[stuck copper]

uh

i need one

[clear gate]

A surprising amount of people actually need 1 TB or more

[stuck copper]

if you;re talking about cloud storage

thats not really an option here

[dapper geode]

I mean I got one but I still have like, half the space left on it free lmao

[stuck copper]

internet in za is shitty

[steep scarab]

Oh i just noticed this

character stories have a chibi bg

[stuck copper]

i need like 3 tb for my anime

[steep scarab]

based on who the character story is for

[dapper geode]

Nice

[stuck copper]

cutee

helps you keep track

functional too!

[steep scarab]

[clear gate]

Having a lot of storage is good for backups and storing a lot of games

You know how fat PC games are these days

[dapper geode]

True

[stuck copper]

Holy shit guys

Almost 1500 gems

[dapper geode]

Im sorry what

[stuck copper]

People really want those gems

yeah pc games are greedy for storage

[dapper geode]

Oh.

[stuck copper]

interesting

[dapper geode]

I dont like a lot of new games nowadays

They're usually very pretty imo but

either the gameplay or story is shit

[stuck copper]

the maintenance got extended as soon as my wifi router ran into problem

[dapper geode]

and some are even loaded with bugs

[clear gate]

A very significant part of the fatness is just assets

[steep scarab]

[stuck copper]

Btw Poot

ok sure you may not need 1tb of storage but thats you not most other people

[clear gate]

Higher quality textures, music, etc.

[stuck copper]

Sadness since

[steep scarab]

wat?

[stuck copper]

I probably won't be able to get all daily comms done today

[clear gate]

Aw

[wintry sonnet]

oh, yea

[stuck copper]

Timezone fucks me badly

6:27pm

[wintry sonnet]

we're loosing out on commissions today

[stuck copper]

So rip my comms

[wintry sonnet]

actually

...

fuck

[sour crescent]

My Research ended 9 hours ago

[clear gate]

Well at least we get some compensation

[wintry sonnet]

I'm gonna lose out on 5 pvps

if the maint keeps up for 2 more hours

[dapper geode]

Please update the merit shop

[clear gate]

Good thing I don't care about my PvP rank

[stuck copper]

I haven't even been running mine for a while

[stuck copper]

good think i dont give 2 hoots abt pvp either

[dapper geode]

I'm really liking the new UI

[sour crescent]

SAME

Heck PvP

[stuck copper]

Ayanamie

[sour crescent]

Too lazy

[stuck copper]

I just wanted my daily comms

[sour crescent]

I respect the Erebus oath

[steep scarab]

@stuck copper да?

[stuck copper]

I oathed both

[dapper geode]

PVP would be worth it imo if the merit shop wasnt more or less the same stuff all the time

Like.

[stuck copper]

Erebus and Terror

i just get jealous of all the other commanders with better docks

[wintry sonnet]

I'm always in need of bulins so PVP's a big help

[stuck copper]

id rather not see

Expand your dock

And flex on people

their ssr full oathed fleets

[wintry sonnet]

even tho its ass

[stuck copper]

in pvp

With it's massive size

[clear gate]

I only do PvP for free EXP and occasionally a gold bulin

[desert harness]

look

peachy

all dock sizes are good

[clear gate]

PvP is the closest thing I have to a free stress test for my fleet comps

[dapper geode]

Thats how I do PVP tbh

[sour crescent]

Yuno

Stop

I know where this is going

[stuck copper]

Don't confuse Peachy

[sour crescent]

[stuck copper]

[desert harness]

as long as u can use your fleet well it doesnt matter how big your dock is

[sour crescent]

Gdi

I fucking knew it

[desert harness]

[sour crescent]

[steep scarab]

inb4 goes wrong and warns given

[stuck copper]

Dock size is all about getting it as big as possible

And flexing on people

[wintry sonnet]

gem reaction under the latest post is over 1,4k btw

[desert harness]

this is true

[stuck copper]

i get jealous of their nice fleeeets not their dock sixze

[dapper geode]

Bully lower levelled accounts, get a decent amount of exp, repeat as long as the game doesnt throw fully oathed, lv 110 Akaga PVP fleets

[stuck copper]

