Wow, there is a lot of aggression in here. Personally, I don’t care to listen to pinball podcasts, but it would be a huge waste of my time to try and discourage someone else’s idea. I don’t gain a damn thing from doing that and neither does the morale of the hobby. In my life experience, naysayers are usually made up of people that are caught up in their own self doubt and can’t bear the thought of someone else possibly being successful at something. It might succeed and it might also fail, but pinball will live on and it will not impact my life either way, so why should I wish for them to fail?
With that being said, I am a visual person and I prefer to WATCH pinball when I am not playing. Gimme some Buffalo Pinball streams and I am happy. Just good people that share the love of the game!
