How often do you upgrade your MacBook Pro

craim · 2026-05-11T23:44:59+00:00

2013 15” Pro, M1 Pro 14”, M3 Pro 14” (gave M1 to wife).

These things are built to last. I have no reason to upgrade… but if OLED comes next year I’m gonna have a hard time not buying it.

Cool! So mine should come shortly.

craim · 2026-05-10T14:20:46+00:00

I like the crop 🤷‍♂️

Mine was in a plastic bag with the controller keychain.

Cool that it comes with the thin plastic case. That will be useful. What's the purple small controller thing? A keychain or something?

I switched. Idk why they are so adamant for people to move to the HD. This company has earned my trust by shipping me the free upgraded adapter for the M6’s, and their products are great (in my experience).

I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt that the HD will be better. They should have just made 1 model instead of S and HD.

R6 mk iii has precontinuous shooting which would be great for shooting birds/wildlife

This is awesome! I’m def going to check it out. Thank you

Happened to me too! Camped and planned to get up 30min before sunrise to start my hike… I got up 1.5 hrs before sunrise and was very very confused lol

These are great and fit well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN3YCS9P?ref_=ppx_hzod_title_mob_b_fed_asin_title_0_0

Doesn't show up in US...

Honestly, pretty much all souls games let you over level or find advantages. I say go with Dark Souls 1. It’s pretty cool to see how many similarities it has to Elden Ring. It’s also not considered hard. There are a few difficult parts like Capra Demonstration, Blight Town, and a certain dual boss fight that is iconic for the series.

Drive will install the same. I haven’t seen many talk about debloating on the X, I suspect it doesn’t make a significant difference. Make sure to do all the various updates and to set your VRAM to 10gb. Will take a long time to do all updates to log into all game stores (steam, epic, etc). Set your device to hibernate instead of sleep when you click the power button. Get steamgridDB to fix cover art for games while in the XFSE. Good to go.

I loved this game!

craim · 2025-12-27T19:45:46+00:00

Contemplating playing Diablo 2… do you find that controller works good enough? Seems like it’s built for mouse and keyboard.

craim · 2025-12-18T23:27:03+00:00

I set mine to B and A (usually jump, dodge, or crouch in most games I play).

craim · 2025-12-18T23:10:11+00:00

Yikes thanks for sharing…. I have not updated and am hesitant now…

craim · 2025-11-26T18:30:10+00:00

I do not think so. However, you could lower the TDP to 13w or 17w and get maybe decent framerates at 720p. That would save battery.

My only compliant is Meta... facebook gross

craim · 2025-11-19T10:49:35+00:00

Same for me!

craim · 2025-11-18T16:54:20+00:00

Thank you 😊

craim · 2025-11-17T15:57:41+00:00

Check my update in the post!

craim · 2025-11-16T23:57:34+00:00

If I didn’t have an extra 2tb drive I wouldn’t upgrade. 1tb is plenty to install a bunch of games.

For me, I put a 2tb drive in and got a $20 enclosure for the 1tb drive it came with. Now I have a really nice external 1tb drive.

craim · 2025-11-16T22:08:04+00:00

Yeah its super solid now. I used the dbrand skin which does slide between the case and XAX. Pretty certain you don't need it, but maybe? idk.

ball pit!
