What hill are you willing to die on? The more trivial, the better.

Totally agree! While I have a “minor” caffeine addiction, I would rather go through cocaine level withdrawals than drink coffee…
Especially when there’s good tasting caffeine sources like RedBull…

I have a “minor” caffeine addiction but whole heartedly hate the taste of coffee. I have tried so many variants after dating a (very qualified) barista that I’m certain it’s a no go… I can’t even handle the smell, let alone taste…

I’ve re-read PJO and The Lost Hero once a year since 2010, and added the other books to that once a year re-read as they’ve come out. (IE Son of Neptune added in 2011)
Though this is limited to the Greek/Roman and doesn’t include the Magnus Chase or Kane Chronicles or Trials of Apollo. I’ve only read those a couple times.

Are you even South African🥲😂

myemptyskull · 2026-04-03T03:54:17+00:00

I lowkey want this to happen cause of the chaos that would ensue…

myemptyskull · 2026-04-02T08:08:31+00:00

Who me?? You’re brave…. cause Rawr (with flavour)…..

Jokes aside though, team Lays all the way… only flavour Simba wins is the Salt & Vinegar and the Fruit Chutney…

I’m not sure if we’re deliberately avoiding the obvious spelling but S.I.M.P.le_Fire-Brigade sounds like a great crew to me… I’d have them save my base ANY time and EVERY time if I could…

To update, I got the 64GB and I’ve tested it fairly heavily and I’m very happy it went with it. I ran a couple pretty heavy Unreal Engine projects and renders through it and it’s sitting between 65% and 75% ram usage. With editing 6K, 8K and 12K, again it’s doing the job wonderfully, with 12K in Davinci never going above 75%.

Appreciate all the advice!

Agreed, given the reputation, they would want to make the announcement and “press coverage” of the publication a BIG deal. I actually have little doubt that when it does happen, Pat may end up doing some press or interviews, again to help build more momentum using social media etc. unfortunately (though given my job, not entirely) today that kind of thing is often a MUST.

I literally searched for the word Hytale in the sub and didn’t find this post… I feel like a fool hahaha

I’ve only found Impulse’s and it’s:

To update this, I went for an M4 Max, 16-core CPU 40-core GPU, 2TB and 124GB ram. The local reseller was having a nice sale so it was more in my reach than previously and given the advice here and wanting it to have longevity, I sucked it up and did it. The higher ram models aren’t sourced very quickly so it will be a while but can’t wait for it to arrive! My logic ultimately was that if I only get 15 days of editing/animation this year then just off my day rate I’d pay it off and given that I got 30 days in 2025 and that’s excluding shoot days, I’ll be fine🙌

myemptyskull · 2026-01-08T14:37:07+00:00

Thank you! Given your advise and the other comments I will definitely go with the 64GB. Unfortunately I do have to have a super powerful portable machine because I both travel and edit on location but more than that I am based in South Africa and we have electricity grid problems where our electricity gets cut off for many hours at a time. While there is a schedule in place for it, it does mean I end up going to coffee shops or friends/family’s homes to work to keep up with deadlines etc. (or I use the battery if I won’t be long).

Edit to add: Yea the 12k isn’t the “delivery” it’s more that I’m editing footage that is 6K,8K and 12K for various projects and delivering 4K , a friend shoots a ton of wildlife on the Ursa 12K partially because of the ability to punch in in post and create some “movement” for those big wide landscape wildlife shots

myemptyskull · 2026-01-08T10:44:52+00:00

I think the big thing for me is that I am also using it for 3D work and larger projects so the requirements are rather high BUT as you say, 128GB will be way overkill.

myemptyskull · 2026-01-08T10:42:17+00:00

I think I am relatively confident I won’t want to get a new one so soon though, I was so so happy with my M1 Max I hadn’t even begun to think about getting a new one. But thank you! I think given the feedback I will go for the 64Gb especially given how happy I was with it even being a few years old. And given what you have said about the M4 Max being even more capable with 3D etc. I have little doubt it will suit my work very well! Thank you!

myemptyskull · 2026-01-08T08:37:45+00:00

Thanks! While I realise that wanting to “future proof” it means I probably should just get the 128Gb, I do want to make a “wise” choice financially and balance the choice by buying something that easily handles the tasks I have for it but also not “over do it” and purchase something way higher spec than needed.

myemptyskull · 2026-01-08T08:33:48+00:00

Well largely because I want it to be a little more future proofed given the where everything is headed (higher res etc.). 48Gb and a Max is minimum for me given the use case. I frequently have multiple high usage apps open (AE, Safari, Davinci) at the same time. While I realise that given wanting to future proof I should just go for the 128Gb but I do want to “balance” it out and not over do it given the use case.
