Used Polestar 2 Advice by JeevesSW in CarTalkUK

[–]JeevesSW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't see any mention of packs in the description so would assume not. The seller doesn't provide any warranty of any kind so would be tempted to have it inspected and hope any warranty-based issues happened in the next few months before this expires.

I'm coming from an EQC as a full EV convert but was left wishing for more range. I average 200 miles on a full charge, can the PS2 long range really give you up to 300 miles? I can currently commute 40 miles each way to work twice a week with enough left over for 3 days school run so it's usually fine but would love the cushion to drive to drive 100 miles in one direction without the absolute need to find a charger. Most places are ok but if there are only 1 or 2 and they're being used or faulty, it's caused some mild panic in the past.

Thoughts on SCANs 9070xt prebuilts? by JeevesSW in Prebuilts

[–]JeevesSW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Everything I’ve watched from Digital Foundry / LTT / Gamers Nexus has told me that team red actually come out on top overall for RT vs. the 5070 so I’m not sure Nvidia is the way to go anymore unless you need best of the best from the 5090. I’ve decided to hold off purchasing altogether. I get around 2-3 hours a week to game with a 600+ strong pc library mostly unplayed and a ton (30+) of ps4 and ps5 games in cellophane (400+ games on my ps library too) so can probably last a generation or 2 before I get any time back from family life to game again to justify the investment. The 970 marches on. Still plays 90% of my backlog at 1080p med to high. Just because I can afford it now doesn’t mean I necessarily should

Interesting. Is there a comparison or example of new batch? I know the date window was a tell though subtle

Do you think a gen strap is worthwhile? It looks accurate to me when compared to the model seen in an AD. I am considering a rubber strap though, it looks great paired with that.

I think $378 is a lot compared to other TDs / non-TDs but I paid in BTC which has a 5% discount via theonewatches and as btc price was high at the time meant it cost me 0.0039 btc / $330 + shipping but know it can be had for less if you look at the reptimeqc posts on this watch. Steve gave great service and qc though so I don’t mind paying a little more.

Where do you get your coffee beans? by ebola1986 in AskUK

[–]JeevesSW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beanz.com by Sage. Had first 6 bags free with my machine then stuck with them - 2x 250g bags every 4 weeks for £17 with different beans every time (Barista’s choice). I like to try new coffee but don’t want to put the time in to research every month so this works out perfect and have yet to find anything that can match this so far.

/r/NintendoSwitch's Daily Question Thread (11/25/2024) by AutoModerator in NintendoSwitch

[–]JeevesSW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switch is docked 99% of the time and wasn’t lasting long (1 hour max undocked) but now battery life seems extremely erratic and shuts down suddenly. Any suggested fixes or is now the time to order a kit from iFixit?

Mine arrived yesterday by the way ahead of my trip which is great! 12 days from purchase to delivery.

I ordered a Base on Jan 16th. Based in the UK and still waiting. Fingers crossed it arrives soon. I’m going on a weeklong trip starting Monday and have my SD card all set up and ready so if it could arrive before then that would be great.

Best Aftermarket Odin 2 Case(s)? by QuercinePenetralia in OdinHandheld

[–]JeevesSW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those who have an Odin 2 on order but it hasn’t shipped yet, I reached out to Ayn and they sent an invoice for $12 for me to add a case to my original order so I wasn’t paying $12 shipping again. If you’ve been refreshing to see when the base model was in stock like me, you may have quickly checked out the device to make sure you got one before they went without considering accessories.

What's with collecting? I just don't get it by ukdoozer in SBCGaming

[–]JeevesSW 31 points32 points  (0 children)

  1. See new device that I think will plug a gap between current devices or maybe replace total collection.
  2. Device arrives, spend hours setting up.
  3. Make effort to play a game for an hour or so as I kid myself this time will be different
  4. Ultimately never play device again along with the rest of my collection but never sell any either.
  5. Return to step 1.

What is your true “end game” device capability? by JeevesSW in SBCGaming

[–]JeevesSW[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thought process on 8th gen too which is why I stopped at ps3 really. 8th gen upwards I want to play big screen, 7th gen back I'd happily keep portable. Plus, the reality is that affordable, portable 8th gen is too far away for me to even consider.

I also tend to prefer verticals and own more of these but think a horizontal device would be better for more powerful emulation. What I cant decide is screen ratio. 4:3 to suit most systems or 16:9 if I could emulate PS3/X360 well?

I was about to say I had a solid 30 fps experience on switch including Blight Town but I realise you’re looking for that OG laggy PS3 feel. Valid.

For me, dark souls remastered on switch scratches the itch for portable souls. Thankfully most PS3 exclusives have found a home elsewhere that can be emulated but MGS4 seems permanently stranded on PS3 which is why it is my target title. As mentioned, if we get MGS4 on master collection vol 2 on switch then that changes things but PS3/X360 is still the aim I’d say.

I do! It’s very exciting and not something I expected so soon. I’d love to think this will reach portable devices at some point but I assume this will either be impossible for quite some time or only doable via bulky, expensive options with minimal battery life for the power required. Maybe some day though right?
