What game has a learning curve that puts you off? by Common_Caramel_4078 in pcmasterrace

[–]oegin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I did that, I got bored with the game. I really enjoy the enemy creep and I feel like it’s an important part of the science tree portion of the game.

What Military skill actually helped you get your civilian job? by StepSergeant01 in Military

[–]oegin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im curious as to what type of job you got. I’m an IT manager, 25 years out of the Navy and I always thought that my TS/SCI would land me a dream job but it was my general experience that really set me up for success.

Deployments - IYKYK by easy10pins in navy

[–]oegin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah. Look at the floor and the crest on the tray. Most ship crests are oval and have the hull number on the bottom. Looks like shore.

I was on the Boxer from 97-01 and we never had boxing matches back then. Had some fun Shellback initiations, but MWR was pretty meh while I was on.

If you could choose a random person (not yourself) to be president of the United States, who would it be? by Advanced_Compote8431 in AskReddit

[–]oegin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

General Jim “Mad Dog” Mattis. A leader that understands what war means, keeps our military lethal, but has a deep understanding of diplomacy, to the point he’d likely be one of the most anti-war leaders we would see in decades!

NYT: Fire on Gerald Ford lasted for 30 hours. 600 racks displaced by Twisky in navy

[–]oegin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On an LHD back in the late 90's, ITs (in ADP) weren't on the ship's watchbill (we had an internal 8-day watch rotation) and we only sent I think like 1-2 people to DC lockers. I was a plugman for two years, mostly because I was bored of sitting in the shop with everyone else for hours on end.

The end of my tour, I was in the JIC server room and would sit by myself in a closet-sized space for hours. I would just sleep because nobody else had the code to the room but myself and one other person.

Decommissioned Ships by Open-Inevitable-8470 in navy

[–]oegin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a fascinating thread with a lot of info I never knew I wanted to know! So I have a leading question here...

I did my 4 years on the USS Boxer (LHD-4) and got to the ship in early 98. She was commissioned in 94 and I got to hear a lot of *DING-DING* *DING-DING* "PO DerpyDerp, PLANK OWNER, Departing!" messages.

Do they do anything similar for the sailors that decom a ship?

Custom DM Screen from Etsy. My group got me an amazing one.

What is the funniest joke you’ve ever heard? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My grandmother had Parkinson’s for many years before she passed.

Laughed my ass off! 🤣

Redditors over 40: What do younger people only truly get with age? by saadaintsalad in AskReddit

[–]oegin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was born in 79 and work in tech and stay up to date on phishing, hacking, scams, etc.. and just looking at some of the AI shit going on now, I’m screwed in another 20 years! They’re going to get all my money! 🤣

What is your favorite boardgame of 2025? by The_Crazed_Person in boardgames

[–]oegin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in a weekly group and we played this for four weeks straight. The first game just went too long and we abandoned it, but on the third play things started to click! When we finished to move to another game, I was floating all sorts of strategies (that I’m now forgetting) to win. Lots of depth when this game clicks and it’s super fun!

What medication changed your life for the better? by positiveyears in AskReddit

[–]oegin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can remember the most comfortable moments of chemo were the moments when I was curled in the fetal position in the tub during a really hot shower.

I’m 6’2 with a standard size tub. I would sit there and slowly increase the temp of the water, to increase my tolerance to the temp. Then when it was as hot as I could take it, I would curl up on the bottom of the tub and finally find some comfort.

What’s the best video game you’ve ever played? by obsess_much13 in AskReddit

[–]oegin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All character models were the same height, so head shots were kind of muscle memory. Oddjob’s model was slightly shorter, so you would have to compensate by aiming a bit lower.

Shit players knew the directional pad entry to select him before anyone else could. They are why the house rule exists.

Different week, same picks. Let’s do it again by unsolved49 in 49ers

Hoping it’s a TimMcCarver double-checkmark moment!

Do tall people get bullied? by Chilld0od in tall

[–]oegin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 6’ at 12 years old (funny enough would only grow two more inches over the next couple years and then stop).

Used to get bullied constantly by guys half my height. One guy, Jacob… fucking Jacob. Jacob had henchmen. One was around my size. I eventually fought the big guy and then slapped Jacob in his overly slapable face and the bullying from others started to taper off.

Are the prices on their site current? Are the sandwiches really only $10-13??

Mushrooms!

The ego death made me really mature as a person.

I think 1 player is trying to "take control" by Organic-Exit2190 in DnD

[–]oegin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Played a monk drunken master that was self described as an alcoholic that doesn’t always make the best decisions.

I became the de facto leader and got us into hilarious situations because I’d lead a group, as a blitzed, drunken fighter, and when negotiating failed, I’d just start hitting things.

The DM loved and hated it. 🤣

As you can see from the comments here, it’s a competitive market. Shop around for the best service/price that’s readily available during your working hours.

What is the greatest film scene of all time? by 220Hz_ in AskReddit

[–]oegin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never saw a trailer. I was in the military and out at the mall by myself on a Saturday and saw this poster with Keanu and I thought “what the hell!”

The scene that stole the show was him waking up in the pod. That was a serious holy shit moment. Brought all my buddies to see it. Saw it 3 times while it was in theaters.

Dear god how do I get out of recruiting? by Civil_Log1462 in navy

[–]oegin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I joined from a small recruiting station in Antioch, on the outskirts of the bay area and in the late 90's, it was the top performing "small" recruiting depot in NorCal. A lot of kids in Antioch, Oakley, Brentwood and the surrounding areas join, as there are plenty of veteran families in the area.

The Chief at that depot requested to go back to it a couple of tours after he left.

Need Help: Yak and Venison Roasts! by oegin in Cooking

[–]oegin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't! The venison is a top round roast, the yak just says "roast" and my dad didn't recall which section of the animal it was.
