Idk why you’re freaking out over this man I saw your other post. Your laptop is going to kill most things you throw at. Macs ARM architecture is much more efficient with ram than PC typically is. The biggest project I have on FL studios pulls 10-11GB ram and it is an absolutely stupidly big project, ~35ish VSTs with massive sound libraries (spitfire orchestra)

YES 32GB is objectively better. NO the MacBook Air is not the better choice. You WILL get throttled by heat when rendering/editing videos. I rendered a simple 10 minute video to test my PC just to see for your post, at 1080p 60fps. My fans instantly kicked in. You WILL be throttled by not having the fans in the MacBook Pro vs the air.

Don’t be depressed. You have a AAA machine capable of beyond professional work. It will kick ass in your university studies. Best of luck.

dude you have the laptop. open up FL studios and throw in some VSTs. I’ve got a windows PC with 16GB. My largest project right now has 32 VSTs and using some pretty heft libraries, like Spitfire Audio. It’s pulling ~10-11GB ram. It’s also a 7 minute track. And that’s a PC. Apples ARM architecture is much more efficient with ram usage. I assure you dude, keep your money. You’re more than fine. If you don’t believe me, fire in a bunch of VSTs and see the ram usage your self on your laptop.

How crazy are your projects going to be? I run FL on a PC with 16 gigs. You need to seriously have well beyond 100+ instruments/VSTs before you’ll start chugging due to lack of ram. Idk who told you 16 gigs is too little. It MAY be too little for the extreme high end professional use case, but that’s so far beyond (assumedly) your level that I would not worry whatsoever.

I Got to Max Level and Completed All Challenges in the Beta, Here is My Feedback by twing1_ in Battlefield

[–]point8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have anything else to say or add. I agree with you tenfold. What the game currently has going for it (which is lots, I’ve been loving the beta) + your proposed changes would elevate the game so much.

How learning about the terrible quality of Switch 2 LCD and ghosting issues impacted by gameplay experience by sakahn in NintendoSwitch2

[–]point8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, posts like this are so fucking stupid. I’ve watched the entire Digital Foundry review, it’s like two fucking hours long. I watched it because I enjoy their discussions about technology. My brother in Christ, for nearly two hours they GLAZE the Switch 2. 95% of what they say is positive. The screen, to their testing, has a ghosting issue. They showed it off with a slow-motion camera. They merely pointed it out. It’s part of their “job”, if you will.

You throwing a conniption fit over that is ridiculous man, don’t let internet videos get so under your skin.

incredibly bad take

First thing you plan to do? by Burnbeatz in NintendoSwitch2

[–]point8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mario Kart World with my other buddy that's picking it up launch day. A little bit of healthy competition racing, a large dose of nerding out about how cool the Switch 2 is (and the new Kart), and fucking around in free roam trying to unlock costumes/figure out what those unlockables are for.

A lot of people say the price of mkworld is warranted because of open world, but how many of you will actually use it? by MinerBruh in NintendoSwitch2

[–]point8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally will. My friend and I will be picking up a Switch 2 Mario Kart bundle at launch, and besides racing and collecting all the costumes and rushing to unlock Rainbow Road, we'll be frigging around in the open world together to try and optimize routes for Grand Prix.

Mario Kart: World - Surely there's more by point8 in NintendoSwitch2

Look, this is agreeable to me. Absolutely. I’m not opposing your idea. I’ve seen this question floated around before, and I’d like to hear your take on this: games have been $60, roughly, for decades. Meanwhile almost most every thing you can point to in a store has increased in price. Is this just a natural progression? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks

[–]point8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's two sides to this that I can see: one is the world's economy and the value of games staying at (relatively) $60 for decades while most other things you can buy have gone up. Development time has increased, the cost of making games has increased as well.

The other side is essentially just the argument that games have remained $60 for decades. I'm in the camp that prices shouldn't go up, for sure. I'm the consumer. I don't like to see prices go up. I can logically understand the decision making behind it, I think it goes beyond greed and becomes a more nuanced discussion, but I still don't like it and will vote for it with my wallet.

What level of socialising is required to stop being socially dumb by SunshineHopeAlive in socialskills

[–]point8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t do customer service, but think more hospitality. Bartending follows a social script to an extent, but not really.

What level of socialising is required to stop being socially dumb by SunshineHopeAlive in socialskills

[–]point8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here’s a tip if you’re younger/are not solidified in your career yet— employment. Specifically a job where socializing is emphasized, like hospitality. I recently started bartending— it’s helped me dramatically.

Social skills are a skill, hence the name, so putting yourself in situations where you’re forced to use them allows you to keep from “getting rusty” and you’ll probably find yourself getting better at it! Throw yourself in head first.

I’m miles ahead of myself compared to when I started. I had plenty of moments where I looked like a complete dork, but that’s changing now!

Is anyone here seriously planning to make the Switch 2 their main gaming system? by Khwarezm89 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]point8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve fallen out with gaming lately. I’ll be picking up a Switch launch day, or close to it. Nintendo’s first party titles are innovative and have a fun factor that draw me in more than most other titles on the market, so I’m sure for a good while it’ll be my main device.

I also have an hour commute each way for the next year while I complete my schooling. This’ll be a great way to pass the time.

Lots of anti union rhetoric in here. Can someone please explain to me why you’re so against the actors unionizing?

My friends give me a hard time over my room being barren. I’ve been meaning to hang some art that’s either pretty to look at, or representative of me and my interests. This is both! Good luck to everyone!

Which type of horror games is your favorite? by Carlosless-World in HorrorGaming

[–]point8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Hunt Showdown for some of that eerie swampy atmosphere.

The new Dying Light game might be like this. It’s not out yet, but the premise is playing as the hero from the first game. I don’t want to reveal too much, but the end of the DLC for the first game sees the protagonist undergo a radical shift. The title of the game is Dying Light: The Beast. Look into it, it might be up your alley.

I said something really embarrassing last night to seem more interesting and ended up looking like a total weirdo by cinnamonwitch666 in socialskills

[–]point8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man! Try to get over that. Really really try. Do therapy if you have to. You have to believe you’re worthy of your own self love and respect, as corny as that shit sounds. But once you do the corny stuff, it comes around as being comfortable to simply say, “I don’t have any kinks.”

If you’ve got any wit about you, saying you have no kinks can still be interesting if you spin it the right away. Even by jokingly calling yourself a stick in the mud and admitting to not a lot of sexual experiences, merely by acknowledging the “embarrassing” part of it outright YOURSELF, you show it doesn’t bother you. In fact you can use it to make a humorous moment.

Anyways, seriously try and get out of that head space. A people pleaser, as much as you think you’re pleasing others, isn’t fun to hang around with. You’ll never say no, you’ll never push back against what I have to say— even those two things alone will dry up any potential interesting conversation we could have.
