Starting to love Aphex Twin, this EP goes hard

[tamara-kama]

One of the coolest things IMHO that I've seen recently is this 1930's themed section of a recent pinball expo!

They have nothing but 30's pinball machines, a bar and 30's music playing. They also have attendants dressed in 30's period costume and old fashioned furniture.

It's interesting to me how many of those machines had minimal or no backboxes!

BTW I think it should go without saying that machines in general should be treated with respect. Even commercial machines are not invincible and have lots of parts that could break when abused. Unfortunately, one can't always depend on the operators to maintain their machines or even care or have time to make sure they are and don't rip people off.

I'm gonna digress here a bit but...

A lot of people don't even know how they are supposed to normally function or are good enough to know when they aren't functioning.. and I'm speaking in general for electronic games. But especially games with learning curves..

Like a lot of people play fighting games casually wouldn't know because they just bash buttons with no particular technique and don't bother or don't have the desire to really learn how to play the game.

So if certain controller functions don't work they may not even notice. I've encountered machines that were unplayable if one really wanted to play and it was probably because of this.

A related problem can probably happen with pinball if mainly casual players who don't bother to learn the rules or guidelines of a particular table play at it.

So they wouldn't report it and the table would stay out of order for a long time.

So yeah, take care of machines and don't abuse them even if they aren't your own!!

[disco-elysium-via-polls]

The bad news is that we failed to get into the book club. The good news is that means we can go pick up where we left off at the Whirling.

I mistakenly enter Cindy's room instead of the apartment block.

A hundred tiny feet scurrying beneath the grate. The rats of the city.

VISUAL CALCULUS - Ruination has come. The broken arches betray the once grand history of this building. It towered over the harbour, until *it* happened.

Form a guess about what happened.

[Discard thought.]

VISUAL CALCULUS - A great force from the northeast fired into the city. Heavy artillery shelled the coastline, fired from the water -- a straight shot into Revachol.

The tenement acted as a defensive wall against the worst of the shelling. Until it was destroyed, and they had a direct firing line.

Take in the ocean.

Look at the ruins in the water.

Time to go. [Finish thought.]

VISUAL CALCULUS - The waves of the Martinaise inlet roll over the fallen remains of the building. The dark waters obscure the better part of the remains.

LOGIC [Medium: Success] - What didn't fall into the ocean was used as scrap; what wasn't used as scrap was thrown into the ocean.

2. Look at the ruins in the water.

VISUAL CALCULUS - Those arches acted as support for something greater than what you see now.

Only three storeys stand where nine to twelve once did. Restoration has failed. What the shelling took out was never re-built.

SHIVERS [Medium: Success] - Underwater, iron helmets have sunk deep into the sand and the mud. Helmets of soldiers. And their fingerbones, too. And clavicles. Littering the ocean floor...

3. Who did this? This damage?

VISUAL CALCULUS - A fleet -- the combined armies of Occident and Graad, with Mesque volunteers. A five-nation army. Hundreds of vessels.

They massed airships further down, in the bay of Revachol. The artillery was so powerful, the ships not only required gyroscopic stabilization -- they were anchored into the ocean floor as well.

Many are still there to this day. If you squint, you can just barely see the shadow on the water, far in the northeast. Cannons still ready to placate Revachol.

+5 XP

4. "Hey Kim. Do you know who *shelled* our city?"

KIM KITSURAGI - "The Coalition," says the lieutenant. "But that was a long time ago. I think we should move on. It's chilly up here."

EMPATHY [Easy: Success] - He does not like talking politics of this kind.

HALF LIGHT [Medium: Success] - He fears the discussion might lead to disagreements. As it often does.

5. Time to go. [Finish thought.]

🎵 Whirling-in-Rags, 12 PM

Smoker's still here.

SMOKER ON THE BALCONY - "Hi again, gendarme."

4. [Composure - Legendary 14] What is it about the way he carries himself?

+1 He's so different.

COMPOSURE [Legendary: Failure] - It's the sports, he's a sports guy, all about that physical prowess and athletic skill... Nothing else here.

Ok, back to pinball, then.

3. "Let's take a closer look." (Pull out the machine.)