[desert harness]

well yu can get a nice fleet too

[stuck copper]

you cant see dock size in pvp anyway

[desert harness]

it just takes practice

and time

[stuck copper]

yeah sotha lmao

its just annoying

[cosmic pier]

if you warn for dock jokes it means your dock is pretty smol

like 150

[desert harness]

150 dock size

[stuck copper]

and like

[desert harness]

yikes

[sour crescent]

I was on 150 until 3 weeks ago

[dapper geode]

How could you still have 150 dock size

[stuck copper]

you dont get anytthing from pvp worth the bother

[clear gate]

150 is not enough

[sour crescent]

[dapper geode]

[desert harness]

i havent had 150 for uh

a long time

[clear gate]

Time to compare dock sizes

[sour crescent]

I only expanded because I had the extra gems

[stuck copper]

he has 150 dock size so he can bring attention to it

[clear gate]

I have 310

[stuck copper]

Mine is twice that big

[ornate mantle]

I have 350

[desert harness]

i have 300 rn

[stuck copper]

[sour crescent]

200 now

[dapper geode]

260 or 280, cant remember

[stuck copper]

i have 290 :>

[desert harness]

after these event imma have to get more

[stuck copper]

the nicest thing

[ornate mantle]

I’ll have 900 by the end of today.

[desert harness]

@stuck copper

[stuck copper]

is that the price doesnt go up

to buy moree

[dapper geode]

Whats the max dock size?

[stuck copper]

bless these devs

[ornate mantle]

2k

[stuck copper]

Max 2k from what we know

[ornate mantle]

Not kidding

[stuck copper]

LOL

[dapper geode]

Neat.

[stuck copper]

No we're definitely not

[desert harness]

2k max

[clear gate]

2 thousand

[stuck copper]

Remember

jesus christ thats a lot

Dupes

[dapper geode]

Not gonna reach that anytime soon lmao

[stuck copper]

Bulins

Many things add to this

[steep scarab]

it could be an old ui limitation

probably

[stuck copper]

All PR botes too

[desert harness]

how much gems would that cost

[sour crescent]

Enough

[stuck copper]

Literally cannot be removed either

[desert harness]

100 dock is the start right?

[sour crescent]

150

[stuck copper]

iots 200x10x200

[clear gate]

150 is the stock dock

[stuck copper]

150 is start isn't it

150

[dapper geode]

I always have about 5 Bulins, 5 Purins and 3 Sandy dupes

[stuck copper]

sandy

[sour crescent]

YO imagine having 2k Dock spaces and filling them all with SANDY

[desert harness]

37,500 gems to max out your docc

[sour crescent]

[stuck copper]

gotta save them for the kai because shes pretty rare

[sour crescent]

Now that is a party

[cosmic pier]

i always had 0 bulins, 0 purins and 0 sandy dupes

[stuck copper]

Izu

I bet someone has done it

[cosmic pier]

[stuck copper]

Do not underestimate people

[sour crescent]

In all honesty Its only MY ENTIRE SALARY in gems

So I can do it at month end

[stuck copper]

To whale for dock space

[sour crescent]

A month

[stuck copper]

i feel u izumo

[desert harness]

ill donate something to u

have uyhhh

$3

[sour crescent]

I live in the 3rd world and work for Min wage

[stuck copper]

Ask for a raise

And when they ask why

@last kiln oy za is low income u cant use same measuring stick

[sour crescent]

Asking for a raise gets people fired here

[stuck copper]

Say you need to make your dock much bigger to be the biggest of them all

[cosmic pier]

ask for a raise and then watch em reduce it

[desert harness]

^ razzles

[cosmic pier]

[steep scarab]

Pvp screen

[desert harness]

shiny

wonder if the update is downloadable yet

[stuck copper]

Considering it just got extended

[steep scarab]

there's the predownload but ppl having le problemos

[stuck copper]

I'd like to say nah

[cosmic pier]

its ok your 500 a month is way higher than my like 10-15 a month

[desert harness]

nope

still 🅱roke

[sour crescent]

Peachy understands since they are also South African, our legal min monthly salary is like half the NA min wage average

[stuck copper]

I'm british btw

[desert harness]

yea its low

[cosmic pier]

