  • I’m the same as you. Even if I want something and can afford it, I will hold back longer than necessary. Sometimes I just don’t end up buying the thing, and I’m fine.

    It’s much easier to justify practical purchases, or just save the money. I think this comes from living with financial struggles and wanting to be prepared.

    I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, and it may be beneficial to be frugal and picky about your spending. Clearly it’s working if your budget is planned and in action. Just remember it’s ok to treat yourself once in a while and enjoy it.

    Preorder, no. I don’t usually buy brand new games. FF Tactics remake was the most recent and I needed to see a few days of reviews to build the trust to buy it. Maybe if Fromsoft releases another one-player game I’ll consider that. I’m not sure the types of developers I usually buy games from tend to even do preorder, it seems to be bigger studios from what I have seen.

    Early access, yes for a few select indie developers that I want to support. ATLYSS because it’s priced low and looks great. Into the Unwell will be a day 1 purchase once it reaches early access, since I have played the closed beta and know I want it. Trinity 64 will be another one I’m excited for if it gets an EA release. I’m ok with EA for these because they’re the types of games I yearn for and I want more of them, and I know my contribution makes an impact to the devs.





  • Bread making is great. It’s cheap, easy, and you get bread whenever you want it. It’s also a skill to develop to make better loaves. It’s good to know in case of emergencies or food shortages. It costs less and is healthier than the junk at the store. It’s also incredibly manly to be able to provide for yourself and others with your own two hands. Make bread.
