@remoquete They surely would have. Just think of all the suppliers around the Empire that needed to supply components to that thing.

We are coming in with a banging list of fixes on May 16 for more than 35 tables, so please finish your saved games on the tables mentioned in the link below as you won’t be able to continue them after the patch. Thank you very much! 😇

@ElmosUnderpants @PinballFX Check out the latest pinball bites. Expect more Williams tables at the end of the year, as confirmed by Mel.

[mas.to/@jaredmorgs @jaredmorgs]

@zen_studios Really great job with this Bites, team. Lots of info, but distilled down so we could grok it.

It's all @jaredmorgs fault, and he's on his last warning before getting a pay cut. 😉

@zen_studios Winning the Silver Magic Token on Safe Cracker when it was sited at Timezone Queen Street Mall in the 1990's.

One per token tube of 50.

[mas.to/@jaredmorgs @jaredmorgs]

@jennleaver Wow, they are in fine form!

[mas.to/@jaredmorgs @jaredmorgs]

And what happens when you service them and they are like factory fresh.

What really happens to flippers when your pinball game has worn flipper linkages.
Flippers connect the player to the game. Sloppy flippers = sloppy player experience #pinball #flipper https://t.co/Y7AEJzRxah

For your viewing pleasure. The lag is real but will new gold leaf buttons take care of it on Addams Family and Snoopy?

@zen_studios Without a doubt, make the insert lights tell a story. If I need to shoot for something, really call it out with conspicuous arrows or stacked light trees.
"How many shots until that ramp is complete? Oh the lights tell me one more. Awesome!"
AFM or MM are gold standard here.

[mas.to/@jaredmorgs @jaredmorgs]

@zen_studios Plunge the ball and discover how the game works.

I measure a game on how well I can understand what to do without having to read anything more than the apron card.
I look for insert light colour tropes to tell me what to do.
GREEN = Multiball or locks
AMBER = Extra ball

[mas.to/@jaredmorgs @jaredmorgs]

@zen_studios There's no need to restrict how much voice guidance you give in a game now. ROM constraints aren't a thing anymore.
So bark shot callouts at me at the right time.
Let me focus on flipping, not thinking.

[mas.to/@jaredmorgs @jaredmorgs]

@remoquete I can't remember how many times I borrowed it from the library.

[mas.to/@jaredmorgs @jaredmorgs]

A very interesting perspective on what Tech Writing could look like in 25 years time.

It's like reading the 1979 Usborne "Book of the Future", but for Tech Writing.

[mas.to/@jaredmorgs @jaredmorgs]

@XENOTILT Crisis mode is excellent fun. I like how the clarity has been improved in the game. Haven't played it for a while and everything seems sharper.

[AsciiDoc @AsciiDocLang]

#AsciiDoc Language's milestone 0.3.0 includes initial drafts of the Paragraph and Strong Span sections, marking progress with syntax decisions and updates to the ASG schema. It's the third pre-1.0.0 release, with more updates expected soon!

@reediredale Wow that's super gross. I mean, LinkedIn is super gross at the best of times, but this is a more verbose version as those 🎂 Happy birthday, Jared🎂 one button responses that followers send every year without personalising.
