@blakespot.bsky.socialApple M4 and M5 CPUs are available in top iPad models today.
@blakespot.bsky.socialFor those scratching their head, note that the Apple A14 CPU (in the iPhone 12) was faster per-core than Intel's top end Core i9 10900K CPU. That is why Apple switched Macs to their own ARM-based Apple Silicon (the Apple M1 being an extended version of the A14 SOC).
@blakespot.bsky.socialNo Man's Sky is coming to iOS and iPadOS on October 29!!
Free download will be available with one time in-app purchase for $20, unlocking the full game.

@blakespot.bsky.socialHuh. I guess so.
@blakespot.bsky.socialI did not anticipate, in visiting the UK here in 2026, that by _far_ the internet content I would be seeing most is every website asking for cookie consent and photos of my govt ID at _every_ turn. It's nuts. Such extreme overreach.

@blakespot.bsky.socialI do. I made that to help gauge game performance assessing iOS games. It was pretty handy! They switched to new versions of geek bench is what pretty much caused me to stop. There's no longer a consistent landscape of benchmark numbers as possible. They always felt that was a very poor move by GB.
@blakespot.bsky.socialFuckers.
@blakespot.bsky.social@nomansbsky.bsky.social I think we're gonna need No Man's Surfboard added in, guv!

@blakespot.bsky.social@blakespot.bsky.socialJust being silly here. :-P There is an amazing, intensely nostalgic 10 year anniversary Expedition underway that has restored many of the aspects of the very early game, replacing many hugely evolved current features, including how multiplayer was handled in days long past. It's just lovely. :-)
@blakespot.bsky.social@nomansbsky.bsky.social Bro, what the hell?!
You call this a multiplayer game...and the other players are just balls?? To hell with this!! I've only got 4,500 hours in the game anyway.
I want my money back!!!!
@blakespot.bsky.socialHelluva day, isn't it?
@blakespot.bsky.socialHappy 40th Birthday, Apple IIgs!
