    Im considering leaving the pinball hobby.

    #1452 5 years ago
    Quoted from cait001:

    HEY NOW, this is the confessional thread. The Shaming thread is every other thread on pinside.

    My apologies to Blitz on that one

    When I posted, I was intending to just ask why, not shame. Hadn't planned on judging nor meant for him to have to defend a confession.

    I probably should have just left it alone.

    Sorry Blitz

    Quoted from Ozzy:

    Now SURELY this confession shouldn't be left alone!

    Just kidding of course.

    I’m here to read about pinball. The RIPs clutter up my forum topics. No disrespect to those that have passed.

    I get wanting to come here for pinball. I do enjoy some O/T topics as well...but I will admit there are some days I want just pinball and just clicking on new forum posts sometimes can throw up a lot of non pinball clusters of threads sometimes.

    #1457 5 years ago

    I drain threads about people with money burning a hole in pocket and asking what they should buy.

    If you're from an area without many places to try them, I understand a little more. Or newer people not sure of types/themes for family/etc. Maybe.

    But still, I just don't get ones who say "hey!, I have some money, anybody want to tell me what to do with it?".

    I like pizza

    You're such a heathen!

    #1462 5 years ago
    Quoted from yzfguy:

    I like pineapple on my pizza

    Fixed it for you

    #1463 5 years ago

    After almost three months of ownership I just realized that I don’t really care for my MBr.

    #1464 5 years ago

    I doubt I will ever refurbish another EM, it would have to be special.

    #1465 5 years ago
    Quoted from phil-lee:

    I hear you there!!

    #1466 5 years ago

    I like Primus

    #1467 5 years ago

    I like the Star Wars prequels and think Jar Jar Binks is great.

    Sometimes when I’m at the buffing wheel the vibrations go to my naughty parts...and I like it...

    I've told myself that a couple dozen times.

    I miss a lot of the old EM guys Posts. Guess its run its course, time to move on.

    #1471 5 years ago

    I just spent $150 on a spare playfield for my $120 project pin......

    #1472 5 years ago

    I spend more money subscribing to pinball twitch streams a month than I do on Netflix.

    When I see the credit dot come up during a game , I have to check it.
    I’ve tried to ignore it but just can’t.

    #1474 4 years ago

    Last time I was here, I was leaving the hobby. Mble coming this week. What was I thinking!!! Back in the game

    #1475 4 years ago

    I just farted in the office and blamed it on the dog.

    #1477 4 years ago

    Once a week someone new tells me to find them a pinball machine and I put no effort into it at all. Noone wants to PAY for a pinball machine.

    #1478 4 years ago

    I'm tired of reading that everyone is complaining about a "no code update" for Ghostbusters. Yet I keep reading what everyone is complaining about. Then it bums me out when I really don't find it much of an issue for me.

    I have never taken a selfie

    It has been 7 months and 2 days since I last bought a pinball machine.

    Quoted from king-pin:

    You are forgiven, my brother.

    I went from 1999 to 2013. (That's 14 years for the calendar-challenged.)

    I HATE powder coatings over features that were originally chrome or polished steel.
    That ugly monochrome color on the lockdown bar, legs, rails, coin door, does NOT look better than original shiny chrome or polished steel.

    I 'm with ya on that...

    #1485 4 years ago

    My T2 had red eyes that would push all the out of its skull. It reminded me of my uncle’s horned up (intact) male dachshund...if you know what I mean...

    Two rubbers did the trick.

    I had to put a stop to that thought as I played the game.

    I've never watched The Matrix.

    #1487 4 years ago

    I get zero excitement when pinsiders post about NIB games in the "what game did you bring home today?" thread...

    #1488 4 years ago

    I quite enjoy 90's gottliebs.

    My basement can fit 8 games comfortably, 9 can fit decently, and 10 is the physical limit.

    I own 12 games.

    Quoted from Gornkleschnitzer:

    Sounds like you got room for a few more

    Just relax a little. You'll fit a little more.

    Quoted from pacmanretro:

    Ohh wait....sorry, this isn't a thread in the basement...

    #1493 4 years ago

    I’m rebuilding our deck myself, not just to save $10k but to rationalize buying any game(s) I want in 2020. I call this pinball penance. Also if this project kills me I hope Blitzburgh99 won’t drain my RIP thread. That would make me dead AND sad.

    #1496 4 years ago

    I will not drain swampfire’s RIP thread

    #1497 4 years ago

    Whenever I meet a new patient in the hospital and they ask me if I'm a student (I look young), I say "Yes, and I've never done this before..."

    #1498 4 years ago

    I've been in the local pinball league since it's inception over 10 years ago, and last year I didn't attend any league nights. More and more lately, a part of me just wants to sell my collection and simplify.

    #1499 4 years ago

    Munsters Pro is my favorite pin at the moment. Guilty pleasure, or a sleeper pin like Congo was?

    #1500 4 years ago

    I prefer threads started by females.
