MacBook Pro M4 Max – One Month Later: Real-World Experience
I’ve been having an amazing time with my M4 Max so far. I have yet to hear the fans properly. Honestly, I almost wasn’t sure if I believe this thing even having fans inside it. I heard them once, very briefly, while copying footage from the machine to my makeshift NAS. It’s weird, especially because…

Female Samurai are Historically Accurate (Ghost of Yotei Controversy)
There are a lot of complaints on Twitter and YouTube about Ghost of Yotei having a female protagonist as a samurai, and honestly, I’m not entirely sure what the issue is. For the record, I have zero interest in either Ghost of Tsushima or Ghost of Yotei, I haven’t played the former and will most…

My Tekken 8 Experience: Navigating Connection Issues and Ranked Play
My overall Tekken 8 experience so far has been a little rough. I honestly haven’t really found the motivation to play more than just on Sundays with my friends and going into Ranked is usually quite the struggle, but not for the reasons you might think.

Mastering Elden Ring: Overcoming the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC Challenges
I have been following the whole discourse about the Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC difficulty with absolute glee and joy.

LinkedIn Insights: Lessons from a Personal Experiment with Engagement
I started writing an article every week on LinkedIn to share shorter versions of my writeups on my personal blog (that’s this one right here). I don’t actually promote or even share my blog however (no plans to change that at this time either); it’s more like a personal log for myself… a semi-annonymous PLOG…

How I Earned the LinkedIn Top Voice Badge: An Experiment
A little over half a year ago, I made a rant video about LinkedIn, and I still stand by everything I said in that video. Absolutely. However, I did realise that I might not have invested enough time into LinkedIn as a social media platform. To address this and possibly change my opinion of LinkedIn,…

Haute42 S16 & T16 – move aside Hitbox Arcade
I have been using my Hitbox since March of 2020 at this point and have been playing with the idea of building my own leverless controller, as I wanted more buttons and not deal with the annoying function button they introduced in one of the firmware updates. For Tekken 8 for example, just to reset…

Keychron M4 4K Wireless Mouse Review: Compact Design Meets Daily Use
I’ve spent a fair bit of time contemplating how to approach this review of the Keychron M4 4K Wireless Mouse. On one hand, its size and weight are intriguing, offering a distinct take in the vast sea of gaming peripherals. On the other, it doesn’t significantly break new ground compared to Keychron’s other lightweight offerings…

Upgrading Mistake: Receiving a 4080 Instead of a 4080 Super
If you’re not up to speed, please feel free to check out my previous post about my NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, 24GB (Gigabyte Gaming OC) dying and being upgraded to a 4080 Super for free. I really hope this is the final update, but here goes. Instead of a 4080 Super, I initially received…

Navigating PC Upgrades: From GeForce RTX 3090 Ti to RTX 4080 SUPER
Today it’s a shorter one as I want to get started properly on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth already. However, I still wanted to maintain my roughly weekly blog posting schedule… I should also increase my once a quarter YouTube video schedule. One thing at a time. As for today, I just wanted to give a…
