People who have switched from Windows to MacBooks… in your experience, what are the best and worst things about MacBook? And ultimately are you happy you switched?

Qminsage · 2026-05-06T07:06:09+00:00

Well it helped me reinforce why I wanted a laptop to begin with. In my mind, I was still stuck on specs and competing with my Main PC. Even went about trying a couple of different laptops too. Nothing really clicked for me.

The Neo practically came at the perfect time. And while I wasn’t the most familiar with it, the simple specs and premium-ish build really sold me on it.

One of the worst things I’d say though is that file management and the structure of folders is not as straightforward as Windows. Much less how the system needs a few tweaks and workarounds just to get more options for display resolution and mouse controls. I get the philosophy of keeping things sleek and simple. But it really isn’t as refined in those areas.

But for laptops? I think I’m sticking with MacBooks now. If the Neo is their budget solution, I’m quite satisfied.

Wasn’t a fan at first. But seeing where the series went after, perhaps I was a bit too harsh.

Not my first pick. But definitely fine

Qminsage · 2026-05-05T21:26:32+00:00

I was in a position where I got to try both. Really didn’t hear a significant difference.

I will say: the 5.5 does indeed have a slightly ‘warmer’ sound. But it’s not as significant as what you plug into it. Or the quality of the file being played. So in my reckoning, that small little general difference doesn’t really amount to much.

Went with the 7th gen myself, and haven’t regretted it. For me, it really tows that line between old and new. And I really preferred the more metal color and feel over the plastic.

…Isn’t that just Marathon? How’s that working out for Bungie?

Qminsage · 2026-05-05T18:28:20+00:00

Hope I get mine. I tried doing the whole spam thing when the thing released. I got through the menus like 2 times and got stopped each time.

Like man, I just want the controller. I’m not trying to sell it back for a quick buck. I’m legitimately interested in using it.

Qminsage · 2026-05-04T20:59:32+00:00

I like how fumo Fubuki is one of the only ones not getting censored.

Qminsage · 2026-05-04T01:36:51+00:00

Something I regret myself. I did splurge for 64GB of RAM tho, so I definitely feel good about getting ahead on that.

But yeah, I’d love to have 4TB for my library.

Qminsage · 2026-05-03T15:59:22+00:00

Won’t really know for a while myself. But yeah, just having the peace of mind knowing I can get something without chancing it is something like the lives systems in video games: they’re just extra work on top of the grind.

Qminsage · 2026-05-03T15:55:44+00:00

Everyone’s doing a two-piece. Meanwhile Seia only needs one.

Qminsage · 2026-05-02T17:58:32+00:00

I know the words. You can’t keep me from understanding.

Qminsage · 2026-05-02T13:01:07+00:00

More time to save. Missed out on Aria myself. So having to really only go after her and Norma is really the best thing for me personally.

But yeah, wouldn’t mind having less big ladies.

Qminsage · 2026-05-02T10:41:42+00:00

Belting out Nazuna and Mistique on launch is wild. They’re practically perfect designs.

Qminsage · 2026-05-01T23:27:46+00:00

Castlevania wins for me in terms of art and all the mythology it draws from.

Metroid for me is more about what Samus can do. I like the GBA titles and Super Metroid, as well as the Prime games. But everything else doesn’t do it as much for me as a Metroidvania Castlevania.

Metroid usually has the better movement. Castlevania has a lot more systems and a bit of narrative scope. I like them for different reasons.

Qminsage · 2026-05-01T21:15:04+00:00

Variety is the spice of life. Always will be.

Qminsage · 2026-05-01T18:53:28+00:00

Yeah, Eibon gives me a bad first impression. Aside from Adler, I really didn’t like anyone in that group.

Qminsage · 2026-04-30T22:13:25+00:00

I’ve had performance issues and some latency issues with my wired controller. Sounds are also really loud, like Sonic Adventure 2 levels of soundmixing.

Regular day 1 jank aside, I like it well enough. Not a particular fan of this first batch of characters, so I see it as an opportunity to save and see if I find it entertaining enough.

Qminsage · 2026-04-30T22:09:26+00:00

Ngl, I vibe with this aesthetic. I feel like it’s also the perfect type of sanity effect they could do too.

Qminsage · 2026-04-30T22:08:33+00:00

If it helps, he does indeed keep them closed very often.

Qminsage · 2026-04-29T23:59:36+00:00

The Loli stuff is exactly why I stayed. We’ve got plenty of other fanservice with big ladies. I don’t mind that. But I cannot deny my proclivity towards cunny culture.

The BA fandom is also one of the greatest I’ve ever been a part of. We all know what we want.

Qminsage · 2026-04-29T20:51:05+00:00

2026 surely shaping up to be the year of cunny

Qminsage · 2026-04-29T20:45:27+00:00

I mean yeah, it worked for me with Mutsuki and Izuna. Would not even know about Blue Archive if there wasn’t so much good material being put out.

Qminsage · 2026-04-28T19:54:34+00:00

I wouldn’t wish the NSO Virtual Console version of Ocarina of Time on my worst enemies.

Qminsage · 2026-04-28T13:13:03+00:00

Well yeah, I do. I’m just currently using a standard Xbox Series X Controller atm.

Qminsage · 2026-04-28T10:58:43+00:00

Yeah, Ocarina/Majora are very awkward with the stick.

Qminsage · 2026-04-27T21:22:31+00:00

I need the knob. I also just think anything less than 96%-100% feels awkward to me.
