still not over the absolutely braindead take that "if you say brutalism looks dystopian, you care more about your aesthetic than people having homes!!!!"
like
can't criticize Shein or you must want their workers to be unemployed
oh you don't like that restaurant? guess you want the people eating there to STARVE
fuck both roses AND bread; nutrient-dense gray EnergyCubes would keep you alive so wishing for a better sensory experience is basically capitalist bootlicking
(I agree that considering Soviet-era brutalist apartment buildings in the context of "shit we need housing; put something up quick" is important for those specific structures- though I think that can coexist with "wow that's ugly" -but. this person did not stop there)

Reasons why the simpsons hit and run stream is jerma's best stream
it's ELEVEN HOURS LONG
you get to witness his slow descent into madness as he insists on playing the whole game in one sitting
I can watch it when i replay the game, would recommend makes it way more enjoyable
he spends too much time doing really bad impressions trying to copy voice lines for the game and yelling "HIRE ME IM AVAILABLE"
He decides to confess half an hour in that he knows nothing about the simpsons and has only seen like one or two episodes
this is ten minutes after he references a specific episode, and then proceeds to get told off for 'spoiling' an episode of the simpsons (from like 1995) by chat
Chat also somehow manages to convince him that ten year old boy Bart Simpson's famous catchphrase from everyone's favourite family animated tv show is 'eat ass'
In general it switches between him refusing to believe things people tell him about the game despite being true and falling for obvious lies
he starts the game going 'lol wouldnt it be funny if you could run over simpsons characters' and then jokingly drives towards civillians thinking they'll jump out of the way. they go flying. he is so confused
the dissonance between early and later parts of the stream are palpable. It turns from a cheerful and lighthearted exploration of a funny simpsons game that he refuses to take seriously or accept that it could genuinely make him angry, and transforms into a desperate race against time, his computer and his own hubris as he seeks simply to finish the game so he can sleep. This stream destroys him.
the way the stream highlights are named on his youtube is hilarious. "Jerma will not get angry at the simpson's hit and run" -> "Jerma might get a bit angry at the simpson's hit and run" -> "d'oh"
it's extremely funny how many time he's convinced he's in the last level of the game, only to be wrong. the first time he thinks that is in the first section and hour of the stream
easily his most rewatchable stream (this is gonna cover a lot of dot points)
the amount of tragic irony and foreshadowing in this stream is almost cinematic.
at the very start of the game he complains about the music being too loud and monologues about sounds and over stimulation of game music bothers him, which of course will be very funny in the finale
he also comments a few time at the start about how annoying homer's random voice lines are, and says 'oh god he's gonna repeat that a thousand times before the end of this game'. he's right, and it nearly drives him crazy by the final mission
speaking of the final mission(s), the second time he has to transport the toxic sludge from power plant to the school he like pauses the game and very seriously addresses chat like 'alright tell me right now are the next three levels also me driving the nuclear waste to the school that cant be possible right'. and then just accepting in defeat that that is in fact how this incredibly stupid and difficult children's game finishes
when he first races against the malibu stacy car and gets destroyed he gets mad and says he wishes he could drive that car. then when he gets to drive it in later levels he quickly decides its his favourite and maintains that until the end of the game
on rewatch... you hear him audibly crack open a can that chat demands he prove to them is soft drink and not alcohol like A WHOLE HOUR before The Incident and it's a little like watching a disaster movie where you see the characters laughing and having fun little knowing how they are being hastened towards their own doom... like chat keeps bugging him about it, he keeps making excuses, he keeps sipping the drink. they bring attention to it so much and you listen to it just knowing the pain that is yet to come. dramatic irony at its finest and most heartache inducing
15. ohmyfucking gaaaawd no! no... god... ICANDOITINAJUMP! ..... BART. WHERE IS HE??? BAAART!!!! AAAUUGH
16. actually fr there's a lot of memorable jerma lines in this stream, rewatching it is like watching a jerma funny moment compilation
17. the final couple of levels where he is getting steadily more overwhelmed to the point of ferality, and then he says he has an idea and goes to the sound menu and turns everything off. voice lines. music. sound effects. and then we watch him play the level in complete silence. and it actually helps him focus its really funny
18. the whole tragic sequence where he is in the FINAL LEVEL. he has played it so many times and just missed it by a few seconds. he is tired. he is hungry. he just wants to get off stream and eat a BURGER. he is focussing as hard as he can. he is almost there. he runs over too many things and the police are after him. but its okay. he's doing it! he's gonna make it!!! he gets to the school with time to spare and is sucked up into the end of the game beam. it's over. except then the police get sucked into the beam as well. he gets arrested in the beam. which teleports him and the car out of the beam. WHICH MEANS THE TIMER RUNS OUT AND HE LOSES. so he has to do it all over again. it's actually so so so funny and also something i think i personally wouldn't survive if i was in jerma's position in that moment
19. okay we have to talk about The Incident. bc i already alluded to it and bc like, i couldn't not talk about it. as stated above Jerma cracks open a can so you can hear it and chat immediately accuses him of being an alcoholic. he adamantly insists that it is a soft drink not a beer but they refuse to believe him unless he proves it by showing camera. he's playing on a modded ps2 pc port or whatever of the simpsons so it's a complicated setup and he explains that it would be too hard and also he's shirtless so they will just have to believe without seeing. chat continues to harass him while he goes on to play the game, specifically most of the lisa level. he laughs it off but eventually caves, gets up and get a blanket to cover himself and then alt tabs, holds his can up to the camera and says 'alright you satisfied? that might have just fucked up the game'. so then he tries to tab back into the game and it. crashes. hard. so hard that the game won't actually turn back on. so jerma's cursing and fiddling with the controls and saying its over. then it finally reboots and the game works and he's so relieved and it loads and he realises that he has lost SO MUCH PROGRESS. he's back at the start of the lisa section. this is truly the turning point of the game where it goes from being a fun experience to a nightmare gauntlet
20. on a related note: jerma waiting with bated breath *sound of simpsons game booting back up after refusing to for far too long* jerma: yeeeAAAAAH
21. im watching it right now as i replay, which is why im thinking about it obv. so i will almost certainly have more to add to this

