I was joking that that after Star Wars and BK:SOR he wasn't forced into retirement ;)
BUT, it will be interesting to see what happens with him at a company that isn't afraid of a BOM...

Easy Tricks to Refresh Your Bedroom

Your bedroom might be the most important room in the house, because ideally a person would spend about eight hours a day in this room. Moreover, this is where you will relax and recharge for the next day. Hence, the bedroom should be treated as the heart of the house. When you pay close attention and take good care of your heart, you live a healthy life. When you put effort into making your bedroom comfortable and cozy, you have good sleep which undoubtedly will contribute significantly to your health. We have 5 easy tricks to refresh your bedroom!

Get More Info: The King Live

Change the Bed Sheets

The first thing you can do to refresh your bedroom is changing the bed sheets for a more comfy and soft bedding. You can choose washed cotton for a relaxed look with subtle creases already on it. This fabric is ultra-soft and breathable, which is suitable for a hot and humid climate. Another great choice is a soft cotton waffle texture duvet cover set for a classic and elegant look. A popular choice is upgrading to a top reviewed bed cover with higher thread count which is more lightweight and has a softer finish.

Air Purification

Air purifiers are especially helpful for people who smoke in their home or have allergies to pet hair. Best of products on Amazon prime is the LEVOIT Air Purifier which works quietly but efficiently to filter the air while you are sleeping. It has an advanced three-stage filtration system to capture allergens, smoke, pet hair, and any other particles that are polluting the air inside the bedroom. In addition, it circulates the air four times per hour to help speed up the purification process.

House Plants

A natural way to refresh your bedroom is putting some house plants on your nightstand or bedroom desk. House plants such as aloe vera, snake plants, and peace lily are perfect for the bedroom because they are known for their abilities to take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. In addition, their greenness will help you be at ease and relaxed at the end of the day.

Change Lighting

A lamp on your bedside table, or a sconce on your nightstand does not cost much, but it can totally change the atmosphere of the bedroom. Switch from white to yellow light for a cozier atmosphere. If you already have a nightstand lamp, you can consider putting it up higher so the light can spread out more. Putting the lights strategically in the corners can immediately make the room look more spacious.

Add Scent

Before going to bed, you can spray your pillow or your room with your favorite scent. Other ways are lighting a scented candle or dropping a few drops of essential oils into the diffuser to bring a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

Therefore, having a calm and well-organized bedroom is very important for your physical and mental health. Do you have any other tips and tricks to refresh your bedroom?

As I read one comment, It makes you wonder about the business sense of JJ pinball that releases only 1 game a year to hire another designer when they already have several talented and well known ones. Don't get me wrong, I love Steve Richie and have several of his designed games. Maybe it's only part time or on a contract basis?
Collection: SM(Stn),T2,HS2,CFTBL,MBrLE,CCrLE,JJPOTCLE,WWind,WCS94,EBD,MM

Owned in the past: RFM,AvengersHulkLE,Elvis,EBD,EB,SegaGZ

Would like AFMrLE & PFLE.

His last few games have been uninspired. His last great game was Star Trek. JJP has plenty of great designers given the number of games they produce a year.

I'd rather JJP focus on quality control. Get the playfield issues resolved. That should be priority #1.

Maybe their plan is to start releasing more games? Another title to keep things fresh and moving a little more quickly perhaps?

now that would be exciting! Some people were a bit disappointed with Hot Wheels' lack of tracks + gimmicks, so this would be a great time to do a cartoonish racing pin for JJP with a bigger budget for toys.

Star Wars premium avec l'hyperloop est un des meilleur design auquel j'ai joué dans ma vie. Steve Ritchie est a mon avis le meilleur designers de playfield qu'on a eu la chance d'avoir, il connais toutes les subtilitées et facon de bien placer les éléments pour faire des playfields ''fast and furious'' a leur meilleur.

Le problème est que Stern limite terriblement son prix de reviens pour maximiser ses profits, il gratte sans cesse les cennes a gauche et a droite en réduisant la qualitées de son produit sans trop que ca parraisse.
Les dernière pinballs sont les plus ''cheap'' jamais faite a certain niveau dont les gens ne voit pas au premier coup d'oeil. Elle semblent encore pareilles aux machines faite 3-4 ans plus tôt mais ce n'est pas le cas.

Je suis bien content de voir que toute l'expérience et le génie de SR va pouvoir mieux s'exprimer chez JJP avec des playfields offrant plus de possibilités. Je crois qu'il y a de la place pour des pinballs a 13-14K$US selon ce que je constate sur pinside, le marché est là et n'attend que ca.
The video game i want to play is always the one i don't have :FP:
