Eh I played when the OG Mortal Kombat came out all the time at the local pizza place when I was like 9, and I turned out fine. I've only murdered a handful of people so far. It's not like I became a cop or anything like that.

It's not that I can't do these things alone. It's that I'd rather have someone there with me.

Probably because it is, they don't like you, or they don't want the job.

I'm not trying to be mean, but contractors will price it outrageously or say "this will be a big job" because they don't want the job, so you say no.

Ehhh some of this is great advice about sales tactics, but you should definitely get a contractor to come out and look over the place again.

Reason being is if there is something that was missed in your initial inspection that another contractor found, you can go back to the realtor and demand them to be fixed. Especially for new builds.

However you only have a small window for this, because if you wait too long the realtor and or contractors can say it was you and it's not their responsibility.

Also you should always get multiple bids from several contractors. If someone is going to do the job at a really low price, that means that contractor will cut corners, and do more harm than good. If someone is giving you an astronomical price that is completely unreasonable that means the contractor doesn't want the job.

There is also this other "tactic" that construction companies know very well. That is if the company is trying to give you a deal, you as a customer are going to nitpick every little thing. Flip side, if they mark it up the customer will always believe it's the best job that was ever done.

Source: my step father owned a large legit construction company, that I worked for, and my bio father owned a small shady construction company, that I also worked for.

It's not that complicated imo, and I'm not attempting to diminish your experience.

Though, if you played day one, the hate that was given was completely warranted. Especially if you played on old gen consoles, when they said it was compatible.

This is coming from someone that genuinely liked the game, bugs and all.

Not because I'm cynical, or had grand expectations. It was literally because I never played a game that was so buggy in my life, and I've been playing since NES.

I paid for a finished product that wasn't finished. I was lied to.

I can list the bugs and crashes I experienced, but it's well documented.

It wasn't like if No Man's Sky was over promised and it was basically empty. It was if NMS was released it being empty, and crashed every 2 seconds.

Oh 100% I'm replaying it rn. It's a much different game after release.

I got it on Xbox One day one because I bought into the marketing. I'm a sucker for distopian Sci-fi.

I wasn't disappointed with the story, or the gameplay. I was just disappointed with something that felt unfinished. I felt like I was testing the game.

Since then I've bought and played EA games that have felt more flushed out.

Because of Cyberpunk I will never buy a game day one.

After getting Cyberpunk on release, no way will I get this until after all the patches they put down and say they are no longer supporting the game.

The Sci Fi mini series was great! The best adaptation imo. Even as wooden as the acting was.

The Lynch film I really enjoyed , I view more like a "based on a true story" type movie.

The new ones I felt had the best visual representation, and was casted awesome. Thought they nailed the first one (for the most part), but the second one fell off the rails for me though.

The TV is produced well enough, but if it's like any of the Dune adaptations or the books for that matter, it's gonna fall off the rails and make no sense.