KIM KITSURAGI - "Oh, great." The lieutenant sighs.

CORNELIUS GURDI AND THE MOUNTAIN GOATS - 'CORNELIUS GURDI AND THE MOUNTAIN GOATS' reads the golden lettering on top of the backbox. There's a small column of text underneath it. The machine is coin-operated.

INTERFACING - Get the game on, finger-boy! Those flippers are *ready*.

Lean closer to read the text.

Inspect the playing field.

Insert coin.

"Pinball isn't for me." [Leave.]

CORNELIUS GURDI AND THE MOUNTAIN GOATS - Above the painting of a moustached man climbing a hill, a column reads: 'Inspired by the legend of Cornelius Gurdi taking on the world's tallest peak, Corpus Mundi. The Mesque legends holds that when the nation is in danger, heroic Gurdi shall return and save his people.

2. Inspect the playing field.

CORNELIUS GURDI AND THE MOUNTAIN GOATS - The theme of the game is to explore Gurdi’s climb through the perspective of goats, and to ascend to the top of the mountain in a time of trouble.

The peak of the mountain is at the top of the playfield. All the balls have small goat icons on them, and represent the goats as they race up and down the mountain.

Areas around the playfield represent Gurdi’s climb: Places he was said to have camped, which the goats can discover. Get them to the summit!

3. What's with all the goats?

INTERFACING - Indeed. Think of them as balls.

4. And Gurdi?

INTERFACING - A mountaineer? A Mesque nationalist? A goat herd? Play the damn game already.

5. Insert coin.

CORNELIUS GURDI AND THE MOUNTAIN GOATS - It takes a while to get into a rhythm, but pretty soon you're able to keep three goat-faced balls in play with with relative ease.

INTERFACING - Go-go, finger-boy!

KIM KITSURAGI - "I feel sorry for the goats. If they only knew the kind of guy old Cornelius really was..."

"Wait, what 'kind of guy' was he then?"

"I'm pretty good at this." (Continue playing.)

"Enough with the fun." [Leave.]

KIM KITSURAGI - "The kind of a guy who uses the word 'savages' a lot when recounting his travels. A Mesque nationalist."

"A racist mountaineer?"

KIM KITSURAGI - "An avid huntsman too," the lieutenant adds. "He was often photographed in his dining hall, surrounded by wall-mounted hunting trophies from every continent."

"That is *not* cool."

"Technically the human beings *are* at the top of the food-chain, so…"

KIM KITSURAGI - "He also hit his wife. And kids. Other people's kids too. Sometimes pets. Hateful little man."

"But you seem to be having fun?" He nods at the machine.

"I'm pretty good at this." (Continue playing.)

CORNELIUS GURDI AND THE MOUNTAIN GOATS - Your game is definitely improving. The jolly goats are flying all over the board and although a few plummet to their deaths you're never left with less than three.

Suddenly a special passage, leading to the summit, slides open at the top of the board. This is where the balls need to go.

Concentrate and aim for the narrow passage.

CORNELIUS GURDI AND THE MOUNTAIN GOATS - Maneuvering a goat-ball into a position for a perfect hit isn't easy. More fall to their deaths, but finally the opportunity presents itself. One of them gets through.

PERCEPTION [Medium: Success] - Tiny hammer shatters something inside the machine. Something glass.

LOGIC [Challenging: Success] - An ampoule?

INLAND EMPIRE [Challenging: Success] - The last one.

CORNELIUS GURDI AND THE MOUNTAIN GOATS - The words 'PALE RUPTURE' light up on the speaker panel and the machine starts filling with a thick milky fog... something's happening.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Congratulations." The lieutentant nods. "This is where the game ends. It's a cheap way of getting more money out of the players. A stupid, nihilistic finale."

CORNELIUS GURDI AND THE MOUNTAIN GOATS - There's so much fog you can barely see anything. Some is actually leaking out of the machine and one by one your goats start slipping, disappearing into the milky nothingness.

INLAND EMPIRE [Challenging: Success] - Lucky goats. The fog looks soft and inviting.

