I actually won something from a claw machine
(lemmy.world)
Congratulations you won a thing.
Very nice. I'm assuming you won it the legit way. The last one I won, I swung the arm around really fast and knocked a prize down the chute.
Please tell me of you ways so I must know this hidden power
The prizes were stacked higher than the claw and I moved the claw behind a group and whipped the joystick like I was whisking batter.
It was similar to this but faster.
Very cool
On the last day of school in 7th grade, we were taken to an amusement park. The claw machine must have been configured wrong, cause I won nearly every round. The kids all thought I was great at it. Knowing what I know now about how they have settings to dial-in how accurate they are, it had to be a botched setting.
Yes! It's a..
I have a yellow Kirby I won from a claw machine in Santa Cruz a few years ago. Only time I've won a claw machine that wasn't one of those "play until you win some candy" types.
I don't even usually play them much anymore after learning that the grip strength is a setting that limits it to pure luck than skill (like the claws won't actually grip tightly every time, it's like one out of every 10 or so plays). You ever get the claw on something and it just seems like it didn't even try to grab the thing, that's why.
I like is expression.
Awesome!

What is it?
Some kind of bouncy ball. The handles are fun to fidget with.

Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
