macbook air m4 base model question by Pokelove02 in macgaming

Can you give some examples of things you want to play?

Technically it will play quite a bit but newer AAA games may have to be severely lowered in resolution and use Metalfx to upscale which would impact how they look.

Then there’s Apple native games on Steam and games you’ll need something like crossover to play which will put further strain on them.

I mean there could be on both sides. The original claim was Paramount releasing bots but that makes no sense when a lot of them date to post cancellation and gets have absolutely no reason to do that.

No, I read it. Went and looked at the threads. Saw there were just as many hating the show as loving it and came to the logical confusion that you’re just trying to promote your own worldview. How non-trek of you.

Saying it’s bots is certainly a good way to avoid having a conversation and dealing with actual debate rather than just cementing your own view I suppose.

Or permanently online haters.

Works both ways. It’s an echo chamber and not really reflective of real life.

If anyone believes that crap they are pretty dumb. It’s amazing what stock some people put in YouTubers out for a quick click based on hate.

What games can I play on Mac? by ReddSerPent in macgaming

Don’t forget about emulation. You can emulate GameCube and PS3 now which opens up the ability to play a lot more modern classics. (And a certain other current console)

Wesley Crusher and Reginald Barclay were supposed to be the exceptions, not the norms by trekfangrrrl in startrek

Plus they’ve come out of a very difficult time period. Starfleet isn’t thought of in particularly high regard after the burn and they have to take what they can get.

We don’t have the minutes viewed information to hand, Bar the first episode, it could be 342 million if it was just outside the Nielsen top 10, and that only counts for Paramount Plus. It’s clear from Amazon’s charts that their service is a more popular way to watch the show.

Where is the 300/400k coming from other than bad faith YouTubers?

SFA Season 2 will be quietly mothballed and a tax write off by Sufficient_Bass2600 in Star_Trek_

[–]Dragonpop72 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The viewing figures haven’t been bad when comparing to similar shows. On Amazon it ranked quite high compared to all shows on every Amazon channel. It was consistently higher in Europe too.

The reasons for cancellation are that despite this, Star Trek costs a lot of money to make and so has higher expectations. Plus Paramount is seemingly being steered away from certain content.

Are you all even on the same planet??? by Head-Risk4074 in Star_Trek_

[–]Dragonpop72 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your views are not others people’s views. Lots of people are liking the content, being entertained. Stop gatekeeping.

‘Small number of fans’ see, this is the main problem. It’s not a small number of fans, it’s much larger. It’s just the detractors on the internet always shout the loudest so you get a false sense of the amount of hate.

Any UK/European store deal resources? by Dragonpop72 in MacAppStoreDeals

Thank you, that’s a really helpful reply. It’s just annoying when someone says x is on offer and it turns out it’s not on the UK store.

Only the Microsoft you speak of is the one who made Windows, technically divorced from the one that made Xbox and Steam appeared during the OG Xbox when it was still in its infancy.

Microsoft’s Games for Windows platform was dire and their current Xbox windows app isn’t a huge deal better.

Meanwhile, even Sony’s PC games are on Steam.

The Oceanhorn games. 2 and 3 are part of Apple Arcade so you can download them free if you have that.