Well, I'm sorry to report that the flipper who reno'd all the character out of this house had to give up the dream of selling it for $1.6M and lower it to $1.45M, to $1.1M, to $990K, to $939K, to $899K, to $830K, to $747K, to $732K, to $695K, and it currently lists for $675K. 5bds, 4ba, in Piles Grove, New Jersey. It looks like he purchased it for $162,500, but who knows what he spent fixing it. So, let's take a look inside. The Victorian fence is stunning.
Tumblr media
Clearly, the central entrance hall was removed. This open floor plan looks weird and so awkward.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Umm, if I have to guess, I'd say that, b/c of the alcove, reception room and dining room walls were removed
Tumblr media
This is now the new dining room and the open kitchen. The fireplace was given a new modern facade.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They made a large L-shaped step-down kitchen.
Tumblr media
These may have been the original service stairs.
Tumblr media
New guest powder room.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Laundry room with door to a new deck, but it's on the 2nd fl. You would think it would be a bedroom with access to a deck.
Tumblr media
I'm very confused by the layout of this home, and the real estate photos are all mixed up.
Tumblr media
The main stairs look like they have the original railing painted black.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This must be the primary bedroom and en-suite. Interesting open shower, so this is like a wet room, but look at how far away the wall niches are for shampoo and stuff.
Tumblr media
Going up to the 3rd level.
Tumblr media
There's a kitchenette at the top of the stairs.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then, some more bedrooms and a bath.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They're showing the hardware, but it's new reproduction stuff.
Tumblr media
Large deck on the back.
Tumblr media
Barn on the property.
Tumblr media
0.84 acre lot.

