The Pinball Q&A video is now live
Added 2024-09-09 19:50:30 +0000 UTCHere it is!
This took me longer to make than I planned both because there were a lot of questions and because I thought it would be better to actually insert B-roll. So this is closer to main-channel quality than is typical for Connextras, although it's not scripted so captions will be auto-generated.
My plan is to make a main channel video before I make the sights and sounds video on Aztec, so you should see something there next.

I have to say, I have no interest in actually _playing_ pinball, but I could get completely lost in the intricacies of how these electro-mechanical systems worked. So cool! I really hope you keep going. Even if the video format / level of editing doesn't match the main channel :)

2024-09-12 17:21:19 +0000 UTCAbout the control of flippers: if you do it directly, it might be quicker, if it goes through a microcontroller, there might be a slight delay, depending on the design and SW it might be noticeable. My experience there is at least with organs and synthesizers: a mechanical pipe organ gives you direct control over the valve, but if you use electrics, electronics and/or pneumatics inbetween, you can notice the delay and you really have to play differently. The same I notice between Hammond Organ or analog synthesizers and digital simulations: the latter ones usually have a small delay, although in miliseconds range, still noticeable when playing.

2024-09-09 23:50:34 +0000 UTCMay I suggest hiring someone for captions even if they are not scripted? I have a reference if desired. :-)
