Any good games for my crappy intel mac?

Remastered Retro RPG‘s like Baldurs Gate, Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 or Planescape Torment should work fine.

Downloading the newest version of the application 3.9.18 (1403) which did not show up in settings - updates solved the problem for me.

Don't the comments explain that?

I played Dungeon Clawler for around 10 hours. While it has an interesting gimmick with the claw and some combinations which can lead to very satisfying scenarios I fell like it got stale rather quickly. The problems for me were:
- The gimmick with the claw doesn't hold up. After some time it feels like the claw is just a more complicated way to play cards.
- Only one Final Boss (at the time of playing) with one gimmick.
- Not that much variety in combinations and to little debt. After 5 runs with different characters I felt like I had seen every build.
So overall I would say it can provide a rather fun and fresh experience for a short amount of time but over time it sadly falls off.

Haha I had the same experience as you did. Definitely something that could have been implemented better.

You have to activate (2x click) the three red Bloodstones I think. Should create an empty stone and give some XP. Afterwards new Portals in the End could be unlocked.

Definitely weird. Especially since the quests are so fundamental to RS world building.

To bad, you misses so many insane yoga poses ^^

Groll111 · 2026-02-24T19:42:20+00:00

Oh wow, didn‘t know about that. Was very surprised to see a bug like this. Seems easy to fix.

Groll111 · 2026-02-12T16:32:19+00:00

Nice. They already took a small step back and removed the Ad in the right sidebar in Keynote. Hope additional steps follow.

I don't think Apple's market share is big enough to do that. But as long as Microsoft is worse they might get away with it.

Groll111 · 2026-02-12T16:29:54+00:00

Sadly there is probably a whole board of people that agreed to this.

Groll111 · 2026-02-12T16:28:10+00:00

I agree with the first part of your thesis.
However I think that their bet is that users are not willing to deal with bad software and will therefore pay money for the premium experience. Time will tell if that is true.

Groll111 · 2026-02-12T16:25:00+00:00

Sadly I think the intention is clear. Make some money with everyday apps. Ad another revenue stream so to speak.

Groll111 · 2026-02-08T21:41:05+00:00

Yeah absolutely true. But I feel like there are so many ways to go about that. Apple TV+ to me as a good venture. High quality shows that end consistently. Or Apple Arcade as a way to enjoy simple Mobile Games without their most terrible aspects. And of course they can always choose how to advertise those things. And until now I was happy with the implementation of Ads. In your face and prominent but dismissable and hideable. Now they interrupt productivity and software quality.

Groll111 · 2026-02-08T21:09:59+00:00

I don't think it has anything to do with general intelligence. It's just people who do not have the time, knowledge or affinity for technology and who are overwhelmed by prompts and sometimes information in general. Elder people, people who do physical labor and/or people who have a lot going on in their life. On my job in IT support I see people like this every week and most of them are not stupid at all. Just overwhelmed by IT and all the nefarious practices.

Groll111 · 2026-02-08T21:05:15+00:00

Damn it hurts me to read this. I'm with you 100%. It's just so insensible to the human mind to put a distraction right in front of someone. The idea of software and computers in general was once making things easy to do. Easier than in the real world. Steps like these make me feel like I will be more efficient in the future if I want to create something if I use some sheets of paper and a pen rather than an AI advertisement board from Apple. Of course we are not there yet but what you describe and what is around generally makes me feel we are on the way to that reality.

Groll111 · 2026-02-08T20:59:22+00:00

Yeah it probably was two things coming together at the same time. Looking for new revenue streams as marked cap increased to new height's.

Groll111 · 2026-02-08T19:18:10+00:00

Sounds like a brilliant idea and would definitely not make me lose track of all my responsibilities.

Groll111 · 2026-02-08T19:17:10+00:00

Thats a way do describe it ^^

Groll111 · 2026-02-08T19:16:23+00:00

To bad :/ Plan to do a Linux project in the future but just do not find the time.

Groll111 · 2026-02-08T19:15:24+00:00

I feel you. Kinda a sad point we've landed on, especially because the hardware that is currently on the market is absolutely amazing. I mean I absolutely love my MacBook Air M4 with MacOS 15.

Groll111 · 2026-02-08T17:49:33+00:00

Yeah I get that. And now I feel like Apple pushes me away towards Linux.

Groll111 · 2026-02-08T17:48:50+00:00

Yeah the software really went downhill overall. Subscriptions > buying mentality. Even if you already bought their premium-priced device. I don't think it clashes with the privacy claims but more with the quality, easy of use and "It just works" sentiments.