500 is high

[stuck copper]

im low key impressed how you all knew how much 37000 gems cost off the top of your head

i dont

That's because

We've calculated every possible outcome

[sour crescent]

37000 Gems is roughly R4500 here

[stuck copper]

For the sake of waifu maxing

[sour crescent]

Give or take

[stuck copper]

damn

[sour crescent]

Depends on exchange rate

[stuck copper]

i can buy lots of other things with that much money

[clear gate]

500 Rand is about $35

in USD

[stuck copper]

[sour crescent]

Yea roughly

[clear gate]

It's a little less

[stuck copper]

its like R15 to $

[sour crescent]

However the in game prices don't include VAT

So we get shafted

[stuck copper]

Not gonna lie but

If I had a ton of money

I'd 100% max dock space

vat

[cosmic pier]

wat

[stuck copper]

15% extra on literally everything lets go

To flex that 2k slots

nice flex

[frail mulch]

https://i.imgur.com/vO8Yzlx.png

[sour crescent]

VAT is value added tax, like Peachy said, its literally 15% tax on EVERYTHING

[cosmic pier]

doubt

[stuck copper]

i remember when they didnt have vat on online purchases

twitch subs were so affordable..

1542 gems in reacts

Lol

[sour crescent]

"A value-added tax (VAT) is a consumption tax placed on a product whenever value is added at each stage of the supply chain, from production to the point of sale. The amount of VAT that the user pays is on the cost of the product, less any of the costs of materials used in the product that have already been taxed."

[stuck copper]

we have more tax on luxury goods, but less on essentials, like food

so divide that amount of gems between total android players

Also

[dapper geode]

Oof.

[cosmic pier]

pffft

[stuck copper]

Just gonna point out

But 2k slots

Is actually

[cosmic pier]

5$ aint anything for you

[clear gate]

not that much

[stuck copper]

Much more than $500

[sour crescent]

https://gyazo.com/611ca5bff29dc96090c386aedd588097

[stuck copper]

Like a landslide more

[desert harness]

37,500 gems is a lot

[stuck copper]

there is some vat free items

That's incorrect yuno

[desert harness]

4900+600 per 80

[stuck copper]

like bread and milk and stuff

[sour crescent]

Yea, basic necessity

[desert harness]

I think its +600

i cant rember

[stuck copper]

It's 370,000 gems

but thats pretty much the only main tax here ithink

[sour crescent]

Like mielie pap etc

[desert harness]

wait rlly

fuck

[wintry sonnet]

progress is being made guys

[stuck copper]

melie is so fukcing hard to spell wtf

[wintry sonnet]

now it's stuck at 26 instead of 11

[sour crescent]

We have VAT, Income Tax and Luxury Tax on Booze

[wintry sonnet]

we might get all the way to 1300+ by the end of the week

[sour crescent]

Those are the main 3

[desert harness]

wait

[stuck copper]

we need like

[desert harness]

im still getting

[stuck copper]

50% tax on booze

[desert harness]

37000

[sour crescent]

Stop drunk drivers

K thx

[stuck copper]

alcohol is fucking evil

[desert harness]

how do u get 370000

[stuck copper]

A lot of money

[frail mulch]

⚙ Result

[stuck copper]

+75% on tobacco over here

[desert harness]

200*(2000-150)/10 = 37k

[stuck copper]

.calc 14.38x400

.calc 14.38*500

[frail mulch]

[stuck copper]

Then we're just all sat here for no reason lol

.calc 7190+15%

[desert harness]

oh its 7400

[stuck copper]

ah you know

Wait btw

[desert harness]

ewally

really

[stuck copper]

How many slots does equip go to?

2k as well?

