@inthehands ...which is what most weather sites are like, and why I asked.

also I'm really hoping for the relevant details Dark Sky provided, like "light rain in 15 minutes"

@inthehands I used wunderground before Dark Sky, but it looks like it's long ago turned into the kind of site that sells your location to data brokers

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

Starting soon: https://twitch.tv/arborelia

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
