Another Submariner Entering the Flotilla
Ahoy everyone!
I'm Max, but if there's any hams in the midst, you'll have no problem in figuring out my other moniker. Or, if you're like my family that doesn't know anything about amateur radio, my name, or "kegger" would also suffice. I'll leave it to personal discretion. At any rate, I figure I ought to post here, instead of being my typical semi-anti-social self. In a nutshell, as I don't want to ramble on as if I'd been spending all night pub crawling just prior to deployment, I was born with cerebral palsy nearly 31 years ago, would have been in line with the Navy had it not been for my disability, and I'm no stranger whatsoever to naval simulations. Although, I do think my patience has diminished, along with some of my mathematics and reflexes... I was introduced to the world of naval simulations by a little gem put out by Microprose in the 90's known as Task Force 1942, and actually before that there was a lovely little game on the NES called Silent Service. (If you haven't heard of it, I'd be really surprised.) Anyhow, I'm currently running SH3-5 (although 5 is quite choppy on this laptop. I've got a desktop, but other people are always using it, so yeah...) via Steam, and so far, I'm liking it far better than let's say Naval Assault on the Xbox 360. (Thank you, time compression!) I hate to admit it, but I'm one of those players that has a hard time waiting on targets, and there are times where I'll decide to do a whole mission restart because of a dud torpedo, or near miss. I've been perusing the mods, but since I'm confusing myself with JSGME and Steam, I might at least try to attempt a vanilla playthrough before modding. I've been known to mod before even trying a game out, so we'll see. All hatches are secured, and the ship is rigged to dive. If anyone needs me, I'll be at my duty station, happily near the galley and coffee-maker. 73's,

Just a note for der Onkel: Despite being a new member and having a really limited, fixed-income, the dedication and activity I see here on the site impresses me quite a bit. I'm a member of a couple of online communities that have been around about as long as Subsims, so I'm fairly well-versed in what it takes to run a successful outfit like this. That being said, this disabled gamer plans to be tossing you a donation probably within the next month. It's not to gain a custom avatar, or even for the elevated or special permissions - but for the simple fact that when I see a heartfelt project like this, I feel it's worth it. (At least I'll feel tons better than I did when dropping $20 for Naval Assault...) Plus, with your Amazon commissions set up, it looks like I'll be buying my Anker power-brick, as well as some LED/EL lighting for my wheelchairs through it. When money isn't an issue, of course. Now, I'll shut my trap before I ramble any further, and get back to killing time and frustration between SH3 and 4. Kinda makes me wish that WotP had a campaign and career akin to what's done in 3 and 5. I'd play the heck out of 5 if it wasn't so laggy on this laptop... Rigging for silent running. EDIT: And a thank you to all the others who posted while I took my sweet ol' time writing this post! Here I was thinking that out of all the people online, not a single other person was going to reply. Serves me a good slice of humble pie, eh? *lol*
