The new Affinity Studio 3.0 is here. The good: all the core functionality from Affinity 2.0 is now free! (yay!)
The bad: it all now requires a Canva account, and there are new subscription based generative AI features. (boo!)
macOS and Windows for now, iPad "coming soon"

Happy new Taylor Swift music day to all who celebrate! I just finished my first listen and I get big “Lover” vibes, like this is the album she would have released after that if COVID hadn’t happened.
As a Folklore/Evermore/Anthology type of guy, this just mostly isn’t my cup of tea, but it is fun!

Everyone is talking about the Battlefield 6 beta - and I’m sure for good reason, it looks great! But honestly the new release of the week for me is easily Apex Legends for Switch 2.
60 fps, HDR, amazing performance and clarity in portable mode. This is easily my new favorite way to play #gaming

With Christmas over, so begins the best week of the year - the no man’s land between Dec 26 and Jan 2, where productivity is meaningless and the points don’t matter. Enjoy, everyone.
