This Week in Pinball, we’re in the home stretch before Expo, pushing out a lot of content before we head out to Schaumburg, and wondering if we’ll see any new surprises at the 13th hour next week.

As Jack Burton says, pinball is all in the reflexes ;-)

Now all we need is Kyle Smet's BTILC homebrew to be made into a commercial pinball machine (for all of us to enjoy)!

PS: Thanks to @kineticist.com for the heads up on this awesome looking homebrew! twip.kineticist.com/p/too-spicy

not sure about this one! off the top of my head when thinking about something like a widebody vs a standard body or something giant like herc, the ball just has more space to travel (so takes more time) before it interacts with something on the playfield

This Week in Pinball, we’re feeling a bit spicy in the lead-up to Pinball Expo and the end of our successful Back Indie Media drive.

Where My Pinball Money Goes

Kineticist @kineticist.com · Sep 17

that's an awesome thought, thank you! digital ocean is prob the only thing that could replace which is pretty cheap. webflow can self host but to do so would compromise a lot of the features we use. noting this just in case though.