[sour crescent]

R8268

That is how much it costs

[stuck copper]

good lord

[sour crescent]

Yea

[stuck copper]

I'm curious how much it'd cost to whale

[sour crescent]

Nope

[stuck copper]

Every slot expansion

To max

[sour crescent]

This is why I never expand dock

[stuck copper]

For everything

[sour crescent]

I'd rather oath

[stuck copper]

thats uh,
i could just about afford that with my monthly

[cosmic pier]

izu want me to flex how high it goes for me

[clear gate]

R8268 = USD 574.95

[stuck copper]

90k is max food?

but i dont think i ever will

Oh cool

[desert harness]

gem react is up to 1600

[sour crescent]

The 8268 includes VAT

[stuck copper]

I should just max that out at some point then

what im most interested in tho

[desert harness]

wait 90k is max food

nice

thats pretty good

[stuck copper]

how much to buy out the skin shop

I actually thought it'd go higher

I assume equip slots

not including limited ones for starters

[clear gate]

90K is not as high as I expected either

[stuck copper]

Is about the same as dock right?

[desert harness]

90k is almost 24 hours of food

so it makes sense

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/136712730722697216/555971322098745354/unknown.png

[sour crescent]

I should really ask to get clued up on Taxes and submitting Annual Returns to SARS so I can do more work and get paid more

[cosmic pier]

your daily flex bout how great my currency is

[desert harness]

i shouldve made this up to 90k but i didnt know the limit

[sour crescent]

[stuck copper]

[cosmic pier]

but that's like the amount I'd pay in my currency for 400$

[stuck copper]

u from zimbabwe or some shit

[cosmic pier]

cheap right

[clear gate]

What currency is that

[cosmic pier]

IRR

[desert harness]

[stuck copper]

is that

[cosmic pier]

iran's shitty currency

[stuck copper]

middle east?

millionaire rei confirmed

[clear gate]

Oh, Iran

[stuck copper]

millionare pog

[clear gate]

Hecking Iranian currency

[cosmic pier]

yno 1 million here aint worth even 100$ rite

[sour crescent]

Did you know 300 Trillion Zim dollars is like $1

[stuck copper]

well now
knowing you;'re from iran makes you seem a lot less irritating now

[cosmic pier]

kek

[stuck copper]

t-trillion

[desert harness]

[sour crescent]

The president was like "We have no money, print more"

[desert harness]

true

[cosmic pier]

"this kid has been suffering too much prob thats why he's such edgy" ~peachy's mind rn

[sour crescent]

Not realising he flooded the market

[clear gate]

Zimbabwe junked their old currency a while ago I think because it was so bad

[cosmic pier]

[sour crescent]

and killed the economy

He literally Iced his country

Like

[stuck copper]

no more like he has a harder time than me, lets not make it worse

[sour crescent]

Yea

[clear gate]

Yeah the Zimbabwe dollar was demonetized in 2015

because it was so bad

[cosmic pier]

100 bucks is sth like 13mil IRR easily

[dapper geode]

I went afk for 5 minutes

[cosmic pier]

[dapper geode]

whats going on now?

[clear gate]

We're comparing currencies

[stuck copper]

its just now there is an explanation for your edge, and i understand you

[dapper geode]

Oh

[cosmic pier]

we're talking bout my awesome country currency

[sour crescent]

Peachy which province you from ? The fact you have a hard time spelling Meilie means it and OFS

[dapper geode]

British Pounds getting lower

[sour crescent]

So a USD

[dapper geode]

Might bounce back

[stuck copper]

from WC but moved to EC

What's this about pound

not afrikaans

[clear gate]

It doesn't actually mean that the guy lives in the US since some other countries use the USD or are pegged to it

[sour crescent]

Yea, I'm a Joburger

[clear gate]

Ecuador uses USD for example

[stuck copper]

parents were cape flats mom + UK dad

so i speking english

[sour crescent]

Sounds like Trevor Noah's origin story

That's sick though, my dad's full Welsh and mom was from somewhere in Joburg

[stuck copper]

full welsh pogU

[dapper geode]

Wales is nice

[sour crescent]

Yea I went there a few years back, really nice people

[dapper geode]

Beautiful countryside

[sour crescent]

I was the only person in my tour group that could understand the accent

[stuck copper]

You're welsh peachy

[clear gate]

Anyway yeah it was something like 300 trillion Zimbabwe dollars per USD in 2009

[cosmic pier]

whalesh

[clear gate]

according to the Great Wiki

[stuck copper]

im not welsh

[dapper geode]

How the fuck do you achieve that???

[stuck copper]

Lol

[clear gate]

By printing more money until your currency becomes worthless

[sour crescent]

^

[clear gate]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dapper geode]

Rip.

