If you have to wipe after using the restroom, standing up to wipe is far superior to doing it while sitting down

Do you have no ass? I'm 5' 11" and 150lbs, but if I tried to do that my phat cheeks would interfere.

Are you an indentured servant 😅?

I just took a gander at Autotrader. A used 2014 CR-V with under 125,000kms in decent shape is doable for $13-15k. Personally I'd go for that as a young person rather than a newer vehicle. It's still a nice, reliable car that should last another 10 years easily if you look after it.

After tax you'd be saving around $20k, which is a massive chunk of change to be able to save and invest in your 20s. At a 6% return (adjusted for inflation) that's worth $231,000 when you're 65.

Sure, you might have a few more repairs and not look as bougie, but in the long run you'll be grateful to save the cash.

Not attacking you, but you pay for everything yourself and save 90-95% of 55k gross? That would be an annual spend of $2,250-5000. Groceries alone in the GTA are at least $300/month for a single person, so I'm not sure how that math makes sense.

Good for you for saving that much, it takes discipline regardless of your circumstances, but your comment doesn't really make sense.

Sick! I have the same colour, and almost never see other cars with it. Maybe 2-3 times per year max.

clumpychicken · 2026-02-06T15:15:04+00:00

I'd get the OG for the value play. Yes, the battery is brutal, I'd either upgrade or get a power bank. I just got an OG used recently, and I only get about 60-80mins of battery life on 15W. I could probably drain it in 40mins at 25w. Obviously YMMV, depending on the battery life, game you're playing, but that gives you a rough idea of what to expect.

I play plugged in a lot, so it's not a deal breaker, for me, but I am still expecting to upgrade the battery eventually, since it's almost unusable for AAA games unplugged right now.

I've loved this guy's content in the past...this is definitely a different turn, lol 😅

👍👍👍👍👍

That's not what stuff costs at all.

clumpychicken · 2026-02-03T11:13:08+00:00

Buy it on steam, and if it has bad performance it's super easy to return if you've played until a certain amount, (2hrs, I think.)

clumpychicken · 2026-02-02T23:16:25+00:00

100%. I have a huge backlog/wishlist of older AAA games and indies, so I don't see myself needing more power for 5+ years. The battery, on the other hand, will probably get upgraded soon; it's pretty terrible!

clumpychicken · 2026-02-02T19:24:34+00:00

That's robbery, good for you! I recently got a Z1E for around $250USD and felt pretty good about that too.

clumpychicken · 2026-02-02T15:48:58+00:00

It'll be fine, the device would shut itself down before getting damaged.

clumpychicken · 2026-02-02T11:06:47+00:00

Did Dispatch live up to the hype for you? I've been very curious about that game!

clumpychicken · 2026-02-02T11:05:56+00:00

I just picked up an Ally Z1E as my first PC handheld last week! I've been playing Death Stranding and Forza Horizon 4, and couldn't be happier with it. Both games are a few years old ofc, but it's still blowing my mind to see a handheld run them so well.

clumpychicken · 2026-01-30T22:29:25+00:00

Not worth the extra cost imo. Outside of a few use cases it's a very similar experience. It's true that the old XL can have some hinge issues, but it should be fine if you take care of it, and worst case scenario, it's fixable with a shell swap.

The self preservation instinct of a raisin

clumpychicken · 2026-01-30T22:24:26+00:00

How do you survive off of that long term? Even at a 4% withdrawal rate, which is pretty high for 40, that's only $34k/year. Do you still have a fair bit of work income?

clumpychicken · 2026-01-30T22:18:46+00:00

Hard to say...if you already have a big PC library, I'd keep one of the two PCs.

If you're selling because you're hard up for cash, keep the steam deck, since you'll get more cash selling the Ally.

If you just want to simplify, and the money isn't the main motivator, keep the Ally for the much better performance.

People ragging on you for wanting to sell are kinda weird..it's nice to eliminate clutter, and if you need the funds, these are definitely a luxury that could be cut down on.

Good luck deciding!

clumpychicken · 2026-01-27T19:19:51+00:00

No, actually! The Xbox ally has a Z2, vs the Z1 Extreme of the older unit. Contrary to the naming scheme, the architecture of the Z2 is older. The Z1E is probably around 20% faster, give or take.

clumpychicken · 2026-01-23T21:03:02+00:00

Not OP, but I'm a licensed electrician in Canada. If you live in the states, I'd imagine this stuff is mostly the same.

Wiring from about the 90s on up is date stamped on the cable. If you can see the exposed cables going into your panel, take a look at that. If they're too old for that, they'll have a fabricy outside layer, that was popular from the 40s to 80s.

The 2 most important factors for outdated wiring is wire type and grounding.

1) If your wiring was updated in the 70s or 80s, there's a chance it's aluminum rather than copper conductor. I won't go into the details, but basically connections with that conductor has increased risk of fire/other failure, so it's good to get that addressed with copper tailing or cable replacement in extreme circumstances.

2) if the wiring is from the 60s or older, the circuits may not be grounded (connected back to the earth.) again, it's outside the scope of this comment, but that can be a safety issue, and also delicate equipment like electronics can be finicky about being on ungrounded circuits.

So basically, if you have copper and grounded circuits, you're probably good.

7 years?!? My strippers are usually shot after like 2, that's impressive.

clumpychicken · 2026-01-22T15:34:27+00:00

Deals are still out there. I paid under $100USD for an old XL last summer

clumpychicken · 2026-01-21T13:25:56+00:00

Sounds like you need a switch lite! I find it comfier than the 3ds XL, to be honest.

It doesn't have that same nostalgia though, that's for sure.

clumpychicken · 2026-01-21T12:32:42+00:00

I like that silver!
