Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

but this imaginary console is going to have no trouble doing cod ghosts in 1080p because

i'm just saying if it can do mw3 well in 1080 (it can't) then it should probably be able to do ghosts at least in 720 (it can't do that either)

adults who liked games as children and think they still do despite being incredibly bored with them is a very lucrative market since they will keep buying new devices that they imagine they will like despite them actually being bored with the medium as a whole and need to get a new better hobby

the whole appeal of pc games is that you can play them on a machine that you already own for some reason or another. if you don't want to build your own machine then you are the very definition of someone who should really just buy a console

pinball arcade's ui is pretty brutal on a windows computer -- it probably makes a lot more sense on a tablet

and they really need to add a "random table" feature


pinball arcade: space bar for launch plunger
pinball fx2: enter key for launch plunger

and if you use the wrong key on either, you're tilting :rant:

i'm actually used to that, space to launch ball, L/R shift keys for flippers

but yeah, pinball on a pc in general is pretty brutal. i really recommend picking pinball arcade up for ipad or android or whatever and trying it there

plus i'm a lot more partial to the tables i grew up playing (like the ones in pinball arcade) than random pinball tables, so i guess i'm biased

i know, for example, ripley's believe it or not the ball is so floaty that i'm p sure it defies physics so yeah, probably a bit easier

you also have to remember that when you played in real arcades, the tables were probably hosed up beyond recognition by 6-year-olds banging on it and poo poo. i don't think i ever played a game of addams family where the magnets worked right
