  • In hopes they read this comment - the problem is your price. $100 a year is about what I pay for membership to The Guardian - a highly respected, award winning newspaper, that gives away ALL its content. Why would I pay the same for tech news that covers a fraction of all the news out there?

    At $5 a year I would have signed up after reading one good article - at $10 maybe after a couple of good articles - but at $100? Never. Even if you were the only good tech news site - and you are not.








  • Per the article it’s not the top rate he plans to edit but the middle 40% rate which currently starts at £50,270. It’s a little more complex because there is also National Insurance to pay which drops when you hit the 40% tax rate so effectively you go from paying 32% total below £50,270 to 42% above £50,270 (for income above that level). There is a tax free band below £12,570 as well.

    I’m simplifying because tax is complicated but roughly that’s how it works. As you move up tax bands you also lose amounts of other allowances like free dividend interest. Above £100k income it gets more complex because even more allowances are removed, especially the tax free band gets reduced.




  • Thank you for the advice! Sadly I’m playing on Switch so probably can’t use the mods - however I appreciate your insights into the value in playing without the mines, that reassures me it’s a valid strategy/play style.

    The biggest factor that causes me stress in Stardew is actually the time restrictions - trying to maximise the days for example. This is a me problem obviously but it seems to be somewhat common.

    I’m tempted to play again on iOS since I own it there as well and try to be extremely casual and not really care about my progress.
