Greetings all. I'm here to introduce myself and express my thanks that such a place exists.
Personal info: I'm an older guy from Louisiana in the US but now living in Colorado. I love it here but the oysters are not quite the same.
Hoping to make it back down south eventually. I'm an engineer for a company that makes traffic control equipment.
During this lockdown I've found myself spending more and more time on YouTube and less time watching TV. I ran across Wolfpack345's videos and thought that sub simulator games looked like fun. I've always liked sims and I've always had an interest in military history. Then from there I discovered Jive Turkey and some of the other guys doing playthroughs. So I figured I'd give it a try.
I'm starting out with SH4 but I will likely explore SH3 too at some point and I want to try Cold Waters as well. The new modern warfare game looks really great too. I hope that one gets off the ground. Game-wise, I have a lot of the training wheels turned on for now. I'm practicing things like trying to sneak into a convoy without being detected (harder than I thought) and how to set up an attack. As I get better, the training wheels will come off. My goal is to make things as real as possible because that, to me, is what sims are all about.
Some of my other interests include brewing beer and music. I've been brewing since the dark days of the late 80's and a music fan as long as I can remember. The water here is about as good as it gets for brewing. Say what you want to about Coors but they did get that right.
I appreciate all the hard work that has gone into this place and it appears to be a great community of very helpful folks. It's an amazing resource. A big
to all of you.
