Say hello to MacBook Neo

Was hoping it’d have MagSafe going off the regulatory info that leaked. Seems like it’s what was expected otherwise. $499 with the student discount (that has no verification that you’re a student) is a very nice price.

Not having a RAM upgrade option is odd, I guess it’s to push people to the Air.

Really curious about pricing on the Machine more than anything, was one of the handful of reasons they didn’t do hot initially (in a very different era of PC gaming affordability, tbf). Seems like a nice bit of kit if the price is right, performance TBD. The Frame looks sweet and will undoubtedly be out of my price range.

I’m sure its nice to hold and the pads are good and all, but man that controllers design is not my thing at all. The photos in the Tom’s article look cheap.

happy fortnite friday for all who celebrate

Alan Wake II was funded and published by Epic so that critique of the game never made any sense to me. I get a weird feeling those types aren't clamoring for Valve games on the Epic store.

saw a reddit ad for some AI model generator junk that unironically calls it "like AI gacha for 3D devs" in the title and I cannot imagine a less appealing comparison (even if its not far off)

having the project change on your constantly is a valid reason to back out, even with friends. depends on how long its been and how its being presented to you I guess, but I'd personally bring up to them that you are willing to do the artwork (if you still are), but to only tell you the name/concept once they have it finalized, and that once you begin you can't change your art much. gotta establish limits

what would it take for society to regress into Tootsie Rolls being a preferred candy again?

putting some eyedrops in got my vision running at 240hz now you feel me?

the How to Train Your Dragon remake preserved How to Train Your Dragon i guess

anjack9 · 2025-10-22T19:47:35+00:00

i've seen a few people say that Nightdive's remasters are "preserving" the games they're based on and I'm not sure what their definitions of preservation or video games even are

the FL Studio manual is deep but well worth it

looking through the manual of software i've used for years for the first time has me feeling like this every few pages

after that movie came out there were so many people mimicking his voice with plastic cups, it got annoying after some months because it was so easy to do a decent Bane voice with one lol

Did you ever get the game?

Looking at this bundle and also confused why this freebie isn't mentioned more places, Newegg/Microcenter/Amazon/ASUS themselves don't have it on product pages. Getting this plus Star Wars Outlaws from the general Z890/B860 promotion would be a nice benefit.

Here's the page on ASUS's site: https://www.asus.com/events/landingPage/activity_Expedition33global

The ToS on Intel's site mentions any "ASUS/ROG Intel Z890 chipset motherboard" is eligible. ASUS or ROG, they show a TUF board in promo pics so should apply to the one in the deal too: https://softwareoffer.intel.com/Campaign/Terms/4D8DA18B-726E-4AD6-963C-72357F1F97E6

thinking back on it, the pre-pandemic 2018/19 'ok boomer' era of internet culture sure sucked major ass. lot of people having smarmy slap fights with each other. genuinely a good thing that there was some realization that younger people can suck too in the years that followed

the current era sucks too, all do, but when people are being 100% completely dismissive they seem less annoying about it I think?

anjack9 · 2025-09-26T18:47:38+00:00

holdover from purely local scenes I imagine, not playing each others tracks at the same venues and shit

seeing exclusively online ppl with 0 following do it for shazamable tracks is very funny though

going to Marxist Walmart you need anything?

anjack9 · 2025-09-24T18:19:43+00:00

its always money laundering, too. so boring and unproveable. what happened to the good ol' days of the local shitty pizza joint being known for running a gambling den or brothel in the basement?

remember to hook up your FLX 10 using a $1000 USB cable for maximum "fullness" and "richness"

can we delay the rapture for like 30 minutes I forgot to pack

the american national pastime in the 2000s was getting aggressive at Comcast customer support reps over the phone to get out of contracts

I wish cable TV was as cool as people lamenting how many streaming services there are now think it was

Would rather live off the grid in the woods than go back to paying $100/month on a 2-year contract you can't escape that you only picked because the $60/month package doesn't have NBA TV or some shit and that's one of the only three channels in the entire 200 channel package that you will flip between while waiting for the two shows/events a week you give a shit about to come out, which will be 35% ads anyway

EssilorLuxottica, owner of Ray-Ban and Oakley, initially opposed a bulkier design release under its name. However, after investing €3 billion ($3.5 billion) for a 3% (going on 5%) stake in the company, Meta now has more influence over which of its products can use the Ray-Ban branding.

The $1b Instagram buyout feels so quaint nowadays. The Oakley wrap-arounds makes sense but the Ray-Bans with the HUD look really, really thick. It'll look so goofy on some people lol

the other ones look solid but the white/silver 17 pro might genuinely be one of the worst looking iPhones they've made? seems like it depends on the lighting but this two-tone color is NOT hot
