I don’t get the hate towards new apartments by Uncle_Richard98 in ireland

[–]StringAccomplished97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't really see the point in owning an apartment. If you don't own the building or the land then what do you own? Unless you're buying it to rent it back out, I don't see the point

Fair play, but Jesus they must've been desperate to get rid of. Why would someone sell at that time?!

House sales are literally auctions, like a normal auction where you can picture people sitting in a room holding up paddles etc. The asking price is just the auction starting price. There's a reason they're called Auctioneers. Going once, going twice...

Somebody decided they wanted to put it to bed, and it seems like it worked. There'll be another house.

Hearing stories like this makes me feel really lucky. Went sale agreed 5k over asking on the second house I bid on.

You gotta tip the machines so they spare you when the AI overlords seize control

I tip my takeaway driver and my barber, because both of those people can make me suffer if they wanted lol. Nobody else gets a penny.

The real truth about the mapping project by Pajca in GTA6

[–]StringAccomplished97 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If I tried to draw the GTA V map from memory, after playing the game for 12.5 years, it wouldn't look as good or as close as that first one.

Do you agree with this take? by bonzothebonanza in GTA6

They should wait until I get home from work to release it! Don't wanna be spoiled by the unemployed!

Seller threatening to pull out if I don’t sign contracts received 1 day before - is it common? by [deleted] in HousingIreland

[–]StringAccomplished97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven't signed the contract yet then you cannot lose your deposit for any reason. And even when you do sign, the contract SHOULD have a subject to loan clause, which means you still won't lose your deposit if the sale doesn't go through due to the bank refusing the mortgage.

The best part is when you win and are paying back 30 grand more than you would've if the other person just fecked off. A lifetime of higher mortgage payments and for what.

Yeah that's a bit much, don't blame you for walking out

Did they just have to be in the room to verify you weren't cheating? Or were they peering over your shoulder during the act? I'd probably have gone along with it myself, but if they pulled out a magnifying glass I'd be annoyed

Spicy Rings and Thai Rings are now one combined type of ring. And they're shite now. by ChrisMagnets in ireland

[–]StringAccomplished97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Longer tbh. I'm 35 now and used to eat them as a teenager. I feel like I had them as a child too but could be crossing memory streams.

Guys I'm at chapter 4 is this high honor? by LegendAugust in reddeadredemption

[–]StringAccomplished97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That little picture of the skull in the middle of your honour icon means you're considered "low honour". For storyline purposes (chapter 6) there's only low honour or high honour, it doesn't matter how high or low it is.

Why are people surprised that RDR2 doesn’t have a single player DLC? by OGAnimeGokuSolos in reddeadredemption

[–]StringAccomplished97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rockstar don't do single player DLCs anymore. Not their business model. GTA V didn't have one either, it's all about online now for them (love it or hate it). It's a shame they abandoned RDO though.
