Notable quotes
“I have not left. I mean I have left, but it just was unbelievable just to that place is incredible.”
“Pinball Rachel, talk about myself in third person... I didn't realize that there was this finesse of that... now my nudging has gotten better... I tilt less.”
“The number one thing that I think has made me a better player because I've learned more about games, about the rule set of games... is the time that I've spent in the booth at District 82.”
“I'm much more proud of one other fact about my pinball stuff... I ended 2023 as 12th woman overall in open division.”
“It's not just the place, it's the people. Pinball is all inclusive. It's not just the place, it's the people.”
“I really don't know you know if i could really say anything about the impact of pinball content, I mean besides like pinball being on the front page of Twitch that was pretty cool, 10,000 views but like I don't know if any of the pinball content really makes a dynamic impact to the rest of the world.”
“He goes, yeah, you're Rachel Try Multiball... my jaw like, ah, Jamie, you know. I'm still a fan girl.”
“I'm like, well, okay. But I feel like I'm such an idiot because of Rookie Rachel... he's like, you just come on in. We learn together. And he is so right.”
“There's a hidden community of nice people here that I can hang out with and play these awesome games and no game is really the same.”
“I think pinball is also something where it's either you love it or you're just kind of about it... either you're crazy about it or you're just... you could take it or leave it.”
