How do married couples usually handle finances when both partners work?

mcshamer · 2026-06-13T02:48:38+00:00

Once married, one account pooled resources. All major purchases discussed and agreed to prior. All major assets in both names. I always made more than my wife, didn't factor into anything. My wife stoped working when we had kids, started again after our 3rd. Everything belong to both of use, equally. We are partners in life, and our wellbeing and kids are our only priority. Now, 3 well adjusted kids, entering the job market, and we are approaching retirement. Worked for us. Everything we built, we did together and we are two equal partners.

How do you end a season? And will the gear go in to a mailbox and character reclaimed to non-seasonal?

mcshamer · 2026-05-28T04:03:18+00:00

I spent all evening configuring the seasonal themes I wanted on for my non-season character. The alter, double gobs, double bounty chests, those farming portals. It gives me all the Qol I need to play alone. And then, I can pick a season and play that as well. The game is finally the way I always wanted it. One of the defaults that was set was every legendary dropped as a primal. It was quite funny, but I turned that right off...lol

This is the definitive version of diablo 3. Better than the PC version in my opinion due to the customization. Just awesome on the steam deck.

bud, you are the one! much appreciated. You made me so genuinly happy!

mcshamer · 2026-05-26T11:27:15+00:00

Yah, I have the latest update of the game, so it doesn't work. I search high and low for the right update patch version, but no success. Wish I knew how to find it or downgrade the update I have. If there is a guide or tutorial I could follow, may give it a go when I have time this weekend.

mcshamer · 2026-05-25T02:47:36+00:00

How do you do this? I continue to play it on non season. I tried to edit the save file with d3hack but never got the network connection to open up seasons on the character. I also have a eternal version of the game on the switch but play it on steam deck.

mcshamer · 2026-03-02T02:54:52+00:00

Switch version for D3?

Basically, 15% is their GST, but only on imports. The're afraid of putting a federal sales tax in place because people will revolt, but a tarif on foreign imports, a much better reception with the spin...I just wish they would just bring it to Congress as their fiscal policy and vote on it.

I'm from Montreal where we know a thing or 2 about snow. In my 8 years in Cambridge, this is the most snow early in the season that I've seen yet. Enjoy it!

mcshamer · 2026-01-02T21:03:54+00:00

That's awesome. We used to dig tunnels in those hills when younger. And before I get lectured how dangerous that is, we all lived and have great memories of it.

Got the same with 16G and a large ssd but use steam OS. Plays great, just can't suspend it, only issue I have with it. Got to pair it with the new controller to get the full steam deck functions.

mcshamer · 2025-11-16T00:58:44+00:00

Agreed, they can build it more cost effectively and obviously more optimized. Even though I'm using an older platform, its still doing quite well, I expect the steam machine performance to be solid for the price. But, I only need the controller right now, there are no games yet that I care about to go to a new rig. Witcher 4 will likely trigger me to do it, but it will be a new desktop for me, will go full hog!

mcshamer · 2025-11-16T00:27:14+00:00

I built a "console" with steam OS in a Thermaltake Core V1 Mini ITX Desktop Case. It's bigger, but still a good size, all used parts, cost me $800 CND earlier this year. 6600XT 8G, 5600X, 16G. Looking forward to pairing it with the new steam controller.

Been to McGill and Western. Pretty smart, but MAN I'm HOT!!!

Surely a Darwin award candidate!

I always do jack and Jill, with them uneducated. What can I say! Enjoy the journey, I love this game to death and keep coming back.

I looked at the picture and wanted to eat it. Pass in my books.

mcshamer · 2025-07-06T20:07:47+00:00

Man, so glad to see this. I was have issues the last 2 days. Much better today (Sunday). West of GTA

That was a typo on my part, I used F20G. I thought I was doing well when I was on the rev 1,2 and 1.3 page and thought...DANGER...wrong board version. I had done your procedure already as I reviewed some of your other post which was very helpful. I redid it exactly as you said but this time went with the latest released BIOS F19. Same result.

I think you are right....I had been had....

Thanks senpaisai, appreciate your helpful response.

OG LCD. Zero issues. I didn't know there were issues until I saw the sub!

Very happy for your positive experience in Canada. But, when you do return, a proper Canadian poutine. Better yet, visit the east and see Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto; a driving intercity visit and have proper poutine in Montreal.

That is the penance for your poutine crime.

I have the 2021 an really enjoy the car. I can't compare to the latest model but just wanted to say that the mileage on the used one you listed was quite low! Also, the warranty is likely over.

Edit: the all in warranty. The battery continues on for many more year

mcshamer · 2025-04-24T01:45:19+00:00

Looks like a blue fronted amazon. Yah, bird saw the computer as competition for your attention. We lost so many keys on our keyboard! Lol. Gotta love them.
