This, it's so relaxing and satisfying.

Also would add Unpacking as well.

Boy hits things with key

That was informative. Thank you! It makes me actually want to experiment. It sounds like the best results are on Sonoma. But I've heard some of the glitches with the software are not in a tolerable state yet. But I'll try the beta when it goes public or when I feel confident about the stability.

The tools for this are interesting. But I think the headline was slightly misleading to be called a Proton-like tool. This is more of a diagnostic tool than a translation layer to play games for troubleshooting than anything else. Even maxed out M2 Ultra devices are only getting like 30-40 FPS on Cyberpunk because of how many resources the tool uses. I personally hope it does incentivize some devs to port to macOS as a primary Mac user. Devs need to see a cost benefit to do it. Apple convincing one dev per year to port a AAA game to Mac is not enough of an effort to actually convince people of anything.

That being said, Apple has had very inconsistent messaging regarding gaming in the past. And Steve Jobs notoriously did not care for gaming. Really, the only gaming success they are having right now is mobile games. And despite on/off rumors of a dedicated gaming device. I would just not be encouraged based on the majority of offerings on Apple Arcade that there would be much worthwhile. The only reason I even have it is because my phone plan includes it. Otherwise I would never touch it.

The new Killer Mike is great (shout out to Australia and New Zealand for already being the 16th). I'm probably going to listen to the Creeping Death album next.

Already heard QOTSA and Royal Thunder since those leaked way earlier and both are really good stoner rock albums.

I regretfully still have mine. Mostly because I love sports and a lot of Twitter accounts I follow for news are still active. And accounts like Wario64 for when things go on sale for games or 4K blu-rays. That said, Elon will never get my fucking money.

Neither will spez.

I don't know if it will be the end. But the quality is likely to go down. The power users were using 3rd party apps. And without a lot of those being around. It's going to go down in quality like Twitter did when Elon acquired it.

What will really kill them is when they officially go public. That will kill the site dead.

It's a website tracking the subreddits that are private. Here is the link: https://reddark.untone.uk/

Have Reddark on a tab. Seems like the number of private subs keeps dropping. :(

Are they caving or is something nefarious up like what happened to r/AdviceAnimals and r/tumblr yesterday?

I was always curious in these. I would follow sites like anythingbutipod back in the day. Cowon was usually the big one that I always wanted to try. But I could never justify the pricing to play lossless audio and also invest in quality headphones to take advantage.

FFXVI, Armored Core 6, Starfield (after that presentation, was highly skeptical before), Mortal Kombat 1, Alan Wake 2, and Spider-Man 2.

I think all of them look great. FFXVI is my most anticipated overall. Ever since it was revealed in 2020 I've been sold on that game.