[sour crescent]

Literally that

[stuck copper]

The thing about currency

you print money when you run out of money

Is it only has worth

Because people attach a value to it

Remove that value

because you are too stupid to realise that it doesnt actually make more money

And it's nothing more than a piece of paper

[sour crescent]

Exactly, bring back bartering

[wintry sonnet]

I still maintain welsh isn't a language, it's just the effect you get when someone bashes his head against a keyboard to make random words

[sour crescent]

K thx

[wintry sonnet]

[stuck copper]

foot oaths

[sour crescent]

That's the origin of the "Gold Standard" banks would issue receipts for gold you deposited and you would use the receipt to buy things

[stuck copper]

Almost 1 hour peaps

I wonder how long this maint is gonna last

[sour crescent]

Basically applying a value to paper

[stuck copper]

Are we gonna perhaps

Hit a 24 hour maint?

[sour crescent]

x

[stuck copper]

as long as it must i guess

oh god the poor devs

imagine 24h maintenance

[clear gate]

Man if we actually run for that long that would be awful

[stuck copper]

I mean

It's already almost 12 hours

1 more hour and it's half a day

Poor guys

[pearl abyss]

also its 2am for the devs too

[stuck copper]

i wanna send them cookies

Yeah ikr

[pearl abyss]

you guys are nice

[stuck copper]

These guys are real troopers

Being up for this long

You can imagine that they're probably pulling their hair out right now

[stuck copper]

To help us out

What a bunch of real workers

everyone buy gems when you log on

I already plan to

im gonna get akashi skin

first thing

[clear gate]

No software developer likes working overtime to fix launch bugs

[stuck copper]

Akashi btw I think is event gotten

And I think that might be on 23rd

[sour crescent]

Fish

[stuck copper]

oh is it on event

Yeah

Bismarck I think

The reason this update is coming out so early

iv all but run out of spending money for this month

Is probably

To give it a few days

To get the kinks out of it

yeah

So that it doesn't die when bisko comes out

Because look how bad it is right now

Now imagine

[sour crescent]

I'm sitting with enough money for some food and 1 tank of petrol right now

[stuck copper]

If this was released

[sour crescent]

[stuck copper]

During bisko event

<

end of month blues

The servers would be literally dead

[sour crescent]

Literally

[clear gate]

Well I'mma go eat something

[sour crescent]

I should really start saving

[desert harness]

beat the kinks out of the update

[stuck copper]

too much month at the end of your money

[desert harness]

[stuck copper]

[sour crescent]

[stuck copper]

saving is so hard when you only earn just enough

[sour crescent]

I KNOW

[stuck copper]

[glad marsh]

Well.

[stuck copper]

[glad marsh]

Can't do nothing about it.

[sour crescent]

I could move out but then I would have no internet and barely any food

Considering I pay medical aid and petrol on my own

I have like no money left after my monthly provisioning

[glad marsh]

You guys are so young yet full of daily hardships.

[verbal obsidian]

welcome to adulting

[stuck copper]

I think the issue Summer

Is that

it gets easier when you're in a relationship

The state of the economy

Has gone downhill massively

it is still failed to download file eh

less rent, etc

[glad marsh]

Where specifically?

[stuck copper]

Prices go up

[sour crescent]

I started working last year, so far I love having an income but I hate seeing my money go away on things that I NEED

[desert harness]

💨 weeeeeee adulting

[stuck copper]

Income does not

yea it does get easier with 2 people

Like

When you raise the prices of homes

But don't raise income

You start getting to a point

Where income doesn't cover things you need

[sour crescent]

^

[stuck copper]

@sour crescent it took me quite a few years to get a decent income as well, ganbatte

[verbal obsidian]

@desert harness stop it youre 15

[stuck copper]

A good example would be here

Like

Back in the day

[desert harness]

[stuck copper]

You could buy a house for like

[desert harness]

i am an AdULt

[stuck copper]

5-10 grand

Now

[desert harness]

[stuck copper]

It would cost about 200-300 grand

[desert harness]

just time travel amd buy a house in the past

[sour crescent]

I mean I am working as a trainee accountant so once I have gotten my qualifications I get the big bucks

which is nice

[verbal obsidian]

200-300 grand

damn where do u live

[stuck copper]

That's the difference in inflation

my family has a farm so u could proBably build my own goddamn house

[verbal obsidian]

anything near nyc aint letting u touch anything for 200-300grand

[stuck copper]

but thats not cheap either

[glad marsh]

I'm a noob in economy.

