Stay away from the companies requiring their own game store / "club" (i'm looking at you Rockstar) account and you're likely to be fine.

> I refuse to play Baldurs Gate 3 on a controller

I think you picked as an example one of the games that actually has a native Mac version?

Or is it a well hidden wine package? I've played it start to finish on Macs only and it looked too smooth to be emulation to me.


> at least 16 Gigs of RAM at minimum.

And the minimum is pretty minimum. A 16 Gb arm mac will go into yellow memory pressure while running emulated games, I've noticed.


How well do soulsbornes run on windows anyway?

My strong conviction is that From is pretty much technically inept when it comes to Windows ports so I just play their titles on console...

An emulated title that is in itself a not so great port will have trouble ofc...


it works on asahi without issue. that is with x86 to arm translation, directx to vulkan translation, windows to linux translation and 4k page to 16k page translation running in a virtual machine.

as for how well fromsoft games run on windows you might have been right 12 years ago when dark souls 1 came out initially. it was a mess at the time, but souls games have been running just fine on windows(and linux for that matter) for years. it's only on macos that it is a mess. this has nothing to do with fromsoft and everything to do with macos.


Anyone who isn't an "AI" fanatic can and will interpret the title as the sale price :)

They tend to be awarded only to works treating depressing subjects. Or to authors in depressing situations.

When was the last time an Oscar or a literature prize (Nobel but not only) has been awarded to something funny?


The quote needs adjusting for inflation though.

Like that but since the first mention of the quote is in 1945...

£36,268.59 and £36,268,585.70 according to the calculator you linked.


Which Latin script? :)

Everyone on the nearby continent has some accented characters and possibly both English and their national keyboard installed.

Incidentally, this is a major complaint with smartphone OS designers that only speak English and don't realize there are places where people mix languages daily. That predictive spell checker should be configurable to accept more than one language at a time...


And there's no need to be to speak some "obscure" language (from the point of view of the US-centric designers) to hit this issue. iOS got better at mixed french / english, but it still cannot prevent itself from correcting "the" (the english the) to "thé" (french for tea). Oh well.

Curious: any people around who trained themselves to do fine control activities (writing but not only) with their non dominant hand? How did that go?

Being forced in school or because of an accident doesn't count; curious if anyone did it on their own, voluntarily.


My father did it when he was a child so he could "be like his brother" who was 1.5 year older and the favorite son of his mother (this brother was the first male son after a female who was the first overall).

He is now right handed for almost everything but really skilled with the left hand, I remember that once he broke the right wrist and could easily write with the left hand for example.


I have an older sibling who is left Andes and challenged me to use my left hand since they could use both. So I’m at about a typical left handed person’s level of dexterity with their right hand. I switch off on tasks like shoveling or sweeping. I can write badly. Etc. I wouldn’t say it is useful, really.

Rafael Nadal, one of the best tennis players in history, supposedly is a natural righty who was taught to play lefty.

I mean, I'm here typing with my left hand.

The time to stop taking him seriously was when he started his "fear AI, give me the monopoly" campaign.
