- Dennis Creasel published a choose-your-own-adventure book (Take a Shot Stories #1: Beach Chip Beware) with 40+ authors and a vampire story anthology; both available for $0.99 pre-order on Kindle
Notable quotes
“For the price of a cup of coffee, you can have three of these books.”
“They haven't acknowledged that this is different but we're actually listener going to see a run of premiums in June as well...premiums may hit the majority of homeowners before the pros.”
“Mandalorian, I think, is going to outsell anything else this year, and I think it outsells anything that was released last year. So it seems weird to go a whole month without running it.”
“I think the best time to move to the next game is when the line slows. That's the manufacturing way. And their line definitely ain't slow right now.”
“I think it's time for Stern Pinball to maybe think about increasing their size yet again.”
“I still think that the bottlenecks, the parts is why I don't agree...if they're running into parts issues then it's just...I mean it is what it is.”
“Some of the pros, the pro had, in my opinion, had some really big positives, maybe even over the premium LE.”
“The armor used on the visuals of the LCD screen of Mandalorian was the armor in Season 1...He said he wished that you would see at some point being able to upgrade to that Season 2, very sleek, uniform, consistent Beskar outfit.”
