Quoted from spidey:That's exactly what I did! Looking forward to the UV kit, I guess in July.
I did the same two things along with the dice shooter. I'm rarely a modded shooter rod person, but that's too neat to skip.

Quoted from Chisox:OK so I don’t remember insulting this games mother but it has just been an absolute nasty bitch for about 2 months over here and I’m at a loss at what’s happened. I’m not Elwin or anything but at worst I’m an average player and this game has just turned into a drain monster. My average score was probably 150-200 mil the first few months I owned the game and got to TI about every 5 games or so but now I score over 100 mil maybe 1 out of 8 games. Outlanes are set to factory wide open and I haven’t touched the sling or flipper power at all. Every missed shot is a rocket to the outlanes or SDTM at 100 mph. Left sling-right sling left outlane. Right sling-left sling right outlane. Hit a target guarding the ramps square…goodnight. I’ve done all the orbit and saucer tweaks so there’s no issue there and all mechs are dialed in and the game plays great. Has anyone else run into this? Not complaining, still love the game. But if you’re slinking away to get relief by playing Stars and Rick and Morty something’s amiss
edit: damn it chuckwurt haha. I was composing this block of TLDR as you posted. I guess it’s me.
My first weekend I had this game I put up 450 million. I have tons of games where I barely get to 100 now and my scores are usually 200-ish at best. No idea how I got 450 other than I was hitting the orbit shots well. I didn’t complete any modes, but I started several.
Quoted from ThePinballFuries:Yeah that was pretty much my opinion which is why I asked. I’ll put them back and continue to have the game kick my ass.
Is your game leveled and at a reasonable slope?

Got the UV kit installed today. It's hard to find those bottom three connectors in step 24, but they are hidden in the wire nest next to where the board is mounted. I haven't played the game in a few weeks and the first game had voices replaced with really loud static. I powered the game off and then back on and it seems normal now. The kit is well worth it.

Is everyone good with "Bullshit" mode being a mystery reward? Would it have been better to have it activated by sneaking the ball behind the drop targets like Indiana Jones' "you cheat, Dr. Jones" shot? I've only played the mode once--the first weekend I got the game.
My other thought for activating it was if the machine is set to free play, have several flipper button presses activate it as just a funny, quick demo mode to show guests. Something like press left button 3 times, then right button 4 times and upon entering those presses correctly the bullshit callout is heard and a ball is auto plunged for you to goof around in a sort of mini-game.

I installed the Insider Connected kit in the coin door. Is there anything beyond basic achievements planned for this title? Does the annual fee add anything? I thought I saw something about receiving schwag from Stern somehow through this.
Did you successfully complete an order there? I keep having the order processing stall. I've tried as a guest and with an account.
Quoted from swampfire:I’m gonna put “Running Up That Hill” in “Mama Says” just to watch chuckwurt’s head explode
I'm going with "Mama Said" by The Shirelles since it's old school like this series. They're both like from teh sixtiez or somthin.

Quoted from SonOfaDiddly:"an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment."
you're competing against the game, not others and i don't think pinball meets the criteria of physical exertion that the definition refers to
also
SportAccord uses the following criteria, determining that a sport should:[1]
have an element of competition
be in no way harmful to any living creature
not rely on equipment provided by a single supplier (excluding proprietary games such as arena football)
not rely on any "luck" element specifically designed into the sport.
the random element of rubber bumpers also disqualifies pinball as a sport, as does the fact that pinball machines aren't accessible to everyone
Not everyone has access to a sheet of ice or proper gear yet ice hockey is a sport.
Quoted from SonOfaDiddly:it is called the olympic GAMES haha
but yes, i did say exactly that, word for word, earlier
i would expand on that to say that any event involving judging is not a sport, as judging is subjective and not objective
An umpire in baseball calling balls and strikes is doing so subjectively. A referee in basketball calling fouls is subjectively judging whether or not enough contact was made to impede a player's shot attempt. American football games would last eight hours if holding calls weren't subjective and being judged as to whether or not yet another flag needs to be thrown for an infraction that technically occurs on every play. A referee in a UFC/boxing match can decide to stop a fight based on whether he determines one of the combatants is no longer fit to continue.
