  • Hey I’m so sorry I’ve been a bit negligent of attending to the community needs as I’ve had a family situation to attend to.

    What I will make clear is that you should only budget money you have IN HAND, and never budget money you’re owed and do not have. If you want to use YNAB to track the debt, I personally have a tracking account for money owed to me and make transfers into the category I paid it out of when the money is paid back. I utilize the memos here extensively to explain why the debt was incurred and so on and so forth.

    The problem with keeping it in budget is that you shouldn’t have anything in your budget with a negative balance. Otherwise you can’t trust your budget. YNAB will yell at you if you do this. The money needs to be squared away somehow which is why I’m suggesting you use a tracking account.

    Of course you don’t need YNAB and can just track it externally and then treat the debt payments received as income into your accounts on budget.

    All of this being said, please don’t take on such a massive debt for a friend in the future. It’s a huge liability and can ruin friendships. I can see you’ve handled it appropriately but I can only hope it didn’t get messier than what you’ve already described.






  • Currently playing 2 games right now. Absolutely loving them both.

    • The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Easily one of the best games I’ve ever played. I’ve avoided finishing the story to draw out the thematic end to the game (I know you can keep playing afterwards but I want the story ending to be my ending, it’s like saving your last bite of food to be something particular). Currently exploring, I absolutely love exploring in this game. I can’t get enough, even after hundreds of hours in BotW, I’m never gonna be sick of exploring this hyrule map. There are STILL surprises everywhere that makes it feel so very new.

    • Bayonetta 3 This shit goes so hard. I mean what the fuck. I never played 1 and 2 but the amount of creative freedom in each fight, combined with the challenge, the style oozing out of the seams of the game. The core gameplay is so tight and excellent BUT THEN YOU GOT FUCKIN KAIJU BATTLES OVER TOKYO AND THEN SUDDENTLY ITS A 2D STEALTH GAME, AND THEN IT’S A CEL SHADED PUZZLE GAME. AND THEN YOU’RE A FUCKING CHOO CHOO TRAIN. I can’t get enough.


  • I know I’m late to the party but I actually beat New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe this weekend! I actually also found certain parts to be challenging but every time I tried to google for guides I found community after community talking about how absurdly easy it was. It was kind of surreal so I just wanted to validate your feelings about the challenge.

    That being said, when I went back to replay older levels……it was way way way WAY easier and I found that I have progressed over the course of the game to have become pretty competent. The game’s difficulty curve trains you pretty well.
