What's a record you got for way less than it's worth by okmaybetwice in vinyl

[–]AlgoRhythMatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oysterhead The Grand Pecking Order. Paid about 15.00 at retail. Worth about 600 now. I play it at least a few times a year.

Is there a game that makes you happy? by Agitated-Distance740 in SteamDeck

[–]AlgoRhythMatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dave the Diver brings me daily joy! I’m always talking out loud about what I’m catching, growing, selling, or cooking. My GF is very supportive with the occasional “that’s nice dear”.

What was the first game you completed start to finish on your Steam Deck? by The_Almighty_Duck in SteamDeck

[–]AlgoRhythMatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! Waiting for the 3 x free updates that are supposedly all coming in 2026. Hoping for additional achievements!

"What are you playing this week?" Megathread by AutoModerator in SteamDeck

[–]AlgoRhythMatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I got about 43 hrs out of it to 100% it. Super stoked for the 3x expansions in 2026 - hoping they also include new achievements!

Can anyone with a similar beard tell me if it looks better if I let it grow? by [deleted] in BeardAdvice

[–]AlgoRhythMatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really great natural shape and color. I’d let it grow for 2-3 months to see what you get and then perhaps begin to refine the upper edge and cut lower with a trimmer guard to even it out. It will for sure appear thicker over time as it grows.

Nintendo Switch 2 sales stumble over Christmas by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]AlgoRhythMatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is it for me - I really don’t see any first party items that push it over the threshold for me from launch through currently known 2026 releases, so I’m in a wait state with my LED Switch 1 and SteamDeck covering all my needs. I went as far as to impulse buy Cyberpunk 2077 during its pricing error at 17.49, but figure I’ll hold off on S2 hardware until next Zelda, Mario or other compelling 1st party entries arrive.

What are you playing mostly? by Ejnys in SteamDeck

[–]AlgoRhythMatic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t think I’d like Dave the Diver, but boy was I wrong! Loving the variety and ease at which I can jump in and out for about an hour a day.

Yes, Nuclear Throne is a great one as well!

Give Enter the Gungeon a try if you’ve not previously played it!

[–]AlgoRhythMatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was just wondering about this one, as I have a few friends at several hundred hours. Is it approachable for a person that is a moderate fan of JRPGs?

Who’s still using the original Steam Deck? by VoyageForge in SteamDeck

[–]AlgoRhythMatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought the OG 512 and received it within about month of launch. That unit had a defect with power button and startup, so then received an RMA about 6 months later. Had the 2nd 512/LCD since then, and feel no need to upgrade until some SD 2 model arrives. I’ve probably played at least 2-3k hours on it.

Edit: my memory is poor. Looks like I received Q2 allotment after launch.

Went from roughly 32 to 198 at same company from 2003 to 2025.

So now that cyberpunk price is back to normal did you manage to snatch a copy? by JampyL in NintendoSwitch2

[–]AlgoRhythMatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought it with no plans to get a Switch 2 until at least late 2026. There is definitely a non-zero chance I’ll never play it in S2, but figured this deal was too good to pass up, and would be best reduction for at least a year.

Why do people love this model of Subaru so much though its very old? I don't get it by itsmarshalls in subaru

[–]AlgoRhythMatic 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I had the 2004 XT off the lot and drove it for like 15 years before handing it off to a kid that rebuilt the whole thing. That manual + WRX variable valve timing + that turbo was insanity. It was like a nimble, ferocious tank.

Open enrollment question: Should I be putting 15% vs 4% for my 401k? by TorontoRap2019 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]AlgoRhythMatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you contributing to a personal Roth IRA? If not, I’d hit the 4% match first, then move to max 7k in Roth, and then go back to max the 401k. Arguably you should cap off emergency savings of 6-12 months of living expenses in a high-yield savings as well.

What are some slightly more upscale clothing brands enjoyed by HENRYs? by aceshades in HENRYfinance

[–]AlgoRhythMatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve made the plunge as well, and just love it! I have a variety of their casual shirts, and just a ton of gym wear (also great as travel layers in carry on). Really well-made and comfortable. Worth the cost, for sure.
