Notable quotes
“The Nudge Aesthetic, the best way for me to put it is I think it's a skateboarding magazine from the 90s, except for it's about pinball.”
“I love pinball so much... it's kind of like tongue in cheek, right? Because it is not a job at all. But you're just like, no days off. Like, I want to play every day.”
“I do think a pinball machine is an expression of art just as much as like a book or a movie is”
“I think metallica is really fucking mid like i don't like it that much... it kind of looks like a it's like eighth grade like notebook drawings”
“dude people can tell when you fake it like it sucks like i didn't want to do something that felt cheesy or like halfway, I want to do it all the way”
“I think if people kind of listened for like input and like internalized it they'd actually be able to get away with stuff that they couldn't otherwise”
“pinball is actually easier to get into than skateboarding because you can see how cool it is there's like movie themes that are right there that you're already familiar with”
“We take it and we take it seriously but we don't take ourselves seriously you know like that's the vibe”
