Yes, I do the same with my wishlist. The only expensive games I consider are multiplayer games I can play with my friends. I bought Deep Rock Galactic, Sea of Thieves and Valheim for that reason
Have you considered to become a patient gamer? I always wait for a game to drop in price before buying it. That way you know from other people's experience whether it's a good game or not, and you save money. On hardware too! No need for the latest hardware if you don't run the latest games.
I'm always ordering weird shirts off the internet. From like video games, Youtube channels, FOSS and general geeky fun stuff. About once or twice a year some total stranger will say "cool shirt!" out of nowhere. That always makes me smile the rest of the day 😊
I don't believe there are very much fence sitters left. They are just republicans that are afraid to say out loud they will vote for Trump out of fear of being cancelled.
I personally though ED was quite shallow. Deeper than e.g. No Man's Sky but still very "fake". The economy is just a bunch of RNG, nothing real. I recently got into X4: Foundations which is much better IMHO. It really simulates the entire economy and production chains. You can carry out supply chain attacks on your enemies. It's like a cross between ED and Stellaris.
I'm on fedia.io which I think is also Mbin. When I tap the image on my phone (android firefox) the image opens in a popover but it only shows the middle part and scrolling works badly. When I tap the title/link then the image opens as a new page and it works fine.
I was well into my 40's when my kid was born, so I've had it both ways. I vastly prefer the kid. Yes it sucks to not being able to do some stuff on occasion. It even sucks more that my parents are gone so I have a real hard time finding babysitters. But I just love the little one so damn much!
The time to fix that is before and during the primaries. When you're in the booth with a choice between a Democrat and a Republican, the choice should be obvious
I'd recommend:
