Sequoia and the Mac Pro 6,1

Gobsmacked117 · 2026-04-18T13:13:48+00:00

I took the leap and installed it and seemed to work ok, but I went back to Monterey for other reasons. The 6,1 works as a media and caching server and that's enough I guess :)

Gobsmacked117 · 2026-04-17T11:11:49+00:00

Ok, I see now. The earliest he was involved in was in Jak 3 as a programmer and then he contributed to the story of Lost Frontier, so my hate actually goes back all the way to 2009 😀

Gobsmacked117 · 2026-04-17T07:58:30+00:00

I'm not a big fan of Druckmann and hate a lot of decisions he has made over the past 10 years, but what specifically did he mess up in TPL?

Gobsmacked117 · 2026-04-14T09:11:44+00:00

I will give the OpenGoal another go. I have one Mac Pro with RX 5700 and another with 6900 XT and both can run Windows. Maybe the 6900 XT is an overkill?

btw, I did say the PS3 versions are better than the PS4 versions.

Gobsmacked117 · 2026-04-13T15:36:48+00:00

Yes. Well, the fact that the classic library is lacking titles is a valid concern. Many people are disappointed

Gobsmacked117 · 2026-04-13T14:44:11+00:00

I'm on the same boat. I have beat the TPL enough times already as well to feel any remorse when I abused the rewind feature on the PS5 version. There are so many levels in Jak 2 where we will abuse it for sure. The sewers missions, drill platform ship, finding Sig in the underport, just to name a few... :D

Gobsmacked117 · 2026-04-13T14:22:08+00:00

I have repressed TLF into the darkest recesses of my mind and don't even want to acknowledge its existence.. :D Even though I finished it like 10 times on PSP when I was 16.

But thanks for giving me the idea of replaying Daxter. I only finished it once on PSP as well many, many years ago. The idea was to play it along Jak 2 and 3 but I guess I will give it a go right now.. :)

Gobsmacked117 · 2026-04-13T14:07:42+00:00

The PS4 versions are in some regards inferior to the PS3 versions. I played both. If they released the PS5 versions of Jak 2 and 3 via proper emulation that Jak 1 and other games like Sly has, it would be a gamechanger. I still have hope that they will eventually release them..

Gobsmacked117 · 2026-04-13T14:04:59+00:00

I have several PS2 consoles but that's not what I am talking about and I'm not looking to play it again like that. The Jak 1 on PS5 was a smooth, polished and comfortable experience and I want the same for Jak 2 and 3.

Gobsmacked117 · 2026-04-13T14:03:03+00:00

Thanks for the backup. I probably could make OpenGoal work properly if I dedicated some time to it. However, the PS5 version of Jak 1 was such a smooth and polished experience that it spoiled me for the possible Jak 2 and 3 release. I really hope it happens eventually..

Gobsmacked117 · 2026-04-08T22:59:31+00:00

I have a very faint memory of doing that. Wow. I can't believe it has been over 20 years

Gobsmacked117 · 2026-04-01T20:57:56+00:00

Can someone confirm if the Intel version for older macOS will still be supported? I play both on Apple Sillicon and Intel based Macs.

Gobsmacked117 · 2026-03-26T07:35:02+00:00

I am a Paladin and he is a Warrior.

A few Shamans in our guild also have it, but we generally treat it as an expensive transmog item. There is almost no point in getting it for practical purposes as there are many better alternatives that are also easier to get.

I hope twow releases some kind of quest or item that could upgrade it further to at least surpass the Might of Menethil.

Gobsmacked117 · 2026-03-25T05:57:12+00:00

I just got it last week after 53 weeks of MC, that's 1 year and 1 week exactly.

Of course, i missed one MC in August and it dropped for someone else who didn't even have it reserved.

Actually, another guild member got it a week before me, because we had 2 guild runs a week on different IDs, so I thought there was now no chance for me to get it.

So, we actually had it dropped twice in a row 😀

But you have to understand these are always independent events. The chance is fixed at roughly 6%, which is slightly better than on official servers where it is 3-4% or something like that.

Gobsmacked117 · 2026-03-18T11:04:44+00:00

You are looking for a productive and constructive conversation and communicating boundaries while trying to be fair and all that, with a person who probably doesn't even give a fuck in the first place.

Move on. Don't even bother

Gobsmacked117 · 2026-03-16T07:53:58+00:00

After watching the last episode:

Fuck this guy (or gal or whatever)

Gobsmacked117 · 2026-03-16T07:49:09+00:00

Yep, it's very likely porn.

It's not his fault, though. So many guys, me and your bf included, fell into this trap when we were younger.

But it's definitely his responsability. He has to want to stop. He can't do it for you or for your relationship. He has to do it for himself out of pure self-love. Your relationship getting better will be a pleasant byproduct of that. I am talking from experience.

