this sounds bad, but i could probably be pretty happy playing nothing but hades, stardew valley, and botw on loop for the rest of my life.

unfortunately one of those games isn't for mac.

mine is a refurbished $1700 m1 pro laptop and it runs total war warhammer 3 (sometimes abbreviated as TWW3, WH3, or tw3) at 60 fps

like i dont even know if thats a good price for a laptop that does that but i didnt even buy it for gaming which is the part that really surprised me

OFF MY MEDS AGAIN PLEASE DON'T USE BIG WORDS

UNNECESSARY LINE BREAK
I'll stick to the superior Mac gaming experience on a hinky machine I got for free:


I had to get a psu and spend an hour recently to fix a heat issue because Apple charges more for stuff that overheats and borks up lots. A couple rubber feet, a clipped off bit from an Amiga 500 heat shield, an a dab of thermal paste and it seems fixed.

Honestly though these days pretty much a decent Android tablet and a Switch gives me like 70% of anything semi new or recent I might want to play plus most emulation and other things a computer does. My PS4 gives me even more and I basically only turn my pc on to play Solasta and Mechwarrior online plus the few machines my Android tablet doesn't have decent emulators for.



That leaves me with money now and then to buy and do dumb things to my Amiga and then just play dungeon crawlers on the Switch that only some times should probably get the developers put on some kind of Sex Offender list. (I want to go through dungeons and bash monsters so numbers go up, not engage in creepy rubbing minigames. I want to make my parties of mostly old rear end adults and their kids, not read tons of text screens from underage anime girls. Is it too much to ask? Let me fill in my automap and quit trying to market games to Libertarians.)

Uhh.. have fun with your M1 I guess though?

The M1 and its variants is pretty cool IMO because Apple took the ARM64 architecture and turned it into something that swings close to Intel and AMD’s premium offerings.

It’s like someone taking the squart guy, dressing him up, educating him, and now he’s hanging out at the Metgala talking international politics with Ivy-league pricks. It rules.

Someone help me find something. There was a parody commercial I probably saw here like 10-15 years ago, it was a mac commercial in the "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" format with two guys and the dorky one is a PC.

Dork guy goes "I'm a PC, and upgrading me is hard. You have to make sure the new parts are compatible, your power source is sufficient, install new drivers, mess with the BIOS/Jumpers..."

Cool guy goes "I'm a Mac, and upgrading me is easy. You just pick me up, throw me in the fuckin' trash, and buy a new one."

I can't seem to find this commercial anywhere though :(
