Oh man, this was me trying to defeat Detleff in the final boss fight of Witcher 3’s Blood & Wine DLC.
I have no idea what I’m going to do when I get to that fight in my Death March playthrough…
“I call them how I see them.”
“I’m just brutally honest.”
“I’m just telling it like it is.”
These phrases are used exclusively by rude, obnoxious, condescending assholes trying to justify being shitty to other people for no reason.
Alright, I was probably going to play it anyway even with dips down to the low 20s. But if we’re not even at the full release yet and the modding scene is already squeezing more out of that bottom 1%, I’m just biting the bullet and buying the damned game.
For anyone in the same boat, Fanatical is selling the pre-release versions of the game for 17% off, packaged with a random “highly rated” Steam game. My freebie was Reventure, which is regularly $8.99 CAD.
You think I’m under the impression that people buying homes today as rental investments are the problem? The problem isn’t people trying to buy into the scam today, it’s the people who bought into it 10, 15, 20 or more years ago, have owned multiple homes for years, make their living off the work and money of others, and go about their lives thinking they’re good people as if they’re anything more than parasites in need of excision.
But if you’re going to start name-calling and denigrating anyone who disagrees with you as “dumb as shit”, I question whether you’re approaching the topic in good faith. I’m not going to engage with you further.
When you sell that house, what percentage of the sale will you be offering to your tenant? Their income has been helping to build your equity, and mitigating your financial burdens after all.
Being “one of the good ones” only counts for so much when the very nature of what you’re doing is exploitive.
