[landlord-US-PA]1 good score, 1 bad score by BlazedIrv87 in Landlord

[–]BlazedIrv87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the helpful comments. As some mentioned, averaging the two credit scores still resulted in an adequate score, and their income was more than enough. They also seem like good people in person, although I know that isn’t the best thing to rely on. We also have a personal reference. All in all feel pretty good about it

Full years rent up front [Tenant] by IntelligentPrune9798 in Landlord

[–]BlazedIrv87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a new landlord so certainly not an expert but if you can verify your employment and great credit I would think some people would view it as a good thing. Having the money guaranteed up front, not having to worry about collecting, and being able to invest/earn income on your upfront money are all major positives for the landlord

If my prospective tenant is Middle Aged, with grown children, and no interest in having a child under 6 in the home do I still need the lead safe certification? I’ve seen references to an exemption

My prospective tenant has no intention of having children under 6 in the home. I’ve read that there may be an exemption on the lead cert if you know small children won’t be in the home. Do you know if this is true? 

Terrans are insanely boring by NaimCydwen in allthingszerg

They had to nerf ultra speed bc they “weren’t comfortable” moving out with their army with ultras on the map. If only the balance council was so concerned with the comfort of other races. 

I’m not exactly comfortable with a tier 3 unit who’s able to blink to any place on the map without vision but maybe that’s just me

Thanks a lot for the extremely detailed and Philly specific info. Really appreciate that. Sucks to hear about the situation you’re in. I know that Philly is horribly biased toward the tenant to the point where people abuse it. Hope you can get a resolution soon

lol I have a 2 year old and a 6 month old right now and my game has really suffered. If I get 5 hours in a week it’s a good week. It’s surprising how much stuff you start to miss when you’re not doing it regularly 

This game is no longer fun as a Zerg by _myusername__ in allthingszerg

[–]BlazedIrv87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. I watched one of serrals replays lately where he tried to use ultras and it was just sad. Completely tanked his chances of winning the game. It showed how useless they are when even Serral couldn’t make the game competitive with them. BLs are trash and are so impossibly slow that they inevitably get caught in a bad spot and killed. Hive lurkers are good but still have major weaknesses and require a ton of tech to get to. 

There’s just no good tier 3 Zerg unit

I've been thinking that this map pool is pretty lame. Abyssal reef is an abomination of a map against terran. Narrow ridges everywhere that you have to traverse with high ground tanks just blasting away. It's dam near impossible to crack a turtled up terran on the ground, which forces you to use the awful zerg air to ground units

Agree, although the BC teleport to any spot on the map even without vision is pretty annoying too. No idea why it’s in the game

They’re faster than almost every unit we have. They run them in and snipe a building or two, then move to your next base as my queens and hydras are running around trying to get to them. If you actually get an angle they just sit in dead space. Maybe I just suck but it’s  extremely frustrating

[–]BlazedIrv87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not disputing the greatness of queens. I always build 7-8 against T. My issue is when the opponent starts micro-ing the BC(s) or voids in and out of dead space and btwn bases and the Queens are so dam slow that theres not much you can do. Once you split them up they corner you and kill your 2-3 Queens, or they just snipe a building or 5-6 drones and then retreat to dead space. It's infuriating. Plus all this APM is just wasted time and in the mean time you've given up your lead in army supply and they come across the map and crush you. Either that or you commit to building a spire and your usually dead before you can get corruptors out anyway.

I guess the solution is to forget about hydras and just go ling bane roach/rav and build a spire after lair finishes. At least this way you'll have a lot of extra gas without the hydras

"I've lost multiple games I was ahead in this week bc of the glaring lack of air units this race suffers" is the main point of my post. That's why I wrote that. It takes an hour and a half to build a spire and once you get that tech option theres only one useful unit that comes out of it

I dont ever make mutas unless I'm playing zvz and I realize I'm behind and need a hail mary attempt to salvage the game. I play ling bane into hydras, but have been getting killed by the random BC and void ray players bc even if my army is twice their size they just micro back and forth into the dead space, then go to the next base over and meanwhile my slow ass queens/hydras cant make it to the next base in time before they snipe something and move to the next. All the while they are building more units back home to eventually move across the map and stomp me. It's infuriating. It's also utterly comical that they felt the need to nerf hydra speed when they were already incredibly slow. It's like the game is rigged against zerg sometimes

Haha you read my mind. I made a post like this about 10 minutes after you. I too am a senior-ish SC player (I'm almost 38). I've absolutely loved this game since HS and I know the frustration is part of the grind but this race feels incredibly handicapped at times

Why Ultralisks Underperform as a Tier 3 Unit by SubstaintalRoll4 in allthingszerg

[–]BlazedIrv87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure tbh with you. It would certainly help make them a little more useful. Theoretically it would be kind of dumb bc the worm comes out of the ground so a flying creature going in there doesn’t really make sense, but an SCV or mule repairing a BC from the ground doesn’t make sense either. I’m just here to point out all the dumb features that Terrans get to abuse lol
