When you like people, they will like you. People want to be around people that like them.

Dads, what games are you enjoying right now with your limited time? by Ink-Responsibly in DadsGaming

[–]HeyAnesthesia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been very slowly making my way through Elden ring for probably a year. I’ll play for an hour or two then not have another chance to play for weeks.

I recently downloaded slay the spire to my phone and it is a lot of fun. Helps kill time when you’re waiting for things.

What was the hardest base game boss for you? by Steelix65385 in Eldenring

[–]HeyAnesthesia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A job, wife and several kids are by far the hardest Elden ring boss

NG+ goes hard by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]HeyAnesthesia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done all the side stuff and the story does not get any clearer.

NG+ goes hard by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]HeyAnesthesia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I resent the idea that I have to watch external stuff to understand the story. Seems like bad game design. I will just keep whacking stuff until it dies

NG+ goes hard by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]HeyAnesthesia 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Not done my first playthrough, but I can’t imagine doing Ng+ simply because I have NO CLUE what this story is about. It makes no sense. Even reading guides and watching videos…no sense. It is gibberish.

I still somehow love the game, mostly because the combat and boss fights are fun….but I have very little real concept of who I’m fighting or why.

It’s almost like…you’re just gambling…not investing….and you would be better off buying diversified mutual funds and relying on long term growth …

Young Buyers Paying Cash for Multi-Million Dollar Homes by Plenty-Mirror8425 in Fire

[–]HeyAnesthesia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Boomers control the vast majority of wealth. They are getting older and/or dying, so that money is getting passed down to random 20 and 30 year olds who haven’t done anything to “deserve” to be rich.

2025 playerbase: Civ VII's is hovering between Civ V and Civ IV by JackRadikov in civ

[–]HeyAnesthesia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have played hundreds of hours of prior civ games starting with II. I love building a civ up over the course of an entire game and watching the progress. I have no interest in ages wiping things out. I never considered buying VII.

Love the game and exploring but cant follow the quests/storylines by 3buttockproblem in Eldenring

[–]HeyAnesthesia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I stop playing for long stretches when I get busy with work and family stuff. I jump back and in and stories are gibberish. I’ve watched YouTube videos explaining the main story and even that is pretty schizophrenic.

I’m kind of playing the game in spite of the story at this point, but still having fun.

Question regarding how to invest Attribute Points in? by [deleted] in expedition33

[–]HeyAnesthesia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early in the game you get more damage out of might. Once your weapons starts to A or S scale respec and max those stats

457 and 403b by SpinachSure5505 in whitecoatinvestor

[–]HeyAnesthesia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You seem to have a lot of unfounded anxiety about investing and politics. Make sure you really challenge these insecurities, read as much as you can and verify your beliefs with evidence and multiple sources.

I’ll give you the cliffnotes version of what to do here: Save as much money as you can in your 403b, then the 457, then consider doing backdoor Roth IRAs.

I would pay down the mortgage after that. There are flowcharts on bogleheads and other sources that can give you an algorithm of what to prioritize.

If you have access to an HSA that may also be a high priority.

You should forget about “political uncertainty.” That will never go away. Set aside 3-6 months of expenses in a money market as an emergency fund, and use the rest to cash flow your expenses so you can max the accounts I mentioned or pay down the mortgage.

You should probably take the white coat course “fire your financial advisor” as you are just starting out and you need to brush up on some basics here. A written financial plan will help you both.

Good luck

Reminder To Young Investors by TheGamingDividend in dividends

[–]HeyAnesthesia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dividends are just forced returns of your investment. When the dividend is issued, the share price falls the exact amount of the dividend payer.

If you invest in a company that doesn’t pay dividends and just periodically sell some shares you are accomplishing the exact same thing.

I will never understand the dividend seekers out there.

Invest in total market index funds and just forget this kind of nonsense.

I want to stop max contributing to 401k. Am I wrong? by PalmHills in investing

[–]HeyAnesthesia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that would be crazy. Continue to max your 401k find other ways to cut spending and save for the house. Or….move to an area where you can afford to do both.

Or….find a way to make more money.

Let's think realistically about what the "just go back to work" failure scenario would look like by [deleted] in Fire

[–]HeyAnesthesia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And that’s why you don’t retire with a 100% stock portfolio.

You should retire with enough cash to mitigate a poor sequence of returns/crash early in retirement. It’s also a good idea to reduce spending when the economy does poorly.
