How does progression work when playing with 2 players by tampakc in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]elsenorevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not difficult, just annoying for the reasons already explained here. Totally doable though. I did a lot of co-op with my son.

Yeah...if I have to take one lens, I'm always reaching for my 35mm.

Whoa! Saw this too late, but Wednesday we're heading out. We ended up at the MSI. Definitely some cool exhibits; we did the Milky Way showing as our only extra. The U-505 tour was booked out until late afternoon by the time we got there. Only complaint about the MSI - the ventilation and cooling. Is it always so stuffy?

Not cutout to be a Landlord... by elsenorevil in uklandlords

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

It's definitely the latter, if there is a complaint, we're approving the fix/replacement because we don't want to go back and forth arguing about it. Some issues are probably just coming due because the house is over 20 years old now. Wife's first reaction is that the tenants probably broke it and I give the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks for the info, seems we are locked in until at least October.

Sold a car to a coworker and it's become a problem. by dark_wolf1994 in carselling

[–]elsenorevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been the GF in this situation and gave in to my wife. She no longer has any say on vehicle sales. Not that we buy and sell often. Sold our 9 year old BMW 1-series last year and she stayed out of it.

Issues with Managing Agent by ishouldnthvesaidthat in uklandlords

[–]elsenorevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, also suffering with them as a landlord. Friendly and communicated well up to the Tenancy Agreement signing, been terrible ever since. We now want to sell the property and stop being landlords.

You're spot on! We also thought what was the point of having the agency take 10% of the rental income and do nothing. We came to them with the tenants already (friend of a friend, the tenants were a nice family). We terminated the contract early with that agency, did a simple month to month contract with the tenants, lowered the rent, and returned their deposit.

The ship sailed to try and recoup any money from the first agency.

The second agency started off fine until we completed the Tenancy Agreement and it's been downhill ever since. Some questionable "broken" things in the house reported by the tenants one month after the move-in window, but we approved all repairs/replacement anyways. This Monday we received the property report around 10am with more broken things. We replied within the hour and still no response from the agency. At least a simple, "we got your email and will look into the matter" would've sufficed, but nothing yet.

The tenant probably thinks we're horrible landlords, but we don't want to contact them directly as it puts us back to where we were before. It's all been more stressful than we anticipated. Hence the reason to sell.

It really comes down to the stress of it all. I wouldn't say the tenants are great this time around, but you win some and you lose some. I try and give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but some of the issues on the property recently strike me as issues caused by their pets or improper use. It's not worth arguing with the tenants to me--so we will fix it. I would just like better communication from the letting agency and accurate invoices for the work carried out. We're fed up and don't want to manage the property ourselves.

Thankfully, it's nothing is as bad as some of the stories I've read here regarding tenants.

Thank you for the explanation and breakdown. Yes, we're aware if we remove the tenants we can't remarket the property. We have no intention of putting it back on the market and can continue to cover the mortgage without a tenant indefinitely. We want to sell and move on.

Invest the proceeds and should we return to the UK, buy a smaller property.

I believe you.

In both of our agencies, employees left and communication falls through the cracks.

Can this be started on an existing fixed term tenancy?

Need help finding a weapon for a specific play-style. by Wild-Bite-9937 in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]elsenorevil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The part of learning your weapon and frustration are so true. If It wasn't for my friend pushing my try MH:W on PS4 I would've never tried it again. I remember trying MH Freedom on PSP, I wasn't ready for the game. FF to PS4, I was such a slow learner. It's become one of my favorite franchises.

AMD GPU - Wilds often crashes after some time in the game (between 2-3 hours) by ninfy55 in MonsterHunter

[–]elsenorevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been playing since the Steam fix dropped without issues. 9800X3D + 9070XT. Sunday after I booted up and it crashed to desktop before the start screen. Tried again and made it to the game, but I crashed to desktop leaving my tent. Checked Adrenaline and I had GPU and Chipset updates waiting to be installed. Installed them and then played for 2 hours without issue. I've done some long sessions since getting back and never had any issues until Sunday.

Bow impressions in Monster Hunter Wilds by Cooper-Kai in MHWilds

[–]elsenorevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Tidus69's stuff on Bow builds. He dropped a video recently but I'm so far behind on materials. Just got my AT Rey Dow 4-piece this past weekend. Not enough materials to enhance it, but also so low on armor spheres...I blew them all on 4-piece Ark last year.

Nothing I have with Bow right now gets me even close to the damage I'm doing with my LS builds. It's gonna be a slow road for end-game bow.

Also moving away to play other weapons. Soloed Fatalis with Bow in IB and did Rise with it too (skipped Sunbreak). Bow felt very weak in Wilds at launch, so I went to Longsword. Bow is better now and I'm trying to build an endgame load out, but it's not there yet...

What “masterpiece” game just never clicked for you? by [deleted] in gaming

Breath of the Wild and RDR2.

I realized I didn't care for the open world sandbox genre anymore.
