    …are… you… fucking trolling?

    Do you not know what a port is? Are you not aware that numerous modern game engines don’t even need to be ported, they just run on multiple platforms?

    Macs being ARM based has FUCKING NOTHING TO DO with there being few games for the platform.

    Apple has never courted game developers. They have never been about absolute gaming power. They’re about developers, media production, and general use audiences. They do not build gaming computers. Any gaming capability is ancillary to their actual business model.

    If a developer doesn’t see a potential ROI on porting a game to Apple silicon, they won’t. It’s that simple.









  • “Fun” story: Upgrading Debian once hosed my system so hard I needed to install a separate OS on another drive so I could copy over my data. An IT pro probably could have figured it out, but for whatever reason the upgrade decided that it really needed to take my hard drive and move it from /dev/sd1 to, I shit you not, /etc/home. No, I do not know why. No, I could not just move it back to /dev/sd1 because it tried to copy the entirety of itself into itself rather than just change a file location. I got to the Debian forum for help and just get the standard abusive incel fuckery in response.

    I think that’s when I moved to SUSE for the first time. Way less shitty community.










  • I don’t use the mouse itself (it’s hell for my RSI) but do use the keyboard and trackpad. I just have a Lightning cable hooked up to the computer and maybe once a week I’ll plug it into one or the other before I go to bed.

    It’s really no different from a phone, smart watch, laptop, tablet, MPC Live, SMG with LiPO, Tesla Roadster, or anything else with batteries that die really quickly. Is the location of the port a dumb wank exercise in “design” over function? Yes, but the whole thing is and that’s the least of its problems. lol
