1) stop dedicating countless hours making podcasts and facebook posts and streams and whatever else about a hobby he constantly says is so dumb and unimportant compared to being with family and friends and exercising and driving cars and eating at fancy restaurants and whatever else
or
2) keep doing all the same stuff he's doing and stop endlessly complaining about it.
The way he talks, you'd think he's been cursed by a gypsy to have to dedicate so much of his life, identity, and emotional energy to something he doesn't even particularly like all that much. As far as I know, he has not been.
It sounds draining and not fun. For his own inner peace, it would be beneficial to do an honest self check-in to figure out what he actually wants out of all of this, and then align his actions with those goals so that he doesn't constantly feel burdened and insufficiently appreciated/compensated/rewarded/whatever.
