I’m getting a pinball machine some day but I’m worried even buying a brand new one if it’ll be difficult to maintain.
If you know how to follow a wiring diagram and have at least basic soldering skills it's pretty easy to maintain. I don't know how much the modern Sterns have improved, but in my experience most issues come down to blown fuses or connectors/solder joints vibrating loose.

Some confused finger-pointing on r/BBBY, with hype posters being accused of being shills. If you are convinced BBBY is dead you're a shill. If you're convinced BBBY is going to MOASS you're a shill. Only a state of complete limbo is safe from shilldom.

A lot of users tired of waiting and wishing "it would end, one way or the other".

What is the new date they are all latching onto? I seem to remember seeing something about 10/20. Not sure why.

They appear to have moved onto just making GBS threads themselves whenever they see any reference to a butterfly in any context. I took a peep (get it?!?!??) and saw someone who said they were dying of an illness but were diligently spending their last few days monitoring their canceled stock in a dead towel store so the rest of the apes can get rich :smith:

I love that logic,

"Look how much the butterfly stands out, its hard to look at, its searing in to my eyes, it must mean something, why else would they do that?"

"Dude, its a frame of a video."

Apes love coming up with outlandish lies and fairytales that, if true, would demonstrate incredible devotion to the cause. Hopefully that’s one of them.

It is the year 2050. The Reddit userbase has dwindled to under a hundred users and its corpse has traded hands several times. It's currently owned by a deadbeat abuser who spends all his money on gourmet cookies. A haggard Reddit user opens up r/theppshow and types "What up shill sub!? Y'all still with us?? Ready for fireworks!? LFG!". Hitting the submit button, he smugly admires his work. The shills are in shambles.

Welcome to the thread! You might enjoy reading the first few posts to get up to speed on why people are clinging to the belief that a non-existent stock is going to rise from the ashes, destroy the global economy, and allow some skeezy assholes to purchase spouse upgrades.

e: I wrote that jokingly, but if you are actually new to the thread, there's a ton of great stuff in the OP. And whether that was a genuine question, a "what the actual gently caress" question, or both, here's a real reply: "I know, right?"

My grandfather actually bought shares for me and my sister in the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus, just before the deal was finalized for them to be acquired by (I think) Mattel. But he did that because he liked the artwork:



I had that damned stock cert hanging in my bedroom for years. Seeing it conjures some memories.
