Ahoy Mr bond progress report: tonight I actually cleared all 6 villain modes but choked on the actual shot to start the wizard mode. Instead I hit the right orbit (the “red” shot if you will) and center drained. Progress though! #pinball

[More plural posting: on the way home after FGC locals tonight we determined what each of our fighting game archetypes would be]

[Apparently you can have a different Tomodachi Life save file per account, so I was able to start my own island for a personal playthrough while still keeping Marisa’s dumb stream island. I even made the 6 of us in there!]

My lifesmiles determines my Deathsmiles

[We’re probably still going to Pexpo this year, but haven’t decided on what capacity. If the main tournament is as much a shitshow as it was last year then we might just go for a day.]

Courier keeps doing this thing where it’ll pop on Rivals 2, play one game of ranked as Absa and then essentially force me to play some games as Slade. I’m still lukewarm on the game! It’s the one who wanted to play it in the first place!

I love dropping into, like, hour 6 of someone’s tomodachi life playthrough and seeing what sort of congregation of characters they’ve decided to make. Really says a lot about someone.

A local arcade operator called Winchester Mystery House a street level table and I’m not sure how I feel about that. It’s gotten me thinking about how pinball has very little in the way of genre, and whether such descriptors would even have a role in the medium. #pinball

Don’t need to get into specifics but we’ve got something important today and we’re anxious about it, so wish us luck

After like 3 months of stubborn incessant high blood sugars, I’ve now had 3 days entirely in range. The relief is tangible. #t1d

Twitch.tv/twak THE VTUBER DEBUT

Tomorrow. 1:00 PM CDT. Big things are happening on Twitch.tv/twak

Synchro three monsters and Blow up all your spell and traps And attack with my TRISHULA

rivals-of-aether-ii-patch-160.nolt.io/281 reposted my request on the current rivals 2 nolt board. Really, both of us are probably too used to right stick roll at this point for us to use this even if it were added, but it would still be nice.

[Godzilla was the only machine at the arcade not connecting to the account system tonight, so of course I hit terror of mechagodzilla for the first time #pinball ]

I can’t believe Kaizo Mario is canon

Yeah can I get uhhh a mission mode, with a side of 2-ball multiball, and to drink a 2x playfield multiplier

They should skip ahead to making dirty hot honey so we can get all this done with

When are they adding Sneaslest to the game

I have discovered that the key to playing Slade is to pick the stupidest possible option at any given moment.

Lovers Slade really is an incredible skin. They outdid themselves this time.

Am I hallucinating, or did they patch Godzilla to change the default saucer awards sometime in the last year? #pinball

In the new Magic story, Zimone makes girl dinner.

!> Hoppy rabbit day. I have no particular affinity for the holiday, but being a rabbit I do enjoy that aspect. <!

[Last night I finally got to the checkered flag in Bally Indy 500. I was a little disappointed to find that it wasn’t even a mode, just a flat hundred million! That’s not a whole lot in that game!]

I’m this close to busting out the red string and corkboard

I keep thinking that I’m spending too much money eating too much Wing Stop, but then I look at how expensive worse restaurant chains are and I realize I’ve been picking the better option

In a fun coincidence, today also is the start of the new arena powered cube so I’m live now doing that!

0><0 Hey it’s #tdov . We’re trans. That means you can see me now! Boo!

[Catching the 3rd pokemon on stern pokemon is so much harder than the first two.] #pinball

The main thing I want in a SimplyPlural alternative is a place where we can import and continue our Out of Context channel

Also today is both a rivals 1 tournament day, Xrd tournament day, AND it’s at the place with the only public Chunithm and SDVX cabs in the city

How the hell did Spooky get a magnet save right and not Stern? #pinball

Went to the pinball arcade tonight on a whim and turns out they were having their pokemon launch party. We ended up getting 1st seed in qualifiers by playing out of our gourd. Unfortunately we then proceeded to buster out in semis. Still great improvement. #pinball

Maybe this is cope but I wouldn’t be surprised if Dirigiblocks ends up having some sort of 4x4 grid-based entry field

How are there 3 cards with affinity for artifacts in standard

We’ll be taking a slightly extended break while we upgrade our recording and editing setup. Also while we prepare better notes for our next few episodes. Also while we get some health under control.

Gonna take a few listens to really get an opinion on the new Zutomayo, but I will say that I really wish they had the normal version of Kuzuri on there too

Hell nah ACAne brought the accordion out on the new album

Ok, 6 player game of Root isn’t the worst thing in the world, but the WORST thing is playing vagabond when the person before in turn order is playing Lord of Hundreds

had a pretty good game on Winchester #pinball

I wanted to post a clip of a funny glitch that happened to me on stream in Blue Prince yesterday. Unfortunately, it’s so late into the game that posting it would be major mondo spoilers

My favorite part of Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is when Rael just starts spinning for actually no reason

I need people to stop saying that Stern Pokémon is like Junk Yard. It’s not! That’s not even how the bash toy works on pokemon! Treating it like the wrecking ball will get you nowhere! #pinball

Jacks to Open is one of those tables where you totally can just ignore the thing it wants you to do #pinball

[Day 1 of a weekend of pinball tournaments begins today. I feel kinda bad for the others because we’ve been doing a lot of pinball the last few weeks, an I worry I’m taking up time from them :/ ]

finally got a chance to play some games on Winchester. Barrels of Fun continues to do interesting things, though I haven’t fully figured out the mechanics yet. #pinball

My wishlist for things deadlock needs: - a newsie who throws newspapers at people - an ape who can climb buildings à la King Kong - Rex form risk of rain (or at least his movement skill) - better matchmaking

!> Unfortunately today was a rough dysmorphia day for me, or at least too much for me to play fighting games. <!