[stuck copper]

Btw I'm british so like

It's pounds

[sour crescent]

I mean just use cheap local labour and mud

[desert harness]

living in NY
theres your first mistake

[stuck copper]

Which is worth more than dollars

[sour crow]

guys who is your favorite player in Avrora?

[stuck copper]

Just an fyi

but i need a fancy house for my white pride

[dapper geode]

Waaait

[sour crescent]

[desert harness]

zazie is my favorite

[glad marsh]

Haven't really thought about the expenses.

[stuck copper]

omg

[sour crescent]

I want to get my qualification and from there I don't know where to go since all I need to work as an accountant anywhere in the world is a course on the Tax of the country

[stuck copper]

me in jpaan when

summer.,.

See what I mean

still haven't got myself a new job

When I said

[sour crow]

Who is Zazie?

[stuck copper]

its not even a very nice looking house

It's expensive to buy a house here

I really meant it

[verbal obsidian]

ye whos zazie

[stuck copper]

It's semi detached too

@Zazie#9511

[verbal obsidian]

[stuck copper]

So it's not even like a full house

It's basically a house attached to another

[glad marsh]

HOLY

[desert harness]

who the frick zazie is

[stuck copper]

Like when I said

Inflation is bad

I really meant

It's fucking bad

And keep in mind

This is pound

@glad marsh whats it like in japan

Which is worth more than dollar

[sour crow]

my favorite is imnotleo

[stuck copper]

was it as good as you expected it to be

[sour crow]

he's one of the best AL players

[glad marsh]

Hmm.

It's pretty comfortable in terms of transportation and installations

[stuck copper]

"343518.01" < this is how much it'd be in dollars

At current exchange rate

[glad marsh]

But food is pretty expensive compared to where I used to live.

[sour crescent]

Check the Rand value

But if you're interested in visiting touristic places

It's pretty good for walks as well.

[stuck copper]

There's a reason most people stay with their parents till like

30-40's

[dapper geode]

Doesnt help that when they make new housing/flats they all make the rent/price ridiculously high

[stuck copper]

[glad marsh]

That doesn't save you here

[dapper geode]

I'm hoping to go to Sheffield for Uni and just spend a year in accommodation and live with my parents after that in Sheffield.

[stuck copper]

[sour crescent]

Like atm I was speaking to one of my bosses the other day and he needs an Audit team to travel the world and Audit clients

And I was one of the people he mentioned to do it

[stuck copper]

mmm

gl

[desert harness]

doit

that wouold be sweeet

[dapper geode]

Up North the houses are generally cheaper but finding a career up there is hard

[sour crescent]

You know the machines that process money in banks

[stuck copper]

i need to get myself a god tier laptop

How much you wanna bet the price of it?

[sour crescent]

Dude I don't know. I'm just like from work

[desert harness]

750 for one room??

[stuck copper]

[desert harness]

riiip is oka

[ornate mantle]

A studio for 760 ain’t bad

[dapper geode]

If that was down south, that'd be closer to the 1k mark, seriously

[desert harness]

heck work

but i need momneys

[stuck copper]

[desert harness]

[stuck copper]

global economy dying

[sour crescent]

Also you need to remember timezones suck

[desert harness]

that is true

[sour crescent]

So you'll be awake and I am asleep

[desert harness]

but also im on at ridiculous hours on friday and saturday night

[sour crescent]

I have that issue with one of my best friends

[desert harness]

last saturday I was up till 7am

[sour crescent]

She lives in Ohio and I am in South Africa

So yea

[clear gate]

Yeah, pre-download's working

[sour crescent]

Works until 2 am her time and has classes during the day

We rarely talk

[desert harness]

the last hour was talking with a few peeps and this dude went through 3 different erp avatars in the hour

it was great

omfg this screen

sO

CUTE

[sour crescent]

I remember the one time I got on VRC with Ghilo was a riot

We just went around trolling people as the Inquisiton from Warhammer

[desert harness]

when we were all inthe catgirl cafe that was good

omfg

[dapper geode]

One of my family friends got lucky in London @stuck copper He started renting a room in a shared flat in Vauxhall in a block.
Over time he bought his own room to himself, then the entire flat right?
Moved out, had other people rent those rooms, then moved on to buying out and having people rent some houses in London.

