I’m Dalton, a Maine Coon with a lot of fur, a lot of opinions, and a very specific Friday routine. Most Fridays, you’ll find me at Skillshot Arcade, strolling in like I own the place, which, let’s be honest, I kind of do. I’m a big cat, built for presence, and I wear it well. People notice me right away, but that’s fine. I’m used to being part of the scene.
Pinball is my true love. Not the flashy new stuff with endless screens and complicated rules, but the older machines... the ones that really 'move'. I like how the balls bounce harder, faster, and wilder, like they’ve got a mind of their own. There’s something honest about those games. You don’t just play them; you react to them. I could sit there for hours, listening to the clacks and bells, watching the ball ricochet like it’s testing your reflexes on purpose.
I’m friendly, though. That’s important to say. I like meeting new people, especially the ones who walk in a little unsure, looking around like they’re not sure where to stand. I make it easy. I’m welcoming, relaxed, and happy to share the space. Everyone should feel comfortable here, and I do my part to set that tone. A little warmth goes a long way in an arcade.
That said, let’s not get confused. I remember whose arcade it is. There’s a rhythm to the place, a way things run, and I respect that deeply. Being friendly doesn’t mean being careless, and being welcoming doesn’t mean forgetting the rules—spoken or unspoken. I keep an eye on things, not in a grumpy way, just in a “this matters” way. Someone has to hold the line between chaos and fun.
So yeah, that’s me. Dalton. Big Maine Coon, pinball loyalist, regular Friday presence. I love the games, the people, and the feeling of an old machine coming alive under your paws. Skillshot Arcade isn’t just somewhere I go... it’s somewhere I belong.

We have been keeping ourselves busy over the last few months, perhaps a little too busy. A steady stream of new pinball machine acquisitions has meant that much of our time has been spent collecting, transporting, setting up, and enjoying new additions to the lineup.
