Name a cooler job than a pinball tester at Stern...
- Thread starter dave
- Start date
Well, that’s a baffling advert.
Given JJP were paying $17k a year for game testers... I can think of at least one BIG reason I wouldn’t be one.
Also, I can think of *lots* of jobs better than repeatedly testing the same set of shots, even within pinball - it’s not like you actually *play* the games all day. Game designer? Coder? The person who designs the mechs?

The one on the end who's allowed to use the flippers has the best time for sure, but that could have been in a JJP or AP tour that I've seen. They use like the captive ball on a rod to test most switch but didn't see that here.
I know they have asked for it with that question, I think most people can muster up better jobs outside and in pinball.
There are much less cooler jobs out there than that to be fair to them though.

Probably better than manning their customer service phone and dealing with endless complaints about crappy end stops etc 
I can’t say what but yeah way cooler than that and I did it long enough
Edit
Be good for a week though

I think that if you actually cared about pinball machines, this job would break you.
Varnish not dry - send it out
Mechs misaligned - send it out
Grease under the pf - send it out
Flippers at different angles - send it out
Crappy code - send it out
Rubbish foam on switches - send it out
Airball frenzy - send it out

Pretty well any job becomes 'the norm'
Plus I doubt if 99% of people would do that job for that money.
