I still take HUGE umbrage at someone using a well-trodden, decades old bit of pinball enthusiast kit in order to make a bad and wrong argument about Tech Makes Everyfing Worse. >w>π’
Nobody's about to throw out a Flash Gordon or a Twilight Zone in favour of one of these.
I really fuckin revile how viral this snarky, sloppy sarcasm has gotten
There are legitimate, prescient and valid critiques to make of technology nowadays, and Virtual Pinball is not one of them
and Jason here is Plain Wrong, i'm not going to sugarcoat it. we've been building these things since 2000
People have been making virtual pinball machines since the 2000s, this isn't any example of Future Bad Technoloy Bad especially given that there are at least a dozen independent companies making Real, Physical pinball tables even now
This is just the continuance of the simulator bleeding edge :v
I dunno, they are objectively "wooden boxes full of high-velocity ball bearings and a Lot of plastic meant to be hit", I can't imagine repair is all that cheap! XD

18.11.2025 15:10 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I can't overstate it enough, Pinball Is Not Becoming Worse Because Future - Pinball was on the bleeding edge of its' own simulation for decades, and it's a really cool and good thing that isn't going to usurp and swallow up regular pinball, PLEASE don't fuel people's urge to give up like this.

There's a whole cottage industry spanning as far as the early 2000s!

So uhhh.. we're still going
Fuck it, what if I just said 24 hour stream? Yeah sure why not :)
π - Augh fuc, late post cos I wasn't in the body lmao
It's Tuesday, and we finished RAD, so it's time for a new game; We're finally getting our trans woman license verified and finally playing Fallout New Vegas!! uhhhh yeag :)
Starting at 10pm GMT, 2 hours from now!
π - Now that stream is over it's time to do that e-begging I mentioned
Our mouse is basically dead, so we had to buy a replacement, which means our HRT funds are pretty much back to zero, so if you're able to, please consider throwing us some treats to get us back on track to FINALLY starting HRT
Some quick context in case anyone is wondering: We live in the UK, and are going with DIY because the trans healthcare here is ass
We've done our research and know what we're going with and being safe, we've known what we needed to for a loong while, just never had the funds to actually do it lol
Also if this goes well, we'll obviously need to eventually start another goal for another year lol, but that can wait until we sort out the first
Finally being able to start HRT will be so huge for us, so I hope anyone who's able to can help a collection of Foxes and various creatures out ππ¦
π - Finally decided to put our foot down and start this goal, because our brain isn't very nice to us and this would MASSIVELY help, so please PLEASE please, if you're able to help out, or even just share around for others, we'll very greatly appreciate it πππ

Scientists at Duke University's Human Vaccine Institute have made a significant advance in the quest for an HIV vaccine, successfully developing a vaccine candidate that could help the immune system produce antibodies (bnAbs) needed to fight the virus.
