Hi hi my friends! The TL;DR of this video is that my house suffered some severe weather damage that destroyed my office where I record. I'm so sorry I haven't posted the rest of ME2 like I said I would in my community post. I hope this video provides some clarity. To be honest, this video makes me quite anxious to post! I don't want to come across as being negative, and I also open up a bit about how hard this has been on me. Plus, I received a comment on the Legion loyalty mission video saying "and she disappeared again...." and it actually kinda hurt my feelings lol! Please know that there are many things I struggle with in my daily life that prevent me from being consistent on YT, even though consistency with posting is one of my top personal goals for 2024. Finally - I want to put out feelers for a Discord. I am really wanting to create a community there for us and would like to know if there's interest! Much love to you all - I've missed you all very much. 💛 P.S. Things are still not fixed. As of today the drywall is not being replaced for at least another week and then we still need people to come out and fix the carpet after that, in addition to painting. It's looking like at LEAST August before anything is even kind of back to normal! P.P.S. At some point I will likely archive this video because I just wanted to post an explanation for the time being so don't be alarmed if you see it's gone in the future. 💛
People shouldn't be giving negative comments to you there should appreciate your hard work that you are giving people a Safe place in this world to watch your amazing content ❤️
Hey Ren! Im so sorry to hear about this situation. I’m usually just a silent observer of the channel but listening to this situation is triggering. Please, please consult with an attorney that handles landlords tenant law in your state. You may have done so already, but I just had to say it. I work in the legal field and I see too many people get taken advantage of because they don’t know what rights they have available to them. Please document everything, dates, times photo evidence and any communication and find someone who can help because there’s no reason anyone should live in that situation. I wish you both much success.
Thank you so much! We've been talking with lawyers to figure out what to do. Thankfully one of my boyfriend's closest friends is a lawyer, my best friend's mom is a lawyer, and a family member of mine is a lawyer. None of them handle tenant law but all have been helpful with legalese and pointing us in the right direction. We've also been contacting a pro-bono law group where I live that specifically serves tenants and had them look over a letter we've sent to our landlords requesting at minimum rent + utilities back for June and July (+ any future months should this go into August and beyond), in addition to permission to break our lease w/o penalty and financial help in moving us somewhere else. No idea what's to come of it because everyone knows how exhausting it is advocating for yourself in a situation like this. As they advised, we spent money on a service (our house) expecting a particular outcome (it being livable) and didn't get it so requesting a refund is absolutely within our rights. Agh!!!!!!!!! So sick of renting LMAO
Hey Ren! Sending lots of good vibes your way! Hopefully this messy situation gets resolved soon. As someone who's living with asthma I totally understand your situation (mold is pretty serious bussiness), tbh you're way more patient than I am,I would've already sent them to hell after the first reschedule. Don't worry about us, we'll be patiently waiting for the last episodes of M.E.2 and hopefully the start of M.E.3. Until then,take care! ;)
Sending all the love ren! So sorry all this happened to you, hope the rest gets fixed up soon. Take all the time you need to make sure things are all well, we'll always be waiting. And beets are great lol. The discord idea sounds amazing, I've been moderating a server with about 6000 people for a few years now and I'd be more than happy to help out if needed!
Omg would LOVE to have you help if you're interested!! If you're comfortable, would you be willing to reach out on Discord? I don't want you to have to declare your Discord handle publically in comments if you don't want to. Otherwise you're welcome to shoot me a quick email (in my bio) with your Discord info and I can send you a message!
What an absolute horror show dealing with that landlord and house situation 😵 I’m sorry you have to deal with that and hopefully it gets resolved quickly with the new contractor. I was wondering what happened with the rest of the ME videos but it’s totally understandable given your situation and no need to apologize at all. I appreciate the update on your channel and I hope all is well soon.
Hello 👋 I'm really sorry hearing about your situation I'll pray 🙏 that you able to solve everything without any more hurdle that you already had gone through
I'm so sorry you had to go through this absolute nightmare. I really do admire that you're so relatively calm about it, not sure if I would be as zen about a situation like this. And obviously there's no reason at all to apologize for not uploading videos. That's true for a normal day, and even more so for the situation you were/still are in. Your videos to me are never expected, but always very much appreciated when they show up in my feed...kinda like shooting stars, really. 😄 Hope your situation improves soon! PS: not relevant, but still: very fun earrings! PPS: yay to a discord server!...but very much nay to beets from my side 😄
This comment is so sweet seriously thank you for saying that. Thank you re: the earrings!!! I never wear earrings in my videos because in a normal recording I have headphones in and it's distracting but irl I love, love, love funky earrings!
I appreciate and enjoy your videos when they appear but you shouldn’t feel bad when you can’t do them. I’m just glad you’re ok. All the best to you as you work through the house issues!
