Quoted from Multiballmaniac1:Loving the mono targets these days.
Lol. Who sais there’s no innovation in pinball anymore.

Just watched a few minutes of the stream. Fame looks FUN. Layout awesome. Liking the art in real life. Still trying to get past the theme, but not as off-putting as I originally thought.
Still need to dig deeper into the code but seems pretty complete for Stern?
Quoted from Yoko2una:You just posted two pictures, even when orientated to look the way you want them to, don’t look like similar layouts at all. Two ramps in somewhat relative placement (and again, you flipped one of the pics) doesn’t make layouts equal, and those you showed have countless other differences.
As I said - looks like a MIRRORED tftc. Apologies if you cant see the similarities.
Quoted from mpdpvdpin:Dude...game designers mirror their old layouts and rework them for new titles ALL THE TIME.
Quoted from Yoko2una:Don’t have to go all the way back to a mirrored TFTC to make a thinly veiled comparison.
Honestly, if I was a designer I'd take old CAD layouts, flip them, stretch them, etc etc. You'd be crazy not to. I seriously doubt any designer sits at a completely blank canvas and draws from scratch anymore. Its like using as a template.
Just stating it as a point of interest. Like seeing an evolution of an "artists" work. Just another thing to geek out over in pinball.
Quoted from kingfishtr:What’s a snowflake?
"Snowflake is a 2010s derogatory slang term for a person, implying that they have an inflated sense of uniqueness, an unwarranted sense of entitlement, or are overly-emotional, easily offended, and unable to deal with opposing opinions."
Was just being ironic by getting offended and calling you a snowflake for "insulting" me. Anyway, all these "insults" I'm throwing around are supposed to be a joke, but Pinside has the built in joke filter active today so they don't work.
Quoted from kingfishtr:Jack held it all together. Well done.
Jacks streams get slicker by the day. Given it was a zoom integration, it was pretty seamless.
Quoted from SkillShot:There are no animations on AS that look as bad as the April one. What animations on AS look bad anyway? I think they’re pretty good and I’m picky on that. For a band game, I’d say well done.
Agreed, never understood the hatred for AS animations. I think it was just a case of being the first (?) animated Stern game with the LCD. Now everyone has set their expectations accordingly but AS still retains that legacy.
Quoted from zucot:That's almost certainly a prototype game that doesn't have a screened playfield. That's how they build the games for photoshoots/streams as part of their announce activities.
Quite normal for Stern production games unfortunately - part of the great Stern QC lottery.
Quoted from Waxx:It didn’t originally until Stern changed after it was finished.
Edit: I remember people being upset about the spinner I think but the Pro was also a lot less than a Pro now.

Ah, spinnergate.....fond memories of when Pro’s were $4500 and we still complained.

There was alot of talk about moving the button on BKSOR. Did anyone actually modify their BKSOR for this? Like drill a new hole for another button, or run a wire to a simple surface mounted switch near the flipper buttons. Simple solution.

Quoted from kell:Same thing happened with GB LE, someone offered me +$2k for my pre-ordered one. Doesn't necessarily mean game is good, or not, some are just late for a NIB one. Prices tend to drop after the initial hype.
Exactly. Just means the hype is good.

We all know the only reason this game is so far along at release is Covid. Wouldnt expect it to be a permanent thing once all this cr*p is over.
Has there ever been a Stern game released with a code dev number over 1.0? How far back do we have to go?
Edit: Just saw the GOT comment above. Didint realise that - that's impressive.
Quoted from PinMonk:Mode insert bracket set is in the pinside pinmonk store now.
Turtle Power bracket was already there earlier in the week.

Thought you were schilling Pinstadiums for a second there.
They look great - such a simple fix.

Quoted from PinMonk:Not yet. I'm waiting to finalize the wire harness (I am going to increase the gauge of the wire a bit since the factory sample wiring harnesses need a little more heft, and I also may add a little length). The harness supports 2 coils, and the vast majority of kits will probably be the 2 coil one, but I've made the harness modular, so you can get a 4 coil set (if you have upper flippers) and everything snaps together.
I had to change the bracket design to raised off the playfield underside because depending on the game, sometimes there's a lot of crap like lights, etc packed close to the flipper coils. So rather than having to custom design a bracket for every other pin, I'm pretty sure now that the raised design will fit on all or the vast majority of spike pins, so that's the one I've settled on. If I find a spike machine where it won't work, I can make a custom bracket for that one pin. Should save a lot of work, and cools about the same.
The kit is:
2 x 40 x 40 fans (same as in the Spike 500W power supply quiet fan plug n play kits)
2 x Angled Fan Brackets
4 x Longer screws to mount bracket through flipper coil plate holes
4 x Mounting screw for fan into bracket
4 x Mounting nut for fan into bracket
1 x 1A Fused multi-segment modular wiring harness with two fan connectors
New style raised, angled bracket

Older, abandoned low bracket design

Nice useful mod PinMonk . Guessing these will also work on Soooky games? My TNA could definitely use them and I’m guessing R&M also.
Quoted from PinMonk:I would have to make a wiring harness specifically for Spooky games, but since they have a dedicated AUX power supply, it's an easier proposition. I don't know how Spooky manages their coil pulsing - do they have fade? I haven't played one long enough to notice it.
Yeh, they heat up and fade - at least on TNA. Particularly if you beef up the hold power which is needed for the scoop ejects. I’m guessing it’s the same for RM.
I’ll put my hand up to be a guinea pig.
