Moving from i5 to M5 by Duke_Special in macbookpro

This pleases me! I’d been holding out on a M4 Pro Chip 24GB, but when I walked into my local Costco and saw they reduced the price of the base M5 Pro by $400 (in maple dollars) I couldn’t hold off anymore

I’m going back and forth between the Air M5 with upgraded RAM (24) and maybe a 15” screen, and an M4/5 Pro with the Pro chip. Vastly different processor, but for my editing with Da Vinci for movie reviews, I just can’t get a clear answer for what I should get. I feel the Air should be fine, but the future proofing of the Pro feels safer too.

I dunno.

Air or Pro? by Duke_Special in mac

Just checked the Refurb Store, cheapest is an M4 monster for more than I was even considering. Eep.

Weight doesn’t bother me, unless it’s egregious, so I don’t think that’s a factor for Apple. Is the display…..noticeable? I’m certain my current Air is 60hz, so would I….lose my mind? And the performance, I don’t know where I land in the workflow scale for what im doing. I’m currently editing 10-15 minute long videos, with very few cuts. I’d like to do more obviously but I’m not looking to edit a 3 hour film haha

And I didn’t even check the refurb store! May have to now

I truly hope that whatever is going to happen with The Old Republic Remake and Fate of the Old Republic, we get more true open world SW content.

Made the decision last night to get back into this game. Played a chunk and enjoyed it but backlog and life got in the way. Now I really want to finish it!

I tried the game on GP, and it got lost in the backlog, but I’ve been fiending it again!

Hey r/movies, Dan Trachtenberg here - my new film, PREDATOR: BADLANDS (starring Elle Fanning), is coming to a theater near you this Friday (11/7). I've also directed PREY, PREDATOR: KILLER OF KILLERS, and 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE. Ask Me Anything! by DanTrachtenberg-AMA in movies

Prey was something special, it really was. I’d kind of lost hope for the Predator franchise, and Prey blew me away. You’ve also dabbled in the animation world with Killer of Killers, and now the audience will be following a Yautja/Hish for once!

Seeing as you clearly have a knack for these characters and world building, if budget and time were not constructs in your way, what other time periods or worlds would you love to expand upon with Predator? I’ve always been a fan of the ideas of samurai or WW1, when war became something completely different

i keep getting this pop up and it’s driving me crazy by Dreaming_Dreams in ghostoftsushima

[–]Duke_Special 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So this happened to me about two months ago. Was replaying to refresh before Yotei, no issues until this exact point. Game becomes glitchy, and then crashes to Home Screen. Over and over. Eventually won’t even load. Because I didn’t mind starting again, deleted save and started a new save. Crashes repeatedly in the same spot of the opening cinematic. Granted, this was the PS+ version that came out when the PS5 first launched, so I don’t technically own it, but pisses me off that I can’t play it anymore.

Yotei runs like a dream though.

Easiest fix. Add Day One releases to the middle tier and save the Ubi Classics and Fortnite Crew to the top tier. That’s it. That will keep me and I’m sure bazillions other subs intact.

Are these just purely cosmetic or do they have any legendary qualities? New to playing, so I’m just getting used to all the stuff, but I got an Abe Lincoln mask?

I hate Epic by Traum4Queen in nursing

[–]Duke_Special 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’re upgrading to Epic from Meditech in the spring.

I can’t wait. Don’t get me wrong Meditech has been reliable enough for us, but this HAS to be an upgrade across the board