Hey Ren, I’m real sorry to hear about all this. It was bad enough before, but once you got the mushrooms part, that was when I was just stunned. That’s disgusting. I’m so sorry you and your partner were stuck living in those conditions. That’s disgusting and potentially unhealthy and just all around a bad situation. As someone who has also rented many times myself, I can sympathize and empathize with your situation. I’ve also had shitty landlords myself that have forced me to live in shitty disgusting conditions too. I’m glad progress is finally being made but man I can empathize with the stress. There were times I couldn’t even sleep in my own bed and had to sleep elsewhere cuz of the conditions and that just threw me off and felt so constricting on my life and mind. Thanks for keeping us posted and letting us know where you’ve been / why you’ve been MIA. Appreciate it. No apology necessary but still very kind of you to do so anyways. Look forward to getting more content from you whenever you can. Your ME playthrough is something I genuinely get so much happiness and excitement from. Also, my maternal grandfather LOVED beets. He’d just eat them raw like an apple lmao. So shout out beets, I guess 😂.
Oh my gosh I am SO sorry to hear about your history with awful living conditions!! I'm a firm believer in safe, comfortable housing being a base right and need for everyone so it just makes me so mad that things like this can and do happen to people. Thank you so much for your support 💛 Also I cracked up at "shout out to beets I guess". I have yet to snack on one like an apple but gotta be real with you the desire to is definitely there now that I've read about your grandpa LOL
I think a damaged house is a good reason to be off the air for awhile. Hope you will be able to play mass effect 3 soon since I love watching reactions to the start. Since I just recently found your channel and only up yo mass effect 2 episode 3 it will be awhile before I get to new videos. I have played mass effect effect trilogy so many times, I have played female shep a couple of times romances every one but 2 who I will not mention now because it is in 3 and played every class.
If I've taken anything away from this it's that I need to routinely feel up my carpets, probably weekly, going forward. Terrible jokes aside, really sucks you're dealing with all this. It's honestly one of the worst parts of renting that seems to cross borders...landlords dragging their feet over legitimate issues. I've had requests straight up ignored because they didn't want to deal with it...or according to them "oh, we must've misplaced the paperwork". I don't envy you needing to deal with all that, I sure wouldn't be able to stand the disorder and disruption for that long. I do hope that the progress that has started for you continues smoothly at this point. As for a Discord, I'd probably join it...even if I'm normally socially awkward at times. But once I warm up I'd gladly chat movies, games and whatever with the others that might be there.
It's comforting to know I'm not alone with things like this but also I don't like that others suffer the same problems no matter where they live! Years ago I lived in a place where my radiator was absolutely blasting boiling hot water all over my wood bedroom floor and it took them multiple days to come out, even though it was an incredibly old place and I lived on the top floor of the building so if the floors rotted it was a problem for everyone (let alone the problem of boiling water spraying all over!!). Also for the record socially awkward people are absolutely my type of people :) The more the merrier ok!
Omgoodness Ren that does sound like a disaster 100%, so sorry you have to go threw this kinda 💩and it's not complaining, I like to think of it as venting🙂 Wish you the best of luck and hope you get back to some normality soon🥰 Beets are so awesome🙂 I have some growing in the garden, not doing very well but I have hope😊Peas and cherry tomatoes are doing fantastic thou.
TEX THANK YOU FOR THE HEADPHONES you are an actual earth angel I appreciate the ever loving heck out of you. You're always one of the most supportive people in this community and just know that I notice and remember!!! Love to hear about your garden (sorry your beets are struggling though!!), it sounds so wonderful!! 💛
Oh that sucks. Literal mushrooms??? Ugh! This is one of the reasons I stopped renting -- not like crap like this doesn't happen but when it does it's my own fault! Your weather sounds like you live near me, which only matters because I'm swimming monitors and will probably have a spare desk soon...
LITERAL MUSHROOMS!!! I did actually look up to see if they were edible and they are which is a shame cuz ain't no way I'm eating carpet shrooms! We're so tired of renting for sure. And if we did live close I'd gladly take em off ya!!
@@renwraiths Now I have to know what kind of mushrooms they were. But I wouldn't eat them either (: And I'd think you lived nearby except I've never heard you say "Oh ya you betcha" or mention hotdish.
@@sterlingphoenix It looked like a cup fungus! But I could be wrong because I wasn't picking them up and looking at their spore prints lol. And omg. We can reminisce about the famous Halloween blizzard of '91
@@renwraiths Haha! I wasn't living here yet in '91 (I never even saw snow till I moved here) and whenever it snows more than a foot people won't stop about how oh the Halloween blizzard of '91 was much worse, uuuufda yah you betcha!
If there's one thing we love here it's talking about the weather! What a small world omg if you ever happen to see me out definitely feel free to say hi!
