so neat.

Lol, is it April Fool’s day?

Ah, thanks for the explanation!

Got it! Thanks for the explanation!

Is this a good thing I’m looking at or a bad thing? I don’t get it but then again, I’m not a programmer.

If I makes you feel any better, I give a shit.

I think at the release of 6.0 they said they were planning for at least another 10 years of content.

Caster makes sense. And true, a ranged physical would round things out! Will be interesting to see, that’s for sure! I think it would be cool if we got a physical healer or a melee range magic user. Always wished bards were more bard-y and that we had a heavy armor healer (like a DnD cleric). Guess it would be hard for them to implement a pure support class though and I know Yoshi-P really wants classes to be readily identifiable by their gear. That said, tanks in bikinis don’t really fit that bill so I feel like that’s not even a valid argument anymore.

Damn. Now I feel old.

What new jobs are we getting?

True, it’s not an Apple computer. But for me the thing that always drew me towards macOS was the OS. The hardware is an added bonus in that it was solid and sturdy. Except when it wasn’t. When something went wrong, that was a pain because of the walled garden that Apple had built. No way to fix it by yourself (often) so off to the Apple Store goes for a 1-2 week turn around time.

I definitely have heard your experience before though. People build them and then want to set it and forget it. Definitely can’t do that with a hackintosh. With a little attention over the years though it’s been a good experience and fairly robust for me.

Sad it can’t be maintained forever and will make the jump back onto Apple silicon when this machine goes but glad I dipped my toe in these waters.

What about: Lemmy.wehavebeans?

Fair enough and you raise a valid point. I ended up building a hackintosh, which is going five years strong now, so I could upgrade parts as desired/when needed. I love it and am sad that it’s probably only going to be able to stay up to date on software for another year or two.

It wasn’t painless but I didn’t find it too taxing either. Apple made the partioning process fairly straight forward and ever gave us the appropriate drivers to ge two does up and running. The most annoying part was waiting for windows to install the latest service pack.

I’ll give you that, you had to upgrade the whole box. Doesn’t change the fact that if you had one with a decent gpu that you could still game with it.

I’ve been a Apple MBP owner since 2008 and a Mac user as far back as I can remember. The argument that macs can’t game always ticked me off because if you had any of the pro models (e.g. a dedicated gpu), from a hardware perspective this demonstrably wasn’t true. Install boot camp and a copy of windows and games ran without barrier. It’s just that most developers didn’t produce games to run natively on Mac so therefore gamers didn’t buy macs. Ergo “can’t”game on a Mac.

Prig has turned around. His march didn’t last long.

Well that aged like milk.

Agreed.
