Title: Damn near fell into tears, new player.
Post by: Animl-AW on January 12, 2025, 06:35:54 PM
 I dunno, if it was someone kids flyin their account, or his account. Can't be but maybe 8-12 yrs old, going through all the motions like a pro. Flying B-17s, then B-29. Telling us every move to be informative.

It was so well done, precious and funny to me, damn near had me in hysterical tears. A natural.

lil guy made my day.

I made a post on reddit "Hoggit Fighter Wing" (https://www.reddit.com/r/hoggit/hot/) and asked why people dont play Aces High.

Got a few answers about old age game, a few about "didnt know that was still around!", as well as some saying they would check it out and one saying he would be back in a few days.

The nice thing is it was seen by over 7000 people in less than 24 hours.  :)

Interesting convo, on a cpl levels.

Subs seem to be an issue. Yet, I don't get it. Prolly never will. People blow more than that on nonsense every day. <shrug>.

I watched a old AH3 video today of some guy doin a "review" thing. Evidently was from WT, and quite evidently he had ZERO clue how to fly a plane. Musta been 5 attempts to take off, rolled over and crashed every time,... called the game a POS. There is a completely clueless mentality out there making judgement calls lol.  I should post the video, it's down right funny as sin and disturbing how people chose things. See that's why I stay in my own fence, stupid people make me crazy.

I think 3 of 5 times I read a post or chat someone "is saying is that still going?". Cpl on my vids. SMcGavin posted says he's coming back in a month.

Busting through the word cloud of other sims is kinda rough.

I see different new players every single night now.

We lost 40 regulars during that POS YKW era. THAT psses me off. It was in the design.

Edit: note: talking about 15$ and playiin multi games at the same time.This is what flips it backwards. Its not as much the 15 as it is affording multiple games...IMO

He'd say when he was taking off, bringing bombs, asking what kind of plane we need him to fly,..How many bombs to bring,.lol someone said 20 so he got a B-29...he'd just jump in something and fly away.  There's no learning curve. Quite the character.

And here above I have some 30 yr old who couldn't even take off making a review vid.

Having observed this "kid" several times and interacted with him I think this player is using a voice program myself.  This communities beloved  Akak use to use one when he would shade cheat just to mess with people back in his hay days. If you know you know :aok

There are real elements within this game that are sketchy af still going on to this day.  :x

I'm not buying this blessing post from Animl not buying it at all.

If anyone wants to pick my comment apart go ahead but your wasting your time.

I aimlessly post my pr vid there last week. I uploaded it there. They instantly embed. I’ll post the events vid today if you want to use them.
I can post them to my AHTH page where you can DL them if you want. I just found uploading them easy.

If you want, I'll shadowplay some MNM action. (film viewer doesn't do it justice with missing data - fog, icon ranges, etc.)

You may want to ask some who may have captured some of that WW1 New Years' event.

Or some more intense action on some FT areas on certain maps (like ndisles.)

When I post then I got this

A link that works, but it doesnt put the short on the main page like all those others.

MNM videos would be cool, I could put some of those together in a short. (DMed my address) Ill look into finding some of the WWI stuff.

Damn, sorry, I stumbled through their process too. It was on a whim. So I don't know a whole lot of why they do it certain ways. Kinda weird. I'm not sure I remember where my post is. lol

For some a single account at $15 a month may not be a problem. However, I have 3 kids that I play together with on a regular basis and a wife that will join us in GVs from time to time. In AH3 that would cost $75 a month and $900 a year for enough accounts for us to play together. We can all play together in many other games that offer some level of FTP. Even WoW has FTP for the first 20 levels. My kids aren't going to spend half of their allowance for a sub and I'm not gonna pay $75 a month to play together with my kids a few hours a week. I'm just trying to explain that the sub thing is real for some people as you saw on the comments. People that play AH3 obviously don't have an issue with paying for a sub but for some reason they seem to think everybody is the same as them so they can't understand why others might think differently. Maybe my example might help with that?