VISUAL CALCULUS [Trivial: Success] - This *can* be navigated. The balls leave an almost imperceptible 'disruptions' in the fog. Use them to calculate where they hit next.

VOLITION [Challenging: Success] - The amount of focus it takes to predict when a ball-goat is in striking range is staggering, but it *can* be done. Focus!

CORNELIUS GURDI AND THE MOUNTAIN GOATS - You're down to your last goat, going mostly by sound -- eyes are useless at this point -- but that goat is something special. Five times you snatch him back from the jaws of death.

"Kim, it can be done -- just watch!"

[Reaction Speed - Legendary 14] Stay on the ball.

"Why do they even make these if it's impossible to win?!" [Give up, winning is too stressful.]

KIM KITSURAGI - "I am. I've seen it before. Played it too. You will eventually make a mistake -- and then it's all over."

[Reaction Speed - Legendary 14] Stay on the ball.

-1 Bad at ballgames.

No good, even with me changing into the beanie.

REACTION SPEED [Legendary: Failure] - How, if you can't even see it?

CORNELIUS GURDI AND THE MOUNTAIN GOATS - The last goat plummets into the fog with almost suicidal glee.

INLAND EMPIRE [Medium: Success] - It killed himself to *spite* you.

INTERFACING - There goes nothing, finger-boy.

CORNELIUS GURDI AND THE MOUNTAIN GOATS - The machine is dead and silent. It needs serious maintenance before anyone can play again.

ELEVATOR - This small elevator is dimly lit by a bulb that's been glowing for ages. The latticed cage is open, inviting you to step inside.

Look in.

[Leave.]

ELEVATOR - Smells of nougat and sweat. Your head brushes up against the ceiling. There is a control panel to your right -- and just enough room for two people to fit in.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Medium: Success] - The maintenance card under the control panel reads: 'Last Maintenance: 10 July '88'.

Look at the elevator controls.

"It says the last maintenance was in '88."

"I wonder what this elevator was used for."

(Close the doors and go up.)

[Leave.]

ELEVATOR - There are large rectangular buttons: 'Monter', 'Descendre', and an international: 'Call for Emergency Assistance'. That third one appears to be broken.

ENCYCLOPEDIA [Medium: Success] - A small steel plaque reads 'Halter 800'. Halter is a Königsteiner lift company who went out of business a long, long time ago.

2. "It says the last maintenance was in '88."

KIM KITSURAGI - "That it does." The lieutenant peeks in. "I say -- let's brave it."

"This elevator was last maintained in the *future*?"

"Eighty-eight... This elevator was maintained a long time ago."

KIM KITSURAGI - "No, it was maintained in '88 of the *previous* century."

"So it's *not* a message from the future?"

"That's disappointing."

"That means it's not really that safe, is it."

KIM KITSURAGI - "Look on the bright side: if it fails, we will only sustain minor injuries. I'm talking three, maybe four months in the hospital. Maximum five."

RHETORIC [Medium: Success]- It appears his whole enthusiasm is sarcastic.

3. "I wonder what this elevator was used for."

KIM KITSURAGI - "Seems like a small freight elevator for transporting machinery. For that -- it's pretty quaint." He taps the on the guttering light bulb -- it's golden in the dark.

4. (Close the doors and go up.)

ELEVATOR - The elevator screeches and rattles, like the belly of some ancient beast, as it carries you upward...

🎵 We Are Not Checkmated

Small windows, taped shut with black plastic. You can't see outside.

Boxes of tools and replacement parts line the shelves.

Schematics for a pinball machine -- futurism themed.

PINBALL MAKER'S COAT

+1 Empathy: M. Nyflox blues +1 Hand/Eye Coordination

This dusty old coat used to belong to someone called "M. Nyflox". The name is stitched into the silk lining. It smells of moths and ancient engine grease, but fits you perfectly. A strange, lonely emotion fills you when you tighten the belt around your waist.

The pinball machine has been taken apart and gutted.

LOGIC - So this is where they brought faulty pinball machines to fix them up -- a long time ago. Everything is covered with dust now...

KIM KITSURAGI - The lieutenant looks around the dusty, crowded room, inspecting the tools on the shelf.

