Pinball Community

"I really think that the majority of people who are just losing their shit over it were never even in on it. And so here's the good news. If you want to tell Stern that you think Spider-Man Vault Edition is too much money, just don't buy it."

Most people complaining about Spider-Man VE pricing were never going to buy it anyway

"spooky gets the pass they get a pass and they get looked at much differently than everybody else... we admire what Charlie's done so he reveals rob zombie... it's flipped between spooky and stern they they they both reveal and get totally different responses the typical response for stern is bitch bitch bitch bitch moan moan moan moan moan oh my god this is a greatest game ever"

Spooky gets unfair passes from the community compared to Stern due to admiration for Charlie

"What I can say is that people who are saying stuff like hey I'll happily go pick up a ghost buses or Congo. That's also disgusting. People should not be talking about the rise and value or decrease in value of this man's machines."

People discussing buying Trudeau games cheaply or their value changes is disgusting

"everyone should learn from this experience everyone should be nicer to everybody else like seriously let's make this be the moment where we all turn a corner and we all come together collectively... stop fighting each other stop arguing on pinside stop having short fuses"

Community should come together and stop fighting over pinball

"Do they not invite Axe Rose to the pinball hall of fame because he's a jerk? Does Howard Stern not win awards because he's a shock jog?"

Comparing himself to controversial but respected figures like Axl Rose and Howard Stern

"this is a happy year like there's a lot to look forward to and we got to just cut that negative shit out"

"we're all babies... If you think it's just Kaneda who is the biggest baby of them all, guys, we all are babies"

Everyone in pinball community acts like babies, including himself

"I think it's absolutely disgusting to even remotely joke about a subject matter like this. I really see people contemplating that and I think it's disgusting. I think those of you out there who do post jokes, I think those of you out there on pinball who have a tendency to make light of serious matters, people who post racist photos on there. I think those people are disgusting and I think they should be ashamed of themselves."

Community members making jokes about child pornography charges are disgusting

Pinball community takes rumors and speculation too seriously

"Everyone's got a fucking opinion before they even try anything"

People should try things before criticizing them instead of having knee-jerk reactions

"There's nothing wrong if you bought a game and you hold on to it. And all of a sudden you see the price skyrocket that you want to sell it and you want to make $3,000, $2,700 on your investment. Good. Everyone is like, damn, I should have gone on an AMH. But don't do what you're doing"

There's nothing wrong with flipping pinball machines for profit - just be honest about it

"Can we all for once? Just finally agree that playfields dimple. This is not like some new phenomenon. This is not Stern Pinball now has cheap playfields and that's why they're dimpling. playfields will dimple."

Playfield dimpling complaints are overblown - dimples are inevitable physics

"I've felt that people are wrongly saying that this game is not going to be amazing anymore. I think it's way too early to say the game's over because they're losing the damn spinning disc"
