This is the truth.

Now I’m 29 so I’m in the generation that usually wasn’t raised around pinball and arcades.
We’ve had many pinballs in the house when growing up and I believe I can count to 1 friend that was even remotely a little bit interested in it, he would play a little and that’s about it.
The rest just did not simply care about it.
And now as an adult none of my friends are interested in pinball. Just how it is.

1. Completely useless “skill”.
2. Completely useless “skill”.
3. Well that just isn’t true.
4. Not true either. Also there are a lot of the “old guys” who don’t have social competence or even understand how to behave in general public.
5. What do you mean? Most people use the computer for their everyday work.
6. Maybe life is just too boring?
7. I can’t either. My ADD stops that. Also what’s the point of relaxing when you can do something productive and learn. Lazy people relax…
8. I can’t either. I do it once every ten years maybe. I just google it. Useless “skill”.

Now let’s move on to 2022 necessary skills there are plenty the older generation cannot do such as additions and subractions in an Excel sheet even though they use it everyday for example.
I can list many things the older generation can’t do that the younger can but that’s to no use.
Knowledge comes and goes, why learn something that isn’t necessary when you can learn something new that is? It’s evolution.
If we didn’t evolve then we would still be grunting at fires and throwing rocks at each other.

Had a boss like that.
He was CEO of the company.
Also sales.
Project manager.
Software developer.
Commissioning.
All at once.
While being a farmer at full time.
And a horse breeder.

I still don’t have a single clue of how he can still puzzle all that shit together.

Pinball2000 is lots of entertainment.
Easy to play, fun to play.
I don’t understand why people dislike them so much. Yet I am grateful as I could pick up a minty-minty-MINT RFM for peanuts in todays wicked market.
Lots of game for the money and a cool piece of pinball history.
Just my two cents.

But I’m in the category where I can’t give a rats ass about the new games.
I like WPC games and prefer those above all else, for no other particular reason that those were the games to play when I was collecting 15 years ago and now when I’ve started collecting again I simply want those. They appeal to me.
New Stern etc may be far superior but they simply don’t appeal to me.
