- Stranger Things code reached V1.00 completion, Black Knight Rage got V1.02 with DJ mixer, Avengers Infinity Quest received major V.94 update
- TPN reached out to female podcasters like Crystal Gimnick for inclusion based on merit, not quota
- Stern potentially planning a Steve Ritchie music pinball release before end of 2020

Notable quotes
“I've had enough. I want something different... I'm no longer going to tiptoe, walk on eggshells. Life is short, man. It's just too short.”
“That was the nail in the coffin. That was a stomach punch. We have documentation showing it. Using social justice to harm other people.”
“It was a blatant way to try to discredit us there was no way in hell that we had were sexist in any damn way at all none of us has ever portrayed any sense of being sexist”
“Somebody went in and they stole, they bought up all the IP. Yeah, our fault for not doing that. To just be an asshole about something and go in and just do that just to hinder someone in the community.”
“I do not like spending my fucking time on the internet having to defend myself. That's why I don't post bullshit. That's why I don't get involved in a lot of stuff.”
“It's still pinball. I still miss it. I still missed all of it. You were my friend. You wanted everything to continue. So a lot of it I do for you. But a lot of it's just, I don't know. I still like to give my opinion on games.”
“To ship a pin crippled out of the box? That would just kill Deep Root before they even start. My take is this program will be analogous to Microsoft's Game Pass or Sony's PlayStation Now.”
“Perception is truth on the internet. Because no one wants to ask questions. No one wants to go in and no one wants to reach out to us and say, hey, guys, what really happened?”
