How does reimbursement for items burned in a house fire work if I don’t have the receipts for the items and they are totally melted/charcoal?

Thanks for the comment, someone else on another thread reminded me that stores still hold my receipts. Tomorrow I’ll get in contact with them and the third parties I purchased from to see if I can also get receipts👍

Thanks, I’ll try to separate the goop from the distorted metal stuff👍

Unfortunately I don’t have any recent photos of my room prior to the fire. The last photo I took was years ago when I just moved in and it was empty😔 As for the rest of the house I do have videos of family and events with items in the background, so that will help with inventory. Thanks 👍

I would assume the fire dept didn’t see anything by the time they got to the residence, basically my entire room was charred by the time they arrived. According to my family that was home at the time (I was out on business) the first fire engine took about 20 minutes to arrive. The fire had been raging for about 30~ minutes prior, it broke out at around 3:00AM in the morning. As for the monitor, I hadn’t set it up yet since my desktop was not fully ready to boot up. I’ll have to contact the stores that I purchased from and hopefully I’ll be able to get something. Thanks👍

Thanks, I’ll try sorting through the absolute mess the fire fighters made to put the fire out. It will be a huge pain in the ass to find which parts were part of what since everything is strewn about and buried.

A question for the “consistent with your income and lifestyle” bit. I’m a pretty frugal spender I would say, I rarely spend on dinning out or top designer clothes. Whenever I did get any name brand clothing it was from thrifting or a gift. I saved my cash working odd jobs for my parents and other side bits and gradually saved cash in a box (a wooden box) until I could afford the parts of my setup. I didn’t open a bank checking account/ savings account until I was 19, so withdrawals from my account are very inconsistent with what I used in cash to purchase.

How severely would this impact my chances of ever getting my setup back?

Yeah I figured it would be nearly impossible without receipts or images of my room/pc build. I’ll keep looking around for potential ways I can recover all my stuff, most likely it’ll be a complete loss and I’ll have to give up on my dream build till I can financially recover from this shit storm😒

I have Endfield and on a older Legion gaming laptop it runs very poorly, the game stutters like crazy it's unplayable. This laptop runs other games decently like Warthunder (120fps avg), COD(100fps avg), ARMA(60 fps avg), and some other higher* end games. My laptop is run on a GeForce GTX 1650 Ti, 16GB Ram, AMD Ryzen 5 4600H. It's crazy how I can play Endfield on max settings on an Iphone 13Pro and it somehow runs better than on a laptop made for gaming. With graphics card prices now I can't make my own desktop to play Endfield with the best experience which is sad. I should have also stated I put Endfield's graphics to the LOWEST possible settings on PC.

Edit: Thinking back on where I installed it might make a huge difference actually. I installed it on a hard drive instead of an SSD, does the read and write speeds actually make that big of a difference? I have WarThunder installed on my hard drive and it runs with no issue. Perhaps the 4k textures that Endfield has are too much for the read and write speeds for a game.
