Hello! I fix #pinball machines and #arcade games, and tell you all about it! I fix lots of other things too, and occasionally tell you about that. I also run one of the web's longest-surviving #textAdventure games, called Improbable Island, and I often write here on Fedi about decade-scale online community management stuff. Husband, dad, professional Thing Fixer and amateur woodworker in my early 40's, an #immigrant from the UK to the USA. Gun enthusiasts pls do not follow/interact. Pronoun He

You see this shit, this shit is what happens when people don't touch coins. If these people picked up a JAMMA cab cash bucket full of a grand's worth of quarters and gave it a shake and slished their fingers around in the coins they'd feel much better and their brains wouldn't be doing so much of this because their fingers would know that money was real. I'm not just saying that because I'm in the coin-op industry, I'm 100% serious
