I can tell if it's hideously beautiful or gorgeously repulsive

but what I know is that I love it

that's what diapers are for. you don't just go around leaking piss and shit into your clothes

i am now on board with the policy of banning clothes specifically so people like you can be caught instead of just passively stinking places up with plausible deniability

do you like... just not clean yourself? are your clothes all full of ass juice and piss? what the fuck even is ass juice use a bidet holy shit

Washing clothes by hand sucks

it doesn't suck that much, i could see people rotating out this task like any other chore. idk how necessary that would be though, im not sure how energy/water efficient washing machines are

my brain is too smooth for this game. i tried to play it and just kinda hit a wall after like an hour where it's obvious there are like 7 different puzzles im supposed to be following but i just don't know how to get to them.

exploitative, but less so than almost any other option available to most people

It's exactly as exploitative as every other option available in OP's area according to OP himself, as he says he is charging market rate.

you cowards weren't into glados before portal 2?

I just figured it was worth pointing out in case you hadn't seen it—apologies if it came off as passive aggressive or anything.

No worries!

Because they're using part of the place the mortgage pays for

Yes, temporarily. And when the mortgage is paid, OP owns the house forever and can, as always, kick out those who paid the mortgage any time. Or just keep extorting them for personal gain. Either way, they don't get shit.

Otherwise OP could just store stuff in the bedroom, have family stay there, etc.

Exactly why I don't really like the argument that OP "isn't that bad" or is "not like the other landlords" or "isn't gaining anything" or whatever. The reason OP doesn't just store stuff in the bedroom, or have family stay there, or whatever is because OP is exploiting another person for personal gain. He is acting according to his own material interests, leeching another person's hard-earned money to pay for his house. OP even describes the amount of rent he is charging as "market rate." He's literally just another landlord, no different from the perspective of his tenant from any other landlord in the area. (except that he thinks he's a superhero with a secret identity. leech man! lurks in the bathtub and sucks your blood while you're not looking)

I feel like I accidentally fell asleep and now I'm just in some kind of dream where all of hexbear forgot why being a landlord is bad.

as long as you're the cop standing in the background and not the one kneeling on some guy's neck you're cool, you're not the problem, dont worry about it

Well he's definitely not profiting based on his answers elsewhere in the thread.

Keep in mind that OP had posted 0 total comments in the thread last time I wrote a comment.

I think when Hexamerous says "sharing the cost of living" they're also including an at-cost fraction of the mortgage corresponding to the proportion of the unit the tenant is using.

Why should someone else pay your mortgage?

or if the profit is directly covering basic needs that his job isn't enough to cover.

If only his victim were given the same consideration.

Look, I don't give a shit about theft on principle. Steal from corporations if you need to, or if it would make life easier, or just for fun. I don't care about that. But stealing from your fellow worker is unacceptable, especially one that is indisputably worse off than yourself. I bet OP's tenant would love to be in such a position that they could purchase a home and have to worry about things like whether leeching from the working class earns you the wall (it does)

Again if OP is just covering the expenses incurred by the tenant/roommate then whatever, but if there's profit involved then I've got nothing in common with him

I mean if you're not profiting and are literally just covering the extra expenses incurred by having a second person living in your home, first of all why? I mean it's nice and all but I'm just suspicious of acts of charity like that (and certainly wouldn't assume that that is what's happening instead of the much more likely option)

And second, if you are performing that act of charity, why would you feel guilty or wonder if you're getting the wall? If I were doing that I wouldn't consider myself a landlord or feel any guilt for it at all. That's called having a roommate. I guess on paper legally you're still the landlord but it's a different thing ethically.

You could do that, but that isn't rent. I wouldn't criticize OP for charging someone a rough estimate of the cost of their use of utilities or whatever, but how likely is it that that's what is happening?

Kinda surprised by the responses here. I don't really care how many houses you have, the bottom line is that you're extorting money from another person in exchange for their access to a basic necessity. That sucks and there's no way to make it not suck. Get a real job.

Rare outcome, most friend groups would be like "nah dude you're the worst get lost" and then you'd all laugh and chug another beer or whatever it is neurotypical people do when they hang out

There is nothing I want to say that wouldn't be illegal.

When our turn comes...

The assumption is that Sims 5 would be better

I'd call it a hope more than an assumption. We know they can make good sims games because they made 2 and 3, so it sucks to see that they decided to stop making games and just forever-develop the one that was bad.

why make something new when what exists is good and can be built upon?

Sims 4 sucks and last I paid any attention to it it was worse in every single way than sims 3

People want a sims 5 so they can make something that is good and can be built on instead of building on something that isnt good

2016 was full release 1.9, called the "combat update" where food was turned into a fundamental component of the combat rather than just a background chore, shields were added, attack cooldowns were added, and axes were turned into a viable alternative weapon.

It's a very easy game when you know what you're doing, but yeah if you have no items and don't know how to get started making them then the monsters that spawn in dark areas will probably fuck you up lol

They also made the game significantly harder in 2016, pretty much requiring you not only to figure out how to craft items, but also how to get a steady supply of food. Again, still an easy game, just one you need a bit of knowledge to get started in.

Ask your kid to teach you how to make a sword (from the beginning, he might just show you the crafting recipe and that wouldn't be very helpful, you'll wanna know how to gather the materials and make the crafting table too) and farm and cook potatoes or bread and that should pretty much be the baseline required to play the game, at that point it really opens up and you can start exploring and teaching yourself.

(If your kid is really young and doesn't know how to do all that either, then let me know and I'll give you the minimal-spoiler starter tutorial :D)