[stuck copper]

Yeah

[dapper geode]

This mofo

Is lucky

[stuck copper]

Basically the best option

[dapper geode]

as hell

[stuck copper]

Is to get a house you can rent

And earn money off people

[dapper geode]

it took him about a decade though

[stuck copper]

Because that shit is ridiculous

[sour crescent]

Yep

[stuck copper]

How much you can earn

[sour crescent]

Its free income

[dapper geode]

No for real, being a landlord is ludicrous money

[sour crescent]

Literally on top of your current income

[stuck copper]

Especially here

You don't need to Izu

Here

You can live of this shit

Because rent is that high

[dapper geode]

Generally you'd want to rent from a landlord with an agency or whatnot

[stuck copper]

You can literally charge through the nose

You get a few tenants

[dapper geode]

Independent/Rogue landlords charge whatever the fuck for anything

[stuck copper]

And you get plenty of dosh

[dapper geode]

even amp up the rent whenever they feel like it

[sour crescent]

@desert harness I can try to be on VRC this weekend depending on how knackered I am since I am finalising an audit this week

[stuck copper]

Just for reference

[desert harness]

let me kno

if ur not up for it thats fine too

but if u do get on imma pat you

[stuck copper]

If you get 600 per month

And have 2 tenants

[sour crescent]

Imma smack you

[stuck copper]

You're already making minimum wage

No joke

[desert harness]

try me

imma smack u first

smack ur head

[stuck copper]

At just 600 per month

[desert harness]

[stuck copper]

You're already making enough

For it to be a full time job

[desert harness]

600 per month isnt just for u though

[stuck copper]

Add in more than that

[sour crescent]

That's rubbing Learn the definitions of your verbs

[stuck copper]

And you just get even more

[desert harness]

if ur a landlord u gotta take care of the property

[sour crescent]

🅱I T C H

[desert harness]

pay insurance n shit

[stuck copper]

That's easy as fuck though

Compared to like

[desert harness]

its more work than u think

[stuck copper]

Actually dealing with a boss

[desert harness]

i mean true

[stuck copper]

In a job you hate

[desert harness]

its easier than that

[stuck copper]

Especially since

You are the boss basically

[sour crescent]

Just have a good boss

[stuck copper]

You get more than 2 people

[sour crescent]

[eternal goblet]

I'm alive

[past oasis]

@ornate mantle

[stuck copper]

And you get tons of money

[eternal goblet]

IDK why

[clear gate]

Sounds like you should be dead then. Go back to the grave, zombie.

[dapper geode]

I've told my family to eventually start doing landlord stuff

[stuck copper]

And that's only if you charge 600

If you charge more than that

[dapper geode]

Once we get a property/properties in Sheffield.

[eternal goblet]

I'm in need of sleep

[stuck copper]

You instantly turn a profit real quick

[clear gate]

Go back to the grave.

[stuck copper]

And then you buy another house

[eternal goblet]

yeets off

[stuck copper]

Then get more tenants

So on and so forth

Before long you have a ton of money

[stuck copper]

Oh yay

Pre download works

[verbal obsidian]

a big problem in nyc right now is that people are buying apartments and secretly hosting air bnbs

[sour crescent]

MY ALBDEO PILLOW IS ARRIVING SOON™

[verbal obsidian]

no its not

i already stole it from your mailbox

[sour crescent]

Jokes on you

I don't have a mailbox

[dapper geode]

One thing I wouldnt suggest owning

Is a Pub

[stuck copper]

Oh definitely not

[sour crescent]

Pubs are a super risky investment

[stuck copper]

That's more hassle than it's worth

[dapper geode]

You will likely not turn a profit at all

[stuck copper]

