Happy Bday To mee~!
5 months ago
Yeeeeah it's my 30th bday now ^^
The past 24 hours have been hectic funny enough too as I was running late to my own bday party because it was set on the 4th and not today and I almost slept past it.
I was late to it, but did make up for it. Played quite a lot at Dave and Busters and got some nice gifts from my family x3
And then after that I was running on 3 hours of sleep and was trying to get as much rest as I could until work, but then it resulted in me being awake for 18 hours and with just 3 hours of sleep. By the time I was back home I was soooo exhausted.
Sooo yeah, just got a nap in because my body just can't seem to get any more sleep than 3-4 hours now, but im feeling better now!
But besides all that, it's been really nice seeing so many messages from all the friends and peeps I know. It does warm my heart knowing so many people do take notice and I wanna show my appreciation to that.
I don't really feel bad at all being 30 either. I used to think my life would be already half way over at 30 back when I was in school, like I didn't even see 40 as the mid life crisis, but I saw 30 or even 20 as that point. The longer I've been living though the more I believe that while I may have less time, I still have time and still have goals I want to achieve with the life I have. With how well I've improved myself this year alone I feel like I'm really taking the steps I need to do what I always wanted with my life.

Second, I wonder if you'd be getting drained until your next birthday as a gift?
...and finally, god I wish I knew you were planning a Dave & Buster's run, as I pretty much live at that place and it's an entire income stream for me (not working there - playing the games!) I could have probably saved you so much money...
Curious - what games did you farm tickets on?
and fair, I wasnt exactly looking to optimize my gains, but considering there were a few things there I might've liked like say some massage tools, then i would have looked into some bigger wins.
outside of DDR and the axe throwing, my mom, aunt, cousin and I all worked on this coin machine where you drop coins to see if more can drop and in this one there was an assortment of star trek cards. I felt like I was doing pretty well, figuring out a couple tricks really quick on when to put the coins in and got quite a lot of cards, even had enough to make nearly two full collections, but the especially rare one I gave one of them to my aunt cause she spent all hers trying to get it.
To give you an idea of my escapades there:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip_gBTYGd0s <-- here is an as of this moment unlisted video of me knocking out 12,000+ tickets in 43 minutes on a game that's going away soon. This has been part of my grind for over a decade.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qqh5hz3QfNs <-- another unlisted video in which I detail a glitch that can be used to infinitely generate tickets at a fairly decent speed. Not all stores have this game, god I wish we could get this one back as we only had it during testing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfdL7xxPUmk <-- the public version of the above game showing basic score progression.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay1LWyTETcM <-- 20 wins in a row on the older football game, 2-Minute Drill.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArZRQa7Z-dc <-- Zombie Snatcher being an infinite ticket farm before they "upgraded" the system to an elevator that brings pucks up so they didn't always have to have a 500 ticket puck on the board.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k12s2s-EhbE <-- introductory level video of Tailgate Toss showing 5,000 tickets being won.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko6lq3yAX-o <-- hard mode Tailgate
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2EC58TaO2Y <-- here's a video of a before/after of my store; the first half is showing the scores required to win on the games before I've been there and the 2nd, while the Lavender Town music is playing, are after I've laid waste to the place.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2nNEpB41rU <-- and for the hell of it, here's me winning a jackpot in fursuit.
You have nooooo idea the world you've just walked into. Let me train you and I will have you consistently making money from any arcade you walk in to after you build your skillset.
