Oh no. Apple shut down Dark Sky and replaced it with a phone app.

What ad-free weather website do other people use?

it's still 1980 on Silver Ball Century, my chronological playthrough of virtual #pinball, and there's a lot of excellent tables to play! Viewers request tables as long as they're from 1980

New year, new tournament -- I'm part of the #alttprandomizer Async Doors League, a series of races where the players don't have to play simultaneously.

Starting out intense with a criss-cross Pottery Lottery run

Same stream: revisiting my favorite short game, A Short Hike

Mystery Mystery - a run of #alttprandomizer (maybe door rando or overworld rando), #earthbound PK Scramble, or Super Mario World Archipelago Randomizer, with mystery settings.

Which one? it is a mystery

In about an hour, I’m participating in FlannelKat’s New Year tradition, a very casual, unpracticed 70-star “race” of Super Mario 64

SCROOGE: You, boy! What day is it?
BOY: Why, it’s Mario the 64th!

@nicole it’s machines like this that suggest that LaGuardia kind of had a point, he just didn’t need to be such an asshole about it

and I have now seen a machine from 1937! the lost era of pinball! you can’t even find these in VPX!

it was not operational but that’s okay, it looks awful to play. and I have enjoyed games from 1935

though the best moment at the museum was scoring the 8 ball on Eight Ball (1977), with 5x bonus, while playing against my sister, just before the place closed

went to the Asheville Pinball Museum and got the top #pindigo score on Blue Max (1975)! Note the 100,000 light. #pinball

Silver Ball Century, my chronological #pinball stream, continues tonight! Viewers choose tables as long as they're from 1980

they were trying to get me to accept a substitution of boring Godiva milk chocolate two weeks late

anyone got any recommendations for a chocolate-sending company that actually stocks chocolate?

why did I not realize that trying to order a gift of chocolate online would be exactly as full of bait-and-switch drop-shipping scams as ordering flowers is

it's exactly the same scam, to the point that it was literally 1-800-FLOWERS that called to say they wouldn't be able to fulfill the order

you also have to say "Fediverse" to include PeerTube, a video sharing site that you were not talking about
