    IMHO, there’s a card missing saying

    “Waiting a few years that every bug get fixed”

    Another one should be

    “Waiting a few years so that my $100 bucks GPU can run it flawlessly”

    And last but not least.

    “Waiting a few years so that my $2000 MacBook can play it at 30FPS”

    Been playing Cyberpunk 2077 lately, that game is dope. I use Game Porting ToolKit BTW

      As someone with a 1060 in a Proxmox rig and a discounted M2 MacBook air, I felt all of this

        Gotta keep that PC to play some Windows games right?

        I did something dumb that I don’t regret yet, put my PC budget into a more powerful Mac when GPTK came out. I surely can’t play all games but so far I’m really satisfied.

        Running Mixtral-7x8B_Q4 on a laptop wasn’t something I was expecting to be able to do :)

        So I can’t say I got the best gaming rig for sure, but professionally speaking this has been an absolute blast.

        If I remember correctly M1 was about as powerful as a 1050 when it came out (at least on native games). Are you happy with your M2 Air? I managed to play CP77 on my wife’s one, but since it only has 8Gb of RAM it crashed just after the meeting with Jackie Welles.

        TBH, I miss a good macgaming sub on Lemmy. At a least I have an occasion to laugh of myself from time to time

          I’m about 2 weeks in with the MacBook so probably too early to comment! But happy so far so the basic needs are met. Gaming will be mostly emulation and moonlight via Proxmox on my TV. Huge stream backlog so I’m not rushing with modern games 😅
