Beat the Saturn game Lunacy recently. Decided to poke around the CD for anything interesting. Long story short, all the videos are just files. All the files are named something like (STARTING LOCATION)+(ENDING LOCATION)+(DIRECTION)...so you can easily make silly loops with FFMPEG.

Ran into another Embyron in the wild. Interestingly, this machine is meaningfully different from the one at AGDQ! Can you spot the two obvious differences? Keep in mind that this picture was taken before plunging the next ball.

First pinball outing since MAGFest. Got a few replays on other machines, but this was solid. Finished four modes, but double drained on the second knight multiball.

Was asked during stream about the weirdest pinball machine I've played. It's definitely Orbitor 1. Unlike most (all?) pinball tables, this one's playfield is molded plastic space scape with peaks and valleys. And the bumpers are rotors. It's just weird.