"Looks like they gave up on fixing the pinball machines at some point."

"This used to be a... pinball workshop."

Not interested. [Discard thought.]

KIM KITSURAGI - "At some point -- twenty years ago? Fifteen maybe. Before pinball went out of vogue."

2. "This used to be a... pinball workshop."

KIM KITSURAGI - "Looks like it. I'm guessing Martinaise North 22 used to be a pinball arcade before it became a hostel. There are machines left over..." He taps his foot.

PERCEPTION (HEARING) [Medium: Success] - A creak, some dust falls off a shelf.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Downstairs in the hall -- next to the main door. One of them even works. I've seen one of the Hardies bang away at it."

3. [Finish thought.]

FOOTPRINTS IN THE DUST - You *clearly* see footprints in the downy carpet of dust covering the workshop floor.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Jackpot." The lieutenant takes out his notebook. "These, unlike everything else here, are *new*."

"Someone's been here -- within the last week or two."

"Let's have a closer look then..." (Crouch, study the footprints.)"

"Let's move on." [Leave.]

KIM KITSURAGI - "Three weeks maximum -- from the dust coverage. It could easily have been *one* week too. You know, officer..." He looks at you.

EMPATHY [Easy: Success] - This is so good it makes him forget the whole *Kimball* memory.

That would have made more sense if we hadn't left halfway through this section.

KIM KITSURAGI - "It was a *stereo-investigation* after all. It has now converged with our main investigation. Adding a new fact to *consider*."

Task complete: Explore the Whirling's secret passages

+30 XP

Level up!

2. "Okay. What does this mean?"

KIM KITSURAGI - "It means someone snuck through what seems like a secret route -- behind Klaasje's room. In the recent weeks. This may prove to be significant."

3. "Let's have a closer look then..." (Crouch, study the footprints.)

FOOTPRINTS IN THE DUST - Large prints, most likely made by boots. The size is hard to determine (sole could be bigger than vamp). The soles have left a pattern -- uniform, horizontal lines.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Challenging: Success] - One person has been here. They've gone back and forth. The tips point both ways.

VISUAL CALCULUS [Challenging: Success] - Shoe size is 41-42, maybe 43. It could be a large-footed woman or a small-to-average-footed man. This is, unfortunately, the worst, most vague shoe size there is.

HALF LIGHT [Medium: Success] - Of course! Damn...

"The prints look like one person went back and forth."

"This print doesn't look like the Odd-soled print we found at the hanging, Kim."

"This doesn't look like the workers boots from the hanging, does it?"

Get up. (Conclude.)

KIM KITSURAGI - "Between that," he points to the elevator doors in the corner, "and that," he points to the barred door.

2. "This print doesn't look like the Odd-soled print we found at the hanging, Kim."

KIM KITSURAGI - He inspects the tracks closer. "The size looks about the same, actually. They're not the same *shoe*, but they *could* be the same person."

3. "This doesn't look like the workers boots from the hanging, does it?"

KIM KITSURAGI - "No. These little... horizontal lines are different. They look custom made to me. Or some kind of foreign print? Hard to say. Still a *boot* though."

4. Get up. (Conclude.)

FOOTPRINTS IN THE DUST - Everything around you is quiet. The prints criss-cross the workshop floor.

4. "Let's move on." [Leave.]

There's a tiny hole in the wall. You see a bedroom on the other side.

BARRED DOOR - This is the barred door you tried to kick in before.

Lightly punch the door once more. Just in case.

"So what's on the other side?"

Unbar the door. [Leave]

Let the door remain barred. [Leave.]

BARRED DOOR - The door shudders a bit, as though it were laughing at you.

2. "So what's on the other side?"

KIM KITSURAGI - "Unless we've veered off into a folded M dimension, I'm expecting to step out on the roof -- we could ask Klaasje about this route, see how she reacts?"

CONCEPTUALIZATION [Medium: Success] - Folded M dimension. A reference to the popular science fiction series *In System*. Look who's in a good mood suddenly (and reads science fiction).

INLAND EMPIRE [Medium: Success] - Yes. It *is* quite likely that we will re-emerge on the M-Plain. Brace for psychokinetic impact. (Or the roof.)

