JAMES! QUIT FLIPPING HOUSES!

It's almost Christmas, people have to live there.

> lady: yeah can you come over to clean up my house and fix in new radiators, my ex trashed the place and stole the radiator
> james: stole the - ARE YOU OK
> lady: btw don't call the cops don't worry i'm going to handle it myself when i get back from vacation
> james: ARE YOU GOING TO KILL HIM????

also j, they can't stop me

Don't ask questions you don't want answers to/that will make you a witness in court.

and that's just the first job!

once you start being able to buy houses, some things get more... interesting

"I'm going to handle it myself" could this be any more ominous

lmao

James, just trying to fix houses:

wow god forbid a woman have hobbies (murder)

he was a radiator boy, she said see you later boy

gosh I remember that one yeah

my favorite is when

you get this email like

"my mother in law is gonna live with us, but she can live in the fall out shelter "

"not gonna spend too much money on her, just get the bare minimum, thanks!!"

incredible

my favorite is the silent hill 4 apartment

oh that one is good

close runner up is walter white's house

i swear there is one game in that where the guy 100000000% killed his gf and you are cleaning up the mess

one game? one house. anyway

there are multiple suspicious brown splatters and you have to sell all her shit

i feel i did not truly understand the game i wishlisted

there's a witch in the second game

this is wild. if I was not terminally mobile, I would be interested.

yeah house flipper is a game that sells itself as just that. a house flipping simulator, but then you start getting requests and are just like "is... is anyone in this reality okay, uhm"

similar to powerwash simulator

which has an actual bonkers lore

I heard this about a dress game? where you find out that like one of the characters has a double or something and there's some sinister shit going on in the background

because a YouTuber shitposted about the game and the comments are like NO DUDE THE LORE

thesinnerwithin: it works on steam deck!

I have no idea what that is but I'm assuming it's a mobile thing so thank you! I will look into it lmao

no snitching

i will not snitch on a woman like this, i fear for myself

michael, i'm sorry, your taste is garbage, bright NEON green in this kid's room is fantastic, i love it, no notes

(also he's doing this behind his cousin's back, i am glad this game will not include the drama of having to listen to that)

the drama!!!!!!!!!

dlc where the actual homeowner comes in while you're in the middle of the job, and you have to discreetly yeet yourself out a window while the two family members get into a screaming match on the lawn

lmfao

home flipper lore hits like a mf.

hides the paint cans in the kids room so they can fix the travesty their uncle ordered for their room at least

i also painted their ceiling blue, for fun

I love me an accent wall.

oh, that's nice - if you're scared of roaches, they give you an option to change gross bugs into just shards of glass

OH oh that's handy

that is one of the best features, yes

i do the roaches, but they are horrifying

i have played this game from the start at least four times because it's just that perfect mix of Something that itches my brain so good

but no, no one in this universe is okay

GOD THE SILENT HILL 4 APARTMENT IS AMAZING

i found it totally by accident

I was just about to play it tonight because I had a craving and lmao yeah some of the houses are Suspicious

there is at least one house where someone is like 'my sis is on vacation and i hate her house, change it while she's gone'

and i have so many questions lmao

there's one in luxury DLC where you are absolutely working for a mafia boss

PH YEAH THAT ONE

so good lmao

there's also a frida kahlo expy in pets DLC

and the base game has michael myers' house

OH RIGHT and pets DLC has a shoutout to 102 dalmatians

y'know how if you accidentally try to sell something in the client houses you're not supposed to and you get a popup like 'we're not playing thief simulator' and i think this is a missed opportunity

have it set up where you lose money for selling stuff but don't actually stop people

alao there is a whole Scrooge saga, three houses devoted to it

oh yeah, each one on past, present and future

it's wonderful

it's one of my favorite things yes

i had trouble with the farm DLC and then HF2 came out so i haven't played the original game in a long time... 2 more DLCs came out for 1 with another on the way that i know nothing about

i don't think i have the farm one and i def don't have the new game

I've never played before but maybe I'll try to get it on Switch in January

I'm going to have to boot up this game again damn THANKS JAMES

>:v

blame cuyler, i never really thought about this game series too much but then they tried to make the xv house in house flippers so i vaguely got interested

i don't know why i thought otherwise tbh, i devoured sims when iw as a kid and that's a cousin to this genre
