Chose A Refurbished M3 MacBook Air over A New iPad Pro to Replace My Old One.. Because It Was Cheaper!?

My trusty iPad Pro of 5 years has finally been seeing its end of life. I've used it for everything, from working and gaming, to music production and a trusty comic book reader. Well, after a half-decade of rough use, the cracks in the screen and unresponsive touch have made me realize that it wasn't going to be with me for much longer. So (with a nice tax return check), I decided to bite the bullet and preemptively look for a replacement iPad Pro. And man... with the new Magic Keyboard and accessories, the new iPad would've run me close to $1600. While that sat heavy in my heart, especially for something I really didn't 'need', I decided to jump on the Apple Refurbished website to see if I could cut that price down. Lo and behold, looking at the prices, I was seeing that the price of actual MacBooks was about the same, if not cheaper than the iPad I wanted. I came across a 2024 M3 MacBook Air in black that was around $1000 with all the bells and whistles I was trying to replicate in an iPad. So… I just bought the MacBook Air instead. The ONLY caveat to…

Yoshi Vintage Is Poppin’ Out With A Banger: “Alpha”

Yoshi Vintage is a rising force in the underground hip-hop scene, blending raw lyricism with cosmic beats and fearless vulnerability. Hailing from Miami, Florida, she’s carved out her own lane with a sound that’s equal parts nostalgic and futuristic—infused with boom-bap soul, trap grit, and lo-fi elegance. Her music is a masterclass in duality: playful yet introspective, aggressive yet poetic. Yoshi first caught the attention of tastemakers with her 2020 breakout single “Yamaya,” and since then, she's dropped a steady stream of genre-defying projects that challenge hip-hop norms and elevate femme energy. With influences ranging from Missy Elliott and OutKast to Erykah Badu, Yoshi Vintage stands as a modern-day alchemist—transforming her experiences, heritage, and healing journey into magnetic tracks that hit hard and linger long. Whether she’s performing live or vibing in the studio, one thing is clear: Yoshi Vintage isn’t just next up—she’s already here.

I got that 'thing'—that drive. I want more. The goal post go back... "Oh, we're in the endzone?" Move 'em back again. There's another level. How am I doing? I woke up,  so now everybody else is f*cked... because I woke up. That’s how I look at it. You all had a chance until I woke up. Today is mine. That’s just what it is.

After Almost A Decade, I’ve Finally Made The Purchase To Step Into ‘No Man’s Sky’

When i first heard the pitch for No Man's Sky, I felt like it was the game i'd been waitng for all my life. But when it came out, the reviews were less than kind. A lot of the promised gameplay was absent or broken so i refrained from getting it. In the meantime, Bethesda releases 'Starfield', and if you know me, you'd know that it's been my top game for the last two years. Even with the bad reviews, it satifsfied my itch for shipbuilding, base-building and a lot of customization for traveling the cosmos. But after 2 years, and very little updates for Starfield, I've been looking for something else to satisfy that itch. Looking back at No Man's Sky, it seems like all the improvements they've made are good enough to me to drop $60 on it. I'm hoping this becomes a good Starfield replacement until Bethesda adds more content.
