While I'm on the topic of gaming:

Hands (or whatever) up if you feel like your gaming instincts and reflexes have dulled over the years despite playing videogames as much as ever.

@Austin_Dern Now I want to go back and play some of my favourite video pinball games. _Devil's Crush_ on the TurboGrafx, _Pokémon Pinball_ on the Gameboy Advance, and _Rollerball_ on the NES.

I used to be amazing at that last one. I really wish I'd gotten photo evidence of my high scores, because I'm pretty sure I've beat the current world record at least once but I have no way to prove it.

@Austin_Dern I've spent many hours in Pinball FX2. And now, FX3, but I haven't binged on that in a while.

I aways wanted to play more pinball, but I couldn't stomach the constant feeling of having to pour money in just to keep sucking. Paying in advance for unlimited free play means it doesn't matter how terrible I am – I can improve at my own glacial pace!

@ElectricKeet @Austin_Dern We should get an expedition together and do the Pinball Museum sometime. ^_^