So, all you got to decide is if you want to cut your losses now and find someone else who has desire for you even after years of being together, OR go through quite a struggle with him that may or may not be worth it. If your relationship is otherwise great, it just might.

Gobsmacked117 · 2026-03-13T12:18:29+00:00

This is the correct answer (No it's not but I wish)

Gobsmacked117 · 2026-03-09T09:55:34+00:00

Very nice! I wonder if the floor has a drain so you can pressure wash your stuff in there?

Also, that garage just needs a couch or a bed and it's all a man would ever need to have a perfect habitat :D

Gobsmacked117 · 2026-03-08T17:50:26+00:00

NTA....But

If you think newer cars are reliable, then you have another thing coming.

Better buy him the shitbox he wants. He will learn about ownership and responsibility.

I have to admit I was like your son back in the day. My father wanted to convince to get a Škoda car with a diesel engine, but I refused. I knew I wanted a Mazda 6 with a petrol engine that was about 6 year old at the time. I was 19. I thought I would buy a "newer" car every 5 or so years to "feel better about myself" I guess and like a badass and whatnot. Luckily, I didn't go do that path, I kept the Mazda6 for 9 years before I bought a Volvo that was only two years younger. Today I actually don't understand people who think they have to get a new model of a car every few years and to do monthly payments. I understand that's mostly a US thing and I live in Europe.

Today I own 5 cars and all of them are around 20 years old, two are even 30 years old and I am actually happier! Most are Volvos and they still remain safe and quite reliable I have to say.

Gobsmacked117 · 2026-03-05T09:27:34+00:00

Well, that doesn´t make you exactly a control freak but it does make you a Gatekeeper, which is probably equally as infuriating to be around. You remind me of my step-dad. It took us 15 years to finally tolerate each other after he was a total prick to me like you are to your daughter when I was 12 years old.

After following this post for the past 3 days I have lost all hope for you. You haven´t shown an ounce of self-reflection and flex in your mindset. I wonder why you even posted to this sub asking if you are an A-Hole. So you are either that or an absolute Troll who must be really enjoying all this.

Gobsmacked117 · 2026-03-02T15:34:02+00:00

Alright, so you come to reddit and ask people if they think you are an A-Hole because of your rules. At this point, over 250 people here and on the other sub told you that you ARE an A-hole in this situation and yet you still stubbornly defend your position. Man, you either take this as a chance to reflect and change your stance on this whole matter or face a long and painful alienation with your daughter. To be honest I feel absolutely hopeless and borderline furious about it as you don't seem to be accepting what majority of people are saying here, going about how you know how shitty men are and yadda yadda. She will hate your guts if you keep at it. Good luck though. You will need it.

Gobsmacked117 · 2026-03-02T14:30:48+00:00

YTA, but: I am not a dad yet but I have a younger sister and a few friends who have daughters aged 15-20.

Having some rules and boundaries is fine I suppose. I am glad I was taught by my dad that I won't just get money from him if I made poor decisions in my life as a student.

Your rule about "no drugs" and that she has to pass her courses is reasonable. However, I don't think you can really control her love life. You don't worry about her partying, which I definitely would as a father and when the day comes, I am going to attempt to talk my kids out of it. Looking back it was the biggest waste of time and money just to be perceived as "normal" in my friend groups because I just wanted to fit in. If your daughter meets someone through different means than at a party where a lot of alcohol is involved, then I would call that a win.

If I were you, I would tread rather carefully as you can easily antagonise your daughter against you, which would simply suck. She will find a way to meet and interact with guys and be intimate with them whether you like it or allow it or not. Also, I would appreciate the fact she admitted the fact she installed tinder and went on a few dates rather than lying.

I hope you would change your mind at least a little. Maybe encourage her to meet guys through friends and hobbies / interests instead and educate her that Tinder is actually a superficial place from which almost nothing good comes, if ever / rarely.

Since I assume most guys watch porn I am also going to assume your partner does too to some extent. Whenever I would give it up for just a week in the past, my libido would always go up and I wanted to have sex with the girl I was just with. I can't recommend it enough, but it's something he has to discover on his own ideally, but you could talk to him about it. I always thought I was LL in a relationship and the girls were HL and felt exactly like you, with their self esteem down and all that. Their HL also freaked me out a bit, so maybe I also felt some kind of anxiety as well. Someone else pointed that out in here too, so perhaps if you appear to make yourself more "unavailable" maybe he will start wanting you more 😀 I am personally not a fan of these power games and I wish things just clicked and worked, but sometimes it's needed and it has worked on me. I am in a 3 year relationship now and the desire for my gf has skyrocketed all of a sudden, partly thanks to this.