Not to mention

[dapper geode]

Drunks

And damages

[stuck copper]

Having to deal with the fights that break out too

[sour crescent]

Alot of the people I know that own pubs do it for the love of their community etc

[stuck copper]

Yeah

[dapper geode]

Exactly

[stuck copper]

It's bad

[dapper geode]

Pubs should stay like a family business imo

Too risky for new people to start up unless theres like...a place where there isnt one

but then again

[stuck copper]

Even then it's risky

[dapper geode]

There's usually a pub

[carmine coyote]

Then there are the microbreweries

[dapper geode]

like how theres a McDs anywhere in the US

[stuck copper]

I wonder

If the owner of Maccy D's

Is in the Bahamas or something

[sour crescent]

I have like 5 McD's within like 4 KM of where I work

[stuck copper]

Just relaxing with the amount of money they have

I mean people shit talk maccy d's

But I bet the owner has enough money in his pocket

[carmine coyote]

It was actually a brothers burguer joint that got tricked into franchising out to make more money

[dapper geode]

^

[stuck copper]

oddly, i've seen more and more McD's close down around here

[dapper geode]

Similar story with KFC

Honestly

I prefer local kebab joints and pub food than fast food

[stuck copper]

definitely

[dapper geode]

but I still eat fast food, occasionally

[carmine coyote]

It's pretty much the same for most fast food joints in the US

[dapper geode]

Sam's Chicken is nice

Also Nandos imo

I like their sauces

I like when the spice kills my tastebuds

[carmine coyote]

Best place for subs is a Publix by the way

[sour crescent]

Ah Nando's the one South African chain restaurant that made it on the Global scale

I wish Nando's weren't so expensive but it is quality

[dapper geode]

Is it just me or are most fast food joints in the UK generally better quality than US fast foods joints

[sour crescent]

I understand that

Its the same here

The local places are way better

[wintry sonnet]

oh shit could it be

[stuck copper]

What's up Aquan?

[wintry sonnet]

update's moving on

[lament flower]

[wintry sonnet]

890

[stuck copper]

It updates now

At least

[wintry sonnet]

half an hour left

[sour crescent]

^

[wintry sonnet]

there's still a chance

[sour crescent]

At least

We aint getting it in the next 5 minutes

that's for sure

but maybe 30 minutes

[stuck copper]

Imagine

If you get cucked out of your pvp

[dapper geode]

What?

[wintry sonnet]

I'm not worried all that much about it

[stuck copper]

Btw

[wintry sonnet]

at least I'm assuming since they compensated the points in past

then they will this time too

[stuck copper]

Isn't this one of the longest maints?

[wintry sonnet]

it very well is

[stuck copper]

Been going for a while

[wintry sonnet]

we never went past the whole long pvp round

[stuck copper]

Makes me wonder if they're trying to break their record

[wintry sonnet]

so, the update now downloads fine

[stuck copper]

it is by far the longest

Yeah

Most of the others cleared off by this point

So it's pretty stable now

[wintry sonnet]

hey, fine by me

[carmine coyote]

They might end up pulling an FGO and go almost a full day

[stuck copper]

I mean for me

[wintry sonnet]

means I got time to continue watching the train wreck that is season 8 of GoT

[stuck copper]

It almost is

[wintry sonnet]

[stuck copper]

Like I live in UK as you know

It started at 8am

speaking of disappointments, i am forced to watch the new game of thrones now. cya later.

It's now 7:36pm

[carmine coyote]

Oddly enough I kind of called who got the Iron Throne there

[ornate mantle]

Is server up?

[stuck copper]

Not atm

Predownload works now though

Cya Cal

[sour crescent]

8:36 pm here

[carmine coyote]

Only for iOS though not sure about Android

[stuck copper]

But yeah Wolfie for me

It more or less is a full day

Say for Izu too

android works

[clear gate]

It works for me on Android

[stuck copper]

downloaded it twice

[cosmic pier]

am I the only one here who aint watched a single ep of GoT

[ornate mantle]

Wow

[stuck copper]

Android works fine but... initialization failed

[cosmic pier]

it aint weeb enough for me

[stuck copper]

Since technically