no you’re so right abt the beautiful exteriors vs boring hgtv exteriors because I was on detroit Zillow and I saw the most GORGEOUSLY well kept Edwardian exterior I’ve ever seen only for the interior to be WHITE AND BEIGE SLEEK MINIMALISM 🤢
HGTV is a curse upon the earth and i want it all dead so bad

yesterday I watched “Se7en” for the first time and we are all on the same page about that being an unacknowledged Saw prequel, right? (Not for the elaborate deaths tailored exactly to the perceived sins of the victims but ACTUALLY for the combination of ACAB messaging and the tacit acknowledgement that comically elaborate serial killing tactics can only exist in the post-industrialist metropole where every character regardless of class has access to sprawling single family homes and/or pre-war apartments with a minimum of seven rooms in them)

Holy high hell in a handbasket, it's done! A complete and total redo of the Blue Bungalow in House Flipper 2, in which I hid the original roofs (since you can't delete them, same with original stairs) and obliterated all traces of the old floorplan. The only thing that's really left is the old driveway, which has been repaved to match the building's new look. And that beautiful mesa red finish? Dyed cork lol. It works!
What was once an open-air garage became the pink-ish office, purple bedroom, and ensuite bathroom with shower. The tiny bathroom that barely fits in a screenshot is by the dining area, and the custom spiral stairs are a very tight fit in the corner (they exit upstairs near the lower large balcony). The yellow bedroom and other bathroom are all the way upstairs off of the room that connects three balconies and the stairs coming up from the lower large balcony and the downstairs of the house.
In the end, I spent almost three times the amount of the original property purchase on the renovation, and was happy to see a profit considering I wasn't sure if this much work would be a plus or a minus for such a tiny lot. The sale also snagged me the Millionaire achievement. Now if only we could cut down trees...

" Do you think he'll lose?"
Tumblr media
Khazaan had croaked the question at him more than once and as much as Kha'xanzyr wanted to have faith in An'ggrath, he knew size wasn't necessarily the key to victory. If that were true, Khazaan wouldn't have held rank over the Architect for eons and eons.
Tumblr media
" We will hear of it if he does." Kha'xanzyr had answered.
While the battle had only been days in the realm proper, it had been months in the mortal plane. Months since the furies had brought news of Infernius' fate. According to the crows of chaos, Kharneth himself had taken the fortress up into his realm, such was the Bloodshed there. Kha'xanzyr almost regretted leaving; he wouldn't loved to see the outcome of the battle. To see Skarbrand's head ripped from his shoulders...
There were daemonettes atop Khazaan, getting the Bloodthirster's mane in order. Picking out accumulated gore, trimming anything uneven, removed anything matted and tangled. The Tippler might not have cared much for aesthetics, but even he grew to despise how his injuries -- still unhealed -- left him unable to do anything at all. The Daemonettes had insisted, perhaps tired of seeing the mess of a daemon hobble from place to place, tracking blood everywhere.
As he watched Khazaan be dried off, a fury made itself known and shared the happenings with Kha'xanzyr. The surprise on the Bloodthirster's voice roused curiosity from everyone assembled. Khazaan was the first to speak, jostling the daemonettes on his head as he sat up.
Tumblr media
"What news? What's happened?"
Kha'xanzyr looked at them, wide-eyed.
Tumblr media
" An'ggrath has fallen. Our brother reigns supreme."
---
Skarbrand leaned against the stone of Infernius, the Fortress having been returned. The Fortress was overshadowed still by the skull of the bear god, many times larger than the destroyed Wyrm Skull. He sat beneath the shadow of the great, dead thing, savoring his victory and agonizing beneath the weight of wounds.
Dominion and his even much of his Zharr Armor had been cast off. Harrier he kept with him, looking at the purple axe, panting. Victory. It was his! And to the victory went the spoils...
Tumblr media
...such as they were. Kharneth had returned the edifice, but stench of Malal was still thick within. The destruction of their scheme, too. Overheard, a Bloody Red sky, streaked through with brilliant orange. The rage of Khorne.
Tumblr media
Skarbrand counted himself lucky he had been allowed to leave before witnessing it.

