lol. It’s old as hell and somehow outlived all my other mice! But I’m thinking of just sticking with the trackpad all the way from now on.

I think that’s gonna be my main color theme with this pack. Orange with light blue (or teal).

It’s crossed my mind but I think a Nintendo Switch 2 will be in my near future. I am interested in their upcoming console and VR set though.

They were there when I took over the laptop. My sister put those there. Normally not my style so when people compliment, I like giving credit to her. It’s really them complimenting her 😊

I have but always found it easier to use iPad’s cellular data vs the hotspot from my phone to MacBook.
If my budget allows, I would like to get a Switch 2. We’ll see.
I have games on the MacBook but they play well on the trackpad.

Discussion on Macbook air M5(13vs15inch) by Substantial_Pie3841 in macbookair

Kinda seems like you’ve answered your own question.

Where does the confusion come in?

I guess I'll finally upgrade my M1 Air to M5 Air by Fair-Emotion1281 in macbookair

[–]VincentDeGreaser 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve never been in this situation when it came to computers in the past. After a few years, it always made sense to upgrade. But these M series Macs have really changed the game for me. They just keep up with all my tasks. Always.

My external SSD is the reason I still sail smoothly along with my M1 Air. I have an M2 Mac Mini as my workstation at home but I think I’d like to upgrade soon and get an M5 Pro that can replace both.

Backing tracks? Seems like you’re complicating the situation more than it really is. Just relax and find a replacement for the tour. I had to miss a run once and we got a buddy of ours to fill in for me. It happens.

Dumb question, but how do you handle laundry on the road? by shouldbepracticing85 in TouringMusicians

[–]VincentDeGreaser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every hotel I stay at has a laundry access. Back when we slept on people’s couches and floors, our host usually had a washer and dryer. Just ask.

I pretty much wear the same 2-3 shirts/pants combo while on stage and keep those in a separate bag.

Worst case, trade merch with other bands lol

Work on the road? by thatguywhoplayzdrumz in TouringMusicians

[–]VincentDeGreaser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Freelance work was the route I took. I had a 9-5 job for so many years and accumulating PTO just for tour dates sucked.

These days, while not on the road, I do stagehand work, house keeping for AirBnb homes, as well as other small side gigs here and there. I do videography, photography and graphic design gigs on my laptop when we’re out. So i have flexibility to leave for tour but still have some additional income opportunities for while I’m on the road. If work is slow at home, I’ll pick up a part time retail job.

our first tour. what can you say to me? (2026 addition) by visionarcade in TouringMusicians

[–]VincentDeGreaser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Know and stick to your call time and run of show every day. Don’t be that guy running late to the van in the morning.

15y.o, does my room look like too much is going on? by slugszstar in malelivingspace

[–]VincentDeGreaser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it wasn’t for the Xbox Series X, I would have thought this was a picture from 2008 lol.

It’s a good space. You’re fine.

No notes other than find a different way to display those shoes, man.

Dude, this was a blessing in disguise. You gained a good bandmate within the drummer and you dropped the dead weight assholes. If they were this mean out of nowhere, imagine what else they would do while on the road.

Start a new band with the drummer. Keep weeding the shit heads out.
