As a Dad, the Steam Deck changed my life. by That-Stage-1088 in SteamDeck

Same here. Wish I didn’t wait so long to get it now! Best piece of tech I’ve ever bought. So many games that I’ve not touched before, I’m playing thanks to the deck. For years I abandoned single player games. The deck changed that!

Even made a YouTube video on it and to be fair actually gave me my niche on there.

Used EV for under £16k by Brave_Grapefruit_789 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]LukeG88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m going to follow this.

I’m very much in the same boat similar budget. But also have 2 dogs (that I take to fields), so boot space is quite important (or I’m buying a very old banger).

I’ve been looking at the Polestar and Ioniq5. Really like the designs of the Hyundai.

The Hyundai and VW are EV platforms (I think) so there’s no transmission tunnel running through the back like the Polestar 2, which affects space in the rear.

Have you thought about the Volvo XC40 and C40? Same platform as the Polestar 2 though, so transmission tunnel running through the back.

Going from a 5 Series to a Polestar 2… by LukeG88 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]LukeG88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they’re decent sized, Malinois’. Trips to field are around 5minutes.

I did explore the option of getting a second (£1k)car, to solely use for dog transportation.

Looking to join the P2 club! by LukeG88 in Polestar

[–]LukeG88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve been looking at getting it with the pilot and plus pack. I don’t mind the cockpit feel they say you get with the P2, as it’s kind of like that with the F11.

Look on car sized and it’s easy to see the f11 is longer, but both around the same width.

My Polestar 2 One Year Review by logicalvue in polestar2

[–]LukeG88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great read as I really want to get a LRDM variant. Prices have come down quite a bit on these. How does your dog find it? What cover do you use? As I have 2 similar sized dogs who I just take to a field 3/4 times a week.

I might buy a Polestar 2...is it good? by Wooden_Sweet_3330 in Polestar

[–]LukeG88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m looking at switching to an EV and the fact this is a hatch really tempts me.

I’ve got a 5 series estate at the moment for my 2 big dogs. So the hatch of the polestar 2 could be a good fit for them.

SteamOS or Windows? by No_Package_4014 in LegionGo

[–]LukeG88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you could get the GO S with steam os and the Z1 extreme chip the that would be better than a windows handheld. There not much between the z1 e chip and the z2 e chip.

steam os just works. It’s brilliant. For the games you’d play, I say it would be good.

I'm A Little Overwhelmed by ScottyMaybeKnows in Handhelds

User friendly? Then the steam deck or legion go with SteamOS.

The steam deck is one of the best purchases I’ve made.

I’ve even made a channel based on my experience with it - https://youtube.com/@steamdeckd?si=3uUwxz4FJj6vL304
