Quoted from Duvall:So, 10,000 hours of pinball?
You can learn to do something if you put enough time in, but some people will still never be 'great'. It's not ENTIRELY just time spent.
Like this guy that tried to brute force his way into being a professional golfer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_McLaughlin_(golfer)
Quoted from bgwilly31:playing a game you own in a tourney can sometimes be a nemesis.
I distinctly remember playing on Bank 7 at pinburgh in 2016 in the first round next to a group that Adam Lefkoff was in. When they were getting ready to play CSI he mentioned how he had a CSI and he liked CSI and dammit he better do well at this one (I guess the rest of the round wasn't going stellar).
He did not do well.
I know the feels.
(Note: I had to look up the specifics like bank number and round number -- but the focal point of what he said and what he did is what I remember)
