I don't want to hear any self-defeating naysayers. I only just found out about it and I'm ready for the initial honeymoon phase but this sub is a total bummer fest at the moment. If you don't have something nice to say, just don't say anything!

Can't wait to try this game out, it looks incredible. I'm not really into Online gameplay personally (prefer couch multiplayer) but I'll be there if it keeps the devs going! Already dreaming about what characters I make Make into the Fray...FTL ship assist? They want no IP but come on FTL ship is just a generic term. I'm not sure what else I might make, maybe I'll just put in some sort of Unnamed Goose or something. I'll ask for permission later!

I've got a family member with a huge mess of investment brokerages and I'm looking for thoughts on how to handle it. Is there a way to transfer investments without buying or selling?

On the one hand, it's not really a problem. There are separate 401ks for each place worked, some invested in Target date funds, others invested in funds like VTI or VSAX, and much more. Zero individual stocks, but just a mess of holdings across brokerages.

Maybe it should just be left alone, it's not hurting anything, and moving things around will incur unnecessary costs, and maybe (?) also increase risk by consolidating to a single brokerage. Maybe it's still okay to just leave it. But having a poorly under

I can't login to Truist (or rather, I can, but it immediately logs me out) to manage my company HSA/MSA. So, trying to figure out what was going on, I looked at the network activity.

Wtf Truist. They’re sending my user data to the ad networks for Pinterest, LinkedIn, Google, and Adroll to name a few just to log into their banking portal. Yeah, it's obvious I can trust this bank with my most intimate financial information (/s)

Looking for a more qualified brain to help me figure this one out.

My spouse got us into a Whole Life insurance situation. We are above the income limits for Roth IRA / IRA contributions if I understand correctly. I haven't figured out how "backdoor Roth" really works.

The insurance is about $300/mo going in, and represents a fairly small portion of our holdings. The salesperson sold them on the tax-advantages (only gains are taxed, but you can take a tax-free loan against those gains if you want to access them, and dividends are "benefit refunds" not income). But the thing is, it's just following the market too, so...how does one find the break even point for the claimed tax advantages o

I haven’t touch VR since the Oculus DK2. I’m thinking about getting back into it, but the only PC I have is a Steam Deck. Well, I have a system that I built in 2013 but I haven’t powered it up in almost a decade.

I know some of the headsets now have their own computer built in, so they don’t need any kind of tether, but that some titles still require an external machine to power them. So, to my question, does anybody know if the Steam Deck could run Half Life: Alyx well enough? And is there a good headset for a casual like me?

So I had set up some stuff with EmuDeck and HeroLauncher on my primary drive, but it appears that some of it isn't working after applying an official Steam Deck update. So my question is: which areas of the filesystem are "safe" from being touched by a system update? I know Valve officially says "only flatpak applications are safe," so I'm moving over what I can to run from the Discover store, but not all applications are necessarily going to have a flatpak. Also, I'd love to be able to

I am also aware that, if not using flatpak, an application may use specific dependencies gathered from the system that might be updated by a Deck update, thereby making them no longer functional. I'm not as

Hello, new Deck owner here. The Deck really brought life to my Steam library. Amazing games that I never bothered to play even though they're right up my alley, simply because I didn't have the right form-factor in my largest game library.

So, now I'm ready to mess with the defaults, and I'm looking for prior guidance. I thought I would find this info in a sticky or Wiki, but I couldn't find it there. While I found software recommendations like Heroic Browser, I didn't find the info I know I've seen about some other possible tweaks. I'm hoping folks can help me answer some of these configuration questions.