3. Unbar the door. [Leave.]

PAIN THRESHOLD - Bent metal, broken glass... your path lies strewn with the broken forms of everyday objects...

You are *The Destroyer*, the bane of inanimate matter.

Gaze upon me, stuff, and despair!

No, I'm just a disempowered individual trying to take my disempowerment out on everyday objects.

Yeah, I rip shit apart.

PAIN THRESHOLD - Look! There's a discarded milk carton on the floor. Why don't you destroy that, too?

Good idea. Fuck you, milk carton, this is all *your* fault!

No, I actually feel sorry for the things I've destroyed. (I'm sorry, milk carton.)

PAIN THRESHOLD - Kudos.

Thought gained: Anti-Object Task Force

ANTI-OBJECT TASK FORCE

Temporary research bonus: -2 Pain Threshold: Hurts! Research time: 2h 15m

Take a look at your hands. See how bruised they are? See those little scars? This is Exhibit A. The material world is holding you back. Containers, mailboxes, doors, chairs -- they are all your enemies. Always have been. Atoms themselves are in on the conspiracy, forming shapes and structures that you hate. You are energy stuck in a body. You are spirit trapped in matter. Break free! Beat up that lamp post! Let it know just how much objects *suck*.

Klaasje is already gone, so no surprising her. You know who we can tell about this, though?

🎵 Whirling-in-Rags, 12 PM

She's made around four months of payments for this room.

You see the yard below. The corpse is no longer there.

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - "Hey." He nods in greeting. "Was there something you needed?"

SUGGESTION [Trivial: Success] - Well, well, bringing him that new bird sure made a difference in his attitude.

3. "Garte, I saw another *thing* at the Whirling..."

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - "Another thing -- great. I love those."

4. "Garte, what if I told you I got into the back room -- behind the *blue steel door.*"

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - "Oh? Okay. Well." He controls his excitement well. "I did hear you make noise back there. So -- good for you."

COMPOSURE [Medium: Success] - He's really, really holding himself back here.

VOLITION [Easy: Success] - It takes a lot of willpower not to ask. Obviously he's been wanting to know what's behind the door...

"Aren't you gonna ask me what's back there?"

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - "Okay -- what *is* back there?"

"Skeletons. A mausoleum of the dead."

"Pinball machines. A pinball workshop."

"Nothing. The black gaping maw at the end of Time."

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - "Yes. Ha ha. What's *actually* behind there?"

3. "Nothing. The black gaping maw at the end of Time."

+1 Apocalypse Cop

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - He shakes his head. "There is no gaping maw. If you don't want to tell me you don't have to. It's okay."

DRAMA [Medium: Success] - *But please do still tell me!*

2. "Pinball machines. A pinball workshop."

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - "Hah! I knew it. I've always wondered where those machines by the door came from -- *and* they told me there was some kind of pinball thing here too..."

"I knew it." He repeats. "Were there any back there? In working order I mean?"

Uh, not anymore.

"Why? Do you want to play? Because I might be up for a game…"

"Didn't check. Pinball isn't relevant to the investigation."

"Didn't check. Pinball is stupid."

KIM KITSURAGI - The lieutenant nods in agreeance.

+1 Reputation

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - "I was... just wondering." He appears to be making a calculation in his head. "If you found pinball machines there..."

DRAMA [Medium: Success] - He was *wondering* about something business-related. About how much money he could make off one.

"Thinking of turning this place back into a pinball arcade?"

"If you're thinking of selling those pinball machines, I want a fat cut. C-Suite shit." (Beat your chest.) "I'm a disruptor."

"I feel a capitalist plot coming up."

+1 Communism

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - "Capitalist *plot*." He rolls his eyes. "The pinball we have in the corner now is broken -- I want to diversify the entertainment options."

"It wouldn't hurt to get a little life in here. Other than the hellish karaoke machine. That one's always *causing trouble*."

+5 XP

LOGIC [Medium: Success] - Yeah, those numbers he's adding up must be making good sense to him right now.

4. "There's a peephole in the wall."

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - He startles. "What wall?"

