@Guitar Wan't to beat me in chess?

I would, but I'm in the middle of a family dinner with my grandparents.

Ah... ok 👍

I'd rather play you in chess, but I'm not at my computer. I can play tomorrow though!

@Gman2, re-rendered my thing, i'll PM it to you and you can check it out whenever you have a chance

Age of Empires is my family's classic game, everyone has it. Yes it is amazing to anyone who wanted to know.

I love to play my AoE 2. It's a lot of fun.
(Especially with the cheat codes.)
@KoE: Cool! I'll check that out later.

Sounds interesting... what is the basic outline of the game?

@Gman2, personally, I prefer AoE 3, but I like the AoE 2 campaign. (Yes the cheats are the best!)

@GrassFire24, In singleplayer, you start out with a Town Center, and a bunch of wood, food and coin. You have to build up your town and create an army as fast a possible. Building things takes resourses so you have to use settlers to farm things for you. It's a game of strategy and skill. You can have mulitplayer, there are campaigns you can do, you can create custom maps to play on, it's really great. If you want to get a basic idea of how it work, there a many videos on YouTube

@D_R06 Thoinks, I'll try and check into it sometime. If I'm right I've seen a few clips and stuff, and it looks pretty cool.

@Everyone, would anyone here get mad if I 'preached' for a second 😂

no, don't think so

😂 ok, then I'll preach 😆 . I mainly just wanted to remind people to love their families. That sounds random at first, but I'm actually coming from how much time we've been spending on here. Not that I think its wrong, in fact I've been blessed by it in many ways, but the more people spend chatting with friends online, the easier it is to get distant from their own families. I know that probably most of us would agree that, to some extent, we feel more accepted and understood here than at home. In reality however, I think the struggles and misunderstandings are meant to shape us... and the more we run from them the harder life will be. So when you get off the computer, just go and serve your family. It's our duty to love them, even in the times when they seam to be the most unloving people. And I'm not saying they are unloving 😆, but often it can seam that way. I guess I've just seen this happen with people before, I even see it happening to myself in some ways, but don't let online friendships get in the way of truly living life... if that makes sense. I'm not condemning anyone, not at all saying lets stop being friends, but I just felt like say'n it... just because I think y'all are great people, and, well, shrugs I don't know 😂 I just don't want to see anyone end up falling away in some way shape or form. Hopefully that makes sense, and that nothing I said will be misunderstood 😉

You speaketh it, brother! My sister is at college, so I make sure to interact with my family in both ways!
Although, since I don't really have contact with my IRL friends, I'm grateful to get to talk to you guys.

My sister is at college as well... well... one of them is 😂 And likewise, being able to talk with you guys has been amazing 😉 yawns! I need to get in bed... after I finsih up sum othder dings... GOODNIGHT! 😒leep: did that work?

Farewell, Greenflame! talk to you tomorrow!

I one hundred percent agree with you Greenflame.

My family makes sure to have at least one meal together every day. That's not the only family time we have, but we make sure to get that every day.

Good morning

It's officially fall now
