Title: Pulling out
Post by: shppr01 on May 29, 2021, 11:29:00 AM
This may be long or short , but as of now I must pull out . My pc is dead and I haven't the money or the patience to fix or get a new one. So I must leave. It has been a great pleasure flying and tanking with all of you. I have enjoyed working the AvA for the past nine years off and on, Especially running tank wars!  This game has been a big part of my rehab from depression and a break from all my medical problems. I have made some great friends here and
i will appreciate all of them!

   Please be safe and do well . I hope to one day come back if my situation changes.
 Until then, Take care of yourselves and each other!

  Clear skies to you all
 Shipper/Chris

Hang in there, Shipper, things will come together.  Thanks for all the work you’ve done in AvA.  We’ll all be looking for you sooner, rather than later.

Shppr, so sorry to hear.  You’ve always been a great friend and a worthy adversary, especially on Thursday nights.  Thanks for your dedication to the AvA.  Hopefully, your health and PC situation will improve quickly and you’ll be back in here where you belong.

All the best, my friend!  :salute

Sorry to hear about your computer and having to leave because of it. I hope to see you back sir!

Thank you and Jaeger for putting so much work into things in the AvA. I’ve only done the Thursday night Tank Wars a couple times, when time allows I’ll definitely join in. Was a blast the couple times I did.

Also sorry to hear that depression and medical problems are plaguing you.  The two definitely go hand in hand in my experience. I too am having both at the moment with the death of one my very closest friends.

Please PM me if you would like to. My brother was murdered in the home I grew up in 1997 when I was away at college. So it’s not my first go around with this sadness, grieving and depression.

Wishing that you start feeling better soon!

What would it take?   I TOTALY get you, "Depression and a break from Medical Problems"?  I am dealing with MS(Multiple Sclerosis) and Pseudobulbar Affect   Dont make me go, Make A Wish..to keep you in game!! :bolt:

Sounds like we are losing someone who wants to play but can't due to a busted pc

Shppr01 wants to play and with his involvement with the game I think the AH family should try to help.

How can we get him a new computer?

Any ideas anyone? Money or computer parts?

Shppr01 are you in the states?

What is broken and what is needed to get you back in the game?

1stpar and Eagletr. I really appreciate the offers   However, my pc is too dar gone to get fixed. I’m also not really the type to be beholder on anyone. I will figure something out and be back ASAP. A new pc isn’t in the cards but I’m looking into a gaming laptop. I’m hoping it might play AH.
  Again, I appreciate everyone who posted. I will miss you all!!! At least for a little while!

Shipper,

     I hate to see you go ship.  The work you have done over the years in the game has been much appreciated.   I'll say see you later instead of goodbye, because we all want to see you back as soon as you work through things.

     Take care and best wishes until your return,             One-eye   :aok

picked up an excellent mid range laptop for 600 recently brand new. 8gb ram, i3 3.0 ghz processor, UHD Intel graphics, 250gb SSD. Very average hardware nowadays and it runs the game like a dream @ 60 fps with graphics turned up.
.it's only the high end games you need a gaming pc/laptop for. Personally I wouldn't touch any of those with a 10 ft stick so long as AH3 is still alive and well.

Easy peasy.  I had the same operation on both eyes (with the *laser*!).  You're in pain for half a day, foggy for half a day, and then it's a whole new world. 

You'll also see what a lousy monitor you've been using.

Expecting you back soon.

This Community is more then just bad guys in red we all help out when we can ! I feel bad I left the game a few months after my hd died and tried to play but my heart was not into it anymore. I have really not played any war games on the pc since and I stop in here so the players know I am still 6ft topside. You know when your loved from the ways you have helped the game and the players who are Willing to help ya out man. I am just wishing I can help others the way they helped me in the past.

Good luck with your Cataract Surgery

Title: Re: Pulling out
Post by: shppr01 on June 04, 2021, 05:18:33 AM
It looks like I’m not going to win this. So with the greatest respect and humility , I will accept help

  MERv mentioned a laptop that plays the game fine. If we can find one that’ll work, I say okay.
I can find some on Amazon that I think seem good but I’ve no idea what I’m looking for.  A. 600. Or 700 machine is much cheaper than a new desktop.
 
   With all my medical problems along with my wife, all our money goes to bills an trying to stay in a house as all you all know. Between the two of us our bills are in around 1 and a half million that’s a lot for disability at 600 a month. We have never asked family money or set a gofund me. There’s that honor! This is the only reason I say this. I humbly accept any help with this.
I figure this will be the less expensive way. If anyone or all find one, let me know and I will give my shipping addy

 I thought I was done crying when I turned 15 with the exception of when I rode rodeos. But you all have changed that.

Thank you.
Chris
