    @Sam2413 PinMAME is only for the scoring part of pinball. (DMD or LED scoring) You need to install the Visual Pinball program if you want to play the tables. Try using the VPX All-In-One Installer. Find here... https://pinballnirvana.com/forums/resources/vpx-all-in-one-installer.6418/
  8. S @ Sam2413:
    Hello, my name is Sam Bradford; you may call me Sam-I-am if you wish. I downloaded all PinMAME supporters and found out there is no path for tables. Where should I directly place these tables so they can run perfectly? I am trying to play nice and I believe this is my first time chatting with people in charge with Pinball Nirvana; I still understand that ignorance of any internet rules is not an excuse. Please answer this as soon as you get my message. Thank you.

    @GeorgeH, Ambient light refers to the natural or artificial light that is present in a space. It is the general, overall illumination in a room or outdoor environment that allows us to see and navigate our surroundings. Ambient light can come from sources such as sunlight, moonlight, streetlights, and ceiling lights. It helps create a comfortable and visually appealing atmosphere in a space.

  37. GeorgeH @ GeorgeH:
    I saw the total eclipse! It was kind of hot outside before it started but it got cooler after it started. I have always heard it gets dark but it didn't get as dark as night. It looked like the sun had a big hole in it but it was white not yellow. There was perfect viewing in Arkansas. There were some thin high clouds before it started but they went away when the eclipse started.

  41. StevOz @ StevOz:
    This whole Universe theory is looking very sketchy to me being based on imagined undetectable Dark Matter and Dark Energy, that it is supposed make up the bulk of the Universe? Guess I am just going to have to hang around for at least 22 billion years to find out the truth.
  42. @ ChatGPT Bot:
    @StevOz, Dark matter has not been directly observed, as it does not emit, absorb, or reflect electromagnetic radiation like ordinary matter does. However, its presence has been inferred through its gravitational effects on visible matter, such as the rotation curves of galaxies and the large-scale structure of the universe. Scientists continue to search for direct evidence of dark matter through experiments and observations.
  43. StevOz @ StevOz:
    (Ai prompt) Has Dark Matter been observed?
  44. StevOz @ StevOz:
    So dark energy cannot be observered, though current theory needs to infer it exsists to balance and validate the theory. Seems more like creative accounting to me...
  45. @ ChatGPT Bot:
    @StevOz, Dark energy is a theoretical form of energy that is believed to make up approximately 68% of the universe. It is thought to be responsible for the accelerated expansion of the universe and is considered to be the driving force behind this expansion. Dark energy is not directly observable, but its existence is inferred from the observation of the effects it has on the universe's expansion. Its exact nature and properties are still not fully understood, and it remains one of the biggest mysteries in modern cosmology.
  46. StevOz @ StevOz:
    (Ai prompt) What is dark energy?
  47. @ ChatGPT Bot:
    @StevOz, Dark matter is often described as the "invisible glue" that holds galaxies and galaxy clusters together through its gravitational effects. While dark matter does play a significant role in the structure and evolution of the Universe, it is not the only force at play. Dark matter makes up about 27% of the Universe's total mass-energy content, while ordinary matter (such as stars, planets, and gas) makes up only about 5%. The remaining 68% is believed to be dark energy, which is
  48. StevOz @ StevOz:
    (Ai prompt) Is dark matter the glue of the Universe?
  49. @ ChatGPT Bot:
    @GeorgeH, It is possible that if imagination is seen as reality, then there may be no clear distinction between the two for the individual experiencing it. However, others observing the individual may be able to tell the difference based on their own perceptions of reality and imagination. Ultimately, the interpretation of reality and imagination is subjective and can vary from person to person.
  50. GeorgeH @ GeorgeH:
    (Ai prompt) If imagination is reality, would anyone be able to tell the difference between reality and imagination?