"Upstairs in the secret back room -- right next to Klaasje's bedroom. I found it when I found the pinball machines."

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - "I'll have it fixed at once. Thank you for letting me know. I assure you -- the Whirling does *not* abide spying on its guests."

COMPOSURE [Medium: Success] - The colour has drained from his face.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Medium: Success] - What a shame. To fix such a good peephole.

"Are you sure *you* haven't been spying on your guests?"

"Couldn't you *keep* the hole there? What if there are some hotties staying in that room…" (Wink.)

"Alright -- you've been notified." (Conclude.)

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - "Absolutely not." He breathes in and out. "Fuck you for even implying it. It wasn't me, it wasn't my staff. The establishment will look at it and ascertain what it was."

DRAMA [Medium: Success] - Well, he's definitely not lying -- he wouldn't endanger this business like that.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Sir, he was only asking a question. It's his job -- and mine. See that it's covered."

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - "Yes. I absolutely will." He calms his breathing. "Sorry. It's been a bit of a day -- and now a hole in the wall."

2. "Alright -- you've been notified." (Conclude.)

GARTE, THE CAFETERIA MANAGER - "Thank you, I'll patch it up personally. Was there something else about the establishment? I hope not..."

+5 XP

There isn't, so that's going to conclude our time here today.

[kirabug-tumbles]

Thoughts:

1. I’m looking forward to playing this machine even though Multimorphic’s “pinball kit” approach results in fairly boring playfields most of the time.

2. The Cliffs of Insanity sound amazing but I hope they’re a toy (that *is* the technical term) that holds up better than the Alien in the Alien pinball machine or the ship in the original Pirates of the Caribbean.

The challenge with high caliber players is they’re rough on machines. Not in the “beat them up” sense (though some collectors wince when a machine takes a slap save) but in the “was it actually developed to withstand a 30 minute game?” sense.

If you’ve seen the Technology Connections pinball videos you know just how complex and wire-filled pinball machines are (and if you haven’t, pop some popcorn, this is a two parter. https://youtu.be/ue-1JoJQaEg?si=G86FzPhIfG0nMpgy )

3. God I love that movie

4. While the video presenter makes it sound like playing with only one hand is a new development, there are a couple other machines with similar modes. (Hell, Tommy makes you play without being able to see the flippers, much less decide which hand to use.) The wall climbing mode looks like a play off of Bonzai Run (I might be forgetting the name) or a couple others that either load the back of the playfield with toys or put them in the backbox. Pinball has tried a lot of crazy stuff over the years.

That being said, just like a new version of meat, cheese, and lettuce doesn’t make tacos worse, a new version of “light shot, smack ball” is always appreciated.

All told, good review, good (looking) pinball machine (for a Multimorphic) and god I love that movie, so I’m looking forward to adding it to my list of games played.

Adapting a movie into a pinball machine is a surprisingly difficult task. But the Princess bride pinball machine does it really well!

TEKTalk Retro Krista Install

I am doing Nor'wood inspections this week and ran across this beauty. My girl Krista did this install. It's a flawless install with the fire alarm panel and tree of devices above it to the conduit work on the riser itself. Confidently I grabbed one of the junction boxes on the riser and said to the building rep... see these things won't move because we double lock nut them. I was soooo proud that the box didn't even jiggle. Krista did an amazing job that will last for decades to come. It's really cool and on routine inspections I run across these Krista installs all the time. Her business cards are still in the fire panel backbox. I leave them in there because it is a legacy. I see lots of fire panels with peoples business cards in them and I leave them because it is legacy. This panel is one of Kristas legacy's and whenever she drives by the building she will say...."I did that". I do it all day myself.

successfully left the house only to buy toilet paper and milk. but also the hofer backbox pastries were hot and very fresh

so I got pizzaschnecken and topfengolatschen. I will now be eating them like saturn devouring his son

laid absolutely low by migraine prodrome yesterday, but thus far seemed to avoid the pain by virtue of liberal application of cocodamol

either way I'm calling out today after great debate and consideration. because fuck all that. I technically could muscle through today but I'd just throw myself right back into the basement afterward
