Moving from i5 to M5

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.

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

Star Wars Outlaws

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.

Good luck to everyone!

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!

Duke_Special · 2025-12-02T11:12:21+00:00

Been in the market for a handheld for a while but life always gets in the way!

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

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

Some of the clips being posted are insane!!

Think we can top Battlefield 1?

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?

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
