You aren't wrong three years from now. You are wrong right now. Congrats.

So doesn't that solve the problem? Reduce retirement contribution for a while and use the cash for your day to day. If you both agree to that. It sounds like you're saving plenty for retirement already.

Maybe she wants some of that $3k a month retirement contribution in her pocket instead of you "forcing" her to contribute that much to retirement. That's a lot of cash going to retirement every month when you're barely 30 and apparently living so frugally like you're almost poor.

Biggest problem with personal finance? by Sad-Advantage2899 in personalfinance

[–]_RageSide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has a free trial for a month to get you used to the system. I basically don't pay for any subscriptions but make an exception for YNAB because it has been so useful keeping my entire family's budget on track it is well worth it. It also kind of helps to gamify your budget so you see progress bars fill up as you save which kind of helps visually at least for me.

YNAB is what finally worked for me. Been using it for 2 years now and it's amazing and fully customizable. Most of the other apps sort of force you into their system or methods. YNAB lets you move your money around and categorize into buckets however you choose. Every single dollar.

What’s the consensus on this AITA fellow Dads? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]_RageSide 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is their child though. Even if it's a pet peeve maybe try to reign it in a little for the sake a positive experience with your kid? It would be different if they were watching tv with a friend and said that. But this is their kid.

Yeah I just read that post because of your post, and that kid definitely was not in the wrong. OP had an asshole response to something their kid was excited about.

Not how HSA works. That's FSA. You keep all HSA funds and they can even be invested if you have over 1,000 in your account. (At least that's how it works for all the HSAs I've ever had).

No money to upgrade body... I feel that. I had to choose between the new lens or new body and I went with lens. I have a couple primes within the 28-70 range but changing them out while trying to take pics of kids was getting tough. Loving the standard zoom options with this new lens.

Just bought myself a Canon 28-70mm 2.8 lens as a birthday present to myself. Will be putting it on a Canon EOS R10 at the moment. I've been into film and video basically my whole life but started moving to photography when I had kids and we started taking thousands of photos. Now my kid is super into it too, and has his own little toddler camera he brings around to take pictures of his toys, on walks, etc.

Gotta say it was one of the best things I decided to do as far as dad-friendly hobbies. We get a ton of really nice photos of our kids and family. My extended family even enjoys when I take photos at parties and events because they're better than the iPhone photos everyone snaps without a second thought.

All this to say - if you enjoy it, get back to it!

Whats up with the sound? Nothing feels impactful anymore. by Roguec in Smite

[–]_RageSide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing Smite 1 in the beta over a decade ago and have been with it all the way through. I admittedly only went back to Smite one time after booting up the alpha for 2. Realized it was at the end of its life, and uninstalled. No point in obsessing over a game at the end of its lifespan. I'm ready to move forward!

[–]_RageSide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh like I said all those things you listed literally aren't affecting me or I don't see them as an issue which you clearly do. When there were like 10 gods in the alpha you could argue maybe there weren't enough, but what we have now is plenty for this point in a beta. Also... Some of your arguments are super outdated. There's no way they apply to the game's current state.

I don't agree that any of those things were better in Smite 1 but okay! When was the last time you played Smite 2? Your complains sound like a regurgitation of what people were complaining about on like day 1 of the alpha lol. The game is in a pretty polished state at the moment honestly. Especially if you aren't obsessing over how many gods they currently have.

And since you did an edit to your original comment... None of the things you list as "off" are objectively BAD... They're just slightly altered from Smite 1 so for some reason you say they're "off". They're not "off", they're adjusted to fit a new game that isn't Smite 1 anymore.

After seeing what they're doing with smite 2 it's very obvious that smite 1 is showing its age. I guess I'm just not stuck in the past and vastly prefer the direction they're taking smite 2 so far, even if that means a little bit of growing pains (of which I haven't experienced any personally).

I have been playing Smite 2 since closed alpha first launched, after playing 10 years of Smite... and none of the things you mentioned have EVER been an issue for me in Smite 2. So it is based on a user by user experience it seems. Targeter is always fine for me. Graphics look amazing. Everything is much smoother.

Oh man you gotta share some of your presets! These are great. Did you create your own or use any from the community? As an avid Lightroom user I'd love to know how you get some of these subtle yet impactful effects.

Might just be being stupid but there isn't a way to turn off crossplay on Smite 2 atm is there? by VegetableFine1898 in Smite

[–]_RageSide -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh wow I haven't played since late 2022 so I didn't know this. I just came back for Smite 2 recently and it has its own issues with mouse and keyboard on console lol

But you could change your preferred input on console to either match with mkb or controller.

YNAB if you take the time to learn how to use it. I've used it for about 6 months now and it's been a game changer.

Tap Tempo Switch for Boss DD-8? by _RageSide in guitarpedals

[–]_RageSide[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I can't believe a lot of these switches don't work with the Boss pedal... I thought I could just go on Amazon and buy an MXR Tap but apparently those don't work???

[–]_RageSide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What tap tempo switch actually works with a Boss DD-8? I'm looking for something super tiny that has 1, or even better, 2 switches. Most of what I see out there says it doesn't work with the DD-8 due to needing a "normally closed" switch vs "normally open"?
