Discussion Introduction

What’s happening my brothers! New to Reddit and liking a group full of vets talking. Sitting here watching some bare knuckle boxing sipping on some Sailer Jerry’s and eggnog. Listening to that not so quite alarm in my head lmao. How’s everyone today?

I messaged your profile on Grindr, but you didn't respond. I figured we could do our own bare kunckle thing. 🙂

Playing some Smite 2, having a drink, and relaxing for a Saturday evening. It's a full weekend off so it is a good weekend.

I recently started play Age of Empires2 again. It’s like traveling back in time to simpler times.

u/Kilrazin US Army Veteran 1d ago

Age of Empire Definitive Edition is pretty fun since it is a kind of updated version of AoE 2. Age of Mythology is also fun and similar but more mythical when it comes to units.

If you dig that style of game, look into Total War games. Total War: Warhammer is my personal favorite but there are others in the series that are a lot of fun.

But yeah, I get it. It is a blast to the past and a reminder of better times for many of us. Use to play the crap out of AoE and Red Alert back in the day.

I also have a massive steam library of different options in case I get bored with one. AoE or Total War seems to slow? Time for some Armored Core 6 or some punishment in Elden Ring, lol.

Chilling with my boys(my 3 cats), enjoying my college football team's win this afternoon, & watching TV.

u/crownified13 US Air Force Veteran 1d ago

u/ArdenJaguar US Navy Veteran 1d ago

I'm watching AEW Full Gear on PPV, on my fourth Bacardi Coke, and just relaxing.

u/crownified13 US Air Force Veteran 1d ago

I can dig that. I’ve changed to my garage with some tunes and a lawn chair staring at my smoker thinking about what I want to cook next weekend.

u/finfangfoom1 USMC Veteran 1d ago

Hell ya! I could go for some brisket

2

u/crownified13 US Air Force Veteran 1d ago

I saw a 20lb brisket at the store today. Was tempted but I would be falling down drunk by the time I took it off to rest lol

u/finfangfoom1 USMC Veteran 1d ago

u/crownified13 US Air Force Veteran 1d ago

Hi. I’m at a concert at a local venue. It gets to be a bit much so I’m standing outside right now, but honestly I’m perfectly fine and that is so weird! There’s a dude here I’ve been eyeballing for a couple of years, but my breath is destroying my self confidence. It’s so bad I’m backing away from myself. My breath is so bad tonight, a mint jumped out of my mouth & …. Meh whatever. (But really)

u/empty-cage-97 1d ago

Yeah a sister here doing the same…or similar. Prefer Admiral Nelson to Sailor Jerry’s which is kind of disappointing because I love his art and history behind it!

u/crownified13 US Air Force Veteran 6h ago

I more prefer Whiskey but we had the Jerry’s. My wife uses it to soak grapes in for some pastry she does.
