Quoted from wrb1977:Expose what? Deeproot didn’t take any preorder money and actually did quite the opposite...they returned people the money they lost through Zidware!
Anxiously awaiting the 5 Days of Deeproot!
Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:How did you determine the make up of the fund?
I did not. I have zero inside knowledge as to who specifically has invested in the private equity funds.
I will go ahead and remove that, because it could be read as such, and then it will be repeated on a podcast as "BREAKING NEWS".
I was flippantly referring to one sort of investor (pension / retirement plans) that has been known to invest in private equity.
It could be all Bill Gate's money as far as I know.

Quoted from mrgone:ben heck is on the latest K podcast.
even if you are not a fan of K. you really should listen as Ben Heck lays it out. he is professional and respectful but speaks the simple truth on jpop, Robert, and deeproot.
its really worth a listen.
Is the opening bumper music "Kitten Jail"?
Because I'm not listening if it isn't...
Quoted from benheck:I was just thinking about this as I ran some errands. One of my "lockdown boredom projects" was putting an Android Auto double din touchscreen stereo in my 2006 station wagon. Before I could run my finger across six buttons, feeling them, and change stations. Now I actually have to look at it.
This makes complete sense.
Pinball is high paced action where you lose if you take your eyes off the playfield for too long or your hands off the flipper buttons.
Smashing the middle lockbar button works because it's in your peripheral view and it's a raised physical button. Likewise with the start button, I don't have to hunt or read through a list of touch screen button images to immediately start a new game.
The only benefit of multiple custom virtual buttons in a touchscreen seem to be for minigames which most people don't seem to care for and for a owner/operator menu, which would probably be better implemented as a phone app connectable though Bluetooth or web.
The touchbar is a solution in search of a problem.
Quoted from DS_Nadine:Your thinking/ scope is too narrow.
Yes your argument is correct, whereas I like the idea to be able to put an additional Magna Save etc. Button that you can activate with your thumb.
But you're thinking pinball as it is NOW.
If Deeproot really releases a pinball with "Choose your own adventure" style RPG elements spanning multiple games (wich would be a good idea to mature games out from the arcade to home use) you can manage your inventory, visit shops or other things to interact with your game.
You're allowed to hate that idea of course.
In addition, altough the touchbar may be overkill, that Stern still uses the Dot Matrix GUI from Baywatch for the systems menu is lackluster beyond belief.
Are buyers clamoring for Skryim the Pinball game?
Building RPG elements into a pinball game is interesting especially for the home buyer who pays nearly $10,000 for one single theme/game. It does seem to add value, in the sense that you could continue from a "saved game" instead of starting a new game everytime you powered it on.
At $100 million, Skyrim was pretty expensive to develop. Maybe Zork the Pinball Adventure is more attainable?
What I personally like about pinball is the speed and flow of the game. I don't see myself being that excited about waiting through long cut-scenes, or wading through endless rows of buttons/options, or my biggest pet peeve in video games... the boss battles where you have to press a sequence of buttons on the controller while it's flashing on the screen (quick time).
To each her own though...
Maybe Guitar Hero the Pinbar game would do as well as Guitar Hero the plastic instrument game?
Everyone is carrying around a Pinbar(tm) in their pants pocket. What reason is there to bolt one into the BOM of each game other than "oooh flashing lights"?
Ooooh, how about a pinball machine with a built-in Rockwell hardness tester that can connect to the internet and automatically open a support ticket on the manufacturer's website when it's time to request a new playfield?
Who's going to build the first adult themed pinball machine?
Deeproot always reminds me of Deepthroat.

Quoted from benheck:"Tap the PinBar(tm) to spend your DeepBucks(tm) on this Magical Rubber Duck(tm) in the Retro Atomic Doesn't Contain Any Zombies John Just Wanted to Make a Carnival Game Because He's Obsessed With Python Angelo Who Ironically Hates His Guts Adventureland!"
What is the ratio of Heck Nickels to Deep Bucks?