OMG, you're not gonna believe this one. It's a 1920 elegant southern farmhouse style home in Savannah, Georgia and the local realtor's write-up says that the local house flippers, "Cotton Coastal Homes, poured their heart and soul into restoring this 104 year old home to its original beauty with modern functionality located in sought-after Baldwin Park." 4bds, 3ba, $739,900. Okay, you look at this reno and you tell me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don't even know what happened here. It couldn't have been one open space like this, it had to have been 2 rooms w/a center hall.
Tumblr media
Anyway, everything, coffered ceiling, beautiful fancy beams, glass shelving, and walls, are covered in battleship gray semi-gloss. (Or, is it straight-up gloss?) What must have been a lovely traditional fireplace is a flat sheet of white, and is that a black faux firebox? I'm getting so agitated looking at this.
Tumblr media
From that weird little dining area, you walk into the stark white sitting room.
Tumblr media
So, wait, that's the dining room? You have to cross the hall and go down 3 steps from the kitchen?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yes, that is indeed the only dining space. Here's the new kitchen. Who reworked this floorplan? Oh, wait, it gets better. Apparently, you go up 3 steps, cross the hallway, and down 3 steps.
Tumblr media
The guest powder room is tiny, but tasteful.
Tumblr media
A small hall off the kitchen.
Tumblr media
Goes to this small room.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm so confused. Then, there's this shower room. I like the sink counter, though.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Upstairs the farmhouse moldings have been painted a dove gray and there's another bath at the top of the stairs.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Boring, but the sink cabinet isn't bad.
Tumblr media
The primary bedroom fireplace still has molding, but the same stark surround as the downstairs fireplace.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Boring bedrooms 2 & 3.
Tumblr media
There's a side entrance to the yard.
Tumblr media
5,401 sq. ft. lot

I thought the most facepalm-worthy discovery of the day would be that the sellers of this house dropped a long rag or hand towel or something down the toilet pipes during the remodel and just... left it there.
But then I asked the plumber to also check out the guest shower, to see if there was a safety control that was keeping it from getting very warm. His discovery: they'd just straight-up installed the hardware in reverse.

Part 1: The middle floor (normies allowed) Part 2: The top floor (ghouls and guns) Part 3: The bottom floor (you are here)
Landing solidly in the final part of this Vampire: The Masquerade fan build ala House Flipper, we have arrived at the bottom level, accessible down the bouncer-guarded stairs by the lounge where we first started out. There's another way down too... the secret passage behind the locked door in the barracks bathroom upstairs. But we're getting ahead of ourselves, and there's a lovely elysium court to totally not start drama amongst. The door just to the left of the potted iris is a mini ritual room for Tremere, and the door on the right leads to a posh office better suited for Ventrue, Toreador, and the like.
By far my favorite part of this build is the hidden Nosferatu security room and tunnels, the latter of which drop down from the top floor to the bottom, as well as run a very snug circuit that goes allllmost all the way around the outside of the bottom floor (it would go around the entire thing but the original stairs that come with the property can't be deleted and they're in the way). So yes, the walls literally have ears... pointy, misshapen, possibly-flea-infested ears, but who's counting?
There are two other secret entrances into the tunnels as well, which don't actually open in-game but I made them anyways: one behind the bookshelves in the posh office, and one behind the bookshelves by the dance floor upstairs (enters the drop-shaft on the level with the chainsaw). There are security cameras all over the club-level floor, and while there are no cameras on the top or bottom floor, there are an odd amount of little golden hamster statues sitting around oh-so-inconspicuously. Nossie listening devices? Nahhh... I mean... they wouldn't... would they? Of course they would.
The rooms visible in this post include one living room (elysium court), one dining room (Tremere ritual room), two offices (posh version and hidden Nossie security room with tunnels), and two storerooms (the hidden stairways). Stats below are for the entire build.
Time spent: 20 hours 7 mins. Sold for: $546,500. Profit: $176,200.
